MTL - Aim at That Star-Chapter 44 The boy I like is tall and bright
A person's way of thinking is largely determined by the environment in which he grew up.
And Jiang Shi and Gu Changying are no longer in the normal growth environment.
There is an era between them.
Any of Gu Changying's reasoning, justice, equality, is completely unreasonable here in Jiang Shi.
Even in the original novel, Jiang Shi didn't feel that he owed Gu Changying anywhere.
The reason why she would go back to her hometown in person, put her heart to heart, and make up for her by ceding land and paying indemnity, the emotion of pity is far greater than the guilt.
And when the original book Zhongjiang returned to Jiao'an County, Yu Kunyu was already pregnant.
The road was exhausted, and Jiang Shi was worried about her personal safety, so he didn't take her back.
So naturally, there won't be a chance like today - Gu Changying robbed him several times and humiliated Yu Kunyu as much as possible.
Jiang Shi would not be so easily aroused by her anger.
In Jiang Shi's heart, he is the king of beasts, and Gu Changying is just a stray cat.
A cat's barking at a tiger, what is there to be concerned about?
But Yu Kunyu was different.
In Jiang Shi's heart, Yu Kunyu needs more care, a delicate little milk cat that even makes soft sounds.
Gu Changying, this fierce wild cat, dared to scratch his paw on the face of his little milk cat, it was a heinous crime.
So he used the most severe method.
The gun, which didn't actually have a bullet in its magazine, pressed against her forehead, more a warning than a threat.
"This time, it's to protect Lao Tzu's bullets. Next time, if you are so ignorant, Lao Tzu will really shoot you."
......
Of course, Jiang Shi knew that this was just a warning.
Gu Changying did not know that there were no bullets in the magazine.
She collapsed on the cold bluestone floor with a pale face, raised her head and looked at the back of the man walking upstairs step by step.
His posture is very tall and straight, and the gesture of pinching the gun is very neat.
Even a single back is so deep and unpredictable.
Thinking back on it seriously, Jiang Shi seemed to be the first man she saw, who could make both laziness and spirit coexist in his body at the same time.
that is-
Mingming's attitude is casual, his tone is light, and even his hair shows the romantic and unrestrainedness of a dandy young master.
But the back is always upright, the steps are extremely regular, the long legs are straight, and the whole person walks like a sharp blade, which makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts.
If the warnings and actions just now were done by Yan Wang, the effect would be greatly reduced. It is hard to say whether Gu Changying was frightened or not.
And now, until this moment, she has not completely returned to her soul.
After holding his hands several times, he still couldn't get up from the ground, he could only stare at his back in a daze.
Watching him take two steps and go up to the second floor with ease, without even turning his head back.
Watching him open the door of the second room on the left, Yu Kunyu was inside.
Watching the steps go in, he squatted down after struggling for a moment, and tentatively rubbed the little girl's head.
The door was closed with a bang, instantly cutting off all prying eyes.
It's just that the sound insulation effect of this house is average, and the surrounding environment is quiet, so vaguely, a few words in the house can be captured.
"Stop crying...like a child...a joke..."
"...It's all my fault, okay, I'll apologize to you, I'll apologize to you..."
"...you have to be nice..."
- The soft tone and the gentleness of the voice are completely different from the cold-spoken demon just now.
While it was such a bright spring and a warm scene, Gu Changying could clearly feel the chill rising from the soles of his feet.
She felt like she couldn't take it anymore.
For her, this place was a purgatory on earth that would devour people all the time.
She has to run away.
......
Therefore, Gu Changying, who was thinking about running away, finally accepted all Yu Kunyu's proposals.
She didn't know what Jiang Shi said to her. In less than half a day, she signed the divorce letter and put her fingerprints on it without saying a word.
He didn't even dare to look at him with a stern look.
Yu Kunyu handed her a bulging bag of money, including silver dollars and bills.
Plus a pressed flat deed.
