It was obvious that Shen Ningsi didn't want to stain her hands with blood, but when Gu Hong heard this, he actually felt a rare sense of relief.
"What's the matter? Didn't you, Shen Ningsi, just say that you could handle everything with your own hands? Now you find that you can't do it anymore, and even things like dealing with game have to be left to me."
Shen Ningsi originally had a faint smile on his lips. After all, he needed help, so he had to at least give the other party a good face.
After hearing what Gu Hong said, the only smile left on the woman's face disappeared instantly.
"General Gu is right. Since I have already made a promise that I can live well without relying on anyone's help, I really cannot leave every little thing in my life in your hands."
After Shen Ningsi said this, a polite and distant smile appeared on his face again.
"Then I won't bother you, General Gu. It's better for you to stand here, so I don't have to worry about you not doing something right and ruining everyone's meal."
Gu Hong has now witnessed Shen Ningsi's ability to hide a knife behind a smile.
Look at what he said. Shen Ningsi had a faint smile on his face, but the words he said made people feel so uncomfortable.
Looking at Shen Ningsi's back as she turned and left, Gu Hong took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress all the awkward feelings in his heart.
"I didn't say I helped you, but I denied your ability. I just spoke too quickly. Don't take it to heart."
It was extremely surprising that these words could come out of Gu Hong's mouth. You have to know when Gu Hong has ever taken the initiative to admit his mistakes.
Those in the army who knew Gu Hong would probably be extremely surprised to hear this, but the person who heard this was Shen Ningsi.
"Zhang Jun, you don't have to take what I just said to heart. I just understood something from the general's words."
Shen Ningsi rolled up his sleeves skillfully, and the dislocated little finger did not affect Shen Ningsi's movements at all.
Just avoid using that finger.
Gu Hong's heart couldn't help but skip a beat when he saw Shen Ningsi picking up a pot that was bigger than half her body with one hand.
He quickly raised his hand and tried to snatch the thing from Shen Ningsi's hand.
"What are you doing? You're carrying something so heavy, and your injuries haven't healed yet. Why are you just picking it up? Can't you see I'm a grown man here? Why are you so stubborn?"
Gu Hong was so angry that his breathing became faster.
But Shen Ningsi just raised his hand to stop Gu Hong's action.
"General, I absolutely do not mean to be angry."
She looked at Gu Hong seriously. She really couldn't understand why Gu Hong was angry.
"I've made it very clear just now. I absolutely didn't say I was doing these things myself out of anger because of what the General said. I simply understood clearly from what the General said that if I want you to trust me to take care of several children, I have to do it without relying on any of your help."
Shen Ningsi said as she was about to push Gu Hong out of the kitchen.
"General, please don't just stand here. I'm busy enough here alone. If you were here too, I wouldn't know what to do next."
It was somewhat inconvenient to do things with one finger stretched out, and Shen Ningsi didn't want Gu Hong to see her embarrassed look.
Shen Ningsi didn't care how much suffering she had to endure behind the scenes, as long as Gu Hong could clearly realize in front of others that she could take care of her family without the help of any man.
Gu Hong stared at Shen Ningsi's eyes intently, and when she realized that the woman's eyes were indeed sincere and without any false intention, she suddenly felt a little powerless.
“Okay, Shen Ningsi, don’t push me outside. At worst, I won’t do anything.”
He couldn’t understand why there were women like Shen Ningsi in this world.
She clearly had someone to rely on, but out of pride, or perhaps something else, she resolutely refused to rely on others. Even because of a mistake she made by mistake, she could still work hard without complaining.
Gu Hong was somewhat helpless. "You are injured. I have to watch you from the side. In case anything happens..."
Gu Hong paused slightly here, looked away, and then continued.
"I'm not worried about you. I just know that if you get hurt, those two brats will probably come and mess with me again."
Gu Hong said so, Shen Ningsi naturally thought so, and she thought about it.
"General Gu, there's no need to worry about these things. I personally raised these two children, and I know their personalities well."
"Since our family is not planning to rely on General Gu's help, we will not blame Niu for his lack of help. After all, it was General Gu who proposed this nominal marriage. We all know that you have no obligation to help us privately."
Shen Ningsi had finished speaking, and her tone was still so ruthless that Gu Hong could not stay any longer even if he had more excuses. He left, looking back every few steps, and finally did not forget to close the kitchen door.
Gu Hong has never met anyone more difficult to deal with than Shen Ningsi in his life. This woman is simply unyielding.
At this moment, he suddenly heard some crying sounds. Before he could react, Gu Xiuwu, who was originally talking to Uncle Gu, rushed out and ran towards the direction of the crying sounds.
"Yun'er, is An'an Kangkang hungry again?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Hong rushed into the room where the crying sound came from. He was a little dazed when he saw the young Gu Xiuwu pick up the child and skillfully pat the child's back to coax him.
Gu Xiuwu didn't notice the man standing at the door, he whispered to Gu Yuner.
"Yun'er, go get two candies from under Mom's cupboard and ask Aunt Zhang next door to come over, okay? My brother's gone to deliver food to Third Grandpa, and I need to stay here to take care of An'an, so I really don't have time to spare."
Gu Xiuwu held An An in his arms with his free hand and tried to tease Kang Kang who was lying on the bed with no one taking care of him.
"Be good, Yun'er. I've already taken you to Aunt Zhang's house. It shouldn't be a difficult task. I believe Yun'er can do it."
Gu Hong had never seen his son speak so gently in his life.
He watched Gu Ying'er dragging her short legs and digging out a cloth bag, and Gu Xiuwu skillfully coaxing two crying babies, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"Isn't Shen Ningsi in the kitchen? Is there any need to look for Aunt Zhang?"
Suddenly hearing a man's low voice, Gu Xiuwu paused and looked over coldly.
"Mom is weak and has no milk. Can you please stop standing and talking without hurting your back?"
