Chapter 81 How can you act so well?
After Qin Shulan finished speaking, she waited for Gu Huai to get angry and talk about Yu Hui.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes passed...
Gu Huai didn't say anything.
Qin Shulan then raised her eyes to look at Gu Huai, only to see him holding a teacup and drinking tea while blowing away the foam.
Wei Jingfen was also a little surprised by her brother-in-law's reaction. Why didn't he talk about his young wife?
Gu Huai put down his teacup. Seeing his mother-in-law and sister-in-law looking at him, he blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Did he not hear it? Or was he pretending not to hear it?
Or maybe he has been won over by his country wife and is on her side.
So, I don’t think there is anything wrong with her not borrowing money.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. You and Siyu are divorced anyway, so we shouldn't go to your house to borrow money." Qin Shulan's tone was full of emotion.
How could such a country girl win him over? Gu Huai was really not picky and could eat anything.
She had said long ago that if Gu Huai got married and had a good relationship with her, he would definitely become more and more distant from their family. It was absolutely true.
Look, it's only been a short time, his father-in-law fell ill, and he went to borrow money, but his wife refused to give it to him, and he didn't even say a word.
"It's okay if Xiaoyu doesn't lend us the money, but Xiaoyu abuses the children when you're not home. You have to take care of this."
"If I hadn't seen all those bruises on Beibei's legs one day, I don't know how much more abuse Beibei would have endured from her."
Gu Huai took a deep breath. "Xiao Hui is not that kind of person. There is a misunderstanding here. Children are young and prone to bumps and bruises. It must have been an accident."
"Where is the knock..."
Qin Shulan opened her mouth when Gu Huai interrupted her, "I haven't been home these days, and she has taken good care of the four children. They are a little fatter than before, especially Beibei, who is white and plump and clings to her mother."
Qin Shulan saw that he was still speaking in Yu Hui's favor, and she became a little anxious. "That was all because of her child abuse. I exposed it. She was afraid that you would come back and settle the score with her, so she raised the child well."
"They look good on the surface, but I don't know how they're torturing the kids behind your back. They're just kids, so they'll just kiss you if you can coax them."
"That's right." Wei Jingfen chimed in, "How many stepmothers are good? After all, they're not their biological children, so how can they truly be good to their children?"
Gu Huai took a look at Lin Chengfeng, who was playing alone in the corner. He was dirty, had bruises on his face, and was skin and bones.
This is her daughter too. As her own mother, she doesn't seem to be good to her child?
Lin Siyu is also a biological mother, but for so many years, she has never taken care of her children, never cooked a meal for them, or washed their clothes. She even expressed her disgust for her children when she was getting divorced.
Lin Yong also nodded and said, "Your mother is right."
He still hoped that his son-in-law and daughter could remarry. He had never expected that Gu Huai would be forced by the old woman Zhao Changying to marry a country girl so soon.
However, you can still get divorced even if you get married.
"I have my own opinion on how Xiaoyu treats the children, and the neighbors have all seen it. Xiaoyu has absolutely never abused the children."
Qin Shulan: "Gu Dong and Gu Nan said it themselves..."
"They just couldn't accept that they had a stepmother for a while, so they deliberately said that in front of others." Gu Huai interrupted his mother-in-law again, "Besides, they get along well with Xiaohui now."
He could see that Gu Dong and Gu Nan were not so averse to Xiao Hui anymore.
Qin Shulan: “…”
It's over, it's over. The son-in-law has been completely bewitched by the country woman and is completely on her side.
Wei Jingfen was very surprised. What kind of magic did that country girl have that made her brother-in-law not believe the words of his mother-in-law, whom he respected so much, and always sided with the country girl?
"Forget it, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore." Qin Shulan waved her hands in mock anger, "It's as if I, your ex-mother-in-law, am deliberately trying to sow discord between you and your husband."
"After all, the child is yours. If you don't feel bad for him, there's nothing we outsiders can do."
If Qin Shulan had been so angry before, Gu Huai, as her son-in-law, would have had to admit his mistake and appease her, his mother-in-law.
But this time Gu Huai didn't.
Qin Shulan felt a chill in her heart. It is said that a man forgets his mother when he gets a wife. Now that he has a new wife, he has forgotten his ex-mother-in-law.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. Gu Huai did not defend himself and just stood up.
"I still have things to do in the camp, so I'll go back first."
Qin Shulan frowned and said nothing.
Lin Yong stood up and asked them to stay. "Have dinner first, then leave."
"No more."
"Brother-in-law." Wei Jingfen put down her precious son in her arms and stood up.
We can't just let him go like this.
"Well, Dad's hospitalization cost a lot of money, and they're asking for that twenty dollars. Do you have enough money?"
Gu Huai laughed in silence. Even at this time, she still didn't forget to take money from him.
His smile made Wei Jingfen's heart skip a beat.
No, what does he mean by laughing now?
"I don't have any money. It's all with my wife." After saying that, Gu Huai walked away.
After hearing this, Lin Yong did not go to see Gu Huai off.
Qin Shulan felt that Gu Huai had gone too far, and she angrily started to curse, "I've said it before, if he gets along well with the wife he married, he'll become estranged from our family. Look, it's only been a short time, and he already doesn't take us seriously."
"I've helped him take care of his children for so many years, working hard and doing my best, and now he won't listen to me. What an ungrateful person."
Wei Jingfen was unhappy that she didn't get the money. She rolled her eyes and said, "Who told your daughter to divorce someone? Your daughter has already divorced someone, and you still can't let her remarry?"
"Besides, it's not like they didn't pay you for taking care of the child. Thirty yuan, that's more than the salary of the experienced technicians in our factory. You must have saved a lot of money over the years, right?"
Her mother-in-law must have saved a lot of money, at least two thousand yuan.
When she got married, she asked for a betrothal gift of 80 yuan. Her aunt Lin Siyu paid 50 yuan, and the rest of the money was Lin Siyu's previous betrothal gift. Only the sewing machine was bought off the shelf, so her parents-in-law didn't spend much money.
"..." Qin Shulan was choked by her daughter-in-law and was speechless.
No, where is she from?
"Captain Gu is leaving so soon?" As soon as he walked out of the yard, he met the old lady who had greeted Gu Huai before.
"Yeah." Gu Huai nodded with a bad look on his face and walked straight past the aunt.
"Hey, why didn't the Lin family leave any food for us?"
Gu Huai was sitting on the bus on his way back to the military compound, and the words the Lin family members said kept repeating in his mind.
He truly treated them as his own family and elders, but they just wanted to take advantage of him.
No, you're still treating him like a fool.
He only wanted to gain benefits from him, and all his previous sincere efforts became a joke.
Lin Siyu and the Lin family turned him, Gu Huai, into a joke.
He would visit the Lin family less often in the future. Since the children didn't want to go there anymore, he would just stay away from them.
If they can say provocative words to themselves, they might say them in front of their children as well.
He couldn't let the Lin family teach his children bad things.
