Chapter 230 I Will Definitely Seek Justice for My Sister-in-law
Gu Yanli understood with a look of understanding, "With so many people, it's inevitable that there will be two termites."
But he also said, "Just thinking about the humiliating treatment of their family members, we can't help but feel cold outside."
Gu Yanli's eyes were red as he spoke, "I was thinking about how I was out there fighting for the country, my wife was being beaten and kicked on the ground, and my 60-year-old mother was kneeling on the ground begging them to show mercy..."
Gu Yanli felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't continue speaking.
Wei Hongtao sympathized with him and said, "Don't be sad. How can we let our soldiers bleed and cry?"
"Don't worry, if you trust me about this matter, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Gu Yanli raised his head and said, "I naturally believe in the old captain."
"Just believe it. If you believe it, leave it to me."
As they were talking, Wang Zhihua came over with a stove and some processed rabbit meat.
Wei Hongtao patted his hands and said, "Leave it to me. I will give you an explanation later."
"Let's not talk about anything else now, let's eat."
"Try this rabbit you brought."
"It's snowing heavily. Thanks to you, I also have this blessing."
Gu Yanli only said, "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are still the best."
Wei Hongtao also agreed with this, "Yes, yes, your sister-in-law's cooking skills are impeccable."
Wang Zhihua felt embarrassed and said to Wei Hongtao with a smile, "Don't brag about yourself like a Wang Po selling melons."
After that, she put away the dishes and chopsticks, brought two more dishes, some washed vegetables, and some wine, and said, "You guys eat, and tell me if there's not enough food."
Gu Yanli asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to eat with us?"
Wang Zhihua waved her hand and said, "There's some in the kitchen. My child and I will eat in the kitchen. It's warmer there."
"Eat, both of you!"
Wei Hongtao also said, "We both drank and ate slowly."
Gu Yanli didn't say anything else.
He sat down with Wei Hongtao, and after two glasses of wine, Wei Hongtao began to persuade him, "Brother, if you really want to treat me as your brother, just listen to my advice."
Gu Yanli clinked the wine glass in his hand with his to show that he would listen.
Wei Hongtao took a sip and continued, "You are now a battalion commander. If you continue to stay, you can at least become a regular regiment commander in the end, no matter how high you are promoted." Wei Hongtao couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "A regular regiment commander, but you can't be promoted later. You turned back, and you turned back now, that's not the same thing!"
"When you come back, I'm afraid all of us will call you leader."
Gu Yanli immediately held the wine glass in both hands and touched it, "You are joking!"
Wei Hongtao took another sip and said with a smile, "To be honest."
"It's really not worthwhile for you to turn back now."
Gu Yanli raised his glass and clinked it with Wei Hongtao's. His voice was choked with sobs and his eyes were red. "If my family hadn't been bullied, I..."
He was choking with sobs and couldn't continue.
Wei Hongtao quickly raised his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him, and cursed those people at the same time, "These idiots are really lawless."
"How dare you bully my sister-in-law? Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for her."
"As long as you trust me."
"Do you believe me?" Wei Hongtao asked with a red face.
He had only had a few drinks but his face was already turning red.
Gu Yanli wiped his eyes, raised his glass and clinked it with his. "Believe it, even if others don't, I still believe you, Captain."
After that, the two of them clinked glasses several times in a row.
When Gu Yanli walked, he could hardly walk steadily.
Wei Hongtao was not in much better condition either. He collapsed on the sofa at home and couldn't get up.
Wang Zhihua urged Gu Yanli to rest for a night before leaving, but Gu Yanli refused to agree and told Wang Zhihua dazedly, "Go back and pack your things. You have to go back to the army in the next two days."
Fortunately, the snow has subsided.
Gu Yanli got on his bike and left without asking Wang Zhihua to see him off, asking her to go back and take care of Wei Hongtao.
Gu Yanli left in the snow. Wang Zhihua returned to the house and helped the collapsed Wei Hongtao back to the house, complaining, "It would be fine if you just drank a little. Why did you have to drink yourself into this state? Tell me what you want!"
Wei Hongtao just smiled and said, "You have to drink, you have to drink..."
Although Wei Hongtao was lying there, he stood up after being helped by Wang Zhihua, and went into the house with Wang Zhihua, smiling.
Wang Zhihua helped the man onto the bed, ran some hot water, and wiped his hands and face before asking, "What is he doing here?"
Wei Hongtao lay there dazed, "How do you know I'm here for something?"
Wang Zhihua laughed, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"I've been with you for so many years."
"If I came to see you normally, I would buy some canned food and wine."
"He even specially prepared wild goods to come here, so he must be in trouble."
Wei Hongtao nodded and huddled into the quilt. "Yes, something happened. Was his wife bullied by those who investigated speculation at home?"
"You decide this? How do you decide this?"
"No, it was just a misunderstanding. Those people wanted to make some money."
"Besides, Yan Li is now the battalion commander!"
"Hoo~" As the words fell, a deafening snoring sound was heard.
Wang Zhihua was so angry that she stamped her feet. "It's really a bottle of water."
It was indeed a one-time drinking spree. The two of them drank more than two bottles of white wine.
Fortunately, Gu Yanli was not that drunk.
I drank quite a bit, and rode my bike home in the snow. The road was difficult to navigate. Although I said I was riding, most of the time I was pushing the bike home, which was quite painful.
When Gu Yanli got home, it was already dark.
The shoes on his feet were completely wet.
When I went to Wei Hongtao's house in the morning, I was half wet, and now I'm completely wet on the way back.
And when we were almost home, the snow stopped and it started to drizzle.
So even my clothes got wet.
By the time he pushed his bike home, his chin was dripping with water.
As soon as I took off my hat, heat came out of my head.
His miserable appearance made the whole family feel distressed.
Wen Tang felt so distressed that he ran to pour hot water and get dry clothes.
Zhong Meixian was so distressed that she cursed and went to boil some water.
Soak your feet and hands in hot water first, then change into dry clothes.
Gu Juyuan lit a brazier for him and asked him to wash his hair and take a bath.
After washing and changing, it was already dark.
Zhong Meixian was still cursing, "They said it was snowing heavily, so we should go the next day. Why did you insist on saying that now is the perfect time to go?"
"What's the matter? Are you looking for trouble?"
Gu Yanli didn't say anything, but just asked, "What are you eating tonight?"
"I didn't eat much at noon."
Although there was a pot of rabbit meat and two meat dishes, he only blanched some vegetables to eat.
I drank so much alcohol that my stomach is churning like it's at war.
"You brought back so many wild animals, what else can you eat?"
Although Zhong Meixian was harsh in her words, she still asked Gu Juyuan to boil water, pluck the wild duck, and stew a pot of wild duck soup and eat some pancakes in the evening.
Wen Tang sat next to Gu Yanli, roasted a hot sweet potato for him to warm his hands, and asked, "Where does your comrade live?"
"Why are your clothes all wet?"
“It’s a bit far!”
"Then why didn't you stay overnight before coming back? It was raining and snowing..." Wen Tang felt very distressed.
Gu Yanli looked so pitiful when he came back. His nose, cheeks, and hands were all red, as if he was frozen.
