Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 19: An Encounter with Wen Zhqing

Yao Chunhua was pleased with her daughter’s sensibility. Since being rescued from jumping into the river last time, her daughter had truly changed a lot.

But how could a person change so much overnight? Yao Chunhua vaguely felt that her daughter must have suffered greatly in places she couldn’t see. Thinking about it made her heart both relieved and hurting.

"Okay, I’ll thank you on behalf of your second sister-in-law first."

Gu Jia Ning shook her head, feeling it was nothing. When she was pulled from the river, her second brother immediately slaughtered the old hen meant for the second sister-in-law’s postpartum recovery to make soup, and the second sister-in-law had no objections, exchanging favor for favor.

After her rebirth, Gu Jia understood one truth: whoever treats her well, she’ll treat them well; whoever treats her poorly, she won’t be polite.

When Gu Jia Ning went to the old house, Yao Chunhua took two cans of milk powder to her daughter-in-law’s room.

Since she was still in postpartum confinement, Su Miao couldn’t go help today but kept her ears open for the lively sounds outside.

Upon hearing her husband mention the betrothal gifts sent by Officer Sheng, Su Miao couldn’t help but sigh, her sister-in-law had such good fortune.

Of course, envy is just envy. Su Miao felt that marrying into the Gu Family and marrying Gu Yunan was also quite good.

Looking at her son Zhuangzhuang lying beside her, her expression softened even more.

At this moment, a noise came from outside, and she saw her mother-in-law coming in, carrying something, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two cans of milk powder.

After her mother-in-law put down the milk powder and explained the purpose, Su Miao quickly said, "Mother, no, this is Officer Sheng’s betrothal gift for my little sister-in-law, how can I take it?"

Milk powder is extremely precious and hard to buy even in the city.

Although she knew that drinking milk powder would surely make her son grow better, Su Miao felt she shouldn’t be greedy—it’s her sister-in-law’s stuff.

"This was specifically given to you by Ningning, and you’re not the only one, others have different things. This is Ningning’s sentiment as an aunt toward her nephew, just take it."

Yao Chunhua’s insistence was undeniable, and Su Miao didn’t expect it was specifically given by her sister-in-law, her eyes couldn’t help but warm with emotion.

"No need to say thanks, remember it in your heart, but don’t cry, crying during postpartum confinement can damage your eyes."

Su Miao quickly composed herself; she wasn’t crying, she was happy.

Yao Chunhua still had to prepare lunch, so she didn’t stay long.

When Gu Yunan came in, the red in Su Miao’s eyes hadn’t completely faded, and upon seeing the two cans of milk powder on the table, a query revealed the reason.

"Since mom said it’s from Ningning, take it, with these two cans of milk powder, our Zhuangzhuang can grow even better."

"Recently, I’ll have more time to go up the mountain and try to hunt more items."

"Alright."

Gu Yunan sighed; outsiders claim the Gu Family spoils Gu Jia Ning too much, but actually, they are not blind, the pampering had its reasons.

Since childhood, anything good Ningning had would be shared with her three brothers.

Sometimes when they made mistakes and faced punishment, Ningning would stand up for them.

Even though Ningning was a bit demanding, it was actually just because she was a bit delicate; they were willing to spoil their delicate little sister.

It was after encountering Wen Zhiqing that Ningning started to change.

But they felt Ningning was bewitched by Wen Zhiqing.

Now, after jumping into the river, Ningning no longer liked Wen Zhiqing and seemed to revert to her previous demeanor.

Gu Yunan felt that this was quite good.

Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning stepped out and walked on the road to the old house when suddenly someone emerged.

"Comrade Ningning."

Gu Jia Ning looked at the elegant man in a white shirt and black pants in front of her, and for a moment felt like she was in a different lifetime.

It had been several days since her rebirth; this was her first time seeing Wen Zhqing in this life.

Indeed, the person in front of her was Wen Zhqing.

Gu Jia Ning pursed her lips and observed him, lowering her eyes, a flash of intense hatred passed through her eyes, and she slightly tensed her hand beneath her sleeve.

Soon, she lifted her head again, returning to her usual naive demeanor, blinking her eyes, "Oh, it’s you, Wen Zhiqing."

From the moment he saw Gu Jia Ning, Wen Zhqing hadn’t stopped subtly observing her, looking at the bright-eyed girl, he noticed that Gu Jia Ning seemed even prettier than before.

To be honest, Wen Zhqing was a man, and Gu Jia Ning’s beauty, even in the Hucheng he previously lived in, was hard to match.

So, regarding Gu Jia Ning’s beauty and figure, he was indeed moved.

Yet he also knew well that being a Hucheng native with future dreams meant he could not marry a village girl without a background.

However, now he was sent to the countryside, thinking about the family situation and the current circumstances, he didn’t know when he’d be able to return to the city.

But, even if he was sent to the countryside, he could still plan things for himself.

As long as his life got a bit better.

Wen Zhqing was aware of his good looks and gentle character.

Since arriving in the countryside, many girls showed him favor, among them, Gu Jia Ning was his favorite, after all, her father was the village head, her three brothers were competent, Gu Jia Ning herself was beautiful and innocent, and her family spoiled her.

If he could woo Gu Jia Ning thoroughly, she could surely bring him many benefits.

With this thought, he acted accordingly.

Half a year passed smoothly, and he was sure Gu Jia Ning’s heart was entirely dedicated to him.

Recently, when the Eldest Gu got a chance at the steel factory, he knew his opportunity had come.

With a few words, he convinced Gu Jia Ning to willingly pursue the job for him.

Gu Jia Ning jumped into the river over the job situation; Wen Zhqing didn’t expect it but wasn’t surprised.

Initially, he thought after the river incident, the Gu Family would compromise, and he would soon get the job and no longer have to work the land.

Unexpectedly, he was put in a sack and beaten twice right after, and for a few days, he could only lie in bed.

Meanwhile, rumors about Gu Jia Ning meeting and matching with a military officer emerged one after the other.

Planning to visit Gu Jia Ning once he recovered more, but hearing today’s news about the officer bringing family to discuss betrothal made Wen Zhqing restless. He forced himself out and sought a chance to meet Gu Jia Ning, surprisingly running into her.

Gu Jia Ning appeared the same as before, but for some reason, Wen Zhqing couldn’t help but feel she had changed.

Unable to pinpoint the reason temporarily, Wen Zhqing’s face wore its habitual gentle smile, one that had taken days to diminish the swelling, his peach blossom eyes seemed to express tenderness and grievance, "Comrade Ningning, I heard you got engaged today?"

...

After sending his grandparents back to the hotel, Sheng Zexi remembered he forgot to discuss with Gu Jia Ning about when to take wedding photos and get the marriage certificate, so he drove back.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jia Ning wasn’t at the Gu Family’s house but had gone to the old house; Sheng Zexi knew where the old house was and walked there.

Not far away, two old women approached, talking, their voices reaching him.

"Hey, didn’t Gu Family’s girl get engaged to a military officer today?"

"Yes, it’s bustling at Gu Family’s house today, and that officer deserves the reputation of being from Beijing; the betrothal gifts were lavish."

"Do you think Gu Jia Ning really doesn’t like Wen Zhiqing anymore?"

"Should be."

"Then why did I just see Gu Jia Ning meet with Wen Zhiqing?"
