B5SB -Chapter 309 Intercepted at the Train Station

Textile Factory Accounting Office

Gu Yihan rested her chin in her hands, thinking about who she should sell her job to.

She thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with any good idea. Mainly, her social circle was too small.

Whenever something suddenly came up, she didn’t even know who to turn to.

“Xiao Han, what’s wrong?” Hu Shan asked worriedly.

Gu Yihan supported her chin with one hand and glanced at Hu Shan.

After sighing, she said, “Sister Shan, I’m leaving Kuncheng.”

“What?”

Hu Shan thought she had misheard and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re leaving Kuncheng?”

After thinking for a moment, she asked anxiously, “Are you… not coming back anymore?”

Zhang Limin and Wang Guixiang also looked at Gu Yihan at the same time, waiting for her answer.

Gu Yihan knew they would find out sooner or later, so she didn’t hide it.

She nodded. “I probably won’t be coming back.”

Hu Shan’s mood instantly dropped. With a wronged expression, she said, “Xiao Han, if you leave, what about me? You’re my only friend in Kuncheng. If you go, I’ll be all alone.”

Hearing this, Gu Yihan couldn’t help laughing.

“It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. We can write letters, make phone calls, or you can come to Beijing to see me. When that happens, I’ll treat you to Peking duck!”

Hu Shan didn’t respond. She knew that once people were far apart, their relationship would gradually fade with distance.

Wang Guixiang looked at Gu Yihan, hesitated, then asked, “Xiao Han, have you found a unit to take over your position yet?”

Gu Yihan turned to her and thought for a moment. “No.”

Hearing this, Wang Guixiang became excited. She stood up suddenly and paced around twice.

Then she hurried to Gu Yihan’s side and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Han, can you sell your job to me?”

“I’ll give you money—900 yuan. No… I’ll give you 1,000 yuan.”

Hu Shan rolled her eyes at Wang Guixiang.

This was a job position. Xiao Han wasn’t short of money. How could she possibly sell it for just 1,000 yuan?

Gu Yihan looked at Wang Guixiang in confusion. “Sister Guixiang, don’t you already have a job?”

Wang Guixiang tried hard to calm herself and said, “It’s for my younger brother. He’ll graduate in two months. If he doesn’t get a job, he’ll have to go to the countryside. So I want to buy your position for him.”

“Even if Xiao Han sells it to you, your brother still can’t come work here,” Hu Shan said.

Gu Yihan nodded. “Yes, the factory won’t allow siblings to both work in the accounting office.”

Wang Guixiang waved her hands quickly. “No, no… he won’t do accounting. The position can be transferred to another department.”

Gu Yihan thought for a moment. Seeing Wang Guixiang’s nervous expression, she smiled.

“Alright. I’ll sell it to you.”

Hearing this, Wang Guixiang excitedly grabbed Gu Yihan’s arm. Tears almost burst out as she thanked her repeatedly.

After selling her job, Gu Yihan spent two days packing at home.

Looking at the seven or eight big bundles in the living room, she sighed to herself.

“Luckily, I’ve been working every day these past few years and didn’t have time to buy random stuff.”

“Otherwise, just mailing everything would cost a fortune.”

“Xiao Han, I heard from my cousin that you’re also going to Beijing?”

Hearing Li Yajing’s voice, Gu Yihan walked out and smiled.

“Sister Yajing, how do you have time to come to the family compound today?”

Li Yajing smiled and linked arms with her. “As soon as I heard you were going to Beijing, I rushed over.”

Gu Yihan led her into the living room, had her sit on the sofa, and poured her a glass of water.

Then she joked, “Sister Yajing, why don’t you leave your husband in Kuncheng and come with us first?”

Li Yajing glared at her and patted her arm. “Stop teasing. I came to talk to you about something.”

Gu Yihan looked surprised. “What is it?”

Li Yajing sighed. “My job is settled. I’ll be working at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

“You wouldn’t believe it—they have a yearly task of helping people reissue marriage certificates. I haven’t even started working yet, and they’ve already assigned me this task. Isn’t that making things hard for people?”

Gu Yihan was confused. “Wait, I can’t help you with reissuing marriage certificates. When Lu Huailin and I got married, we already registered.”

Li Yajing laughed and explained, “I mean you should ask your husband to help me check on those rough guys under his command. Anyone who got married without registering should hurry up and make it official.”

Gu Yihan was stunned. “They’re military marriages. How could they not register? How did they pass the political review?”

Li Yajing looked at her like she’d never seen the world.

“It’s very normal for them not to register. As long as the partner passes the background check, the army doesn’t really care whether they get the certificate or not.”

After hearing this, Gu Yihan thought for a while and felt that having a marriage certificate was a good thing for military wives.

She nodded. “Alright, I’ll ask Lu Huailin. I’ll reply once I have news.”

Li Yajing smiled. “I knew coming to you was the right choice.”

She stood up, glanced at the big bundles, and said with a smile, “You’re so busy, I won’t disturb you.”

“See you in Beijing.”

Gu Yihan glanced at her “use-and-discard” friend and laughed. “Alright.”

At the Train Station

As soon as Gu Yihan arrived at the station, a figure suddenly rushed out and startled her.

When she saw who it was, she exclaimed in surprise, “Grandma? Why are you here?”

Grandma Gu was carrying a small bundle. Tears instantly streamed down her face.

Crying loudly, she said, “Xiao Han, you can’t leave Grandma alone in Kuncheng! I don’t have any other relatives here. If even you leave, what’s the point of me living?”

At this moment, Lu Huailin walked over with Haohao in his arms. He narrowed his eyes at Grandma Gu.

Coldly, he asked, “Who told you we were leaving today?”

Seeing Haohao in his arms, Grandma Gu cried even more pitifully. She felt that their whole family were ungrateful ingrates.

She had traveled so far to help raise Haohao, and now they wanted to sneak away quietly.

No way!

“Grandma, how did you know we were going to Beijing?” Gu Yihan asked in confusion.

They hadn’t told anyone about leaving today. How did she know?

Grandma Gu wiped her tears and choked out, “I went to the textile factory to look for you. They said you no longer worked there. So I asked Secretary Chang next door. He said you were going to Beijing. I’ve been waiting for you at the train station for several days. You can’t abandon Grandma!”
