Ah Zhu's words finally stopped Gu Changshu in his tracks. The man saw how Gu Changshu laid back on the bed as he held his wife's hand tightly. No matter how he looked at it, those two people did not look like a fake couple; that old woman was talking nonsense. Just because the couple did not do anything the previous night, she announced that they were fake.
Did she think that Gu Junhui, a delicate girl, would not be tired after sitting on the train for a few days? Ah Zhu felt that Gu Changshu must have felt sorry for Gu Junhui, who had been tired for a few days.
"Brother, why are you in the factory so early in the morning?"
Ah Zhu knew that Gu Changshu went to the factory to earn money, but he pretended not to know. "Brother Ding has shares in that factory. I heard that someone was causing trouble there, so I went to take a look. I didn't expect to see a girl saying that you were being beaten up when I came in. I was shocked to hear that."
Then, Lu Xingzhi said, "To earn money."
Jiang Yao explained in more detail. "Brother Changshu said that he couldn't sit around all day, so he wanted to take up some part-time jobs to earn as much as he could."
At that point, Jiang Yao continued to cry. "It's all because I'm useless. I don't know how to do anything, and I don't know how to earn money. That made Brother Changshu work so much harder."
"Hey, sister, don't start crying again!"
Ah Zhu was finally afraid of Gu Changshu's wife. He could not stop her from crying. "Don't worry about money. Brother Ding will be back in a few days. I say a few words on your behalf. You guys can stay here for the next few days and wait for the news. Changshu, you should take advantage of those few days to take good care of your body. Try to leave a good impression on Brother Ding when you see him."
Ah Zhu comforted Gu Changshu and Gu Junhui for more than an hour. Sometime later, he decided to leave the couple by themselves. After all, he still had many things to do, so he could not waste his time on the couple.
