Hearing this, the old couple looked at each other.
âYoung man, what do you do?â
âi am a soldier,â Zuo Huo said.
The old couple frowned. Yu Yong was a soldier. It wasnât easy for her daughter to jump out of the fire pit of Yu Yongâs family. If the person she married for the second time wasnât as good as the first, she might as well take the child and live by herself.
Anyway, her daughter did not lack money. When she raised Baby Xuan in the future, she would still enjoy life with him!
Guessing that the old couple would compare him to Yu Yong, Zuo Huo paused and continued, âUncle, Iâve already retired from the army. Iâm currently working at the Tobacco Bureau.â
He had already retired from the army for more than a month, but perhaps because he had been too serious in the army in the past, those soldiers were still so nervous that they could not speak when they saw him.
âA job at the Tobacco Bureau? Then you should be able to earn a lot of money a month, right?â Gu Li asked with a frown.
âYes, a monthâs salary and bonus is indeed not a small sum. I still have a two-bedroom house and a car in the capital. My parents also live in the capital, but they rarely care about me and we usually donât live together.â
Zuo Huoâs words made the old couple very satisfied. It was one thing for the Tobacco Bureau to work, but it was actually a household registration in the capital!
He had a house and a car, but he didnât live with his parents. Such a reliable and capable man who didnât have to worry about conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldnât be found! Gu Li began to wonder why Zuo Huo had taken a fancy to Song Yao.
âThat⦠young manâ¦â
âMy name is Zuo Huo,â he said calmly.
âZuo Huo, stop working and come in for tea! Thereâs no reason for you
to work!â Gu Li said and wanted to drag Zuo Huo in.
Zuo Huo could not refuse her kindness, but in the end, he was still dragged in by Gu Li.
âQuick, try my home-cooked food! Yao likes it very much!â
Zuo Huo picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He had to admit that his future mother-in-lawâs culinary skills were really good. No wonder Song Yao liked to eat it.
Gu Li sat opposite Zuo Huo. âYou know about our Yao, right? She was divorced once before and even had a child. If you donât mindâ¦â
âI donât care about that. All I care about is Song Yao. Even if she doesnât want to marry me, Iâm willing to marry her.â
Zuo Huoâs words made Gu Li feel comfortable. She smiled and said, âIf our Yao had a husband like you, I would be much more at ease! Otherwise, as her mother, I wonât feel good when I see her waking up early and going into the dark all day to earn money.â
After Gu Li finished speaking, she grabbed Zuo Huoâs hand and said, âI think youâre not bad! If the two of youâ¦â
âMom!â Song Yao came out of the house in her pajamas. âWhat are you two talking about?â
âItâs nothing!â Gu Li smiled and went up to him. She found Zuo Huo, her future son-in-law, pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him. Her Yao had suffered for so long. It was finally over!
Song Yao sat in front of Gu Li. âMom, Captain Zuo and I are not what you think.â
âWhat do you mean?â Gu Li was completely stunned. Captain Zuo wasnât Song Yaoâs boyfriend? Then why had she said so much to him just now?
Song Yao said, âCaptain Zuo is just hereâ¦â
âIâm here to help at home!â Zuo Huo interrupted Song Yao. âAnd just because itâs not now doesnât mean it wonât be in the future!â
He cast a burning gaze at Song Yao. âWho can say for sure what will happen in the future?â
âYou donât have that kind of relationship with Yao now?â Gu Li was dumbfounded. She never expected that Zuo Huo would take the initiative to woo her daughter!
She immediately pulled Song Yao aside. âDid he woo you?â
Song Yao didnât deny it.
Gu Li was even more excited. âThen why donât you try being with him? If such a good man is snatched away by others in the future, youâll regret it!â
âI think if he really gets together with me, heâll regret it!â Song Yao sighed. âHeâs so outstanding. Why would he like someone like me whoâs divorced and still has a child?â
âI donât think so! Youâre beautiful and know how to earn money. Your personality is good. Yu Yong doesnât like you because he doesnât have good taste!â
After Gu Li finished speaking, she leaned close to Song Yaoâs ear and said, âAnd I donât think heâs the kind of person who will easily abandon a relationship. You can spend some time with him.â
In any case, it was normal for young people to fall in love and break up these days!
Song Yao looked at Zuo Huo in the living room and gritted her teeth.. Should she try spending some time with him?
