Chapter 224: All-for-all Favor

She couldn't resist Jiang Zhizhi at all, so she drank the chicken soup obediently. The chicken soup contained red dates, wolfberries, and ginseng, and it tasted very good. This was Xueli's first time drinking chicken soup, and she felt warm in her heart.

Jiang Zhizhi accompanied Xueli for dinner and told her the truth only after she finished eating.

After that, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from Xueli's face and said softly: "I think this matter should not be hidden from you. This truth is indeed very cruel, but the future is so long, I don't want you to be tied down by the Ming family. You don't owe the Ming family anything, but everyone in the Ming family owes you. They are guilty."

"Also, I hope that Xueli will get better from today. Xueli is not the one who is abandoned, because in this world, there is still someone who stands by you without hesitation."

Xueli subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away her tears. It turned out that she was crying.

For a long time, she tried her best to hold back her tears, and she kept telling herself to be strong again and again.

In this world, no one cares about you, no one loves you, so just love yourself.

She has always protected herself well. Even this time when she was captured by Old Lady Ming in exchange for a betrothal gift, she fought hard to escape and resist.

Jiang Zhizhi couldn't bear to see Xueli like this, so he opened his arms and said softly, "It's okay, just cry if you feel bad, let it out. In fact, crying is not shameful at all."

"This time, Xueli doesn't need to be strong, hug?"

At this moment, Xue Li, who no longer suppressed her emotions, threw herself into Jiang Zhizhi's arms, wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Zhizhi's waist, letting her tears flow down, venting all her grievances.

Jiang Zhizhi didn't say another word. He just patted Xue Li's back gently and accompanied her silently.

I don't know how much time has passed. Xueli gradually stopped. At this moment, she felt very relaxed. She asked, "Zhizhi, I don't want to go back to Gu's house, nor do I want to go back to Ming's house. Am I being selfish?"

She doesn't want either, she just wants to live a good life.

Jiang Zhizhi: "Just follow your inner thoughts. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. It's no big deal."

Xueli continued to absorb the sense of security that Jiang Zhizhi brought her, and murmured, "Okay."

That day, Jiang Zhizhi conveyed Xue Li's thoughts to Gu Qingpei, and Gu Qingpei said he understood.

This result was within his expectations.

Now, as the group leader, Gu Qingpei is eligible to apply for family housing.

But one of the conditions for applying for family housing is family status, such as being married and having a wife and children to take care of.

Gu Qingpei was worried about letting Xueli live alone in the county town, as he did not have holidays every week.

His situation was very special, so Gu Qingpei wrote an application and went to Mr. Zhao's office to explain the situation to him in detail.

Teacher Zhao was protective of the good soldier because Captain Gu Qingpei also had many military achievements.

Our heroic warriors are in trouble right now and need help from the camp. The camp can naturally solve the problem and will handle it as appropriate.

So Teacher Zhao called Political Commissar Chen Yueming to discuss whether there was any vacant family housing.

Political Commissar Chen Yueming nodded in understanding: "The newly built tube-shaped buildings are already full, but the old family housing is still vacant. We will arrange it according to the special situation and special treatment. We will allocate a family housing with one living room, two bedrooms and one bathroom."

Gu Qingpei was satisfied and saluted Teacher Zhao.

For the next three days, Jiang Zhizhi stayed with Xue Li and arranged a time for Gu Qingpei and Xue Li to meet.

Gu Qingpei has been busy in the family quarters for the past three days. He still lives in the single dormitory, which is for Xue Li to live in alone.

Many things needed to be prepared anew and the bathroom had to be cleaned thoroughly, so he would run to the family room whenever he had free time.

Nong Chunhua heard the good news and ran over happily, "That's great, Xueli doesn't have to go back to that cannibalistic place anymore."

Jiang Zhizhi patted Xueli's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Gu said that no matter what your final choice is, he respects you."

"Besides, he also said that in his heart, you will always be his only sister."

Nong Chunhua chuckled and said, "As my husband Liang said, this is a real man!"

Xueli really wanted to get closer to Zhizhi, and with everyone's kind advice, Xueli thanked Gu Qingpei and accepted his kindness.

