Chapter 14 Make it up to her
"Your injury..."
Su Xiangwan hadn't forgotten that the man in front of her, who looked strong enough to kill a bull, had a shrapnel lodged near his heart that could cause a fatal problem at any moment!
Gu Yanxiao sighed helplessly and pulled her onto the back of the bicycle: "I'm not that fragile that I can't even ride a bicycle with you. Hold on tight."
As he spoke, Gu Yanxiao stepped on the pedal, and the bicycle started moving.
Seeing this, Su Xiangwan quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes at the waist.
Noticing her movement, Gu Yanxiao's resolute expression remained unchanged, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
This scene was witnessed by Shao Zijie, who was loading Gu Yanxiao's hospital belongings into the jeep. He muttered irritably, "So that's why the regimental commander didn't use the car! He was busy taking his wife on his bike. That's too much!"
Gu Yanxiao didn't ride his bicycle very fast, not because of his physical condition, but because he was considering that Su Xiangwan was pregnant and he was afraid that the ride would make her uncomfortable.
Therefore, as soon as I rode into the military compound, I heard Gu Jianjun's roar, Zhu Cuihua's scream, and Gu Yanni's cries.
The sound of slapping was interspersed throughout.
Su Xiangwan quietly pricked up her ears, listening to the sounds coming from Gu Jianjun's house.
It seems that Gu Jianjun has also realized that this matter can no longer be covered up, so he simply stopped trying to hide it and started to expose it directly.
"Divorce! You bitch, I want a divorce!"
"That way you won't have to sneak around anymore. Just go to jail with Cao Huai-ren and be a loving couple!"
Gu Jianjun's cursing and swearing almost lifted the roof off, and the crisp sound of slaps continued to ring out.
As Su Xiangwan passed Gu Jianjun's house, she craned her neck and peeked inside through the gate.
Then they saw Zhu Cuihua sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled, being slapped by Gu Jianjun.
As for Gu Yanni, she cried and hid to the side, not daring to go forward.
Tsk tsk...
What a loving and harmonious family!
Even without turning his head, Gu Yanxiao could sense Su Xiangwan's amused and fascinated mood.
Therefore, when passing Gu Jianjun's house, I slowed down without making a sound.
Only after Su Xiangwan had thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle in the courtyard did she speed up and drive away.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were used to their daughter-in-law coming back quite late after delivering the food.
In their view, having their daughter-in-law stay in the hospital to spend more time with their son would also allow them to develop a stronger bond.
Therefore, they were all very surprised to see Gu Yanxiao riding a bicycle back with Su Xiangwan.
"Yan Xiao, have you been discharged from the hospital?" Gu's mother greeted him with concern.
"Didn't the doctor say that it would take at least a few more days before I could be discharged?" Mr. Gu asked.
Although they deliberately entrusted the task of delivering meals to Su Xiangwan so that the couple could spend more time together, it did not mean that they were not paying attention to Gu Yanxiao's condition.
"The test results came out ahead of schedule. Since surgery is not an option, there's no need to stay in the hospital any longer; it would be a waste of medical resources."
Although he has been discharged from the army, he still stays in a single hospital room. Since he is not having surgery, it would be better to vacate the room as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Gu's father nodded. His son always acted with discretion and never caused them any worry: "It's good that you're back. Xiang Wan doesn't have to keep going to the hospital anymore and can rest for a few days."
Gu's mother looked at Su Xiangwan with a loving expression: "Xiangwan has worked hard taking care of you these past few days, so you should make it up to her."
"Dad, Mom, I'm just delivering food, it's no trouble at all." Su Xiangwan was a little embarrassed; it wasn't as exaggerated as her parents made it out to be.
"Mom and Dad are right. It's my fault for bringing me food while you're pregnant." Gu Yanxiao looked at Su Xiangwan with a smile.
He had witnessed Su Xiangwan's transformation over the past few days.
Especially now, the fact that she can get along so harmoniously with his parents is something he never dared to dream of before.
"Dad, Mom..."
Just then, Gu Yanfei walked in from outside. When she saw Gu Yanxiao, she was both surprised and delighted, and immediately put down what she was holding: "Brother, you've been discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes, I'm almost fully recovered." Gu Yanxiao looked at the things she put down—some scraps of fabric—and asked, "Why did you buy so much fabric?"
"Mom said that since my sister-in-law is going to be sent down to the countryside with us, we should be fully prepared. These scraps of cloth are the softest cotton fabrics. We can use them to make clothes and diapers for the baby. We should prepare them in advance so that we won't be unable to find such good fabrics when we get to Liaoning Province."
If it were the Gu family of the past, they certainly wouldn't lack these things, but unfortunately, they were all looted by those people from the Tail-Cutting Society.
Su Xiangwan felt a warmth in her heart. The original owner had treated the Gu family so badly, especially Gu Yanfei, who had been bullied quite a bit. But even in the tense moment before being sent down to the countryside, she was still working hard for her child.
"Yan Fei, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanfei blushed, turned her head awkwardly, and stammered, "You...you shouldn't overthink it. I just feel sorry for my nephew."
Seeing her adorable awkwardness, Su Xiangwan chuckled, "Okay, then let the child thank you himself after he's born."
When Gu Yanfei heard her laughter, her neck turned completely red, and she looked like a boiled shrimp.
Seeing their daughter's embarrassed look, Gu's parents chuckled and said, "Alright, we're all family, no need for thanks. Yan Xiao is being discharged from the hospital today, let's make something nice for dinner tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan said, "Then I'll cook with you!"
"No need, no need. You've just gotten back. Go back to your room and rest. Mom will do it." Gu's mother quickly waved her hand.
Su Xiangwan wanted to say something, but Gu Yanxiao pulled her towards the room: "You rest first, I'll go help."
As a result, Gu Yanxiao was sent back to his room to accompany Su Xiangwan as soon as he entered the kitchen.
In the end, the task of assisting fell to Gu Yanfei.
Although we don't have a lot of food at home right now.
But the most precious thing is when the whole family sits together happily.
This stands in stark contrast to Gu Jianjun's side.
"Squeak!" A jeep stopped outside the door, and Shao Zijie walked in carrying large and small bags.
"Why are there so many things?" Gu's father asked, puzzled, looking at the large and small packages that were clearly more than just Gu Yanxiao's hospital luggage.
"Uncle, Aunt," Shao Zijie greeted politely, then replied, "These are some things my parents prepared that you can use after you go to the countryside."
"This..." Gu's father wanted to refuse, but then he saw Shao Zijie put down his things and wink at Gu Yanxiao.
"Dad, Mom, since Zijie has already brought it, let's keep it!" Gu Yanxiao said. As for this favor, he would remember it and find an opportunity to repay it later.
