Chapter 69 Fracture
Mother Gu was stunned. She didn't know how to answer her daughter's question for a moment.

"Your brother was given to his father, and mom has also formed a new family," Gu's mother made up an excuse, "If the relationship is very close, your uncle Xiao will be unhappy."

"You're a child, and you don't understand adult matters. You can't play every day during the summer vacation. You should prepare well after finishing your summer homework." Gu's mother was worried that her daughter would question her again, so she used her studies to get rid of her.

She added, "Do you want to be like your brother? If you don't study hard, you won't even be able to get into high school."

Why didn’t Mr. Gu tell Mrs. Gu that their child was admitted to No. 8 Middle School?
It's very simple. Because Mother Gu was afraid that Father Gu would pester her, she blocked all contact methods. Only she could call, and Father Gu could not contact her actively.

What do you mean you can't get into high school! Gu Jiayu wanted to blurt out. My brother is much better than Xiao Yang and has been recommended to the best high school in Fog City.

But Gu Jiayu swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue. A hero must keep his mouth shut.

Returning to the bedroom, Gu Jiayu discovered that the bow and arrow toy her brother bought for her was missing. She thought about it and hurried to Xiao Yang's bedroom.

Sure enough, Xiao Yang was playing with it.

"Why did you take my bow and arrow? Give it back to me now." Gu Jiayu said.

"Lend it to me for a bit, I'll give it back to you later." Xiao Yang said as he continued to play with the plastic bow.

For little boys who are a little immature, bows and arrows are good toys.

"Give it back to me." Gu Jiayu was anxious. That was the toy her brother bought for her, and she herself was reluctant to play with it. And he took it away from the room without saying a word.

How abominable!

Gu Jiayu reached out to take it, but Xiao Yang was much taller than her. The latter raised his hand, and Gu Jiayu couldn't reach it even if she stood on tiptoe and jumped on the spot.

The angry Gu Jiayu's face looked like a little puffer fish, and she looked at Xiao Yang angrily.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Xiao Yang played more enthusiastically and with great force.

And then - click, the toy bow broke. It was originally a children's toy, and how could Xiao Yang, who was almost 1.7 meters tall, withstand the force?

Xiao Yang was quite embarrassed holding the bow, but it was human nature to pass the buck, so he immediately said, "This toy is of poor quality, I didn't even use any strength."

Xiao Yang threw the toy aside and Gu Jiayu picked up the toy and ran out of the bedroom.

She ran to the kitchen to ask her mother for help, "Mom, Xiao Yang broke my bow and arrow."

"That toy you brought back?" said Gu's mother. "It's broken, so it's broken. It's not an important thing. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Xiao Yang took my things without my permission and broke them. This is not good!" Gu Jiayu wanted his mother to criticize him.

But Gu's mother said, "Jia Jia, why are you so ignorant? We and your uncle Xiao are a family, Xiao Yang is your brother, can't he play with your toys?"

"Besides, I can tell at a glance that your toy is of poor quality..."

Gu Jiayu couldn't help but interrupt her mother, "That was a gift my brother bought for me. It's of great quality and has a different meaning."

Gu Lu was involved again, which made Gu's mother feel inexplicably irritated. This irritation might be because Gu Lu didn't want to come to her birthday this year, or he didn't plan to give her a birthday present.

"Alright! I'll buy you one later. What's the point of toys? Just do your homework and stop making trouble." The point of Gu's mother's words was that it was Gu Jiayu who was stingy.

Gu's mother likes her daughter very much, but the premise is that it does not involve her stepfather's family. Gu's mother has an inferiority complex and a flattering mentality towards Uncle Xiao, so in terms of diet and needs, she will first choose to satisfy Uncle Xiao and Xiao Yang, then Gu Jiayu, and finally herself. Naturally, when her daughter and Xiao Yang have a dispute, Gu's mother judges that her daughter is ignorant regardless of whether she is right or wrong.

Gu Jiayu returned to her bedroom and closed the door.

She just felt angry when Xiao Yang snatched her things, and felt sorry for the toys when they broke. But her mother's words made Gu Jiayu's eyes red, and this was not the first time this happened.

Gu Jiayu took the transparent tape and wrapped the broken part of the red arrow with it. She hadn't even played with the gift her brother had given her...

"I am a female knight and I cannot cry. Knights are the most powerful. They cannot cry."

This is how she "comforts" herself every time she feels wronged and dependent on others.

Time: 11:00 noon

Location: Cultural Village
Characters: Gu Lu and others

“It’s convenient because it’s near No. 8 Middle School, and the express delivery station is also close. Of course, it would be even better if the Cainiao Express Station could be opened soon.” Gu Lu sent the contract for "Years of Reasoning" away. It was convenient to have a copy of Gu’s father’s ID card in hand.

"Now I'm also a contracted writer for two magazines, and the income is enough to support myself." Gu Lu thought to himself.

Han Zang told him that the manuscript of "Mr. Holmes", which contained more than 50,000 words, was being proofread. Once the proofreading was completed, he would be paid 180 yuan per thousand words.

That would earn him nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties! Gu Lu planned to go to the computer mall to buy a computer when the money came in. In the days when JD.com was not yet famous, the computer mall was still useful.

By then, Gu Lu will be able to bid farewell to illegal Internet cafes completely.

The key point is that it seems that there will be a severe crackdown on illegal Internet cafes next year, so it is still necessary to buy the utensils for eating in advance.

Gu Lu had originally made an appointment with Fan Xiaotian to go out and play today, but the other party went back to his hometown Qianjiang, so they agreed to make an appointment next time.

That's right, no matter how good the relationship is when you are in school, once you graduate, it will become difficult to make an appointment due to subjective and objective reasons.

It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are a lot of things to do this afternoon, and Gu Lu still needs to go home to pack one or two sets of clothes...

"That's a bit exaggerated, brother. What's the difference between what you did and putting the car in neutral?" Gu Lu discovered a more serious problem.

The original body had limited clothes, and apart from the school uniform, it could only match one set. The rest were either too small or had a rip in the crotch.

As for the underwear - I bought it three years ago. We all know that children take a lot of time to wear clothes, so I won’t describe it in detail.

"So, when the school bell rang, I was the first one to run to the school gate? Could this be the reason?" Gu Lu shook his head violently. What else do you want to do? Go out and buy two sets of clothes quickly, otherwise it will be so shabby to go out and participate in activities.

That’s right, because the AC Forum’s offline 10th anniversary event includes air tickets and accommodation, Gu Lu agreed to go to Ice City.

I have previously introduced that the headquarters of "Years of Reasoning" is in Daqing, so there is nothing wrong with the venue of the event being Bingcheng, the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

There are estimated to be about 30 contracted writers for "Time and Space Mystery", and Han Zang is most looking forward to Teacher Gu, because as an editor, he also wants other writers to see "Teacher Gu".

Gu Lu went out wearing his school uniform. The uniform was designed to be so loose that it was convenient for exercise and children grew fast, so it would be less likely for the uniform to be too small for them to wear.

With his current income level, Gu Lu couldn't afford to buy branded clothes, so he went straight to the underground mall. Affordability was the key.
