Shen Ningsi was originally a doctor from the agricultural research institute, not only proficient in farming but also skilled in medicine. She was a prominent rising star in Huaguo!
Who knew ...
No one noticed Shen Ningsi's slightly stunned expression.
When Uncle Gu heard what Gu Hong said, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a good thing that you have this kind of awareness. After all, you can figure out who is more important to you. That's enough."
"Uncle San, I feel like General Gu seems to have not figured something out."
Shen Ningsi smiled faintly, "I am definitely not a very important person to General Gu. Everything General Gu is doing now is just a bit unwilling."
Shen Ningsi simply ignored Gu Hong, whose expression turned extremely ugly after hearing what she said.
This was not the first or second time that she had offended Gu Hong, and she was not prepared to rely on Gu Hong's power to gain convenience in the future.
"General Gu, I could have taken advantage of your kindness to gain some convenience in my life, but after hearing what you said just now, I realized that I was completely wrong."
Shen Ningsi's face was calm. Even when facing Gu Hong, who held such a high official position, she never showed a trace of fear.
"If you continue to let General Gu stay here with this mentality, you may find that all your efforts are in vain before long. If that happens, I'm sure the two of us will grow tired of each other in the future."
Shen Ningsi saw that Gu Hong's expression was getting more and more tense, but his eyes remained extremely calm.
What was she afraid of? From the very beginning, she had already offended this man by bringing Gu Hong's child to her.
Although she didn't know why Gu Hong hadn't done anything to restore his self-esteem yet, Shen Ningsi had never imagined that Gu Hong would always be calm and not pursue what he had done during this period.
"So I'm going to emphasize to General Gu once again in front of Third Uncle that no matter how much you've paid during this period, I will always remember the past hurts. I will never erase everything you did in the future. These things will make me feel uncomfortable."
"I will never accept you."
When Uncle Gu saw Gu Hong express his attitude, he thought that the couple might be able to reconcile again.
He's met too many people in his life.
There are many cases where women are wronged, but are coaxed back by men with just a few words.
Not to mention that Gu Hong was originally a man who was good to Shen Ningsi in both words and deeds. Just based on this ability, Shen Ningsi should have accepted Gu Hong.
"Miss Shen, Uncle San has always been on your side. Logically speaking, Uncle San shouldn't comment on your choices, but this time... Uncle San thinks you should give Gu Hong a chance."
Shen Ningsi's voice was still calm, but even in this gentle voice, the words that came out of it were extremely decisive.
"Uncle, all my decisions are carefully considered. I could have continued to play along with General Gu. After all, as long as General Gu stayed here, no one else in Wanning Village would dare to come and cause trouble. But after hearing what General Gu said just now, I'm really scared."
Gu Hong's face had already turned pale. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer, and the sarcasm on his face was not concealed at all.
"Chen Ningsi, if you're talking nonsense, at least pretend to be simple. Do you look like you're afraid of this general? You're almost riding on my head and running wild. How can following this general make you feel wronged?"
"Of course I won't suffer any grievances if I follow General Gu, but I won't be happy if I follow General Gu."
Listening to Gu Hong's angry words, Shen Ningsi continued without even blinking: "Even now, if General Gu treats our family a little better, I have thought countless times in my heart whether I will be retaliated by you because I can't repay General Gu's kindness."
"Rather than waiting until things become irreversible, I might as well make it clear to the general now. No matter what happens, I will never be able to repay General Gu."
After Shen Ningsi said this, she never gave Gu Hong another look and let the man get angry and his face turned red. She also never gave him a flattering smile.
"Uncle San, the things between us are really too complicated. You're worrying too much. Let's not think about these things anymore and just have a peaceful meal."
Uncle Gu obviously had a lot of words stuck in his throat that he hadn't said.
But looking at Shen Ningsi's eyes, he finally sighed.
I really misjudged this little girl's character in the past. At that time, I thought she was a submissive person. She must have suffered a lot of grievances following Gu Hong, a scoundrel.
He really didn't expect it, but after not seeing her for more than half a year, this girl seemed like a different person.
"If it were anyone else, Third Uncle would definitely try every possible means to persuade them, but if it were you two, Third Uncle wouldn't say anything."
"After all, you two are people who make your own decisions. No matter how much others advise you, it won't be as good as you two understanding each other."
After Uncle Gu said this, he immediately put the matter of Ana Shen and Malatang behind him.
He smiled gently and walked into the main room side by side with Shen Ningsi.
“Uncle San has already smelled the aroma of this meat just now, and he has never seen a cooking method like yours, Miss Shen.”
Uncle Gu couldn't help but sigh. Shen Ningsi had already served the braised meat.
He took a closer look and found that there were even many precious Chinese herbal medicines in it. Only Shen Ningsi would be willing to use these things to cook.
"Uncle San, don't worry. Since I use these seasonings in my cooking, it means they are not precious."
Cooking is always necessary nowadays, and Shen Ningsi must try every possible means to grow spices. She is really fed up with the tasteless meals.
"Wanning Village didn't see these things in the past, simply because the planting methods were incorrect. When I get better in a while, I will definitely lead everyone to plant these."
Shen Ningsi counted the tasks he had completed during this period on his fingers.
"Of course, we can postpone these things. The most important thing is to help the villagers grow potatoes as soon as possible to fill their stomachs first and then pay attention to the taste."
"Also, I saw a few children with pale faces and skinny bodies. It's obvious that they have eaten a lot of food at home, but they still look pale and skinny. This can only mean that they don't eat enough vegetables. There is still far from enough water in the village. If you want to grow vegetables, water is absolutely indispensable."
Shen Ningsi couldn't help but frowned as he spoke.
Although she had a lot of agricultural knowledge, she was unable to put it to good use in such a barren place.
