Chapter 133 Lu Huailin Returns

Textile Factory Accounting Office

Gu Yihan arrived at the office door earlier than usual today.

Before I could even open the office door, I heard Su Yonghong arguing with Sister Min.

inside the house

Su Yonghong stared at Sister Min with bloodshot eyes.

She shouted in a hoarse voice, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

Minjie was also feeling wronged, pointing to her slapped face: "You said I was meddling in other people's business?"

"If it weren't for you, would my face have been slapped like this?"

Su Yonghong turned her face away, avoiding looking at Min Jie's face, and said, "I didn't ask you to come to my house."

Minjie suddenly lost her temper and slammed her hand on the table.

He roared, "If I hadn't gone to your house, you wouldn't know what kind of beating that beast would have given you!"

Su Yonghong bypassed Sister Min and returned to his seat, remaining silent.

Looking at Su Yonghong's pathetic state, Minjie said indignantly, "Look at how you can't even stand up straight."

“Your family clearly has the money to buy Zhang Xia a job, but just because she is a girl, and you’re afraid of losing money, you send her to the countryside.”

"You're pretending to care for her now, where were you before?"

Min felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of the way Zhang Xia looked when she saw her at Su Yonghong's house.

The obedient child who grew up in our eyes was ruined by her parents' ignorance.

Growing angrier by the thought, he stood up, walked over to Su Yonghong, and kicked her table hard.

Minjie glared at Su Yonghong and said fiercely, "You even asked Gu Yihan to find a suitable candidate for your daughter."

"Are you kidding me? With your man's character, whoever becomes his son-in-law is doomed."

Su Yonghong jumped up and growled, "Stop talking, Xiao Han will be here soon."

Minjie looked at her with exasperation and said, "You're scared now."

"You're only talking about your daughter, asking them to find a suitable candidate for you?"

Why don't you just say that your man is a scoundrel?

Su Yonghong stared intently at Sister Min, biting her lip, unable to utter a single word.

Minjie glanced at her expression, snorted coldly, returned to her seat, and said nothing more.

After listening carefully for a while, Gu Yihan heard no more arguing and the room quieted down.

After waiting for a while, she finally pushed the door open and went in.

He casually returned to his seat, took out his ledger, and began doing the accounting.

Before long, Gu Yihan couldn't help but glance at Min Jie's face out of the corner of her eye; her left cheek was covered in bruises.

However, there was no sign of being beaten on Su Yonghong's face.

Looking at Su Yonghong's clean face, Gu Yihan wondered if she had misheard at the door.

As for what Sister Min said about Su Yonghong concealing the fact that his lover was of bad character.

Now that she knows, she understands and doesn't need to worry so much. She can just pretend that there was no matchmaking at all.

...

In the days that followed, whenever she had time, Gu Yihan would cook for herself and secretly add space water to Grandma Gu's food.

This also led to Grandma Gu's complexion improving after only a few days, her voice becoming stronger, and her face starting to gain weight.

With Grandma Gu by her side, Gu Yihan didn't feel that time was passing slowly even when Lu Huailin wasn't around.

rest day

Grandma Gu put on her newly made clothes early in the morning and walked out of the courtyard. She had become familiar with many of the old ladies in the family compound these days.

These past few days, Battalion Commander Wen's mother has become quite familiar with Grandma Gu, and the two elderly women seem to have endless things to talk about.

"Sister Gu, you look really smart in that outfit," Battalion Commander Wen's mother praised with a smile.

Grandma Gu said happily, "This is the cloth my granddaughter bought for me; it's a full ten feet long."

Aunt Li and Li Xia were returning from the fields when they happened to pass by the two women and overheard Grandma Gu's words.

He snorted coldly

Grandma Gu and Battalion Commander Wen's mother exchanged a glance. She asked in confusion, "Is this a toothache?"

Battalion Commander Wen's mother's eyes flashed, and she shook her head with a smile: "I don't know, maybe she's sick."

Li Xia held her sister-in-law's hand tightly, afraid that her sister-in-law would turn around and start arguing with someone.

She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, my brother said he wants to eat dumplings today."

"Oh! Why didn't you say so sooner?" After saying that, Sister Li quickly ran back.

When Li Xia first arrived at the family compound, her brother told him to keep an eye on her and not let her say anything out of line.

Li family

At the dinner table, Sister-in-law Li muttered, "Old Li, look at Commander Lu's wife, she's even brought her own grandmother over?"

"Who lets their granddaughter support her grandmother? She's treating Commander Lu like he's living with her family. Are all the men in her family dead? Letting..."

As Sister-in-law Li chattered on and on, she didn't notice that Political Commissar Li's expression was growing increasingly grim.

Li Xia also kept her head down, carefully eating her dumplings. She was becoming more and more afraid of her brother.

"Smack!"

Commissar Li slammed his hand on the table in anger, staring coldly at his wife.

"Did they eat your food or drink your water? It's none of your business."

Sister-in-law Li was startled by Political Commissar Li's appearance. She stammered, "I did it for Commander Lu..."

Before he could even utter the word "good," he was interrupted by Political Commissar Li's angry shout.

"Enough! Do you really think others can't see through it? And you're doing this for others' sake."

Political Commissar Li was so angry that he got up, slammed the door, and left.

As she watched her departing figure, Sister Li sat at the dining table, tears streaming down her face, feeling wronged.

In the courtyard

Lu Huailin, covered in dust and carrying his luggage, pushed open the gate to the courtyard.

I saw an old lady cleaning the yard.

He thought he had gone to the wrong place, so he went back outside and glanced at the top of the wooden door. The door number was correct.

Grandma Gu looked at Lu Huailin's actions with suspicion, thinking he had gone to the wrong house, and kindly asked, "Young man, which house are you going to?"

Lu Huailin subconsciously replied, "Go to Gu Yihan's house."

Grandma Gu paused, her hand holding the broom still, and quickly called out, "Are you looking for Xiao Han? She went to a friend's house."

"Why don't you go inside and wait a bit? She'll probably be back soon."

Lu Huailin smiled and nodded to Grandma Gu, saying, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked straight past Grandma Gu into the living room, put his luggage on the floor, and went back to his bedroom to get a clean set of clothes.

She went to the kitchen, quickly boiled some water, took it to the bathroom, and went to wash up.

Lu Huailin didn't dwell on the fact that there was another person in the house. He figured Gu Yihan would tell him once she saw her.

But he smelled terrible and had to wash up quickly before his wife came home.

Grandma Gu stared at Lu Huailin's series of actions, her mouth agape, realizing that this might be her grandson-in-law.

When Gu Yihan returned home, she saw Grandma Gu standing anxiously in the yard.

She asked in confusion, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

When Grandma Gu saw Gu Yihan return, she went to his side as if he were a lifeline and whispered, "My grandson-in-law is back. He's taking a shower in the bathroom."

Gu Yihan said happily, "You're back? That's great!"

Grandma Gu carefully tugged at Gu Yihan's sleeve: "Will my grandson-in-law not like me living here?"

Gu Yihan laughed after seeing Grandma Gu's actions.

She held Grandma Gu's hand and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, he's very happy."

Grandma Gu carefully observed Gu Yihan's expression, and only when she saw that Gu Yihan did she feel relieved.

It seems that the granddaughter should be in charge of this household. If the granddaughter's husband is in charge, she herself cannot cause trouble for Gu Yihan.
