Chapter 270: Chapter 270 True or False First Love 70_1

Zhou Lina was unaware that someone was scheming against her. In her mind, the Zhou Family had already been troubled enough, and she thought there was no way anyone would continue to target her.

With the spare keys Gu Wei had given her, Zhou Lina went to take some keys from her house when she heard someone knocking at the door, which surprised her a little.

Although Gu Wei knew many people, the ones who usually came to her house were essentially Zhang Shifen and her two daughters.

As for the neighbors around, they usually went directly to the hospital if they needed her, so could it be that something happened?

Zhou Lina picked up the documents she had found, opened the door, and saw a young man under one meter eighty standing outside.

Observing his dark skin, he was clearly a healthy young man. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Zhou Lina noticed that the person also seemed a bit surprised on seeing her.

Gu Kai, upon not seeing Gu Wei coming out, panicked a bit inside, worrying that something might have happened to his aunt.

Even in the years when things were at their craziest, they had never implicated his little aunt. Although those people have settled down now, the more they did, the more vigilant he had to be.

"Hello, I am looking for Doctor Gu, Gu Wei."

It really was someone looking for Aunt Gu. Zhou Lina stared at the man for a long time, not knowing why, but feeling that he seemed very familiar.

"Are you related to Doctor Gu?" Although he appeared quite similar to Gu Wei, that alone didn’t prove they were relatives.

In all the time Gu Wei had been working here, apart from knowing that her husband had died in the line of duty and was considered a martyr, they really didn’t know much about her other circumstances.

Including over the years, besides the occasional letters exchanged, there was basically no contact at all.

Many speculated about Gu Wei, for instance, speculating how she might have severed ties with her in-laws and her own family.

Zhou Lina also felt this guess wasn’t unreasonable; regardless of what had happened, it was impossible that there was no contact at all.

Unless Gu Wei’s actions had offended her family at some point and her in-laws were also displeased; otherwise, this wouldn’t be the case.

"Hello, Gu Wei is my aunt, my direct aunt," said Gu Kai in a low voice.

What? Was he actually Gu Wei’s nephew? Zhou Lina was surprised, "You, you, wait a moment."

Gu Wei had never mentioned anything about the family’s situation at home, and Zhou Lina didn’t know how Gu Wei would feel knowing a relative had visited.

Zhou Lina couldn’t make a decision, "Well, I’ll go ask Aunt Gu."

"May I come with you?" Even the letters he received said she was doing well over here.

But who could truly rest easy? Even if the lingering effects of his uncle’s heroism protected his aunt, if things escalated, they wouldn’t know how to control the situation in the end.

Zhou Lina responded with an "Oh," "Of course you can." This way, it would save her the trouble of bringing him back.

And so, Zhou Lina brought an unfamiliar young man straight to the staff hospital in the family residential area.

Though she knew that doing this would get many people’s attention, even if only one person saw them, it would become a hot topic of conversation. Better to just face it openly.

Everybody who saw Zhou Lina walking with an unfamiliar boy in the family residential area was quite curious.

Despite Zhou Yong calling Zhou Lina just a drag and saying no one would fancy her, in fact, many people were quite satisfied with Zhou Lina; she had a job and a house.

The only problem was her temper, always getting into this and that, and many families really couldn’t endure the consequences of that.

With many children in the house, of course, not every aspect could be attended to, leading inevitably to disputes. How to deal with turning the whole house upside down?

Everyone was very curious about who Zhou Lina would end up marrying, and some even thought that Zhou Lina might not get married at all. Instead, she might find a man willing to join her family as a live-in son-in-law.

Yes, a live-in son-in-law. Some people had heard Zhou Lina put forward some requirements, all pertaining to what she expected from a son-in-law.

Of course, the scariest part wasn’t just that a boy would have to marry into her family, but also that he would have to live with Zhang Shifen and Zhou Xuan.

After so many conditions were laid out, even if Zhou Lina was a catch, no one would introduce a suitor to her. Everyone felt that Zhou Lina might just end up alone.

"This is Aunt Gu’s nephew." Zhou Lina briefly explained.

Gu Wei’s nephew? This news stunned everyone even more. No matter who heard it, they wore a face of disbelief.

After all, in their memory, Gu Wei had come here alone, and in all these years, they hadn’t seen any of her relatives.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Wei’s nephew had arrived. "If you look closely, he does resemble Doctor Gu quite a bit."

"Yes, but how come the young man is so dark-skinned?"

Zhou Lina didn’t have time to pay attention to their discussions as she led him to Gu Wei’s office.

Gu Wei had just returned from making rounds in the ward and saw a somewhat familiar face. "Xiao Kai?"

Gu Kai was still wondering whether his aunt would recognize him after all these years of change.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wei recognized him at first sight. "Auntie, it’s me."

It really was Gu Wei’s nephew. Zhou Lina also breathed a sigh of relief, placing some items on Gu Wei’s desk, "Aunt Gu, here are your things."

"Xiao Na, do you plan to head back, or...?" Although it was her day off, Gu Wei knew Zhou Lina sometimes worked overtime.

Especially now, at the end of the year, many departments were busy, including the finance department.

"I have an overtime meeting at the office." Her place was cold when working overtime, but the finance department would light two stoves in winter, providing plenty of hot water to drink and warming up the room.

Gu Wei responded with an "Oh," then said, "Actually, Xiao Kai and I will go to your place for dinner tonight."

Gu Wei wasn’t skilled at cooking, and her nephew had come all this way. They couldn’t just eat in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was fine for filling one’s stomach, but the food wasn’t tasty.

"Okay." Zhou Lina readily agreed. "It just so happens that we have some meat at home; I’ll make braised pork."

If she worked overtime, she could go home early, which was also a good opportunity to improve the meal.

Today Zhou Lina was making braised pork, exciting Gu Wei who kept nodding, "That’s great, Xiao Kai, you’re in luck. Xiao Na’s braised pork is really delicious."

Zhou Lina knew Gu Wei must have something to discuss with Gu Kai, so she left the office.

After Zhou Lina left, Gu Wei asked in a low voice how Gu Kai came to be there.

Gu Kai explained his purpose quietly, and Gu Wei immediately became excited. "You mean, you’re going to work at the mechanical factory?"

Gu Wei swallowed hard, "You’re not lying to your aunt, are you?"

Gu Kai knew his family’s situation. Being a sent-down youth in the countryside was already not a bad outcome for the Gu Family, but now he had found an opportunity to work at the mechanical factory, which was great news.

"I’m not lying. Around the time of the summer harvest, several tractors in the commune broke down. I looked at them and it was an issue with the parts inside. The tractor factory didn’t have suitable parts, so I needed to modify the tractors a bit."

"So I came to the mechanical factory and made a few parts myself." Even though the paperwork was done, Gu Kai still felt a bit dizzy with it all.
