Chapter 32 Return to the City

“Ah, so that person is Old Eight Gu!” “Tsk, they’re living together before they’re even married, and he doesn’t even go home. If they get married, will he even care about his parents? One is clueless, and two is shameless, pfft!” As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area fell silent, and everyone silently moved away from the speaker.

 The Gu family’s sisters-in-law stepped forward and surrounded the speaker. “Sun Honghua, why do you need to meddle in our family’s business? I think you just haven’t been disciplined enough, you haven’t learned your lesson!” “Can’t you see that our little uncle is injured? He didn’t go home because he was rescued by Xiaolan in the mountains, and his mission isn’t over yet, so he can’t be exposed.”

 “That’s right, Sun Honghua, you’re just dirty-minded, so you think everyone else is as dirty-minded as you.” “Sisters-in-law, let’s give her a good beating today, so she won’t spread rumors and ruin Xiaolan’s reputation.” The third Gu family daughter-in-law yelled, and with a raised hand, she charged towards Sun Honghua. The first and second Gu family daughters-in-law followed closely behind, beating Sun Honghua until she screamed.

 Those who had just spoken ill of Qian Xiaolan were frightened and retreated, hiding themselves in the crowd. My goodness, the Gu family’s daughters-in-law were really one more fierce than the next. Gu Yanqing looked towards the commotion, but Hu Guifen pressed him back: “Don’t worry about those gossiping women, they’re all just bored.

” A cold glint flashed in Gu Yanqing’s eyes, and he nodded obediently. At this moment, Gu Yanqing’s comrades and subordinates finally realized they were wrong and kept apologizing to Qian Xiaolan. Qian Xiaolan waved her hand indifferently, rolled up her sleeves, and went over to hand tools to the three Gu family sisters-in-law. This action left the two of them speechless, and Gu Yanqing smiled happily. Hu Guifen had been talking for a long time, and seeing that Gu Yanqing didn’t react at all, she looked up and saw his worthless appearance, and she grabbed his ears in anger.

 “Gu Yanqing, did you hear what I said? If you don’t take good care of your body and develop some kind of aftereffect, I’ll make Xiaolan marry someone else!” Gu Yanqing was stunned: “Mom, you’re my mom, right?” Hu Guifen put her hands on her hips: “If I weren’t your mom, would Xiaolan be yours?” Gu Yanqing: “…” He was speechless, but he was secretly very happy. Xiaolan finally met a mother-in-law who protected her in this life. It wasn’t early, Hu Guifen called out to Qian Xiaolan, asking her to say goodbye to Gu Yanqing. Gu Yanqing didn’t say anything, but his pitiful eyes seemed to say everything. Qian Xiaolan smiled and rolled her eyes at him: “Okay, okay, I’ll go to the provincial hospital to see you in two days.” Gu Yanqing was overjoyed.

 As a result, on the second day, the old man’s transfer order came down. They needed to return to the city as soon as possible to transfer their jobs. Qian Xiaolan was busy packing their luggage and preparing food for the journey. After two days of busy work, everything was ready, and the car to pick them up would arrive soon. The villagers looked at Qian Xiaolan and the old man, bidding farewell with reluctance, feeling both sour and envious.

They regretted it, if they had known that these people could return to the city, they should have treated them well. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. Qian Xiaolan pulled Gu’s family and Gu Shengli to the mule shed to talk. Rongqian held Hu Guifen’s hand, the two old men held Gu Shuli and Gu Changshun, and Qian Rongsheng pulled Gu’s brothers, all asking them to take good care of Qian Xiaolan. This confused everyone. Qian Xiaolan realized that she had forgotten to tell Gu’s family that Rongqian was her real mother. She smiled awkwardly and reintroduced them.

Hu Guifen’s face changed when she heard this, and she blurted out: “Are you going to cancel Xiaolan and my Yanqing’s marriage?” This reaction made Rongqian laugh, she shook her head: “Yanqing is a good boy, we are all very satisfied with him.” The Gu family all felt relieved, but they also envied Gu Yanqing for his good fortune. Hu Guifen patted her chest and assured them: “Don’t worry, in-laws, as long as we Gu family members are here, we won’t let Xiaolan suffer any injustice in the village. Of course, if that stinky boy Gu Yanqing dares to treat Xiaolan badly, I’ll be the first to break his leg.

” Rongqian and the others all believed her words, they had been in the village for a few years, and the two Gu family members were the best people they had met. Two military jeeps slowly drove into the village and stopped in front of the mule shed. When the villagers saw the soldiers getting off the car saluting the old man and calling him “Old Chief,” their regret reached its peak. What a big official! If they had been nice to these people back then, wouldn’t they be able to enjoy life in the city now? The luggage was carried onto the car bag by bag, and the villagers also hurriedly went home to get some local products, such as dried vegetables, salted vegetables, and pickled salted fish, to give to the old men. Unfortunately, none of them were accepted.

This made everyone very embarrassed, and someone muttered: “Why did they accept Qian Xiaolan’s things but not theirs? The old leader just looks down on them, these country bumpkins.” As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the two drivers darkened: “Be careful what you say!” Gu Shengli even cursed: “Are you people disgusting? When they were down and out, you all stepped on them, and now that they’re doing well, you come running to curry favor. You people are simply a disgrace to us hardworking and simple farmers!”

 “Do you know why they accepted Qian Xiaolan’s things? Because they are Qian Xiaolan’s family, her real family! Wang Juhua, that shameless woman, stole Xiaolan back then in the hospital, causing her family to search for her for over a decade.”

“Now that they’ve found their family, what’s wrong with them accepting some things from their daughter and granddaughter?” “Are you envious? Jealous? Didn’t expect it? Want others to accept your things and give you some benefits? Do more good deeds first! You losers!” Gu Shengli’s mouth “blah blah blah” output a burst of words, shocking everyone. To be honest, Qian Xiaolan was also surprised. This was the first time she had seen Gu Shengli get so angry. Hearing these words, Old Man Qian felt relieved, and he waved his hand to Gu Shengli happily: “Captain Gu, calm down, although they haven’t helped us these years, they haven’t directly scolded us, so it’s not bad.

In the future, you should focus on production, and I hope that one day we will return to this place and see a thriving village.” Gu Shengli immediately became as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he responded loudly: “I will definitely live up to the leader’s expectations!” The car slowly started, and until it left the village and was no longer visible, the villagers suddenly erupted in a burst of exclamations.

“Ah—no, that, I seem to have heard the captain say that Xiaolan and the old chief are related?” “Yes, yes, it seems like there was something like that!” “Oh my, if Xiaolan’s family wants to avenge her, then Qian Changcai and his wife are in danger.” Someone gloated. Qian Changcai and his wife were stunned when they heard that Qian Xiaolan and the old chief were family, and they still hadn’t recovered.

“My God! Doesn’t that mean Xiaolan is going to be rich? Did she go back to the city now? Does her marriage to Old Eight Gu still stand?”… Hu Guifen didn’t even bother with these people, she pulled her family and left.

Gu Shengli took his tobacco pipe and yelled at his team members: “Get out, get out, all of you go back to work, this has nothing to do with you!”
