Chapter 145
Mrs. Gu's face was wonderful.
Mr. Gu's face was okay, but a little heavy. Old Mrs. Gu said, "Nianjia is our granddaughter, and you are also our granddaughter."
Lin Shu turned to look at her, her expression was still as serious and solemn as before, without any resentment or excitement.
She said, "General Gu came here in person, I hope every word I say today is serious, don't let this meeting become a farce like the last time, so that I lose the last bit of respect... Grandma Gu, can you ask yourself with the future of your Gu family's descendants, will what I said not happen?"
Old Mrs. Gu:...
The words that were already on the tip of her tongue were blocked unexpectedly.
Ask yourself with the future of your own descendants?
Just a few days ago, she said, "You can have another child, but Nianjia needs bone marrow to save her life, help! As long as it matches, even if you have a child, what's wrong with just an operation? She won't die, but Nianjia will die, will die!"
She had the face to deny it, but she didn't dare to use the future of her own descendants to pressure. At that moment, she almost wanted to slap that disgusting face.
Mr. Gu obviously knew his old wife very well. He held her down with one hand, turned his head and glared at her fiercely, then looked back at Lin Shu and said in a deep voice: "Shushu, you are your father's only daughter. Even if I can't guarantee to take care of you in every way, I will try my best to take care of you."
He was not dissatisfied with Su Lingxing at that time, but he couldn't accept his son marrying a daughter whose family had fled abroad and whose overseas relations were very complicated.
After his son died and Su Lingxing was gone, he took his son's only daughter back. Even if he didn't like her and might be cold to her, he wouldn't let others abuse her.
He took a deep breath, paused, and said, "I didn't know you existed back then. If I knew, maybe things wouldn't have developed like that."
"I will choose to break off relations with your father, but I will no longer oppose his marriage to your mother."
Lin Shu: ...
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She believed what the old man said.
But his persistence and stubbornness at least did maintain her last bit of respect.
She looked down at the photo on the table again, reached out to pick it up, touched it, smiled bitterly, and said, "Right. Because of my mother's family background, you used all kinds of means to force them to separate. Even if they had a child, the only possibility for them to be together was to break off relations with you."
Lin Shu looked up and said, "General Gu, you think this is your principle, right?"
Old Master Gu said in a deep voice: "Shu Shu, I'm sorry, but you are already a mother, and your lover is also a soldier. You should understand."
"Understand?"
Lin Shu smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. She whispered, "Don't you really understand? It was your behavior that directly led to the destruction of their family, one death and one leaving home. The child should have died in the snow long ago, even if he didn't die at that time..."
It was only because she was lucky to meet her mother, Liang Jinxi and Aunt Hu, otherwise her fate would be tragic at every step.
She shook her head and said, "You see I am living a good life now, right? But my father was labeled a capitalist roader, and I, like my biological mother, had an unbearable family background that everyone could condemn..."
"If my husband and his family had treated my biological mother the same way you did,Just like my mother, they dislike my family background and are afraid that I will affect my lover's future. Now, I am no longer alive. Don't they know that my family background will affect my lover's future? They know very well that my lover's leader even obstructs it. But they still choose to accept me and love me, so you can see that I am still sitting here and talking to you. "
"You think you are just against a marriage, but in fact, you are the murderer who directly killed my biological father and me back then."
The muscles on Mr. Gu's face twitched heavily.
Lin Shu didn't need to listen to what he said.
What does it mean to say it now?
She took a deep breath and said, "Just like you said before, if you knew there was a child, you would not oppose their marriage, but you would choose to sever the relationship... In this case, even if my father is still alive, the relationship has been severed now. "
She said slowly, "There is no such reason in this world. If you think that the other party's family composition is not worthy of your family, or will drag down your family, you must sever the relationship. When you find that recognizing the other party will not cause any loss to your family, and may even be helpful, then ask to recognize the other party. "
After hearing her words, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost jumped up again.
But Lin Shu didn't even look at her.
After she finished speaking, she bowed solemnly to Mr. Gu and said, "However, I am very grateful that you told the truth. In this way, although I can't recognize my relatives, at least I believe your words and retain my respect for you as an ordinary junior. "
Grandpa Gu clenched his hands, loosened them, and clenched them again.
Before coming, he had thought about what Zhaoliang's child would look like... She was raised in Lin Zhaotong's home not long after she was born. He saw the smart and cunning Liang Zhen two days ago, and he thought the child should be raised well.
At least a well-mannered child.
He didn't care that she would be resentful and dissatisfied with them.
These can be slowly adjusted.
...But he never thought that she would be like this.
Direct and sharp, but serious and pious, impeccable.
When facing such a girl, you can almost only follow her way.
Grandpa Gu sighed, and the sentence "We will go to your father's grave tomorrow, you can go with us" that was originally on his lips became "Go and see your father's grave when you have time. It's in the Martyrs' Cemetery in the suburbs. We will leave a message to the tomb keeper. You go and tell the tomb keeper and let him show you the way. "
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu just left.
