Chapter 119 Too much to eat, absolutely too much to eat
Su Niannian turned around and saw a woman arm in arm with a greasy middle-aged man.
In this day and age, even married couples wouldn't hold hands or link arms in front of so many people.
After all, it was still an era of strict separation between men and women, and any intimate actions would not be taken in public.
This woman is Zhao Fengxia, Gu Nan's former sister-in-law, who appeared at Gu Nan's house yesterday afternoon.
She was dressed even more extravagantly than yesterday, and had even put on makeup and lipstick.
Lipstick was a rare item in that era, and it was usually only worn on the wedding day. The colors were also relatively limited, unlike in later generations where there were hundreds of shades.
The lipstick on Zhao Fengxia's lips made Su Niannian feel uncomfortable, like she had swallowed a dead child.
Su Niannian turned around and looked at Gu Nan's older brother, Gu Zhendong, wanting to see what kind of expression he had.
Has he truly let go of his ex-wife?
As a result, Su Niannian was very satisfied with the answer. When Gu Zhendong looked at Zhao Fengxia again, he no longer felt anything.
Treat it like a stranger.
The current Zhao Fengxia is indeed someone Gu Zhendong has never seen before, and she is indeed a stranger.
Now that Gu Zhendong has let go, Su Niannian has even less to worry about.
"Auntie, state-run restaurants require payment before serving food, didn't you know that?" Su Niannian's pleasant voice attracted many people's attention.
"Auntie? What did you call me? You called me Auntie??" Zhao Fengxia was somewhat taken aback.
She wasn't even thirty years old yet, how could she be worthy of being called "aunt" by Su Niannian?
"Isn't that right? I saw that you and the middle-aged man next to you were a couple, so I thought you were the same age," Su Niannian said innocently.
"You two aren't more than ten years apart, are you?" Su Niannian's voice was delicate and soft, and she had the appearance of an innocent white lotus flower. Su Niannian's act actually worked.
Zhao Fengxia was furious.
On the contrary, the middle-aged bald man kept his gaze fixed on Su Niannian.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
For a moment, I was completely engrossed in watching it.
It was at this moment that Gu Nan stepped between Su Niannian and the middle-aged man.
This blocked the greasy man's gaze from looking at Su Niannian.
When the middle-aged man saw that it was Gu Nan again, and felt Gu Nan's cold aura, he was honestly a little afraid.
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat at a state-run restaurant? Why aren't you ordering?" The middle-aged man changed the subject.
But unfortunately, Comrade Zhao Fengxia continued to court disaster.
"What? You got divorced, and now you have the money to eat this stuff?"
"The last meal before death??" Zhao Fengxia continued.
In fact, not only Gu Zhendong, but also Gu Nan and Su Niannian, did not understand why Zhao Fengxia had such malice towards Gu Zhendong.
Su Niannian learned from Gu Nan that Gu Zhendong had treated Zhao Fengxia very well before, and was the type who would save the best food for the mother and son.
Moreover, Gu Zhendong's broken leg was not intentional. Who would want to become disabled for no reason?
Zhao Fengxia took the child and left for more than a year, and Gu Zhendong never blamed her.
Why was she so tolerant of him? How could Zhao Fengxia harbor such malice towards a husband like that?
"Ma'am, please have some self-respect. If you're here to be executed, don't assume everyone else is like you, okay?"
Su Niannian couldn't stand it at all.
"Heh, little girl, who do you think you are? Do you have any right to speak here?" Zhao Fengxia sneered.
Before Su Niannian could retort, Gu Nan spoke first.
"If you can't speak properly, then speak; if you can't, then get lost. If you say another bad word about her, I don't mind making you the first woman I ever hit."
Gu Nan's voice was deep and cold, as if it possessed an inherent intimidating power.
In all the years Zhao Fengxia had known Gu Nan, she had never seen him like this.
Those eyes alone looked like they wanted to kill someone.
Zhao Fengxia knew that Gu Nan had been a soldier before, and what he was like in the army, so naturally she didn't dare to say a word.
But what kind of relative is this girl in the Gu family that Gu Nan would speak up for her?
Gu Nan rarely speaks at home, and when he does, it's just a few words at a time.
Su Niannian sat in her seat, smiling happily.
She liked Gu Nan's domineering way of protecting her, and she was happy.
"You too, stop talking so much nonsense. Hurry up and order. If you don't want to eat, then get out." The middle-aged man was getting impatient.
He had no idea that Zhao Fengxia's ex-husband had a younger brother who had once been a regimental commander. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have gotten involved with Zhao Fengxia.
With his wealth, he could find anything he wanted.
If she hadn't slept with Zhao Fengxia a few times, she would have gotten pregnant, and the master even said it was a boy.
Otherwise, why would I have married a divorced woman?
After being yelled at by her current husband, Zhao Fengxia lost all her previous arrogance and quickly apologized with a smile.
The three men felt disgusted when they saw Zhao Fengxia's fawning manner.
Zhao Fengxia and the bald, greasy man went to order food.
"Gu Nan, sit down and eat." Su Niannian quietly tugged at Gu Nan's wrist, gesturing for him to sit down.
Su Niannian first poured the three meat dishes into aluminum lunch boxes, saying, "Take these three back for Auntie and Ningning."
As he spoke, he put the packed lunchbox into the basket on his back.
This scene was witnessed by Zhao Fengxia, who was ordering food in the distance, and she even pouted.
"I thought they'd be willing to spend more, but they still packed it up to take away," Zhao Fengxia whispered.
"Don't worry about saving me money, order whatever you want to eat." The greasy, bald man touched his shiny head with his hand adorned with three gold rings, speaking with an air of wealth and arrogance.
Zhao Fengxia laughed heartily at the bald man.
On the other side, Gu Nan asked Gu Zhendong, "Can you still eat?"
"Of course, we're not related anymore, but I do feel like I made a bad choice before." Gu Zhendong gave a helpless smile, then started eating heartily.
Knowing that I'd already packed one to take home, I could eat as much as I wanted.
During this time, Gu Nan kept serving food to Su Niannian.
"That's enough, that's enough, I can't eat this much." Su Niannian quickly waved her hand in refusal.
Gu Nan piled so much meat on his plate; how could he possibly finish it all?
"You eat first, and if you can't finish, I'll eat it." Gu Nan said, and then started eating heartily.
Su Niannian smiled happily.
Compared to Zhao Fengxia, Gu Zhendong now feels that Su Niannian is even better.
He was just wondering why he ordered double portions of meat and vegetables, but now he knows that Su Niannian was planning to pack them up to take back to her mother and sister, and that ordering them in advance would make it easier for him to eat without feeling pressured.
What a lovely young lady! Gu Nan is really lucky.
Gu Zhendong hopes that Gu Nan and Su Niannian can always be happy together.
