"Shut up!" Gu Ye shouted coldly. He could no longer bear it and looked at Li Hongying with a cold gaze. "If you continue to make trouble, we will settle the score. Return all the money you took from me!"
"Why?" When Li Hongying heard this, she refused to do it immediately because Gu Ye wanted her to pay back the money.
"Why? Just because you signed the letter of guarantee! We agreed at the beginning that you would take care of Ningning and I would pay you a salary, but if you abuse Ningning and treat Ningning badly, then you have to return all the salary I paid!" Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows excitedly when she heard this. Gu Ye actually signed an employment agreement with Li Hongying? Is he so advanced in his thinking?
Li Hongying's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and her hands were shaking with anger, "Gu Ye, you are talking nonsense!"
Chen Baozhu, who had been standing far away and paying attention to the situation here, suddenly rushed over and slapped Li Hongying on the head, shouting angrily: "How can you talk to Gu Tuan like that! Apologize now!"
Gu Ye and Jiang Yue sneered at the same time.
Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye and said with his eyes: See, this Chen Baozhu is a fence-sitter, he only looks at which side is good for him, I don't believe he doesn't know what his wife did? Humph, he beats Li Hongying at every turn, all for you, Gu Ye!
Gu Ye bit his cheek and said coldly: "Chen Baozhu, take care of your wife. If it happens again, you'll pack up and get out!"
Chen Baozhu's face turned even paler, and he was shaking all over. "Yes, Gu Tuan! I promise it won't happen again!"
Li Hongying wanted to say something, but Chen Baozhu covered her mouth and dragged her home.
Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she decided to forget it and not say anything.
Gu Ye noticed Jiang Yue's indescribable expression, and when they reached the door, he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, "No!"
"I know what you want to say!" Gu Ye put Ningning down, took out the key and opened the door.
"You know?" Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows.
"Do you think I'm too kind to Chen Baozhu's family?" Gu Ye pushed open the door and let Ningning and Jiang Yue go in first. When Jiang Yue walked in, he looked into Jiang Yue's eyes and asked this question.
Jiang Yue: "...You know that yourself?"
Jiang Yue didn't believe that Gu Ye couldn't see through Li Hongying's character at the beginning, but was still willing to entrust Ningning to their family for care. This seemed abnormal no matter how she thought about it.
And according to Gu Ye's character, he did not teach Li Hongying a lesson after her abuse of Ningning was exposed. This is the second abnormal thing.
Jiang Yue previously thought that it was because Gu Ye did not hit women. No matter how angry he was, he could not beat Li Hongying directly. He could only scold Chen Baozhu, and then let Chen Baozhu discipline his own wife.
But it is obvious that Chen Baozhu did not discipline Li Hongying, otherwise Li Hongying would not have provoked her again and again. Today, she shamelessly came to Gu Ye to cry about the difficulties at home, asking Gu Ye to continue to raise Ningning in their home and pay her 20 to 30 yuan a month.
It can only be said that both Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying were certain that Gu Ye would not really punish them.
So the question is, where do they get the confidence from?
Gu Ye closed the door and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen Baozhu turned out to be my soldier as well."
Jiang Yue suddenly heard Gu Ye mention Brother Chen Baozhu, and her intuition told her that there was a story behind it.
"And then?" Jiang Yue asked after seeing Gu Ye remained silent.
“Dead!”
"How did he die?"
Gu Ye frowned, as if he was not willing to recall the past. He looked up and saw Jiang Yue staring at him. Finally, he said, "He died in the battle. He was hit in the head by a stray bullet and died on the spot."
After a pause, he added: "Right next to me!"
Jiang Yue heard this and asked, "You two have a good relationship?"
Gu Ye nodded, his voice low, "He followed me to the battlefield, but I couldn't bring him back alive!"
"Okay, I understand!" Jiang Yue did not continue to ask. She could see that when Gu Ye mentioned Brother Chen Baozhu, his whole expression was depressed. She thought that the two of them must have had a good relationship at the beginning.
It seems that even for a combat hero like Gu Ye who was extremely brave and had killed countless enemies, the memory of the war left on them was extremely cruel.
"Do you understand?" Gu Ye raised his eyes, and without even noticing it, there was a hint of expectation in his tone.
Can Jiang Yue really understand him?
Jiang Yue nodded, "I understand that you care about your comrades and take care of them!"
Jiang Yue immediately changed the subject, "But Gu Ye, have you ever thought about this? Chen Baozhu clearly knew what Li Hongying did, but he pretended to be ignorant in front of you. When the truth was revealed and you scolded him, he went home and beat Li Hongying, and the whole family compound knew that Li Hongying was beaten by Chen Baozhu because of Ningning!"
Seeing Gu Ye frowning, Jiang Yue continued to analyze, "From what I heard, Chen Baozhu has beaten Li Hongying at least three times. However, Li Hongying not only doesn't think that she is treating Ningning harshly, but she even shamelessly begs you to continue paying her salary and ask her to take care of Ningning. What does this mean?"
"What?" Gu Ye asked.
"It means that Li Hongying and Chen Baozhu don't think they have done anything wrong!" Jiang Yue said, "They think you are making a big deal out of nothing! And this person is not as honest as he looks!"
"Look, when Li Hongying said those words just now, Chen Baozhu was standing by and seemed very respectful to you, but he let Li Hongying play the victim to you. Only when he saw you got angry at the end did he come out and beat Li Hongying. It was obvious that he did it for you to see!"
"So the root cause still lies with Chen Baozhu!" Jiang Yue felt that it was impossible for Gu Ye not to understand such a simple truth.
Gu Ye frowned. He did take care of Chen Baozhu for Chen Dazhu's sake, but he was very angry about Li Hongying's abuse of Ningning.
Jiang Yue guessed one thing right. Gu Ye had been leading troops for years and had been working among men. He seldom dealt with women. When he met a shrew like Li Hongying, as a man he could neither use force nor scold her. Gu Ye could only call Chen Baozhu to scold her and tell Chen Baozhu to go back and take care of his wife.
But just as Jiang Yue said, this couple are birds of a feather. Chen Baozhu probably thought that he could just go back and beat Li Hongying up and that would be enough to explain to Gu Ye.
Jiang Yue didn't care how Gu Ye planned to deal with the matter. She had more important things to do at the moment. She had to destroy the evidence of selling French fries!
Just when Gu Ye was thinking about how to deal with the matter of Chen Baozhu and Li Hongying, she quietly carried the backpack into the kitchen.
Although Jiang Yue had packed up all the remaining French fries and given them to He Jingxuan and his aunt at He Jingxuan's aunt's house, she was worried that some of them might have slipped through the net. If Gu Ye found out, she would have a hard time explaining.
Jiang Yue thought Gu Ye was thinking about something and had no time to pay attention to her. In fact, when Jiang Yue carried the basket into the kitchen, Gu Ye looked up at her.
However, Gu Ye was not thinking about what was in Jiang Yue's bag, nor did he think about how to deal with Chen Baozhu's matter. At this moment, his mind was full of the three words that Jiang Yue had just said to Li Hongying: "My man"!
