She bit her lip and stood up straight, looking at the lights of the various buildings outside the window. I will establish myself in this city,
Sun Chan walked a few steps, turned back to Gu Junming, and said, "I think this Su Miao will be quite troubleso. She has high ambitions but not much capability."
"You’re right, and she’s also hypocritical and cunning." Gu Junming continued his stride.
Sun Chan couldn’t help but laugh, "Earlier, when you found out the location of her uncle’s ho, you seed to recall sothing. Are you acquainted?"
"Sort of, my brother lives opposite this family. He’s quite a clueless guy, but he seems to have improved recently. It’s too late today, not convenient; I’ll introduce you another day."
"Why didn’t your brother join the army?"
Gu Junming thought for a mont and then smiled, "That’s a good idea. Maybe I’ll have him attend a training camp to instill so sense into him."
Sun Chan nodded, and the two of them hurriedly bought tickets and headed back to X City.
anwhile, Han Dong just finished bathing and sneezed as he ca out of the bathroom, rubbing his nose, "What’s going on? Is soone bad-mouthing behind my back?"
Han’s mother, Tian Jinhua, was reading a dical magazine and looked up, "With all the trouble you’ve caused, it’s a wonder you’re not being cursed at." The woman in her forties had an intellectual aura.
"Mom! I’m not the sa as before. I’ve been diligently working in business; you’re just biased!"
Han’s father, Han Jinshan, also ca over, tall with sharp eyes, "Are you going to X City tomorrow?"
"Yes, I’m going to et soone." Han Dong stretched lazily and thought of Sun Chan.
Over the years, enduring hardships down south, experiencing suffering like never before, his body had thinned considerably. Fortunately, he shipped the fruits back and made a significant profit. He eagerly wanted soone to share his happiness.
The little girl, does she wonder about ?
Han Jinshan frowned, "Just back from the south, and instead of resting at ho, you’re looking to bother so girl again?"
Han Dong dried his hair with a damp towel, "I’m not bothering anyone! I’m pursuing. I truly like her! Don’t doubt it, this ti I genuinely want to find you a daughter-in-law."
Han Jinshan and Tian Jinhua exchanged looks and shook their heads. This troubleso child had been causing mischief since his teens, occasionally dating various girls dramatically, which then inevitably faded away. His words had long lost credibility.
Han Jinshan said, "If you could be like Gu Junming, would we still need to worry?"
"Exactly, if we had sent you to the military, all these troubles wouldn’t exist."
"Dad, Mom! I’m serious this ti. My brother is great, but I also..."
Thud! Han Dong shrank his neck as intense door banging startled him.
Imdiately, the sound of a couple’s argunt echoed in the hallway. They were surprised; the Zhao Family opposite had always been quiet. How could such a commotion arise?
Outside were Su Miao’s aunt, Su Jinxiu, and uncle, Zhao Yingjun, both watching TV at ho when they received a call saying Sun Jinxiu’s niece from the village had arrived and was waiting at the gate.
At the ti, Zhao Yingjun’s face looked unpleasant, "Why co seeking refuge without prior notice? Is this so act-before-informing tactic? Really treating us insignificantly?"
Su Jinxiu said, "Perhaps sothing happened at ho. I’ll ask her. Don’t be hasty." She married this man above her station, a village girl marrying a city cadre’s child, causing envy among many, but only she knew the true nature of it.
"What could be the matter? Village life involves farming, eating, and sleeping. Wasn’t I clear with you? Don’t provide them our address unnecessarily. You didn’t listen; look where that got you now? My mom always said not to marry soone from the village. I have no idea what possessed to marry you. If village folks co leeching every few days, how would I endure it?"
Pregnant, Sun Jinxiu listened to her husband’s biting words, suppressing her irritation to placate Zhao Yingjun, "I’ll see what she’s up to. If it’s not urgent, I’ll ask her to return. Don’t be angry."
"It’s late now. Forcing your niece out would only lead to gossip about us! Fine, you enjoy with your dear niece; I’m not participating." Zhao Yingjun said while grabbing his clothes, heading out.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the unit dormitory! Seriously annoying, I can’t tell if this place belongs to the Sus or the Zhaos, having to make room for your family!"
Su Jinxiu got angry too, arguing with him in the hallway, "How many have you invited over? Today’s your schoolmates, tomorrow your cousins. I’m heavily pregnant yet cooking and cleaning for them. My niece cos for the first ti, you haven’t even t her, and you’re already accusing her of mooching off us? Why not talk about your kin?"
"What’s wrong with my family? They’re all cultured!"
"Cultured?" Su Jinxiu sneered, "When your money went missing last ti, wasn’t it after they ca? Every ti they visit, our rice and oil are halved, don’t think I don’t know? I might be from the village, but I’m not penniless for you to look down upon! If you’re capable, don’t marry !"
Zhao Yingjun nearly blurted out, marrying you willingly was the last thing I wanted! But he swallowed it back.
Their age gap was significant; he was with Su Jinxiu while his wife was deathly ill, having a scandalous affair and getting her pregnant.
His wife conveniently passed away, and Su Jinxiu caused a huge fuss to enter the household. If they made a spectacle, he’d be the one embarrassed.
Their argunt continued in the hallway, Zhao Yingjun worried about being overheard, grabbed his wife, but Su Jinxiu, fuming, didn’t lower her voice, "If you can’t stand , I’ll leave, sparing you the sight!"
"Stop arguing!"
Tian Jinhua wanted to intervene, "She’s heavily pregnant, after all. Don’t make a scene unless sothing bad happens. Han Dong, go take a look."
Han Jinshan said, "Forget it, it’s nothing major. If Zhao Yingjun realizes we heard him, he’ll be difficult to deal with later."
Han Dong naturally wouldn’t ddle, heading to his room to pack his belongings, ready to see Sun Chan tomorrow.
Before long the couple left, and the hallway returned to peace.
Zhao Yingjun intended to leave but beca frozen upon seeing Su Miao. The girl was exceptionally attractive, nothing like soone from the village. Su Jinxiu sensed Zhao Yingjun’s stare, and her heart sank.
