1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 24 Coming again
"Dong dong dong."

Gu Qingwu was packing her things in the room when she heard a knock on the door. She frowned. She had just arrived and Qin Haonan was out on a mission. She didn't know who came to the door at this time. Despite frowning, Gu Qingwu stopped packing, patted the non-existent dust on her body, walked out of the room and opened the door.

When she saw a man standing outside the gate, she looked puzzled again.

"You are……?"

Doesn’t this person know that Qin Haonan is on a mission?
Why did he come here at this time? What does he want to do?

Don’t think she didn’t see that as soon as this man came over, there were some people outside peeking around?

She didn't want to lose her reputation just as she arrived.

So, Gu Qingwu didn't ask the other party to come in or anything. Just kidding, she had just married Qin Haonan, and Qin Haonan was not at home. What was the point of letting a man into the house?

Even if the two of them were acting honestly and nothing happened, who knows if anyone would gossip about them? So, for the sake of her own reputation and to prevent some people from gossiping about her, Gu Qingwu simply didn't let the other person in.

Tao Xiangdong saw Gu Qingwu's actions and smiled.

His expression was gentle, but at the same time he was secretly delighted.

Because she almost got into trouble and he was given a warning, Tao Xiangdong's reputation in the army has been affected recently. Some people even whispered about him behind his back when they saw him, which made Tao Xiangdong unbearable. So, he planned to take advantage of Qin Haonan's mission to apologize in person.

Qin Haonan didn't accept it last time, but this time when he came, Gu Qingwu, a country girl, was at home. As long as the gift he brought was heavier, he didn't believe that she wouldn't be tempted by the money.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Tao Xiangdong."

When Tao Xiangdong introduced himself, his eyes never left Gu Qingwu. Gu Qingwu had a smile on her face, but when she heard the other party's introduction, the smile disappeared.

Tao Xiangdong didn't know why, but when he saw Gu Qingwu's expressionless face, he felt guilty and didn't dare to look Gu Qingwu in the eye.

Especially when he saw the wound on Gu Qingwu's forehead, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

This kind of gaze that could see through people's hearts was the first time that Tao Xiangdong had seen it.

"If you are here to apologize, there is no need, because the army has given the result. I believe you will not do anything to let down the uniform you are wearing."

Gu Qingwu immediately understood what the other party meant. Seeing that Qin Haonan was not at home, he came to cause trouble for her. Wasn't he just trying to take the opportunity to express his grievances and let everyone in the family compound know his sincerity?

Didn’t you see that ever since Tao Xiangdong stood here, those idle gossiping women in the staff quarters have been secretly looking over here?
Will Gu Qingwu give the other party a chance to explain?
"Comrade Tao, don't take this to heart. I'm fine, and you don't have to feel guilty. After all, you didn't know anything would happen to me, right?"

Every word Gu Qingwu said was to say that my injury or accident has nothing to do with you, and you shouldn't take it so seriously. But privately, only Tao Xiangdong himself knew that Gu Qingwu was mocking him. He realized that Gu Qingwu didn't seem to be from the countryside as he thought, with little experience. Instead, the other party was very perceptive.

Tao Xiangdong didn't know whether Qin Haonan told her that, but he knew that his apology would not be successful this time. The other party didn't seem to have the intention to forgive him, which made him a little unhappy. "Sister-in-law, I'm here to apologize sincerely."

Tao Xiangdong raised the thing in his hand and said, while Gu Qingwu curled the corners of her lips.

"I know. I also said that you don't need to apologize. We are satisfied with the results of the military's handling of the matter. Qin Haonan also thought so. It was precisely because he thought so that when he was on a mission again, he told me not to accept your gift if you come again and let me explain it to you clearly."

It’s just pretending, who can’t do that?
Haha, she just didn't believe it. Even after she said that, Tao Xiangdong could still force her to accept his gift.

Bah, it's just a piece of junk, she wouldn't even look at it.

"I'm a woman at home, so I won't entertain you. When Qin Haonan comes back, I'll ask him to invite you to dinner."

After saying that, Gu Qingwu turned around and closed the door. If he wanted to climb up by relying on her reputation, it would depend on whether she would give him a chance.

If what she said today were to be made public, no one would accuse her of being impolite, and the matter would be over. If Tao Xiangdong comes again, he would have ulterior motives. I believe the people in the family compound are not fools who cannot see it. Even if they cannot see it, what about those people in the army?
Tao Xiangdong looked at the closed door and smiled bitterly. He finally understood why Qin Haonan valued Gu Qingwu so much. Although this woman came from the countryside, she was very decisive when handling things.

At the same time, he can handle things very well. Why, why is Qin Haonan so lucky to meet such a good woman and have such strong abilities?

Is he not so lucky?

He was a little jealous of Qin Haonan.

Gu Qingwu didn't know what Tao Xiangdong was thinking. She expanded her spiritual sense and found that Tao Xiangdong had left. She rolled her eyes and tripped Tao Xiangdong on his way out. Tao Xiangdong realized that he was tripped and his body staggered but he didn't fall. He subconsciously looked at the ground and found that the ground was flat. Why did he feel like he was tripped?

He looked around and found that although the military wives in the family compound looked at him a few times, he didn't know what they were talking about. They should not have the chance to trip him, so what was wrong with him?
Gu Qingwu felt a little regretful. Tao Xiangdong had such good balance that he didn't trip him.

She couldn't do it again. If she did, it would arouse this guy's suspicion. However, there were other ways to retaliate. It was just that she couldn't do it now. She would have to wait until she found an opportunity in the future. She believed that she would find an opportunity soon.

Although Tao Xiangdong was suspicious, he looked at it several times and didn't find any problems, so he could only leave with his things.

Soon, news came from the family compound that Tao Xiangdong had come to apologize, and he said this seemed to be the second time or something like that.

He also said that Qin Haonan and his wife did not accept his gift, and that Tao Xiangdong did not do it on purpose. In short, Tao Xiangdong was the victim, and Gu Qingwu's injury was not caused by Tao Xiangdong. Tao Xiangdong was also given a warning, and Tao Xiangdong was too wronged.

Gu Qingwu didn't expect that Tao Xiangdong achieved his goal in disguise. In fact, even if she knew, Gu Qingwu would not do much. At most, she would be a little ruthless in the next revenge.

After Tao Xiangdong left, Gu Qingwu was no longer in the mood to clean up the house or the yard.

She began to close her eyes and rest. Her consciousness entered the space and began to look for some pills. Doesn't Tao Xiangdong like to put on airs? Then she would reveal his face. She wanted to see what kind of person Tao Xiangdong was.
