Chapter 41 Confidante



After hearing what Su Shuoci said, Gu Jiaojiao was too embarrassed to look back.

"Let's go home quickly and see if today's buns are selling well."

"good."

The two men returned to the compound. It was not yet time to get off work, but there were still many people rushing on the road.

Some people go home early after get off work to cook for people they know or don’t know well.

When they saw Gu Jiaojiao and her husband, they automatically walked to the side of the road and looked at Su Shuoci with envy as he carried his hands full of fish and pork.

Especially since there were two cloth bags of rice and flour piled on the wheelchair, no one said anything to his face.

After they passed by, people started gossiping like crazy, saying things like, "It's nice to marry a disabled person, at least you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Especially Su's mother's former colleague, "That old woman from the countryside has no skills and gets paid for nothing."

"Didn't she resign?"

"Humph, she should have quit long ago. Her son is so capable, yet she's still clinging to the factory and eating for free."

"Her son was injured, so it's normal for the organization to arrange a job for her." said someone who was not from their factory.

"Have you heard? The Dong family's youngest daughter is coming back." A woman said mysteriously.

"Why would she care about us when she comes back?"

"Although it's none of our business, it's exciting to watch. Before Su Tuan was injured, the youngest daughter of the Dong family publicly pursued Su Tuan."

A woman's eyes rolled around and her voice became rhythmic.

"Let me tell you something, I live next door to the Dong family. Dong Yuanyuan once threatened to marry Su Tuan, but later she saw that Su Tuan was injured.

She cried and went to find her father and two brothers, who helped Su Tuan find a famous doctor to treat his leg.

Later, I heard from Dr. Jiang that not only were Su Tuan's legs disabled, but he also had no sensation below the waist.

Dong Yuanyuan went to perform in the south and has been gone for half a year. I heard she will be back in the next couple of days."

"You mean Dong Yuanyuan doesn't want to get married, so she goes out to perform?" a young daughter-in-law asked curiously.

"They're not engaged, so why bother trying to avoid it? If they didn't want to get married before, then coming back won't change anything."

Another older woman said nonchalantly.

"Before Su Tuan became disabled, many girls wanted to marry him. Doesn't your little daughter also want to get married?"

"Oh, if I had known he was so capable even though he was disabled, my daughter should have married him."

The woman who was squeezed was not embarrassed at all, and she sighed with regret.

Since she dared to bring it up, it proved that her daughter really wanted to marry Su Shuoci.

It’s just that it’s not easy to pursue Su Shuoci before he became disabled, and they don’t want to marry him after he became disabled.

But they didn't know that the chicken, duck, fish and meat that Su Shuoci brought every day were all bought by Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuoci both have good hearing, and even though they were far away, they could still hear clearly.

"Hearing what they said, tsk tsk, Su Shuoci, you have quite a few female confidantes."

Su Shuoci turned around and glanced at his wife. "I've never been engaged to anyone before, let alone a fiancée."

"Do you feel sorry?"

Su Shuoci stopped his wheelchair and looked at Gu Jiaojiao seriously, speaking word by word.

"Jiaojiao, they didn't like me as a person, they just liked my good future.

If there is a shortcut in life, who would want to take the muddy road?

Later, when I became disabled, they naturally chose to stay away from me, so why should I have any regrets?

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

People are awake!

Song Zijin liked Gu Jiaojiao so much back then, but after the real daughter of the Sheng family returned to the Sheng family, he cruelly dumped her original self!

"Su Tuan, Madam Su, you guys went out and bought so much meat again?" Su Shuoci's neighbor greeted enthusiastically.

"My father-in-law and his family are here, so I went to buy some meat. You guys are off work." Su Shuoci replied.

"Since your father-in-law is coming, we should buy more meat. Hehe, I'll be leaving first." The neighbor got on the big bar and left quickly.

He thought to himself that Su Tuan was different after getting married, and he was flattered by his amiable attitude.

In the past, every time someone greeted him, Su Tuan would never pay attention to him, so the neighbor walked a long way away and looked back at Gu Jiaojiao and the others.

Gu Jiaojiao was stunned by his actions. "Did he get out of the car just to say hello to you?"

"Um."

When Gu Jiaojiao and her friend returned home, Su's father and his friends had not returned from their stall yet, and the three members of the Gu family were still obediently peeling peanuts.

"Oh my god~ Grandpa, big brother, mom, you guys peeled so many peanuts in this morning?"

"This is not much, hehe, Jiaojiao, you are back." Brother Gu said with a smile.

"You guys take a rest for a while, I'll wash some apples for you to eat." Su Shuoci said with a smile.

Jiaojiao's grandfather and elder brother are still very honest. They peeled a large basin of peanuts this morning.

"You also bought apples?" Mr. Gu was very surprised.

"Well, Jiaojiao said that your bodies need to eat more fruits, so we also bought watermelon."

As Su Shuoci spoke, he went to the yard to press water to wash the apples, and also used well water to wash the watermelons.

They bought the watermelons, and the big, red Fuji apples were from Gu Jiaojiao's space, which were hard to find in this era.

Su Shuoci was also considerate enough to fetch water for the three members of the Gu family to wash their hands, and gave each of them an apple, including one for him and Gu Jiaojiao.

"Crunch..." Gu Jiaojiao ate the apple happily.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Gu also took a bite and looked at Su Shuoci with wide eyes: "This apple is sweet and crisp. Where did you buy it?"

"I bought it on the black market. We also bought some ginseng today. Jiaojiao said she would make chicken soup for everyone."

Su Shuoci leaned close to Grandpa Gu's ear and spoke mysteriously. In fact, Brother Gu and Mother Gu could hear it too.

Hearing him say this, the three people from the Gu family ate their apples without any burden.

And told them that the buns sold very well in the morning and they sold out soon after they went out and came back.

Second Brother Gu was still mumbling about making a hundred more buns to sell tomorrow, which made Gu Jiaojiao laugh.

Gu's father also went to sell cold noodles, so Gu's mother spoke a little louder because their family now had two laborers.

"Mom, you, grandpa, and big brother can just stay here and rest assured. Take good care of your health. Brother Shuoci is rich now and we won't lack food."

"Okay, okay, Jiaojiao, I'll set up a stall when I'm better." Brother Gu said in a good mood.

Gu Jiaojiao complained in her heart that this was all Brother Gu wanted, but she still patiently enlightened him.

"Brother, don't you have a job? When you're well again, just go back to your original unit."

"Am I physically fit enough to return to the army?"

"Of course you can. Shuo Ci can go back, so why not you? So don't feel any burden and just focus on recuperating.

Don't peel peanuts until your thumb gets red and swollen. My original intention was just to give you something to do."

"Hehe, it doesn't hurt at all." Mother Gu said embarrassedly.

They were afraid that they didn't peel enough and would feel embarrassed to face their son-in-law and the Su family.
