Wang Fenglan's initial joy at seeing her second son vanished instantly.
She threw the things on the ground and said coldly, "Second son, I'm your mother, not your servant. I don't care if you came all the way back. Take your own things, or I'll slap you across the face."
Gu Nan, who was being helped into the house by Lan Jiaojiao, heard his mother's fierce tone, and the memories he had deliberately forgotten because he was away from home came back.
Gu Nan stiffened, glanced back at his mother, and said to Lan Jiaojiao, "Honey, you really are something. How can you take it for granted that Mom can carry things? That's so unfilial."
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Wang Fenglan apologetically, "Mom, please don't hold it against us. I'm feeling unwell, and I'm pregnant anyway, so..."
Before Gu Nan could finish speaking, Wang Fenglan interrupted him, striding over to his side and coldly saying, "Don't talk nonsense to me. I know what kind of person you are."
"Hurry up and bring your luggage in; I'm waiting to close the door. And keep it down, if you wake the rest of the family, they won't be as patient as I am."
Gu Nan: ...
The smugness he felt upon returning from Shenzhen vanished the moment his own mother got angry.
He said "oh" and turned around to bring in the luggage that the couple had left outside.
Then, listlessly, he took Lan Jiaojiao's hand and entered the room.
They had barely stepped inside when Wang Fenglan closed the door behind them.
Wang Fenglan closed the door and said to Gu Nan and his wife, "The food is in the pot in the kitchen. Take it out and eat it yourselves."
After she finished speaking, she went back to her room to rest without looking back.
snort!
Trying to cause trouble for your mother?
Even his own son wouldn't do that.
Besides, does my mother need a son?
If this son is unfilial, aren't there also an older son, a third son, and a youngest son?
Even if things don't go well, she still has two daughters.
Even if her own children are unfilial, as long as she has money, she doesn't care if they die.
Wang Fenglan stormed back to her room. Uncle Gu, who was reading the newspaper in the room, saw her like this and asked, "What's wrong? Did the second son upset you?"
Wang Fenglan snorted and threw off the covers: "I should have listened to you and let him die."
Uncle Gu: "I told you before not to worry about it. You said it yourself, that the second son hasn't come back for a long time, and it breaks my heart as his mother."
You even complained about me back then.
Gu Nan's character is something that Uncle Gu doesn't know at all.
He couldn't be bothered to care.
Anyway, it's a thankless task to manage, and they'll hold a grudge. So why bother managing it at all?
Besides, he has an eldest son, whom he and the old man raised themselves.
Although he may not be as good as Gu Zixiao from his second brother's family.
But compared to the other branches of the Gu family, they are still quite good.
“Yes. I should have listened to you back then.” Wang Fenglan sighed. “Why did I end up raising only one son like this? It’s such a headache.”
"Alright. He knows what to do about his own affairs. I don't care what happens to him in the future."
Uncle Gu put the newspaper aside, lifted the blanket, and prepared to go to sleep.
But just before falling asleep, Wang Fenglan asked, "Tomorrow is the New Year, should we bring that rascal Gu Zixiao back?"
Uncle Gu: "If he wants to come back, he will. I'll ask my second brother tomorrow. Alright, let's go to sleep now."
Wang Fenglan and Uncle Gu are asleep.
Gu Nan and Lan Jiaojiao were at a loss.
Lan Jiaojiao was angry, but on the surface she still had to pretend to be well-behaved and cute.
"Brother Nan, where is your room? Let's put our luggage in the room first, and then I'll go to the kitchen to see what's there. If there are noodles, we'll make a bowl of noodles first."
To be honest, Lan Jiaojiao used to never eat noodles.
When she was at the Lan family's house, she was always the first to eat and the first to be served.
When did you eat that kind of thing?
This also happened later...
Thinking of this, Lan Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of Lan Yao, who was relentlessly pursuing her.
She clenched her fists instinctively. "Lan Yao, this isn't over between us."
Speaking of which, Lan Yuzhu seems to be in the capital. Last March, she deliberately mailed the letter she stole from Lan Yao to her good friend Lan Yuzhu.
How could a peasant like Lan Jiaojiao have a soldier like Wang Lei as her husband?
Does she deserve her?
Coincidentally, Wang Lei was located in Beijing.
Upon seeing the address, Lan Jiaojiao immediately thought of Lan Yuzhu.
To be honest, she and Lan Yuzhu didn't really get along.
Lan Yuzhu was an extremely favored person in the Lan family of the capital.
Although Lan Jiaojiao was also favored, that was in the past.
Ever since discovering that she wasn't a member of the Lan family, Lan Jiaojiao has always felt a thorn in her side, unable to let go of the feeling.
Therefore, he felt jealous and angry towards Lan Yuzhu, who was also favored.
However, this did not prevent her from giving Lan Yao's fiancé to Lan Yuzhu.
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
If Lan Yao discovers the truth and goes to confront them later, that would be a real mess.
That way, she can still see the excitement.
Lan Jiaojiao only feels at ease when they are all doing badly.
Therefore, during this trip to the capital, Lan Jiaojiao also wanted to check on Lan Yuzhu's situation.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Nan carried their luggage and walked for a while before opening a door to a main room. He said to Lan Jiaojiao, "This is our room. You rest in the room, and I'll go cook some noodles. How about I also lay down two eggs for you?"
Looking at this main room, which was even smaller than the room where she used to store her clothes, Lan Jiaojiao inwardly grimaced.
Even if she felt disgusted, Lan Jiaojiao knew that things were different now.
So, she took a deep breath and said to Gu Nan, "Brother Nan, let me see if we should tidy up the house."
Gu Nan walked over naturally, touched the table, and then checked the bedding.
"No need, just make the bed. No matter how much my mom dislikes me, she'll clean my room when she knows I'm coming back."
Lan Jiaojiao nodded and gently advised, "Brother Nan, I think Mom is angry because it's too late and too cold. You can't take it to heart. Mom is getting old, and we, as the younger generation, can't hold it against her."
Gu Nan couldn't help but hug her: "Oh, my wife is so good to me. How did I end up marrying you?"
Lan Jiaojiao nudged him a little shyly: "Brother Nan, it's so embarrassing for you to say that. Besides, to be honest, it's my luck to have met you."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today."
