Chapter 23: Look at it differently
When leaving the Red Flag Brigade, Qin Shiman set a trap for Gu Wan.
She cursed at the elders of the Gu family, blaming them for abusing her and deliberately giving the wrong child away so that their own granddaughter could have a good life.
Of course Qin Shiman knew this. It was because her mother and Qiao Yuemei gave birth on the same day in the same place. The situation was chaotic that day and both gave birth to girls.
Newborn babies all look similar so the wrong one might have been taken away accidentally. The Gu family didn’t do it on purpose.
Of course Qin Shiman would not say that. She was just scolding them for letting her daughter enjoy a good life and deliberately replacing herself with a poor country girl.
He also said that their daughter would definitely not want to come back. The Qin family is so rich that they can live a good life in the city.
Anyway, it describes Gu Wan as a bad girl who is vain and doesn't recognize her biological parents.
Then she showed her charming side in front of Qi Yuanhang early in the morning. In terms of appearance alone, perhaps Qin Shiman is not as good as Gu Wan.
But Qin Shiman had worked in that field in her previous life, so she knew what kind of women were the most charming and most likely to attract men's attention.
It's normal for a fool like Qi Yuanhang to be attracted to Qin Shiman and give up Gu Wan.
According to the time calculation, Gu Wan should have returned to the Gu family in the countryside.
It is conceivable how the Gu family, who already had no good impression of her, would "entertain" her.
The old lady in the Gu family said that she loved her only granddaughter the most, but in fact she was a fierce one.
Besides, the current situation of the Gu family is very dire. It would be strange if Gu Wan could get good treatment in the past.
For example, old man Gu broke his leg and Gu Shan's wife had a difficult childbirth. These were all the result of the Gu family's luck value decreasing and the whole family starting to have bad luck.
Thanks to the good fortune of the Gu family in her previous life, Qin Shiman actually lived a good life in the Red Flag Brigade, compared to the standard of an average family in the village.
If we have to use different reference points for comparison, Qin Shiman feels that life in the country is a world apart from life in the city, especially life at her aunt's house and life at the Qin family living in the compound.
In fact, later on, as the market developed, the boys of the Gu family were all very capable in making a living outside, but Qin Shiman had already left her hometown at that time.
But this time, the Gu family still owed foreign debts and they had begun to dislike their daughter coming back from outside, so Gu Wan would definitely have to work in the fields when she returned.
Qin Shiman's impression of Gu Wan is still that of the wealthy lady from her previous life who had never done housework. She is definitely not capable of doing farm work and might even cry while doing it.
Thanks to Qin Shiman's foresight, she accidentally met an educated youth who was going to Yongfeng Commune. Wouldn't this come in handy?
Qin Shiman really hoped to hear Zhou Weihong calling her and telling her how miserable Gu Wan's life was now.
But considering the current situation of Yongfeng Commune, especially the Hongqi Brigade, it is probably difficult to have the opportunity to make a phone call.
Thinking of this, Qin Shiman couldn't help but look at her biological parents sitting on the other side, still feeling a little dissatisfied.
They really hated the Gu family, but ever since they knew that Gu Wan had volunteered to go to the countryside and won honor for the leaders in the compound, they began to feel sorry for him.
Especially Zhao Xuemei. After all, Gu Wan had been someone she had cherished and doted on for more than ten years. How could she not have any feelings for him?
So occasionally, Zhao Xuemei would mention Gu Wan, worried that the child would suffer if he impulsively went to the countryside.
Qin Shiman saw it but couldn't help mocking her in her heart. She even said that she was very sorry for her and felt that she was crying on behalf of Gu Wan who had suffered so many years in the countryside.
It was just talk. Once Gu Wan left, she started talking about her good points. Qin Shiman curled her lips in disdain. Fortunately, she knew from her previous life that family affection was unreliable and she could only rely on herself.
The reason why she couldn't wait to return to the Qin family was simply because of the benefits brought by her identity as a rich lady in the compound.
Another important reason is Qi Yuanhang.
Not only did Qin Shiman see it herself, the system also told her that Qi Yuanhang was extremely helpful to her at a certain period of time.
"Oh, I don't know how that girl is doing now." Suddenly, Zhao Xuemei muttered unconsciously.
"Mom, since you are so worried about her, why not give her a call and ask about the situation." Qin Shiman spoke at the right time, looking concerned.
Sure enough, because of her "kindness and thoughtfulness", Zhao Xuemei gained more points in her heart. The system told her that gaining favorability could improve her luck.
Qin Zhenfeng and Zhao Xuemei looked at each other, but both hesitated.
On the one hand, it was quite inconvenient to call Gu's family, as there was no phone number in the Red Flag Brigade. I had to tell them in advance to wait in the office of the commune leader.
On the other hand, when they went to pick up the child that time, they had a very unpleasant argument with the people from the Gu family.
And I know that the whole family is poor.
Qin Zhenfeng and Zhao Xuemei don't want to deal with those people now. It would be very bad if they were entangled by them and only thought about getting benefits from them every day.
Both of them work in politics, and they have often seen poor relatives who like to take advantage of other people's homes.
But then, Qin Shiman also thought of the inconvenience of Gu's family answering the phone, and then said with a worried look: "Hey, I don't know how Gu Wan is now. I really don't want to drive her away."
Zhao Xuemei was moved when she heard this: "Xiaoman, you are just too kind-hearted. But don't worry too much. If that girl can't stay in the country, she will definitely write to us or call us for help."
Don't blame Zhao Xuemei for being so confident. You have to know that her family is one of the better-off ones in the city.
Gu Wan used to live the life of a rich lady with everything provided for her. Now that she has returned to the countryside, she not only has to wash clothes and cook, but she also has to work in the fields.
Can she bear it?
Qin Shiman also understood this principle, but she was still a little anxious.
The main reason is that once Gu Wan leaves, her mission to seize luck by slapping the supporting actress will fail. Not only will she not get any benefits, but she will also have to accept punishment from the system.
The strategy system even gave her an ultimatum that if she continued to fail in her missions, she might end up losing everything she had.
This is the most unbearable thing, although Qin Shiman was reborn and has the advantage of foresight in many things.
But in fact, she didn't have much work and study experience in her previous life, and after her rebirth, she didn't know what to do except using her youth.
So it is so important for Qin Shiman to have a system that can assist her.
You have to know that everything she did after her rebirth, especially the fact that she was able to get Qi Yuanhang's special attention, was all because of the system.
If she lost it, Qin Shiman didn’t know what she would do in the future.
