Chapter 245 The Freeloader
As soon as she walked out of the bookstore, a thin child ran up to Su Ying. The child stared at the bottle in her hand and asked her with his head tilted up.
"Sister, do you still want this soda bottle?"
Su Ying took a look at it herself and handed it to him.
"No, I'll give it to you."
The child's eyes sparkled with surprise, and he took the bottle and ran away.
Su Ying smiled. There was a primary school nearby. Judging from the child's clothes, he might go to school nearby.
When Su Ying returned home, Gu Jinghong had not come back yet. He was laying cement in the yard at Zhang Su's house.
Su Ying asked in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Su's hands were covered in dirt, he wiped them on his body, looked at Su Ying a little depressed and said, "Oh."
"Master Gu said we need to plant more vegetables, but this plot of land is too small."
Su Ying said "oh" and walked straight into the house.
Zhang Su stared blankly at her back, muttering in his heart, you two are so mean, do you really think of me as your family's coolie?
But the next moment, Su Ying handed him a bottle of soda.
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhang. Have a drink, it's quite cold."
Zhang Su's dissatisfaction finally dissipated a little, and after drinking the soda, he had more energy to work.
"I'm going to cook."
Su Ying stood up and prepared to go into the kitchen.
"etc"
Zhang Su quickly swallowed the soda in his mouth and said quickly.
"Commander Gu said we don't have to cook today and he wants to take us out to eat. He has booked a restaurant."
Su Ying pursed her lips, walked back into the house, and stood in front of the window, feeling a little melancholy.
Her vacation is almost over, so she has to book the ticket tomorrow and take the bus the day after tomorrow. Adding the time on the road, she will have to go to work when she returns.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinghong and Du Feng came back. What Su Ying didn't expect was that Liu Yunshi and Zhou Yichen also came in with them.
When they saw Su Ying, the two men were not as arrogant and rude as they were the first time, but politely called her sister-in-law.
However, Su Ying clearly saw the difficulty they were having in speaking, and it was obvious that they were speaking reluctantly.
Gu Jinghong walked towards Su Ying with a cane, and Liu Yunshi subconsciously reached out to support him.
"Brother Jinghong, be careful."
Gu Jinghong reacted very quickly and dodged his arm. He walked to Su Ying with a smile, put his arms around her shoulders, and pressed half of his body on her.
"Wife, your feet are tired from walking, let me lean on you."
Su Ying looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Gu Jinghong said with a guilty laugh.
"I really didn't ask them to come. I invited you to dinner because you said you wanted to eat meat yesterday, so I thought of taking you to eat roast duck. Who knew these two people would actually come today, saying they came to see me. You said, it's not easy to just send them away, so... Wife, if you really don't like them, then let them go eat somewhere else?"
Although Gu Jinghong didn't speak loudly, he knew that Liu Yunshi and Zhou Yichen were right next to them.
Gu Jinghong said this so openly in front of them, and the two of them looked very excited, especially Liu Yunshi.
She now clearly realized the difference in status between herself and Su Ying and Gu Jinghong, so she was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that reality would still be so hurtful.
She was very sad, but didn't want to leave.
Ever since Gu Jinghong returned to the capital, she had always wanted to come, but she was not allowed to enter the military compound, especially since Gu Jinghong clearly said he did not want to see her, so she never came.
This time, she dared to come see him because Zhou Yichen was with him, and Gu Jinghong also agreed. She was so happy.
However, she only now understood why Gu Jinghong let them in. It turned out that since Su Ying was here, he was not afraid that she would misunderstand him.
Su Ying supported Gu Jinghong's body. She was angry but couldn't vent it. Especially when she saw Gu Jinghong's innocent and pious expression, she lost her temper even more.
"They came to see you. There's no point in kicking them out. Let's go eat together. However, I don't want roast duck. I want Sichuan cuisine."