"What you want from Jiang Shi is two thousand silver dollars, but I think your situation is not good now. The letter from the family says that you will send all the dowry back to your mother's house to help your father avoid trouble, then rely on such cash, you A weak woman is likely to have an accident. So I make another decision, and transfer the several acres of good land in Chengdonglai and Dao to your name. There is a lot of land production, and it is agreed that there is no need to pay taxes and fees, as long as there is no large amount of land. In the event of a catastrophe, you can live on these fields. If you have any cash, save it first, just in case you need it.”
Gu Changying held a heavy bag of silver money, and before she had time to say anything, another thick letter was shoved into her hand: "This is a letter of introduction from Rende High School. In the cram school in the first half of the year, after getting familiar with the situation, I will go to middle school next year. This is also my alma mater. Although it is not the most famous, the teachers and school spirit are very good. You can study in peace.”
In the end, she was handed a few rental contracts:
"As for the house, I rented it for you on Tangpu Lane. It's not big, with two rooms plus a kitchen room and a small yard. You live alone, but if you rent a big one, it will be an eye-opener. It's close to your school. I live in clean houses, although the houses are older, but at least they are much safer than other places.”
Gu Changying took the things she handed over one by one, her fingers were slightly hard, and even her fingernails turned white.
During the whole process, she kept her head down and did not speak.
I have to say that Yu Kunyu is very thoughtful and works very well.
If it wasn't for Gu Changying who had already experienced beatings in later generations and had watched too many scenes of green tea **** tearing up the honest original partner, she might have really been deceived by her hypocritical appearance.
If the person who came to Jinling at this time was really the silent and cowardly 16-year-old girl from the original body, she must have been eaten by this pair of scumbags and scumbags, with no bones left.
Gee.
This world is really ridiculous.
Good people do not end well, and disasters remain for thousands of years.
Gu Changying twitched the corners of her lips and clenched the paper in her hand. She only felt that what she was experiencing now was really a magical reality drama.
I don't know what she has done. God has to send her to this era of cannibalism to be bullied and teased like this.
Due to the long time of self-pity, Yu Kunyu, who had entered a cavity of enthusiasm without getting the slightest response, was embarrassed.
Gu Changying's behavior of keeping her head down and not speaking finally made Jiang Shi next to her a little unhappy.
He frowned: "I'm talking to you Gu Changying, don't you understand even the most basic etiquette now?"
The man's voice was cold and stern, which instantly reminded Gu Changying of the horror of being hit by the muzzle before, her body trembled slightly, she didn't dare not to look up, and she felt unwilling when she raised her head, so she could only stare at him with red eyes.
Jiang Shi ignored her poking expression.
Gently tapped the thing in her hand with her chin: "What do you think of this for you?"
"What do you think?"
"I said, after you get these things and know that my wife has wasted half a month's work because of your trivial matter, what are your thoughts?"
"..."
The man raised his voice: "Speak, mute?"
"......I am very touched."
Yu Kunyu looked at the two of them inexplicably, wondering what kind of trick they were doing.
As a result, the man snorted softly and said in a lazy tone, "Then write it down."
Gu Changying widened her eyes in astonishment: "Write what?"
"Write how moved you are and how grateful you are. Write down all your gratitude for this matter. Write it as a thank you letter, and the recipient will fill in Yu Kunyu."
"..."
For a moment, Gu Changying suspected that either Jiang Shi was crazy or something was wrong with his ears.
- Yu Kunyu is the same.
"What? You didn't even say a serious thank you to the benefactor who sacrificed himself selflessly to help you?"
Jiang Shi sneered, "Gu Changying, is this what you call great insight and advanced thinking?"
"..."
Yu Kunyu sighed, a little helpless: "Forget it, I didn't help her to listen to her thank you, no need to write, we'll just stay away from each other in the future."
"no."
I don't know why, but Jiang Shi, who has always been obedient to Yu Kunyu, showed a rare determination in this matter.
