Chapter 38 Sister-in-law, I was wrong
Gu Shuang forced back her sobs, her eyes red as she looked at Xu Sui, "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, will you speak up for me?"
"Judging from your performance, please let go of my hand now, I have other things to do."
Xu Sui finally understood why Gu Shuang was the villainous supporting character who constantly caused trouble for Gu Shu and the female lead in the plot.
It turns out that Gu Shuang didn't like Gu Shu's cousin who had been recognized by the family at all.
Just like in those stories about real and fake heiresses, the characters only like the fake heiresses who have lived with them for many years, and don't like the villainous supporting characters who are recognized halfway through.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuang quickly released Xu Sui's hand and followed behind her.
"Xu...no, sister-in-law, why are you leaving the performing arts troupe? I won't bully you anymore, and I won't let anyone else bully you. Why are you leaving?"
Finding a job these days has been really tough; it's like there's a hole in every pod.
You either need exceptional skills or strong connections; in short, it's very difficult for the average person to find a job that barely makes a living.
In comparison, working in a performing arts troupe is much better; it's not only respectable but also well-paid.
Xu Sui ignored her, quickly shook her off, and swiftly found Shen Shan's office. She resolutely submitted her resignation and then quickly completed all the formalities and procedures.
This matter has finally come to an end.
After resolving everything, I left the cultural troupe.
Xu Sui was on her way to the hospital when she felt like she had forgotten something. Before she had taken more than a few steps, someone ran up behind her.
The other person grabbed her arm tightly, and an angry yet aggrieved voice came from behind.
"Xu Sui, you broke your promise. You clearly said you would speak up for me."
"You actually ran away behind my back."
"You can't treat me like this. If you keep doing this, I'll disown you as my sister-in-law."
Xu Sui: "...If you don't want to acknowledge me, then don't. I don't need any more relatives."
Gu Shuang stomped her foot angrily, "You...you're so annoying!"
Other people's sisters-in-law are so gentle, but she's different.
Xu Sui sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's go."
Anyway, she's not her sister, so let Qin Yunzhou worry about it.
"However, there is one thing I must make clear beforehand: if Qin Yunzhou does not want to see you, there is nothing I can do."
She and Qin Yunzhou weren't a normal married couple, and it was inappropriate for her to interfere in his private affairs, especially since this matter involved the Gu family.
If you want two people to get along well, the first thing you must learn is to respect each other.
Gu Shuang was stunned for a moment, never having considered this possibility.
She fell silent. "My brother... he won't refuse to see me..."
They used to have a good relationship.
However, even Gu Shuang herself became uncertain about what she was saying in the end.
Xu Sui interrupted Gu Shuang's wishful thinking, "Don't forget, he didn't let you in yesterday."
She could tell that Qin Yunzhou was actually upset about the Gu family's attitude. After all, they were relatives he had lived with for over twenty years, so how could he have no feelings for them at all?
Gu Shuang panicked immediately. "Then... what should we do?"
Her brother really wouldn't disown her as his sister, would he?
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you must have a way. Please help me, okay?"
In a moment of urgency, Gu Shuang instinctively grabbed Xu Sui's arm again.
Xu Sui finally saw through this person. She called her "sister-in-law" when she needed something, and called her name directly when she didn't. She really was a pampered young lady.
She ruthlessly pulled Gu Shuang's hand away again.
"Calling me sister-in-law won't help. This is between you and your brother. You know how my relationship with your brother is."
"You should resolve your own issues."
"By the way, just a reminder, in a few days, once Qin Yunzhou is feeling better, we'll be going back to our hometown. It's best to resolve any issues now."
Ward of a military hospital.
Gu Shuang stood obediently at the door, holding two cans of yellow peaches, not daring to move.
Xu Sui pushed open the door to the ward and went inside. Just as Gu Shuang was about to peek inside, Xu Sui slammed the door shut, blocking her view.
On his hospital bed, Qin Yunzhou was still reading when he saw someone come in. He slowly put down his book, looked up, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Perhaps it was because he was used to being a soldier, but even when he was seriously injured in a hospital bed, he still lay very upright and couldn't stay still.
Even though his legs couldn't move, as long as his hands could, the blankets and water tanks around him were all arranged neatly and meticulously.
Even the buttons on his hospital gown were always fastened to the very top.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze suddenly stopped on the top of Xu Sui's head, his eyes turning serious. "Someone attacked you. What happened?"
He knew she was going to the performing arts troupe today to complete her resignation procedures.
"How did you figure that out?" Xu Sui asked, somewhat surprised. She walked over, opened the lunchbox she was carrying, and handed the man the chicken soup and steamed buns inside.
This chicken was obtained by Ma Dazhuang and a few others from a nearby brigade. I heard it cost a lot of money and took a lot of effort.
The family didn't want money, they just wanted grain. In order to find grain to exchange for the chicken, Ma Dazhuang and his friends borrowed a lot of grain coupons.
Xu Sui originally didn't want to accept the chicken, but those people insisted on giving it to her, and came here repeatedly to help out.
Finally, unable to resist, she accepted it after asking Qin Yunzhou's opinion.
After the chicken was cooked, Qin Yunzhou didn't want to eat it alone, so he insisted on taking her with him, and they ended up sharing it in half.
"Your hair is messy. It doesn't look like you did it yourself, nor was it blown by the wind. There's a high chance you got into a fight." Qin Yunzhou had excellent eyesight and observed carefully.
Especially since Xu Sui had combed her hair in front of him today, he remembered the direction and position of almost every strand of hair clearly.
So whether things are in disarray or not, he can spot the anomaly with a careful look.
Xu Sui: "..."
That's quite a keen observation.
She handed the chicken soup to Gu Yunzhou, "Actually, it's nothing, just a small accident, but it's all been resolved."
"Aside from... there's one thing you'll need to handle on your own."
Qin Yunzhou took the lunchbox, lowered his head and took a sip of chicken soup, without looking up, as if he hadn't heard the last sentence.
Xu Sui didn't say anything more. She sat by his hospital bed and glanced in the direction of the door.
She has already brought up what needed to be brought up; whether or not she meets with him is no longer her concern.
outside the ward.
Gu Shuang paced back and forth carrying two cans of yellow peaches, her palms sweating with nervousness. Several times she couldn't help but push the door open and go inside.
However, thinking about her brother's attitude towards her these days, she forced herself to endure it.
Xu Sui must have spoken to her, right?
She knew that the wicked woman held a grudge and was definitely looking for revenge.
Oh no, I shouldn't have cried and begged that bad woman for help. I hope I didn't just make things worse.
Then, there was a creaking sound.
The door to the ward suddenly opened.
Gu Shuang, who had just finished speaking ill of Xu Sui in her mind, subconsciously looked up when she heard the noise and was caught off guard by Xu Sui's face.
Her face paled, and she quickly took a step back. "I...I didn't say anything bad about you."
Xu Sui: "...Alright, no need to hide it, I know you're cursing me in your heart."
She stepped aside to make way for him. "Go inside. Tell him what's on your mind."
"Also, don't curse me in your heart next time. Even if you do, don't let me see it easily. I hold grudges."
