Chapter 158 Be a Brave Child
Chen Chunhua took out the silver from the house and happened to bump into her sister-in-law Zheng Cui'er who came out of the next room. She rolled her eyes and immediately shook the shadow in her hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, my second uncle's family is about to bring mother to Beijing, so I gave you the three years' filial piety silver in advance."
Chen Chunhua didn't want to suffer alone.
Zheng Cui'er had a good temper. Although she was surprised at how Chen Chunhua, a stingy person, suddenly changed her temper, she didn't care about the money she was about to give out. She just said, "It's my duty. I'll go back to the house to get the money now."
Chen Chunhua was stunned.
She never expected that her sister-in-law would be so generous in giving money. How come she didn't feel any pain at all for spending so much money?
Zheng Cui'er did what she said and turned back into the house. She not only took out the silver, but also took out a few pairs of shoes.
Old Mrs. Gu had just received the money from Chen Chunhua, and when she saw the silver and shoes that Zheng Cui'er presented her as a gift, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Mom, I'm slow. It took me so long to make shoes for Dad and Mom and Niu Niu, but I didn't have time to make shoes for A'yan and A'zhao." Zheng Cui'er said apologetically.
Old Lady Gu waved her hand and said, "It's great that you can do so much. You and Yunniang are both good people. Your life will definitely get better and better."
When Chen Chunhua heard her mother-in-law's obviously biased words, she couldn't help but get angry again.
She was still hoping that her good son would feel sorry for her, but she didn't expect that Gu Yun only knew how to poke at her lungs when he spoke.
"Mom, look, I remember your sincere respect for grandma in my heart. You should learn more from your second and third aunts, so that you will be the one praised by grandma in the future." Gu Yun said seriously.
Chen Chunhua was so angry that her head was about to smoke. She thought to herself, is it such a big deal to be praised by the old lady? Look at what her eldest son said, as if her goal in life was to be praised by the old lady!
As if it wasn't exciting enough, Mrs. Gu took out a silver bracelet from her bosom and put it on Zheng Cui'er's wrist: "This pair of silver bracelets, one for you and one for Yunniang. You are both my favorite daughters-in-law."
Chen Chunhua's eyes widened: "Mom, why are you still biased? I have been filial to you for many years."
Old Lady Gu was openly partial and said, "I love whoever treats me well. Tell me, what have you done to honor me over the years?"
Chen Chunhua immediately began to stammer. Her brain was about to smoke, but she couldn't think of any filial deeds she had done.
She could only look at Gu Yun for help and said, "Your grandma is too bullying."
Gu Yun seemed to have cultivated a heart of stone, and was not affected at all by my mother's instigation.
"Mother, it's not too late to mend the situation. From today on, you should be a filial daughter-in-law, so that you can get grandma's sincere praise and reward." Gu Yun persuaded patiently.
Chen Chunhua said unhappily, "You went to a school for a few days and then you came home and showed off your knowledge to your mother."
Since her own son didn't stand on her side, Chen Chunhua felt annoyed just standing there. She simply threw up her sleeves, rushed into the house and started complaining to Boss Gu.
"Your mother has always been partial to one party, but now she is openly partial to one party. The second and third wives all get benefits, but I am the only one who has become the sinner in the whole family." Chen Chunhua chattered on and on.
This time, Boss Gu did not listen to her instigation. He just felt that his ears were noisy: "You are partial if you want to. We have separated anyway. What are you still arguing about? Do you want to live together again? Or do you want to make your second brother unhappy with your noise? Will you be happy only if Ayun loses his job?"
After hearing this, Chen Chunhua stopped complaining about Old Lady Gu and just muttered, "We are all family members, and I am an outsider. It's all for nothing."
Boss Gu now lives an easy life. He has plenty of money in his pocket and can make some money from selling tofu. His eldest son is successful and filial, and he brings back some wine to honor him from time to time, so he doesn't have to hold back when he wants to eat meat.
Compared with Gu Mingda, Gu Lao Da's life is nothing, but it is the best in the village. Now, as he drinks wine and eats snacks, he feels that he has no worries. Looking back at the days when he was instigated by Chen Chunhua, he can't understand why he has to get stuck in that dead end.
"Just behave yourself. If you keep making trouble all the time and offend your second brother and his wife, you'll end up crying." Boss Gu said casually.
When Chen Chunhua heard this, she was furious. Everything turned out just as Boss Gu said. It would be no good if she offended the second branch.
Gu Laoda instructed again: "Look, the third brother and his wife know how to make shoes, why don't you know it? If you please your parents and Niuniu, your second brother and his wife will definitely remember it."
Chen Chunhua scolded the third wife again: "They are both cunning! They act like cats stealing fish when they see a little benefit!"
But for Gu Yun, she could only suppress all her dissatisfaction in her heart, and then turned into a house-wrecking dog, rummaging around in the house.
Boss Gu didn't care what she did, as long as she didn't disturb him.
Chen Chunhua searched for a long time and found a bag of chestnuts. She had originally saved it for Gu Yun, but now she made up her mind and eagerly sent it to Niuniu.
"Niuniu, these chestnuts are just harvested this year, and they were sent by your uncle Chen. They are very sweet. Take them and try them." Chen Chunhua gave the whole bag of chestnuts to Niuniu.
Gu Daya asked in confusion: "When did my uncle send chestnuts to our house? How come I didn't know about it at all?"
Chen Chunhua reached out and patted her daughter, saying, "You are so old, and you are still greedy. This is for your sister, don't worry about it."
Gu Daya curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
After Chen Chunhua left, Niu Niu immediately distributed the chestnuts to Gu Daya and Gu Xiaoya.
"My aunt used to dislike me, but after we split up, she treated me so well that I'm not used to it anymore." Niu Niu said in a low voice.
Gu Daya said casually: "I don't understand my mother either. Anyway, she loves my eldest brother, my second brother, and you, but not me. Your parents are still the best. They love you the most. I really want to be my second uncle's daughter."
In the past, this kind of topic always resonated with Gu Xiaoya, but now she did not participate, but said: "My parents are also very good to me."
One month after Zheng Cui'er got married, Gu Xiaoya changed her mind.
Children can actually tell who is good to them.
Gu Daya sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this. After all, I'm the only one who's sad."
Niuniu comforted her, "Sister Daya, Brother Ayun is a very good person. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell Brother Ayun and ask him to talk to Auntie."
Gu Daya was stunned when she heard this. Although Gu Yun was the eldest brother, the two siblings rarely had serious conversations and always played by themselves.
"Brother is on duty now. Will he listen to complaints from a child like me?" Gu Daya asked in a low voice. She was also afraid that if she spoke out, her brother would pour cold water on her.
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "My cousin is a very nice person. He is my brother after all. He won't hit you if you say a few words to him. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Daya lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Niuniu continued: "Be brave!"
"Ah?" Gu Daya was stunned.
As a biological father, Gu Mingda taught Niu Niu many truths. He wished he could pour all his life wisdom into his daughter's little head.
Niu Niu has always been the one who passively accepts reason, but now she finally has the opportunity to reason with others.
She clenched her fists and looked at Gu Daya with encouragement: "My father said that as long as the consequences are not that bad, we should do it bravely! Many things seem difficult, but once you take that step, they become simple!"
