The wife of two taels of silver

Zhao Hongwei and his companions had to pass through Yancheng on their way to the capital.

"Gu'er, your home is in Hua'an County, right? When we get to Yancheng, we'll send you home and let us see your sister-in-law. Do you mind?" Zhao Hongwei teased.

Gu An sat in the carriage, leaning against the window and talking to Zhao Hongwei: "Okay."

Song Buwei also came over to join in the fun: "Yes, Gu'er, you miss your wife so much every day, I also want to see what kind of fairy your sister-in-law is that can hold your heart so tightly."

Gu An pursed his lips and wanted to say that he was not thinking about his wife, he just thought about his children, but he didn't say the rebuttal out loud, he just thought about it in his mind.

"The pork jerky that Zhou Jun brought back last time was so delicious. My sister-in-law is so capable. She cooks such delicious food. Gu'er, I want to go to your house for a meal." Wang Yao thought of the small handful of pork jerky left in the cloth bag after Zhou Jun came back last time, and swallowed hard.

Zhang Haixu also joined in and said, "After Zhou Jun came back, he kept praising my sister-in-law, saying she was beautiful, capable, well-educated, and considerate. He really put all the good words he knew on your wife. It made me very curious. Gu'er, I want to visit your house too."

Zhou Jun was following behind and couldn't hear them talking. If he had heard them, he would have run over and told them that what he said was true and asked them to believe him.

When Gu An heard these words, there was a strange and subtle expression on his face. He didn't spend much time with Lin Haitang, but he knew that Lin Haitang was not very smart and that she only cooked to prevent herself from starving to death. This had not changed when he was at home last year.

Of course, Gu An had also heard what Zhou Jun said, so the closer he got to home, the more uneasy he felt.

Lin Haitang... has she really changed so much? She said she wanted a divorce. Gu An thought to himself, watching the swallows circling in the sky.

In early July, the weather was not so hot. At about three quarters after noon, Lin Haitang took Gu Chen out and placed him in the cradle under the tree.

"Ah! Ah!" Gu Chen is already eleven months old. He loves to scream, and he screams very loudly every time. The fat boy is very heavy, weighing twenty-two pounds. Lin Haitang feels tired every time she holds him.

"What did you see? What did you see?" Lin Haitang looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small yellow bird standing on the tree. "Oh~ our little treasure saw a bird. Isn't the bird cute?"

The bird flapped its wings and flew away. Gu Chen burst into laughter and stretched his neck to sit up.

Lin Haitang whipped the kid up and said, "You want to stand up? Come on, stand on your legs."

Gu Chen was always happy. As soon as he stood on Lin Haitang's lap, his arms flapped faster than a bird's, and he hopped and danced, his feet rolling on her legs. It really hurt to have a 22-pound piece of jumping flesh on her legs.

"You look so happy, Chenchen. Stand still." Lin Haitang looked at Gu Chen, whose saliva was flowing out of his mouth due to laughter. She was at a loss for words for a moment and could only free up her hands to wipe his saliva.

On the street, Song Buwei pushed Gu An, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked Zhou Jun, who was leading the way, "Zhou Jun, are we almost there?"

"It's almost time, Lieutenant General Song. It's Lieutenant General Gu who's going home. Why are you more anxious than Lieutenant General Gu?" Zhou Jun said with a smile.

"Hey," Song Buwei raised his voice and said, "When has Gu'er ever been anxious? He always has a sullen face."

Zhang Haixu patted Song Buwei's shoulder and pretended to be serious: "Old Song, that's called hiding your emotions. You look at everyone as if they owe you money."

Wang Yao said to Zhang Haixu, "Come on, you're the same age as Gu'er, and he already has three children, while you still don't have a wife. You better be more careful."

Zhang Haixu was dissatisfied: "When I go back this time, I will let you drink my wedding wine."

Everyone looked at the sky, some looked at the sky; some looked at the ground, some looked at the ground; no one responded to Zhang Haixu's words.

"You are really going too far!" Zhang Haixu roared angrily.

"We're almost there, just ahead!" Zhou Jun shouted, pointing to the yard in front.

Gu An looked at the yard and calculated the money he had given to Lin Haitang. If he added it all up, even if he didn't eat or drink and didn't spend a penny, it would still not be enough to buy this yard.

Lin Haitang, is she really still the same Lin Haitang?

Gu An is becoming more and more curious about Lin Haitang today.

I don’t know who is doing this, but everyone is a little nervous, some are clearing their throats, some are stretching their clothes.

Wang Yao pushed Gu An's wheelchair to the door and said, "Gu'er, knock on the door quickly."

