"Simply kicking them out might lead to endless troubles later."
Wang Qiaohui is quite cunning. After being humiliated by leaving the brigade and forced to marry Lai San, the fire of revenge in her heart is probably about to ignite her.
Then there's Wang Dashu, that domestic abuser, a piece of shit in his head. He'll charge into battle the moment Wang Qiaohui instigates him.
"That's all we can do for now."
My uncle was also considering the reputation of all the unmarried girls in the brigade.
If this gets out, which young man from which brigade would dare to date a girl from the brigade with such a bad reputation? Are they going to switch to domestic relationships?
"They've already been kicked out?"
Ruan Qiushui had something on her mind.
"Yes, we just took the side road and left the main group."
She had personally witnessed Wang Qiaohui wearing two worn-out shoes around her neck, and her aunt throwing rotten vegetable leaves and pebbles at her. It was incredibly satisfying.
"Xiaoxiao, you should go home first. I want to take a nap now."
Ruan Qiushui made an excuse to send Gu Xiaoxiao away, then turned around, dressed, and left the brigade.
Ruan Qiushui walked along the path, hoping to find traces of Wang Qiaohui and the other two, but unexpectedly saw the three Gu brothers.
The three brothers, looking rather simple-minded, each carried a burlap sack and moved stealthily. It seemed they were preparing to harm Wang Qiaohui and her two companions.
Ruan Qiushui looked at the stun gun in her hand, gave up her thoughts, and turned back to the brigade.
The weather remained calm for five days.
Ruan Qiushui shuttles back and forth between the small workshop and the health clinic every day.
In the past five days, the workshop's staff has grown from five to ten. Daily supplies have also surged from one thousand to five thousand.
Her medical skills were also recognized by the members of the brigade.
That afternoon, after seeing her last patient, Ruan Qiushui was about to go to the Gu family's house for dinner when she heard the roar of a car engine from afar, followed by the chatter of the aunties.
"It's stopped. It's parked in front of Gu Lao Er's house."
"Oh my! It's Gu Changfeng from Gu Lao Er's family, coming back in a car. How impressive!"
"Oh dear, why is Gu Changfeng in a sling and using a cane?"
"Poor thing, your hand is broken and your leg is crippled too."
"How can Gu Lao Er's family possibly stand this? And what about Ruan Zhiqing? What are we going to do?"
Gu Changfeng is back, but he's injured!
Ruan Qiushui's calm was shattered, and she immediately ran towards Gu Changfeng's house.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I didn't take good care of Changfeng and I've let you down."
Gu Changfeng's former superior got out of the car, saluted Gu Guangrong, and looked full of guilt.
It's upsetting for anyone to send a perfectly healthy child to the army only to have them come back like this.
"Why."
Gu Guangrong felt terrible and couldn't utter a single word of those high-sounding words.
"My son, my son, you have suffered."
Xie Xiuying felt extremely distressed when she saw Gu Changfeng's hands wrapped in bandages and his limping leg.
Damn God, why did she let her son suffer such a calamity?
"This is the demobilization pay that the army gave to Changfeng, as well as a replacement job for him. Please accept it."
"If you need anything in the future, or if you need any help, just give us a call. We will do our best to help you."
The old leader bowed to Gu Guangrong and Xie Xiuying.
Gu Changfeng made a huge sacrifice for this mission; without him, the mission would not have succeeded.
This is what he deserves, and what they owe him.
"Changfeng, I hope you can cheer up soon and shine in your new position."
The old leader patted Gu Changfeng on the shoulder reassuringly, and a lump formed in his throat.
With his face devoid of luster, Gu Changfeng had lost his previous high spirits, and his wooden, weathered face revealed a trace of resentment.
The troops he poured his sweat and blood into, the troops he cherished with hope and ambition, had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Boss, take care! We'll come see you when we're on vacation!"
"Boss, you will always be our boss."
The eighth and ninth brothers placed the gifts entrusted to them by their comrades at the Gu family's door, stood beside Gu Changfeng, and wiped away their tears.
If the leader hadn't been covering for them, he wouldn't have been hit by an enemy grenade and ended up like this.
Their elite squad owes their leader a life.
"It's getting late, we should go now."
There are still many things waiting for him to resolve.
Gu Changfeng remained silent until the car drove away, then put down his cane and saluted.
"So, Gu Changfeng is disabled and has been discharged from the army?"
"Oh dear, my hands and feet are so clumsy now, I can't even farm anymore."
"Looks like the Gu family is going to have to support a useless person."
…
"Damn it, I'll beat you all to death, you bunch of foul-mouthed, black-hearted old women! You spout nonsense at my doorstep, I'll skin you alive!"
Xie Xiuying was already in a state of grief, and these gossipy women dared to make sarcastic remarks on her painful situation, picking up brooms from the yard and attacking her indiscriminately.
"Get out, all of you get out. Our Gu family is not for you to laugh at."
“If you say another word about my third brother, I’ll punch you all to death.”
Gu Changjiang, with his two younger brothers, followed behind their mother, driving away the onlookers.
"Third son, come here, let your father help you inside."
Gu Guangrong swallowed the bitterness in his heart, stepped forward, picked up his cane, and wanted to help Gu Changfeng.
"I am not a useless person."
Gu Changfeng dodged Gu Guangrong's hand, limped back to his room, and locked the door.
"Ruan girl, you've arrived?"
Xie Xiuying was somewhat at a loss when she saw Ruan Qiushui approaching.
If Ruan Yatou saw her third son like this, would she still like him?
"Auntie, where is Changfeng? I want to see him."
On her way there, Ruan Qiushui had already heard everyone's discussion and learned about Gu Changfeng's crippled hand and leg.
"Hey! Changfeng's inside. I'll take you there."
Xie Xiuying led Ruan Qiushui to Gu Changfeng's door, then turned and left, leaving the two of them alone.
The third brother is probably not good enough for Ruan Yatou now. If Ruan Yatou were to break up with him, she wouldn't complain at all.
"Gu Changfeng, are you there?"
Ruan Qiushui stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
"Gu Changfeng, open the door! What kind of man locks himself in there? Hiding like this, are you even a man?"
"If you don't open the door, I'll kick it."
Ruan Qiushui pressed her ear against the door, but there was still no response from inside.
"Fine, you won't open the door, huh? Then I'm really going to kick it down."
Ruan Qiushui took two steps back and kicked the door.
"Bang!"
"Ouch! It hurts so much, my foot is broken."
Ruan Qiushui plopped down on the ground, clutching her right ankle and crying out in pain.
"Ruan girl, what's wrong?"
Hearing the commotion, Xie Xiuying quickly went forward.
"Shh!"
Ruan Qiushui put her index finger to her lips, winked at Xie Xiuying, and then pointed to Gu Changfeng's door.
