Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 152 Bad News

Gu Dahu had just been speaking out of inspiration as he watched his two grown-up grandsons. Knowing his words were inappropriate, the old man stopped talking about the topic.

"While everyone is here today, let's finalize the schedule for your mother's funeral!" Gu Dahu said to everyone.

These are all old rules, and now they are just being taken out and confirmed again to ensure that there are no mistakes. Regarding these things, Gu Qingyu sat quietly in the corner and listened, without expressing any opinions.

For Gu Qingyu, no matter how glorious the death is, it is not as good as being well-respected during life. She looked at the coffin in the main hall and just wanted to send the old lady on her last journey. Nothing else mattered.

Because the body will be kept for seven days, people will come to pay their respects over the next few days. The Gu family members will need to wait in the mourning hall and thank those who come to pay their respects.

Chen Mingzhu was still working in the countryside in Xiaao Village, so she naturally heard the news of Li Dahua's death. Gu Qingyu had always taken good care of her over the years, and upon hearing the news, Chen Mingzhu immediately put down her work and went to Gu's house with Fu Wenjing to pay tribute to Li Dahua.

"Thank you for coming to see my grandma off for the last time!" Gu Qingyu thanked the people who had just finished paying their respects.

"Qingyu, please accept my condolences and take good care of yourself!" Chen Mingzhu looked at Gu Qingyu who obviously did not get enough rest and reminded her worriedly.

Actually, even without the Li Dahua incident, Chen Mingzhu also had something to discuss with Gu Qingyu. However, Chen Mingzhu looked at Gu Qingyu, who looked much more haggard, and was a little undecided. Should she talk to Gu Qingyu right now?

Seeing Chen Mingzhu's hesitation and hesitation, Gu Qingyu thought she was in trouble and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to tell me? Why are you so slow?"

Chen Mingzhu thought of her brother's instructions on the phone. She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. She simply pulled Gu Qingyu up and walked to the wall outside the yard. Then she whispered in Gu Qingyu's ear, "Qingyu, my brother asked me to tell you something. He told you to make plans early after hearing it."

"Your brother? What's the matter?" Gu Qingyu asked Chen Mingzhu with a frown.

"My brother said that the lady has been confined to the State Guest House and is not allowed to move freely! Those who depended on her are now being liquidated. He asked me to tell you that Wang Dahai from your former unit has been invited in for tea, so you should make plans early."

Gu Qingyu's face darkened when she heard this. This matter was really tricky. She was indeed able to be seconded to Ping'an County through Wang Dahai's connections. This matter would be clear once it was investigated.

"From her observation, Wang Dahai is not a tough guy. If nothing unexpected happens, he will reveal these things soon."

Gu Qingyu rubbed her brows in a headache. This incident really caught her off guard. According to Gu Qingyu's original plan, she wanted to resign and get out before the college entrance examination policy was released.

It may be that some special people flapped their wings too much, causing the timeline to be advanced so much that Gu Qingyu's original plan was ruined.

In this situation, even if Gu Qingyu knew the news, it would be of no use. A small person like her could only watch and see how this huge historical change would unfold.

"How is your family?" Gu Qingyu came back to her senses and asked Chen Mingzhu. She remembered that the second uncle of the Chen family was highly favored and promoted by that lady.

"My second uncle has been suspended from work and is at home. I don't know what will happen next! But with my grandfather here, my second uncle should be able to get through this!" Chen Mingzhu said uncertainly.

"Qingyu, I may not be able to come on the day of the old lady's funeral. My family has already made arrangements. I will go back to Beijing in two days!" Chen Mingzhu paused for a long time, and finally told her that she was leaving.

"Huh? Why so sudden?" Gu Qingyu looked up at Chen Mingzhu in surprise and asked.

However, the other person's eyes were always lingering on Fu Wenjing standing in front of him, as if he wanted to remember this person deeply in his mind.

"Mingzhu?" Gu Qingyu's voice brought Chen Mingzhu back to her senses. She laughed at herself and finally said to Gu Qingyu with relief, "Second Uncle chose the wrong side this time. Although the old man stepped in to save the Chen family, it ultimately dealt a heavy blow to the family's vitality."

"I no longer have the right to continue willfully pursuing so-called love. I should go back and shoulder my responsibilities as the daughter of the Chen family!"

"So you're going back to...?"

"Well, I'm going back to get married. You have to bless me, Gu Qingyu!" Chen Mingzhu looked at Gu Qingyu's hesitant and worried eyes and suddenly spoke.

Gu Qingyu was shocked by Chen Mingzhu's news. She looked at Chen Mingzhu worriedly and asked, "Why is it so sudden? Who is the other party?"

Looking at Gu Qingyu's worried expression, Chen Mingzhu knew that the other party might have misunderstood something.

So Chen Mingzhu explained, "Don't worry. Our Chen family would never really sell our daughter, no matter how bad our situation! The man is the eldest son of the Li family's eldest son—Li Yunling. He's already an Air Force colonel at such a young age. What a rare young talent!"

"Him!" Gu Qingyu suddenly realized.

"But I heard before that this guy got married a few years ago?" Gu Qingyu said uncertainly.

"What do you think? He is such a favored man. If the previous wife had not suddenly fallen ill, it would never be my turn to take advantage of him, right?" Chen Mingzhu said speechlessly, rolling her eyes.

Gu Qingyu felt a little relieved when she saw that Chen Mingzhu had no negative emotions at all.

"As long as you don't regret it, then I wish you a happy life and a happy marriage in the future."

"Thank you, Qingyu!" Chen Mingzhu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingyu, saying gratefully.

After bidding farewell to Chen Mingzhu, Gu Qingyu finally had time to think carefully about the news the other party had just told her.

Maybe the situation developed faster than she thought. Before, Gu Qingyu was immersed in the sadness of Li Dahua's death, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

Now Gu Qingyu observed carefully and found the problem. She had never missed any of the social interactions in Ping'an County over the years.

But this time Li Dahua passed away suddenly. Except for a few very close relatives who sent wreaths, almost no one from the Ping'an County Committee sent wreaths. This is very unusual!

You have to know that Gu Qingyu has been involved in many of the weddings and funerals of these families, but now it is already the fifth day, it is impossible that he has not heard the news.

All we can say is that these people avoided it for some reason!
