“Gu Ji, aren’t you making your daughter look bad by going back now?” Fu Ling quickly pulled her husband back.
By this time, what was bound to happen had already happened, and they couldn't change anything in the past.
Gu Ji could not possibly be unaware of this, but he was in great distress right now.
"What do you suggest we do?" Gu Ji thought of Li Shuan. "He's already in his thirties, and no one in the village wants to marry him. And Qiu Ning, that silly girl, how could she..."
Fu Ling looked at Gu Ji and comforted him, "Qiu Ning is not a child without a sense of propriety. The fact that she has decided on Li Shuan proves that he is a good person. Just because he has a leg injury doesn't mean that he can't give Qiu Ning happiness."
At this point, even if she didn't want to, Fu Ling, as a mother, had no choice.
After calming down, Gu realized that he had been too hasty, which led his daughter to do such a thing.
Just then, the phone rang.
Fu Ling glanced at her husband before answering the call.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
After making the call, Li Shuan was a little nervous at first, and then said, "Auntie, this is Li Shuan."
Upon hearing Li Shuan's name, Fu Ling asked worriedly, "Li Shuan, is Qiu Ning with you?"
After asking, she was still very nervous. If it wasn't true, she was doomed. She was still a little shocked.
"Yes, she's asleep. I... I'll take Qiu Ning back tomorrow." Li Shuan thought that since what had happened had already occurred, he had to face it.
Fu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that she's by your side. Tell her that Mom and Dad don't blame her! Qiu Ning likes you, and Auntie doesn't object!"
At this moment, Gu Ji tried to grab the phone to speak, but Fu Ling gestured to him with her eyes, and he ultimately remained silent.
"Auntie will be waiting for you to come tomorrow, bye." After saying that, Fu Ling hung up the phone first.
Gu Ji looked at his wife and was speechless.
"Let's think about how to discuss the wedding tomorrow." Fu Ling said helplessly. There was nothing she could do if he disagreed. "When they come back tomorrow, don't wear that long face. We've all met Li Shuan. Don't think so badly of him. It's your daughter who's obsessed with him. She's so ashamed to face anyone!"
She was furious when she thought about her daughter's behavior.
Gu neither spoke nor seemed to be thinking.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuan stood in front of it, feeling truly guilty. How could he have been such a bastard?
He had almost no money on him, only sixty-five yuan left.
He couldn't even afford to get married, and for the first time, he felt so powerless.
What's so great about him that makes Qiu Ning so devoted to him?
After much thought, I prepared myself and dialed a number.
"Hello, I'm looking for Comrade Lan Yuchu."
After he finished speaking, the person on the other end told him to wait a moment, and that they would fight back later.
Li Shuan hung up the phone and stood by it, feeling nervous and helpless. At this moment, the only person he could think of to borrow money was Lan Yuchu.
She didn't want to trouble others, but she also didn't want to let Qiu Ning down.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he figured Lan Yuchu must be very busy.
As Lan Yuchu was returning to his unit from home after dinner, he happened to run into someone who was looking for him at the communications room. The person said that someone was looking for him.
He went in, dialed the number back, and was about to pay and leave when the phone rang.
"Hello~ who is that?" Lan Yuchu asked first.
Li Shuan spoke up: "Yu Chu, it is I, Li Shuan."
"Brother Li, what's wrong?" He was a little surprised to hear that it was Li Shuan.
Li Shuan remained silent for a moment, unsure of how to begin, nervously clutching his clothes.
"Have you encountered some difficulties?" Lan Yuchu sensed from his tone that he seemed to have something he was having trouble saying.
Li Shuan blinked a few times and slowly said, "I might be getting married soon, and I don't have that much money on me. I was wondering if you and Qiyue could lend me some?"
The only people he can think of right now are them.
But after I asked, he said, "I may have borrowed a bit too much, and I can't pay it back right away, but I will pay you back as soon as possible."
When Lan Yu first heard that he was borrowing money for his wedding, her mind raced, and she asked, "Are you with Qiu Ning?"
"How did you know?" Li Shuan asked, quite surprised.
Lan Yuchu smiled and said, "The way she looked at you before was strange. Congratulations. I'll discuss how much you plan to borrow with Qiyue when I get back, and I'll transfer it to you tomorrow. It will probably take a few days."
Li Shuan could tell from Yu Chu's tone that he had long expected them to be together.
My anxiety subsided.
"I want to borrow two hundred to buy Qiu Ning some decent things for our wedding. I'll pay you back slowly as things get better." Li Shuan felt that two hundred was already a lot for her.
Lan Yuchu did not hesitate and then said, "Okay, I'll send it back to you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Yu Chu." Li Shuan hadn't expected Lan Yu Chu to agree so readily.
Lan Yuchu realized that Gu Qiuning must have thought about it for a long time before coming to her to borrow money, and that he cared a lot about Gu Qiuning.
"You're too kind. But if you get married now, it might be difficult to support your family with this job." Lan Yuchu thought that Li Shuan's family was indeed in a difficult situation. He remembered that Li Shuan was quite talented in writing. "Brother Li, you had good grades when you were in school and you also liked history. There's a professor at Qingbei University who needs an assistant. You can write a few articles and send them to me, and I'll introduce you to someone."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuan immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Great! I'll write it as soon as I get back and send it to you as soon as possible."
"Yes, no rush. Li Qu is with me now, and he's doing very well. After he finishes training, I'll have him write back to you."
Thinking that Li Shuan had already called, and thinking that Li Qu was very lucky, a young man who was noticed by the army commander after only one month of enlistment.
"That kid Li Qu will have to put in a lot of trouble for you." He was even happier to hear the news about his younger brother.
Lan Yuchu actually wanted to say that Li Qu had been taken a liking to the army commander's daughter, but after thinking about it, he realized that Li Qu might not like her, and he was still young, so he decided to let it go.
"It's nothing, congratulations, Brother Li."
"where!"
Li Shuan said somewhat shyly that he felt a little guilty when he thought about it.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Shuan hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
When he got home, Gu Qiuning was still resting. He thought she should be waking up soon, so he cooked her a bowl of noodles, afraid she would be hungry.
When Li Shuan finished cooking the noodles and came in, Gu Qiuning had already woken up, but she didn't know how to face her older brother Li Shuan.
In addition, she was sore all over, making it very difficult to turn over, and she was also a little shy.
Li Shuan came in and turned on the light. He saw that Gu Qiuning was already awake. He carried a bowl of noodles to the bedside and sat down.
"Have some noodles first. I've boiled some water for you, so you can take a shower later."
Gu Qiuning poked her head out and looked at Li Shuan like a child who had done something wrong.
Their eyes met, and seeing Li Shuan's serious expression, she said with a wronged look, "Brother Li, are you angry?"
Do you think I'm shameless?
She asked the question while crying in distress.
