Chapter 50: Red Hearts
Although Gao Xiuyun was unhappy in her heart, she did not show it when facing Zhou Jincong.
She stood up slightly and looked at Zhou Jincong, saying, "Jincong! You scared me just now. I was just thinking about cultivating a relationship with Comrade Qin Cheng!"
Gao Xiuyun's face turned slightly red, and after saying this, she looked at Qin Cheng eagerly.
Zhou Jincong didn't expect that his cousin would be so shameless. Seeing that his words had no effect, he went back to the house and called Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother came out confused and was shocked when she saw Gao Xiuyun's action.
"Xiuyun, what are you doing?" Zhou's mother walked to Gao Xiuyun, took her hand and walked aside.
Zhou's mother was an elder, and Gao Xiuyun was afraid that she would complain to her family, so she had to obediently follow Zhou's mother away.
As soon as Gao Xiuyun left, Qin Cheng relaxed instantly.
"Jin Cong, your cousin is too scary."
Qin Cheng had a tearful face and looked at Zhou Jincong helplessly.
Zhou Jincong was very embarrassed. "I didn't expect my cousin to do such a thing. I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to the army!"
"What good food is there in the cafeteria? Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to come sit down for a meal and let's eat together." Qin Cheng pursed his lips and thought, "Sister-in-law worked hard to make the meal, so she should eat with us."
Zhou Jincong looked at Qin Cheng expressionlessly.
Although Zhou Jincong's expression was no different from before, Qin Cheng still knew that he was angry, so he quickly spoke up to make amends.
"Sister-in-law has friends too. You and I can come and she can invite another friend. What do you think?"
Facing Qin Cheng's hopeful face, Zhou Jincong poured cold water on him, "Not very good."
The food was ready quickly, and Zhou Jincong and Qin Cheng helped put the food on the table.
As soon as Gao Xiuyun saw Qin Cheng carrying the food, she immediately went over and took the plate from Qin Cheng's hand.
"Comrade Qin Cheng is a guest, how can we let guests serve the dishes!"
Gao Xiuyun glanced at Ye Wangshu, her eyes full of displeasure.
Ye Wangshu didn't take Gao Xiuyun's attitude seriously. If she cared about everything, she might not have died accidentally in her previous life, but from depression.
Zhou Jincong looked at Gao Xiuyun unhappily, but when he thought that she was his cousin, he said nothing.
As soon as the food was served, Gao Xiuyun frowned and looked at Ye Wangshu with dissatisfaction.
"How did you prepare this meal? It's just this much, and there's not much meat. Comrade Qin Cheng is a guest, are you treating him like this? I bet it's not even as good as what we eat at home!"
"Cousin! If you talk nonsense again, get out!" Zhou Jincong looked at Gao Xiuyun expressionlessly, his tone extremely cold.
Hearing this, Gao Xiuyun instantly became furious, "Jin Cong, you can't be so partial to your wife!"
"How can you have the nerve to treat Qin Cheng with such food!"
Faced with Gao Xiuyun's displeasure, Ye Wangshu directly set his eyes on Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment. "Jin Cong and I are brothers who have shared life and death together. We are all family. There is no need to treat us with lavish food and fish."
"Besides, I think the food is pretty good."
"How can this be possible!" Gao Xiuyun didn't want to let Qin Cheng down, so she stood up and walked to Qin Cheng, inviting him, "Comrade Qin Cheng, let me take you to the state-owned restaurant for dinner!"
"No, I've eaten too much at state-owned restaurants. I'd rather eat the food my sister-in-law made."
Faced with Gao Xiuyun's enthusiasm, Qin Cheng didn't want to make things awkward and put his brother in a difficult position, so he had to decline.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xiuyun became more and more demanding, implying that Ye Wangshu had not treated Qin Cheng well and did not take Qin Cheng seriously.
After that, Gao Xiuyun invited Qin Cheng out for dinner again.
Although Zhou's mother has a gentle personality, she has lived for so many years and she knows what Gao Xiuyun is thinking.
Mother Zhou slapped the table and looked at Gao Xiuyun angrily and said, "Xiuyun, Qin Cheng has already rejected you. Sit down and eat well."
"Aunt..." Gao Xiuyun glanced at Zhou's mother, then sat down reluctantly.
Before she could calm down for a while, Gao Xiuyun set her eyes on Zhou Xiaohong again.
"Aunt, what do you think my cousin's sister-in-law is thinking? She actually asked my younger sister to learn hairdressing, and she, as her sister-in-law, actually asked her younger sister-in-law to learn the skills of serving people!"
Gao Xiuyun looked dissatisfied and approached Zhou's mother and said weakly, "Aunt, tell me, what is Ye Wangshu thinking?"
"She obviously knows so many important people, but she didn't find a good job for my little sister. She didn't even treat Jin Cong's brothers well. Doesn't her heart belong to the Zhou family at all?"
"Gao Xiuyun! What nonsense are you talking about!?" Zhou's mother looked at Gao Xiuyun angrily, her eyes full of impatience.
"Aunt, what Xiuyun said is true! You said that Ye Wangshu, as a daughter-in-law, is attracting many men outside..."
"Get out! Get out of here! Our Zhou family can't tolerate a big Buddha like you, Gao Xiuyun, and you have no right to talk about my daughter-in-law!"
Ye Wangshu looked at Zhou's mother in shock and was very surprised.
Zhou's mother seemed so weak and frail that she couldn't even hold her own in front of Li Xiaoxia. But now, facing Gao Xiuyun, she was so decisive in driving her away. It was really cool.
Ye Wangshu's impression of Zhou's mother suddenly changed drastically, and her eyes were full of hearts when she looked at Zhou's mother.
Gao Xiuyun didn't expect Zhou's mother to be so mean to her, and she was unable to react for a moment.
Seeing Gao Xiuyun still not moving, Zhou's mother slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "Xiuyun, don't make me say that again."
Mother Zhou's tone was very cold and hard. Gao Xiuyun was shocked. She looked at Qin Cheng reluctantly and got up to leave.
After Gao Xiuyun left, the atmosphere in the room instantly became lively.
Except for Li Xiaoxia, everyone was in a good mood.
After dinner, Zhou Jincong said in front of everyone, "Mom, I won first place in the last competition. I have to attend the army's commendation meeting tomorrow. Military families can attend."
"This is great news!" A hint of surprise flashed across Zhou's mother's eyes. She then glanced at Ye Wangshu and Zhou Xiaohong and said, "Let Wangshu go with my younger sister this time! I won't go wandering around in my old age."
Zhou Jincong nodded. Except for Ye Wangshu, he didn’t care whether anyone else went or not.
"Okay, I'll go with my little sister then."
Since it concerns Zhou Jincong, Ye Wangshu naturally has to go.
"Mom, I don't want to go." Zhou Xiaohong curled her lips and looked at her mother eagerly.
Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother's attitude was very firm. "If you don't want to go, then you don't need to go to the city to learn hairdressing. Just go to high school honestly."
"But I'm really not interested!"
Zhou Xiaohong sat pitifully on the side, looking at Ye Wangshu with a face full of grievance.
Ye Wangshu understood what Zhou Xiaohong meant, but did not speak for her.
After all, she wanted Zhou Xiaohong to understand that things in the world could not be the way she wanted them to be.
