Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Don’t Touch Her

”The money was given to them by me willingly,” Duan Aihua said.

”Them? Don’t tell me Shuangshuang went as well?” Li Youjun was very puzzled.

”Yes, I was just about to ask about that,” Duan Aihua finished, turning her gaze to Li Zhi, ”Where is Gu Shuangshuang? Didn’t she go with you? Why have you returned alone? Where is she?”

”She...” Li Zhi stuttered for a long time without being able to say it.

But judging by his expression, Duan Aihua had already understood seventy to eighty percent of the situation.

”Did she go to find Tian Niu?”

”No, she didn’t.”

”Tell the truth, Li Zhi!” Li Youjun patted his son’s shoulder, ”You’re not helping Shuangshuang by doing this! Leaving her alone in that place is very dangerous.”

It seemed there was no point in hiding it anymore, so Li Zhi simply told the whole truth.

”Auntie Duan, she indeed went to find Tian Niu! I can understand how you feel, but now I understand Gu Shuangshuang’s feelings even more. She loves Captain Tian. Why don’t you just let her be?”

”What about you? Have you already let go of Shuangshuang in your heart?” Duan Aihua asked.

”Yes, I have let go of her. In my heart, I see her as a sister.” I hope she can have happiness.

”With Tian Niu’s family background, he simply cannot bring Gu Shuangshuang happiness.” The air of poverty brings a hundred woes to a couple, and Gu Shuangshuang is still young, she has yet to understand the importance of money.

That’s why she’s made such a capricious choice.

As her mother, Duan Aihua could not just stand by and do nothing.

”But they are truly in love,” Li Zhi unknowingly kept speaking for Shuangshuang.

”True love can’t be eaten as food.”

Duan Aihua had previously agreed to let Gu Shuangshuang date Tian Niu, but she was pressurized by Gu Shuangshuang.

In her heart, Tian Niu was not the right person to be her son-in-law.

He was much older than Gu Shuangshuang and was also in a different military region.

His position wasn’t high-ranking, nor was his salary substantial. There were quite a few siblings at home, all of whom depended on his modest income. If Gu Shuangshuang were to marry him, she would basically be resigning herself to a life of hardship.

”Give me the phone number for his military unit.”

Li Zhi felt troubled, as he had promised to keep Shuangshuang’s secret.

”Give it to Auntie Duan,” Li Youjun said to his son.

With no other choice, he finally gave the phone number to Duan Aihua.

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

Right after Tian Niu had finished speaking with his soldiers, a signalman ran up to him and said, ”Captain Tian, you have a phone call.”

”Where is it from?” Tian Niu picked up his clothes and walked back.

”From another military region. The person said her name is Duan Aihua. Once you hear it, you’ll know.”

The moment Tian Niu heard it was a call from his prospective mother-in-law, he did not dare to delay; he sprinted back to answer the phone.

”Auntie, this is Tian Niu.”

”Gu Shuangshuang is there with you, right?” Duan Aihua asked directly.

”Yes, but you can relax, she’s fine with me, no need to worry,” Tian Niu said in a firm voice.

”It’s precisely because you’re there that I can’t be at ease,” Duan Aihua warned Tian Niu sternly, ”As long as she is staying with you, you are not allowed to touch her.”

”You can rest assured, Auntie, I know my limits. Until we are married, I absolutely will not touch Shuangshuang,” Tian Niu promised, thumping his chest.

”It seems you’re still harboring such fantasies about marriage,” Duan Aihua scoffed, setting out two demands for Tian Niu, ”I have never planned on letting you and Shuangshuang get married. But if you two are adamant about getting married, you can. Prepare a dowry of five thousand yuan, or get promoted to regiment leader within two years. Choose one of these two options. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to marry Gu