He frowned coldly: "A person with despicable morals like her regards verbal promises as nothing, and is best at throwing dirty water on people. Who knows if she will slander us in the future? No? A paper certificate, I'm not at ease."
"..."
What does this say?
Hear this wording?
What despicable and dirty water is in turn slandered, is she Gu Changying such a person!
Gu Changying was blown away by Jiang Shi's baseless slander, and the arrogance and sense of superiority of being a descendant of the future also appeared in his heart: "I, Gu Changying, walked right and sat upright, and I have always been with you all the time. If you want to force me to write this ragged thank you letter, you might as well stab me to death!"
Yu Kunyu became more and more helpless.
Sighing and rubbing his brows, he was about to end this unexplained farce, but was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Shi's wave.
He twitched the corners of his lips, squinting and refused her: "Comrade Yu, please go to the study and bring me a box of bullets."
"...what are you going to do?"
"There's only one bullet left in the magazine, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hit once when she runs."
Jiang Shi took out the familiar gun again and swayed it to play, his voice was full of the cruel smile of cat-and-mouse, "Load a few more shots, so as not to die."
"Jiang Shi..."
"Comrade Yu, please."
"..."
Whenever Jiang Shi calls her "comrade", it means that he is really serious about this matter, and is definitely not joking or acting.
There is no room for negotiation.
Yu Kunyu thought for less than three seconds, then immediately turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
Although I don't know why Jiang Shi had to "kill all of them" to Gu Changying, she can still judge the most basic relationship between them.
Between Jiang Shi and Gu Changying, she would definitely not hesitate to choose Jiang Shi.
"Wait a moment!"
Although he took less than two steps, a mournful and desperate female voice suddenly sounded behind him, abruptly preventing Yu Kunyu from continuing to walk forward.
She turned back.
I saw Gu Changying lowered his hand weakly, clenched his hand into a fist, and clenched it tightly, but his tone was very light: "I will write. Can I write?"
Jiang Shi raised his lips and showed a beautiful smile.
......
On the third day after the beginning of spring, the amorous Jinling City began to drizzle again.
Carrying two large suitcases and a package of soft clothes, Gu Changying left this beautiful house in the light wind and drizzle as if fleeing for her life.
If she stayed a little longer, she felt like she was going to suffocate.
Before, she came arrogantly and wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Shi about divorce and alimony.
As a result, she was belittled by the other party in just a few words, and the cold muzzle was slammed on her forehead, and all her passion and outlook were instantly extinguished.
It was from this moment that she realized that she was really taking it for granted.
She has not yet figured out the rules of this era, so she dares to stand up against the natives of this world without fear. Indeed, she can only blame herself for not knowing the current affairs.
However, just when she finally realized that the evil in the world was going to obediently retreat, they refused to let her go easily.
- Gu Changying and Jiang Shi negotiated divorce compensation in less than a quarter of an hour, but it took her a day and a half to write a thank you letter.
According to Jiang Shi, this thank you letter is not purely a "thank you" letter, but a certificate left to prevent her from biting back.
Therefore, in addition to handwriting as physical evidence, there must be a third person as witness.
Jiang Shi is great.
The next day, he invited Ju Wenwen, a famous talented woman from Jinling City.
Gu Changying was stunned when she heard the name "Ju Wenwen" in her ears when she saw that the person was nothing.
Ju Wenwen.
Her ancestral home is Shao’an, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After her father was transferred to teach at Jinling University, the whole family still stayed in Shao’an. Her mother had even given her hope for a marriage, but she insisted on “going out and seeing the world”, so she followed Father came to Jinling.
Ju Wenwen's father was just a small teacher. Later generations commented that his greatest achievement in life was giving birth to such a daughter as Ju Wenwen.
Ju Wenwen is not only beautiful, but also outgoing and generous. He reads law, but he is proficient in English, French, and Japanese, and has translated many works.
She actively promotes women's openness and encourages women to make progress.
Although she never married and never left a son and a half daughter, she left behind a lot of poems and epigrams.
