Chapter 537

Gu Mu had just recovered from a serious illness, and her face was pale to the extreme.

Yet even so, in her heart, the first thing she cared about was still her son working hard outside.

"Mom..."

Gu Hua hugged his mother, and an unprecedented sense of guilt surged into his heart.

In his arms was his mother!

When did she get so thin...

What kind of son was he?

His mother was seriously ill, and he hadn't even spent a single day by her bedside.

His mother was in the midst of a serious illness, and she hadn't even seen her son once before he rushed back to the Magic City to start working overtime...

"Gu Hua..."

"I heard you say you had a seriously ill mother with no one to take care of her, so I took the liberty of having someone bring her over."

"You... you won't be unhappy, will you..."

Luo Fang looked at the mother and son hugging and crying in front of her, saying somewhat cautiously.

"No... no..."

"How could I..."

Gu Hua's eyes were red, his voice choked with sobs.

"Then... then you two talk, I have other things to do, so I'll be going first..."

"Hey..."

Gu Mu, seeing Luo Fang about to leave, became a bit anxious.

"Girl! Stay for a meal before you go!"

"I've even finished cooking!"

"Little Hua's father left early, and he's been dependent on me since he was small; the two of us can't eat that much food..."

"No, no!"

The usually carefree and straightforward Luo Fang blushed instantly.

"Auntie... I don't live far from here, and today's work isn't finished yet..."

"I'll come visit often!"

Having said that, Luo Fang lowered her head and left in a flash.

Gu Hua looked at the scene before him, scratching his head in confusion.

"You only know how to scratch your head! You blockhead!"

Gu Mu's somewhat complaining voice came over.

"Such a good girl, and you didn't even know how to ask her to stay for a meal..."

"You're pushing thirty, and you don't even know how to think for yourself!"

Looking at her son's foolish appearance, Gu Mu sighed helplessly.

"Come in and eat! Mom made your favorite braised fish..."

"Coming, coming!"

Listening to his mother's call, Gu Hua felt a warmth in his heart.

"Mom! You just recovered, why did you make so many dishes..."

"Isn't this what you love to eat?"

Gu Mu took out several more dishes from the thermal box, all of which were Gu Hua's favorites.

"Last year during the New Year, you said you had to work overtime, and you didn't get to eat Mom's cooking."

"Last time you went back to your hometown, Mom wasn't strong enough, my body wasn't doing well, I couldn't cook for you, and I didn't even get to see you..."

"Sigh..."

"Alright, let's not talk about those things, let's eat!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Gu Hua nodded like a garlic-pounding pestle.

As the mother and son ate, Gu Hua told his mother about what happened today, while Gu Mu rested her chin on her hand, looking at her son with brimming eyes.

It was just like when he was a child, coming home from school, and Gu Hua would tell his mother about the fresh things that happened at school.

"Has the society outside become this good?"

"It's good to have a country!"

"The country said it would let us follow it, and it would let us live a good life, and it was true..."

"Yes!"

Gu Hua looked at everything before him and glanced at his mother again.

He nodded with extreme firmness.

"Later... I'll go tidy up the flower beds and the lawn outside. With such good land, wouldn't it be great to grow vegetables?"

"Isn't that little stream for watering?"

"Mom! This is the layout designed by a professional designer, it's so beautiful! Why mess with it?" Gu Hua's voice of protest rang out.

"Can beauty be eaten? We people of the Dragon Country, even if we go to the moon or Mars, we have to grow vegetables!"

"And those old pieces of furniture at home, it's a pity to throw them away, let's put in the effort to move them over too..."

"And your own life-long affairs, Little Hua, you have to keep them in mind. If you meet a girl you like, just pursue her openly..."

Gu Hua's situation was by no means an isolated case.

In the Dragon Country, countless people were living the dream life they never dared to imagine before.

At first, when netizens from the Freedom Country saw the announcement released by the Dragon Country government saying that energy and housing would be completely free, they laughed until their stomachs hurt.

All over the Dragon Country's internet, various mocking and insulting voices directed at the Dragon Country government were endless.

The vast majority of Freedom Country people believed that the Dragon Country was talking nonsense!

Even they hadn't achieved such a life, how could a mere Dragon Country achieve it first?

However.

The reality now placed before everyone was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face to these people from the Freedom Country!

As more and more people in the Dragon Country were allocated houses, and more and more people rented the cool-looking flying shuttles.

On the internet, the mocking voices from the Freedom Country towards the Dragon Country became visibly much quieter...

Until finally, these Freedom Country dogs who were barking on the Dragon Country's internet not long ago completely lost their voices.

In this world, humiliation and attacks never hurt anyone.

The truth is the sharp blade!

Their mortal enemy's life was getting better and better, even living a life they didn't dare to imagine!

And looking at the Freedom Country itself?

On the battlefield, apart from the occasional victory report at the beginning, after the Dragon Country caught its breath, there were no more achievements worth mentioning...

Now, it is said that the situation on the battlefield is also firmly controlled by the Dragon Country.

As for within the Freedom Country, under the influence of such a long war, it was miserable to the extreme.

Energy?

Outside of those few big cities, power supply was cut off everywhere, and heating wasn't much better...

Even in the few cities with energy, energy costs were so high that ordinary people were deterred.

As for food and resources, the situation within the Freedom Country was even more miserable; prices soared, and a small piece of bread was already being hyped up to over a dozen US dollars!

Within the borders of the Freedom Country, under the influence of the war, the already unstable society became even more turbulent.

Rape, robbery, murder, shootings...

The probability of various vicious crimes soared exponentially!

The entire Freedom Country was almost on the verge of collapse...

The happy days of the past were gone forever!

And looking at their mortal enemy, the Dragon Country?

They were giving away houses, sports cars, and energy!
