Chapter 744 Being kicked out of the house
Gui Er had no choice but to say, "Actually, I'm not sure, but it seems like it was Boss Xu's father, a former colleague of the Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan. If there's anything, they should go to them."
Sure enough, the Dean of Academic Affairs was stunned for a moment when these words came out, then immediately put on a smile and said, "I see. Then I'll arrange for another teacher to cover for Teacher Shen. Tell her not to rush and take her time."
Gui'er breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the classroom for class. However, as soon as she reached her seat, Zhou Huifang came over.
She asked shyly, "Gui'er, isn't your brother with the Military Commission? Is he on a mission? I haven't been able to contact Gao Zinong since the day before yesterday. This morning, Mr. Xu, our school's printer, didn't come either. I heard he also seems to work at the Military Commission. Is he on a mission? Is he in danger?"
Gui'er was in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, she didn't dare to tell Zhou Huifang the truth, so she said, "I don't know either. My brother usually doesn't tell our family even if he has a mission. They seem to have some kind of rules."
Zhou Huifang was very worried and returned to her seat in a depressed mood.
Gui'er looked at her and felt sorry for her. Although Gao Zinong had murdered his own comrades, he had been quite kind to Zhou Huifang. Furthermore, Zhou Huifang had been through so many ups and downs before, and finally found someone who was willing to treat her well, only to find it turned out like this. That day, she had watched Sha Yanyao shoot Gao Zinong; the wound was quite severe, and he had lost a lot of blood. She wondered if there were any aftereffects.
Throughout the whole day, Gui'er and Zhou Huifang each had their own concerns. Zhou Huifang was worried about Gao Zinong, while Gui'er was worried about Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie.
When school was over, Guier packed up her things and ran away immediately. She wanted to go back early to find out how Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie were doing.
Ah Cheng picked up Gui'er at the school gate and took her to a rickshaw. Gui'er asked him, "Brother, are you back? Did you tell her about Teacher Shen and her husband?"
Ah Cheng shook his head and said, "He hasn't come back yet." Then he looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Gui'er didn't care and urged the rickshaw to go back to Sha Mansion. Just as she arrived at the intersection of the road where Sha Mansion was located, she saw some things piled up at the gate of Sha Mansion.
She was very surprised and walked closer to see that they were her things, boxes of clothes, books, and suitcases, all placed at the door. Dingxiang was standing beside them crying.
Gui'er didn't know what was going on, so she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Dingxiang, what's going on?"
Ding Xiang said with a sad face, "Madam said that it was because you, young lady, were too close to those suspected communists that you twice implicated the eldest wife. They said that the house could no longer accommodate you and kicked us out. Originally, they didn't allow us to take anything, but I told you that your things were given by the second young master and if you were not allowed to take them, you should tell him. Only then did they let me move these things out. Brother Cheng and I didn't take any of our luggage, and now we are not allowed to enter the gate anymore."
Guier quickly checked. Her pocket pistol and pump-type pen were in her pencil case, undetected, so she took them out. She also took out the Kangxi Dictionary, which contained banknotes, gold bars, and silver dollars, because it was with the other books. However, her jewelry box was missing.
"Didn't I take out my jewelry box?"
"The eldest young lady said that since you're moving out now and don't know where to live, it's easy to lose your valuables if you carry them with you, so she's keeping them for you first."
Gui'er didn't expect that Miss Tian would actually take advantage of her misfortune at this time. In the jewelry box, there was a set of jade jewelry given by Sha Yanxiao and some beautiful jewelry left to her by Ji Yiru. They were all very valuable and were usually only worn when attending formal occasions. Miss Tian had seen them before and said they were beautiful. She must have had her eyes on them at that time. Now she said she would help keep them, which was probably like a tiger borrowing a pig.
All these luggages were piled up on the road at the entrance of Shahu, including boxes, cabinets and bundles. People passing by took a curious look. When the neighbors heard the news, they ran out to watch the fun, thinking that Guier had done something wrong and was kicked out, and pointed and talked about it.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Gui'er thought it was not a good idea to leave, so she wanted to go in and apologize to the lady before leaving.
When she reached the door, it was locked. The doorman saw her, walked over and said respectfully, "Miss, the madam said you can't go in anymore, and Dingxiang and Acheng don't need to come anymore. I was only following orders, so please don't hold a grudge against me."
Gui'er smiled and said, "Is Mother still angry? Can you help me pass on a few words? Just say I want to go in and apologize to her. There are more and more people watching the fun outside, and this will only make people laugh at our Sha Mansion."
Menzi nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment." Then he turned and went in.
After a while, he came out and said to Gui'er with a troubled look on his face, "Miss, I was useless and failed to convince the lady. She asked you guys not to stand at the door and asked us to drive you away to avoid others watching the fun. We are just following orders. Please don't make it difficult for us."
Gui'er didn't expect the lady to be so heartless, but she really had nowhere to go now. Miss Shen hadn't come back yet, and Mrs. Shen was so anxious at home that she didn't know how to disturb her.
She thought Sha Yanyao would still protect her, so she said to Dingxiang, "Dingxiang, take care of the luggage. I'll find a phone booth and call Big Brother."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard a horn behind him. He turned around and saw Sha Yanyao driving back.
Guier breathed a sigh of relief.
Sha Yanyao saw some boxes and cabinets piled up at the door of his house, as if someone was moving, so he hurried down to take a look. He saw Dingxiang and Guier standing there with sad faces, and some neighbors were pointing and talking beside them.
"Gui'er, what's going on?"
When Gui'er saw that Sha Yanyao had returned, she quickly told him the reason.
"This is not nonsense, right? Wait a minute, don't worry, I'll go tell mother right away." Then he went in.
Gui'er and Dingxiang waited by the road for a while before Sha Yanyao finally came out. He looked unhappy and said to Gui'er, "Guier, this is what's going on. Mother is still furious, and I don't know why she's so angry this time. How about this? You go stay at Jinbao's for a few days. When Mother's anger subsides, I'll bring you back."
Gui'er nodded. In fact, she was not worried at all about where to stay. As long as the money in the Kangxi Dictionary was not lost, she could stay in the most luxurious restaurant in Nanjing for a few days.
