Chapter 190 The Stabilizing Force

Gu Yihan walked into the living room and casually placed her handbag on the shelf by the door.

Seeing Grandma Gu sitting alone with her back to the sofa, I was a little puzzled.

He sat down next to her and asked, "Grandma, is the little one asleep?"

Grandma Gu didn't even look up, and said softly, "Xiao Lu took him out for a walk."

After a two-second silence, she said, "Hao Hao's grandma is here."

Is Lu's mother here?

Gu Yihan stood up and walked into the courtyard. She looked around but didn't hear any noise.

The courtyard is only so big; it's impossible for her not to see it from inside the house.

He sat down next to Grandma Gu and asked, "Did you go out?"

Grandma Gu knew without asking that her granddaughter was referring to Lu's mother, and shook her head, saying, "Little Lu booked a room for her at the guesthouse."

Seeing her grandmother's state, Gu Yihan didn't even need to ask to guess what Lu's mother must have said.

He quickly took her arm and said seriously, "Grandma, don't take what others say to heart."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu finally raised her head, her eyes red and swollen: "Xiao Han, how about Grandma goes back to the Gu family..."

"Grandma," Gu Yihan interrupted her.

"Do you dislike your granddaughter anymore? Don't you want to help take care of Hao Hao?"

Grandma Gu quickly shook her head and hurriedly explained, "No, I'm too happy to dote on you two."

“Then please don’t mention going back,” Gu Yihan said seriously.

"But."

Gu Yihan held her hand tightly and said pitifully, "Grandma, please have pity on your granddaughter."

Grandma Gu chuckled at her granddaughter's funny expression.

Gu Yihan chatted with Grandma Gu for a while, then her head started to ache, so she leaned back on the sofa and let her mind wander.

"young married woman."

Lu Huailin carried her son home, and seeing the bicycle in the yard, she knew she was back.

Gu Yihan turned around and looked at Lu Huailin who walked into the living room, and said irritably, "Are you trying to call back a soul?"

"Now that Xiao Lu is back, we can start eating." Grandma Gu smiled and stood up to walk towards the kitchen.

Lu Huailin found his wife's indifferent attitude rather cute.

He walked over to her with his son in his arms and sat down beside her, smiling as he said, "Honey, as soon as I heard Mom was here, I immediately took leave to send her out of the family compound."

Gu Yihan glanced at him, then clapped her hands at the little one in his arms: "Do you miss Mommy?"

The little guy immediately stretched out his arms, wanting a hug.

Gu Yi quickly stood up, took the little guy from Lu Huailin's arms, and told him to say, "Call me Mommy."

“ma~”

"Yes," Gu Yihan replied happily.

Then he kissed the little guy on the cheek.

"Honey, give me a kiss too." After saying that, Lu Huailin brought his face close to hers.

Gu Yihan nudged his head and laughed, "Go to the kitchen and help Grandma."

"Honey, give me a kiss."

Gu Yihan saw that Lu Huailin stubbornly leaned his head closer again.

He said helplessly, "Hao Hao is watching you!"

Lu Huailin glanced at his son's clear, big eyes and immediately reached out to cover them.

"I can't see it anymore."

Gu Yihan almost burst out laughing when she saw Lu Huailin's actions.

She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Lu Huailin received a sweet kiss from his wife, stood up in a good mood, and hummed a song as he walked out of the living room.

Gu Yihan reached out and tapped the little one in her arms, laughing as she said, "You can't be like your dad, he's so childish."

The little one sat on her lap, excitedly shouting, "ba~ba~"

After Grandma Gu and Lu Huailin finished cleaning up the dining table.

Gu Yihan carried the little one to the dining table and sat down, looking at the spicy chicken, braised pork, and scrambled eggs on the table.

This will all take a lot of time. The little guy doesn't sleep much during the day anymore, and he looks quite tired.

She looked at her smiling grandmother and instructed her, "Grandma, you can cook dinner after I come back from now on, otherwise you'll be working too hard."

Grandma Gu waved her hand: "I'm not tired."

It's just cooking; in Gujia Village, you still have to work in the fields to earn work points.

Even when she's too tired to walk, she still has to cook. This is a kind of life she never dared to dream of before.

Lu Huailin sat down next to his wife, took his son from her arms, and ate while holding him.

Gu Yihan likes to gnaw on chicken wings and chicken feet, so Grandma Gu set some aside for her.

"By the way, did you give Mom the local food coupons?"

Lu Huailin chuckled as he watched his wife munching on a chicken foot.

He said, "I gave it to her. Grandma even set aside some food for me to take to Mom. Don't worry, honey, she won't go hungry."

Gu Yihan glanced at the lone chicken leg on the table and nodded.

"By the way, the textile factory is sending me on a business trip to the provincial capital next week."

Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin frowned: "Does your factory's accountant also need to travel on business?"

After Gu Yihan finished eating, she reached out and took the little one from Lu Huailin's arms, stood up and sat down on the sofa.

He said, "Accountants don't need to travel."

"When foreigners from the provincial capital visited the textile factory, the factory asked me to go with Secretary Jiang to broaden my horizons."

"Wife, I'll take you to the station on the day you leave," Lu Huailin said worriedly.

Gu Yihan replied perfunctorily, "Okay."

After dinner

Gu Yihan lay on her side on the bed and finally managed to coax the little one to sleep.

Just as I sat up, I saw Lu Huailin, who had finished washing up, walk into the bedroom.

"What are you planning to do about Mom's situation?"

"Solve what?" Lu Huailin was taken aback by his wife's sudden question.

Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin, seriously suspecting that he was pretending to be ignorant.

Didn't he know why Lu's mother came to Kunming?

Will she leave if I don't give her money?

Seeing that his wife was silent, Lu Huailin smiled and sat on the bed, pulling her into his arms: "Don't worry, Dad will arrange for someone to pick up Mom and take her back to Beijing."

Even if someone is arranged to pick them up immediately, there will still be time for them to travel by car. During this time, no one can stop Lu's mother from causing trouble at the family compound.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yihan changed the subject, saying, "I'll ask for a day off from the textile factory tomorrow and go to the city with Mom."

Lu Huailin chuckled softly, "No need. I took two days off as soon as I knew Mom was coming to the family compound."

Gu Yihan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Since Lu Huailin returned from his last mission, he has been extremely busy, leaving early and returning late every day.

Gu Yihan broke free from his embrace: "You have time?"

Lu Huailin laughed and said, "It won't make a difference if we stay in these two days."

"Oh right, Dad said we shouldn't give Mom any money."

Gu Yihan nodded. She didn't want to give it either. This money was given to the child by Lu's father, so how could she give it to Lu's mother for no reason?

He glanced at Lu Huailin and sighed, "Our family is so lucky to have Dad as our pillar of strength, otherwise you would definitely be a pitiful little thing."

It's not surprising that she thinks that way; it's mainly because Lu's mother's intelligence is driven by her emotions.

She favors whoever spends the most time with her.
