Chapter 44: Forcing Him to Marry in Return of Favor

At night, Xu Hongying went out for a walk.

There was a figure waiting at the intersection early in the morning. When he saw the old lady, he walked over slowly.

"Aunt Hongying, what a coincidence, you're out for a walk too..."

Yang Qiuxia's face was full of smiles. She took a few eager steps forward, her lips as sweet as honey.

Xu Hongying rubbed her aching heart. If she didn't go out for some fresh air, she would be mad to death by her eldest son.

"It's you, Qiuxia." Xu Hongying forced out a dry smile, which was uglier than crying.

"What's wrong? Why are you so sad?"

"It's all because of Shen Sisi!" Xu Hongying said, pulling Yang Qiuxia's hand. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't asked a relative to tell me, I would still be in the dark."

Yang Qiuxia put her hair back and smiled, "I don't know why Captain Gu didn't tell you. It's such a big thing, he made the decision on his own and even found someone... Hey! I don't even want to talk about it."

The old lady seemed to have found a kindred spirit. She sighed and gritted her teeth, "Chengfeng, this kid has been at odds with us since he was a child. Now that he's grown up, he dares to make his own decisions about marriage and even married a slut."

"I heard she even hit you?"

Yang Qiuxia suppressed her grievance and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"You are too weak, that's why she bullies you. Just wait, I'll find an opportunity to deal with her for you and make her apologize to you."

"Don't do that, Aunt Hongying, you don't know. She forced me to write an apology letter that day. She can sue me at any time. How could I dare to provoke her..."

"What? They're forcing you to write an apology? That's outrageous!" Xu Hongying's voice rose several pitches. She had a very bad impression of her daughter-in-law. "Your husband Chen doesn't even care."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuxia wiped away tears sadly: "You know, my old Chen is a rough man, he never cares about me."

Xu Hongying felt a lump in her throat; she could relate to this kind of thing.

Lao Gu has been married to her for decades, but he has devoted himself to the military camp, and has not cared about his family and will not stand by her when something happens.

I really have no words to express my pain.

She looked at Yang Qiuxia as if she saw herself when she was young: "Don't worry, if Captain Chen doesn't protect you, I will. I will stand up for you and let Shen Sisi give you an explanation..."

At home, Shen Sisi was peeling oranges for Niu Niu.

Suddenly there were three knocks on the door.

"Is Sister Sisi at home?"

Hearing Li Wenhui's voice, Shen Sisi quickly got up and opened the door.

Li Wenhui was holding a basket with three or four pieces of smoked sausage in it.

"Sister Wenhui, please come in."

She stepped into the room and casually handed the basket to Shen Sisi.

"I made my own sausage, for you..."

Shen Sisi's palms sank. This must be several kilograms of meat...

Li Wenhui is a country girl with no special skills. She likes to tinker with handicrafts and food at home.

Shen Sisi took the sausage and saw that it was fat and lean and shiny. Her stomach was aroused and she was already thinking about what gift to give her in return.

"Thank you, you are so polite..." Shen Sisi quickly welcomed the person in, put the basket next to the sewing machine, and poured a cup of hot tea for the person.

Then she brought out peanuts, melon seeds and candies.

"Come on, light a fire and have something to eat."

Li Wenhui didn't hesitate and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them.

"Why are there only you and Niuniu, Captain Gu, and his old lady?"

"Gu Chengfeng went to process some documents, and the old lady went out for a walk."

Li Wenhui finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked her up and down with concern: "Are you okay today?"

"What can happen to me?" Shen Sisi asked back with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. This old lady is notorious in the military district for being a bitch and cunning... I'm afraid she'll give you a hard time."

Shen Sisi rarely heard Gu Chengfeng mention his family. She only knew that he had a bad relationship with his parents and relatives since he was a child, and was always causing trouble. His family had no choice but to send him to his aunt's house in Lin County.

When he first came to Lin County, Gu Chengfeng was always fighting and causing trouble, and he was famous throughout the county.

The school teachers jointly wrote a letter asking the school to expel Gu Chengfeng. It was her father who saw the shining points in Gu Chengfeng and said that the child was not a bad person by nature and could still be saved.

She didn't know how her father persuaded Gu Chengfeng, but in any case, Gu Chengfeng really changed for the better and even joined the army.

Shen Sisi couldn't understand why Gu Chengfeng was the only son of the Gu family and his mother didn't love him?

It turns out that it is understandable.

"This old lady has been in the capital all year round. How did you know?" Shen Sisi didn't doubt her, but was puzzled.

"Everyone knows it, except you." Li Wenhui cracked melon seeds and said excitedly, "This is a long story. It has to start many years ago..."

When Xu Hongying was young, she fell into the water while washing clothes and was rescued by Gu Changhe, the father of Gu Chengfeng.

She fell in love with this young and handsome soldier at first sight and married him out of gratitude.

At that time, Gu Changhe had a lover and they were talking about marriage, but he met Xu Hongying who cried, made a fuss and even threatened to commit suicide, so he had no choice but to marry her.

After marriage, he rarely went home and stayed in the barracks all day.

Xu Hongying felt neglected, so she ran to the military camp to make trouble, forcing him to go home for at least one week every month. This is how the Gu family had three children.

"She was having a hard time, so she took it out on her children and the neighbors. The news spread throughout the military region."

While Li Wenhui was gossiping, her eyes were also secretly keeping watch.

I was afraid that Xu Hongying would come back suddenly and hear her chirping behind me, and then I would grab her and bite her...

Shen Sisi shouldn't comment on the affairs of her elders, but after hearing the story, she couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that Gu Chengfeng grew up in such a cold home.

No wonder he was so rebellious as a child, causing trouble everywhere to seek attention.

As for Xu Hongying, she is both hateful and pitiful.

No wonder she has such a weird personality and is always disliked by others...

"In short, you have to be careful, she can be very annoying." Li Wenhui looked at her with heartache. It was such a sin to have such a wicked mother-in-law.

"When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Don't worry!"

The two of them chatted quietly around the fire. Guessing the old lady was about to return, Li Wenhui stood up and said goodbye: "Remember to try that sausage, it's delicious!"

"Thank you, Sister Wenhui..."

Just as Shen Sisi sent Li Wenhui out of the hospital, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure waving goodbye to the old lady at the intersection.

Yang Qiuxia?

How could she be with Xu Hongying?

You must be holding back something good!

Shen Sisi returned to the stove calmly, ready to be on guard at all times.

Gu Chengfeng was not at home. Logically, Xu Hongying would definitely take the opportunity to bully her and make trouble with her.

But the strange thing was that Xu Hongying just glared at her as soon as she entered the room and then walked into the room.

This is so abnormal!

It was unusually quiet.

Shen Sisi was confused and had no idea what she was up to.
