Chapter 320: Last Hope: Escape (2)

Although the Wang family was chased out, they could keep their furniture and fixtures which were moved here.

That old chest of Gu Ruoqing was in that small room now.

She rushed over to open the chest and removed the layers, where she finally found the money and coupons that she hid under a loose board.

Fortunately, the Wang family did not find out about this crack and the chest was not thrown away so her belongings were still there.

In addition to this money, she also brought all of Wang Mazi’s money and some food when she escaped. Wang Mazi had been living aimlessly outside for a long time and still had some family property. At the thought of the objects that she possessed, confidence rose in her.

She hurriedly packed a few clothes and went to Wang Guozhu’s room to take all the valuable items.

Wang Guozhu still had some spare cash at home as well as some clothes and shoes. He worked in the factory and was concerned about his reputation, thus there were still two sets of clothes from when he wore during his time as the director which he did not sell. Gu Ruoqing packed these as well.

Seeing what her daughter did, Zhang Xiaohui also went to pack her clothes as well.

Afterward, Gu Ruoqing ran to the kitchen, packed all the food and brought it with her.

The mother and daughter acted extremely swiftly. In less than half an hour, they looted the entire house of anything that could be sold for money, including clothes that were in slightly better condition and not patched up.

Zhang Xiaohui’s target destination was the North, so she took a deserted route to the North with Gu Ruoqing.

They did not have any recommendation letter nor money to take the train, so they could only go there on foot.

It was already two days later when Gu Qingyao heard this news.

She was dumbstruck!

Damn!

Amazing!

They still could escape in this era?

They had no food nor job and would not be able to find a job either as an outsider. Without a recommendation letter, they would have no proof of identity. If they fled just like that and no one raised them, the only outcome would be death.

Thinking about the Wang family’s current situation, the only option seemed to be escaping if Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing did not wish to be completely ruined. But for some reason, why did she find that something was off?

Zhang Xiaohui was extremely arrogant on the outside but she was just a countryside woman – she had no experience, never studied and knew nothing about the world.

Perhaps she would lead a miserable life in the Wang family but everything was unknown once she left. It was common knowledge that those who fled their homes would not have an easy life outside, thus according to common logic, people would still choose to stay at home even if it meant a more difficult life.

After all, it was an environment that she was familiar with and she would have the bare sense of security.

As a woman with a daughter, where could she flee to?

Without any objective nor hope, Gu Qingyao believed that Zhang Xiaohui would not escape so straightforwardly.

What happened exactly?

However, despite her confusion, she never heard any news about Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Qingyao in the month after the incident.

It was as though the two people vanished into thin air. It seemed like they really escaped!

The Zhang family and Wang family fought for a long time. The Zhang family even went to the Wangs to ask for Zhang Xiaohui but in reality, they just wanted compensation. Gu Qingyao did not bother with these dramas but told Gu Yunshen to be careful and not let the Gu family be implicated.

Gu Yunshen knew too.

Gu Qingyao did not receive news about Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing but instead, heard that her second uncle’s family received a promotion.