Gu Xiaowen also went to school today, and the driver was a driver.
Grandma Gu was still holding back when they just left the house, but as soon as she got in the car, she scolded, "Arrogant and disrespectful to elders, and asked me to swear on the future of the Gu family's descendants, I..."
"Shut up!"
Grandpa Gu said in a low voice, "The second son is dead, we are sorry for his only daughter, and now she is finally alive, do you still want to abuse her? "
Mrs. Gu was stuck for a moment, her heart was filled with grief and anger.
However, what Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu could not have imagined was that a few days later, the people from the Border Force Investigation Department came to their house.
The investigation was about the relationship between Lin Meilan and their eldest daughter-in-law, and whether Zhou Chengzhi's bribery of spies to assassinate officers of the army had anything to do with their Gu family... This investigation naturally turned Lin Shu's life experience upside down.
The investigation department wanted to investigate the spy, but the results of the investigation were all the private affairs of Captain Liang's lover.
With the war imminent, this matter was submitted and then suppressed.
Gu Nianjia is still living in the Jingshi Hospital.
Mr. Gu was very angry that the investigation department came to his house and that his eldest daughter-in-law was instigated to harm Lin Shu. This time he did not threaten, but directly asked Mrs. Gu to return to Jingshi to take care of Gu Nianjia, while he stayed in Guangzhou.
Mrs. Gu was very worried Gu Nianjia, who was seriously ill, was also worried about her eldest son and grandson who were now on the front line. Old Man Gu stayed behind. She was heartbroken for two days, and finally chose to stay.
Only Mrs. Gu was forced to go to Beijing.
Time passed slowly and quickly.
Because of the shadow of war, the Lin family had a bleak Spring Festival this year.
Even though Lin Zhaotong flew to Guangzhou to spend the Spring Festival with his wife and children, he could not completely relieve everyone's heavy heart.
At the end of February 1979.
At four o'clock in the morning, the mountains and forests were still shrouded in the night. The wind blew through the dense forest, rustling, ghosts, and only the distant sky was vaguely gray.
Liang Jinxi looked at the mountains and villages in the distance with a telescope.
Brigade Commander Lu walked behind him, waited for him to finish looking and put down the telescope, and then said: "You can't stay awake like this. Even if you are in good health, you must save your energy as much as possible."
"I know my limits. "
Brigade Commander Lu sighed, and whispered: "Jinxi, you have been very nervous these days. We will separate tomorrow. You should be careful and not be too radical. The most important thing is to save yourself and the soldiers."
Of course, on the battlefield, everyone is very nervous.
But he just felt that something was wrong with him... Being vigilant is a good thing, but being on the battlefield is not a day or two, and it is absolutely not feasible to not save energy and rest as much as possible.
Liang Jinxi smiled.
Brigade Commander Lu turned back to the camp, but Liang Jinxi turned back and called him.
"Limin,"
He said, "If I can't go back this time, tell her that you saw me die on the battlefield with your own eyes, and tell her not to wait for me anymore. "He called him by his name, not his title, which meant he was talking about a private matter.
Brigade Commander Lu's face changed drastically.
He said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
It was not uncommon for people to die on the battlefield.
The war lasted for half a month. After every battle, big or small, comrades who had eaten, lived and laughed together would fall down beside them.
Liang Jinxi was very calm, and did not look like he was leaving a will. He just lowered his eyes, pressed the gun on his waist, and said, "Just in case. You know, not seeing the person alive or the body dead may be more difficult for the family members than the news of direct death."
"Then come back alive!"
Brigade Commander Lu looked at him... He was never the kind of person who would say the word "death" first on the battlefield. He never cared about this before.
"She has a child,"
Brigade Commander Lu stared at him, his voice tight, and said, "It should be almost five months now, Liang Jinxi, no matter what time it is, you must remember to come back alive... What do you think her reaction will be when she hears the news of your death while pregnant?"
The originally indifferent and hard expression on Liang Jinxi's face finally cracked slowly.
The struggle and pain that were originally hidden deep flashed across his face.
Since he set foot on the battlefield, every night, in the dense forest, the wild or the village.
He would dream of some fragments.
It could be the next battle, or the next journey during the march.
...And in the last battle, in order to confuse the enemy's main force, he separated from the main force and led his troops to attack the north, facing the enemy's main force head-on, but the whole army was wiped out and he died on the battlefield.
At that time, he even felt the blood flowing out of his body.
But he didn't have any fear at that time.
He thought of Zhou Chengzhi repeatedly saying that she married him because she knew he would be powerful and have a bright future.
In fact...he died on the battlefield in his previous life, and he never met her.
Then there was endless pain, the pain she had suffered without him.
...He had always been like that. Whenever he thought of her without him, and her panic when they first met, his heart would choke.
He held the gun tightly, tightly, and held it. The cold metal texture almost embedded itself into his flesh and bones.
He smiled again and said, "Okay, even if I only have my last breath left, I will go back alive."
