"I won't go. I think General Gu should be able to handle these things, right?"
Shen Ningsi blinked at Gu Hong.
She felt that Gu Hong was different from ordinary generals. This man was quite smart and should know what she meant.
Gu Hong snorted coldly, "Then I won't go either. Don't worry, San Yazi will take care of it."
Could he still not understand the hidden meaning behind Shen Ningsi's words? It was nothing more than Uncle Gu's rare visit, and he asked him to find some game.
"So you still have a heart for others. When Third Uncle came, all he did was cook game. I've lived here for so long, but why haven't I seen you cook any meat dishes?"
“…”
Shen Ningsi was speechless for a moment.
What could be the reason? Of course, he didn't want to care about Gu Hong at all.
When Gu Hong asked this question himself, he couldn't help but frown in frustration.
What other reason could there be other than not taking yourself seriously?
Uncle Gu couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this. He just felt that something seemed wrong between the two of them.
He coughed lightly and said, "By the way, you two haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about. I'm having dinner here today. Will it bother you?"
How could Shen Ningsi not hear the probing meaning in Uncle Gu's words.
She just laughed softly, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. General Gu and I were only married in name only. When I married General Gu, everyone in his family repeatedly opposed it. General Gu must have been unwilling to be involved with someone like me."
"General Gu is now in a high position. There's really no need for him to associate himself with someone like me who has no background."
When Uncle Gu heard these words, he couldn't hide the shock on his face. At first, he felt that the way Gu Hong and Shen Ningsi got along was a little weird.
But Uncle Gu couldn't figure out what all this was for.
You know, Gu Hong is now a general!
As Shen Ningsi married Gu Hong when he was in obscurity, she will have countless good days to live in the future.
"Chen girl, don't blame Third Uncle for being too talkative. Third Uncle really can't understand why you have to be a superficial couple with Gu Hong."
Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Now his dissatisfaction with Gu Hong was already obvious.
"What does it matter if Dad holds a high official position? If he doesn't take care of Mom, then his so-called official position is nothing but an empty title to us."
Gu Xiuwen brought up the past again, "Mom suffered so much, wasn't it because he just walked away? He couldn't even handle the Wang Qiang incident properly, so how can I trust him to take good care of Mom?"
Uncle Gu glanced at Gu Hong and saw that the man's face became extremely gloomy again.
It was obvious that Gu Xiuwen's words made him very dissatisfied, but this time Gu Hong did not get angry directly, but instead hid his emotions.
After all, Uncle Gu was the one who watched Gu Hong grow up, so he couldn't help but say something for Gu Hong.
"Your father has a carefree personality and isn't a considerate person. But he has a good heart. Since he knows he didn't do some things well in the past, he will definitely find a way to correct them in the future."
"Third Uncle."
In the end, it was Shen Ningsi who interrupted Uncle Gu.
"Even without Gu Hong, I can still take good care of the children. On the contrary, with Gu Hong around, it will be much more troublesome."
Instead of hoping that Gu Hong can change his personality, it is better to give up the idea of relying on Gu Hong and rely on your own abilities from the beginning.
"Everyone might be unable to tolerate each other's temperaments, and instead be prone to quarrels, which would lead to children being mentally ill and irritable. Compared to these disadvantages, the benefits General Gu brings are insignificant."
"Ning Si thinks that it's best not to have anything to do with General Gu." She said word by word.
The words that Shen Ningsi said with a faint smile hit the heart directly, making people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Uncle Gu was a little stunned, "Then why are you still living together?"
From his traditional perspective, the two people's current actions do not seem to indicate that they do not want to have any contact with each other in the future.
Speaking of this, Shen Ningsi pulled up the corner of his mouth, "Now Gu Hong and I are just a couple on the surface. We may not even say a few words to each other in private. I can only say that maintaining a superficial relationship as a couple can save us a lot of trouble."
"Of course, the most crucial thing is that General Gu insisted on taking the children away. We had no choice but to let General Gu stay here to temporarily avoid separation between mother and children."
Gu Hong looked over coldly, unable to bear it any longer.
"Shen Ningsi, is this not good enough for you? What are you going to do? Whatever I do to give you status is just to take better care of you."
Gu Hong really couldn't understand why Shen Ning wanted to bring An An and Kang Kang with her, but she also wanted to bring Gu Xiuwen and the others with her.
"Just understand, Wen'er, Wu'er and the others are my children!"
Seeing that Shen Ningsi and Gu Hong were about to quarrel again, Gu Xiuwen directly stood on Shen Ningsi's side.
"Third Grandfather, we just had an argument about this matter. Now that you are here, my brother and I will make our stance clear to you."
Gu Xiuwen looked up at Shen Ningsi, the smile and attachment in his eyes were undisguised.
"My brother and I both want to stay with our mother. Even if she's not our biological mother, it doesn't matter. We remember all the kindness she's shown us."
Shen Ningsi is a kind-hearted person, and Gu Xiuwen's sincere words must have left a mark in her heart.
Shen Ningsi softened his gaze and didn't speak.
Just as Gu Xiuwen said, now that Third Uncle Gu is here, the two of them have made their attitudes clear, and the other members of the Gu family dare not say anything.
"Although we are still young, our family has gone through so many hardships, and we both know what is the best choice for both of us."
"We chose to stay with our mother. As long as we can stay with her, we are willing to endure poverty and hardship."
When Uncle Gu heard this, he looked at Gu Hong with a look of doubt in his eyes.
What on earth did this iron-headed kid do to make several children give up their rich and luxurious lives and follow Shen Ningsi?
How bad can this be?!
Shen Ningsi smiled and rubbed Gu Xiuwen’s hair.
"Don't worry, mother won't let you down. Since I, as your mother, have agreed to let you two stay with me, how could I let you live a hard life? As long as we work together, everything can be solved."
When Gu Hong heard the two people express their attitudes again, his face turned completely dark.
Relying on Uncle Gu's presence, Gu Hong sneered.
"Uncle San, you are the elder of the clan. You have seen so many people and things, so you should know best how hard life is for children without a father. These two brats have no idea what they are giving up by sitting down."
Gu Hong gnashed his teeth and said, "You should persuade them to stop talking nonsense!"
