Chapter 373 Barely OK
Although Gu Xizhou didn't understand what Su Nanzhi meant by the green tea man, as long as Su Nanzhi was satisfied, it was fine.
After a long while, Su Nanzhi looked hesitant and nodded.
"Just barely."
But the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
She didn't expect that Gu Xizhou would cooperate with her performance.
"As long as my wife is satisfied, it's okay to be a green tea man."
Gu Xizhou nodded and also put on a serious expression.
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this against the principles of your military service?"
Gu Xizhou: "What principles?"
Su Nanzhi's eyes widened. "Protecting our country, now it seems like we're blackmailing others."
Although she felt that Aunt Gongsun really needed a lesson.
"Defend the country?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Family first, country second. If you put your family at the expense of your reputation as a soldier, then you don't have to be a soldier."
Su Nanzhi didn't expect Gu Xizhou to say such a thing, and was speechless for a moment.
"Nanzhi, just remember that you are more important than me. As long as it doesn't violate the law, I will always stand by your side." Gu Xizhou put his hands on Su Nanzhi's shoulders, his expression extremely serious. "What's more, it was Aunt Gongsun who spoke ill of her first. She is an adult and needs to pay the price for her actions."
Su Nanzhi lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Gu Xizhou's eyes. Compared with Gu Xizhou's attitude of complete trust, Su Nanzhi felt that her reservations seemed so insincere.
Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes. Although Su Nanzhi married him, sometimes he always felt that there was a transparent barrier between him and Su Nanzhi, which made him unable to see Su Nanzhi's heart clearly.
"Whatever you do, I will support you."
After Gu Xizhou finished speaking, he put his hand down and said, "Wait, you don't have to say anything. Since I caused this matter, I will handle it."
Before Su Nanzhi could say anything, she heard crying and noisy footsteps outside the yard.
Aunt Gongsun, who had just fled, was dragged into the yard by her husband, and Director Hao, who looked angry, was standing next to her.
"Comrade Gu, Xiao Su, I'll ask Aunt Gongsun to come and apologize to you."
Su Nanzhi helped the "injured" Gu Xizhou out of the bedroom and saw Aunt Gongsun sitting on the ground crying. Her husband beside her had an ugly face and kicked Aunt Gongsun from time to time. Every time Aunt Gongsun's crying was about to stop, her crying would get louder again, over and over again, and soon attracted the neighbors who were still awake to come and watch the fun.
"Master Gongsun, what do you mean?"
Gu Xizhou leaned against Su Nanzhi. Although his voice was not soft, everyone in the yard could hear it clearly.
"If you want to teach your wife a lesson, go home and don't do this in my house."
Hearing this, Grandpa Gongsun lowered his raised foot and said awkwardly, "Comrade Gu, am I not angry?"
"My old woman is not very good at talking. If she said something wrong, don't take it to heart. I'll ask her to apologize to you."
As he spoke, he grabbed Aunt Gongsun, who was still sitting on the ground, and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and apologize to Comrade Gu. He will definitely not hold it against you."
Su Nanzhi was unhappy and apologized, but if Gu Xizhou didn't forgive her, she would be considered a petty person. Isn't this pure moral kidnapping?
She wanted to speak reflexively, but Gu Xizhou gently pinched her hand.
Then I heard Gu Xizhou speak.
"What if I don't forgive?"
Uncle Gongsun didn't expect Gu Xizhou to act so unconventionally. He was stunned at first, "So how do you want to solve this?"
Gu Xizhou looked Gongsun and his wife up and down before saying, "Apology and compensation."
Su Nanzhi opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Xizhou in surprise.
She could understand the apology, but she didn't expect to hear the word compensation from Gu Xizhou's mouth.
Compensation involves money, which is quite sensitive after all. If it is not handled properly, it may cause everyone to have an opinion of Gu Xizhou.
Just as Su Nanzhi thought, the people standing at the door watching the excitement had different expressions when they heard Gu Xizhou's words, but most of them seemed to disagree.
After all, according to their thinking, soldiers are always more tolerant and would never be as vindictive as Gu Xizhou.
"Isn't it said that Lin Sen is a soldier, undercover to complete a mission? Why is he extorting money?"
"Birds of a feather flock together, I guess he's a soldier."
"I don't think anything happened to him, how could he have the nerve to ask for compensation?"
…
Gu Xizhou acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression remained unchanged and he was very calm.
When Grandpa Gongsun heard the voices of the crowd, a glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes.
"Comrade Gu, my family is not well off. Just name the amount, and I'll give it to you even if I have to sell everything I have. After all, you're a soldier, and I trust you."
His voice was tearful and sounded very pitiful.
Gu Xizhou could feel that everyone's gaze on him was filled with a hint of condemnation.
A dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he covered his mouth with his big hands and began to cough violently.
"Ahem... Master Gongsun, I know you think I'm going too far."
"But this is also because Aunt Gongsun is too bullying. Nanzhi and I just got our marriage certificate, and she said bad things about Nanzhi in front of me. She also said she would introduce me to someone, and finally wanted me to use the back door to let your grandson join the army."
Gu Xizhou coughed violently as he spoke, looking extremely angry.
"I rejected her, but she got so angry that she wanted to hit Nanzhi."
Having said that, he looked up at the neighbors standing at the gate and said, "Uncles and aunts, if it were you, could you bear it?"
"I just can't stand it. I can't let my family become cowards just because I'm a soldier."
"At worst, I can just quit being a soldier. I'm just a regimental commander anyway."
After hearing his words, everyone finally understood the cause of the incident and could understand Gu Xizhou's anger.
Then I found out that Gu Xizhou was still a group leader.
Before they could react, Gu Xizhou began to cough violently.
In the dim light and moonlight, everyone also saw the bloodstains on his handkerchief.
Some of the hot-tempered neighbors have already started to scold the Gongsun family out of sympathy.
If they encountered such a thing, they would not be as good-tempered as Comrade Gu and stand here to ask them for an apology and compensation.
They will definitely teach the Gongsun family a lesson before that.
When some people heard that Gu Xizhou was a group leader, their eyes lit up and they began to blame the Gongsun family.
Compared with the team leader, the Gongsun family is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Director Hao didn't expect that when he was at Gongsun's house, the Gongsun family promised to apologize and compensate him.
After arriving at the Su family, Grandpa Gongsun's expression changed again. He was already impatient, and now when he heard that Gu Xizhou was so angry that he wanted to quit being the leader, he didn't care about anything else.
"Gongsun, hurry up and apologize to Comrade Gu, and compensate him for the loss. Look how mad you've made him."
Uncle Gongsun didn't expect that with just a few words from Gu Xizhou, the situation would be reversed in an instant.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Uncle Gongsun, who has a wife like Aunt Gongsun, is no pushover either.
His eyes rolled, and he cried, "Comrade Gu, I didn't expect my wife to be so excessive. I asked her to apologize to you and Xiao Su, and it's for this money..."
"Can you discuss it?"
