Chapter 71: Writing A Letter To Third Elder Brother (1/2)

She went to another black market and only stopped after trading for an inkstone, a copybook, and over two hundred dollars in cash.

It was about ten o’clock in the morning and it was still early.

Gu Qingyao decided to make a trip to the city. After all, there would be even more fine items in the city’s black markets.

But first, she needed to buy a bicycle.

And before that, she needed to post a letter.

She had written a letter to her third elder brother, Gu Jinlin, who lived in the provincial capital. She asked him to find a way to get her father to make a trip to the provincial capital, returning only just before the new year.

Her elder and second uncle all lived in other areas that were rather far away. Her third uncle’s family lived nearest to them.

Gu Qingyao knew that her third elder brother would definitely help her.

All the grandchildren in their Gu family were boys, except her father, who had two daughters. Gu Ruoqing had been unlikeable from a young age, as she was lazy and rude, just like Zhang Xiaohui.

In the past, she had been obedient and mature. She had quietly done her chores at home and helped the adults with their work. Also, her father had always doted on her, so later on, everyone in the family became used to doting on her too.

After all, considering how she behaved in the past, everyone had thought of her as the most obedient and lovable girl.

So everyone in the family doted on her, whether it was the grandparents, the uncles, or the elder cousins.

This time, she had asked her third elder brother for help and he would certainly agree.

She resumed her normal appearance and took her already-written letter to post, but ran into someone near the post office. This young man smiled and greeted Gu Qingyao when he saw her. “Little Sister Gu!”

Gu Qingyao was startled. This man was in his twenties and his skin was rather swarthy, but looked pleasant and honest.

She thought he looked familiar, but momentarily could not recall who he was.

“Are you posting a letter?”
