Chapter 739: Everyone Started to Make Fun of Themselves
Mr. Gu was lucky enough to get a red strawberry. Because it was fed to him by his great-grandson, the old man felt that it was sweet to his heart.
"So sweet, Ajing and Alin are both well-behaved, and Tangtang knows how to teach children." He praised.
Lin Tang didn't dare to respond and said with a smile: "Although I want to accept Grandpa's praise, but they are mainly in charge of Yingzhou, so I really don't dare to accept your words."
"Girl, you're just so modest." Old Master Gu hugged his two great-grandchildren and nodded at her with a smile. "Even if Yingzhou takes care of the children for a few days, that's what he should do. Ajing and Alin at least call him dad, so he has to live up to these two words."
Gu Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's not easy to manage two children. There's no need to praise the father for occasionally taking care of them."
Lin Tang: “…” The key is not occasionally.
Seeing that her family didn't believe her, she gave up explaining.
Mao Wan sat beside him, hugging her granddaughter. Seeing how the old man spoiled Lin Tang, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Tangtang is so lucky." She said this first.
The tone was full of envy and a hint of sourness.
Lin Tang smiled slightly, "Yes, I am indeed blessed. Grandpa and my parents are so good to me. I am so blessed."
Ruan Shu didn't like Mao Wan's sarcastic expression. She put down her teacup and glanced at her indifferently.
"Compared to Tangtang, I feel that I, as a mother-in-law, am more blessed. After all, it's not easy to find a daughter-in-law who is filial and can talk to you."
As they spoke, Ruan Shu held Lin Tang's hand, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were as affectionate as mother and daughter.
Mao Wan looked at this scene and thought of her daughter-in-law who always thought three sentences were too much for her, and she felt indescribable in her heart.
But Mao Wan has always been stubborn and never gives up. Since she can't compete in this, she thinks of competing in something else.
"...Haha, seeing that sister-in-law and daughter-in-law have such a good relationship, I am happy for you too." She said insincerely.
Then the tone changed again.
"You haven't lived together all your life, so it's normal to be close at first. As time goes by, your living habits, perspectives, and experiences will clash more and more. I'm not making this up. As the old saying goes, things that are far away smell good, but things that are close smell bad. By then..."
Ruan Shu focused on Qingqi, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Life habits and horizons? Thank you for worrying about it, my second brother and sister-in-law. I'm not really worried about these."
"There's some strange clash of living habits. Tangtang and Yingzhou have good living habits. Gu Yu and I don't have that much trouble. As for the vision and experience you mentioned..."
She paused, her words full of admiration for Lin Tang.
"My vision and knowledge are indeed not as good as Tangtang's, but I don't think Tangtang will mind this."
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Of course I don't mind. My horizons and knowledge are limited, and I still need to learn a lot from Mom."
After saying these words calmly, Lin Tang was laughing like crazy in his heart.
Her mother-in-law is so cruel.
The second aunt clearly wanted to imply that she came from a small place and had limited vision and experience, but who would have thought that her mother-in-law would bring herself into the picture.
Mao Wan: "..." Is the sister-in-law crazy? In order to protect this daughter-in-law from the countryside, she actually started to make fun of herself.
And Yingzhou’s wife actually dared to respond!
Mao Wan was dissatisfied and continued, "The college entrance examination has been resumed, but Tangtang has never thought about applying to university?"
When the news that Lin Tang was admitted to Huaqing University reached Gu's family a few days ago, she happened to be back at her parents' home, so she didn't hear about it.
Moreover, Mao Wan has an outstanding personality and always likes to compare with others, but the Gu family did not tell her about it.
Lin Tang had no time to answer, Mao Wan continued talking.
"Although you are a little older, isn't there no age limit for registration for the college entrance examination this year?"
"A high school diploma is no match for a college degree."
What he said was really uncomfortable to listen to.
Gu Yingzhou was drinking tea with Gu Yu beside him. When he heard Mao Wan talking more and more, his eyes turned cold.
"Second Aunt, you're meddling too much! My wife can do whatever she wants. It's none of your business as Second Aunt."
"...I heard that Xiao Ming's grandfather lived to be ninety-nine because he never meddled in other people's affairs. If Second Aunt wants to live a hundred years, she'd better not meddle in other people's affairs."
Mao Wan kept saying unpleasant things, not giving Lin Tang any face, and acted mean as if she wanted to slap her in the face.
At this time, all of them were returned by Gu Yingzhou.
Lin Tang had rarely heard such harsh words from her husband and almost spit out the tea she had just swallowed.
Isn't this the joke she told a few days ago?
Really good at applying what you have learned.
Ruan Shu was also very excited, her expression was frozen, but she was excited.
It has been many years since I heard Yingzhou criticize anyone, and she missed him quite a bit.
Mao Wan's face darkened. She placed her granddaughter on the sofa, then suddenly stood up and started to speak. "Dad, brother, sister-in-law, why don't you just stop caring about Yingzhou? I'm his elder after all. How can he talk to me like that..."
When adults quarrel, children are the most sensitive.
Gu Mujing and Gu Mulin were originally talking in a low voice with Old Man Gu. When they noticed that the atmosphere was not right, they stopped laughing and looked at other people.
Mr. Gu is the head of the Gu family. In his opinion, it is normal for family members to have quarrels.
What's more, he knew that Tangtang was not the type to be bullied.
So he didn't want to interfere.
However, seeing his two great-grandsons who were obviously frightened, the old man instantly became unhappy.
Old Master Gu's eyes were filled with pressure. "Yingzhou is right. Wasn't it the second son's wife who started the trouble first?"
Mao Wan was speechless and could only put some value on her words and actions, saying, "I'm doing this for Yingzhou's own good..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Gu smiled disapprovingly.
"You know exactly what you're doing this for."
"Yingzhou has parents, and at worst, he still has me as his grandfather. It's not your turn to say anything."
His dissatisfaction with Mao Wan, his daughter-in-law, was evident in his words.
Mao Wan dug her nails into her palms in anger when she heard the old man scolding her in public without giving her any face.
Old Master Gu didn't care what his second daughter-in-law thought. He retracted his gaze and looked at the twins lovingly.
"Ajing, Alin, do you want to go out for a walk with Grandpa Zeng?"
The twins didn't dare to say a word about what their great-grandfather said to their disliked great-aunt, and they adored Mr. Gu.
The identical twins looked at Mr. Gu with star-like eyes and nodded at the same time.
"Okay, okay."
Afterwards, the old man took his great-grandson to visit an old friend's house.
Ruan Shu and Lin Tang were both careless and didn't pay much attention to Mao Wan. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to have endless things to talk about.
"Tangtang, when do we register for Huaqing University? Don't waste time."
Ruan Shu brought up this topic very suddenly. Lin Tang was stunned, knowing that her mother-in-law was trying to save face for her.
He understood and said, "Three more days."
Ruan Shu gave his daughter-in-law an admiring look, but when he saw Mao Wan's dazed expression, he suddenly felt bored.
...What's there to argue with Mao Wan about?
After venting her anger on her daughter-in-law, Ruan Shu said seriously, "I've prepared a yard for you near Huaqing University. If you find it too noisy at home, you can live there. It's quiet over there."
