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 are familiar with or unfamiliar with.
When they saw Gu Jiaojiao and his wife, they automatically walked to the side of the road and looked at Su Shuoci with envy at 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 nothing more than that it was nice to marry a disabled person, at least you wouldn't have to worry about food and shelter.
Especially Su's mother's former colleague, "That old woman from the countryside has no skills but gets paid for nothing."
"Didn't she resign?"
"Humph, she should have quit long ago. Her son is so capable, but she still stays in the factory and eats 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 come back to care about us?"
"Although it has nothing to do with us, it's exciting to watch. Before Su Tuan was injured, the youngest daughter of the Dong family pursued Su Tuan in a high-profile manner."
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 Doctor Jiang that not only was Su Tuan's legs disabled, but he also had no feeling below the waist.
Dong Yuanyuan went to perform in the south and stayed there for half a year. I heard she will be back in the next two 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 don't have an engagement, so why bother trying to avoid it? Since they didn't want to get married before, coming back won't change anything."
Another older woman said nonchalantly.
"Before Su Tuan became disabled, many girls wanted to marry him. Your little daughter also wanted to get married."
"Oh, if I had known that 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. She even 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 it clearly.
"Hearing what they said, tsk tsk, Su Shuoci, you have quite a few female confidantes."
Su Shuoci looked back at his wife and said, "I have never discussed marriage with anyone before, let alone a fiancée."
"Do you feel sorry?"
Su Shuoci stopped his wheelchair, looked at Gu Jiaojiao seriously and spoke 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 what do I have to regret? "
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
People are sober now! Song Zijin liked Gu Jiaojiao so much back then, but after the real daughter of the Sheng family returned to the Sheng family, he still cruelly dumped her original self!
"Su Tuan, Madam Su, you guys went out to buy so much meat again?" Su Shuoci greeted enthusiastically from his neighbor.
"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, you should buy more meat. Hehe, I'll leave 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.
Every time he greeted him in the past, 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 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, brother, mom, you guys peeled so many peanuts in the whole morning?"
"This is not much, hehe, Jiaojiao, you are back." Brother Gu said with a smile.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You guys take a rest for a while, I'll go 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 bought some watermelons."
As Su Shuoci said this, 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 buy 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 crispy. 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.
When the three members of the Gu family heard him say this, they ate their apples without any burden.
And told them both that the buns sold very well in the morning and they had sold out soon before returning.
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 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 get better." Brother Gu said in a good mood
Gu Jiaojiao complained in her heart that this was the extent of Brother Gu's pursuit, but she still patiently guided him.
"Brother, don't you have a job? When you are well again, 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 thumbs are 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 had not peeled enough and would be embarrassed to face their son-in-law and the Su family.
