Chapter 19 Encounter with Wen Zhuqing

Yao Chunhua was gratified by her daughter's maturity. Since she was pulled out of the river after jumping in last time, her daughter has really changed a lot.

How could a person change so much overnight? Yao Chunhua had a vague feeling that her daughter must have suffered a lot in places she hadn't seen. Thinking this, she felt both gratified and heartbroken.

"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of your second sister-in-law."

Gu Jianing shook her head, not feeling anything was wrong. After she jumped into the river and was pulled out, her second brother immediately killed the old hen that was originally meant for his wife to eat during her postpartum period and made soup. His wife had no objections. What you give, you receive in return.

After her rebirth, Gu Jia learned a lesson: she would treat those who were good to her well, and she would not be polite to those who were not.

When Gu Jianing went out to the old house, Yao Chunhua carried two cans of milk powder into her daughter-in-law's room.

Because she was still in her postpartum period, Su Miao couldn't go to help today, but she kept her ears perked up, listening to the lively commotion outside.

Hearing her husband come in and say that it was a betrothal gift from Officer Sheng, Su Miao couldn't help but sigh, thinking how lucky her sister-in-law was.

Of course, despite her envy, Su Miao felt that it was not bad for her to marry into the Gu family and marry Gu Yunnan.

Looking at her son Zhuangzhuang lying beside her, her eyes softened even more.

Just then, there was a noise outside the door, and my mother-in-law came in, carrying something in her arms. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two cans of milk powder.

After her mother-in-law put down the milk powder and explained her purpose, Su Miao hurriedly said, "Mother, no, this is an engagement gift from Officer Sheng to my sister-in-law, how can it be given to me?"

Milk powder is an extremely expensive and hard-to-buy item even in the city.

Although she knew that her son would grow up better if he drank the formula, Su Miao felt that she couldn't be greedy, as it belonged to her sister-in-law.

“This is what Ningning specifically asked you to give. Not only you, but others also have other things. This is also Ningning’s way of showing her love and care for her nephew as his aunt. Just take it.”

Yao Chunhua's request was not to be refused. Su Miao hadn't expected that it was her sister-in-law who had specifically asked her to do it. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she was deeply moved.

"No need to say thank you, just keep it in your heart. But don't cry, crying during postpartum confinement can cause blindness."

Su Miao quickly composed herself; she wasn't crying, she was happy.

Yao Chunhua had to prepare lunch, so she didn't stay long.

When Gu Yunnan came in, Su Miao's eyes were still red, and when she saw the two cans of milk powder on the table, she asked him what had happened.

"Since Mom said it was given by Ningning, then we'll accept it. With these two cans of milk powder, Zhuangzhuang will grow up even better."

"Recently, I've had more time to go up the mountain and try to hunt more game."

"it is good."

Gu Yunnan sighed, saying that outsiders all say that the Gu family spoils Gu Jianing too much, but in fact they are not blind, and there are reasons for spoiling Gu Jianing.

From a young age, Ningning would share anything good with her three brothers.

Sometimes when they make mistakes and are about to be punished, Ningning will protect them.

Although Ningning is a bit demanding, she's just a bit spoiled, and they're willing to pamper their little sister.

It was after meeting Wen Zhiqing that Ningning began to change.

But they felt that Ningning had been misled by Wen Zhiqing.

Now that she's jumped into the river, Ningning doesn't like Wen Zhiqing anymore, and it seems Ningning has reverted to her former self.

Gu Yunnan thought this was a good idea.

Gu Jianing went out and was walking on the way to the old house when suddenly someone jumped out.

"Comrade Ningning."

Looking at the handsome man in the white shirt and black pants in front of her, Gu Jianing felt as if she had been transported to another world.

Several days after her rebirth, this was the first time she had seen Wen Zhuqing in this life. Indeed, the person before her was Wen Zhuqing.

Gu Jianing pursed her lips and scrutinized her, her eyes lowered, a flash of intense hatred passing through them, and her hands under her sleeves tightened slightly.

Soon, she looked up again, her usual innocent expression returning. She blinked and said, "It's you, Wen Zhiqing."

From the moment he saw Gu Jianing, Wen Zhuqing had been subtly observing her. Looking at the bright-eyed girl, he noticed that Gu Jianing seemed even more beautiful than before.

To be honest, Wen Zhuqing is also a man. Gu Jianing's beauty is such that even in Shanghai, where he used to live, it would be hard to find someone more beautiful than her.

Therefore, he was also attracted to Gu Jianing's beauty and figure.

But he also knew that as a Shanghainese, and with his future aspirations, it was impossible for him to marry a country girl with no background.

However, now that he has been sent to the countryside, he doesn't know when he will be able to return to the city, considering his family's situation and the current state of affairs.

However, even after being sent to the countryside, he could still make plans for himself.

As long as I can make my life a little better.

Wen Zhuqing was aware of her good looks and gentle nature.

Since he went to the countryside, many girls have tried to win his favor, but he was most satisfied with Gu Jianing. After all, her father was the village chief, her three brothers were quite capable, and Gu Jianing was beautiful and innocent, and her family doted on her.

If he could win Gu Jianing's heart, it would definitely bring him many benefits.

Thinking so, he did so.

The past six months have gone smoothly, and he is now certain that Gu Jianing has completely devoted herself to him.

Sure enough, when Boss Gu got the opportunity to work at the steel plant a while ago, he knew that his chance had come.

With just a few words, he persuaded Gu Jianing to volunteer to bring him work.

Wen Zhuqing was surprised, but not unexpected, that Gu Jianing jumped into the river because of work.

She thought that after jumping into the river, the Gu family would compromise, and she would soon get the job and never have to work in the fields again.

Unexpectedly, he was put in a sack and beaten twice that same day, and has been bedridden for the past few days.

Meanwhile, rumors kept circulating about Gu Jianing dating military officers.

Wen Zhuqing had planned to wait until she felt better before visiting Gu Jianing to find out what was going on, but the rumors she heard today about the military officer bringing his family to propose marriage made her restless. She forced herself to come out, hoping to find an opportunity to see Gu Jianing. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky to run into him.

Looking at Gu Jianing's expression, she seemed no different from before, but for some reason, Wen Zhuqing felt that something about her was different.

Unable to come up with a reason for the moment, Wen Zhuqing, who had been recuperating for several days and whose face had finally recovered from the swelling, habitually wore a gentle smile. Her peach blossom eyes seemed to be full of affection, yet also seemed to be telling a story of grievance. "Comrade Ningning, I heard you got engaged today?"

……

After Sheng Zexi dropped his grandparents off at their hotel, he realized he had forgotten to discuss with Gu Jianing when to take wedding photos and get their marriage certificate, so he drove back.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jianing was not at the Gu family home, but went to the old house. Sheng Zexi knew where the old house was, so he walked there.

Not far away, two elderly women were walking towards each other, talking, their voices carrying from afar.

"Hey, didn't the Gu family's daughter get engaged to a military officer today?"

"Yes, the Gu family was quite lively today. That officer, as expected of someone from Beijing, gave a very generous dowry."

"So tell me, does Gu Jianing really not like Wen Zhiqing?"

"probably."

"Then how come I saw Gu Jianing and Wen Zhiqing meet just now?"
