Chapter 222 Love and Hate
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye. Han Zhengping has passed the provincial mathematics Olympiad and is now waiting for the results.
After he finished the test, Gu Siqing asked him how he did. As a result, Han Zhengping said he didn't know, which made Gu Siqing want to bite him.
Gu Siqing had been observing his expression these past few days, but the young man was the same as usual, neither particularly happy nor particularly unhappy.
Gu Siqing couldn't figure out what was going on and could only say in her heart that he was a reserved and reserved person.
The results came out before the holiday, and Han Zhengping was first again, first in the province. Naturally, everyone was delighted.
After Gu Siqing learned the results, she ran to his room and asked him, "Did you guess this result a long time ago?"
Han Zhengping smiled good-naturedly, "No!"
Gu Siqing snorted, "No reward this time. I'll give you a reward when you get first place in the country."
"You want to save the prize?" Han Zhengping asked her with a smile.
Gu Siqing: "Are you lacking confidence in yourself?"
"That's not the case."
As the two were talking, Han Erpang came in, looking aggrieved and helpless, "Brother, can you not do so well in the exam?"
He had a very hard time these days, with Tian Huiying nagging him every day:
Don't play all the time. Look, Xiao Si is in the third grade like you, and you are only in the fifth grade.
Look at your brother, he ranked first in the province in mathematics Olympiad, but you only scored over 70 points.
…
Gu Siqing pulled Han Erpang to sit down and sighed, "Don't take what my aunt said to heart."
Gu Siqing felt that Tian Huiying was a little too much. Although Erpang was not a particularly outstanding child, he was not bad either. Most people in the world were ordinary people like this.
Ordinary people also have ordinary happiness, ordinary goals and ordinary success. Why compare your children with the best?
Isn’t it the most important thing for children to be kind-hearted and happy?
"I don't take it to heart. I think I'm fine now. It's just that my mom's nagging is too annoying." Han Erpang sighed while lying on the table.
Gu Siqing felt that Han Erpang also had his strengths, which was that he knew himself at a young age, and he did not compare himself with others, but just stayed true to himself.
"Okay, I'll talk to Dad later and ask him to talk to Mom." Han Zhengping patted Han Erpang on the back.
Han Erpang sighed weakly again, and Gu Siqing felt quite sympathetic towards him. After returning home, she told Gu Jianguo about this and said, "Dad, please tell Uncle Han not to let Aunt Tian talk about Erpang anymore."
Gu Jianguo also felt that Tian Huiying had gone too far. She shouldn't push her child like that! He said, "Okay, I'll talk to your Uncle Han later. Erpang is a good kid. Don't let her talk you into a wrong direction."
A few days later, Han Erpang was back to playing happily in the alley. It seemed that her and Han Zhengping's actions had worked.
…
Gu Xueqiang's cosmetics agency was doing well, and he had made some money, so he bought a house near Gu Siqing's home before the Lunar New Year. He discussed with Gu Jianguo about bringing Gu Jiancheng and his wife, along with Gu Xuebin and Wu Dani, over for the Lunar New Year.
The main thing was that he couldn't keep his business a secret from Gu Jiancheng and Zhang Chuntao. Once they found out, they would definitely come looking for him. In that case, it would be better for him to take the initiative to take them over. As for whether they would leave after they came, we would see when the time came.
So, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Jiancheng and his wife, along with Wu Dani and Gu Xuebin, arrived in Lizhou. Gu Jianguo and Gu Xueqiang met them at the station. When they arrived at Gu Xueqiang's newly purchased house, Gu Jianguo said to Wu Dani, "Mom, why don't you stay with me?"
When Zhang Chuntao heard this, she immediately said, "That's great! Big brother, your house is big and you can live a good life. Mother can enjoy the happiness with you."
Gu Jianguo ignored her and looked at Wu Dani, waiting for her answer.
Wu Dani glared at Zhang Chuntao, snorted heavily, and said, "According to the old rules, I should live with my youngest son. Boss, I'll live here. Just give me money."
Gu Jianguo was shocked. Considering his mother's nature of tormenting his wife, this shouldn't happen!
He forgot the saying that things that are far away smell good, but things that are close by stink.
When Wang Yueju was in the village, Wu Dani saw her every day. Seeing that she had given birth to four girls and was still loved by her son, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to make trouble for her.
Later, Wang Yueju came to Lizhou, and Wu Dani could only see her once a year. Instead, Zhang Chuntao was always around. However, Zhang Chuntao was still lazy and could not compare with Wang Yueju.
When Wang Yueju was in the village before, in order to avoid gossip, everyone would give her a bowl of delicious food whenever there was one, but Zhang Chuntao was not like that. She would eat all the delicious food by herself.
By comparison, she realized how good Wang Yueju was. Now Wu Dani saw that Zhang Chuntao was bad in every way. So she didn't want Zhang Chuntao to have an easy life, so she wanted to live with her and keep an eye on her.
Gu Xueqiang also said at this time: "Uncle, let my grandma live with me."
He also knew that his grandmother would definitely make a scene after a few days of going to his uncle's house. His grandmother wouldn't make a scene with him, but she would definitely make a scene with his mother.
Let them quarrel. His grandmother doesn't live here anyway, and his mother is also looking for trouble. It would be better to let them quarrel with each other, so that he would have less worries.
In this way, Gu Jianguo agreed to give Wu Dani thirty yuan every month, and she lived with Gu Xueqiang.
After Gu Siqing learned about this, she came to Wang Yueju and said, "I never thought that my grandmother and Second Aunt would one day love and hate each other."
Wang Yueju snorted, "She's just looking after her grandson. She's trying to prevent Zhang Chuntao from taking her grandson's things to the Zhang family, and also to prevent the Zhang family from taking advantage of her grandson."
Gu Siqing: “…”
This is indeed possible. According to her grandmother's thinking, her mother's family has no one, so she will definitely not take things from her family, and her family will not benefit from it.
He didn't give his things to his two grandsons, but he didn't give them away to outsiders either. But Zhang Chuntao was different. She had brothers from her mother's side, and they would definitely take advantage of her when she got better off.
Don't worry about it, as long as the old lady doesn't come to their house to cause trouble. Oh, I feel sorry for Brother Xueqiang, having a mother like that.
After the New Year, Gu Jiancheng and Zhang Chuntao did not leave, and they also asked Gu Xuebin to find a school to attend. Gu Jianguo called Gu Jiancheng home for a talk.
Gu Jiancheng had been afraid of Gu Jianguo since he was little, because he had been beaten by Gu Jianguo many times when he was little. Now that Gu Jianguo was doing business, he was interacting with people of a much higher level, and his temperament had changed a lot, so Gu Jiancheng was even more afraid of him.
When he arrived at Gu Jianguo's study, he didn't even dare to sit on all the chairs.
