Jiang Jinhua looked at Jiang Jinxiu with some surprise. So his sister knew that he cared for her too.
It wasn't all for nothing that I worried about her.
Jiang Jinhua raised her chin arrogantly: "Hmph, at least you still have some conscience."
Then he turned to Gu Xichen: "Don't think you can get away with this by saying that."
He came with a mission; if he doesn't find out the details, how can he explain it to his parents?
His parents are still waiting for his reply.
She was afraid her sister would suffer in silence.
Gu Xichen looked at Jiang Jinhua and said firmly, "Brother-in-law, my marriage to your sister was an accident, but I will always treat her well and will never let her suffer any injustice..."
Then he told Jiang Jinhua the whole story.
Jiang Jinhua listened patiently, and fortunately, what Gu Xichen said was almost identical to what Jiang Jinhua had found out yesterday.
That's right. Yesterday, Jiang Jinhua spent most of his time inquiring about Jiang Jinxiu's arrival in Gujia Village and about everyone in the Gu family.
The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Only by understanding his enemy beforehand could he better protect his sister.
"Weren't you in the army? Why are you back?"
He remembered his sister saying that he was a soldier.
In his memory, soldiers have very little time off.
He just got married to his sister and is already on leave, so it's impossible for him to be on leave again so soon.
His father was a soldier, a typical example of someone who was often unreachable.
Jiang Jinxiu also wanted to know the answer to Jiang Jinhua's question.
The two of them looked at Gu Xichen together.
Seeing the two people staring at him, Gu Xichen felt a little awkward and said in a low voice, "I've retired from the army."
"You've been discharged from the army? How could you be discharged?" Jiang Jinhua's reaction was even more intense and surprising than Jiang Jinxiu's.
He had a strong feeling that his brother-in-law would not retire from the military, nor would he retire easily.
He had served in the military and knew the soldiers' feelings for the army.
They wouldn't easily retire from the military unless something serious happened.
He could tell from Gu Xichen's aura that he was no ordinary soldier.
Moreover, even if he were to be discharged from the military, the timing wouldn't be right.
He asked anxiously, "Why? Has something happened?"
If he were merely a soldier, his father would be more accepting of him.
If he was a soldier who had made mistakes, that would be a major taboo in his father's eyes.
Gu Xichen's eyes were dark and unfathomable, and he did not answer his question.
But Jiang Jinhua was not willing to give up; he wanted to know the answer.
Jiang Jinxiu understands Gu Xichen; if he doesn't want to talk about it, he won't.
She pulled Gu Xichen back into the house and locked the door from the inside.
He only left Jiang Jinhua with one sentence: "Eat your food first."
That aura was something Jiang Jinhua had never seen in his sister before.
And his brother-in-law, such a tall man, was surprisingly cooperative.
He thought that his brother-in-law seemed alright. At least not as bad as he had previously imagined.
People from the countryside aren't as bad as you might imagine.
No wonder his sister was willing to marry him.
Inside the room, Gu Xichen was forced to sit on the bed by Jiang Jinxiu, who stood beside him scrutinizing him.
In his previous life, he didn't retire from the army so early. He was forced to retire later because of Liu Jianjun's scheme.
Could it be that her rebirth caused some things to change?
Although he can shine anywhere, she hopes he can continue to do what he loves.
"You really retired from the military? You did such a good job on the last mission, shouldn't you have received a reward? Why did you suddenly retire? Don't lie to me."
Gu Xichen looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said, "Wife, there are some things I can't tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jinxiu covered his mouth and said, "Okay, I understand."
She is the daughter of a soldier. Although she did not serve in the military, she still knows the rules of the army to some extent.
"How long will you be staying this time?"
"Wife, I don't know either." Gu Xichen felt very guilty about it.
Because of his status, there are many things he cannot control.
He held the petite woman tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with apology.
Jiang Jinxiu could sense the change in his emotions, so she reassured him, "I'm fine, you don't need to be like this. Just do what you're supposed to do."
She pushed him away slightly: "I need to discuss something with you."
"You tell me, my wife."
“Xiao Hua ran into some trouble when he came down. He’s penniless now and is staying at my uncle’s house. Should we give my uncle some money? Also, he’s my brother, and he’s the only one here who can help him. Do you have any objections? You can speak up if you do.”
With Yang Zhaodi's matter still fresh in her mind, she didn't want them to end up like Boss Gu.
She didn't want to become the second Yang Zhaodi.
She hopes that any issues can be communicated and resolved properly.
Gu Xichen was eager to curry favor with his brother-in-law, hoping to gain his acceptance so he could speak well of him to his parents-in-law in the future.
How could he possibly have any objections?
“Wife, I know everything you’re saying. I’m not the eldest brother, you’re not Yang Zhaodi, and your family isn’t the Yang family.”
Don't compare yourself to them; let's just live our own lives well. My brother-in-law is new to this place, so it's only right that we, as his older sister and brother-in-law, help him out.
"Then tell me, how much money should we give our uncle? At least until we finish building our house, he'll be living at his uncle's house. He can eat whatever he wants, whether he comes to eat with us or eats at his uncle's house. But we should give his uncle's family some money as compensation; we can't let him live at his house for free."
"Wife, you decide. In our family, you're in charge."
The two talked for a while longer until Jiang Jinhua called them, at which point they left the room.
"What are you doing staying in the room for so long in broad daylight? Aren't you ashamed?" Jiang Jinhua said rather bluntly.
As expected, he almost got slapped by Jiang Jinxiu as soon as he finished speaking.
But this time he learned his lesson.
They reacted quickly and dodged it.
"Hehe, you can't hit me, you can't hit me."
That smug expression made Jiang Jinxiu's hands itch with desire.
Jiang Jinhua provoked her while quickly dodging.
The two people, who were playfully fighting face to face, did not notice that there was someone behind them.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Jiang Jinhua accidentally knocked the village chief to the ground, and he himself staggered a few steps, leaving two obvious footprints on the village chief.
"You brat, you're stepping on me again."
The village chief felt like he had the worst luck imaginable. Not only was he bumped into, but he was also stepped on by the same person.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinxiu quickly went over to help the village chief up: "Village chief, I'm sorry, my brother didn't mean it."
Jiang Jinhua arrived at this moment and helped the village chief brush the dust off his clothes: "Village chief, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind me."
Suddenly, a hissing sound rang out, and Jiang Jinhua and Jiang Jinxiu were both stunned.
