"I don't care if it's sweet or not, I just think my choice was right, it's you guys who are wrong!" Cai Wei insisted on her opinion, and she got angry with her husband, "Don't interfere in this matter, or I'll get mad at you!"
Gu Dongsheng took a deep breath. "Fine, I won't interfere, but remember, if our son strongly objects, you shouldn't be too forceful!"
Cai Wei didn't think that way. She felt that her son should listen to her. This was a major life event, not a trivial matter like a dinner party.
Besides, she believed she could succeed, just because she was his mother!
——
Gu Lingxiao got off the bus and walked to the hotel. He arrived at his parents' room and gently knocked on the door.
Cai Wei heard the noise, opened the door, and saw her son.
"You still know to come over!"
"Mom, are you still angry?" Gu Lingxiao asked casually.
Cai Wei turned and walked back to the sofa. "Why am I angry with you? You even know I'm angry? If you knew I was angry—"
At her husband's glance, she was about to launch into a tirade about the woman's faults when she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Gu Lingxiao said, "I'll go see Grandma first."
Cai Wei opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her son had already gone inside. She could only slap her thigh in frustration.
Gu Lingxiao entered the house and saw his grandmother reading a book while wearing her reading glasses.
"Ling Xiao, come sit down quickly!" Li Xuehua moved aside, then looked at her eldest grandson whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Have you suffered a lot while eating here all these years?"
"well enough!"
“You didn’t even discuss it with your family when you joined the army. By the time I found out, you were already on the bus and gone.”
“I felt that since my brother was gone, I had to fulfill his dream, so I went.”
“You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. Your brother’s death wasn’t your fault; he just reached the point where he was supposed to go.”
Gu Lingxiao said, "Grandma, I want to tell you that the girl I like is a really good person, and I'm sure I'll be happy with her."
Li Xuehua laughed, "If that's the case, I really want to meet her and see what kind of girl my grandson likes so much."
Gu Lingxiao: "Then shall I take you to see her?"
Li Xuehua: "What about your parents?"
Gu Lingxiao was at a loss for words.
Li Xuehua could see that the child was in a dilemma. "How about this? I'll go and talk to them. You should make the decision about the marriage yourself."
“My mom will argue with you if you do that!” Gu Lingxiao said.
Li Xuehua patted her grandson's hand. "It's nothing. At my age, I'm still afraid of arguing. I'm already content just to be able to come here and see you."
Gu Lingxiao said, "Grandma, I didn't think things through before. I'll come back to see you when I have a vacation."
Li Xuehua said, "I know you are protecting our country and can't come home often, which I understand. I only hope to be able to attend your wedding. That way, I can die in peace."
Gu Lingxiao opened his arms and hugged his grandmother, then gently let go.
You will live to be a hundred!
"Then I'll become an old monster!" Li Xuehua laughed heartily.
“With me here, no one will dare to say anything to you,” Gu Lingxiao said.
Li Xuehua felt that her grandson's personality had changed a lot, a stark contrast to his previous taciturn nature.
"It's rare for you to talk to me so much. You used to be so quiet and reserved."
Gu Lingxiao felt embarrassed by his grandmother's words. "Comrade Lu said the same thing to me. Later, I changed it and now I can talk a lot more."
Li Xuehua thought the girl seemed nice, so she threw back the covers and got out of bed.
"I'm going to assert my authority as a mother-in-law and tell your mother that I'm in charge of your marriage!"
Gu Lingxiao quickly helped his grandmother up and then followed her out of the house.
Seeing my parents sitting in the living room, one eating sunflower seeds and the other reading the newspaper, seemingly unfazed by their coming out.
After Li Xuehua regained her footing, she spoke, "Dongsheng, I had something to say when I came out."
Gu Dongsheng quickly went over and helped his mother sit down next to him.
"Just say what you want to say, don't be so serious, it's kind of scary."
"Then I'll say it!" Li Xuehua glanced at her daughter-in-law. "I just talked to Ling Xiao. His marriage is his own decision, and you shouldn't get involved!"
Cai Wei panicked and instantly transformed into a shrew, shouting, "Why? I'm his mother!"
Li Xuehua: "Then I'm still his grandmother. Without me, where would Dongsheng be?"