She is a famous poet, translator, thinker, writer, and even the founder of Jinling Women's Journal.
Even after decades have passed, there are still many articles praising her in later generations to write her biography.
Gu Changying is one of her ardent fans.
It can be said that among so many women in the Republic of China, Ju Wenwen is the one she likes to admire the most.
But now Ju Wenwen suddenly appeared alive in front of her, giving her an illusory feeling of being separated from time and space.
Was stunned all afternoon.
Ju Wenwen herself is not as beautiful as the female stars who played her in later films, but her temperament is indeed outstanding and refined.
With fashionable curly hair on his head, wearing a new-style cheongsam and a fringed shawl, he smiled generously and confidently.
It looks different from the people around you.
She was pulled over by Jiang Shi in a hurry.
After arriving at the Jiang residence, I listened to Yu Kunyu's narration of the entire incident, and then happily expressed that he was willing to be a witness to their divorce.
Gu Changying is not very good at writing.
...No, nor can it be said that she is not very good at writing.
After all, if you really want to count the level of knowledge seriously, Gu Changying may be higher than any of them.
No matter what, she is a person who has experienced the era of the information explosion. If she wants to know anything, she can find it by searching the Internet. Moreover, she is an upright graduate of a first-class college, and the gold content of her diploma is not low.
It's just that she learns English, and the traditional characters are limited to being able to understand, and the most common ones can be written a few.
The rest, in the eyes of Ju Wenwen and others, are simply not good enough to lack arms and legs.
So in the end, it was Ju Wenwen who first drew up a draft based on Gu Changying's stammering words, and then Gu Changying copied the draft again.
It's more trouble than signing a contract with a foreigner.
However, since this letter was drafted by Ju Wenwen, the wording is naturally much more decent.
Jiang Shi was very satisfied after reading it, he waved his hand and motioned to Gu Changying: "You can get out."
Gu Changying doesn't care about his politeness or rudeness, and he wishes to get permission to leave this devil's den early.
So he didn't even pack his luggage, he went out the door with a few boxes in a mess, his face still filled with the happiness of the rest of his life.
It's just that she didn't go far, standing quietly under the eaves at the corner of the alley, enduring the cold rain that was swept by the wind from time to time, without moving.
She was waiting for her idol to come out of that house.
Gu Changying really admires Ju Wenwen.
She wanted to express her admiration and love to her.
I would like to ask those questions that I have been very curious about in my previous life.
At the same time, she also wanted to ask:
"Why do you, such a fairy, make friends with people like Jiang Shi and Yu Kunyu?"
- Sure enough, when he heard this question, he was as smooth and thoughtful as Ju Wenwen, and it was rare for him to be stunned for a moment.
"People like Jiang Shi and Yu Kunyu... what kind of people are they?"
"That's right," Gu Changying paused, thinking about how to make it less hurtful, "you encourage openness, pursue progress, and hope that everyone can treat women in the whole society equally, whether it's the old style or the new style. But... .. Jiang Shi, they are completely opposite to your thoughts."
Ju Wenwen is a little funny: "That should be because you have misunderstood him, although my relationship with Jiang Shi is not very good, but in encouraging openness, pursuing progress and treating women with peace, I am sure that I am with him. The point of view is the same."
"...I think you should not only listen to what he says, but also how he does it."
"Do? Isn't he doing well?"
Ju Wenwen frowned and didn't understand why the girl said these little things in front of her, "Look at how happy he was to divorce you, he even helped you go to school and encouraged you to find a new marriage, I think he Well done."
"God, do you think he's doing it right for me?"
Ju Wenwen was taken aback by her suddenly raised voice, and took a few steps back: "What's wrong with you suddenly?"
Gu Changying was still immersed in her own world, and asked anxiously, "Don't you hear what happened? Don't you know that I was a widow in Jiang's house for two years? I almost can't get enough to eat, and I don't have a stove in winter. …”
"It's just that these misunderstandings can't be all blamed on Jiang Shi."
