Fifty yuan is not a small amount of money. Su Niannian doesn’t even know how frugal Wang Guifen has to be to save enough money.
She immediately called Xiangyang Village. The captain who received the letter hurried to the Su family to call for help. After Su Jianshan left, Wang Guifen no longer pretended to be lame. After about ten minutes, she called again, and her tone was as gentle as ever.
"My goodness! Why did you think of calling grandma? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I've been preparing a blanket for the baby in your belly. I'll bring it to you when you're about to give birth. It's a blessing and a good omen!"
As soon as Wang Guifen opened her mouth, Su Niannian wanted to cry.
Emotions during pregnancy are really out of control. She tried to raise her head, forced back the tears, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma, two months ago, did the eldest brother of the Gu family come to look for you?!"
"Who?! I don't know this person..." Wang Guifen's voice became inexplicably softer, revealing a hint of guilt.
"There's nothing to hide, grandma. The fifty yuan couldn't satisfy his greed. He came to the northwest to find me and asked for two hundred yuan. He said that Gu Zhiye's sister-in-law was in poor health and needed the money to save her life.
Why didn't you discuss it with me when he approached you? You just gave him fifty dollars. Where did you get the money? Do you want me to worry to death? Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Don't interfere in the Gu family's affairs in the future. I will mail the fifty dollars to you."
Su Niannian's voice was relatively calm and clear, and the first thing she did was to defend her family.
But Wang Guifen on the other end of the phone was anxious: "Oh my! Why did this damn guy find you? Be good, listen to what grandma told you, no matter how much he wants, you must not give it. At first I thought your sister-in-law was really sick, but after giving her the money, I thought more and more that something was wrong, so I asked your second uncle to take a long way to Lianhua Village to inquire.
"Little Gu's elder brother and his wife are fine, they are getting a divorce! They say he got into the bad habit of gambling in the neighboring farm. You see, this guy is idle all day and has these bad habits. He is really embarrassing for his father. How can a good bamboo produce bad shoots?!"
"gamble?!"
"Yes, it's true. Don't be fooled by him!" As Wang Guifen finished her words, Su Niannian's eyes on the other end of the phone turned cold.
The moment she hung up the phone, Gao Shanyue walked in through the door. Their eyes met, and Gao Shanyue frowned and asked, "What's going on? Is that guy really the brother of Deputy Headmaster Gu?"
"Not really."
Su Niannian told Gao Shanyue the whole cause and effect, and the latter rolled up his sleeves decisively after listening. It is said that the fierce ones are afraid of the violent ones, and the violent ones are afraid of the desperate ones!
Gao Shanyue threatened that if the other party dared to set foot in the art troupe again, she would beat him to a pulp. If he dared to lie to the military wife, he would be tired of living! Even if he was Deputy Head Gu's brother, she would beat him up. She, Gao Shanyue, had never been afraid of anyone!
…
Because of Gao Shanyue's instructions, the patrolling soldiers opened their eyes wide and did not let Gu Shutong get any closer to the art troupe.
Su Niannian took the time to call Gu Zhiye and informed him of the situation. The other party gave a positive answer and told Su Niannian not to worry about it and that he would take care of it.
Two days later,
Unexpectedly, Gu Shutong suddenly changed his identity and came in under a different identity. While Chen Niannian was taking measurements for a member of the art troupe, he walked in. Chen Niannian pretended to be a peacemaker and said to Su Niannian with a smile, "Niannian, you are so stupid! How can you be so ignorant? The eldest brother of the Gu family really has an emergency at home, so he came to you.
You are a formal employee in the art troupe after all, with salary and allowances, so how can you ignore your husband's family affairs? Your grandmother didn't teach you that, and you should get rid of the capitalists' behavior."
Su Niannian, who was discussing something with Jiang Xiaofei, looked up and met Chen Niannian's eyes that looked like he was enjoying the show. Gu Shutong next to her looked awkward and honest. He was wearing patched clothes and looked dusty. He whispered, "Niannian, don't talk nonsense. I have no interest in my brother-in-law's salary.
I just hope that she can give me a little bit of the pension left by her late mother, considering the care she received from her sister-in-law, so that I can get medical treatment. I don’t have any other requests.”
The people around were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. When they heard the word "pension", they all started whispering to each other, and their eyes changed when they looked at Su Niannian.
No wonder Deputy Captain Su usually either goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to make large purchases or goes to restaurants. He is more generous than the workers' families. It turns out that he has a large sum of pension in his hands, so even if it comes from the countryside, he has no worries about money.
But her happiness was clearly built on the suffering of her husband's family. Chen Niannian, who was standing beside her, pretended to be surprised and said before Su Niannian could speak: "Niannian, I know you don't like this child marriage. In fact, I don't like it either, but you have each other's children. You should help them for the sake of others..."
Su Niannian's eyes were as cold as ice: "Shut up! Do you have any say in this matter? Don't call me Niannian all the time, we are not familiar with each other."
"After all, I am from the Su family..."
Su Niannian was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Niannian's monologue. Under the protection of Jiang Xiaofei, she approached Gu Shutong step by step and questioned him harshly.
"Don't you know why I left Lotus Village?!"
"Do you two have no idea whether my sister-in-law has taken care of me more or bullied me more?!"
"You first went to my grandmother's house to swindle money, and then went to the art troupe to blackmail me. What exactly is this money used for? Don't you think I don't know?! Gu Shutong, don't be shameless. I am ashamed to talk about your affairs for fear of polluting everyone's ears.
But I can tell you clearly that the money you want is not in my hands, but in the hands of your brother. If you have the guts, go ask him for it yourself! Don’t show off in front of me—!”
There was a trace of resentment in Gu Shutong's eyes. He didn't expect that Su Niannian didn't care about face at all. She was so fearless and asked him to go find Gu Zhiye. He was not crazy! He didn't have the guts!
Chen Niannian was stunned for a second, then turned to look at Gu Shutong: "Brother Gu, what does she mean? Don't you even know who has the money?! Why don't you let your brother come and talk to her in person? Even if the farm work in the village is very busy, he should be free to come to the northwest for two days. Could it be that Su Niannian deliberately didn't let him come? A country husband, wouldn't Deputy Captain Su dislike him in his heart?!"
Chen Niannian's malice was no longer concealed, and as Su Niannian chose to break up, the atmosphere between the two became tense.
Gu Shutong said with a fake smile: "Yes! She has been using my brother from the beginning to the end. Who knows whether she is lying or telling the truth."
Everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground. Some emotional female comrades wanted to stand up for Su Niannian. Even Jiang Xiaofei was rubbing her hands, wishing she could find a suitable angle to throw these two troubles away. The next second, a low voice sounded, with uncontrollable anger.
"Then tell me, how did she use me?!"
