Chapter 21 The Restless Woman
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
In addition, the things the original owner did were indeed true.
Xu Sui had no intention of falling out with anyone anytime soon. She smiled and nodded gracefully, "Yes, Auntie, remember to come and have some wedding candy when we have the wedding in a few days."
"We'll be neighbors from now on, and who knows, we might need to trouble you for something in the future."
Zhang Xiufen was still smiling, and with her kind face, anyone who saw her would think she was a warm-hearted old lady.
"That's wonderful! Putting everything else aside, the two of you are an absolutely perfect match just standing together."
"We'll be neighbors from now on. If you need anything, just knock on the door. I'll definitely lend a hand if I can."
Suddenly, she changed the subject, "By the way, I haven't seen Battalion Commander Gu these days. I heard he's about to be transferred."
"His new house is all furnished, with all the expensive new furniture. Now that he's gone, he's not planning to just throw all that stuff away, is he?"
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback.
Is Gu Shu being transferred?
It seems that this is not mentioned in the book.
However, in the book, she had already registered her marriage with Qin Yunzhou by this time. On the first day after their marriage, Qin Yunzhou went on a mission and was seriously injured, breaking his leg. After returning a month later, he spent more than a month in the military hospital before finally being saved.
However, he still had to temporarily return to his hometown to recuperate.
The original owner had long since lost her job in the performing arts troupe, and being pregnant, she naturally had to return to her hometown.
Within two days of returning home, all the things she had done in the army were exposed, and she suddenly became known as a bad woman in her hometown's tenement, which also implicated her family.
Coming to her senses, Xu Sui shook her head. "Auntie, I don't know about this either."
"I'm afraid you'll have to ask them yourself."
Zhang Xiufen turned to Qin Yunzhou beside her and said, "Political Commissar Qin, you have such a good relationship with Battalion Commander Gu, you must know something, right?"
That sounds rather strange.
These days, everyone knows the gossip about Xu Sui and the other two.
There's no reason why Zhang Xiufen, the matchmaker who just wanted to join in the fun, wouldn't know.
Qin Yunzhou said in a deep voice, "If you want those things, you can ask for them yourself."
The items prepared for the new house were almost all large pieces, including various tables, chairs, and cabinets, all made of high-quality materials, and they have hardly been used.
Based on his understanding of Gu Shu, he would never give her away for nothing.
However, this Aunt Zhang, who seemed to be there to ask about this matter, was actually up to no good and was deliberately using this as an excuse to test the relationship between the three of them.
Xu Sui understood, so she simply left.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, we have to go now."
Zhang Xiufen seemed oblivious to the sudden coldness in their attitudes, and she slapped her forehead in frustration.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot you came here for business. I've kept you both waiting, you should go now."
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou ignored her and left.
The two had just left.
Soon after, several people gathered around Zhang Xiufen, looking in the direction Xu Sui and the other person had left, and asked in a low voice.
"How about it? Did you find out anything? I heard it clearly that day. The voices of that adulterous couple in Battalion Commander Gu's new house are exactly the same as these two."
"Now these two are together again and about to get married. I bet they've been secretly having an affair behind Battalion Commander Gu's back and shamelessly pushed him out of the picture."
Battalion Commander Gu is really unlucky. His fiancée and his best friend got together, but neither of them got any retribution. Instead, he was the one who got transferred.
Fortunately, Battalion Commander Gu was actually the biological son of Chief Gu of Beijing. Before getting married, he realized that his so-called good brother and fiancée were not real.
the other side.
Xu Sui had already walked quite a distance, but she could still feel the scrutinizing gazes of those people upon her—glances of disdain, ill intent, and disgust…
Of course, Qin Yunzhou, who had stolen his best friend's girlfriend, received the same treatment.
He used to have a good reputation in the army and had many friends, but after this incident, almost no one approached him.
His former close friends now looked at him with suspicion, as if they were afraid he would set his sights on his wife and steal her away like he did to Gu Shu.
Even his former boss, who had previously valued him, started looking at him strangely and gradually began to delegate tasks to his competitors.
Overnight, everything changed; he experienced the full spectrum of human nature, from the cold to the warm.
Thinking of this, Xu Sui couldn't help but glance at the man beside her who showed no emotional fluctuations.
Does he... really not care?
If it were someone else, they probably would have wanted to kill the original owner long ago.
After all, he was an innocent victim.
The fact that this man can still treat her so calmly is something that probably few men in the world can do.
Qin Yunzhou noticed Xu Sui's gaze and assumed she was affected by the people from earlier.
After a moment of contemplation, he hesitated before speaking.
"If you care, I'll try to find an opportunity to transfer you to another military region, but you'll probably have to find a new job then."
It's actually quite difficult to be transferred to another place, unless you're transferred to a military region that's even more remote and desolate than this one, where you'll be stationed year-round.
Xu Sui was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, "You misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
This place is where Qin Yunzhou has worked hard for so many years. It is where his dream began. Even when he was down on his luck and being targeted, he never had the thought of leaving.
In that historical novel.
After the incident, Qin Yunzhou encountered many injustices and setbacks at every turn. His friends all distanced themselves from him, and later, he injured his leg on a mission and returned to his hometown, becoming even more destitute.
Unable to bear the suffering, the original owner not only divorced him but also absconded with all his money, using it to get an abortion and run away.
Xu Sui remembers that it was described in the book.
After learning that the original owner was pregnant, Qin Yunzhou, although he disliked the original owner, always felt a distance from her because of the things she had done.
But he was actually happy inside; he really wanted that child.
In order to save the child, Qin Yunzhou put all his savings, including the money he had saved to send back to his hometown army after his leg injury, into the original owner's possession.
She even assured the original owner that as long as she gave birth to the child, she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
That amount of money totaled several thousand, which was an enormous sum in those days.
The purpose was to make the original owner feel safe and not abandon the child.
However, despite agreeing verbally, the original owner still ran away with the money after the divorce, aborting the child.
Upon learning the news that the child had been aborted.
For Qin Yunzhou and his family, it was like their world had collapsed. They were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of that child.
The whole family was depressed for more than half a year, and no one dared to mention the original owner's name again.
That huge sum of over three thousand yuan was never recovered.
The Qin family was already struggling financially, and Qin Yunzhou's leg was seriously injured, preventing him from going to work and requiring regular hospital checkups.
In years of famine, that money was lost.
One person in the Qin family also starved to death. That person was none other than Qin's mother, who had treated the original owner of this body like her own daughter since childhood.
