Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 54 The younger brother who failed to bring honor to his family

Gu Haiyan arrived at the restaurant a short while later. The three of them gathered together and toasted with coconut milk: "Celebrating the end of Huanhuan's monthly exam!"

Wang Jiaan was still a little worried, so after the toast, he reminded her, "Huanhuan, don't be too stressed. It's normal to feel uncomfortable in a new environment..."

"Dad, do you assume that I won't do well in the exam?" Gu Qinghuan said quietly.

Wang Jia'an was speechless, and Gu Haiyan put a piece of sweet and sour pork into his bowl: "Alright, eat yours!"

The sweet and sour pork in this Northeastern restaurant is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right sweet and sour flavor. The crust is not too thick, and the sweet and sour crust makes a crunchy sound when you bite it.

Gu Qinghuan ate three pieces in a row and felt a little too sweet, so she took half a bowl of vermicelli from the chicken and mushroom stew.

The vermicelli is stewed into an attractive sauce color. When you pick it up with chopsticks, it is still translucent. It is fresh and fragrant when you chew it in your mouth and is very chewy.

She took exams for two days in a row and had no idea how many brain cells she had consumed. She felt like her soul was almost dried up. After guzzling a delicious meal, she recovered a lot of her energy.

Unfortunately, her heart was too big but her stomach was not big enough. She ate until she was 60% full, but only half of the sweet and sour pork was gone.

Gu Qinghuan burped and started thinking about how to reheat the sweet and sour pork in order to preserve its deliciousness to the greatest extent.

She leaned back in her chair to take a break, preparing to eat a few more bites of rice with egg sauce later. When she raised her head, she noticed someone outside the store.

She sat next to the glass wall on the side of the store door, so she could see what was going on outside the store at a glance.

It was the peak dinner time, with people coming and going, and many people stopping to look at the sign near the store door, wondering whether to come in for dinner.

However, the person that Gu Qinghuan noticed was not looking at the sign. His eyes were wandering and he glanced at Gu Qinghuan several times, but he did not pay special attention to her.

Like...looking for someone in the store?

Before Gu Qinghuan could even take a second look, the man strode into the store.

Another waiter came over and said, "Hello, how many people are there?"

"I'm not here to eat, I'm here to look for someone." The man said, pointing at Wen Ye who was serving food to a table of guests, "It's him."

The waiter didn't think much about it and called out, "Xiao Wen, someone is looking for you."

When Wen Ye heard the shout, he subconsciously turned his head to look over, but as soon as he saw the man, his pupils suddenly dilated and he wanted to run towards the kitchen.

However, before the waiter called for help, the man had already taken big strides towards Wen Ye, and just two or three steps away from Gu Qinghuan's table, he grabbed Wen Ye's shoulder.

The waiter saw Wen Ye's attitude and knew something was wrong, so he quickly pulled the man's shoulders away and blocked him: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Wen Ye seemed to know that he couldn't escape at this moment, so he simply stopped running and stood behind the waiter with a sullen face.

Gu Qinghuan remained silent and looked at the man.

He was wearing a black round-neck short-sleeved shirt, tan wide-leg jeans, and white sneakers, and looked quite young.

Judging from his face, he seemed to be around 35 years old, with a little moustache, more on the sides and less in the middle, which made him look a bit uncouth.

The man forced a smile and said, "Nothing, just a family kid, just saying hello."

"My own child?" The waiter was a little skeptical. "Who are you to Xiao Wen?"

"I'm his uncle," the man introduced himself, "My name is Zhang Guangzong."

Gu Qinghuan, who was eavesdropping with her ears perked up, choked up. Was it the two words she was thinking of? The "Guangzong" in "Guangzongyaozu"?

“I don’t know you.” Wen Ye said viciously, “When you wanted to sell my mother to the village, she severed ties with your Zhang family.”

Wow! Gu Qinghuan stopped holding the chopsticks, and the whole restaurant became quiet. Almost all the guests looked over.

Zhang Guangzong's smile was a little off: "Kid, how can you talk like that? Your father died early, and your mother is a woman, isn't it natural for her to find a man to protect her?"

Gu Qinghuan’s fists hardened!

Gu Haiyan, who was also secretly eavesdropping, also clenched her fists!

Sister Liu heard something wrong in the store and ran out from the kitchen. When she saw what was happening, she pulled a regular customer over to ask what was going on, and then she and the waiter stood in front of Wen Ye.

Sister Liu smiled with a fake smile: "Oh, so you are the beast who lost all the money from selling me in one night?"

Zhang Guangzong's expression was completely unbearable: "Who are you scolding?"

"I'll scold anyone who answers!" Sister Liu rolled her eyes. "Brother Wen told me everything before he passed away. Don't even think about taking Sister Qingliu and Xiao Wen away!"

Sister Qingliu... the name of Wen Ye's mother? Gu Qinghuan was thinking about it when Zhang Guangzong snorted, "What Qingliu? Even if Zhang Lai Di changed her name, she is still a member of our Zhang family."

"Her parents are old now, so she has to give some alimony. This is clearly stipulated by the law! Don't even think about denying it!"

Gu Qinghuan could guess with just a little bit of thinking that the person who actually spent the alimony would be Zhang Guangzong.

She put down her chopsticks and made eye contact with Gu Haiyan: Mom, can I go up?

Gu Haiyan replied: Go ahead! Mom will take care of you if anything goes wrong!

"Ahem!" Gu Qinghuan cleared his throat, "This little brother who failed to bring honor to the family."

Wang Jiaan almost couldn't hold it in. Why did his daughter seem to become even more ruthless with her words after entering high school?

Zhang Guangzong was still feeling proud when he suddenly heard someone interrupting him. The title alone was enough to make him angry. He thought for a moment and realized that it was actually a little girl!

He immediately scolded: "What are you saying, little girl? It's none of your business!"

Gu Qinghuan was not angry either: "I just want to say that according to the law, Wen Ye's family is in such a bad situation now that they can be exempted from the obligation of support. Even if you go to court to sue, you won't get any money."

She didn't know the actual situation of Wen Ye's family, but the fact that he didn't go to high school was enough to prove that his family's income was very poor.

Zhang Guangzong choked and hesitated to say something, but Gu Qinghuan continued with a smile: "Of course, you can also sue. First prepare the case filing materials, submit them to the court, wait a week, and then mediate."

"The mediation will last for a month or even longer. You guys are not going to accept the mediation, right? Then we'll file a case. After the case is filed, you have to pay a fee. Do you have the money to pay?"

"Even if you pay the fees, you still have to wait for a court date, which can take three months at the fastest and half a year at the slowest. Of course, it may take even longer in actual situations."

"It's such a waste to spend so much time and money, and in the end you might not get anything.

Gu Qinghuan shook his head and sighed: "Are you sure you still want to do this?"

Zhang Guangzong didn't know any of these things. He just heard that children had to support their elders, so he ran over excitedly to ask for money.

He had made his calculations. He heard that Wen Ye was working in Mingde's cafeteria, and he must be able to earn a lot of money in Mingde.

It is not natural for a son to give money to his mother!
