"Your wife? You're already married? Congratulations!"
After saying that, Wang Honghua smiled, her face showing genuine blessings, and then continued, "I wouldn't say I know her. I've only seen her once from afar. She's a very nice person."
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Nanxun's eyes. He hadn't expected that his wife and Wang Honghua had ever crossed paths. He smiled and said, "If she knew that you spoke of her like that, she would be very happy."
Wang Honghua glanced at Gu Nanxun with a smile and continued, "A few months ago, I went to the city to buy medicine for Aiguo. I saw Lin Qing at the entrance of the department store. She had just bought a bicycle and was being targeted by an old lady from the county town who insisted on introducing her to a potential partner. Then Lin Qing told the old lady that she already had a boyfriend, but one of the educated youths from your village exposed her, saying that her boyfriend was a pair of legs..."
Wang Honghua paused for a moment, then continued, "These words angered your wife. She stood at the entrance of the department store and loudly told everyone that her husband was a soldier, a soldier who had sacrificed for the country, and that she was proud and honored to have such a husband..."
"What she said back then really touched me. I think she must love you very much!"
"Yes, she loves me very much, and I love her very much too."
Gu Nanxun nodded heavily, his heart aching with mixed feelings. He hadn't expected that he had once caused his wife grievances and made her look down upon by others. But hearing the rest, he felt happy. At that moment, Gu Nanxun wished he could fly home immediately and hug his precious wife tightly.
Wang Dali, standing nearby, couldn't help but reach out and hug his wife, supporting her: "Honghua, thank you!"
Wang Honghua shook her head and didn't say anything. She didn't tell everyone that she was almost at her breaking point. Her father-in-law had just passed away, Aiguo was sick, and the Wang family had taken a portion of Ai Dali's pension. After the funeral and medical treatment for Aiguo, there was hardly anything left.
She even secretly blamed Dali in her heart, wondering why he wasn't more careful and why he got hurt. But after hearing Lin Qing's words, she felt as if she had regained her strength.
She secretly thought to herself that she couldn't think of Dali like that. Just like Lin Qing said, her Dali was also a soldier, a dignified soldier, a soldier who sacrificed for the country. Others might look down on him, but as his wife, she couldn't.
Moreover, she couldn't give up; her husband, Dali, and their children were waiting for her to take care of them! It was this belief that sustained her until now, and thankfully, her perseverance paid off.
...
After saying goodbye to Wang Dali's family, Gu Nanxun and Liu Hongjun sped home, arriving after 10 p.m.
Gu Nanxun pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside. He saw a flickering candlelight in his room and felt a surge of warmth. He didn't know when it started, but whenever he came home late, there would always be a candlelight in the room. Even when Lin Qing was in the space, she would light a candle in the room.
After arranging for Liu Hongjun to stay in Lin Yunfeng's bedroom, Gu Nanxun couldn't wait to enter the room. He saw Lin Qing sitting at the table, holding a book in her hand. The candlelight illuminated her focused face, making her appear exceptionally gentle. He stood at the door, quietly watching her, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.
Lin Qing seemed to sense something, looked up at the door, and saw Gu Nanxun. A delighted smile immediately appeared on her face. She put down the book in her hand, stood up, walked quickly to Gu Nanxun, and hugged him tightly.
"You're back." Lin Qing's voice carried a hint of grievance. She felt inexplicably that she was becoming more and more dependent on Gu Nanxun. She would feel wronged if Gu Nanxun came back a little late.
Gu Nanxun hugged her back and said softly, "Mm. I'm back. Why aren't you resting yet?"
After saying that, he bent down, picked up Lin Qing, and went back to the kang (a heated brick bed).
Lin Qing buried her head in Gu Nanxun's arms and muttered softly, "I can't sleep if you don't come back."
"hehe……"
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun laughed happily. His darling was so clingy to him, which made Gu Nanxun especially happy.
"It's my fault. I'll definitely come back earlier next time."
Gu Nanxun patted Lin Qing in his arms and said with a satisfied expression. His emotions had been fluctuating all day, but at this moment it seemed to have settled. Holding Lin Qing in his arms, he felt as if he were holding the whole world, and all his chaotic emotions calmed down at this moment.
"Nanxun, didn't you go to see your comrades today? Why are you back so late? Did something happen?"
"Yes, I went to see my comrade, but his condition isn't good..."
Then Gu Nanxun told Lin Qing in detail what had happened to Wang Dali's family and how he had helped them move.
"What kind of people are there?! I thought the Gu family was already weird enough, but it's understandable that the Gu family aren't your biological parents. How can there really be biological parents who don't care about their own children's lives?"
After hearing Gu Nanxun's description, Lin Qing angrily slammed her hand on the table.
"People are selfish, and parents are mostly biased. In the end, it's just that life is too hard. Actually, they're not that bad. At least when the family divided the property, they got a share, and they didn't come to take advantage of us."
Gu Nanxun thought about the actions of the Gu family and then about the actions of the Wang family. In comparison, the Wang family wasn't so bad after all.
Gu Nanxun was unaware that the Wang family, under the pretext of dividing the family property, had also taken a portion of Wang Dali's pension.
Lin Qing sighed: "Forget it, with your help in the future, they won't have to live too badly. It's just that soldiers are supposed to protect their country, so why do they all have to suffer so much after they get injured and go home?"
Gu Nanxun didn't say anything. He reached out and patted Lin Qing, feeling that he should do something.
"After you give birth, we can go visit my comrades-in-arms."
After a long silence, Gu Nanxun suddenly spoke.
"Okay, we'll take a hovercar then. If we have any trouble getting there, we'll help you out."
Gu Nanxun nodded: "Baby, do you know? Wang Dali's wife, Wang Honghua, actually knows you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing sat up from Gu Nanxun's arms. She thought carefully for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law Wang knows me, but I don't remember."
Gu Nanxun smiled and hugged Lin Qing again before saying, "I only found out today that my baby suffered so much because of me."
