Chapter 8: The House On The Island Has Collapsed!

Start from the beginning
                                    

Looking at these comments attacking Gu Ling, the corner of Gu Ya's mouth reveals a satisfied smile. While she could currently see the live footage from Gu Ling's side, the readers see textual narrative she conceived. In her text description, Gu Ling is supporting female character who oppresses her stepmother and stepsister. The reason why Gu Ling went to the island as an educated youth is because Yu Mingxin found out about Gu Ling's true nature of viciousness and refused to be betrothed to Gu Ling. Gu Ling was furious, stole the family's money, and ran to the island. 

However, Gu Ya's portrayal of Gu Ling only had her stealing a hundred yuan, but when she calculated it now, Gu Ling had taken more than a thousand yuan!

Thinking about all this made Gu Ya's teeth itch with hatred. Thinking about this, Gu Ya was filled with rage. She suddenly had the idea to click the edit button and decided to make the chapter where Gu Ling goes to the island even more tragic!

Yet, when Gu Ya clicked the button to edit the chapter's content, a prompt appeared: 〚Green River System reminds you that editing once requires two Moonstones and can only modify one plot point! 〛

Gu Ya froze. "Moonstone? What's a Moonstone?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't find any description about moonstones. After hesitating for a while, she still clicked the button to change an insignificant content in this chapter to〚Gu Ling was walking and suddenly tripped and fell straight down, blood flowing from her mouth, looking extremely ugly and ridiculous! 〛

After changing it, Gu Ya laughed with satisfaction, but as she was smiling, someone slapped her!

She sat up in shock and covered her face. She had a sleepless night, and her eyes were swollen and her head was aching. She looked at the person in front of her, "Dad! What are you hitting me for?"

Gu Changjian, who had been drinking all night, pointed at Gu Ya and cursed, "You bastard! Did you write that denunciation letter? That day, when Xiao Wen came to deliver money and talked to me, you were the one who was by the window! Say! Was it you?"

The loss of his job was tantamount to killing Gu Changjian! He didn't have strong feelings for Gu Ya, just slightly better than Gu Ling. However, now that he was drunk and upset about his job, so the slap he gave Gu Ya came down hard!

Gu Ya's face was hot and painful. She couldn't help but break down: "You've wronged me! When did I report you? How can you blame me for losing your job!"

Gu Changjian was furious: "If I don't blame you, who do I blame? If it wasn't for you and your unreliable mom, I wouldn't have lost my job! And now my reputation is completely ruined! Who wouldn't laugh at me? I did it all for the sake of you three, all for you! I lost everything overnight!"

Gu Ya was annoyed and jumped up to scold Gu Changjian, "Enough! You did it for yourself! If you really cared about my mom, why did you separate from her and marry Yang Shan in the first place? You coveted the connections and money of the city people but you didn't want to act submissive in front of them! So you regretted it and you married my mom again! Did you ever ask me when I lived in the countryside? I only came to the city when Gu Ling was wearing beautiful dresses and fancy hairpins while I was covered in patches! Do you remember that? Do you know how aggravated I was with my mom?!"

Her words made Gu Changjian even angrier. "That's because your mom slept around! She lied to me, saying she never slept with Chen Dazhu. Ha! And now you dare talk back to me. I'm starting to wonder if you're that Chen Dazhu's seed!"

Gu Ya's temper itself was fiery, and she couldn't help but scold, "Yes, I'm Chen Dazhu's seed! Otherwise, why would I have lived at his place for years when you visited me only a few times?"

Sun Xiulan rushed in from the side and couldn't contain herself. She slapped the other side of Gu Ya's face. "Shut up!"

Gu Ya was hit so hard that she fell and sat down on the bed. Gu Changjian was pulled out by Sun Xiulan while Gu Ya felt her brain buzzing. It hurt so much, she felt like she was going to explode!

A slap on each side of her face—could this be two Moonstones?

She gritted her teeth, this fucking moonstone cost too much. Can this broken feature be canceled! 

Meanwhile, it was already eight in the morning, and Gu Ling's educated youth team had finally stiffly reached the island.

The sunshine was brilliant, and the seawater washed ashore in waves, adorned with colorful seashells. The air was incredibly fresh, and the boundless sea glistened like a fairytale under the sunlight, radiating golden brilliance. Everyone's gloomy mood instantly changed for the better.

Gu Ling was the happiest, her beautiful eyes filled with joy. She remembered her mom mentioning the sea when she was very young.

Mom always said that the sea was the most beautiful place, and if possible, one day she'd take the cutest Ling Ling to live an isolated life on an island.

To create their own Peach Blossom Island, free from worldly troubles, untouched by anyone's schemes, with days that were both slow and joyful.

Gu Ling's eyes moistened and she gently called out in her heart, "Mom, I'm here. I've come to this island, the one you've been longing for."

Only Peng Xiaoyue, who wasn't happy for long, shouted, "This is exhausting! Can't we first find a place to settle down? There will be many more days to enjoy the sea!"

This is true; there will be many more days to enjoy the sea. They had been bouncing around on the road for so long that their bodies felt like they were falling apart. Finding a place to stay was a priority!

Li Haixia took out the island's map, which was quite rudimentary and required the use of a compass. After another half-hour of walking, they finally found the place where the educated youth lived.

The previous group of educated youth had already left for various reasons, and the houses they left behind were temporary constructions by the previous stationed troops. Peng Xiaoyue couldn't help but mutter, "The house is so run-down, and there are only two rooms. How are we going to sleep? Is it for men in one room and women in the other?"

Only after her words fell, the house that was so disliked suddenly collapsed with a rumble, leaving everyone stunned.
