The lunchbox in her hand was suddenly thrown to the ground. She couldn’t care less and rushed over, all the grievances she had suffered before turned into tears. She hugged Gu Juntao and cried intensely, feeling extrely wronged. Gu Juntao held Yang Hongying tightly, ignoring the laughter of the students around them and the shocked teachers, and kissed her hard.
The two of them registered their marriage certificate that afternoon. Gu Juntao told her that he had applied for a transfer to a governnt job with no real responsibilities and took Yang Hongying away imdiately because he didn’t want her to suffer in such a place.
Gu Juntao was determined this ti: "I will never leave you again. I’ve taken a big step forward, and I hope you can take a small step too. Stop avoiding ."
Yang Hongying sobbed and agreed: "I’m sorry, Jun Tao. You only retired for my sake."
"No need to apologize! I was never an excellent soldier; I could never advance based on my abilities anyway, and I don’t really care about that. As long as we can be together and enjoy a simple life, I don’t want to be involved in other people’s affairs."
Yang Hongying was naturally happy and hugged Gu Juntao, crying continuously.
She grew up spoiled, and she had suffered too much during this ti; everyone around her bullied her, secretly calling her a widow. She didn’t eat or sleep well.
Gu Juntao felt even more sorry for her and imdiately took her back.
Nowadays, she acted recklessly and revealed everything truthfully: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I know I’ve disappointed you with what I’ve done, but I can’t give her up. If you can accept , I’ll bring her back for the New Year. If you can’t, then I’m sorry, but I’ll co back alone in the future. Please stop hurting Yang Hongying; I’m the one who insisted she marry ."
Wang Guihua trembled all over, tears streaming uncontrollably: "Why? Are you really going to hurt your mother like this just for a divorced woman? Do you know how high my expectations are for you? Are you stabbing a knife into your mother’s heart? Did I raise you so well just for you to marry a widow?"
"Mom, I’ve grown up, and I have my own thoughts. Stop forcing to do things I can’t do. I’m sorry for disappointing you, but I’ll make it up to you in the future." Gu Juntao bowed and then turned to leave.
"Stop!" Gu Zishan shouted, "The New Year is just around the corner, where are you going?"
"But if you don’t accept ..."
"You’ve already registered your marriage, can you just not accept it? Tell Yang Hongying to co over for a al tomorrow."
"No!" Wang Guihua said anxiously, "You can’t agree to that!"
"What else can be done if you don’t agree now? Should they divorce? Do you want Gu Juntao to beco a man with two marriages?"
Wang Guihua held her handkerchief and sobbed uncontrollably. She knew there was no way there would be a divorce, but to accept this kind of daughter-in-law, she just couldn’t bring herself to be satisfied!
Gu Dongfang said, "Juntao, you’ve made your decision and have an idea for yourself. We can’t control you, but I hope this is the last ti you make us sad. Do you understand?"
Gu Juntao knew this ant that his grandpa had forgiven him, and he quickly responded with a smile, "Yes! I understand, Grandpa. Hongying is a good girl. With ti, you’ll see."
"Since she’s already part of our family, ask Mr. Yan and Yan Kai if they would like to co over, if they don’t mind, to have a al together!"
"Okay, I understand. I’ll go tell her right now." Gu Juntao breathed a sigh of relief. No one ntioned hosting a wedding for them, but Gu Juntao didn’t care about that anymore. As long as they accepted his wife, it was better than anything else.
Wang Guihua suddenly stood up and ran into her room. Without closing the door, they could hear her crying out loud. No one spoke, and Gu Zishan simply sighed.
These two sons, he couldn’t control either of them!
The atmosphere for the Wang Family’s New Year was dood to be unpleasant.
Bai Fanglan’s side wasn’t much better. Mainly because Wang Hu and Father Wang were not ho. These past few days, she helped her mother-in-law clean rooms, wash clothes, change bedspreads and curtains, make dumplings, steam buns, and fry atballs, exhausting her to the point of tears.
Her household skills were really inadequate, and Mrs. Wang didn’t say much about it. After all, Bai Fanglan was an accomplished scholar who spent all her ti studying, and she was quite accommodating. However, even with that, Bai Fanglan couldn’t handle it.
At night, she fell rigidly onto her bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling nothing but regret in her heart.
Wasn’t it good for to be the young lady of the Bai Family? Why did I insist on marrying into the Wang Family, where my husband is indifferent to , hasn’t even called once in all these days, and has no feelings for at all? My father-in-law doesn’t care about anything, and my mother-in-law is only focused on making a good wife and mother. I’m going crazy.
But since it’s the path I chose, I can only continue walking it.
The next morning, Mrs. Wang called her to get up: "We should buy so Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers, also so gifts, maybe so tobacco, alcohol, and tea to sell. You’ll have to visit the relatives with , since Wang Hu and your father-in-law aren’t here this year, it’s just the two of us."
Bai Fanglan felt like her whole body was falling apart but didn’t dare to lie in bed for too long, so she got up with Mrs. Wang.
After a simple breakfast, they went to the market. It was the most bustling ti, with every family out shopping for the New Year. Bai Fanglan stood among the crowd and saw many farrs carrying mountain goods and holding chickens, ducks, and fish.
They wore simple smiles and so even smoked traditional tobacco pipes.
A trace of disgust flashed through her eyes. Why are you all joining in the fun? There are already too many people in the city, and now you’re all coming here! How annoying.
Just then, soone tapped her on the shoulder, and when she turned around, she saw a girl in a red cotton-padded jacket standing in front of her, looking a bit haggard, but still dressed quite fashionably.
She hesitated for a mont, thinking she had seen her sowhere before.
"Sister, do you rember ? I’m Sun Lijuan! Sun Chan’s sister."
This ti, Bai Fanglan rembered. She had previously given the news, letting her and Zhao Xiuxia know about Sun Chan’s whereabouts, and they went to X City to cause a scene. Afterwards, Sun Lijuan got clever, and since she’s a doctor, she went to the hospital to find Bai Fanglan, but Bai Fanglan simply said she was busy and left. It was evident that her attitude was cold, so Sun Lijuan wisely left.
From then on, the two had not seen each other until now.
Bai Fanglan forced a smile. She wasn’t familiar with her and didn’t want to say much, only saying, "I’m accompanying my mother-in-law to buy New Year’s goods. I won’t disturb you."
"Oh, Sister Bai, you’re married? What does your husband do? Is he doing well?"
Bai Fanglan humd in response, very indifferent, not wanting to answer.
Sun Lijuan was selling chickens today because her family was very poor, and for her to buy a new set of clothes for the New Year, Zhao Xiuxia took a few chickens from ho to sell, but business wasn’t going well, so Sun Lijuan was a bit frustrated, not expecting to see Bai Fanglan here.
