Chapter 59 A Bitter Future

Tong Liqun stood on the edge of the field and cursed at the group of gossipers, his spittle flying everywhere, his momentum so great that he almost broke his pipe in the process.

Gu, the educated youth, secretly sent Hou San to the police station because she didn't want to implicate Bakushu Village.

If it weren't for Xie Manman, that troublemaker, who was single-mindedly trying to harm Su Zhiqing and insisted on calling the police, would all this mess have happened?

Tong Liqun knew very well that if it weren't for Gu Yanxiao, his Tong Aiguo would have been bitten by the short-tailed viper long ago when Xie Manman foolishly stole the Ganoderma lucidum.

Gu Yanxiao was the savior of the Tong family, and Tong Liqun always remembered this.

The reason we didn't do anything ostentatiously was so that when dealing with matters concerning the Gu family in the future, we could subtly favor them without being noticed.

Su Xiangwan was unaware that Tong Liqun was protecting her family in Bakushu Village.

After Gu's father, Gu's mother, and Gu Yanfei saw that the matter had been resolved, they went back to work in the fields.

With Wu Yong'an and Gu Yanxiao around, they don't need to worry about Su Xiangwan encountering any more trouble.

At this moment, Su Xiangwan was sitting in a chair, looking curiously at Wu Yong'an, who had just been coldly scolding Xie Manman, but now transformed into a blushing, obedient child in front of her husband.

"Commander, how could they do this? You've made countless contributions to the army over the years, and even this injury is because of..."

Wu Yong'an looked at Gu Yanxiao with red eyes and indignation.

The commander was the person he admired most. If it weren't for the commander, he probably would have died in that mission.

It can be said that almost all the brothers in their group had been saved by their leader.

In their hearts, their almost godlike commander was treated like this after being injured.

Wu Yong'an now even has an impulse to grab a gun, rush to the capital, and kill all those treacherous people.

"Wu Yong'an," Gu Yanxiao called out in a low voice.

"Here!" Wu Yong'an straightened up instinctively and answered in a loud voice.

"Don't forget our beliefs." Gu Yanxiao looked into his bloodshot eyes, her voice calm.

"Commander..." Wu Yong'an was filled with grief and indignation.

"Believe me, everything will be alright." Gu Yanxiao raised her hand and patted his shoulder, no longer mentioning herself. "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adjust after your discharge, but now it seems you're doing very well!"

"Thank you for the praise, Commander. I am your soldier, Commander, and I must not let you down." When Wu Yong'an heard Gu Yanxiao say "very good," his eyes stung, but he immediately straightened his back.

Hehe, he got praised by the regimental commander.

If my old buddies knew this, they'd be green with envy!

"Don't call me Commander anymore, just call me Brother Gu."

A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Yanxiao's eyes. If he could, he would still like to continue to shine in the army.

Becoming a soldier was his only belief since childhood.

“In my heart, the regimental commander is the regimental commander, he was before, he will be in the future, and he will be for life.” Wu Yong’an stood straight and spoke with unwavering conviction.

Gu Yanxiao simply stopped correcting him and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

"Since you're here, why don't you have lunch here before you leave? We can also have a drink together."

"Commander, let me help you." Wu Yong'an wasn't about to sit and wait for Gu Yanxiao to cook; he quickly joined in the cooking.

Gu Yanxiao didn't stand on ceremony with him and directly instructed him to pick vegetables and start a fire.

Su Xiangwan's eyes darted around, and she rushed to wash the rice first. While the two weren't paying attention, she added spiritual spring water to cook the rice.

These days, the whole family has been drinking Lingquan water, and their complexion has visibly improved a lot. I believe that if we continue, those long-standing ailments will gradually heal.

This will also be of great help to Gu Yanxiao when she has surgery.

By the time the meal was ready, Mr. and Mrs. Gu and Gu Yanfei had also returned from work.

The group gathered around an octagonal table to eat.

Although Wu Yong'an was a little reserved at first, fortunately, Gu's parents were both warm and hospitable people, so the atmosphere was harmonious.

However, Gu Yanxiao's suggestion to drink a little something was no longer valid.

Su Xiangwan kept in mind the bullet near his heart and wouldn't allow him to drink a single drop of alcohol.

Gu Yanxiao, who was henpecked, could only helplessly rub his nose, breaking his promise to his soldiers for the first time.

To their surprise, they had only eaten half of the meal when they heard a loud banging on the door.

Sitting on the outermost seat, Gu Yanfei rolled her eyes, thinking someone had come to cause trouble again, and stormed over to open the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Yang Junqing who knocked on the door. He glanced into the room and asked, "Miss Gu, could you ask your family's policeman to take Yirou to the hospital?"

"Xu Yirou? What happened to her?"

Gu Yanfei was somewhat puzzled.

Did this educated youth settlement break a taboo?

Why are things happening one after another?

Even though the Gu family has moved out, they still can't escape it.

"Yi Rou fell into the ditch, broke her head, and bled a lot. If it weren't for the fact that we were on the same road back from work to eat, she might have been in grave danger!"

Yang Junqing was covered in mud and grass clippings, his eyes filled with relief and lingering fear.

As they were talking, Gu Yanxiao and the others also came out.

After hearing Yang Junqing's words, Wu Yong'an nodded: "Where is she? I'll take her to the town hospital right now."

As a public security officer, he naturally cannot stand idly by when ordinary people are in trouble.

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Gu, Sister-in-law Gu, Little Sister Gu, I'll come to visit another day."

Wu Yong'an greeted everyone before getting on his motorcycle and gesturing for Yang Junqing to get on and leave.

With Wu Yong'an's help, Xu Yirou was quickly taken to the town hospital.

Wu Yong'an was still concerned about Xie Manman's statement, so after the doctor took over, he rode away on his motorcycle.

When the town doctor saw Xu Yirou's injuries, his expression turned grave: "What happened? How could this woman have fallen so badly?"

"I don't know either. When we found her, she was lying in the ditch. We don't know how long she had been unconscious." Yang Junqing's expression was also somewhat grim. He hadn't been with Xu Yirou on his mission today, so he didn't know the situation either.

After the examination, the doctor said, "It's still unclear whether she has a brain hemorrhage or internal injury. You'd better transfer her to a city hospital for a proper examination to be on the safe side."

Upon hearing that instruments would be needed, Yang Junqing's expression immediately turned extremely grim.

He opened his mouth somewhat awkwardly, but remained silent for a long time.

It was obvious that they had no intention of sending Xu Yirou to the city for treatment, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
