With Wan Tao around, she's practically the political commissar's wife. If Wan Tao gets promoted, her status will rise along with him!
When she goes back to her parents' home, everyone there has to treat her well and try to please her!
But once Wan Tao died, she was nothing.
She has to leave!
She's so young, why should she stay and take care of Wan Tao's mother and two sons?
What's more, she and this wicked mother-in-law didn't get along at all, and if they continued to live together, they would fight every day.
And those two ungrateful wretches, she has no intention of raising someone else's son!
So, regardless of whether the leader was present or not, Gu Siyu suddenly raised her hand and slapped it back hard.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Aunt Wan sat down with a thud and burst into tears again. "I can't live like this anymore! My son is dead, and now my daughter-in-law dares to beat and scold me. How am I going to live like this?"
Zhang Zhongwu and the others felt utterly exhausted.
Before Zhang Zhongwu could say anything, Gu Siyu looked at him and said firmly, "Commander, as you can see, she and I don't get along at all. We can't live together. I'm not the kind of person who can be so kind and loving. These two children aren't mine, so I can't raise them willingly."
Besides, if anything happens to them while they're with me, everyone will only think I'm a wicked stepmother. I don't want to live like that. I don't want a single penny of the compensation or subsidies you give me; I'll keep it all for them. All I need is a job so I can survive.
Zhang Zhongwu pursed his lips, his expression grim.
Although Gu Siyu revealed her selfishness, he had to admit that what she said made some sense.
Wan Tao is dead, and Gu Siyu is still young. How can they expect Gu Siyu to stay by Wan Tao's side for the rest of her life, to take care of Wan Tao's mother until her death, and to raise Wan Tao's son!
He was angry because Gu Siyu was too quick to abandon him after using him. No matter what, she and Wan Tao were husband and wife. Even if she wanted to leave, shouldn't she at least stay with Wan Tao for a year or two first?
For a moment, Zhang Zhongwu didn't know what to say.
Just then, Aunt Wan also cried herself to sleep. Zhang Zhongwu helped her up again. She walked to the two crying children and said to Zhang Zhongwu, "Commander, let her go. I'll take care of my grandson myself. I really don't feel at ease with her here!"
Gu Siyu is too cold-blooded. Since she said she doesn't want the compensation or subsidies, then let her go.
To prevent her from continuing to share the pensions and subsidies with them, the orphans and widows, later on.
She, an old woman, was no match for Gu Siyu.
Seeing that Aunt Wan had said so, and that Gu Siyu was determined to leave, Zhang Zhongwu couldn't say anything.
He closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay, I'll find you a job in the capital."
...
The news that He Yanzhi was seriously injured and Wan Tao was missing and presumed dead has spread throughout the family compound.
At this moment, Guan Wenru was leaning against the headboard, her face was a little pale, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
She gently patted her eldest child, who had just finished feeding, to help him burp. Meanwhile, her second and youngest babies woke up in their cradles, babbling softly.
Grandma Guan and Baiyun sat by the bed, one holding a rattle to amuse Erbao, and the other holding a cloth tiger to attract Xiaobao in the cradle.
Guan Wenru couldn't help but think that Wan Tao in her previous life hadn't disappeared or sacrificed himself.
In this life, was it because of her rebirth that a butterfly effect occurred, causing everyone's fate to change?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
If things change, will He Yanzhi really be able to come back safely?
Seeing her granddaughter's furrowed brows and worried face, Guan Wanxin sighed inwardly.
She shook the rattle drum, deliberately making her voice light and cheerful, "My dear Erbao, look at Great-Grandma! Ding-ding-dang-dang, doesn't it sound nice? Oh my, you're smiling! Our Erbao is so clever!"
Baiyun waved the cloth tiger in front of Xiaobao's eyes, imitating a tiger's roar, "Roar~ Roar~ The little tiger is coming! Xiaobao, look here! Let's see who catches the little tiger first, you or your auntie!"
Hearing their voices, Guan Wenru forced a smile.
Guan Wanxin put down the rattle drum and gently patted Guan Wenru's hand. "Don't always frown. You have to believe Yan Zhi. He's tough! He's survived so many gunfights. This little injury will heal with rest! You have to take care of yourself and these three little devils. That's the important thing!"
Baiyun chimed in, "That's right, sis! Look how well-behaved Dabao is! Hug him and kiss him more, and you'll feel more at ease! Don't think too much, your husband will definitely be fine!"
Guan Wenru forced a smile. "I know."
She couldn't feel at ease if she didn't hear He Yanzhi's voice for a day.
...
Two days later, Guan Wenru had just returned home from get off work. After washing her hands and changing her clothes, she picked up her eldest child and was about to breastfeed him.
The telephone in the living room rang urgently!
Guan Wanxin and Bai Yun were both stunned. They looked at each other, and their eyes instantly lit up with hope.
Guan Wenru also tensed up!
Guan Wanxin reacted the fastest, standing up abruptly. "I'll go answer it! It must be Yan Zhi!"
As she spoke, she rushed into the living room.
Guan Wenru's heart clenched suddenly, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Da Bao's hand.
Da Bao squirmed uncomfortably, his little mouth twitched, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Baiyun quickly took Dabao from her arms.
A moment later, Grandma Guan's excited voice came from the living room, "Hello?...Is this Yan Zhi?!...Oh! It really is you!...Good, good, good! We're all fine!...Wait here! Wen Ru is in the room! I'll let her answer the phone!"
Guan Wenru had already rushed into the living room, and Guan Wanxin immediately shoved the phone into her hand, "Quick! Wenru! It's Yanzhi! He's calling! He's alright! He can make phone calls now!"
