Chapter 208 My Great-Aunt's Sudden Visit (1/2)

Grandpa Gu didn't dare to say a word; Gu Hong had indeed acted unfairly in this matter.

It's not that the Gu family doesn't agree to arrange a job for their granddaughter; they just want to wait two more months until their granddaughter-in-law finishes her postpartum confinement. Why can't they wait that long?

Grandpa Gu felt a little uncomfortable, but since the other person was his cousin who had saved his life and suffered a lifelong disability in her arm, he couldn't just send her back when she was already at the door.

"Let them come to our house for dinner, and arrange for them to stay at the guesthouse tonight. It's not appropriate for Hanhan to have too many people at home while she's in postpartum confinement."

I'll help arrange their work; once that's done, they can go home.

Grandma Jiang sighed; that was all she could do.

The elderly couple were certainly not the type to turn someone away once they were at the door.

But Gu Hong is really incompetent at handling things.

She went into the courtyard to call Gu Huaiming.

"Go to the door and meet your Aunt Gu Hong. She and her granddaughter Xiao Ya are here."

They bring people to their homes for dinner, and then send them to the guesthouse to rest in the evening.

Your dad will call the guesthouse in a bit and ask them to reserve a room for you. Go pick them up first.

Gu Hong and Xiao Ya squatted at the entrance of the military base with large and small bags of luggage.

"Xiaoya, when we get to your great-uncle's house, you'd better be careful and cling to your great-uncle and great-aunt. They'll arrange an easy job for you as a female soldier and introduce you to a high-ranking military officer to marry."

Xiaoya nodded. She had known for a long time that she had a great-uncle who was a high-ranking officer in the military. Her mother had told her long ago that she would marry a military officer and become a female soldier.

Now that she has reached marriageable age, her mother begged her grandmother to take her to Kyoto to find relatives. From then on, her life will be changed against all odds.

"Grandma, my great-uncle's family also has my uncles and aunts, as well as my cousins ​​and their wives. I'm a little nervous."

Gu Hong was furious that her granddaughter, who was about to live a life of luxury, was still so unambitious.

"What are you afraid of? What are you nervous about? Your great-uncle is the one who calls the shots in this family. As long as everyone else is polite on the surface, there's no need to be nervous."

That said, your cousin's wife isn't as close to you as your great-uncle.

She's an outsider who married into the family; she's still an outsider. You and your great-uncle are blood relatives.

Don't you understand this principle?

Xiaoya instantly became confident. Grandma was right. Her cousin-in-law was just an outsider who had married into the family. In the household, it was still her great-uncle who made the decisions.

If you want to live a good life, just suck up to your great-uncle.

When Gu Huaiming arrived at the entrance of the department, he saw two women squatting in the corner.

He was a little unsure, but after looking around and seeing that there was no one else, he went up to them.

"Is that Auntie and Xiaoya?"

Gu Hong hadn't seen Gu Huaiming for decades, but Gu Huaiming looked like the old man, so she could tell at a glance that they were family.

She stood up from the ground, dusted herself off, and warmly greeted Gu Huaiming.

"Oh my, it's Huaiming, right? Look how grown up you are! The last time I saw you, you were just a young man, and now you're a grandfather."

Gu Huaiming didn't have much of an impression of Gu Hong. He had only met her once a long time ago when he went back to his hometown to visit relatives with his grandfather.

"Yes, I am Gu Huaiming. I'm here to get my luggage. Just follow me in."

From the moment Gu Hong and Xiao Ya stepped through the gates of the military base, they felt their status had changed, and they stood up straight as a board.

"Wow, the military is really different here. It's so impressive. This uniform looks so good on them."

It would look great on my granddaughter Xiaoya too.
