Chapter 157: Gratitude
Even before Chen Chunhua became a mother-in-law, she already had the mentality of a mother-in-law. When she said this, she could no longer hide the expression of "my son is the best" on her face.
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry at her unlucky daughter-in-law that she laughed.
Gu Yun, on the other hand, had just come out and after just one listen, he ran over anxiously, wishing he could shut my mouth.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Yun is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. Captain Chen not only teaches him how to do his job, but also teaches him the ways of the world.
And in comparison with his colleagues, Gu Yun also understood better than others how lucky he was. With Gu Mingda as his uncle who took care of everything for him, he had taken fewer detours than others.
Gu Yun knew how to be grateful in his heart.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't you say that your master likes you very much? He has a girl in her teens at home. Doesn't that mean he wants to marry the girl to you?" Chen Chunhua said as a matter of course.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea.
Gu Yun was overwhelmed and said, "Master is indeed very good to me, but you are talking nonsense like this, which will ruin Junior Sister's reputation. If Master knew about this, I don't know how he would deal with me."
Chen Chunhua was still as proud as a basin: "It's bad, so just marry her. I can still have a city girl as my daughter-in-law."
When Old Mrs. Gu heard this, her brows furrowed so much that they could kill a fly. In her entire life, apart from her bad mouth, she had never done anything as immoral as this.
Besides, now that the Gu family has been divided, whether the first and third branches can take advantage of the second branch is secondary. If the first and third branches dare to drag down Gu Mingda, she will be the first to disagree.
"You bad boy, give up these ideas as soon as possible. If you have such an idea, I will let the second son go to the government office and tell Gu Yun to go home and farm now!" Old Lady Gu threatened viciously.
Chen Chunhua was shocked by this and said, "Mom, Ayun is your grandson, why don't you hope for him to be well?"
Old Lady Gu ignored her and stared at Gu Yun intently, asking, "Ah Yun, do you have the same idea as your mother? Do you both want to use such despicable means to marry a city girl?"
Gu Yun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Grandma, I absolutely do not have such thoughts. Master has been very kind to me. Even if he wants to marry me, he should do it in a proper way and not use such conspiracy tricks."
Gu Yun had been in the city for more than half a year, and his life was quite simple. He either worked in the government office, or in the Gu family, or studied in the Luo family. He was surrounded by decent people, and he also learned to be upright.
Chen Chunhua curled her lips when she heard this and said, "What's wrong with that? Once she's married, we'll have the final say."
Seeing his mother so stubborn, Gu Yun's mind was filled with alarm. Seeing that Old Lady Gu was staring at him solemnly, Gu Yun made up his mind and said, "Mom, if you really think so, then I will come back now. At worst, I will not work as a clerk anymore and just farm in my hometown!"
He knew how to control Chen Chunhua and threatened her with her own future, which made Chen Chunhua anxious.
"How can you be so stubborn, kid? I was just talking to you. Are you going to give up your bright future? Why don't you just force me to death?"
Chen Chunhua was making a fuss, but Gu Yun just stood there, letting her throw a tantrum and threaten to come back no matter how hard she tried.
"My second uncle and his family are going to Beijing, so it's not convenient for me to live in this house anymore. I'll pack up and go back to the countryside." Gu Yun became more and more determined as he spoke.
He thought about how Captain Chen and his second uncle had taken care of him over the past six months, and thought to himself that instead of waiting for Chen Chunhua to explode, it would be better for him to just come back to avoid a disaster.
Chen Chunhua was originally sitting on the ground, holding her chest and making a fuss, but upon hearing this, she jumped up.
"I won't say anything more. I don't have this idea anymore. Ayun, just be obedient and don't go home. I beg you for it." Chen Chunhua said pitifully.
Gu Yun did not change his words.
When Chen Chunhua saw that her son was serious, she was so anxious that tears came to her eyes.
"I really won't say anything. Please believe me. I won't dare to have such thoughts again... What do you want me to do in order to continue working in the city?" Chen Chunhua begged bitterly.
Gu Yun felt a little reluctant when he heard his mother repeating the same thing over and over again, but he also understood that if he couldn't stop the evil thoughts in his mother's heart once and for all, there would be no peace in the future.
"If you can't put away those little calculations in your mind, I won't go back to work." Gu Yun said.
Chen Chunhua nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. I will never make any more plans. You believe me, okay?"
Gu Yun would not believe her empty words. Only when Chen Chunhua paid the price would she remember the pain.
"My second uncle will soon be bringing grandpa and grandma to Beijing. You should first give grandma the filial piety you deserve in the form of silver. You don't have to pay for too many years, just pay for three years first." Gu Yun said.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, the expression on her face almost cracked. She made random promises without spending any money, but now Gu Yun’s proposal would result in a real loss of money.
She felt extremely sad and said, "How can you have sex for three years? How can your family make ends meet? Your grandma loves you. Even if I give it to her, she doesn't necessarily have to..."
Old Lady Gu said on the spot: "Whoever said I don't want it, give it to me now."
Chen Chunhua: …
Chen Chunhua cursed her mother-in-law hundreds of times in her heart.
"In life, money is needed everywhere, there is no way to save money..." Chen Chunhua stumbled as she evaded the question.
Gu Yun was no longer the reckless boy who didn't know how to spend money. He said, "Even if we buy oil and salt every day, we are not short of money. Not to mention the money I sent home, we also got so much money from the division of the family. You also made money from selling tofu. It is impossible that you can't even take out the money for grandma's filial piety."
"You don't even want to take this money. It seems like you want me to come back and farm. Well, taking care of the few acres of land at home and selling tofu with you in my spare time is no different from working in the city." Gu Yun said this deliberately.
Chen Chunhua was really anxious: "How can this be the same? Being a police officer is so glorious. Why did you make me angry like this?"
Chen Chunhua also knew that Gu Yun kept his word, and she was still thinking about letting her eldest son stay in the city for a long time in the future. Even if it hurt and she was reluctant, she had to take out the money.
"Okay, okay, I didn't just give birth to a son, I gave birth to a living ancestor!"
Chen Chunhua went into the house cursing and searched for her purse.
Old Lady Gu glanced at Gu Yun and said, "Good boy, don't learn from your mother. We should follow the right path in life, so that our lives can get better and better."
Gu Yun nodded and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will listen to you."
