Chapter 409 - Yun Zhu and Yun Lang Going to School

“Many years ago, you were the one who abandoned me. Now, you’re the one who’s afraid that I’ll embarrass you. It’s not like you don’t have a son, so why bother with me?”

Gu Ting did not give Zhang Yuan any face at all. His words were full of sarcasm. He did not want to admit that the man in front of him was his father, nor did he want to admit that the man in front of him had anything to do with him.

At this time, Zhang Yuan’s heart was filled with guilt and helplessness. He also knew that Gu Ting was telling the truth. He was indeed the one who had abandoned Gu Ting back then.

However, he originally thought that the child would not be so vengeful. When he grew up, Zhang Yuan would help him plan his future. Everything would still be in time. He did not expect that in just a few years’ time, this child had already grown into a powerful figure. He was no longer a child that was protected by his wings.

“Even if it’s not for me, for yourself, can’t you listen to me for once? I know that what you’re doing now is something that will cost you your head. You might be lucky enough not to be found out once or twice, but can you guarantee that you won’t be found out after that?”

Zhang Yuan’s eyes were a little dim, his tone carried a hint of begging. “I’m begging you this time. Moreover, that’s the city where your mother grew up. Don’t you want to see it become better? Are you willing to see it rot like a worm by your people?”

Gu Ting was silent when he heard this.

His face was gloomy and his emotions were complicated.

“Okay, I agree with you.”

Gu Ting nodded his head. This might be the first time he listened to Zhang Yuan in so many years.

“That’s great! My son!” Zhang Yuan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch his son but was shunned by Gu Ting.

However, Zhang Yuan did not care. There was still a smile on his face.

He did not expect his son to agree. Although it was only a few words, it made him feel endless warmth.

He had never expected his son to forgive him.

However, he did not expect Gu Ting to actually agree to his request.

“Don’t worry, I will do my best to protect you.”

Zhang Yuan’s words may have come from the bottom of his heart, but to Gu Ting’s ears, they sounded like a joke.

…

On the other side, in the firewood shop of the Yun family’s main house.

“Boss, I see Second Brother’s family is helping their Yun Zhu to look after the primary school in the county town. Yun Lang is also at the age of going to primary school. Why don’t we look for one in the county town?” Liu Fang suggested.

“Let Second Brother and his family look for one. After that, we can go to the same school as him. This way, we won’t make them feel bad. The school fees we save can also supplement the nutrition of the children. When the time comes, their grades will be better than second brother’s, and their families will be embarrassed.”

Yun Gang always wanted to compete with the other two families. Now that he could not compete with Yun Shan’s family, at least he had to compete with Yun Lin’s family.

“Okay, then I’ll take Yun Lang out this afternoon and buy some stationery and school bags for school.”

Liu Fang now dared to spend money lavishly. This firewood shop was well-run and had developed several regular customers of restaurants. The husband and wife were living like fish in water now. They had long been rid of the label of poverty in the past.

“Mom, I want a car model. I saw the child next door playing with this model yesterday. It looks very high-class. If I had one, I would be able to make Yun Zhu jealous.”

Hearing that they were going out to buy things, Yun Lang immediately made a series of requests.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll buy you whatever you like.”

Business was good now. Liu Fang would give Yun lang whatever he wanted. With money, even though she could not get rid of the stars in the sky, she could buy whatever her son wanted. It was a kind of endless doting.

“Great! Great!”

Yun Lang’s emotions were written all over his face, but he did not know that his family’s good days were coming to an end.

This time, the change to the county was to build a batch of buildings. However, the first thing to be solved when building a building was the problem of heating. After all, the buildings were no longer like the courtyards of these bungalows, where they could burn some crop straws, coal, and wood to keep warm.
