Tang Chuxia curiously poked her head out to look outside.
Who was causing a commotion at the ward door?
As soon as she stuck her head out, she heard the soldiers trying to stop soone, but the person was very aggressive, insisting on barging in.
Tang Chuxia looked around; she was the only woman in this room. If soone was looking for a wife, could it be her?
Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai obviously had the sa thought. He walked out with a cold face.
As soon as he got outside, he saw a man with his hands on his hips shouting at the soldiers.
He was truly being quite arrogant.
Tang Chuxia peeked through the door but was pulled back by Tang Jianzheng who held her head down.
"What are you ddling in for no reason? Go back and lie down!"
Tang Chuxia had no choice but to go back and obediently lie down.
But her ears were perked up.
She was indeed very curious about who was coming to look for a wife and had found their way to her.
Sure enough, at any ti, the innate curiosity of our people is hard to change.
Though Tang Chuxia couldn’t go out, Peng Fei could, and he gleefully bragged to Tang Chuxia, "Sis-in-law, you just rest here, I’ll go have a look and see what’s going on!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
She had eyes; she could see for herself.
But at that mont, she had no choice but to pull the quilt over her head.
Sleep was probably the best option.
The noise at the door grew louder, and Tang Chuxia was really curious about what was going on.
Luckily, the incoming people were loud enough that she could barely make out what was happening.
"I’m telling you all, I am here to find my wife. If you don’t let in, I’ll report you to your superior!"
Listening to his arrogant tone, one could imagine how formidable he usually was.
Gu Beihuai stood at the door and, seeing the arrogant guy, imdiately kicked him: "Your wife? Who is your wife?"
The man evidently didn’t expect soone to directly use their foot; he ended up sitting on the ground. Given his age, he certainly wasn’t a match for Gu Beihuai’s strength.
"How dare you kick , do you know who I am?"
Gu Beihuai yelled, "I don’t care who you are! All I know is that you bastard are looking for a wife; who are you looking for?"
The man exclaid but was rather peculiar-tempered; upon hearing Gu Beihuai’s question, he didn’t get angry, "Hehe, little brother, I can tell you’re quick-tempered, I like that. But I really ca here to find my wife, the wife assigned by the superior!"
Gu Beihuai picked his ear: "What kind of superior is so good that they dare assign wives?"
Even in the army, they wouldn’t dare say they’re assigning wives, at most suggesting a social.
Of course, there’d be people to facilitate such interactions.
But that’s not sothing to be spoken out loud.
How dare this guy say so?
"Ah, little brother, I see you ca out from the ward, you must know my wife, could you be my brother-in-law? But didn’t I rember brother-in-law got a leg injury, your leg’s fine now? Should I celebrate for you?"
The man spoke while feeling around but couldn’t find anything on him, finally pulling out a gold watch from his wrist.
He handed the gold watch to Gu Beihuai: "Brother-in-law, this is a gift for our first eting, don’t look down on it. I just like these shiny gold things. It’s good stuff, imported from Old Arica!"
The man smirked slyly, looking utterly despicable.
Gu Beihuai took the gold watch and looked at the man, feeling even more annoyed.
"Brother-in-law, may I go in and see my wife?"
The man craned his neck to look inside, but not being tall, with a short neck, he couldn’t see much in front of Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai threw the gold watch back at the man.
"Get lost, what are you looking at? Inside is only my wife!"
He shouldn’t have said anything, as soon as he did, the man was displeased.
He looked around, then at the soldiers guarding the place: "Nonsense, I’ve inquired thoroughly. The room guarded is my wife’s!"
He even pointed to several bags of gifts placed beside the door, all ticulously arranged as a greeting present for his future wife.
Tang Jianzheng, who had been watching from behind, naturally recognized this guy. He was the old man who previously attempted to forcefully marry Tang Chuxia.
Earlier, when Gu Beihuai went looking for him, they said the man ran away. Actually, he didn’t run but went shopping, and Gu Beihuai didn’t catch him.
Now the man had co knocking of his own accord.
Gu Beihuai definitely recognized this guy, hence blocking the door, not letting the old man in.
Tang Jianzheng enjoyed watching the drama. Since Tang Chuxia was now married, he might as well let Gu Beihuai deal with it alone.
He watched excitedly, while Old Man Gu and Old Man Sun ca over hearing the commotion.
The two old n initially watched for amusent, but the more they watched, the more things didn’t feel right, eventually figuring out the issue.
Especially Old Man Gu.
He finally realized that this man’s target was his granddaughter-in-law.
Just as they got rid of Sun Qingyuan, why was there another one?
Old Man Gu grew displeased.
He went up to Gu Beihuai: "What’s going on with you, boy? Can’t even protect your own wife, is that it? Everyone’s coming to snatch her. Don’t you know how to show so manly prowess?"
Gu Beihuai: ...
Grandpa would really say anything.
Is this the ti to show manly charm?
This was rely testing patience with an old geezer.
Seeing Gu Beihuai silent, Old Man Gu was about to roll up his sleeves and step up, but Old Man Sun spoke in a mocking tone: "They say a girl has many suitors; see, it’s not just my grandson wanting to marry her, others have an eye on her too."
Old Man Gu didn’t want to deal with Old Man Sun, but he was too annoying.
How could he speak like that?
Old Man Gu now really wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight, but not against the old man, against Old Man Sun.
Both old n were nearly at the point of needing canes for stability, yet they threw them away and started swinging fists.
The scene was sowhat impressive, and it beca chaotic in no ti. Tang Jianzheng and Gu Beihuai couldn’t just stand by and watch; they rushed over to diate.
Seeing them absorbed in the chaos, the old man, realizing nobody was watching him, handed gift bags to the soldiers, making it so they couldn’t stop him, and slipped into the ward.
Tang Chuxia had been listening when the old man suddenly appeared before her, but she didn’t panic.
"Ah, you must be my wife!"
The old man rubbed his hands, seemingly surprised by Tang Chuxia’s appearance; probably because the photos he had seen in the papers before were so striking, and now seeing Tang Chuxia lying on the bed, quite giving a Lin Daiyu vibe, left the old man dumbfounded.
Initially excited, his expression rapidly changed.
"Why so skinny? Doesn’t your family feed you?"
The old man was rough, truly rough, speaking with blunt straightforwardness.
Tang Chuxia shook her head, making the old man more frustrated: "So skinny, how can I marry you back? Holding you to sleep, won’t I get jabbed?"
Tang Chuxia:...
