Su Li said to Li Hua, "You say he's my boyfriend? What proof do you have? I've only met him twice. I didn't accept the things he brought that time, but you insisted on giving them to me. I explained at the time that I'm not familiar with him and he's not my boyfriend. Today I finally realized that those things he gave me last time weren't bought by him; they were sent to me by my boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian knew that the person was Shi Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Li Hua realized that she might have made a mistake, so she explained, "Su Zhiqing, don't be angry. The young man himself said that he was your boyfriend, and you were having a fight with him, which is why you asked me to hand over the things."
Su Li got angry as soon as she heard that; "Whatever he says goes? Then I could say you're having an affair with some random guy outside."
Li Hua panicked; "Su Zhiqing, I was wrong, you can't just say things like that!"
If her husband heard this, he would definitely beat her to death.
Su Li sneered, "Auntie, you know you can't just say things like that. I told you before that I wasn't familiar with him, but because of something someone else said, you almost made me get misunderstood as having an affair. Do you know that saying things like that can kill people?"
Everyone was a little embarrassed at this point.
Upon arriving in town, Gu Huanian instructed Su Li to buy some things at the supply and marketing cooperative, as he had other matters to attend to.
After parting ways with Su Li, Gu Huanian went directly to Shi Yuan's house.
Shi Yuan's mother must have gone out to buy groceries, as he was home alone.
He was somewhat surprised to see Gu Huanian. As soon as Gu Huanian entered the room, she started beating him up without saying a word.
"Shi Yuan, we've been brothers all these years, why did you have to ruin my marriage? Hmm?"
“Gu Huanian, with your good family background, you can find someone better. She is not suitable for you.”
He added in his mind, "She's mine, and no one can take her away."
"I only like Su Li. She has already agreed to be my girlfriend. From now on, I hope you will keep your ulterior motives away from her."
Shi Yuan was shocked and said in disbelief, "What did you say? I won't allow it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Gu Huanian across the face.
Don't all women like his face? Su Li probably does too. He's going to ruin that face today. Once he ruins it, she probably won't be with him anymore!
Shi Yuan desperately slammed the stone at Gu Huanian's face, but Gu Huanian was no pushover either.
The two fought fiercely for a time, neither gaining the upper hand. Although Shi Yuan was quite skilled in combat, he had been away from the military for many years, and compared to Gu Huanian, he was still inferior.
Gu Huanian pinned the man to the ground; "Shi Yuan, I treated you like a brother before, that's why I asked you to help deliver things and letters. But you actually have your eye on your brother's girlfriend, do you think that's right? Huh?"
"She is my Miss Shi. If I hadn't been unable to find her, you wouldn't be in this mess. I won't let go." Shi Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Gu Huanian didn't expect Shi Yuan to be so stubborn and possessive of Su Li so deeply.
He beat the man up badly and said to Shi Yuan, "From now on, we are no longer brothers. If you dare to date my girlfriend, I will not let you off the hook."
After leaving Shi Yuan's courtyard, he went straight to the post office.
I checked the letters he sent a while ago, and as expected, they were all picked up by Shi Yuan.
Gu Huanian went directly to the post office manager and asked, "Don't you need the person to pick up the mail here?"
Upon seeing Gu Huanian, who was dressed in a military overcoat and wore a military uniform underneath, and whose face was bruised but whose aura was still powerful, the newcomer dared not offend him and said with a smile, "Comrade officer, please don't be in a hurry. Let me ask you what happened first."
The post office manager poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Huanian; "Please wait a moment, I'll find out for you right away."
The person in charge quickly learned the whole story: "Comrade, your letter was taken by a comrade named Shi Yuan. He said he was your good brother. You had sent him letters before, and he told me to leave any letters you sent aside and he would come to collect them regularly."
Gu Huanian glanced coldly at the man; "So, you just gave it to him? My recipient is clearly Su Li, are you really blind or not?"
Despite the freezing weather, the post office manager broke out in a cold sweat. This young officer was terrifying. "We'll change it from now on. Mail must be collected in person. Is that alright?"
Gu Huanian was a little angry because their negligence almost caused him to lose Su Li.
"I can let this matter go, but in the future, you must carefully check the recipient on the letter. Don't just give the letter to anyone who claims to know you."
The post office manager nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, don't worry, we won't make that mistake again."
Hearing him say that, Gu Huanian finally felt relieved. He would inevitably have to send letters to Su Li in the future, and it would be really annoying if Shi Yuan took them away again.
After explaining everything, he turned and left the post office.
We headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.
Su Li was thinking of trading a batch of vegetables on the black market. She had accumulated a lot of vegetables before, but now that the weather was cold, she was worried about them.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, fresh and crisp vegetables should sell very well.
As usual, she changed her clothes and went straight to find Lu Shan.
After putting some vegetables in her basket, she knocked on Lu Shan's door.
When Lu Shan opened the door and saw Su Li, his eyes were filled with surprise. The apple from last time had completely cured his wife's chronic illness.
He didn't sell any of those apples; he gave them mostly to the elderly, children, and relatives in his family.
It's amazing! My parents are getting old and their legs and feet are always weak. After eating apples, they don't become as strong as ever, but they are definitely much healthier and more energetic.
