Gu Xizhi, a hardworking employee, suddenly dies from overwork and transmigrates into a novel she once read. She becomes the pitiful cannon fodder "true daughter" who faced a tragic ending. ...
Chapter 308: The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't know what they are plotting - After the real daughter's mind is read, her personality collapses
[Gu Sirou was truly calm, so calm that I almost doubted whether what my cousin said was true.]
[It seems that she will not admit it unless the evidence is thrown in front of her.]
[If that's the case, why waste time with her? Seeing her face really affects my appetite. ]
Gu Jiangyuan frowned and followed Gu Xizhi and the others away.
When he passed by Gu Sirou, his eyes never left her face.
If he had done such a bad thing and someone hinted it at him, he would definitely panic. He would not believe that Gu Sirou's acting skills were so good.
Even calmer than his brother? How is that possible?
It turns out that this is actually possible.
Even though Gu Xizhi and the others had walked far away, Gu Sirou's face still did not reveal any trace of sadness.
She was a person who was reborn. She was almost 30 years old when she died in her last life. She had experienced so many things. How could she not be able to calm down over such a small matter?
***
It was almost time for school to end in the afternoon.
The old lady and Lin Manni, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, became closer to each other than ever before after they realized that each other could hear Gu Xizhi's thoughts just like themselves.
Before, they were the model mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the aristocratic circle, and their relationship was very harmonious. Now, their relationship is even better than that of real mother and daughter.
After finishing their work, they sat in the glass greenhouse and had afternoon tea while chatting.
The old lady said: "When Guaiguai comes back, help me find a way to get her to tell me more about your father and make me happy."
She used to think that she was the only one who could hear Guaiguai’s inner thoughts, and she felt a little lonely.
This will be helpful.
Lin Manni took a sip of black tea, her eyes lit up: "Mom, then you can also find a way to help me find out about Shicheng and the children, and let me gossip more."
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
Both of them are a little excited now.
Zhong Yuan still lives in Gu's house. Gu Xizhi said he is too fat and asked him to lose weight first. He is playing skipping rope in the yard after eating the delicious afternoon tea made by Uncle Wang.
Mr. Gu came back and supervised him with Fang Mianzhi.
Zhong Yuan jumped twice and then tied the rope, jumped twice and tied the rope again. He jumped for ten minutes, and in total he only jumped twenty times. However, he was already out of breath.
He was so tired that he stopped to catch his breath.
Mr. Gu shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, you've only jumped a few times, don't stop, keep jumping."
Zhong Yuan gritted his teeth and jumped twice more, but was stopped again. This time he really couldn't jump anymore, and he was afraid that his master would scold him again.
He tried to find a way to divert the old man's attention.
"Mr. Gu, have you noticed that your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law seem to have a particularly good relationship today? I saw that the two of them spent most of the time together today, and they were having afternoon tea together in the greenhouse.
Look at them, they are talking, looking in our direction, and laughing together. Could it be that they are gathering together to say something bad about someone?"
"I heard that if two women say bad things about the same person, their relationship will develop rapidly."
As expected, Mr. Gu's attention was diverted by him. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Lin Manni and the old lady.
"There are only three of us here now. Mr. Fang and I are both guests. I think your wife and your daughter-in-law are both polite people and are unlikely to say bad things about us. I think the possibility that they are saying bad things about you is quite high."
Grandpa Gu???
He actually thought what he said made sense.
"You skip the rope here by yourself. I'll go over and take a look."
Who cares whether he jumps the rope or not now? He has to go and see what bad things his wife and daughter-in-law say about him.
Inside the greenhouse, the old lady frowned when she saw the old man coming over.
"What is this old guy doing here?"
"You continue to drink tea here. I'll go to the kitchen to see how Lao Wang is doing."
She is no longer willing to play with people who can't hear her thoughts.
Zhizhi would be back from school soon, so she had to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could help with.
As the old man approached the greenhouse, he saw the old lady coming out.
He snorted and dodged when he saw him coming, probably because he felt guilty for saying bad things about him.
At 5:20 in the afternoon, Gu Xizhi and Sang Yanche arrived home.
Gu Jiangyuan will take the college entrance examination in more than two months, and now he only comes back from school after evening self-study.
The old lady winked at Lin Manni, and the two of them walked towards Gu Xizhi together.
One brought her slippers and the other helped her carry her schoolbag.
Then I followed her to the restaurant and watched her wash her hands and sit down to eat with a smile on my face.
The old lady also called her grandfather over. She felt that since the old man couldn't hear Guaiguai's true feelings anyway, there was no point in calling him over.
And if he were around, Guaiguai would probably be more likely to remember his melons.
The old man looked at his overly attentive wife and daughter-in-law and felt that they were up to something.
Children like to eat fried chicken and milk tea. Uncle Wang prepared fried chicken wings, fried sausages and fruit tea for Gu Xizhi.
Lin Manni put a straw in the fruit tea and placed it in front of Gu Xizhi.
Pretending to talk to the old lady, "Mom, did you hear about Uncle Chen next door this afternoon? I never thought that Uncle Chen, who is quite old, would have such a little-known scandal on his body."
Lin Manni nodded: "I must have heard of this. I never thought of it."
[Hey, there are melons to eat? But can you be more specific? Instead of just saying there are melons, why not tell me what kind of melons they are? ]
Gu Xizhi ate while looking up, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Lin Manni and then at the old lady.
Even the old man looked at them curiously.
"What news? Did Lao Chen do something bad behind his wife's back? I saw Lao Chen when I went out this morning, but he didn't tell us. He hid it well enough."
The old lady rolled her eyes. “I didn’t say that.”
She said this to her daughter-in-law just casually, hoping that Zhizhi would remember some gossip about her grandfather.
Please don't cause any misunderstandings between Mr. Chen and his wife.
"But you," she stared at the old man with a scrutinizing look, "you said these things right at the beginning. Could it be that you did something bad behind my back?"
"Zhizhi, don't you think so? Does your grandfather look guilty?"
Gu Xizhi was a little confused.
She shook her head innocently: "Grandma, I'm still a child, I don't understand."
[Aren’t we talking about Grandpa Chen’s gossip? Why does it feel like it has turned into a criticism meeting of my grandpa? ]
[However, I can recall whether my grandfather has ever done anything to let my grandmother down.]
The old lady looked at Lin Manni and curled her lips. It turned out to be a success.
Take care of the old man!!!
