Volume 1 Chapter 138: The Show-Off Mother Gu

When Sheng Wanyan saw this, she took two more pairs of socks for Gu's father.

Sheng Wanyan bought three sets of clothes for Gu Tingxiao. Gu Tingxiao didn't have many clothes, and he always had the same few sets.

As for Gu's mother, she planned to give her a watch.

At that time, Gu Tingxiao bought a sewing machine for his family, and he discussed with Grandma Sheng about buying a watch to subsidize the family.

"Mom, try this."

Sheng Wanyan picked up a latest model watch and asked Mother Gu to try it on to see if it looked good.

"No, this is too expensive, Mom can't have it."

When Mother Gu saw this, she quickly waved her hands to indicate that she didn't want it. The third son had just gotten married, and when he went to join the army, there would be a lot of things to spend money on.

I bought more than a dozen sets of clothes today and spent two hundred yuan.

If she were to buy a watch for herself, the third sister's dowry would probably be spent.

"Mom has a watch, just buy her a set of clothes."

Sheng Wanyan naturally would not listen to what Gu's mother said on the surface. She knew that Gu's mother was worried that she spent too much and would have difficulties when she joined the army.

"Mom, this looks good on you. It makes you look even better."

When Mother Gu heard her words, her eyes lit up. Which woman doesn't like to be praised?

"Really?"

"certainly."

Sheng Wanyan praised her without blushing, saying that Mother Gu had a really good temperament and what she said was from the heart.

With an exquisite piece of jewelry on her body, her temperament will be several levels higher.

"Then I'll buy it myself."

After saying this, Gu's mother was about to take out the money, but Sheng Wanyan quickly stopped her.

"Mom, I'll buy it for you with Tingxiao's money."

"Otherwise he'll always be thinking about the money."

When Mother Gu heard her words, she thought they made sense. After all, which man doesn't want to hide his own money?

So she had to cut off the third brother's way of hiding his private money and make him give up the idea.

In order to buy a watch for Gu's mother, Sheng Wanyan betrayed Gu Tingxiao's good image.

Gu Tingxiao, who was standing behind and hearing everything clearly, said: "..."

She is really his good wife...

"OK."

Mother Gu nodded in agreement promptly. There was nothing she didn't understand at her age. The third son's wife wanted to give her a watch.

Wanting to honor her as the mother-in-law was just an excuse for Gu Tingxiao.

In the end, the third brother is useless. I have never seen him buy a watch for his biological mother.

In the end, you still have to rely on your daughter-in-law.

Tool man Gu Tingxiao: "..."

The watch cost 150 yuan and also had overseas Chinese coupons. Gu's mother took off the watch she was wearing and replaced it with the one given by Sheng Wanyan.

"go home."

Mother Gu spoke in a domineering manner and handed all the things to the coolie Gu Tingxiao.

I looked at my wrist from time to time while walking, and I felt very happy.

It was the first time she received such an expensive gift from her daughter-in-law, and she must have worn it to work every day... to show off.

The three of them returned to the military compound with bags of all sizes. When acquaintances passing by saw Gu's mother, they stopped to say hello.

"Liang Hui, is this your third daughter-in-law?"

Gu's mother's real name is Wen Lianghui. A middle-aged woman walking in front stopped and greeted Gu's mother.

"Yes, this is my third daughter-in-law Yan'er."

Gu's mother began to introduce people in the military region to Sheng Wanyan so that she could get to know them better.

"Yan'er, this is Aunt Liang from next door."

Living next door to the Gu family is the Liang family. Old Mr. Liang and Grandpa Gu were old comrades-in-arms.

The Liang family is a family of old friends, and they always help each other when there are problems at home.

The most important thing is that Aunt Liang is the deputy director of the Education Bureau, so she will be the first to know any news related to national education in the future.

"Hello, Aunt Liang, I'm Sheng Wanyan."

Sheng Wanyan greeted her with a smile, and Aunt Liang was pleased to see that she was so polite.

The third son of the Gu family was not as blind as the fourth son when it came to marrying a wife.

"Okay, okay, your third daughter-in-law is really pretty and has a good temperament."

"Of course, I like this third daughter-in-law very much."

While talking, Gu's mother deliberately used the hand with the watch to adjust her hair.

Aunt Liang saw it at the first sight. It was the latest watch from the Overseas Chinese Store.

I saw it a few days ago, but I didn't want to buy it.

"Huh? Liang Hui, your watch is quite nice."

When Mother Gu heard this, she smiled embarrassedly, took Sheng Wanyan's hand and started to show off.

"Hey~ This is what Yan'er just bought for me."

"I told him no, but he refused to listen. Really..."

When Liang's mother heard this, she was extremely envious. Her daughters-in-law all grew up in a large compound, and none of them had ever bought such expensive gifts for themselves.

Look at the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She has been so filial to her mother-in-law since she got married.

"Then you will be blessed in the future."

"Yes, this child is very filial. She even bought three or four sets of clothes for the two elderly people in the family and my husband."

"I bought a lot of nutritional supplements, but I used my own money."

Mother Gu was so proud that she showed off her third daughter-in-law in every sentence.

"You have married a very good third daughter-in-law."

Liang's mother was very envious. She wondered why such a good daughter-in-law didn't come to her house.

None of my daughters-in-law are content for a moment.

So the children in this compound may not be as sensible as those from the city.

Apart from a few sighs in her heart, Liang's mother didn't have any other thoughts. After all, the Gu family was indeed better than her own family in every aspect.

This is something that cannot be envied. I have been neighbors with Gu's mother for so many years, and I am happy for her.

As the conversation went on, more and more people came, and I felt sad when I heard what Gu's mother said.

Especially since they are not on good terms with the Gu family, people from different gangs are even more unwilling to accept this.

The Huang family's daughter-in-law, who had always been at odds with the Gu family, started to find fault when she heard what Gu's mother said.

"This is only for my husband's family, why not buy something for my own family..."

"You won't forget your mother's family, will you?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Sheng Wanyan with disapproval. They heard that the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family came from the city.

Since you can't marry into a rich family, you will start to look down on your mother's family, right?

After all, there are many such things. There are many people in the circle who try to climb up the social ladder and look down on their natal family.

When Gu's mother heard what these people said, she didn't tolerate it.

"My third daughter-in-law even bought several sets of clothes and shoes for my grandparents and in-laws."

"There are several cans of these nutritional supplements. This child is so filial."

Gu's mother almost praised Sheng Wanyan to a certain level. When everyone heard that she took both her husband's and her own family into consideration, there was nothing left to say.

Huang's wife's face darkened instantly when she heard this. What's so great about this? It's as if every family has the same thing!

Mother Gu rolled her eyes gracefully. If the Huang family had such a good daughter-in-law, she would wash her hair upside down!

The Huang family's daughters-in-law are even more noisy than her fourth brother's family.

"Oh~ I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back to have lunch with my third daughter-in-law."

Gu's mother pulled Sheng Wanyan away from the gossip-filled place, urging Gu Tingxiao to walk faster as they walked.

"Hurry up, Third Brother, or your wife will be hungry."

"Um."
