Chapter 1354 The Little Widow in the 4th Courtyard 81

Zhao Gui packed up all his things, looked around the house and said, "Let's go."

Aunt Zhao no longer dares to mention adopting Zhao Juan's child. She has thought about the impact this matter will have on her own family.

She felt that it was just a matter of pointing fingers at others, and as long as she could endure it for two or three years, it would be over.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gui actually applied to be transferred to a branch of the machinery factory in another city.

Even though the construction there is pretty good now, it can't be compared with the capital. It's really in the mountains, and to get to the nearest town, you have to cross mountains and hills.

"There is a high school over there. You must study hard and try to get into university in Beijing." Zhao Gui is now ignoring Aunt Zhao.

He is already an elderly man, and the reason he was able to transfer there this time was because the people there wanted to transfer back, and he also gave some gifts to the leader, so the leader agreed to let him go.

Otherwise, given his situation, it would be impossible for him to go to other places to provide construction assistance.

Zhao Gui is now looking forward to Zhao Jian returning to the capital to study. "If we rent out the house, when you return to the capital to study, you will also have a place to stay when you get married."

Although Zhao Jian regretted that his family had to move to another place because he heard that there were only mountains and ravines there, the neighbors in the compound were fine since Zhao Juan's incident was exposed.

The neighbors and classmates in the yard outside were all pointing at him. Zhao Jian was very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. The house was a mess now, and any of her saying this would only cause more trouble for Zhao Gui.

Although Zhao Jian had various concerns about living in another place, he also had hope in his heart.

Zhao Lei walked to the door, "Zhao Jian."

Zhao Jian heard the voice, "Brother Lei."

Zhao Lei handed a stack of materials to Zhao Jian, "These are some of my notes from junior high school and first year of high school."

"Study hard when you get there." Zhao Lei knew that Zhao Gui did not sell the house, so he immediately understood his arrangement.

Zhao Jian looked at the information in Zhao Lei's hand, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, "Brother Lei."

"Why are you crying?" Zhao Lei looked at the crying Zhao Jian and couldn't help but think of the time when Zhao Jun fell down and the whole family was in a panic. Later, it was thanks to Zhang Yu that he did not get stuck in it but walked out, otherwise he didn't know what would happen to his family.

"When you get there, tell me if you encounter any problems with your studies." Zhao Lei really felt sorry for Zhao Jian.

His academic performance was really good, but it was a pity that he encountered such a thing.

Zhao Lei has been educated in Beijing since he was born. He doesn't know what the education situation is like in other places, but he doesn't think a school in a mountain village can compare with that in Beijing.

Zhao Jian nodded, "Brother, don't worry, I will study hard."

For his own sake and for Zhao Gui's, Zhao Jian knew that he had to work harder now.

Zhao Gui did not go out. When people saw the children interacting with each other, they would not think much about it. If he went out, the situation would be different.

It's really good to be able to have something delivered to my house at this time.

"Brother Lei gave me the review materials." Zhao Jian noticed that Aunt Zhao kept looking at the materials in his hand.

"Ah, she just gave me the review materials." Aunt Zhao curled her lips, "I thought she would give me some food."

Zhao Jian didn't want to pay attention to this adoptive mother who never understood things. "Dad, I'll go put my things away."

Zhao Gui glanced at Aunt Zhao and continued packing. He had to vacate the house today and hand it over to the tenant later. Then they would go to the station.

Aunt Zhao was very angry when she saw the father and son who were minding their own business. She wanted to stop them and ask them what was wrong with them.

"Don't make me angry." Zhao Gui looked at Aunt Zhao viciously.

Aunt Zhao was frightened by the man's eyes again, "I know, I know."

Aunt Zhao knew that Zhao Gui was now very much wishing she would die. If she was not worried that the incident would affect them, she would definitely send her away.

She couldn't think of getting divorced at her age, so her family had no chance of getting it. When Zhao Juan got into trouble before, she went back to beg her family, hoping that they could adopt Zhao Juan's child. She secretly gave them money every month, but no one agreed.

He kept saying that I was the descendant of a criminal and that he was worried about being implicated. This made Aunt Zhao very angry.

But for the sake of Zhao Juan and her son, no matter how angry Aunt Zhao was, she had to endure it and brought up the matter of helping her mother's family in the past, hoping that they would remember the good things that had happened in the past.

In the end, they said that she did it voluntarily, and it was all in the past, so why did they keep bringing it up? They also told people to look forward and so on.

Thinking of what happened that day, Aunt Zhao still feels heartbroken. Can she go back to such a relative after the divorce?

Even if they were willing to accept her, it was only because of the money she would get after the divorce and her ability to do housework. Once she had no money left and was old and frail and unable to do housework, she would be kicked out.

Aunt Zhao doesn't want to be without a place to live when she is old, so she might as well stay with Zhao Gui.

No matter how much he hated her, he still had to at least give her some face.

When Zhao Gui and his family left, everyone came to see him off and gave them some gifts.

After all, after this farewell, no one knows when they will meet again. Even if Zhao Gui's house is kept and not sold, everyone feels that the possibility of returning is slim.

Zhang Yu also gave Zhao Gui a farewell gift, "It's the fish I caught earlier. I simply pickled it."

No one expected that Zhao Gui would give such a gift. You know, although they gave some small things, as for food, that was even more impossible.

After receiving the review materials from Zhao Lei, Zhao Gui thought that Zhang Yu would not give anything, but unexpectedly, she actually gave something.

"Zhang Yu." Zhao Gui really couldn't control his tears, "I used to, I used to..."

"Be careful over there." Zhang Yu's tone was very stiff, "I will never forget that you plotted against my family after Zhao Jun's death."

"I will give you a gift because of Zhao Jian. Xiao Jian is a sensible child."

Zhang Yu said stiffly, and everyone present immediately understood why Zhang Yu gave the gift.

"Xiao Jian is a good child." Among so many children in the compound, the only ones who love to study and have good grades are Zhao Lei's siblings and Zhao Jian.

When they were chatting before, they all said that if anyone in the compound would be admitted to university, it would definitely be the three of them.

I didn't expect that Zhao Jian is going to the mountains now. Although there are schools there, can they be compared with the educational resources here in Beijing?

Even in Beijing, schools in the suburbs cannot compare with those in the city, not to mention the mountainous areas in the west.

"Thank you." Zhao Gui thanked everyone one by one and left the courtyard with his luggage.

Compared to Aunt Zhao who kept looking back and was reluctant to leave, Zhao Gui did not look back the whole time. He was confident that he would return to the capital in the future with a brand new look.

"Xiao Jian, you must remember the neighbors who gave us gifts today." Zhao Gui looked at a bag in his hand and couldn't control his tears again.

Zhao Jian kept nodding, "Dad, don't worry, I know."
