Chapter 509
I just can't forget
Gu Shu irritably raised his hand and scratched his hair, his brows furrowed, the frustration in his heart almost suffocating him, and the weariness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Mom, please, if you really care about me, then let me catch my breath and stop bothering me with these things."
"I have no plans to remarry, so please let me rest. You and Dad really want a grandson. If you really push me too far, I'll just adopt one from outside and give it to you to raise."
Having learned his lesson, he dares not now randomly seek out other women for a fake marriage.
He made some mistakes, but one mistake was enough to make him regret it so much that he could never forgive himself and would never make the same mistake again.
When I was young.
She once whispered in his ear that if he became dirty, she would abandon him without hesitation.
Find another clean and honest man who treats him well.
Since what happened with Lu Xiaoya, Gu Shu sometimes thinks that over the years, Sui Sui's attitude towards him has become increasingly cold, even treating him like a stranger.
Is it because... he married another woman back then?
Every time he thought about this, Gu Shu felt incredibly regretful. He wanted countless times to go back to that time and kill the version of himself who married another woman.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yinfang became anxious. She instinctively tried to step forward and pull Gu Shu away, but was coldly avoided by him.
"What...what are you saying? Your father and I want to have a grandson."
"But the premise is that this grandson is your own flesh and blood, our family's child, not just any random child you bring home that we would accept."
"Little Shu, Little Shu, don't scare your mother. I can't take a scare. I won't pressure you to get married for now. Don't have any crazy ideas. Your father and I are getting old and can't take a scare."
She only had one son in her life, but she suffered so much in the past.
She genuinely wanted to make up for the grievances her son had suffered and everything he had missed.
Gu Shu took a step back, distancing himself from Xie Yinfang, and raised his hand to rub his sore temples.
It's better to lay everything out in the open and make things clear to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
"Mom, you're the one who needs to calm down. I'm perfectly clear-headed now. I don't need to think about it anymore, and I don't need to calm down anymore."
"You don't need to go to all that trouble to find me a partner, I'm not getting married."
"I don't want anyone but that person."
Xie Yinfang froze, staring blankly at her son.
That person?
Xu Sui's beautiful and alluring face immediately came to mind.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment, and the already small room seemed somewhat oppressive and gloomy.
Xie Yinfang remained silent for a long time, the panic in her heart almost suffocating her.
She clenched her fists tightly, trying to stay calm and rational so she could have a proper talk with her son about the matter.
"...It's impossible for you two, Xiao Shu, give up."
"And she doesn't love you at all, or rather, she never loved you or liked you."
"Little Book, why can't you let go? Why can't you let go? What's there to be so hung up on?"
Xie Yinfang's voice became hoarse as she spoke.
She didn't understand, she really didn't understand, what was so great about liking such a hypocritical woman?
Is that childhood friendship really so unforgettable and deeply etched in one's memory?
But Xu Sui is already married, and has been married for many years with both a son and a daughter, and a loving husband and wife.
They're a great couple.
Even if she went against her conscience, she couldn't possibly say that Qin Yunzhou was inferior to her son.
So how could a hypocritical woman like Xu Sui possibly abandon her happy and fulfilling family to get back together with her son?
Gu Shu turned her back to Xie Yinfang and did not answer her question.
Actually, he had tried to let go, but he just couldn't.
There's no reason why I can't let go; I just can't let go.
……
next door.
After putting the two children to sleep, Xu Sui quietly and carefully explained the factory's recruitment situation to Qin Yunzhou.
Although Qin Yunzhou had already overheard this in the communal kitchen, he still needed to tell him some details.
Because this is one of their jobs.
The political commissar's position involves a wide variety of matters.
The military has entrusted Qin Yunzhou with the entire responsibility of coordinating with her on the factory's recruitment positions.
One reason is that his job involves comforting military families, and another reason is that they are a married couple.
If she provides more job opportunities for the military, it will actually be helpful for Qin Yunzhou's work in the military.
Xu Sui only found out about this later. It turned out that Xie Yinfang had already pressured the leaders of the military to punish Qin Yunzhou for disciplinary issues.
However, although the Gu family is powerful, Gu Linshan, the commander, is currently far away in Beijing and not at the location where the troops are stationed.
Therefore, if he wants to do anything, he has to see if the top leader of the unit will give him face.
The actual person in charge of this place is another old leader.
The two men held similar positions, so people would give him some face, but they couldn't expect him to listen to everything he said.
Solving employment problems for military personnel's families is a major issue.
The military would not listen to Xie Yinfang and transfer them to remote and harsh border military regions, nor would they punish them arbitrarily.
After learning about this, Xu Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer afraid of Xie Yinfang.
Sometimes the two of them would lie in bed chatting.
Qin Yunzhou even praised her, calling her his lucky star.
Because of her, a high-ranking leader in the military now greatly appreciates Qin Yunzhou and has publicly praised her several times for marrying such a capable and good wife.
That high-ranking leader is none other than Commander Hong, the current head of their unit.
A few days ago, Chief Hong inquired about Xu Sui's work situation at the factory and even gave him a basket of persimmons to bring back for Xu Sui to try.
Because of this, Qin Yunzhou received a lot of envious glances from his comrades, and everyone praised him for marrying a good wife.
After reading the recruitment plan handed over by Xu Sui, Qin Yunzhou nodded slightly, his gaze towards Xu Sui was exceptionally gentle, and he spoke softly.
"Don't worry, I'll let the military know about this recruitment plan tomorrow, and it should be posted around this afternoon."
After careful calculation, including the previous and this one, there are actually over a hundred jobs provided for military family members.
This definitely solved a major problem for the military; otherwise, Xu Sui wouldn't have been remembered by Chief Hong, a high-ranking leader, and wouldn't have been praised in public on multiple occasions.
It should be noted that Xu Sui and Chief Hong had never even met once.
Yet, people still remembered it.
