Chapter 340 How Heartbreaking It Is to Be Betrayed by Someone You Trust
The two talked as they walked into the kitchen.
Su Niannian briefly explained the situation at the military hospital to Gu's mother.
Hearing this, Gu's mother felt extremely disheartened for Chief Lu.
Especially when Su Niannian said that the person who hurt Commander Lu was very likely a soldier he had once led.
Gu's mother felt a chill run down her spine.
Being poisoned by the person you trust most is something that sounds incredibly unacceptable.
The damage inflicted by an enemy is only physical, but how much psychological damage would one suffer from being betrayed by someone they trust?
Of course, Su Niannian only mentioned what she could, and she didn't go into much detail.
Su Niannian did not explain the specific people involved to Gu's mother in detail.
"When you reach a certain position, you'll inevitably become a thorn in someone's side..."
"Old Master Lu must be feeling extremely distressed," Gu's mother sighed.
Su Niannian and Gu's mother were both in the kitchen at the time. Su Niannian was picking vegetables and talking.
Over there, Gu's mother was cutting meat.
Zhao Tian had already calmed Yangyang down and handed him over to Gu Zhendong and Gu Ningning. After washing her hands, she went into the kitchen to help.
"Niannian, go change your dirty pants, I'll wash them for you. I'll take care of the cooking in the kitchen," Zhao Tian said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian waved her hand, "It's nothing, I'll just wash myself tonight."
“We’re all family now, why be so formal?” Su Niannian smiled.
Zhao Tian smiled and said, "I feel really lucky to have a sister-in-law like you."
Zhao Tian took the vegetables that Su Niannian had just picked to the other side and washed them with water from the water tank.
Although the weather was starting to get warmer, the water was still a bit cold. Since Su Niannian was pregnant, it was best not to touch these things.
“In our village, there are many sisters-in-law who have constant conflicts. They can even quarrel over something as simple as eating an extra steamed bun.”
"I'm so lucky to have married Zhendong and into the Gu family," Zhao Tian said with a smile.
Su Niannian also thought Zhao Tian had a good personality, and it was really nice to have such a sister-in-law.
He is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush.
Moreover, Zhao Tian's parents and the Zhao family are also people of good character.
Once my business takes off, I can definitely ask Zhao Tian for help.
It can also increase her and her older brother's income, killing two birds with one stone.
However, now is not the time to talk to Zhao Tian about this.
In the kitchen, Su Niannian wanted to help, but she didn't have a chance at all.
Gu's mother and Zhao Tian had a clear division of labor, with their main goal being to prevent Su Niannian from getting involved.
Seeing this, Su Niannian took a small rag and went out to wipe the dining table in the yard.
Today, Su Niannian hasn't seen Gu Nan all day. To be honest, she really misses her jerk.
Although he was wiping the table with his hands, his eyes kept glancing towards the gate of the yard.
Su Niannian hoped that the next time she looked up, she would see Gu Nan's figure appear at the door.
Logically speaking, Gu Nan should not be returning very late today since he went to report for duty today and, according to what Chief Lu said last time, he was to lead the new recruits.
While Su Niannian was still thinking, she sensed a figure appear at the entrance of the courtyard.
Looking up, she saw the scoundrel she had been longing for standing at the gate of the yard.
As the sun slowly sets, the surrounding area is enveloped in a golden glow.
Her dog of a man appeared at the door. The setting sun was behind him, and Su Niannian couldn't see Gu Nan's face clearly because he was backlit.
However, that upright figure in military uniform was clearly her dog of a man.
With a smile on her face, Su Niannian placed the rag in her hand on the table and ran over.
Gu Nan was afraid that Su Niannian might run too fast and trip over, so he quickly went to meet her.
With a smile on her lips, Su Niannian immediately nestled into Gu Nan's arms.
Gu Nan hugged Su Niannian and rubbed his chin against the top of her head.
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
The two of them said the words almost at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, they both saw the longing in each other's eyes and hugged each other tightly.
Gu Ningning appeared at the doorway at some point, covering her mouth and laughing.
Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Gu's mother peeked out and saw the young couple embracing sweetly. She couldn't help but smile and retreat back into the kitchen.
The huge courtyard seemed to be empty except for Gu Nan and Su Niannian. The two of them missed each other terribly even though they had only been apart for a day.
Gu Nan noticed Gu Ningning peeking at him, gave her a look, and Gu Ningning covered her mouth and went inside.
After a long while, Gu Nan patted Su Niannian on the back.
"You're so clingy, what am I going to do when I go on missions?" Gu Nan patted Su Niannian's back with one hand and rubbed her head with the other, speaking with eyes full of affection.
"Hmph, as if you don't miss me."
"You bastard, I'm ignoring you." Su Niannian said, making a move to leave Gu Nan's embrace.
Gu Nan quickly surrendered, "Of course I miss you, I've been thinking about you all along." Gu Nan whispered in Su Niannian's ear.
Su Niannian felt Gu Nan's warm breath near her ear, and her heart fluttered.
That's love. Even after being apart for just a dozen hours, you'll miss each other terribly.
This is love; a whisper in the ear is enough to make the heart flutter.
When Su Niannian held Gu Nan in her arms, she felt as if her whole life had become complete.
"Ahem, dinner's ready. Wash your hands and eat, shall we?" Gu's mother's voice came from the kitchen.
Su Niannian blushed and then left Gu Nan's embrace.
Gu Nan pinched Su Niannian's cheek and said, "I'm going to wash up." Then he went to wash his hands.
"You know your hands are dirty, yet you still touched my face! You scumbag!" Su Niannian said angrily as she watched Gu Nan walk away.
However, she certainly didn't care whether Gu Nan's hands were clean or dirty.
She liked Gu Nan no matter what.
Gu Nan also heard the little girl's voice behind him, and the smile on his lips deepened.
After everyone washed their hands, Gu Nan changed his clothes and came over to sit at the dining table.
The food was already laid out on the table.
Tonight, Gu's mother thought that she hadn't eaten rice for several days, so she steamed a pot of rice and stir-fried a few dishes.
“I saw that the canteen in the compound was selling tofu and bean sprouts, so I bought some. The price was a little higher than in my hometown, but not outrageous.”
Zhao Tian began to speak, saying that she had taken a walk around the neighborhood this morning and was surprised to find a place selling vegetables near the canteen in the compound.
However, they were all people who needed tickets, but fortunately Zhao Tian had some tickets on hand.
