Chapter 38 You just insulted me with your eyes.

Looking at Cai Chunhua's smiling face, Gu's mother nodded slightly: "Yes, our whole family came together. Is there something you need?"

Cai Chunhua seemed oblivious to Gu's mother's coldness, still smiling: "Sister-in-law Gu, your daughter hasn't said anything about him yet, has she?"

When Gu's mother heard her mention her daughter directly, her face suddenly darkened: "What do you want to do?"

Seeing the undisguised annoyance on her face, Cai Chunhua's smile faltered, but for the sake of her son's wife and the Gu family's money, she still forced a smile: "Sister-in-law Gu, this girl is growing up, and people will always be talking about other people. It just so happens that my son hasn't found a girlfriend yet, so how about..."

"I'm sorry, my daughter isn't planning on finding a boyfriend right now, so please don't bring this up again."

Mother Gu didn't even bother to let her finish speaking before directly rejecting her.

Seeing that she turned away and didn't want to talk to her anymore, Cai Chunhua finally couldn't hide the resentment on her face: "Sister-in-law Gu, it's only natural for men to marry and women to marry when they're of age. It's not good for you to keep your daughter from getting married! Our Tong family is a big family in the village, and my Xiaojun is the village secretary's nephew. You should really think about it!"

Cai Chunhua had a pretty good idea of ​​what Gu's mother was thinking; she simply didn't want to marry into the rural families.

They've already come to the countryside, do they still think they're from the city?

Look at those educated youth who were sent to the countryside before. When they first came, they all looked down on each other and didn't want to have much contact with the rural people.

Now that time has passed, they've all become honest and law-abiding citizens, and their lives are even worse than those of the villagers!

Gu's father, who had initially wanted to ignore Cai Chunhua, heard her words and realized she was clearly threatening his daughter-in-law.

He sneered and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you threatening us to marry our daughter to you?"

"Does it mean that just because our family is responding to the country's call to build up the countryside, we're going to offer our daughter to you as a wife? Or is it that your son is the village secretary's nephew, making you superior to others?"

"In that case, Yulan, let's go and find the village secretary to ask if we have to send our daughters out to Bakushu Village as well!"

As he spoke, Mr. Gu pulled Mrs. Gu along, heading to find Tong Liqun.

Cai Chunhua was stunned. These words were spoken in haste. She had only used the village party secretary as a pretext to scare the educated youth from outside the village.

Why did they go directly to confront the village party secretary?

She said that Tong Liqun was her son Xiaojun's uncle, but in the end, he was just a clan uncle from a prominent family.

If we're really talking about blood relations, we'd have to go back countless generations.

"Hey, Gu Zhiqing, Sister-in-law Gu, I was just asking you. If you don't want to, that's fine. Why did you have to take it all to the village secretary?"

Cai Chunhua dared not bother Gu's parents any longer, and turned back to her assigned task site to continue harvesting wheat.

But in her heart, she already harbored resentment towards Gu's father and mother.

She's just a sent-down youth, yet she dares to be so disrespectful to her.

She wouldn't have allowed their daughter into her house if it weren't for the fact that her family was wealthy.

Now that she's offended her, once Gu Yanfei marries her son Xiaojun, she'll definitely make things difficult for this daughter-in-law to vent her anger.

On the other side, a man looked at the humiliated Cai Chunhua, sneered, and cursed under his breath, "Idiot!"

The Gu family doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. Since they dared to rent a house and dig a well on their very first day in the countryside, they are clearly not easy to deal with.

If you want to marry someone's daughter, you definitely can't do it through ordinary methods.

unless……

Gu Yanfei had no idea that she was being watched on her very first day of work.

On the way back, she said to Gu Yanxiao with a touch of emotion, "Brother, are you feeling alright? Are you tired?"

Gu Yanxiao looked at her with some puzzlement: "Why do you ask that?"

His recent performance hasn't been that bad, has it?

Why are they all doubting his health?

"I was just thinking that my parents insisted we come back to cook together, so they could find an excuse for us to rest."

Gu Yanfei, looking as if she had seen through everything, spoke up.

Gu Yanxiao paused for a moment, then looked at her as if she were an idiot, and said, "In the future, if you have nothing to do, chat with your sister-in-law more often! If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your sister-in-law!"

There are some things that he, as the eldest brother, can't say to Gu Yanfei, that silly girl; he can only trouble his wife with them.

"..." Gu Yanfei blinked her clear, foolish eyes, her face full of confusion.

Why did she always feel that her older brother was mocking her, yet she had no evidence?

The brother and sister had barely stepped outside their house when they saw wisps of smoke rising from the rooftop.

"Has your sister-in-law already cooked?"

Seeing this, Gu Yanfei quickly took a few steps and knocked on the door.

Gu Yanxiao raised his voice and called out into the courtyard, "Xiang Wan, it's us."

Not long after he finished speaking, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside.

Su Xiangwan looked at them with some confusion: "Why are you back so early? Where are Mom and Dad?"

"Mom and Dad told my older brother and me to come back and cook first," Gu Yanfei replied with a smile, then added, not forgetting to complain, "Sister-in-law, my brother just called me stupid!"

Gu Yanxiao asked, puzzled, "When did I call you stupid?"

"Don't think I'm stupid. I can't tell that you just insulted me with your eyes!"

Gu Yanfei snorted coldly. Did they really think she was stupid? Couldn't she see the disdain in her older brother's eyes?

Gu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow: "Not bad, you've improved. You can actually read people's expressions now!"

Gu Yanfei pouted and looked at Su Xiangwan with a wronged expression: "Sister-in-law, my brother bullied me!"

Su Xiangwan chuckled and took her arm, walking towards the kitchen: "Ignore her, let's go."

"My sister-in-law still loves me the most." Gu Yanfei gave her older brother a victorious look. So what if he bullies me? His wife is on my side.

"Childish." Gu Yanxiao curled her lips coldly. So what if you're on my side? Just sleep next to me.

Seeing that Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei, the two sisters-in-law, went into the kitchen to talk, Gu Yanxiao did not go into the kitchen anymore, but instead started chopping firewood in the yard.

Gu Yanfei looked at the vegetables that had already been washed and chopped in the kitchen and was somewhat surprised: "Sister-in-law, you prepared the vegetables so early!"

"Yes, I had nothing to do at home anyway, so I just took my time doing it to pass the time."

Su Xiangwan had actually guessed that Gu's parents might send someone back to cook, so she took out some dishes from her space in advance to prepare.

That way, even if they come back, they won't notice anything wrong.

After all, he had deliberately bought a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative to cover his tracks.

Speaking of which, the package they sent from the capital should arrive soon.

When I go to pick up the package, I'll take some things out of my spatial storage to check things out properly.
