Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Kicked out of the Military Compound

The summer nights were long and drawn out, and Qin Jian put all his energy into taking good care of his little wife.

It was very late by the time the two of them went to bed that night, and even in her dreams An Hao’s lips wore a satisfied smile...

............

A couple of days later when An Hao saw Zhang Guifang again, she seemed completely changed.

Previously, she had been downcast every day, but these last few days she had become spirited and lively.

An Hao approached her and asked about her situation, ”Sister-in-law, have you had some good news recently?”

”I finally got rid of that wretch Xin Ni!” Zhang Guifang spoke with a smile, ”It was the method you suggested. I brought her husband over, slapped five hundred yuan on the table, and had him play a scene with me!”

”What kind of play, Sister-in-law?” An Hao asked with a smile.

Before, she had been willing to help Zhang Guifang give Xin Ni a thorough dressing down, to make her pack up like a dung beetle and roll out of this courtyard!

But before she could ask, Zhang Guifang had already taken care of the matter.

”I had her husband trick her into thinking there was big money, telling her to follow him home. No more living at the mercy of others here, no more putting up with disdain for the sake of the little money Li Zecheng has. It’s not worth it! Upon hearing about the money, Xin Ni couldn’t care about anything else. In just a few sentences, she bad-mouthed your big brother Li, made a non-person out of him, and praised her husband as though he were a prize bloom. Just outside the door, your big brother Li and I listened to all this, then he was so angry his nose almost went crooked, and afterward, we threw her out! Never again will she be allowed in our door!” Zhang Guifang laughed as she spoke, still unable to straighten up from amusement when she recalled the scene.

”Congratulations, Sister-in-law! Now you and big brother Li can live a good life together!” An Hao was also happy for her.

”Yes, you’ve suffered along with us these days!” Zhang Guifang felt somewhat apologetic, ”How should I say it? She was also a member of the Li Family, and we didn’t manage to restrain her properly!”

”No worries, they were all minor issues! As long as it’s in the past, everything is fine!” An Hao said with a smile, and after exchanging a few more words with Zhang Guifang, she didn’t have any other matters to discuss and went upstairs.

...............

An Hao had a few days of pleasant living; the eyesore who caused trouble had left, making her much happier.

When she was happy, Qin Jian was happy too!

The young couple, taking their moment, kept it up until midnight.

After going to the health clinic for several days in a row, An Hao finally had a day off. After their nightly exertions, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next morning, just as she wanted to sleep in, she was roused by a series of urgent ringing.

By the time she finally managed to open her eyes and sit up, Qin Jian had already answered the phone.

”Hello, who is it?” Qin Jian asked in a low voice.

”Staff Officer Qin, it’s me, Gu Shuangshuang.” Gu Shuangshuang was also keeping her voice low on the other end of the line.

”Are you looking for An Hao?” Qin Jian turned his head to check the bedroom, listened for a moment to the silence, and then said to Gu Shuangshuang, ”An Hao is still resting. If you have something to say, I can pass the message!”

”Staff Officer! Please tell An Hao that I’ll be arriving by train tomorrow afternoon. Please, could the two of you come and pick me up?”

”You’re coming over?”

”Yes, Tian Niu’s leave of absence for a family visit wasn’t approved, so how long has it been since we last saw each other?” Gu Shuangshuang spoke with a sense of grievance.

”Okay, An Hao and I will be there to pick you up on time tomorrow afternoon,” Qin Jian promised. ”Should we tell Tian Niu?”

”He’s out on maneuvers! He can’t come back just now; he told me to settle in at your place first, and he’ll come to get me after he returns.” Gu Shuangshuang spoke quickly.
