Are you really planning to go back to Beijing for a while?
"yes."
“But Sun Xuelin will arrive tomorrow.”
"What does it matter to me whether he comes or not?"
"Sun Xuelin came here because of Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong's matter."
"I know. He came to deal with the mess that Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong made."
“This is the result he deserves. It was his wife who leaked our information, which led to this situation. It’s only natural that he came here to deal with his disability.”
Gu Sinian knew that his wife was angry with Chen Cuie for never considering her situation, so she asked her cousin and cousin-in-law to come to Beijing to find them.
He genuinely wanted to cure her illness, but he harmed her under the guise of helping others.
It's true that she's been afraid to go out lately.
In the past, military wives didn't dare to point fingers at her in front of her, but now it's different. If they chatter in front of her, it's certain they'll feel uncomfortable.
"So you're planning to go back to the Qin family home in Beijing for a while?"
"Whether it's the Qin family or the Gu family, I believe they would both welcome me."
"After all, Ms. Li Yaxian is no longer taking care of her family, but rather..."
Gu Sinian, looking aggrieved, tugged at Su Ying's hand and pleaded, "What will I do if you leave?"
Su Ying asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, what should we do?"
"What am I going to do if you go back to Beijing for a while? The food in the military is really bad these days. How am I going to eat without your space?"
Su Ying rolled her eyes at the man, "I've never seen you go hungry before I wasn't around."
"It's not that I didn't know you before; this is how things have always been. It's hard to go from luxury to frugality."
She shook off the man's hand and said, "Stop playing the victim. The greenhouse vegetables at the garrison are almost ready for harvest, and the food in the army will improve."
"Only when I thought of this could I feel at ease leaving you behind."
That's true, but I can't bear to part with you.
Su Ying looked unfazed. "Stop giving me that nonsense. I'm just going back to the Qin family for a while to see my grandparents and relax. It's not like I deliberately abandoned you."
"That's for sure. Your spatial items have spoiled my palate, how could I possibly eat the food in the cafeteria?"
After thinking it over, Su Ying came up with a solution: "How about this... I'll leave you all the cured meat, sausages, sauerkraut, salted vegetables, and eggs in my space. That should last you for a while. Once you've finished eating these things, I should come back from my trip to relax."
"But Sun Xuelin resolved the matter as soon as he arrived. Do you really have to go back?"
"Yes. Relaxing is secondary. My grandparents are getting old, and I want to go back and spend time with them. They miss their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so I have to take them back with me. It will only be for half a month at most."
Having said all that, Gu Sinian had no intention of stopping him.
"Then remember to come back in half a month."
"Okay, okay."
...
When Sun Xuelin arrived at Beijing Railway Station, Gu Sinian personally came to pick him up.
Sun Xuelin was incredibly excited when he saw Gu Sinian.
"You... came to pick me up in person, I'm so embarrassed."
Gu Sinian rolled his eyes at the other person, "What are you thinking? You don't have that much influence with me."
What do you mean?
"I just sent my wife home to stay for a while, and I'll pick you up on the way back so as not to waste the resources of the station."
Sun Xuelin, who was initially very happy, felt very sad upon hearing these words from his former good friend.
"Is it necessary to be so serious? I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me."
"No. Do you know how hard my wife has been lately? The situation in Beijing is different from that in Dongshi."
“There are reasons why my wife doesn’t want treatment. What’s the deal with you having Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong come directly to the station?”
"Make her admit on the spot that she knows medicine, even if she doesn't have a medical license. Do you know how much trouble that would cause us?"
Sun Xuelin was so ashamed that he said, "I really didn't know about this. After I finished talking to Comrade Su on the phone that day, I gave up on the idea because she didn't agree. But I didn't expect that Cui'e would give Su Xiaofang's address directly."
"I didn't expect them to be so bold as to come to our door directly. Actually, since the couple came all the way here, it would have been fine for Su Zhiqing to help with the treatment. There was no need to make it like this."
Gu Sinian got furious when he heard this, and his foot on the gas pedal paused, and he also stepped on the brake.
"What do you mean by that? Are you blaming everything on my wife?"
"I did not mean that."
"Then what do you mean? She shouldn't have been so kind as to save you two in the first place. Now things have turned out like this. Do you know what people are saying about her behind her back?"
“She hides at home every day, afraid to go out, for fear of facing those malicious comments.”
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation. Do you know that there are recordings in the meeting room? You want to kill my whole family."
Sun Xuelin hadn't expected things to be so serious. He thought Su Zhiqing was heartless, but he never imagined there was a recording in the meeting room.
"I have no idea……"
“Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean you can slander people at will. Your wife should have given us a heads-up before sending someone to our post, instead of bringing up her rescue as soon as they met and even kneeling on the ground begging. How are we supposed to face all the gossip after that?”
“Our family’s identity is very sensitive… You’ve really caused a lot of trouble… Go over there immediately to clarify things and give my wife justice.”
"I will."
Gu Sinian was still angry and focused on driving, having no intention of communicating with Sun Xuelin.
Sun Xuelin didn't want to lose Gu Sinian as a friend. He had heard that Gu Sinian was now a brigade commander and had a bright future ahead of him.
Although Tokyo and Kyoto are quite far apart, this connection might not be useful now, but having important figures as connections might come in handy in the future.
We absolutely cannot lose it like this.
"Actually, my wife meant well but did something wrong. Su, the educated youth, saved our lives, so he is our savior. But I never expected that giving him an address would lead to so many problems."
“You’re all too hasty. My wife isn’t the cold-blooded type. She refused on the spot just to protect herself.”
“When the time is right, she will try to get Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong treated, but now that things have turned out like this, my wife hates them so much, how could she possibly lend a helping hand?”
"It was because I didn't explain the reasons to my wife that things got to this point and couldn't be taken back."
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
They've already lowered their stance so much, and besides, the eldest sister's family is still in Liushu Village. We can't afford to break off relations and cause unnecessary trouble for her.
“This is a one-time exception. My wife is still angry, and I can’t convince her to forgive you.”
"It's alright. It's understandable that Su Zhiqing is angry. It's all our fault for putting her in the spotlight."
