"I'm not here to collect a debt. We're all family, and we should help each other!"

She continued to cough as she spoke.

That pitiful little appearance also reveals a bit of "deep understanding of righteousness".

By the way, the elders like this kind of daughter-in-law the most: she is sensible, treats her husband's family as one family, and does not argue with everyone for the sake of her own family.

"Although this Gu is a little weak, she is also a virtuous and sensible person."

"Yes, Zhao Guodong used to be so aloof. He left without a second thought. After returning to his hometown, he didn't seem to be very close to his parents. But he still 'acquiesced' to Gu's loaning so much money to the old house. I guess he was influenced by Gu."

"That's right! I also think that Zhao Guodong has become much softer after getting married!"

The basic requirement people have for a wife is to "support her husband and raise her children."

Although Gu was not particularly good at being a good wife, she did it.

At least after she entered the house, Zhao Guodong did not become estranged from the old house, but instead started to interact with it.

Zhao Qingyun: ...If you regard coming here to suck blood as an interaction between relatives, please do it as much as possible.

"Mother, please take care of yourself!"

Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, Zhao Qingyun did not ignore his mother's health.

He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand, and tried to pat Gu Qingcheng's back.

"Mother, take care of yourself~"

Zhao Qingsong followed suit, swinging his little fists and trying hard to massage his mother's back and waist.

The two children are not very old, but they are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Everyone's eyes swept across the fair and handsome faces of the two brothers Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong, and they sighed in their hearts for the nth time: These two children are so good-looking, they don't look like country people at all.

Pretty, smart, and so sensible!

Oh my, this Gu, she even teaches her children so well, she is indeed worthy of being called a "good wife and mother".

Inexplicably, Gu, the useless daughter-in-law who was once criticized by the villagers, has become a good wife and mother in the eyes of everyone.

Even the head of the Zhao clan nodded repeatedly at Gu Qingcheng.

if--

Patriarch Zhao suddenly thought of something, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng spoke again, "My husband is gone, leaving us alone as orphans and a widow."

"Others have advised me to remarry, but I don't want to!"

"First, I can't bear to leave my husband, and second, I can't bear to leave my child. Third, I know my parents-in-law, uncles, and sisters-in-law will help us!"

A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.

At this point, Gu Qingcheng smiled weakly, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, we are all family, right?"

Zhao Dashan & Old Lady Zhao: ...

Even though the old couple were both excellent people, they never regarded Zhao Guodong's family as their own family.

However, facing Gu's clear and trusting eyes, they couldn't say a bad word.

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Dashan responded with a chuckle, "Yes!"

"I knew you wouldn't ignore us!"

Gu Qingcheng smiled again, innocently and purely.

Everyone: ...She smiled so beautifully, they couldn’t bear to tell her: Zhao Dashan and his family are trying to trick you!

"I lent you money because we are family!"

"Now that my husband is gone, it's not easy for us orphans and widows. I believe you will treat us as family and take care of us! Is that right?"

Gu Qingcheng continued speaking.

Her meaning was very clear. She was not here to collect debts, but to renew her family ties with the "family members" of the old house.

Everyone in the Zhao family seemed to understand the implication of Gu Qingcheng's words and breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope you're not here to ask for money.

It is said that when they first went to Zhao Guodong's house to suck blood, they just wanted to try their luck.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu was so easy to coax. As long as I put on a smile, cried poor or squeezed out a few tears, she would give me money.

I had no idea how much I had borrowed at the time, so I just spent all the money I had "borrowed".

Just now, after listening to Gu's calculation of the accounts one by one, everyone was shocked: Oh my god, I actually borrowed so much money.

Everyone in the Zhao family's old house had a share, and the total debt was over one hundred taels.

It was distributed to Zhao Dashan and his wife, Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Si and other families, and each family received more than 20 taels.

More than twenty taels. Even if they were sold individually, they wouldn't be worth that much.

Now that Gu is a new widow, Patriarch Zhao still values ​​that little boy Zhao Qingyun very much.

Patriarch Zhao will definitely stand on the side of Gu's mother and son.

If Gu cried and made a fuss and insisted that the people in the old house pay back the money, Patriarch Zhao would definitely support her.

What will they use to pay back then?

Fortunately, Mrs. Gu was a fool and actually believed the nonsense they told her.

"Haha, yes! We are family!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely help you!"

"Yeah, yeah! Haha, yeah, we're a family!"

Zhao Da and others expressed their opinions one after another, with smiles on their faces, but in their hearts they all felt that they had taken advantage and cursed Gu as a fool!
