Chapter 58 Gu Chenglin Returns
Feng Yijiu curled her lip: "Back to the capital? There's still a storm waiting for him there."
It would be better not to go back at all.
Chu Xiong glared angrily at Feng: "You brat, always gossiping like this, you'll never find a wife."
Feng looked unconvinced and scoffed, "That's true. Lu Yunqing is still unmarried, and everyone in the capital is saying that he's still thinking about that woman."
Those gossipy people don't even consider that the woman's daughter is already a teenager.
And that woman's man is from the Zheng family of Duke Wu, and that Zheng He is a good-for-nothing playboy.
How can he compare to Lu Yunqing, the young master?
Back when the Lu family had just suffered a misfortune, the Wei family disregarded the relationship between the two families and decisively broke off the engagement. Not long after the breakup, she married Zheng He.
And now? That woman gave birth to two daughters in the Zheng family, but no sons, and is still an unfavored person.
How many women does Zheng He have in his harem? You know that perfectly well.
I suspect that woman was behind all those rumors.
He firmly believed this because he had witnessed the woman's ferocious and monstrous side.
Chu Xiong kicked him, this guy can't even tell the difference between master and servant anymore: "Alright, Lu Yunqing isn't even in a hurry yet, why are you so anxious?"
Don't worry, Lu Yunqing won't be thinking about that woman.
"Your master specifically instructed me to do this before I came, and besides, Princess Qinghe is still here."
Princess Qinghe's survival in that storm was no simple feat.
Besides, what kind of place is the imperial palace? The late emperor had more than thirty children, and these children grew up safely.
When the late emperor was alive, the palace... which palace wasn't overcrowded, including the Cold Palace? And he was someone who didn't have any dietary restrictions.
Princess Qinghe's ability to remain unscathed and escape unscathed demonstrates her remarkable composure...
……
Dongfang Jin and her two children stayed at the county government office for seven days before Gu Chenglin finally appeared.
"Dad..." Gu Caiwei shouted excitedly when she saw the people being discharged from the hospital at the door, and then ran over excitedly.
Her shout also startled Gu Jingye, who was reciting his lessons, and Dongfang Jin, who was writing her plan by the window inside the room.
"Dad...Dad...you're back!" Gu Jingye saw his father, put down the book in his hand, ran over, and hugged Gu Chenglin's waist.
That's great! That's great! His dad isn't using crutches anymore!
He walked back like this, so it seems that the old man cured him. That's wonderful.
Gu Chenglin squatted down, holding the two children, and said softly, "Hmm, have you been listening to your mother?"
Gu Caiwei said happily, "Dad, do you think I've gotten fatter? My stepmother said I've grown five centimeters taller."
She's even fairer than before!
Gu Jingye smiled and said, "Father, my sister and I can read and recite poems. My stepmother taught us."
When Dongfang Jin came out, he saw this tall and imposing man. The sunlight shone on his face, making his wheat-colored skin look even more resolute.
Her heart skipped a beat at that moment: "You're back?"
When Gu Chenglin saw her, he slowly walked over, holding the hands of his two children.
I stared at her intently. She was much fairer than she had been a few days ago, and her face had gained some weight.
With her red lips, white teeth, fair skin, and beautiful features... she is his wife.
Just like the wind and his two children, everything changes every day.
His wound had barely healed when he couldn't wait to come back; he had never felt this eager to return home before.
She said softly, "I...I'm back."
Yes, he's back, and he'll never leave you again.
Seeing this side of him, Dongfang Jin felt genuinely out of place with this big guy.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the flutter in her heart, followed by a wave of regret; she seemed to have fallen for this man.
This is even more terrifying than her not having her period!
"It's good that you're back. When are we going back to the village?"
Gu Chenglin's gaze involuntarily followed her, taking in all the changes in her emotions.
He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Whatever you say, we can go home anytime."
After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I've bought Mr. Tang's two houses, the land, and the orchard behind them, and put them in your name."
Yes, he also bought the house in the county owned by Master Tang.
He had just renovated this house in the county and had moved in less than a month ago.
Thinking back to when he and Feng found Master Tang, he said that if they wanted to buy the house in Lingwu Village, they had to buy the house he was living in as well.
When he asked why, he learned that none of the people who wanted to buy Master Tang's house wanted to buy the house in Lingwu Village.
This won't do. He went to Huzhou with his son and may never come back in this lifetime.
That's why Mr. Tang came up with this idea.
Dongfang Jin placed her hands on his chest, staring at him with wide eyes: "You're the one who bought Master Tang's house?"
No wonder, when she asked Master Xu that day, he said that Tang Wenshan's houses had already been bought, including the big house in the county.
When she heard that the house had already been sold, she gave up and didn't ask who bought it.
I was depressed for a long time because of this.
just now……
Gu Chenglin said softly, "Yes, I was going to tell you when I got home that day, but then that thing happened."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin was filled with anger. Suddenly, she realized that she was still being held by this man.
Annoyed, she said, "Get out of the way, the child is still here!"
Gu Chenglin chuckled softly, "Shitou has already pulled Caiwei inside. Be good, let me hold you for a while. Xiaojin, I miss you so much."
He really missed her, terribly...
Moreover, he understood the implication in Grandpa Chu's words: he would not return to Beijing, nor would he abandon this person.
Dongfang Jin turned her head and, sure enough, did not see the two children.
This man... well, she might as well hug him. To be honest, she missed him too.
He's been gone these past few days, and she feels empty inside, a feeling she's never had before.
……
"Brother, this way, our little sister won't leave us, right?" Gu Caiwei asked, peering through the crack at the window as the two embraced.
Gu Jingye looked on, biting his lip, "No, my little lady won't leave us again."
His father finally wasn't stupid this time.
Gu Caiwei hugged her brother's neck and said happily, "Brother...brother...that's great! We have a mother now. No one will ever say we're motherless children again."
After saying that, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Gu Jingye hugged his younger sister back and said, "Yes, Dad is back too. From now on, we not only have Dad, but also Mom."
His little sister has gotten chubby, and he can no longer carry her.
He thought back to when he and his sister were first sent to their maternal grandfather's house by that family; she was so small, like a little kitten.
If it weren't for Grandma Sun taking pity on them and secretly feeding the younger sister rice porridge and gruel every day...
He didn't even know if his sister would survive.
At that moment, he felt no hatred for his biological mother at all.
Wasn't she dead? Then let's just pretend she's dead.
"Yes, yes, yes, brother will be able to study now."
"Yes, my sister will also have a school to attend in the future."
This was something he never dreamed of, let alone imagined that he and his sister would live with their stepmother in the county government office.
Several times he thought it was a dream, that feeling of unreality.
As he repeatedly pinched his thigh, he came to his senses amidst the pain, realizing that it was all real.
Gu Caiwei looked at her brother with tears in her eyes. Her brother had not only grown taller, but also gained weight and become even more handsome.
"Yes, we will all have books to read from now on, we will no longer go hungry, we will no longer be cold, and we will no longer be beaten."
After saying that, she could no longer hold back her tears, which slid down her cheeks.
