Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!

Chapter 173: You Have to Take Good Care of Our Parents the Next Two Years

“The heavens want me to perish!!”

Before she cut off the phone, Huo Yingcheng’s bitter cry was all she heard.

The tremble at the end of his statement seemed to signify the start of Huo Yingcheng’s sorrowful end.

Gu Qingjiu chuckled at his misfortune.

…

The Dayi City after New Year was still pretty bustling.

In the following few days, Gu Qingmo brought Gu Qingjiu around as they played around the city.

Because it was possible that she wouldn’t be able to leave camp for the next two years, Gu Qingjiu cherished this time which they had dearly.

Without her realizing, Gu Qingjiu almost forgot about the shadows that the Yu Family cast.

A week later, Gu Qingjiu was to return to the camp.

It was already dawn. With her luggage, she left the house with Gu Qingmo.

“You have to take good care of yourself there. If there’s anything troublesome, call Mom and she will visit you at the camp.”

Qi Yuefeng looked at Gu Qingjiu with watery eyes.

Her reluctance to let her go was evident in her eyes.

After all, their farewell could mean that Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t be back for two years.

Other than the three months she spent in the new recruits’ camp, Gu Qingjiu had never been away from home for such a long time.

Qi Yuefeng’s state made Gu Qingjiu sad as well. She held back the longing she felt in her heart as her eyes wavered slightly. “Mom, it’s okay. It’s just for two years. I will call you every week. If anything happens at home, you have to let me know as well.”

“I know, I know.”

Qi Yuefeng held back her tears as she nodded with difficulty.

“I think you should let Qingjiu go to the bus terminal as early as possible. If you really miss her, you can just visit her there every month.”

Gu Hong walked out with his hands behind him. Although his words were straightforward, Gu Qingjiu could tell from his eyes that he couldn’t bear for her to leave as well.

But as a father, he wouldn’t show his emotions as openly as Qi Yuefeng.

“I understand.”

Qi Yuefeng wiped her tears. Afraid that she would delay Gu Qingjiu further, she looked at Gu Qingmo and instructed, “Send your younger sister to the bus terminal. When she’s there, give us a call.”

Gu Qingmo nodded. “Mom, I know. Rest assured. Okay, I’ll bring her there then.”

In order to not make it harder for her to leave, Gu Qingjiu turned away resolutely.

Two years might not seem too long, but it seemed extremely distant.

Gu Qingmo drove Father Gu’s car to send Gu Qingjiu to the bus terminal.

It wasn’t convenient for him to talk when Qi Yuefeng was present, but now that there were only the two of them, Gu Qingmo spoke up.

“I really have no idea what you’re being so stubborn about that you have to enter the army. In those two years, who knows how many things can happen.”

Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and then bit on her lower lip. She said no words of response.

It was a relief when Gu Qingmo did not continue. He probably said his piece in the past already.

They soon arrived at the bus terminal and Gu Qingmo helped Gu Qingjiu with the luggage.

People were coming and going, and the bus terminal was bustling with activity and farewells.

Perhaps realizing that he wouldn’t be able to see Qingjiu for two years, Gu Qingmo finally softened. He couldn’t bear it as well. “Since you’ve made up your mind, you should train hard inside the camp. It’s just two years. During summer break, if my girlfriend comes back with me, I will bring her to see you.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded.

Under this situation, it seemed as if a million words wouldn’t suffice what she wanted to express and it simply became a single sentence of—

“Goodbye, brother. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of our parents for these two years.”