Ju Wenwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, he has now returned your innocent identity, and has concealed this marriage for you, and you can still remarry freely..."
"But I spent two years in Jiang's house, that's two years of my youth!"
"..."
Facing the little girl's righteous indignation, Ju Wenwen was silent for a long time.
After a long time, she slowly said: "So didn't Yu Kunyu compensate you with a lot of money? He also arranged schools and accommodation for you, Miss Gu, listen to my advice, you really can't blame their husband and wife for this. Above all, if Yu Kunyu can achieve such a level, he has done his best. If you still feel that people owe you, then I really can't talk to you. "
Gu Changying did not understand.
She didn't understand at all.
Is it because they didn't experience the loneliness and misery in those two years, so they didn't have the slightest sympathy for what happened to the original body?
Yuanshen stayed behind closed doors in the courtyard of the deep house, eating cold dishes and cold meals with expectation to make clothes and shoes for her "husband", while Jiang Shi was having a romantic relationship with other women outside.
Don't they feel any guilt about it?
"Two years of youth and dedication, in your opinion, can it really be repaid with just a little money?"
Gu Changying lost her soul, "Isn't Gu Changying worthy of an open and above recognition, not worthy of a sincere apology? Is Gu Changying's life so contemptible?"
......
to be frank.
Ju Wenwen had no idea what the girl was thinking.
She has always been outspoken, unable to listen to the other party's sad and confounding words, and said directly: "What about Jiang Shi and Yu Kunyu? Who else is going to apologize to them?"
"What do they have to apologize for?"
"Why don't you think about it, think about it for yourself, Jiang Shiming had warned you in advance, and you promised him that the marriage was over, but in the end, this marriage happened without his knowledge. You and him His elders, in fact, did not respect his freedom, right?"
"..."
"So you see that he has to lose money and land now, and he has to find a school and find a house for you. Is this a disaster? And Yu Kunyu, a good innocent girl who doesn't know anything, suddenly In the family tree of her mother-in-law, she has become Jiang Shi's continuation, so where will she go to talk about her injustice?"
"..."
Ju Wenwen looked at her as sad as resentment, as sad as regret, and with an ignorant expression, and knew that she couldn't make sense for a while.
Once a person believes that he has been wronged, he will try every reason to prove it.
At this time, no matter what others say or how to persuade, it is useless.
Especially for someone like Gu Changying who is very stubborn and loves horns at first sight.
So she didn't talk much, just reached out and patted her shoulder: "Think about it, maybe you'll be able to figure it out when you're older. It's not too early, you should call a car as soon as possible to avoid When you get it, you can't carry your luggage alone."
"Mr. Ju."
Gu Changying suddenly stopped her.
Ju Wenwen laughed: "what kind of gentleman am I..."
"Mr. Ju."
The expression on her face was very serious and calm, "Can I ask you why you like Yu Kunyu?"
"How can you tell that I like Yu Kunyu?"
"...you've been speaking for her just now."
"Speaking for her doesn't necessarily mean liking her. After all, we are enemies from high school to college."
Ju Wenwen frowned and sighed again, "However, if I have to say it, I actually admire her."
"......admire?"
"Um."
Ju Wenwen paused and seemed to be recalling, "When I first started college, a group of our students acted as volunteers and sent supplies to the front line, but unfortunately met the Japanese army on the road... What happened to me in the middle? It’s hard to tell you in detail, in short, I still remember that when a dozen Japanese soldiers surrounded her, three guns were pressed against her forehead, and the female classmate hiding beside her was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she laughed out loud. ."
"She said, don't think that we Chinese are afraid of death just because you Japanese are afraid of death. But you will only have a few broken guns and fake tigers, bah!"
Gu Changying raised his head blankly.
Thinking that the other party knew something was mocking her.
Then the expression on the other side's face did not contain any hostility: "In short, since that time I knew that no matter how much I hated her, I could trust her."
"Because people like her will always be compatriots instead of traitors."