They stood behind Gu An with bright eyes, pushing Zhou Jun to the back.

Dongdong──

Lin Haitang in the yard looked at the sky and then at the door.

Who could it be at this hour? Momo and Lanlan still had a while before school was over.

Lin Haitang was confused. She put Gu Chen in the cradle and said, "Baby, be good. Mommy will open the door."

Lin Haitang took a step out, thought for a moment, came back, and picked up Gu Chen.

Gu Chen is not being obedient right now. What if he flutters and the cradle falls over? It’s better not to cause trouble, Lin Haitang thought.

"Who?"

The people outside the door heard a pleasant and clear sound, like a trickling stream.

The door opened and Gu An saw Lin Haitang.

Dressed in a sky-blue dress and with her hair in a simple and elegant bun, she looked like a lotus after the rain, fresh and elegant, so graceful.

She was also holding a chubby white baby, whose eyes were round and rolling around.

Gu An's pupils trembled slightly. She was Lin Haitang, but not the Lin Haitang of the past.

Lin Haitang glanced at the group of old men at the door, glanced at the man in the wheelchair at the front, frowned slightly, and asked, "Brother, may I ask who you are?"

Lin Haitang seemed to hear a sound of people sucking in their breaths, and she glanced at the others in confusion.

Zhou Jun, who was standing behind the crowd, paused, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Gu An took a deep breath and said calmly, "I am Gu An."

Zhao Hongwei and the others watched Lin Haitang roll her eyes, which was very vivid. To be honest, they had never seen disdain, speechlessness and sarcasm so clearly in a woman's expression.

Snapped!

Lin Haitang quickly closed the door and shouted, "Liu Sanyou! There's a group of troublemakers at the door!"

Hearing Lin Haitang's voice, Liu Sanyou, who was chopping wood in the backyard, ran to the front yard with an axe.

Liu Wanwan also heard it in the room. She put down the book in her hand and ran away without even closing the door.

The people who were locked outside the door looked at each other, and then all lowered their heads to look at Gu An.

Gu An pursed his thin lips tightly.

Lin Haitang paused, suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked towards the door.

The man in the wheelchair is wearing a mask!

Damn, it really is Gu An!

No wonder, no wonder Lin Haitang felt that he looked familiar just now, but just couldn't remember where he was.

Thinking of the people outside the door, Lin Haitang held Gu Chen's hand tightly, and then began to scream silently.

After preparing herself mentally, Lin Haitang looked hopeless, then she forced a smile and opened the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It was so sudden that I didn't recognize you." Lin Haitang said to Gu An with an awkward smile.

Lin Haitang really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It’s really not Lin Haitang’s fault for not recognizing him. When Gu An was at home, the original body didn’t dare to look at Gu An for even a second. Even when doing things at night, it was dark. What’s more, Gu An was always wearing a mask. According to the original body’s brain, it was really good enough to have an impression of Gu An.

If it weren't for the mask, Lin Haitang would never have recognized Gu An.

Gu An's dark pupils were fixed on Lin Haitang, and the awkward smile on Lin Haitang's face was almost unbearable.

"Aren't you the troublemaker? Why are you laughing at the troublemaker?" Liu Sanyou raised the axe in his hand and frowned at Lin Haitang and Gu An.

Liu Wanwan ran slowly, but her voice was loud. Before anyone arrived, she was heard shouting, "Sister? Where is the troublemaker, sister? Get away quickly, let my husband kill him!"

Lin Haitang really wanted to leave this planet. She turned her head to look at Liu Sanyou and said through gritted teeth, "Shut up!"

Then he looked at Gu An, a smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly put Gu Chen in his hand on Gu An's legs and said, "Look, your youngest son was born on August 19th."

"Wow~" Gu Chen smiled, revealing two baby teeth as big as rice grains, which was particularly cute. He held Gu An's thumb with one hand and reached forward with one hand to touch Gu An's mask.

Seeing this scene, Lin Haitang just wanted to give Gu Chen a big kiss: He really deserves to be my son, he knows how to help his mother out of trouble.

Gu An's expression relaxed a little, and he smiled as he looked at Gu Chen in his arms.

Lin Haitang looked at the people behind Gu An, put on a smile, and said, "You are all Gu An's comrades, right? Please come in, please come in."

Zhang Hongwei and the others were obviously experiencing the first time a woman couldn't recognize her husband, but they were also experienced in big situations. They cleared their throats and called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law."

"Excuse me, sister-in-law."

