Gu Lili was looking out the door and saw Gu Qing'an coming back with a woman in his arms. She walked a few steps to greet him, "Brother, who is she?" The woman's clothes didn't look like a lady from a wealthy family.
"She is a girl I just rescued on the roadside. Her foot was injured." Gu Qing'an was also helpless. He didn't know what to do with this girl now.
Gu Lili's eyes fell on Zhou Yu, "Why did you bring her back?" Brother, if you bring someone back so openly, wouldn't it ruin the other person's reputation? What if this woman takes advantage of this to get entangled with Brother? You know, her brother is going to marry a lady from an official family in the future.
"I can't just throw her on the roadside, can I?" As a soldier, he couldn't do such a thing.
"But what if she gets entangled with you?"
"Probably not." Gu Qing'an looked at Zhou Yu in his arms uncertainly.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes, "Why don't we find a place to settle her down while she's still asleep?"
"That's not a good idea." Gu Qing'an hesitated.
"What's wrong with that? You have no relationship with her, and saving her is already the most righteous thing to do. Big brother, can you not be so stubborn?" She didn't want a woman of unknown origin to be her sister-in-law.
Zhou Yu opened her eyes quickly after hearing that. Gu Qing'an was going to be a military commander in the future, and she couldn't let go of this good opportunity to get entangled with him.
"Ah~ Who are you?" Zhou Yu screamed in panic, pushing Gu Qing'an, trying to break free from his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I just saved you." Gu Qing'an quickly explained what happened before.
"Thank you for saving me, I..." Zhou Yu's eyes were red as she spoke, and her pitiful appearance made people want to pity her.
"It's okay, you can recuperate at my house these days." Gu Qing'an gently comforted Zhou Yu.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes. After finally getting rid of Ling Yao, here comes another woman of unknown origin.
"Thank you! I will definitely repay you." Zhou Yu looked at Gu Qing'an, her tearful eyes full of seriousness.
Gu Qingan's heart skipped a beat, and the tip of his ear was slightly red. "Don't take it to heart. This is what I should do as a soldier. Just focus on your recovery."
"Just don't use this to pester my elder brother."
"Lili." Gu Qingan looked at Gu Lili with dissatisfaction.
"I don't care." Gu Lili snorted coldly and turned to run into the house.
"Did I make your sister unhappy? I'll go apologize to her. Put me down. I can walk by myself." Zhou Yu patted Gu Qingan's hand gently, with a hint of shyness on her face.
"It's okay, she's just a child, you don't have to worry about her." Gu Qingan carried Zhou Yu into the house and carefully placed her on a chair in the main room. "I'll go get you a glass of water."
"Thank you!" Zhou Yu nodded with a red face.
Gu Qingan saw Zhou Yu's slightly red cheeks, and a sense of joy rose inexplicably in his heart. He turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhou Yu curved the corners of her lips. Gu Qingan can only be hers in this life, and no one can take him away.
When Gu Lili came out of the room, she saw Zhou Yu sitting in the main hall. She walked up to him and said, "I warn you not to have any ideas about my elder brother. My elder brother is not someone you can covet."
"Don't get me wrong. I'm just grateful to elder brother Gu for saving me. I never thought of pestering him." Zhou Yu caught a glimpse of a green figure from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were stained with a mist. He looked so delicate, like a daffodil swaying in the wind, making people want to protect him.
"Lili, when did you become so aggressive?" Gu Qing'an walked in with a glass of water, staring at Gu Lili sternly.
"Brother Gu, you misunderstood. My sister didn't say anything."
"Who is your sister?"
Zhou Yu pursed her lips and lowered her head aggrievedly.
Gu Qing'an walked up to Zhou Yu and handed her the cup in his hand, "Drink some water."
"Yeah." Zhou Yu reached out and wiped her eyes, then reached out to take the cup of water.
Gu Lili looked at the two of them, stomped her feet in anger, and ran out.
"Or I'd better leave." Zhou Yu put down the cup and looked at Gu Qing'an with red eyes. She had been with Gu Qing'an for so many years in her previous life, so she naturally knew what kind of person Gu Qing'an was. Her current goal was to make Gu Qing'an feel pity for her and fall in love with her. As for Gu Lili, she was a person who loved to take advantage, and she would have plenty of time to deal with her in the future.
Gu Qingan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have family?" After all, the other party is a girl, and it is not very convenient for her to live in his house.
Zhou Yu shook her head, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye as she shook her head, "My mother died, and my father sold me to human traffickers. If I go back, he will definitely sell me again."
Gu Qingan couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhou Yu, "Why don't you live in my house first?"
"But won't that be too much trouble?"
"It's okay."
"When my foot is healed, I will definitely find a job."
Gu Qingan smiled, "Just live here with peace of mind." What a kind and sensible girl. "
Okay." Zhou Yu nodded shyly, with a smile of success on her lips. Gu Qingan is indeed as soft-hearted as in his previous life. I believe it won't take long for Gu Qingan to fall in love with her.
On the other side, Ling Yao was drying the herbs she picked today.
"Yaoyao, it's time to eat." Ling Xuemei shouted at the kitchen door.
"I'll be right there." Ling Yao spread all the herbs out and put them on the shelf, then went to the well to wash her hands and walked towards the kitchen.
Ling Xuemei handed the prepared rice to Ling Yao.
Ling Yao took the bowl, "Mom, I'm going to the city tomorrow."
"Do you want to buy anything?" Ling Xuemei picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Ling Yao's bowl. She treated patients and her family's conditions were much better than those of the villagers, so as long as it was within her ability, she would satisfy her daughter.
"I dug up a wild ginseng in the mountains today, and I plan to go to the city to see if anyone wants to buy it." Ling Yao put down the bowl, took out a ginseng wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Ling Xuemei.
Ling Xuemei took the ginseng and carefully examined it. "This ginseng is of good quality. The lines on it are like wrinkles on an old man's face. Each line represents the wind, frost, rain and snow it has experienced. And its head is so big, which means it is very old. It is estimated to be a hundred years old. It is a treasure."
"I want to sell it to improve our lives. I also plan to do some small business. Now that the reform and opening up have just begun, it is the best time to do business." Ling Yao expressed her thoughts.
Hearing this, Ling Xuemei smiled with relief, "You have really grown up. Do whatever you want. Mom will always support you."
"Thank you, Mom! You are so nice!" Ling Yao stood up and hugged Ling Xuemei.
"Just now I said you grew up, and now you are like a child again." Ling Xuemei smiled and hugged Ling Yao, her eyes full of love and pampering.
