MTLNOVEL Chapter 120: I Did It for Your Own Good
Under Gu Lingling's careful care, Yang Yunhai's body improved day by day.
At this moment, something happened in Nanshui Village that made Gu Haojun angry.
If it weren't for Gu Lingling's serious reminder, Gu Haojun might have definitely fallen into Liu Peiling's trap this time.
Who would have thought one's own mother would collude with outsiders to plot against her own son?
"Mom, if I didn't know my own background, I'd really doubt if I was your biological son." Gu Haojun looked disappointedly at Wang Meili who had a face of defeat, "From now on, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
After speaking, Gu Haojun picked up his luggage and left.
The way he came back was the same as the way he left.
"Jun'er, Jun'er." Wang Meili followed crying from behind, "Mom did this for your own good."
"For me? For me, you want to push someone I don't like onto me?" Gu Haojun was even more disappointed, "You're doing this for yourself."
"Jun'er, aren't your words breaking your mother's heart?" Wang Meili cried and said, "I'm all for you, Liu Family is powerful, in the future you..."
"No matter what happens in the future, I won't rely on a woman." Besides, Liu Family's power? It's just a bully in this chaotic world, only Wang Meili thinks it's good.
"And about Second Uncle's matter, just give up." Looking at Wang Meili crying like a tearful person, Gu Haojun frowned and said, "Your son is grown up now, I can support you without relying on anyone."
"No, you don't understand, Jun'er, you don't understand." Wang Meili shook her head, looking at her son's disappointed back leaving, crying uncontrollably.
Why did everything turn out like this?
It's all that little ~ shrew ~ Gu Lingling, she must have incited her son to alienate them behind the scenes.
"Brother, this time he might not be back for several more years." Gu Haojun sat opposite Gu Lingling, while not far away stood the always nervous Yao Jingsong keeping an eye on him.
His cousin.
"Take this money and the grain tickets." Gu Haojun took out some money and grain tickets from the pocket of his green military uniform, "Brother has nothing good to give you."
"I have money." Gu Lingling pushed them back, "You save it for when you get me a sister-in-law."
"I didn't expect you to actually speak the truth." Gu Haojun showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "My mom, she..."
Gu Lingling said nothing, and Gu Haojun didn't need her comfort.
"Brother is leaving, remember to write to me." Gu Haojun handed a piece of paper to Gu Lingling, "If there's anything urgent, call me."
"Okay, wait a moment, I have something to give you." Gu Lingling stood up and went to her room, Gu Haojun waved at the awkward Yao Jingsong.
When Gu Lingling came out, she was holding a bundle, which included knee pads and cotton socks she made for Gu Haojun in the past few days.
Gu Haojun's unit is in the Northeast where winter is extremely cold.
"Lingling." Gu Haojun felt touched.
During these few days back, Gu Juan either was never home, reportedly learning from an educated youth at the educated youth spot.
Learning?
Learning my ass.
Before he could finish two sentences, Gu Juan started back-talking, either crying saying he favored Gu Lingling more than his own sister or Grandma would come out to protect her.
What about his biological mother Wang Meili? She either asked about his promotion in the military or hinted at wanting to push Liu Peiling onto him.
The few days at home, he only felt the warmth of family from Grandpa.
Even Wang Meili never noticed the frostbite marks on his hands, but Gu Lingling quietly prepared so many things for him.
Gu Haojun boarded the train to return to his unit with feelings he couldn't understand.
That winter, Gu Haojun received a large package sent by Gu Lingling, inside were cotton clothes and some cured meat and pickled vegetables, filled with the taste of home, making this tough man burst into tears.
