Disheartened, the family of five found themselves shut out of their former home; new occupants resided there. With no choice but to retreat, they located a secluded spot devoid of surveillance cameras and entered Mother G.o.d’s inters.p.a.ce for a night’s rest.
The following day, Mother G.o.d took Guoguo and the other two children to a hair salon for a makeover and a shopping spree. Their priority was acquiring modern clothing; adapting to this new world was crucial.
Meanwhile, the Yaoshan Divine Doctor sought out an internet cafe. Here, he hacked into the household registration system and created legitimate ident.i.ties for his family. He then ventured to the household registration office to procure official identification cards.
By afternoon, armed with their household registration certificates, he managed to rent a small villa. When Mother G.o.d rushed over to settle the rent, a jolt of realization struck her as 50,000 yuan had already been spent.
The next day, faced with financial constraints, she had no choice but to visit a traditional medicine shop. There, she reluctantly sold a seventy- to eightyyear-old ginseng root for 800,000 yuan.
With this temporary house secured, the family began to settle in.
That evening, after dinner, the Yaoshan Divine Doctor addressed the three children with a serious tone. “Coming back wasn’t easy. Don’t waste time solely on playing. Consider your interests and find something you’d like to learn. We didn’t return here for nothing.”
“But Father, you haven’t shown us the planes and tanks yet!” Chenchen interjected.
“There’s no rush,” he a.s.sured him. “You can see those at the military museum.”
Guoguo, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity, voiced her aspirations. “I want to learn medicine! You mentioned people here can even perform heart transplants. That’s what I want to learn!”
Chenchen, captivated by the concept of automobiles, piped up, “I want to learn how to make cars! They seem pretty cool. Maybe if I learn how, I can build one when we go back.”
Third Fatty, not wanting to be left out, chimed in, “Then I’ll learn how to make machinery. It would be more useful when we return.”
The Yaoshan Divine Doctor nodded in approval. “Alright, then. From tomorrow onward, you three will report to the library every day. Try to memorize the basics as quickly as possible. I’ll then find a way to connect you with suitable teachers.”
A hint of worry flickered across Third Fatty’s face. “What about you guys? You won’t just abandon us and go play by yourselves, will you?”
“Of course not. Besides, we have some things we need to take care of. Once we’re finished, we’ll take you out for some fun.”
True to their word, the following days saw the three children diligently reporting to the library. Unexpectedly, Chenchen stumbled upon a stroke of luck. While not exactly a car manufacturer, he encountered a seasoned mechanic with impressive engine repair skills—a valuable mentor!
Meanwhile, Mother G.o.d and the Yaoshan Divine Doctor embarked on a visit to Food City, a project they had personally established. To their dismay, they discovered that a mere two years had seen a leadership change. Their successor in this life, lacking the necessary competence to manage Food City, had ultimately resorted to selling it.
Intrigued, they delved deeper, uncovering the truth behind their past accident. Evidently, it wasn’t a random event. Someone, captivated by Food City’s potential, sought to acquire it by force. They hired an accomplice to orchestrate the car crash.
As they diligently gathered evidence, they stumbled upon another individual on the same mission—the very truck driver responsible for their accident! He, too, had narrowly escaped silencing and was now actively collecting evidence for a lawsuit against the mastermind.
Mother G.o.d and the Yaoshan Divine Doctor exchanged a silent glance, opting to maintain a neutral stance. Instead, they discreetly a.s.sisted him, aiding in evidence collection and providing necessary protection. With their support, the driver displayed remarkable efficiency. A comprehensive case was a.s.sembled and presented in court in less than half a month.
At the trial, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, along with Gu Chengrui’s younger brother, Gu Chengjun, received the court summons. Mother G.o.d and the Yaoshan Divine Doctor, present in the courtroom, watched in quiet contemplation as their eyes met those of the aged couple.
The pa.s.sage of time had etched its mark on Mr. and Mrs. Gu, particularly Mrs. Gu, whose frailty was evident.
As for Gu Chengjun, he looked much more mature and steady, protecting the two elders tightly.
