There are also Gu Yong's parents. Although they also published a notice in the newspaper to sever ties, they are still his biological parents and are getting old. It's possible that they were deceived.
It was one thing to be sent down to the countryside before, but now that I'm back, it's unfair that I live in a small building in the military compound while my parents suffer outside.
They can either bring the child back and raise it, or they can find a place for the child to live outside and hire an older woman to cook and do laundry for them.
Gu Yong, on the other hand, had a falling out with both sides, and it turned out so ugly that the whole city knew about it.
There's no way to mend the broken relationship with the two wives in front of him.
It would be better to find a slightly younger woman. I don't expect anything else from her, just that she's younger and knows how to take care of people.
Before he dies and closes his eyes, he should divide what is due, keep what is due, and leave some money for the woman who took care of him. That will be enough.
Although Gu Yong's conditions weren't considered good within the compound, he would still be highly sought after outside.
He has the benefits of a full-fledged army rank, is a high-ranking officer, owns a house, has a personal attendant, and has a high income. He has severed ties with his wife and children from the previous marriage. Even if he has parents, how many more years can he live?
They are older, but if they weren't older, they wouldn't be eligible for these conditions, would they?
After all, she would become a military officer's wife after marrying into the family.
These words made Gu Yong somewhat tempted.
Even if he's narcissistic, he's realized that Jiang Yuan will never turn back.
Fang Dani, whenever he thought of this woman, he felt disgusted!
He no longer wants to acknowledge his two sons, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui.
He wanted to acknowledge the two brothers, Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Zhixing, but they wouldn't.
After much thought, he realized that despite working hard all his life, he ended up all alone.
Coming to my senses, I looked at the empty house, cold and desolate. Even my loud breathing seemed to echo. It didn't feel like a home at all.
Perhaps this house needs a woman; with a woman in charge, it won't feel so deserted.
Jiang Zhiyuan and the others naturally knew that Gu Yong had returned.
Everyone was busy, and no one had time to pay attention to him.
However, I've also thought about waiting until after the New Year to find some time to return the money that Gu Yong left behind.
But before they could find a moment to rest, just after the Lantern Festival, news spread that Gu Yong had already asked someone to introduce him to a potential partner.
The requirements are also clear: around forty years old, with a clean and honest family background, divorced or widowed is acceptable, and if there are children, daughters are preferred. They should be hardworking, thrifty, good at managing the household, and caring.
When the news spread, not only were Jiang Zhiyuan and his men taken aback, but the military compound was also abuzz with discussion.
Everyone knows, of course, that Gu Yong's two wives have both divorced him and severed ties with him.
But no one expected that Gu Yong would spread this rumor so soon after his return.
Of course, Gu Yong is indeed unmarried now, and it's understandable that he wants to find another one, but why does it feel so awkward?
Jiang Yuan was well-informed, after all, Bian Jiang, an admirer of hers, lived in the military compound, and Gu Yong's newly allocated apartment was right next to Bian's.
Naturally, they obtained firsthand information.
It turns out that Gu Yong did manage to pick up the old man and woman from the Gu family before New Year's Eve, but they weren't brought back to the compound.
They found another place for the two elderly people to stay, and then hired an older woman from next door to take care of them. She cooked for them and did their laundry every day. They paid the two elderly people thirty yuan a month and the older woman fifteen yuan.
When Gu Daikui and his grandchildren saw that Gu Yong had returned to Beijing and was living in the military compound, they were filled with deep regret.
It was only after leaving Gu Yong that I realized how comfortable it was to have Gu Yong by my side.
Now that they have lost their support, the family can only live off their savings, and when they are bullied and harassed, they can only swallow their anger.
Especially those grandchildren from the east, west, south, and north—they used to be the children of high-ranking families, always looking arrogant and haughty when they went out.
The school I attend now is the one I used to look down on the most. My whole family is crammed into a few small, dilapidated rooms, and the neighbors around us are all mean-spirited, opportunistic, and gossipy people.
The clothes they wore were ill-fitting and filthy, and no one washed them.
And they were even called motherless wild children, and they wanted to teach them a lesson.
Back in the military district's affiliated school, Gu Yong's influence made others give him a wide berth.
No one gave way here. The brothers were beaten black and blue before they realized they were scared.
They wept bitterly, admitting their mistakes and asking Gu Yong for forgiveness, before following him back to the military compound.
They were flatly rejected.
Gu Daikui and his grandsons felt a sense of satisfaction when they saw Gu Yong abandon Jiang Yuan and her two children.
Now that it's Gu Yong's turn to resolutely give up on himself, he realizes how painful it is to be stabbed in the back.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they cried and begged, Gu Yong was determined to abandon them completely, and all their efforts were in vain.
Later, Gu Daikui and his comrades still didn't want to give up, and went to the military compound several times to intercept Gu Yong.
Gu Yong always has a car to get in and out, and there are sentries at the gate. Without his permission and guidance, you can't get in even if you throw a tantrum.
After several attempts, I had no choice but to give up.
Gu Yong and his orderly spent a quiet and lonely Spring Festival.
I don't know what Gu Yong was thinking.
After the Lantern Festival, Gu Yong approached the most enthusiastic woman in the compound and asked her to introduce him to a companion.
Anyway, I heard that things have been quite lively in the compound lately, although the people in the compound don't really think much of Gu Yong.
But who doesn't have a distant relative of the right age?
Even if Gu Yong isn't very capable and holds a sinecure, the benefits of a full-fledged army-level officer are real.
With a monthly salary of around two hundred yuan, a car for transportation, and a small house to live in, and no need for virgins, only widowed or divorced women in their forties, who wouldn't flock to such a place?
So now, Gu Yong has been looking at quite a few women.
As for who he will ultimately choose, everyone in the compound is now waiting to see.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixing couldn't help but spit, "When we saw him off before he was sent down, he acted so affectionate towards our mother. Only a few years have passed, and he's only been back for a few days, and he's already getting married again! Bah—"
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had thought that after Gu Yong returned, he might cry his heart out in front of his brothers, or regret his past actions in front of Jiang Yuan.
He had imagined countless times in his mind what attitude and tone he should use to express his anger and firm determination not to forgive when Gu Yong begged for forgiveness in front of them.
He had even imagined what Gu Yong might say, how he would regret it, and how dejected he would be when he left.
How much better he would feel, to finally let out the anger he'd been holding in for all these years.
But Gu Yong had only been back for a few days, and he was already going to meet other female comrades. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of nausea welled up in his heart.
I felt even more naive!
After everything we've been through, how could I still have any expectations for Gu Yong?
Having a father like that is truly disgusting!
