Chapter 336 Sowing Discord

well

Gu Yihan lay on the sofa, her arms as a pillow and her legs crossed.

His gaze was unfocused as he stared at the warm yellow light bulb above him.

I used to envy people who could sleep until they naturally woke up every day, lie flat until their legs cramped, eat when they were hungry, and drink when they were thirsty—a life of leisure.

Why do I feel like I'm about to become depressed when it comes to her?

Imagine her having finished breakfast, and now she's all alone at home, staring at the quiet, empty house.

Even a loud fart has an echo.

The silence was terrifying.

She tried to find something to do, only to discover something new while she was doing it.

She has absolutely no self-control.

She would get distracted while reading, and the radio was full of revolutionary model operas, quotations from leaders, and revolutionary songs. She was tired of hearing the same thing every day.

I really want to find a job to pass the time, even if it's just to be in a place where there are people, not to talk, just to watch them, that would be nice.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The knocking interrupted Gu Yihan's thoughts. She immediately got up and quickly walked to the door.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by Li Yajing, who is wearing a yellow woolen coat.

"Hi, Xiaohan, are you happy to see me? Aren't you excited?"

Li Yaqing's gaze fell on the stunned Gu Yihan, and she waved with a smile.

Gu Yihan snapped out of her daze, stepped forward and took her arm, smiling broadly: "I'm so happy, I'm so happy."

"Sister Ya Jing, you don't know, I'm practically growing mold from staying at home all the time."

Li Yajing followed Gu Yihan into the house, sat on the sofa, and looked up to see her happily making honey water.

Unable to hold back her laughter, she teased, "What? Your partner can support you and you don't have to work, and you're still not happy!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glared at her irritably and complained, "It has nothing to do with whether or not you can afford to raise them."

"I just can't stay idle. I've been at home for so long, I'm so lethargic."

After saying that, he handed the honey water to Li Yajing and sat down next to her.

Li Yaqing took the water and chuckled lightly, "You're really not destined to enjoy life."

Gu Yihan waved her hand and complained, "You don't know, for the first month or two, I didn't feel anything."

"After being idle at home for more than three months, I felt restless and incredibly bored."

"Even more recently, I get angry easily, and I'm starting to lose control of my temper."

Li Yaqing stared at Gu Yihan beside her in surprise. She had just thought that the other party was joking on purpose.

"When you're bored, you can go out and visit other people's homes."

Gu Yihan shook her head: "Most of the military wives here have jobs."

"The few who are unemployed are very busy, either doing housework, laundry, or cooking."

After thinking about it, Li Yaqing felt that Gu Yihan was right and suggested that she stay at home for a long time instead of going to work.

No one's saying anything yet, I'm going crazy with frustration.

"By the way, Xiaohan, there's something I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

Li Yaqing didn't rush to say anything, but instead reached out and held Gu Yihan's hand.

He whispered, "Xiao Han, as you know, when I was in Kuncheng, I lived in Hu Shan's old house."

Gu Yihan nodded and said, "I know, did something happen to Hu Shan?"

Li Yaqing shook her head, opened her mouth, unsure whether she should tell Grandma Gu about her family's situation.

She didn't want to tell anyone, since she and Gu Yihan were friends and she didn't want her to be deceived by her family.

If I tell her, I'm worried she'll suspect my motives and think I'm trying to sow discord between them.

Seeing Li Yaqing's hesitant expression, Gu Yihan guessed that what she wanted to say was probably related to her.

After thinking about it, the only person he was related to in the tenement was Grandma Gu.

Then, with a tentative tone, she asked, "Sister Ya Jing, is this about my grandmother's family?"

Li Yaqing sighed and nodded: "Xiaohan, stop sending money to your grandma every month. She doesn't deserve your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused for a moment, then asked, "Did my grandmother do something?"

"Xiao Han, it's not that I'm trying to sow discord, it's just that your grandma is too... taking you for a fool."

Li Yajing paused for a moment, thinking of how Grandma Gu boasted every day in the courtyard about how much Qin Shou and Gu Meng pleased her.

They kept silent about how all the food and drinks they ate and drank were mailed to them by Gu Yihan.

"She used the living expenses you sent to bribe the person who sent Gu Meng to the farm to release her ahead of schedule."

"What? Gu Meng has been released?" Gu Yihan was shocked.

Li Yajing nodded indignantly and said, "Your grandma said that Gu Meng didn't hit her or hurt her at all."

"It's all because you made a mountain out of a molehill that others misunderstood and thought Gu Meng hit her."

"Did others believe it?"

"The people in the courtyard all witnessed my grandmother being sent to the military hospital."

Li Yaqing glanced at Gu Yihan.

He said slowly, "Your grandma is in great health now, and she has a good appetite, which proves that she wasn't abused by Gu Meng."

Gu Yihan laughed in exasperation upon hearing this.

Grandma Gu was almost killed by Gu Meng's bullying back then, if it weren't for the water in her spatial dimension.

She doesn't even know if she'll still be alive today.

Now, it's become evidence that she saved Gu Meng.

Li Yaqing cautiously observed Gu Yihan's ambiguous smile.

She was incredibly conflicted, unsure whether she was angry at Grandma Gu or at herself for sowing discord.

She didn't want to get involved at first, but later she heard that Gu Meng was sent there by Gu Yihan herself.

Doesn't this prove that Gu Yihan and Gu Meng don't get along?

Now that she's back and spending the money Gu Yihan gave her, as her friend, of course I'm on her side.

She doesn't want people who are at odds with her to leech off her.

"Xiao Han, are you angry?"

Gu Yihan looked up at Li Yaqing, gently tugged at the corner of her mouth, and smiled, "Sister Yaqing, I'm not angry."

Upon hearing this, Li Yaqing relaxed and said with a smile, "I was worried you would blame me for meddling."

Gu Yihan tightened her grip on her hand.

She shook her head with a smile and said, "Sister Ya Jing, I'm so grateful to you, how could I possibly blame you for meddling?"

She is telling the truth.

If Li Yaqing hadn't told her, she would never have known that Grandma Gu was using the money she gave her to act as a savior.

"By the way, Sister Ya Jing, did you come here to ask about getting a marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Li Yajing nodded shyly.

Gu Yihan smiled and said, "Lu Huailin said that you should just let him know whenever you need anything."

"He had already spoken to the women's director of the unit in advance."

Li Yaqing hugged Gu Yihan excitedly and thanked her repeatedly, "Xiaohan, thank you."

Gu Yihan patted her on the back and whispered, "Of course, we've been friends for seven or eight years."
