Chapter 116 This condition is really tempting
Luo Yongnian naturally understood the principle of fighting for what he wanted; otherwise, coming from a humble background, he wouldn't have reached his current position. Originally, after being rejected by Gu Yimin, he wanted to let it go. He couldn't do the thing of being so persistent with a girl.
But last night he thought a lot. He was now alone. What was the purpose of his hard work and climb in the army? Yes, to defend his country. Apart from this, he seemed to have nothing else.
If he had to suppress his emotions, he would be nothing more than a cold machine. He didn't want to live that kind of life.
Just now, when he saw Gu Yimin at the entrance of the alley, he felt his heart beating violently again. It was excitement and yearning, just like when he went to the battlefield. At that moment, he once again made it clear that he really wanted this girl and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
Seeing Luo Yongnian roll up his sleeves and look like he really wanted to help with the cooking, Wang Yueju felt it would be awkward to refuse, so she said, "Then make dumplings. I'll go buy some meat."
As she spoke, she went out with the vegetable basket. Gu Jianguo took out the green onions and Luo Yongnian peeled the onions with him.
"I feel really sorry for Comrade Gu Yimin because of something I did before," Luo Yongnian told Gu Jianguo about his plan to fake a marriage with Tong Lu. "Zhou Cheng and I joined the army at the same time. We were in the same squad when we were in the recruit company. Later, we were promoted to squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander together.
Before going to the battlefield, he told me he wanted to strive for meritorious service and a promotion. I knew he was doing it so he could marry Tong Lu. He died saving Zhuang Xueming, in my arms. Before he died, he told me Tong Lu was pregnant and begged me to take care of them, and I agreed.
Luo Yongnian spoke calmly, but Gu Jianguo knew he must be deeply distressed. He had also served in the military and fought on the battlefield, so he could understand Luo Yongnian's feelings at the time. Brothers who had experienced life and death together were truly closer than blood brothers.
Gu Jianguo didn't know how to comfort him, so he reached out and patted his shoulder.
"After returning from the battlefield, I went to see Tong Lu and told her to let me know if she needed any help. Later, she proposed a fake marriage to me to give the child a legitimate identity. Her parents had never approved of her relationship with Zhou Cheng, and since Zhou Cheng had died, they were even less likely to let Tong Lu keep the child.
I thought at the time that I didn't have a partner and that just getting a marriage certificate wouldn't be a big deal, so I agreed. I didn't expect so many things to happen later, nor did I expect that Comrade Gu Yimin would be involved."
Gu Jianguo didn't comment on his words. What could he say? He had good intentions, but the other two people had messed things up and turned things into a bad thing.
However, this view is only based on the fact that Luo Yongnian has no relationship with Yimin.
After Luo Yongnian finished speaking, he peeled two scallions in silence and said, "Thinking about it now, I did handle this matter a little inappropriately."
He turned his head and looked at Gu Jianguo seriously and said, "I know I have many shortcomings. For example, I am divorced. This is a fact that cannot be changed. But apart from this one thing I cannot change, I can change everything else for Comrade Yimin.
My parents passed away young, my grandmother passed away last year, and I have an uncle who I barely see anymore. I'm completely alone. I'm willing to treat Comrade Yimin's home as my own. They say a son-in-law is half a son, and I can be a whole son.
Luo Yongnian knew that the biggest difference between him and Ye Chi was their background. Ye Chi was the son of a military family, a son of a military family from the Kyoto Military District, while his family had been farmers for generations.
However, this can also be his advantage. After he and Gu Yimin get married, they can live in the Gu family. He can treat the Gu family as his own home. Can Ye Chi do that?
Not to mention that he couldn't do this, even the twists and turns in the rich and powerful families were a headache. They were not a good match, so even if Ye Chi was very capable, could he block other people's gazes on Gu Yimin?
Gu Jianguo understood what he meant and fell in love with Yimin. He was willing to change his bad habits for Yimin and become Yimin's son-in-law.
Of course, the term "son-in-law who lives with the wife's family" sounds a bit unpleasant, but it should mean something similar.
To be honest, the second point is what really attracted Gu Jianguo. He has no sons, and although he is content with four daughters, no matter how capable a woman is, she is still different from a man and there is a natural gap.
For example, when something goes wrong and he needs to fight someone physically, having a son makes a whole different story, especially a son like Luo Yongnian. Just like having Xueqiang at home made him feel at ease staying in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for such a long time.
With a capable and steady son supporting them, the four sisters feel more secure.
Moreover, marrying off a daughter is completely different from marrying off a son-in-law. A daughter will never suffer any loss in her own family.
Of course, Luo Yongnian would not let them marry in, but the young couple could definitely live in their house after marriage.
This condition is really tempting!
but……
"Yongnian," Gu Jianguo said seriously, "things are different now than they were before. It's all about parental orders and matchmaker's words. My opinion isn't important. What's important is Yimin."
"I understand. I'm just expressing my stance to you and Comrade Yimin."
Luo Yongnian naturally understood that Gu Yimin was the key, and his previous words were intended to dispel Gu Jianguo's prejudice against him, such as his divorce and the fact that they had almost had a fake marriage.
As long as Gu Jianguo doesn't become a hindrance to him.
Gu Jianguo patted Luo Yongnian's shoulder again. Although he didn't say anything, Luo Yongnian knew that he should have no objection to him.
At this time, Wang Yueju came back with the meat. Luo Yongnian stood up and took the meat. After washing it, he took it to the chopping board and started chopping the meat.
He was quick and strong, and soon the whole piece of meat was reduced to minced meat. Seeing that Wang Yueju had washed the cabbage and green onions, he took them and chopped them into the meat.
"You really know how to chop meat." Wang Yueju said with a smile.
Luo Yongnian kept moving his hands as he said, "When I was a child, my grandma made dumplings and I was the one who chopped the filling, but it wasn't meat at that time."
When he said that, Wang Yueju recalled the hard-pressed days in the past. "That's right. Back then, we didn't use meat when making dumplings. Adding two eggs was considered good. Back then, every family had a hard time..."
Wang Yueju talked about the past while chatting with her. Luo Yongnian spoke little but listened attentively, occasionally even joining in the middle of a sentence.
When Gu Siqing returned home from school, she saw her mother talking with a smile on her face while rolling out the dumpling wrappers, while her father and a tall man were making dumplings while listening.
"It's time to go home from school," Wang Yueju said to Gu Siqing, "We're making dumplings for lunch today. Oh, this is your brother Luo."
Gu Siqing smiled at Luo Yongnian, "Hello, Brother Luo."
Is this Luo Yongnian?
He was pretty good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although not as good-looking as Ye Chi, he was not bad either. His temperament was completely different from Ye Chi's. Ye Chi was gentle and elegant, while Luo Yongnian was cold and solemn.
Luo Yongnian knew a little about the Gu family and guessed that this was Gu Yimin's youngest sister, so he smiled at Gu Siqing and said, "Hello."
Gu Siqing put down her schoolbag, washed her hands, picked up a dumpling wrapper and was about to make dumplings, but Comrade Wang Yueju snatched the wrapper away and said, "It will be ready soon. You don't have to make them. No one will want to eat ugly dumplings. Go get the lunch box and take it to your sister and the others later."
Gu Siqing curled her lips. She didn't want such personal attacks.
