Wu Wen knew what Gu Xichen wanted to ask, so he called all the children over.
"Brother Chen, this is Zhang Ziqiang, this is Zhang Zi'an, and this is Zhang Xiaoying."
The children greeted Gu Xichen politely and respectfully.
"This..." Gu Xichen looked at them with some shock.
He had heard of these names before.
"Brother Chen, let's go inside and talk." Wu Wen knew what Gu Xichen wanted to say. But it wasn't convenient in front of the children.
The two went into the inner room and chatted. During that time, only Wu's mother went in to pour Gu Xichen a bowl of sweet soup, and then she didn't go in to disturb them again.
Gu Xichen learned from Wu Wen that the three children in the courtyard were the children of their comrades-in-arms.
The three children belonged to their former battalion commander, but the battalion commander sacrificed himself to save Wu Wen during a mission.
This became a shadow over Wu Wen.
After being discharged from the army, he went to the home of Battalion Commander Zhang, wanting to apologize to his lover. However, when he arrived at Battalion Commander Zhang's house...
After learning of Battalion Commander Zhang's sacrifice, his wife took the compensation money and disappeared.
With only three teenagers left behind and no one to care for them, Wu Wen took them in.
That's why Gu Xichen saw what happened.
Gu Xichen was somewhat shocked that Wu Wenhui had gone to such lengths.
"Doesn't your mother have any objections?"
These days, it's not easy to have enough to eat, let alone three more mouths to feed. Most families can't accept that.
"No, I'm not married yet. It's just me and my mother in my family. It's much more lively when they're around. My mother treats them all like her own grandchildren."
Gu Xichen took out all the pocket money Jiang Jinxiu had given him from his pocket and handed it to Wu Wen.
Wu Wen pushed his hand back: "Brother Chen, to be honest, I'm probably richer than you now. I don't drive a big truck, and my salary is quite high."
Gu Xichen didn't say much, but insisted on stuffing the money into his hand: "You have it, this is my heartfelt gift, buy some things for the children to make up for it."
Wu Wen couldn't refuse Gu Xichen, so he had no choice but to accept the money.
At worst, we can just use it on the children later.