As everyone entered, Lin Haitang quickly said, "Don't bother me, don't bother me. I'm so happy that Gu An brought you back, how could I bother you? I really made a fool of myself just now."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay. I understand. We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's all those damn Huns' fault." Zhao Hongwei greeted Lin Haitang.

"Sister!" Liu Wanwan ran over and wanted to pull Lin Haitang.

Lin Haitang grabbed Liu Wanwan and said with a smile: "Wanwan, this is your brother-in-law, and these are his brothers."

Liu Wanwan looked at Gu An sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes widened in shock, then she calmed down and shouted, "Hello, brother-in-law."

Gu An nodded calmly.

Lin Haitang just saw Zhou Jun at the back and greeted him, "Brother Zhou Jun, long time no see."

Zhou Jun quickly clasped his fists and said, "Meet the Madam."

Lin Haitang said to Song Buwei, "Big brother, let me push him."

Song Buwei became much more reserved, gave up his seat, and said, "Okay, okay."

Lin Haitang introduced Liu Wanwan and Liu Sanyou to Gu An: "This is my sister Liu Wanwan, and that is Liu Sanyou, Wanwan's husband."

Liu Sanyou had just greeted Zhao Hongwei and the others, then nodded towards Gu An and said with a smile, "Brother Gu An."

Gu An still nodded faintly.

Lin Haitang took care of everyone while she cleaned up the hall, with a smile on her face. Then she looked down at Gu An and asked in a low voice, "When did your leg get broken?"

"May." Gu An answered in a steady tone, gently pinching Gu Chen's cheek with his hand.

Lin Haitang felt that Gu An was really unlucky. His face was destroyed by the fire, he could not make any progress in his career, and his legs were disabled when he joined the army.

"Is it temporary or will I never be able to stand up again?" Lin Haitang frowned.

Gu An paused for a second, then said, "It should be forever."

Tsk.

Lin Haitang sighed inwardly, then said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk about it in detail when we return to the room tonight."

After hearing Lin Haitang's words, Gu An curled his fingers slightly, raised his head, and looked at her deeply.

Lin Haitang was thinking in her mind that she had to find some good doctors to see Gu An. It would be better to let Liu Wanwan see him first. Whether she let the doctor treat him or she took the risk of giving him the elixir, the final result would be to cure Gu An.

What if he can’t be cured and Gu An doesn’t divorce him?

Gu An's face is now ruined and his legs are lame. He knows that it is difficult for him to marry again, but if he insists on not getting a divorce, he will be doomed.

Lin Haitang would not allow this to happen.

Zhao Xiangjun came back after buying salt and soy sauce. She heard the commotion in the main hall and walked over in confusion, only to see a room full of people.

"Sister-in-law!" Lin Haitang saw her first and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Gu An is back. He just came back. These are his good friends in the barracks."

Zhao Xiangjun was instantly at a loss. Grabbing the hem of her clothes, she stammered and bowed to Gu An: "Gu, Captain Gu!"

Zhao Xiangjun's posture of blessing was not standard. She learned it from the maids of the young ladies she saw on the street. It was a bit funny.

Gu An knew who she was and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite."

"You're no longer a lieutenant. Gu'er is now a deputy general." Zhao Hongwei helped Zhao Xiangjun up and said, "You are Zhang Ben's wife, right? Zhang Ben has told us about you. Now it seems that you are indeed a capable person."

Zhao Xiangjun looked at Lin Haitang for help. Lin Haitang received her pleading look and said, "This is General Zhao."

When she heard that it was a general, Zhao Xiangjun hurriedly tried to salute again, but was stopped by Zhao Hongwei.

Lin Haitang said, "General Zhao, brothers, let Sanyou and Gu An take care of you first. My sister-in-law and I will go cook with Wanwan."

"Brother Zhang has gone to pick up the two children. He should be back soon. You'll see them in a while." Lin Haitang said to Gu An, picked up Gu Chen and planned to send him to the wet nurse.

Gu An nodded, his eyes following Lin Haitang almost never moving away.

After sending Gu Chen to the wet nurse, Lin Haitang and the other two went to the kitchen to start cooking.

"I didn't expect that the master would come back so suddenly." Zhao Xiangjun added water to the big pot.

"Oh," Lin Haitang smiled coldly while washing vegetables, "I didn't recognize him. I thought they were causing trouble and wanted to beat them out."

Thinking of this, Lin Haitang wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It's so embarrassing and socially destructive.

Damn Gu An. Lin Haitang gritted her teeth and vented her anger on Gu An.

It turned out that Gu An and her were not compatible. The sooner they divorced, the sooner they would be free.

Lin Haitang sighed and washed the vegetables resignedly.
