Chapter 21 Gu Cheng is not dead?

Mother Gu said indifferently, "What's the big deal about getting the marriage certificate? Can't we still get a divorce? Son, with your conditions, I will find you a young and beautiful virgin lady!"

Seeing that her talk was getting more and more outrageous, Gu Cheng stopped listening to their nonsense, took his things and walked out directly.

Gu's mother immediately asked anxiously, "Where are you going? You must not go to look for Liu Yinyin. She has been away for so long, maybe... maybe she has already found a new home."

Gu Cheng said solemnly, "We are still husband and wife, we can't just break up like that, I'll go and take a look first."

Gu's mother moved her lips, trying to stop him: "What's so good about it? If your mother dies, I'll just marry you another one. You're a military officer, what kind of girl can't you find?"

Gu Cheng turned around and looked at her, then said directly, "Mom, I'm retired from the army, and I won't leave this time when I come back."

"What? You've been discharged from the army?" Gu's mother was instantly panicked.

Gu Cheng said nothing more and just walked out.

Gu's mother stood there in a daze, and could only watch her son walk further and further away.

I was shocked: "Old man, what did my son just say? He has retired from the army. Does that mean he can't join the army anymore?"

Oh my God!

These words came as a bolt from the blue to her, no less than when she first heard the news of Gu Cheng's "sacrifice".

She had lived for most of her life, and the thing she was most proud of was that she had raised a good son. Her son served in the army and received allowances and coupons sent back to him every month.

Whenever Gu's mother walked out, her back was always straight. No one in the village could compare to her.

Upon hearing this, Father Gu sighed and said, "Come back if you want. It's good to be alive."

Being outside always makes people nervous, afraid that he may not come back one day.

Gu's mother scolded: "What do you know!"

If Gu Cheng doesn't return to the army, who will send her money every month?

......

When Gu Cheng arrived at Liujia Village, the villagers had already started working. He didn't find anyone in Liujia, so he hurried back to the fields.

After a lot of trouble, I finally found my father-in-law and mother-in-law...

Liu Yinyin is currently drying the grain in the threshing ground. When she has free time, she sits on a small bench, looking around from time to time.

If you see birds coming to eat the grain, you have to drive them away.

"Yinyin, how many months old is your belly?" The speaker was Granny Cai from the village. She was over sixty years old and, like Liu Yinyin, was assigned to work in the threshing ground.

Granny Cai is old now, and she likes to chat with people whenever she wants.

"It's almost seven months." said Liu Yinyin.

"You're going to be born soon, that's good. In two or three months, the autumn harvest will be over, and your mother will have time to take care of you during the confinement period." Grandma Cai glanced at Liu Yinyin and said thoughtfully.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said nothing. She was alone, and she would have to trouble Jiang Cuihua with her care when she gave birth and took care of the baby.

Seeing that Liu Yinyin remained silent, Granny Cai said to her quietly after a while, "You are so young, and it is not easy to raise a child by yourself. Have you ever thought about finding someone to help you raise the child?"

Liu Yinyin: “…”

After all this time, it turned out that Granny Cai wanted to matchmake for her.

Liu Yinyin didn't want to say it too directly, so she said vaguely, "Mother-in-law, everyone's life is hard now, who would raise a child for someone else without any reason?"

Nowadays, like in Liujia Village, every household has more than ten or twenty people. It is not easy to take care of your own family, let alone raise children for others?

Granny Cai raised her eyelids and said, "That's not necessarily true. Let me tell you, there's a young man in my mother's village named Chen Guangjun. He's just 22 years old this year and he's still unmarried. He has high standards and must find a pretty girl. I think... if it's you, he'll definitely be interested."

Liu Yinyin was shocked!

Before she could say anything, Granny Cai continued to mutter, "Granny, I am old now and I will not do anything to harm others. This Chen Guangjun is really a good guy.

He now works in the county supply and marketing cooperative as a formal employee with good salary and benefits. He can definitely support his wife and children.

His family is easy to talk to, and his parents are both recognized as honest people in the village, and they would not do those dirty things behind people’s backs.”

Liu Yinyin wiped her sweat timidly and said with an embarrassed smile: "Mrs. Cai, look at what you said. Since he has such good conditions, how can he be interested in me?"

In the eyes of outsiders, she has no other advantages except her face.

It might have been acceptable before, but now she is a widow with a baby in her belly.

Even if Chen Guangjun was willing, would his family agree to him marrying a "widow"? Not to mention that he would have to be a father.

Granny Cai sighed, "To be honest, Chen Guangjun is a very pitiful child. He was injured before and one of his arms cannot move, so he is a little different from normal people. But he is really honest and capable. Apart from the problem with one arm, there is really nothing wrong with him in other aspects."

Chen Guangjun was injured in the past while protecting public property, so he was given a job in the supply and marketing cooperative as compensation.

Otherwise...how could a country boy like him find a job in the county, let alone a good unit like the supply and marketing cooperative?

With his conditions, it's not impossible for him to choose a city girl, but...some things are like this, you can't get what you want.

Those whom Chen Guangjun likes are looked down upon by others, and those who like him are looked down upon by Chen Guangjun.

Therefore, we can only lower our standards a bit. After all, it is always difficult for people to be perfect.

So that's how it is. Liu Yinyin finally understood that Chen Guangjun himself had flaws, so his requirements for a spouse were not that high and he could accept her as a "widow".

Although she understood, Liu Yinyin politely declined, "Grandma Cai, thank you for worrying about me, but I won't consider these things for the time being."

Granny Cai also had good intentions, and there were some things that Liu Yinyin couldn't say too bluntly.

People nowadays have different ideas and concepts from later generations. If you tell people nowadays that you don’t want to get married or have children in the future.

People will definitely say that you have something wrong with your brain!

Granny Cai was surprised and said, "Why? Chen Guangjun's salary is more than enough to support you and your child."

The reason she talked about this with Liu Yinyin was not because she was impulsive.

In fact, Chen Guangjun had met Liu Yinyin and had been interested in her, but before he could find someone to propose marriage to her, Liu Yinyin got married.

Later...Liu Yinyin came back alone, and Chen Guangjun heard the news from somewhere, and the thoughts that had been suppressed originally surfaced again.

Liu Yinyin smiled at her and explained: "I..."

"Yin Yin, your man is back!"
