Gu Huaiming didn't respond to her words; he also felt that this aunt's sudden appearance at this critical juncture was a bit of a headache.

I wonder if Hanhan will be unhappy?

Gu Huaiming returned home with his entourage. Grandpa Gu and his cousin exchanged pleasantries, while Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman came out of the kitchen to greet the guests.

Xiaoya followed behind Gu Hong, secretly observing the Gu family members, her eyes constantly darting around.

This place is wonderful. There's even a telephone, and the furniture is all things she's never seen before. The house has two floors, and it's luxurious and beautiful.

It's more than a thousand times better than her hometown.

After seeing the furnishings in Grandpa Gu's house, she was dazzled by the wealth and no longer wanted to go back to her small hometown to suffer.

She wanted to stay, to become a city dweller, and to live in a house as grand as Grandpa Gu's.

Seeing Xiaoya following behind blankly, Gu Hong pulled her in front of Grandpa Gu.

"Cousin, this is my granddaughter Xiaoya. She came here this time because of her work and looking for a boyfriend."

I'll have to trouble you to put in some extra effort.

Grandpa Gu glanced at Xiaoya and didn't think much of her; she was far inferior to his granddaughter-in-law.

"I understand. I should get a response in the next few days."

Gu Hong arrived uninvited, and at the crucial time when Lin Han was in postpartum confinement, although Grandpa Gu couldn't directly kick her out, he tried his best to arrange Xiao Ya's job so that the grandfather and granddaughter could leave as soon as possible.

Grandma Jiang and Qin Shuman brought out the food, and the family sat down at the table.

Gu Hong asked in confusion, "Why don't I see my grandson and granddaughter-in-law?"

Grandma Jiang explained, "They ate upstairs, but I saved some food for myself and asked Huaiming to bring it up."

Gu Huaiming got up from his chair and went to the kitchen to fetch a plate of food, which he then brought to the young couple.

No one else in the Gu family had any objections.

Gu Hong was not happy about it.

"How can this be? Having a baby isn't a big deal. Why don't you even come downstairs to eat and have your elders bring it up for you?"

Sister-in-law, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can't spoil the younger generation like this. It doesn't do you any good. Be careful, or they might end up ruling the family."

Grandma Jiang frowned. When did it become Gu Hong's place to decide where her granddaughter-in-law wanted to eat?

"Cousin, you're in your postpartum period, so it's not good to go up and down the stairs. You've been through postpartum period yourself, and it's best for women who have just given birth to rest in bed as much as possible."

To avoid knee pain later.

Besides, Huaiming is happy to deliver them; it's not a hassle to provide three meals a day, so it's no problem.

Come on, let's eat.

Gu Hong, however, still did not intend to let go of this opportunity to speak at Old Master Gu's house.

"Who hasn't had a baby? Back then, we could go back to work in the fields the afternoon after giving birth in the morning. We weren't that delicate."

A new bride shouldn't be spoiled.

Grandma Jiang glared at Grandpa Gu, deciding not to give him any face.

“Cousin Gu Hong, back then no one cared about you. You didn’t have to do any of the farm work. It was just that your in-laws bullied you.”

Our family isn't the kind that would mistreat new mothers. If we have the means, of course we want our granddaughter-in-law to enjoy a comfortable life.

It's not about being spoiled or delicate; it's just that someone cares about her.

Gu Hong's face turned red from the rebuke. The pain of being disliked in her husband's family was brutally exposed by Old Mrs. Jiang in front of everyone, leaving her with nowhere to hide her shame.
