The man's eyes were as hot as fire. Gu Qingmeng felt like her face was burning. Damn hormones!
"Qingqing, we're getting engaged the day after tomorrow. Are you happy?"
Pei Xinghe asked in a low voice in Gu Qingmeng's ear. He was happy that the girl did not push him away. He knew that his apology and promise had worked, and their engagement party could be held as scheduled.
"Don't think that I forgive you just because I agreed to get engaged. Marriage can also be divorced. If one day our marriage makes me feel miserable, I will leave without hesitation and leave you alone."
Gu Qingmeng spoke harshly to the man, and then talked about the food issue, asking Pei Xinghe to arrange someone to get the food tomorrow and bring the promised sheep along.
When they returned home, they saw Pei Dazhuang and Zhang Shuqin there. Pei Weidong also came and was standing next to Su Xue with an awkward look on his face. When he got closer, he heard that it was his uncle and others talking about the wedding.
"Weidong, Xiaoxue is our adopted daughter. If she does anything wrong, just give us a call. We will teach her a lesson. Our Fu family has no shortage of sons, but we lack daughters."
Fu Qingzhou's face was full of smiles, and everything he said was meant to support Su Xue.
Pei Dazhuang had been the captain for over a decade, so how could he not understand the meaning behind his words? He immediately assured, "Uncle, Weidong is my nephew. He grew up before my eyes. I promise you that he will treat Miss Su well! If he dares to do anything wrong, I will teach him a lesson without you having to tell me."
"Haha! I feel relieved with your words. We, the Fu family, are relieved to leave the two girls to your family. You see, we are new here and don't know much about the local wedding procedures. Could you explain it to us?"
Fu Qingfan stepped forward and humbly asked for advice. They needed to know the local wedding customs. One was to complete the task assigned by their niece and let Su Xue get married in style. The other was that since their niece was engaged, the wedding would not be far away. They could not let their niece suffer any grievances, otherwise he would feel sorry for his sister.
That inhuman Gu Jun actually made his later wife pregnant at this time. She will come over after a while. Isn't this making his niece feel wronged?
The stepdaughter is taking care of her stepmother during her confinement, and there's no man at home, so how can there be less gossip? I really want to punch Gu Jun to death.
They came together because they had another issue to resolve, which was Tian Liping's job problem. The brothers discussed and decided to let Tian Liping work in Gaoling County, and the twins would go to school with her. The young men of that age would be able to take good care of their mother.
If all else fails, he can quietly find someone to help. He cannot drag his niece down and cause gossip. It would be troublesome if he attracted someone with ulterior motives.
"Mengmeng is back. Come on, let me see how you've lost weight after being out for two days. Didn't you take good care of me, Old Four? You're the one who's always causing trouble but not being able to do anything right. The dishes I made today are all your favorites."
Ever since Zhang Shuqin found out that Gu Qingmeng was dating her son, she changed her address to Mengmeng from Gu Girl. Knowing that Gu Qingmeng was busy teaching students, she always came to help with housework and pickling vegetables, and she almost filled up the cellar.
"Thank you, Auntie! I love your cooking. We are in for a treat today."
Gu Qingmeng can be said to like this future mother-in-law very much. She is diligent and efficient, and helps her with work. She always thinks of her when there are delicious food. She is the most perfect mother-in-law Gu Qingmeng has ever seen.
If this continues, Gu Qingmeng dreams that she will treat Zhang Shuqin as her own mother and be filial to her!
The group walked all the way to Pei's house. Several elders were chatting animatedly, and Gu Qingmeng and the others could not get a word in. Gu Guodong and Gu Guoliang were particularly silent. They knew that this was their sister's uncle, who came to discuss their sister's marriage. If it weren't for the incident at home, their father and grandfather should have been present today.
The two uncles have never liked their mother, and as a result, they don’t like them very much. Since they were young, they have been a little afraid of the two uncles coming to visit.
"What's up with you two? You haven't said much today!"
How could Gu Qingmeng not know that her two younger brothers were afraid of her uncle? The uncles weren't bad to the twins, they just ignored them.
Their mother, Fu Xixi, died in childbirth, and Gu Jun waited for six years before remarrying. They were all mentally prepared, but they would still feel uncomfortable when he really got married, feeling that someone was taking his sister's place.
The original owner also thought so in her memory. She also remembered that one time her uncle got drunk and cried and wanted to move Fu Xixi's tomb and bury her next to her grandmother. He said that the whole family should be buried together in the future.
In the end, Gu Jun cried bitterly, refused to agree to move the grave, and promised to be buried with Fu Xixi a hundred years later. Only then did Fu Qingzhou give up.
The Fu family really loved the original owner's mother! They also loved her very much.
"Sister, we are fine. We just can't bear to see you get married soon. Brother Xinghe, if you bully my sister, I will fight you to the death."
Gu Guodong now doesn't think Pei Xinghe is as good as before. If you want to say who is the best person to his sister, it is still Brother Qi Zheng. It's a pity that his grandfather called off the marriage.
"Don't worry, your sister is the only one who bullies me."
Pei Xinghe looked at his two brothers-in-law with some amusement. They were young yet they wanted to fight to the death?
"Grandpa, you look so energetic today."
When Gu Qingmeng saw Pei Heixiong, she immediately went forward to greet him. Looking at the people in the yard who were particularly honest today, she whispered in the old man's ear to ask the reason.
"The old lady is not an ordinary person. She can manage the household."
Pei Hei Xiong laughed. If he were to ask who in Peijiagou he was most afraid of, it would be his niece-in-law, who was older than him.
Gu Qingmeng didn't expect that Grandma Pei had such a trick? Seeing that the second aunt of the Pei family didn't dare to speak, she wanted to laugh.
"Well, that's the most annoying thing."
Pei Hei Xiong glanced at Pei Erzhuang's family. He also looked down on that girl the most, and he also looked down on Pei Erzhuang. What good would it be for him to marry such a woman?
"Uncle, how about I give my second son to you?"
Grandma Pei was annoyed by her second son's family and had thought about adopting a child several times.
"You keep it! I don't want it! Weidong and Xiaohua are okay for me." Pei Heixiong said after taking a puff of cigarette.
"That's impossible, little grandpa. Weidong is my only son."
Pei Erzhuang shook his head like a rattle after hearing this.
"Even though we only have one son, you haven't treated Weidong well. What did you say about the betrothal gift? How much will you give?"
Grandma Pei wasn't afraid of being laughed at. Her grandson was getting married soon, but the betrothal gift wasn't certain yet! The Fu family would definitely ask about it soon!
When she entered the village, she saw two sewing machines on the ox cart. A glance at her grandson told her that they were dowry brought by the other party, and she wanted to give some of the money from the bottom of the box.
Although they are godparents, the Fu family seems to want her to be treated as a half-daughter, so it would not look good if the betrothal gift is too little.
"Mom, how can you say that Erzhuang is your only son? My Guofu and Guoqiang also call him dad. Weidong's house has just been built, and I really can't afford the bride price."
When Pei Erzhuang's wife heard that they were asked to take the betrothal money, she suppressed her fear of her mother-in-law and whispered that her two sons were about to reach the age of getting married, and they needed money everywhere, so how could the family have money to give to outsiders?
Besides, Pei Weidong has enough money to build a house, so how could he not have money to get married? That stinky girl Su Xue is not a good person either, she is a scoundrel. Whoever marries her will be unlucky for the rest of his life.
