Chapter 7 Making a Phone Call
Gu Yiye was not afraid or disgusted as Lin Shanshan had imagined.
He parked his bicycle, hugged Lin Shanshan tightly, and said with heartache, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I couldn't protect you properly in my past life."
"Shanshan, don't be afraid in this life. I will protect you and your family!"
Gu Yiye's tall figure enveloped Lin Shanshan, giving her a sense of security she had never felt before.
Lin Shanshan is 167cm tall, slender and graceful, but she looks petite and adorable in Gu Yiye's arms.
Lin Shanshan didn't know how long she hugged Gu Yiye before she gently pushed him away. When she looked up, she was surprised to see this tough man with tears streaming down his face.
Gu Yiye quickly turned his head and said embarrassedly, "I got some wind in my eyes."
Lin Shanshan took out a small handkerchief and wiped away Gu Yiye's tears. At that moment, her heart was filled with the handsome man in front of her.
She knew that Gu Yiye's tears were for her!
Gu Yiye said, "Shanshan, I'll avenge this with you. We must make Yang Wenqing's reputation ruined and make him wish he were dead."
Gu Yiye didn't offer to avenge her, but he knew in his heart that Shanshan couldn't possibly entrust such a deep-seated hatred to someone else.
Lin Shanshan nodded and said, "Okay!"
Gu Yiye said, "Get in the car. You must really want to talk to my parents-in-law right now, right?"
Lin Shanshan got back on the bicycle, and this time, she reached out and gently hugged Gu Yiye's waist.
In this life, besides seeking revenge and protecting my family, I have another goal: to live a good life with the man in front of me!
They arrived at Yongzheng People's Commune soon. Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan found the operator and asked him to help them dial the number of Shanghai First People's Hospital.
In the 1970s, long-distance calls required manual transfer by operators, and if you were unlucky, it might take a week to get through.
Fortunately, hospital calls are usually answered quickly. Ten minutes later, the operator told Lin Shanshan, "You're connected now, you can speak."
Lin Shanshan eagerly picked up the receiver and called out, "Dad, how are you feeling?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Little girl, do you only remember your dad and not your mom? A daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket, but isn't she her mother's little cotton-padded jacket too?"
Lin Shanshan said, "No, I miss my mom too."
Li Qunying said on the other end of the phone, "Your dad has surgery right now, he's still on the operating table. Your brother is in the outpatient clinic, and let me tell you, there are so many people looking for your brother to see, the line is incredibly long!"
Since her rebirth, this was the first time Lin Shanshan had heard her mother's warm Shanghai accent and her usual boastful tone about her child. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Lin Shanshan didn't speak, Li Qunying teased, "Little girl, are you jealous of your brother? Little girl is the best in your mother's heart. You've never suffered since you were little. You persevered for so long as an educated youth in the countryside. You don't know, your dad and your brother talk about you every day, worried that you're not eating well. They sent you something again a couple of days ago. Did you receive it?"
Lin Shanshan wiped away her tears and said, "Not yet, it might not be that soon, Mom. You need to take good care of yourself. Tell Dad and my older brother not to accept any gifts from anyone, not even the cheapest ones."
In his past life, Yang Wenqing bribed a patient who gave his father a bag of oranges, saying they were homegrown and insisting that his father accept them.
My dad was in a hurry to have surgery, and when he saw that they were indeed oranges, he accepted them.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wenqing had slipped money into the middle of the orange.
Lin Shanshan repeatedly urged, "Mom, you must tell Dad and Brother that you shouldn't accept any gifts yourself. You can only know a person's face, not their heart!"
Li Qunying was very pleased: "It seems my daughter has grown up and knows how to be wary of people."
On second thought, was my daughter being bullied?
Only by learning from one's mistakes can one gain a better understanding.
She hurriedly asked, "Nannan, were you bullied?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, and, moreover, I have someone protecting me now."
Lin Shanshan didn't want to hide her relationship with Gu Yiye from her mother.
Li Qunying asked, "Nannan, are you in a relationship?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Yes, his name is Gu Yiye. He is a retired soldier and he is very kind to me."
Li Qunying had a very good impression of soldiers and asked Lin Shanshan to give the phone to Gu Yiye so she could talk to him.
Gu Yiye thought his wife wouldn't talk about their relationship today, but now that he'd heard it, he was incredibly excited.
His large hand trembled slightly with excitement as he took the phone and cried out into the receiver, "Mom!"
