Chapter 1728: End of Secondment 1
All the way here, Sister-in-law Gu’s mouth was dry, and her throat hurt from repeatedly answering questions.
Dundun, who usually didn’t like talking, thoughtfully handed Sister-in-law Gu the military canteen he was carrying.
He was used to listening to his mother’s words, carrying a canteen when going out to replenish water anytime.
The thirsty Sister-in-law Gu quickly praised him a few times, took a few sips of water, and continued to handle the endless questions from everyone, all about the real and fake members of the Gu Family and whether to continue caring for the Gu Mei and Gu Min sisters.
As Sister-in-law Gu tirelessly repeated her previous answers, Gu Mei and Gu Min’s hearts slowly settled.
Grandma said so before she left, and now Aunt says the same thing. Does it mean they really don’t have to return to their parents and suffer? Gu Mei was a bit older and more sensible. She wasn’t afraid of hardship, she could do laundry and cook. She was just afraid that their mother would pressure them to dedicate their whole lives to the Shen Family men, with no freedom in their future studies, life, and marriage, making them like walking corpses.
Feng Qingxue and the three sisters went their separate ways to buy the things they needed, while Lu Erxiong rushed with his mother and brother towards the meat stall.
Feng Qingxue stumbled, "We don’t have any Meat Tickets this month!"
"You don’t need tickets for buying two taels of meat, and if the three of us buy separately, we can get half a pound!" Lu Erxiong liked to wander around. When Feng Qingxue was working, he would come to the food store with Cheng Baoguo and his wife or Sister-in-law Gu, and he had already figured things out.
For eating, Lu Erxiong specifically asked the three of them to line up separately, with others in between.