Gu Qingpei laughed, then handed the money and bills he had saved over the years to Jiang Zhizhi, and asked her to take Xueli to buy clothes, pants, shoes, and daily necessities.

Anyway, just buy whatever you need.

"No need to tell Xueli, just say it was given by you, Zhimei. Otherwise, she won't want it." Gu Qingpei said softly.

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "Who would do good deeds without leaving a name behind?"

"Anyway, I won't hide it from my good sisters, so I might as well try to improve your favorability."

Jiang Zhizhi checked Xueli's foot and found that it had recovered well, so he took the camp's shopping cart and took Xueli and Nong Chunhua to the department store to do some shopping.

Xue Li's heart trembled. She was deeply shocked by Gu Qingpei's willingness to risk everything to fight for justice for her.

However, Xueli is still a little scared now, and she doesn't have enough courage to accept it.

So, she listened to Jiang Zhizhi and just let things take their own course without forcing it.

This was Sydney's first time in a department store. She was frightened by the high prices of ready-made clothes and dared not look at them.

Jiang Zhizhi looked ready to compete and had already started picking out clothes with Sister Chunhua.

The delicate beauty Xueli's face was red. Unable to resist, she could only whisper: "Zhizhi, Sister Chunhua, I just want that kind of defective cloth. I can sew clothes myself."

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "On this point, I will definitely listen to Brother Gu. Brother Gu said to dress you up beautifully, but I have to complete the task."

"And I have a sewing machine in my house. If you want to make your own clothes, come to me."

Sister Chunhua was envious: "Captain Gu is indeed impeccable on this point."

The two bought three sets of ready-made clothes for Sydney, snatched some comfortable fabrics, and then went to buy two pairs of shoes.

As for daily necessities, just buy whatever you need. There will be a shopping cart available for you later, and when you return to the family compound, the men will come to help you get them.

With Jiang Zhizhi and Nong Chunhua around, we bought everything we needed.

When they returned to the supply truck, some of the military wives' eyes almost popped out. My goodness, they bought so many things?

This weak and frail girl in front of me is actually Captain Gu’s sister?

The military wives carefully observed Sydney's appearance. Hmm, she is thin, but her eyes and mouth are too similar!

Oh my goodness, both Mr. Gu and Xue Li have teardrop moles at the corners of their eyes.

Back at the family compound, Lu Xingchen came to pick up his wife, and Gu Qingpei dragged free laborer Jiang Wanglai to help move things.

As soon as the training was finished, the three tall and straight figures waited at the gate of the family compound for the shopping truck to return.

The sisters-in-law were sitting in the shopping cart, laughing and teasing Jiang Zhizhi and Xue Li.

Lu Xingchen first took the bag from Jiang Zhizhi, weighed the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's so amazing."

Everything is in short supply these days, and many rare items need to be snatched up.

Jiang Zhizhi snorted with a smile: "Of course, we have to complete the task that Brother Gu has assigned to us."

Nong Chunhua, who was standing at the side, laughed: "It's amazing that Zhi girl was so good. She chatted with the salesperson so enthusiastically that people who didn't know her would think they had a very close relationship. The salesperson was so happy that he took out some inventory for her to see."

Jiang Wang was walking towards his sister, but just as he took the first step, he was stopped by Gu Qingpei, who said, "Brother, help me."

"Who made you so tall and strong?"

Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows and said in a very arrogant manner: "Brother, are you exaggerating me?"

"Since you have such good vision, I'm here!"

Xue Li turned her head just in time to see this scene, and her lips slowly curled up.

As for Gu Qingchuan, he received the news early and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

At least Sister Xueli was willing to talk to her second brother.

But his second brother warned him not to rush over rashly, so as not to scare Xueli.

After all, in Xueli's eyes, they are just strangers.

That day, Jiang Zhizhi was chatting with Nong Chunhua and Yan Zi and heard that there was milk available for ordering in the family compound.

A group of military wives are still hesitating whether to do so.

Jiang Zhizhi asked happily, "Is it the fresh milk that is delivered every day?"

She is greedy!
