Chapter 202 Completely Disappointed
It's no wonder he thought so. He brought Gu Jingxi into the thinking of the Gu family. He felt that no matter whether it was the Gu family in Beijing or the Gu family in Yuncheng, they were all upright people. Even if Gu Jingxi was deceived for a while, she would leave without hesitation after knowing it. What's more, Commander Gu had already asked her to give him a way out, so there was no reason for her not to take the opportunity.
"We'll wait and see tomorrow. I tell you, you're bound to lose." Seeing his expression, Ruan Ruan could roughly guess what he was thinking, but let's wait and see tomorrow. In fact, she also hoped that she was wrong.
If that's the case, best.
In the following time, Huo Haocheng told her some gossip in the compound and some interesting things they encountered when they were on missions.
In order to meet her legendary cousin earlier the next day, the two went to bed at night when it was dark and fell asleep before midnight.
The next day, they had dinner early, calculated the time, and went out with some food at around 8 o'clock.
On the way, I also saw Gu Jinghe and Dr. Jiang who were also returning to their parents' home. After they said Happy New Year to each other, they parted ways.
When they arrived at Gu's house, they chatted with their uncle and Teacher Shen for a while, and also helped check Xiao Ming's homework.
The clock pointed to 10:30 and no one came. Huo Haocheng thought that this person might not come back. He was playing with his wife's fingers out of boredom when he heard a noisy chirping sound outside the yard.
"what happened?"
The whole family came over to check immediately.
When they came out, a sister-in-law immediately shouted loudly, "Commander Gu and Teacher Shen are out, please make way, let Gu Jingxi and her lover come over!"
After hearing their sister-in-law's call, they knew what was going on. However, Huo Haocheng did not expect that Ruan Ruan was right and Gu Jingxi really came back with someone.
As I walked out of the yard, I saw Gu Jingxi and her husband Xiao Li surrounded by a group of aunts, grandmothers, sisters-in-law, and children.
After a few glances, the wounds on Gu Jingxi's face were mostly healed, and her complexion was better than before. It seemed that in the past few days, she had said a lot in front of her in-laws that she had been forgiven by her family, otherwise Xiao Li would not have come back with her today.
Seeing that they only brought back half a pound of brown sugar, a cabbage and a few potatoes, Commander Gu's face turned red with anger. Teacher Shen at the side was not much better. It's not that they care about your things, but today is the New Year's return visit. The couple are both formal workers. Can't they give a better gift to the mother's family?
Seeing that they didn't say anything, a few more straightforward aunts noticed that what Gu Jingxi was holding was in a transparent bag, so they could see it clearly at a glance.
"Comrade Gu Jingxi, when you and your wife return home, please bring a cabbage and some potatoes to your parents!" She didn't want to cause trouble. As the leader of the military region, Commander Gu wanted their husbands and sons to have a good life, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him. But this aunt was also a straightforward person. If her daughter came home for the holidays and brought back such a broken thing, she would beat them out with a broom.
Hearing what the aunt said, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Jingxi, who was already embarrassed, couldn't help smiling after hearing the laughter. "Mom, Dad, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to buy you something nice, but I really have no money. Life is not easy at home. These things are what we left with great difficulty. I hope you don't mind."
Commander Gu, who was already in a bad mood, became furious after hearing her words. "What do you mean you really have no money? The monthly salary of the two of you is about 60 or 70 yuan. Even if you subsidize the family on weekdays, the remaining money is enough for the two of you to live on. Now you come to tell me that you have no money, then tell me, you don’t have a child, where does the money go?"
Commander Gu looked at them with eyes that seemed to want to eat them, and Xiao Li was frightened at once. He had done a lot of sneaky things in his daily life, so he was afraid of facing the public security comrades and military comrades, let alone someone like Commander Gu who had fought in the battlefield.
He was so scared that he pulled Gu Jingxi in front of him and didn't dare to look at them.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I gave my salary to Xiao Li's younger brother." She didn't want to do that, but without her natal family's support, facing the coercion and inducement of her husband's family and the scolding of the old woman, she had no choice but to give up her job.
At first they agreed that he could have the job, but he also had to give her 5 dollars a month as her pocket money. However, when the salary came, his brother took the money directly to gamble, and every time he lost every penny.
At the beginning, his grandmother and mother would say a few words to him, but later, as the frequency increased, it was rare for them to talk to him. Now, he has even outsourced his work. There is no other way. Without a salary, the family's life has become even more difficult.
The reason why she was beaten before was because her job was transferred away. She was so angry that she argued with him for a few words, and then she was beaten by her grandmother and mother-in-law together.
Hearing her words, Commander Gu was so angry that he laughed, "So what are you doing here today?"
He didn't believe that they would come to his house for no reason.
"Dad, can you help me find a job? My family is in such a difficult situation right now. His brother is getting married, and my mother-in-law wants to move to a bigger house because our house is too small."
In Gu Jingxi's eyes, since her father asked Gu Jinghe to convey a message to her, it meant that he had forgiven her. Then as his daughter, there would be no problem in helping her find a new job.
Hearing her stupid request, Commander Gu was very disappointed with her. He looked at his wife beside him and saw her ruthless expression. He knew that they were thinking the same thing. Ever since she brought Xiao Li back, they had been disappointed in her and regretted letting Gu Jinghe go find her.
"Go back. Since we have already arranged a job for you, we will not arrange one for you a second time. As for how you lost your job, it has nothing to do with us. I still say that from now on, I, Gu Wenpeng, have nothing to do with you, Gu Jingxi. Whether you die outside or not, it has nothing to do with us. Take your people and get out of here."
After saying that, Commander Gu took Teacher Shen back to the house. He thought that they had been smart all their lives. Although their two sons were not very smart, they were not stupid to this extent. How could they give birth to such a daughter?
After hearing Commander Gu's words, Gu Jingxi felt as if she was struck by lightning and she immediately lost all strength. Xiao Li, who was beside her, did not even think of helping her up and just watched her kneeling on the ground.
"Why are you trying to threaten my parents with this self-torture trick?"
Gu Jingming was already ten years old when Gu Jingxi got married. He couldn't understand why his sister would hurt his parents so much for a good-for-nothing man. He still remembered that when the incident with Gu Jingxi happened, Teacher Shen often hid away alone and shed tears. After wiping her tears, she had to cheer up and take care of him and study in class. During that time, Teacher Shen lost a lot of weight. Even his father, who was usually not very serious with him, was listless during that time and kept a close eye on him and Gu Jinghe.
"Brother, please help me, help me talk to my dad, I really have no other choice now, if I don't have a job, I will really die"
When she thought about what she had said in the past few days at her husband's house, and the promise she made to her grandmother and mother-in-law when she left home today, she was really scared. If there was no good result when she returned home today, she would definitely be beaten.
"This is your business. You said it yourself at the beginning. You don't need outsiders like us to interfere in your life, let alone your parents. You will live a happy life without them, right?"
"Get out of here now, or I'll ask my brother-in-law to kick you out." He looked at Huo Haocheng behind him.
When Xiao Li saw Huo Haocheng, who was a head taller than him and wearing a military uniform, staring at him, he was so scared that he didn't care about the people on the ground and ran away.
When Gu Jingxi regained consciousness, he had already disappeared. She had no choice but to take her things and go back to make plans later.
