Chapter 1691: Withered Wood Meets Spring 3
Dr. Gu’s attitude towards his niece-in-law was very different from that towards his daughter-in-law. He smiled and said, "She’s my elder brother’s student, called Feng Qingxue, also a military doctor temporarily assigned from the Capital Military District. The wild mountain goods I brought to you were her tokens of respect to me. I just ran into her today and found out she came here. I thought I’d have her visit our home so you might recognize her and avoid passing each other unawares in the future."
"Hello, sister-in-law, I came on short notice, hope I’m not imposing." Feng Qingxue handed over the fruit she originally bought for herself.
"Oh, you’re the doctor, you look so nice! Please come inside and have a seat. There’s no need to bring anything, you’re too thoughtful." Although Xu Xiaoman felt embarrassed to accept, Dr. Gu took it and hung it on the wall.
While Xu Xiaoman was pouring tea for Feng Qingxue, Feng Qingxue inadvertently noticed a photo of Station Master Gu in the frame.
They both have the surname Gu. Could they be related?
The Station Master Gu looked about thirty years old and didn’t seem like Gu Tian, the nephew mentioned by Dr. Gu.
Suppressing her doubts, Feng Qingxue sat on the sofa and asked about the situation in Dr. Gu’s family, the conflict between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and the elder living at a nephew’s house, which seemed quite a mess.
Dr. Gu sighed deeply, she felt it was a terrible situation too.
