"General Gu, you've asked everything you need to ask, and you've also exposed the wound. Do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Ning thought this meant to drive the guests away.
Gu Hong's heartbeat was rare and fast. The tear that Shen Ningsi just shed burned his heart.
Gu Hong had forgotten everything. He didn't want to care about the fact that Shen Ningsi couldn't remember his appearance and didn't spend time looking for him.
"Gu! Are you really willing to stay with Gu Hong?!"
Gu Hong's voice was very deep. "You have only met a few times. Do you think you will have to live with the tablet in your arms from now on?"
Shen Ningsi lowered his eyes.
Gu Sanshui was still testing her. Could she say she didn't want to? As soon as she said that, she was afraid that Gu Sanshui would take back all the benefits he had given her during this period.
She turned around, her eyes clear, "Of course I am willing. My late husband is the most responsible person I have ever met in my life. Although we were together for a short time, his voice, appearance and smile have never faded from my heart."
Shen Ningsi took out a handkerchief and covered her eyes. "I really don't want to believe that my late husband really died on the battlefield. I really miss him."
Gu Hong couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He had worked his way up from a fireman to the commander of the Gu family army and had already received countless praises. This was the first time that Gu Hong felt excited by the praise.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and Gu Hong waved his hand, "Don't say these words casually in the future. Women should still know their shame."
Shen Ningsi was speechless.
Why did she say these words? Isn't it because she wanted Gu Hong's brother to stop stirring up trouble here!
She was going to do business, and business only considers profit. When did she consider gender? If she could get rid of this plague god quickly, Shen Ningsi would burn incense! Now, naturally, whatever Gu Hong said, Shen Ningsi agreed.
She wiped the red corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said, "I just couldn't help myself at the moment. I won't tell you about it later."
Gu Hong couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He didn't think Shen Ningsi's words were frivolous, he thought these words should be said in the boudoir. He didn't know why the good words changed their taste when they came out of his mouth.
Gu Hong struggled for a long time before speaking stiffly, "I believe what you said is true, but you should also be careful about how you handle things. I would overthink it if I saw you joking with Fan Xing, let alone others."
Shen Ningsi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this gentleman had finally returned to normal.
She had no intention of softening her stance. "General Gu, just like Brother Wen said, it would have been fine if you hadn't mentioned my late husband. I can still let you stay home for various reasons."
"But now I can't. Whenever I see you, I think of my late husband. It's really heartbreaking and I'm completely hopeless."
Shen Ningsi's face looked bad to begin with, and the anger just now made it even uglier.
General Gu Hong actually became somewhat bewildered. He whispered, "Gu, this general..."
He wanted to tell Shen Ningsi his identity just like that, but the words circled on the tip of his tongue and Gu Hong swallowed them back into his stomach.
He used to think that Shen Ningsi probably had no feelings for him, so Gu Hong couldn't help but take Shen Ningsi's feelings into consideration. But now that Gu Hong knew that Shen Ningsi was deeply in love, how could he continue to be so hard-hearted?
Gu Hong took a step back and said, "Gu, your wish will come true."
"Thanks to the general." Shen Ningsi bowed.
Her current wish is not ridiculous. She just wants to be able to eat meat every day and find a way to make a living in the capital in the future.
Shen Ningsi didn't force anything else.
Seeing Gu Sanshui finally leave their house, Shen Ningsi breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment his face turned stern again and he called the two brothers to his yard.
"Tell me, what did you do wrong today?"
Gu Xiuwu was the first to raise his hand, "I didn't beat General Gu down the moment he opened his mouth to speak!"
He waved his fist viciously, "Mom, don't I know who you are? He just relies on his imagination to put all the blame on me!"
It would be fine if there was a man as strong as him who could protect Mother. But Lord Fan looked so frail and could be kicked down at any time, how could he stay by Mother's side!
Shen Ningsi closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the anger in his eyes did not dissipate.
She tapped Gu Xiuwu on the forehead with her pen and said, "Go stand in the corner!"
She took a deep breath, and after calming down a little, she asked Gu Xiuwen, "Wen'er, I believe you understand."
"Mother, we really can't afford to offend General Gu, but mother, can't you stand up and speak for me?"
Gu Xiuwen looked at Shen Ningsi seriously, “Mother can’t bear to see me being scolded, and I can’t bear to see my mother being wronged by General Gu.”
Facing those clear eyes, Shen Ningsi felt a sudden soreness in the tip of his nose.
She has indeed been very good to these children during the time she has been here, but Shen Ningsi feels that this is her responsibility and she is someone she cannot give up on no matter what.
She never thought about asking these children to repay her. It was these children who were sensible and knew how to be grateful.
Shen Ningsi's fingers trembled a little. She picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Forget it, since Gu Sanshui has moved out of our house, it is impossible for us to have any contact with this person in the future according to our status. It's okay if we offended him. It's not a big deal."
She stretched her shoulders and said, "Wu'er, don't stand there anymore. Help me in the kitchen. I just saw a villager put out some scapula bones and pig's trotters. Let's make braised meat today."
Being used to the abundance of fish and meat in the modern world, Shen Ningsi really couldn't stand a life without meat. It was just that he needed to ask Gu Sanshui for help with hunting, but Shen Ningsi was too embarrassed to ask.
Fortunately, she can still survive on the meat sent by the villagers these days. When she gets better, she will find a way to make some traps and put them on Rabbit Mountain. She doesn't try to catch big animals like wild boars, but catching a few rabbits will improve everyone's food.
In the kitchen.
Gu Xiuwu was chopping bones under Shen Ningsi's command. He saw Shen Ningsi pour half a can of lard into the pot out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes widened.
"Mom! Let's use all the lard! Why do we need so much?"
Shen Ningsi looked at the lard that barely covered the bottom of the pot, less than three tablespoons, and sighed.
How hard were the days before this? Only then did a carefree person like Gu Xiuwu know how rare these lards were. Shen Ningsi vowed in his heart that he must lead his children to a good life as soon as possible!
"If we don't use enough oil, how can the dish be fragrant? We've used such good pig's trotters and braised pork, so let's make it better."
Shen Ningsi blinked, "Besides, if what we make tastes good, we can sell it, right?"
