Chapter 335 The Mistress Takes Over
In the morning, Gu Yihan followed behind Hao Hao, watching him walk for more than thirty minutes to the cafeteria with his short legs.
She stood on tiptoe and sweetly called out to the cafeteria lady serving food, "Auntie, I'd like to buy a bowl of millet porridge and a large steamed bun."
"Oh, Hao Hao came by himself today?"
Hao Hao handed the covered enamel mug to the cafeteria lady and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, I've grown up."
The cafeteria lady chuckled and chimed in, "Yes, our Hao Hao is a little man."
After saying that, he carefully closed the enamel mug and placed it in Hao Hao's special backpack.
Hao Hao looked up at her and grinned.
She began by saying thank you, "Thank you, Auntie."
The canteen lady couldn't help but smile; she really adored Commander Lu's child.
She smiles at everyone she meets, has a sweet tongue, and is very polite.
After returning home, Hao Hao glanced at the time and nervously finished his breakfast.
Without even saying goodbye to Gu Yihan, he grabbed his schoolbag from the sofa and ran to Zhao Hu's door.
He shouted loudly, "Brother Zhao Hu, hurry up, you're going to be late for school!"
"Here we go, here we go."
Zhao Hu stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth as he ran toward the door.
"Tiger, you left your schoolbag behind."
Zhang Mei caught up with Zhao Hu, carrying his schoolbag, and put it on his back, instructing him, "Be careful when you're leading Hao Hao, don't let him fall."
Zhao Hu nodded, patted his chest casually, and immediately assured her, "Grandma, don't worry."
After saying that, the two held hands and skipped away.
Zhang Mei turned her head and saw Gu Yihan following her furtively. She asked suspiciously, "Xiaohan, where are you going?"
"I'll see Hao Hao off."
Zhang Mei stared at Gu Yihan's retreating figure, scratching her head in confusion, and muttered to herself, "It's only a ten-minute walk, why do you need to take her?"
Gu Yihan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Hao Hao and Zhao Hu safely enter the classroom.
On the way home
I met Wu Meili talking to a man pushing a bicycle.
"If you don't like me, why did you marry me?"
"Since you married me, why don't you touch me!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused, her ears instantly becoming like radar, holding her breath and listening intently.
Seeing that Gao Yunlin didn't speak, Wu Meili burst into tears and growled in a low voice, "Say something, are you mute?"
Gao Yunlin glanced at Wu Meili indifferently and said casually, "Before we got married, I already wrote to you that I had someone I liked."
Wu Meili paused in wiping away her tears, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
They should have spent money to hire some thugs to ruin that little bitch.
"If you have someone you like, why don't you fight against your parents and marry her?"
As she spoke, Wu Meili raised her head, her round tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful as if they were about to fall.
It evokes pity
Gu Yihan sighed, "This person was born into the wrong era; they should have lived in the era of Qiong Yao."
Upon hearing Wu Meili's words, Gao Yunlin's expression suddenly turned cold, and he stared intently at Wu Meili.
His voice was as cold as ice: "Wasn't it you who went to Xiaoxue's family and used my father's identity to threaten and oppress them?"
"Tell them to keep their daughter in check, and threaten them by saying that if Xiaoxue comes to me again, you should report her to the Revolutionary Committee for misconduct and seducing a married man."
Upon hearing this, Wu Meili was startled. How did Gao Yunlin know that she had gone to see Song Xue's family?
Gao Yunlin glanced at Wu Meili, whose face was pale, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
Worried that Wu Meili might actually report them to the Revolutionary Committee and implicate the family, Song Xue's parents went to the educated youth office that very night and reported Song Xue's name.
By the time he found out, Song Xue had already been forcibly sent to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province by her family.
Thinking of this, Gao Yunlin said coldly, "Since you like being the chief of staff's daughter-in-law so much, of course I will grant your wish."
After saying that, without even looking at her face, which made him feel nauseous, he rode his bicycle away from the residential compound.
Gu Yihan looked at the distraught Wu Meili and shook her head.
This must be a case of the mistress scheming to take over.
Tsk tsk, shameless.
When Wu Meili looked up, she saw Gu Yihan shaking her head with a look of disdain.
It is suspected that she overheard her conversation with Gao Yunlin.
I felt both ashamed and angry.
He questioned, "Comrade Gu, do you really enjoy eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"
Gu Yihan looked up at Wu Meili in surprise, admiring her strong mentality.
Smiling, she said, "Comrade Wu, please take a look at the surrounding environment. This is not your home; this is a main road that anyone in the army can walk on."
After speaking, he glanced at several military wives not far from Wu Meili.
Wu Meili looked in the direction of Gu Yihan's gaze and saw several military wives whispering behind her.
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground so no one could see her.
Gu Yihan saw Wu Meili's ashamed expression.
He spoke slowly, "Comrade Wu, if you don't want others to hear what you're saying in the future, please have you and your husband whisper it under the covers."
"Pfft."
The military wives who were watching the commotion couldn't help but laugh when they heard Gu Yihan's words.
"Commander Lu's wife is quite good at making fun of people."
"Knowing that Comrade Gao doesn't like Comrade Hu, how could he possibly whisper secrets to her in bed?"
...
Days passed by like this.
On the thirtieth day of following Hao Hao, Gu Yihan finally decided to let go.
Let him complete the tasks assigned to him by Lu Huailin independently every day.
At the entrance of the courtyard
"Xiao Han, we're not going to see Hao Hao off today," Zhang Mei teased with a smile.
Gu Yihan smiled slightly and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Zhang Mei smiled and waved her hand: "It's understandable that you're nervous because it's your first time letting your child go to school alone."
Gu Yihan smiled and said, "That's right."
“I’m always worried that my child will be bullied on the street, or that some clueless human trafficker might come in and harm the children in the family compound.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Xiao Han, you're so funny."
“This is a military family compound. If those scoundrels come here, they're just walking into a trap.”
Putting everything else aside, the sentries at the gate are not just sitting idly by; they keep a clear record of everyone who comes in and out every day.
Gu Yihan covered her mouth and laughed when she heard what Zhang Mei said.
"However, in retrospect, Commander Lu was only doing it for Hao Hao's own good."
"When they reach the age of 12, they will undergo basic military training together."
Zhang Mei laughed.
"What?"
Gu Yihan was stunned and quickly went to Zhang Mei's side.
He asked, "Auntie, why are Hao Hao and the others starting to train with soldiers from the age of 12?"
Zhang Mei looked up and curiously sized up Gu Yihan.
He asked in confusion, "Don't you know? The boys in our compound are usually sent to training camps during winter and summer vacations starting at age 12."
Gu Yihan's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Huailin didn't tell me."
Seeing that she looked unwell, Zhang Mei quickly laughed it off and said, "It's normal that you don't know."
"Auntie, I only found out about training camps after serving in the army for more than ten years."
Gu Yihan nodded perfunctorily, said a few unimportant words to Zhang Mei, and went back.
