Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1725: Everyone Knows 2

As soon as Shen Xiufen thought of the untouchable Feng Qingxue, she saw her. Feng Qingxue was in line ahead with a big-eyed, bushy-browed boy of about seven or eight, with only two or three people between them and the butcher’s counter.

It’s her again!

Shen Xiufen’s eyes turned slightly red, daring to be jealous but not to speak up.

Although Feng Qingxue had only been around for half a year, everyone in the area around the dry goods factory knew she was generous, often sending large packages of seafood, and whenever she wasn’t out to sea, she would come to the factory every day to buy meat and fish, not batting an eye. They couldn’t understand how such a slender woman had such a big appetite.

Very soon, it was Feng Qingxue’s turn. Master Li greeted her with her exceptionally fair and delicate face, "Doctor Feng, you just bought over two pounds of meat yesterday, and you’re here again today? I’ve calculated, you shouldn’t have any more Meat Tickets this month."

Feng Qingxue patted Erxiong on the head, stopping him from speaking, and cheerfully looked at the pork on the counter, "I don’t have any, but the Gu Family does. Gu Commander’s family has three pounds, and Doctor Gu has two pounds, so five pounds of Meat Tickets in total. Please, Master Li, cut five pounds of first-grade meat for us, half lean, half fat. Sister-in-law Gu wants to make stewed pork."

Stewed pork is Dongpo pork—it’s about discarding old customs, so it can’t be called Dongpo pork anymore.

While cutting and weighing the meat, Master Li asked, "It’s hot, are you going to eat it all in one meal? Do you have guests coming over?"

"Not guests, it’s Doctor Gu’s biological son who has come back. Doctor Gu is so happy and asked us to buy extra meat while he went to buy chicken and fish himself; we’re splitting the chores." Of course, Feng Qingxue would help Doctor Gu spread the word.

Master Li and the others in line were all taken aback, "Doctor Gu has only one son, isn’t he Gu Qing, Captain Gu?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "Although Doctor Gu had raised Captain Gu for almost forty years, she just found out yesterday that Captain Gu is not her biological son. She raised someone else’s child for forty years. Her real son is someone else—the tall, thin man who came to find her yesterday. He is also a retired soldier named Shi Guantao and will soon be renamed Gu Guantao."

These words caused a huge uproar at the meat counter. Shen Xiufen’s face turned as white as paper, suddenly recalling how strangely Gu Qing had acted when he returned last night, and she hadn’t seen him in the morning to ask about it.

The young woman in line behind Shen Xiufen glanced at her with a smirk, "Sister-in-law Xiufen, Captain Gu isn’t Doctor Gu’s biological son?"

Shen Xiufen snapped harshly, "Nonsense! Don’t believe every rumor you hear! Just because some rural nobody claims to be part of the Gu Family doesn’t mean it’s true. Where’s your brain? Can’t you think for yourselves? If Gu Qing wasn’t the Gu Family’s child, would they have raised him for forty years? When we married and had children, the Gu Family was all there!"

"That might not be the case!" A middle-aged woman in line ahead of Shen Xiufen turned slightly, pointing to the tall, thin man supporting Doctor Gu at a distance, "If there wasn’t a relationship, would Doctor Gu be so friendly? Look how much that man resembles Commander Gu."

A boy who had joined the queue behind the young woman added, "I just ran into Grandma Gu at the fish market. She was introducing him as her real son to Auntie Lei and Aunt Liu, saying his name is Shi something Tao, and she was showing him to everyone so they would know him next time he comes out."
