Chapter 425 A sister without any grudges?
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng was delighted and said with a smile: "Thank you, Secretary."
Wang Fu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal." After that, he took a puff of his pipe, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "It's just... the situation is difficult right now, do you have any extra money?"
He knew that this was not a random question, but he was really curious and couldn't figure it out.
I don’t know about other people, but he usually fills his stomach with two meals of sweet potato pickles at home.
No one knows what the situation will be like next year. Food distribution will not be available until the end of the year, and we will have to endure hard times for another year. If something happens, it will be a disaster year. Starving to death is nothing, and we can only tighten our belts to survive.
As Lei Dahua said, every household is not able to get enough food now, and the Gu family still wants to build a house. How can it not be conspicuous?
Gu Yuehuai lied calmly, "Secretary, I'm married. My partner is Yan Zhiqing who came from Beijing. He is now in the army. When he proposed marriage, he gave my family a lot of gifts. He thought that since there are many people in my family, the house he built would be spacious."
Wang Fu understood everything. No wonder others were so skinny and pale from hunger while the Gu family still had spare money to build a house.
He knew the inside story. This group of educated youth from Beijing were not ordinary people. Their families were all officials. They had money and power. The betrothal gifts they gave must be no small amount, which was understandable.
When Wang Fu thought of the educated youth from Beijing, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
There was something strange in the look on his face when he looked at Yue Huai. Bringing the dead back to life was simply an incredible skill!
Although Gu Yuehuai explained a lot yesterday, in the eyes of the people in the group, she was like a god!
Wang Fu asked, "Xiao Gu, are you really going to be a military doctor in the military district?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's my husband's unit. When he leaves the brigade, I'll have to trouble the secretary to take care of the family. If the secretary needs any help, please don't hesitate to ask my father and brother."
Wang Fu laughed and gave Gu Yuehuai a thumbs up: "Little Gu, you really bring honor to our brigade. Being a military doctor sounds impressive. Just go to the army without worrying about your family. Your uncle will definitely take good care of you. Don't worry."
He took out a piece of letter paper, wrote a certificate for building a house, stamped it with the brigade's official seal, and handed it to Gu Yuehuai, saying, "Go back quickly, it's getting late. If you need any help with the building, just let me know. The brigade will help as much as it can."
Gu Yuehuai took the certificate and smiled: "Thank you, uncle."
As they left the brigade, Gu Zhifeng sighed with emotion and said with a wry smile, "Nannan, what will happen without you at home? Nothing can be done. You are young, but you worry more than me as a father."
Gu Yuehuai stuffed the house construction certificate to Gu Zhifeng: "There is no way, I was born to worry in this life."
Gu Zhifeng held the certificate in her hand, shook her head, and slapped Gu Xihuai on the head, shouting, "You are so old, but you can't even do such a thing. You let your sister go on this trip. Tell me, what's the point of having you?"
Gu Xihuai rubbed his head with a grin, then ran away, with his hands on his lips, clenched like a trumpet, and shouted, "How dare you talk about me, Dad? How old are you? You were speechless because of Lei Dahua!"
"Hey! You little brat, I think you're itching for trouble!" Gu Zhifeng said, preparing to take off his shoes and hit him.
Gu Yuehuai stopped him and looked at Gu Xihuai who was running away, smiling and said, "Dad, it's a good thing you studied abroad when you were young. Look at your demeanor now. If any of your classmates from that time met you now, they probably wouldn't recognize you."
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng shook his head meaninglessly: "I have been a farmer for twenty years, who cares about that?"
Gu Yuehuai looked at the calm expression on his face and chuckled. He felt more relaxed after experiencing more.
The father and daughter walked slowly. Gu Yuehuai thought about it and decided to tell him about what happened when she met Gu Ruihuai after night school today. Marriage is a lifelong event. If he really married that domineering woman just to please the Qin family, he would probably not live a happy life.
She really didn't care about Gu Ruihuai anymore, but she cared about Gu Zhifeng.
This man, who could not be considered a good man, had used all his kindness and conscience on her and had never treated her unfairly in his two lifetimes. She didn't want him to spend the rest of his life worrying about Gu Ruihuai's choice.
After hearing this, Gu Zhifeng indeed stopped and did not move. His brows were tightly furrowed, and anger flashed in his tiger eyes.
"Dad, don't worry. Go to the commune tomorrow to ask Lin Jinshu if there is any room for change. I think that given Lin Jinshu's personality, she would not agree to the marriage arranged for Gu Ruihuai."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him, his voice calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
Gu Zhifeng's lips trembled: "Nannan, you..."
"Dad, I'm telling you this because I don't want you to pay for Gu Ruihuai's wrong choices in the future. I've done my best for him. If you want him to come back, I have no objection."
"It's just that I hope you respect my choice and don't force him and me together. It's not that there is no brother-sister relationship, but do you think I can still be his good sister without any grudges after going through so much?"
"Dad, people are all made of flesh and blood, and so am I. I can't let bygones be bygones."
"After all, I'm far away in Huaihai City from now on, and I'm afraid I won't come back easily. It doesn't matter what you think."
"You just need to lead your brothers to live a good life, and then I will feel at ease."
Gu Yuehuai said these words calmly, but Gu Zhifeng's eyes turned red. Thinking of what Gu Ruihuai had done back then, he felt heartbroken. Yes, he was like a demon at that time, and the things he did could only be described as vicious.
Although he was old and hoped that the children at home could get along well, after hearing what Nannan said, how could he easily say that they should reconcile? He couldn't say it, let alone do it.
Gu Yuehuai walked forward with her eyelids lowered. She naturally knew that these words were also hurtful to Gu Zhifeng.
However, she still wanted to make things clear. Although she had done a lot of wrong things in her previous life, she was trying her best to make up for it in this life. It was not easy for her to live again, and she did not want to make things difficult for herself.
After a while, Gu Zhifeng wiped his face, and he lowered his voice and said softly: "Nannan, don't worry, Dad won't force you, you can do whatever you want. You can tell Dad about this, which means you are soft-hearted towards the second child."
"Tomorrow I will go to the commune to find you... to find Lin Jinshu and ask him about this marriage."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said nothing more.
The two returned home. Gu Xihuai was talking to Gu Tinghuai and Bai Mei about the breeding center in a very emotional manner. When he heard that Chen Yuesheng was released from prison, Gu Tinghuai's face turned a little ugly. He did not have any sympathy for this man.
He also felt a little self-blame and regret. If he had not carried the man down from the mountain, Nannan would not have suffered so much. Now that he thinks about it, it would have been better for him to be eaten by the wolves on the mountain.
The two were talking excitedly when they heard a noise and their conversation stopped.
