At night, the house was lifeless, and Gu Fulan lay in the house and never came out.
Duan Mingcheng couldn't wait any longer, "Brothers and sisters, if there is no news tomorrow morning, let's go to Chen City to look for him."
Lu Yao sat dumbly on the stool and said nothing.
Gu Miaomiao looked at her devastated look and thought to herself that she was stupid, right?
Gu Miaomiao spoke slowly, "I think Duan Mingjie is probably in danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, three eyes in the room shot towards her.
Gu Miaomiao was so frightened that she forced herself to calm down, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but we have to accept the facts as soon as possible. There is no need to spend money and effort on impossible things."
Lu Yao stood up suddenly and looked at her coldly, "What facts do you accept?"
Gu Miaomiao opened her mouth and heard Lu Yao say, "I'll say it again, Duan Mingjie is very nice, don't force me to slap you!"
Gu Miaomiao laughed angrily, Lu Yao just deceived herself, Duan Mingjie couldn't come back anyway!
"Since you are unwilling to listen to the truth, I will go back!"
As soon as Gu Miaomiao left, Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingcheng and said in a cold voice, "Second brother, why don't you go and see her off?"
Duan Mingcheng sighed, "I'll go and see you off. I'll be back soon."
Looking at the disappearing figures one after another, Lu Yao narrowed her eyes into a straight line.
Duan Mingcheng quickly caught up with Gu Miaomiao.
Gu Miaomiao suddenly turned around, Duan Mingcheng's steps were quick, and before he could brake in time, Gu Miaomiao got into his arms.
In the darkness, Gu Miaomiao curled her lips and reached out to hug Duan Mingcheng's waist.
Feeling Duan Mingcheng stiffen, Gu Miaomiao smiled proudly.
"Mingcheng, I didn't mean to say that. I just hope you can recognize the facts."
With that said, Gu Miaomiao hugged her tighter.
Duan Mingcheng was a little distracted by the fragrance emanating from her body, but when he thought about his brother whose life or death was uncertain, and when Gu Miaomiao said just now that finding his brother would be a waste of money and effort, all those charming thoughts disappeared instantly.
He pushed Gu Miaomiao away and said in a bad tone, "Don't go to my house until my third brother's matter is resolved."
Hearing this, Gu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, "Duan Mingcheng, what do you mean?"
Duan Mingcheng took a step back, "My eldest brother died without a complete body. I only have one brother left. He wants to see people alive and his body after death. No matter how much money it costs or how much energy I waste, I will do it. You just said In that case, you are not only stabbing your brother and sister in the heart, but you are also hurting me."
Gu Miaomiao suddenly laughed. She pointed at herself and asked coldly, "What about me, Duan Mingcheng, have you forgotten that we are getting married soon?"
Duan Mingcheng's Adam's apple rolled down and he struggled to speak, "I have not forgotten that as long as you are willing, I will marry you."
Gu Miaomiao was so funny, "Why are you marrying me? What do you have?"
Under the white moonlight, Duan Mingcheng clearly saw the disgust in Gu Miaomiao's eyes.
He clenched his hands and thought of his bedridden mother at home. He suppressed his emotions and said, "I will work hard to make money in the future so that you can live a good life."
Gu Miaomiao snorted, "Will there be good days? Duan Mingjie is the only one who can make money in your family. Now there is no news about him. You know in your heart that he is very likely to be dead. So, what are you going to marry me for?" That house that looks useless?"
No matter how nice the house is, what's the use? Can she eat when she's hungry? Can it stop her from working in the fields?
Duan Mingcheng endured it with all his strength.
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Miaomiao thought that he was reluctant to let her go, so she said, "If you want to get married, it's fine. Give your sister's teaching position to me! When I become a teacher, we will get married."
Marriage was impossible. As soon as she became a teacher, she would kick Duan Mingcheng away.
Duan Mingcheng couldn't bear it any longer, lowered his head and smiled, "So, you are still interested in our family's money instead of me?"
Gu Miaomiao: "Duan Mingcheng, I am an educated youth from the city. You are a divorced idiot. How can you get the face to ask me to marry you?"
Duan Mingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, so be it."
After saying that, Duan Mingcheng turned around and left decisively.
Gu Miaomiao panicked instantly.
"Duan Mingcheng, stop!"
Duan Mingcheng stopped but did not turn around, "Gu Zhiqing, you are right, I am not worthy of you. I still want to find my brother. I also have nephews and nieces to take care of, so I won't burden you."
Gu Miaomiao walked up to him in a few steps, "I just want Duan Mingming's teaching position!"
Duan Mingcheng laughed at himself, "Lu Zhiqing spent a lot of effort to fight for my sister's qualification to teach. Even if I give it up, it will be given to Lu Zhiqing, not you. Of the three of us brothers, I am the one who has no responsibility. If I sacrifice my sister's job for my own sake, decades later I will be underground, unable to face my elder brother, and even more sorry for my father."
Everyone in the family knows what teaching means to Duan Mingming.
He couldn't take away the only chance to change his sister's fate for himself.
After saying that, Duan Mingcheng strode away regardless of Gu Miaomiao's yelling and abuse behind him.
When Duan Mingcheng returned, Lu Yao and Duan Mingming were waiting for him in the yard.
Duan Mingcheng took off his shoes and placed them on the ground. Duan Mingcheng sat on them and said, "I will not marry Gu Miaomiao."
After he finished speaking, Lu Yao and Duan Mingming looked at him at the same time.
Duan Mingming opened his mouth, "Second brother, you, are you serious?"
Duan Mingcheng scratched his hair and hummed.
Duan Mingming stood up excitedly, "You finally know that she is nothing! Isn't she unwilling to let you find the third brother?"
Duan Mingcheng did not answer, but looked at Lu Yao, "Brother and sister, if, I mean if, I am the one who gets into trouble today, are you willing to let the third child leave you to look for me?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Yao's answer, Duan Mingcheng smiled mockingly, "You will definitely agree."
He asked this, which was actually an insult to Lu Yao.
In the moonlit courtyard, Lu Yao's voice reached Duan Mingcheng's ears, "You are Duan Mingjie's only brother. I don't want him to help you with small things because I think he can't help you forever. But if something really big happens, I won’t let him take care of you.”
Although she had objections to Duan Mingcheng before, she had to admit that Duan Mingcheng had changed a lot recently.
Duan Mingcheng lowered his head in shame.
"I will go out to find the third child tomorrow. Don't talk to my mother about the matter between Gu Miaomiao and me for the time being."
Hearing this, Lu Yao sneered, "I'm afraid Gu Miaomiao can run faster than you."
Duan Mingcheng suddenly looked towards her.
"Second brother, you have never really understood your partner. She is a person who kills without blood. Tomorrow, I'm afraid the whole village will know that you gave up on her in order to find Duan Mingjie."
Duan Mingcheng frowned, "No way?"
"You can try."
Lu Yao stood up and said, "Since the second brother has decided not to marry Gu Miaomiao, it is best to stay at home. I will go find him tomorrow. I am familiar with the place in Chen City."
After saying that, Lu Yao went back to the house. Before returning to the house, she turned around and reminded Duan Mingcheng, "Second brother had better think about how to deal with Gu Miaomiao tomorrow."
Shortly after returning to the house, Lu Yao heard brother and sister Duan Mingcheng entering the house.
Lu Yao waited for another half hour, making sure that no one would come out, and went out with a flashlight and knife.
