Chapter 293 An Unexpected Overhearing, A Heartfelt Confession
"That's all I have to say. Think it over yourself." Gu Nan stood up, glanced at Gu Zhendong, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
Gu Nan is not used to expressing his emotions and is not good at talking much. He felt that he had said enough today.
Whether Gu Zhendong can figure it out on his own is up to him.
Gu Zhendong closed his eyes, recalling what Gu Nan had just said.
After Gu Nan came out of Gu Zhendong's room, he saw Su Niannian at the door.
Su Niannian was still holding the acupuncture kit in her hand.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to..." Su Niannian had indeed been standing at the door for a little while.
But she really didn't mean to eavesdrop. Since they had already decided to go to Beijing together, and they were in a different place, Su Niannian wanted Gu Zhendong to remove the splint that was fixing his knee as soon as possible.
I hope to be able to walk with crutches as soon as possible.
After all, being in a different location means there's no need to worry about Gu Zhendong's leg recovering too quickly.
As a result... she unexpectedly overheard Gu Nan's heartfelt confession.
Su Niannian was secretly delighted.
"Niannian, I really love you so much." Gu Nan interrupted Su Niannian and hugged her tightly.
Seeing this, Gu's mother, who was in the yard, picked up Yangyang and pulled Gu Ningning into the kitchen.
"Mother...I..." Gu Ningning wanted to see more, but her mother dragged her away.
Su Niannian felt Gu Nan's body temperature and smelled the pleasant soapy scent on him.
Indulge in it.
Gu Nan picked up Su Niannian and carried her back to the room.
"Mom, I still want to peek at Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law," Gu Ningning said somewhat dejectedly after being pulled into the kitchen.
"What are you looking at! How old are you!" Gu's mother glared at Gu Ningning.
Only when she heard that there was no noise outside did Gu's mother let go of Gu Ningning's hand.
When Gu Ningning came out again, Gu Nan and Su Niannian were nowhere to be seen.
Gu Ningning felt a little bored, so she took Yangyang from her mother's arms and went to Gu Zhendong's room.
As for Gu Zhendong, a conclusion has basically been reached.
After Su Niannian was carried back to her room by Gu Nan, Gu Nan gave her another massage.
Su Niannian smiled happily, but suddenly realized that if she went to Beijing, her business with Lao Qian and Lü Hongliang might have to be suspended.
Therefore, Su Niannian plans to discuss it with Gu Nan.
"Since you're pregnant now, why don't you take a good rest and put making money on hold for now?" Gu Nan said, stroking Su Niannian's hair with a doting expression.
Gu Nan felt that even if Su Niannian didn't have that much money, his income as the regimental commander would be enough to support the mother and daughter.
But Su Niannian didn't think that way. She was determined to become the richest person in the area, to be the big tree behind Gu Nan, and to be Gu Nan's protective umbrella. How could she possibly stop making money?
Su Niannian racked her brains, trying to come up with a good idea.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to give up the money she earned here; it was mainly that Su Niannian felt that Lu Hongliang and Lao Qian were good people, and she would need their help when her business grew bigger in the future.
Su Niannian was reluctant to part with her two helpers.
As it turns out... you really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.
Another car drove up to the vicinity of Kaoshan Village.
It was still a truck, but because trucks are really too eye-catching, it didn't drive into the village.
The truck driver parked the truck some distance from the entrance of Kaoshan Village.
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back." A figure jumped out of the passenger seat of the truck.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll wait here." The young man left on the truck nodded and said.
Then, the middle-aged man jogged straight towards the entrance of Kaoshan Village.
After the man entered the village, he asked the villagers where Su Niannian's house was.
Under the shade of a tree at the village entrance, two elderly women sat chatting about village gossip.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was a stranger, she came over and asked about Xiao Su, the educated youth, and she was unsure whether to tell him or not.
What if this person from another village is here to cause trouble for Xiao Su, the educated youth?
Su Niannian is quite popular in the village now.
So the two older women exchanged a glance, and neither of them told the middle-aged man where Xiao Su, the educated youth, lived.
It was a little past three in the afternoon when an oxcart arrived at the village entrance.
It was Grandpa Jiang who drove the oxcart and brought the villagers who had gone to the county town that morning back.
We set off from the county town at 2 PM and arrived at the village entrance around 3 PM.
Seeing many villagers getting off the oxcart, the middle-aged man approached Grandpa Jiang, who was driving the oxcart, wanting to ask him where Su Niannian's home was.
Grandpa Jiang didn't answer when he saw that the visitor was unfamiliar.
"What do you want with Su Niannian?" Grandpa Jiang looked at the middle-aged man warily.
He asked with a wary look on his face.
"I'm a friend of Miss Su. I'm here to see her on important business. Her husband's name is Gu Nan, and we've met before." Seeing the old man's wary look, the middle-aged man quickly added Gu Nan's name.
However, despite this, Grandpa Jiang still didn't know if this person was there to cause trouble.
He looked quite presentable, dressed smartly and carrying a black bag, but he was, after all, an outsider; the person he came to see was none other than Xiao Su, the educated youth.
Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but ask more questions.
"What is it?" Grandpa Jiang continued to ask.
"I'm not comfortable telling you the specifics, but just tell me where Miss Su lives."
"If you don't tell me, I will. What if you go and cause trouble for that young girl?" Grandpa Jiang said, with an air of "I won't tell you unless you tell me."
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly.
Seriously, who exactly is Miss Su, and why is she looking for her? The villagers are so wary of her.
At this moment, Li Ergou walked from the village to the village entrance, humming a little tune.
"Uncle Jiang, did you bring back the meat and apples I asked you to bring me?" Li Ergou walked over with a smile.
Clearly, she's in a really good mood!
"I brought it, and here's the rest of the money." Grandpa Jiang decided to ignore the middle-aged man and gave Li Ergou the things he had asked him to bring, along with the remaining money.
Li Ergou took out three mao (0.3 yuan) from the remaining money and handed it to Grandpa Jiang.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Jiang. I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Grandpa Jiang didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile. After all, some people would often ask him to bring things back from the county town, giving him two or three cents as a running fee.
Li Ergou hummed a little tune, picked up his things, and prepared to leave.
Then I saw a middle-aged man standing to the side.
Li Ergou often went to the county town, and he recognized the man, but couldn't quite place him.
"Young man." The middle-aged man saw Li Ergou looking at him and quickly called out to him.
"You called me?" After confirming that the middle-aged man was calling him, Li Ergou walked over.
