Chapter 298 - Strange Glance
Chapter 298: Strange Glance
Gu Moli’s ambition had long been raised by Zhang Lan.
For a long time, she grew up to loathe the underdeveloped Jialuo.
Moreover, Zhang Lan had instilled how much better life was at the capital since she was young. She would definitely be destined to live in the capital.
In this era, those relatively poorer families in the underdeveloped villages might not even be able to afford a television, let alone other electrical appliances.
They might not have seen those luxuries for more than half their life.
Meanwhile, those families residing in the capital had been used to colored television, fridge, and DVD players.
Later, when people got married in the underdeveloped villages, televisions, sewing machines, and bicycles would be traditionally given as wedding gifts.
Zhang Lan’s family was faring better than others in Jialuo. After all, those farmers couldn’t earn much, no matter how hard they worked.
Soon, many people went to do business and go elsewhere to work. Some bolder people earned money, and their financial situation improved.
Now, Gu Moli was deeply captivated by everything in the capital.
The girls in the capital were dressed very beautifully.
The clothes in the shops were extremely vibrant.
Smiling young men would accompany young women to the cinemas.
There were also couples holding each other’s hands in the park.
Everything in this place was what Gu Moli desired.
And…
Gu Moli looked keenly at her mother. “Mom, the capital is really nice. I want to stay here!”
Zhang Lan was a bit hesitant. Last time, she had an intense argument with Bai Weiyang. She said that Moli wouldn’t be able to study at that academy.
“How about staying with us and working here first?”
Seeing that Zhang Lan was hesitant, Gu Moli gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, why do you have to stay with Uncle Wang here? He’s….”
“What’s wrong with him?” Zhang Lan felt uncomfortable being reproached by her daughter on this matter. This was her most beloved daughter. She felt she was losing face.
She tensed up. “Moli, don’t be like this. Your Uncle Wang helped me a lot! You’re still young. Don’t interfere with adult matters! And, don’t tell your father about this!”
Gu Moli didn’t know what the deal was between her mother and uncle.
In the beginning, they didn’t do anything, but recently, they would hug and kiss in front of her.
One time, Blacksmith Wang even put his hand inside Zhang Lan’s clothes in front of her.
Although Zhang Lan slapped it away with a smile, Blacksmith Wang turned around and grinned at Gu Moli.
That grin…
Gu Moli couldn’t describe it. She just felt uncomfortable and scared.
However, Gu Moli wouldn’t share it with her father, Gu Dagang. Since young, Gu Moli never had much respect for him. She even looked down on him.
He was a weak man. He would probably spend his entire life farming in an underdeveloped village.
Gu Moli bit her lips. “Mom, I want to study. I don’t want to work with you… Because for the past few days, Uncle Wang has been giving me weird glances!”
“What do you mean by weird glances?” Zhang Lan was taken aback.
