Chapter 132: Why don’t you like the three children you gave birth to?
Xu Hongying looked at Shen Sisi in confusion. Seeing that the girl was laughing uncontrollably, she knew that she must be hiding something from her.
"Why are you looking at me, Sisi? Look at me too!" Gu Changhe forced a smile, but the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, which looked uglier than crying.
"Why am I looking at you? Because you're old? Because you have so many wrinkles?" Xu Hongying was extremely disgusted with him and felt uncomfortable if she looked at him for even one more moment.
She said sourly, "Besides, don't you go to accompany your 'good' sister every New Year's Day? Be careful, she might be heartbroken."
Shen Sisi widened her eyes. What the hell?
Gu Changhe doesn't spend time with his family on New Year's Day every year, but instead goes to spend time with that woman?
This is intolerable!
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Changhe explained: "What sister or no sister? Apart from the sister of our Gu family, I don't have any sisters outside."
"As for her...she told me before that after her parents passed away, she rarely contacted her siblings, didn't find a partner, and didn't have any children. She felt so sorry for herself spending the New Year alone. She hoped I could go with her to visit her parents' graves every year!"
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly, so he just said everything in one breath.
Hearing this, Xu Hongying also felt unbelievable: "Just visiting the grave?"
"Yeah! What else do you think?"
"When his parents were alive, they treated me like their own son, and I had some affection for the elders in our family, so it's only right that I visit their graves."
Xu Hongying glared at him. "What about this year? If you don't go, won't there be anyone to accompany her to the grave?"
"No!" Gu Changhe made the decision without even thinking: "I won't go anymore!"
"You..." Xu Hongying was also stunned. It was the first time in decades that she heard him reject that good sister so clearly.
Even Gu Chengfeng stood there stiffly, looking at his father with a puzzled look.
Gu Changhe saw their confusion, cleared his throat, and made a public statement: "I'm going to stop interfering in Huifang's affairs."
"I used to be confused and always felt sorry for others. Even if I really owed her something, I have paid it back over the past few decades."
He turned his head and said to Xu Hongying sincerely, "From now on, I will no longer have any contact with her, and I will never do anything to embarrass you again. Let's not talk about divorce, okay?"
Bang!
The bowl in Gu Chengfeng's hand fell to the ground.
His parents are getting a divorce?
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Sisi pulled his hand and said, "May you be safe and sound, and may you two talk first. Chengfeng and I will take care of it first."
The broom cannot be used on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Shen Sisi pulled Gu Chengfeng and picked up the fragments one by one with her hands.
"Let me do it! Be careful with your hands." Gu Chengfeng put her aside and absentmindedly lowered his head to pick up the fragments.
Although he had long felt that there were problems in his parents' marriage, he felt mixed emotions when he heard with his own ears that his parents were getting divorced.
At this time, Shen Sisi winked at him: "Chengfeng, come out!"
Gu Chengfeng followed her out obediently.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help but ask.
"What did you and Dad talk about in the room just now?"
Shen Sisi asked him to calm down: "This is what happened..."
She quickly explained the whole story.
"Actually, I can see that your father still cares about your mother. Otherwise, he wouldn't try so hard to come talk to me and try to save this marriage."
Gu Chengfeng never expected that his father actually had real feelings for his mother.
He leaned against the cold wall and said, "From my childhood, my dad rarely came home. Every time he came back, we always quarreled. I thought at that time, we should just leave him!"
"As I grew up, I heard that he had a woman outside. My hatred for him grew deeper, and I became more rebellious. I never thought the truth would be like this..."
Shen Sisi also found it unbelievable. Something that could be explained in just a few words, but the family had misunderstood it for decades.
"Yeah, if your father really has feelings for that woman, he should be happy to divorce her so that he can live with his white moonlight."
"But I can see that he has no feelings for that person. It was just guilt that was playing tricks on him before."
"I just pointed it out to him. That woman was clearly a traitor, deliberately destroying someone else's family. Your father is a smart man, and he quickly understood her scheming. The last bit of friendship and guilt in his heart was completely wiped away."
"Now, it depends on how he tries to make amends!" Shen Sisi sighed.
The two wrapped the fragments in oil paper. It was taboo not to throw away garbage on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they put the garbage in the corner.
But when they walked into the house hand in hand, they happened to hear Gu Changhe speaking to Xu Hongying in a soft voice.
"If I didn't like you, could I have three children with you?"
"You know my temper. If I didn't like you at all, I wouldn't even touch you..."
Xu Hongying's face turned red like a monkey's buttocks. She slapped him on the face. Her shy and flustered look made people laugh.
"Shut up! What are you talking about in front of the child?"
When Gu Changhe saw the two figures at the door, he was so scared that he quickly sat up straight and returned to his majestic appearance as the head of the family.
Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"Have a meal."
"Yes, let's eat..."
The meal was a great pleasure.
Perhaps Gu Changhe's confession worked, Xu Hongying was particularly gentle at the dinner table today, and her loud voice became much lower.
During the meal, Gu Chengfeng said that he would accompany Shen Sisi to Lin County and Jinfeng Village. When they heard that they were going to pay New Year's greetings, the old couple nodded and said that it was their duty.
"Take this." Gu Changhe took out a bulging envelope from his arms, which was filled with great unity.
"It's your first year of marriage, so come home and pay New Year's greetings. Don't be rude. This is the New Year's money your dad gave you. Take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some good things."
"Later, I'll have someone bring over those bottles of Maozi from the back of my car. They're really good stuff, I've collected them for almost 20 years, and I'll give them to my in-laws!"
Gu Changhe, the chief eunuch, is magnanimous in his actions.
But Shen Sisi didn't think that her uncle deserved these good things. She wouldn't drink them even if they were given to her aunt. In the end, they would either fall into the hands of Chen Jianguo, or into the hands of Chen Ting and Yang Huaidong.
"Dad, thank you for your kindness. You can keep the good wine for yourself. My family doesn't drink."
"Even if you don't drink alcohol, you can give it to relatives as a gift. It will make you look good!"
Before Shen Sisi could speak, Gu Chengfeng guessed her thoughts and took over the conversation: "Dad, we have already prepared everything, so you don't have to worry about it. There are too many things and we can't carry them all. In the end, Sisi will be the one who gets tired."
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was tired, Gu Changhe immediately became unhappy: "Okay, I'll keep these wines at home. You can drink them yourself or give them to others in the future. It's up to you. This is also my wedding gift to you!"
After Gu Changhe finished speaking, Xu Hongying nodded in agreement: "I haven't prepared anything, for fear that my in-laws might not be satisfied. Here are some cloth coupons, oil coupons, grain coupons, and egg coupons that I saved up. Take them and buy them something."
