Chapter 111 Three-legged Toad
When Su Nanzhi returned to Qinjia Village, it was just time to get off work. The villagers saw Su Nanzhi carrying a basket of vegetables. Surprisingly, no one asked about it. Instead, many villagers gave Su Nanzhi some vegetables grown in their own private plots.
After seeing several aunties in the crowd whom she had just met at the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Nanzhi reacted immediately.
It seems that the story of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food in order to fulfill the last wish has been spread by the enthusiastic aunt and has been known to everyone in the village.
Su Nanzhi accepted the villagers' kindness somewhat reluctantly and went home carrying the heavier vegetable basket.
After she left, the crowd immediately began to talk.
"Ah, Nanzhi is such a good girl, why does her life have such a hard time?"
"I think it was all Qin Youliang's family who tortured them. God is so blind that he didn't take Qin Youliang's family away."
"You don't know that I saw Nanzhi staring at the candy counter at the supply and marketing cooperative, and finally bought some rice and flour. She looked so pitiful, I couldn't bear to see it..."
"Baogen's mother, if you can't bear to watch it, then why don't you buy a pound for Nanzhi?"
"I don't have any money, why don't you buy some for Nanzhi..."
…
Su Nanzhi returned home and had just put down the vegetable basket when there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw Gu Poguan with an excited look on his face.
"Comrade Su, I have taken care of everything."
Just as Su Nanzhi was about to speak, a car bell rang not far away.
A young man in a green uniform rode a bicycle and stopped in front of Su Nanzhi and Gu Poguan.
"Nanzhi, there's a telegram for you. It's from the army."
The young man was Mao Tiefeng, Su Nanzhi's junior high school classmate. He used his connections to become a postman after graduating from junior high school. Because he had delivered letters sent by Qin Lie, he knew Qin Lie's family inside and out.
Because it was time to get off work, Mao Tiefeng's appearance attracted a lot of attention. When the villagers heard that the telegram was sent from the army, they immediately became alert.
Who in Qinjia Village doesn't know Qin Lie, the Chen Shimei? In the past, everyone was proud that the village had an officer like Qin Lie.
Now, everyone in Qinjia Village is warning their daughters not to look for a partner like Qin Lie.
The person involved, Su Nanzhi, did not think that Qin Lie would spend a lot of money to send a telegram to her, and apart from Qin Lie, she was only familiar with one other person in the army.
Su Nanzhi didn't even realize that her eyes were full of smiles at the moment. She took the telegram from Mao Tiefeng and thought about checking it after returning to the room, but she had no choice but to face the fact that many gossipy villagers were looking at her curiously.
Some of them were impatient and urged Su Nanzhi to open the telegram to see what was written inside.
Su Nanzhi didn't want people to know that she made a friend just by going to the army.
Although everything between her and Gu Xizhou was innocent and open.
But people's words are scary, and the most important thing is that she wants to be a perfect victim. She doesn't want people to spread rumors that Qin Lie canceled the engagement with her because she fell in love with someone else after joining the army.
Thinking of this, Su Nanzhi kept a stern face, but suppressed the ripples in his heart.
But when she opened the telegram and saw the short line of words on it, the ripples in her heart instantly froze and a chill spread throughout her body.
【We are not suitable for each other, please do not contact each other in the future. 】
Su Nanzhi curled her lips into a sneer. She didn't know that Gu Xizhou was such a coward.
When telling people they are refusing, I don’t even dare to state the reason.
With this money, it would be better to save it from the telegram and buy him a piece of candy to give him courage.
If you didn’t know, you would think she really wanted Gu Xizhou to send her a telegram.
Su Nanzhi crumpled the telegram in his hand into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket, forcing a smile at the villagers.
Love is just the icing on the cake. Even if there is no Gu Xizhou, there will still be Zhang Xizhou and Wang Xizhou.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere, so what does a short-lived guy like Gu Xizhou count for?
Thinking of the short-lived ghost, Su Nanzhi frowned.
Although Gu Xizhou is not a responsible person when it comes to relationships, she cannot say anything bad about him when it comes to national affairs.
Even if she and Gu Xizhou couldn't be together, at least she might remind Gu Xizhou...
The villagers who were watching her closely felt that Su Nanzhi's smile was uglier than her crying, and their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at her.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering in their hearts whether Qin Lie had said something unpleasant to Su Nanzhi.
Thinking of this, everyone despised Qin Lie even more.
He had already broken off the engagement and the other person was seriously ill, but he still sent a telegram to provoke her.
Qin Lie is really a piece of shit.
Mao Tiefeng didn't know that Su Nanzhi had been broken off and was "seriously ill", but he could see that Su Nanzhi was in a bad mood and just thought that she had a quarrel with Qin Lie and her boyfriend.
He scratched his head, and after seeing Gu Poguan standing beside him, he took out another telegram from the sack and gave it to her.
"Comrade Gu, you also have a copy of the telegram."
Although Gu Poguan had only been in Qinjia Village for a short time, Mao Tiefeng also knew Gu Poguan because large and small packages were sent to him from Taipei from time to time.
Although Gu Poguan was very curious about the content of the telegram Su Nanzhi received, he opened his own telegram first.
After seeing the words on the telegram, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but when he looked again, the words on the telegram had not changed.
[Your brother had an accident and can't have children. I will arrange for you to return to Taipei as soon as possible.]
The person who sent the telegram was none other than his mother.
Gu Poguan's face was as dark as ink. In the telegram, his mother only said that his brother had an accident and could not have children, but she did not say whether his brother had any health problems other than being unable to have children.
Thinking of his mother's attitude towards his brother since childhood, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Even if he couldn't see his mother's current appearance, he could tell that she must be in a good mood.
The eldest son, whom the old man had high hopes for, was unable to have children. Even if this son was not very successful, he could still inherit the Gu family's business.
But what he is most worried about now is his brother's health.
Although he knew which unit his elder brother served in, he had no right to ask.
As long as he is always his mother's son, he and his eldest brother can never be good brothers.
Fang Tiefeng looked at the two men's ugly faces, said hello to them, and quickly left Qinjia Village on his bicycle.
Even if he can't afford to offend, he can still avoid it.
Seeing that someone had left, the surrounding villagers did not have the foresight to disturb Su Nanzhi and Gu Poguan, and all went home.
After Su Nanzhi sorted out her thoughts, she said to Gu Poguan, who was still in a daze, "This matter will have a result within three days at the earliest. Let's hold off for now."
After she said that, she turned around and went into the yard without caring about Poguan's reaction.
But she had just taken a few steps when she heard Gu Poguan's voice behind her.
"I want to ask you a question."
