"Mom, what are you saying? Even though we've separated, I'm still your son, still a member of the Gu family. Can't I come back to see you, Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma?" Gu Nan complained, but his resentment was probably much greater.
Sister-in-law Gu snorted coldly: "...I think you only come here when you have something to ask. You won't come when you have nothing to do."
Sister-in-law Gu felt she had raised her son for nothing; how come she hadn't noticed his true nature before?
"Mom, you really hurt me. But what's wrong with you two?" Gu Nan quickly changed the subject, asking his mother with a puzzled look.
Sister-in-law Gu gave him a deep look and said calmly, "Gu Zixiao is back today."
Gu Nan found a place for Lan Jiaojiao to sit down. Lan Jiaojiao was recently pregnant again.
They've been married for several years and have had several children, but none of them have been able to be born.
No, he accidentally caused Lan Jiaojiao to miscarry. Various unexpected events can cause Lan Jiaojiao to miscarry.
For a year or two, Gu Nan felt sorry for Lan Jiaojiao and took the initiative to help her avoid pregnancy.
She got pregnant again by accident this year, but this time neither of them cared as much as before.
The two of them felt that the child was most likely to die.
Sigh, I don't know why.
Upon hearing Gu Zixiao's name, Gu Nan reflexively asked, "Why is he back? Didn't he keep saying he wouldn't come back?"
Sister-in-law Gu: "They got married, so they came back to let us know."
Gu Nan: "...What? He got married? When and with whom? How did they meet? Have you met him? What's the situation now?"
Sister-in-law Gu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "What's it to you? Why do you care about him?"
Gu Nan: "He's a good brother, after all. Of course I want to know about his sudden marriage. Besides, we're family, shouldn't we give him a gift?"
Sister-in-law Gu: "You also have to consider whether they want to invite you or not."
Sister-in-law Gu continued, "Although he's back, you know what kind of people the rest of the family are."
So he just brought a message with him and left without staying any longer.
That's why your grandfather got so angry.
Also, your grandfather said we should move out after the New Year.
Gu Nan: "When we separated the family a few years ago, didn't Grandpa tell you to move out as soon as possible? I don't see you moved out. You still shamelessly live here."
To be honest, Old Master Gu's house is really nice, it's big and spacious, even though it doesn't have a toilet.
However, it's better than living outside.
Moreover, they rarely spend their own money on daily expenses; the whole family eats from Grandpa Gu.
Over time, this can save a lot of money.
This is also why many people, even after separating from their families, are unwilling to leave this place.
Lan Jiaojiao, who was standing nearby, also curled her lip, thinking that the Gu family members were all selfish and self-serving.
Unlike the couple, they never took a single penny of the old house.
But Gu Zixiao got married?
Did he marry Lan Yao?
Thinking of Lan Yao, Lan Jiaojiao felt both fear and hatred.
At the same time, there was a hidden anger in his heart from the fact that his revenge had not been achieved.
Lan Jiaojiao knew how terrifying Lan Yao was, but whenever she thought of Lan Yao, she would think of her once happy home.
If Lan Yao hadn't appeared, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
It would be even worse to marry a man like that.
She remembered having a dream where she went to Hong Kong and married a wealthy young man there.
But real life is the opposite.
How can you not be angry when you think about it like that?
So, when she learned that Lan Yao was going to marry Gu Zixiao, and that they might even become sisters-in-law, she was shocked.
Lan Jiaojiao deliberately told Aunt Gu.
Aunt Gu is a big mouth, and she loves to see people do badly.
In particular, she couldn't stand seeing Aunt Gu doing well.
That is, Gu Zixiao's mother is good, and the reason is...
Gu Zixiao's mother always doted on Gu Ershu, and the couple had a very good relationship.
On the contrary, Aunt Gu San's situation was the opposite of Aunt Gu Er's.
Her husband disliked her and her family even more, and would occasionally beat and verbally abuse her.
Therefore, Aunt Gu San always regarded Aunt Gu Er as a thorn in her side.
As for her mother-in-law?
Her mother-in-law was similar to Aunt Gu, except that her father-in-law didn't lift a finger.
Living together as a couple is more like living together as partners, treating each other with respect.
Judging from the current situation of the Gu family, it seems that Aunt Gu Er failed to accomplish the task.
That's really a pity.
Or rather, Lan Yao is really lucky.
The silence in the family didn't last long. After the old man scolded the men of the Gu family in the study, he impatiently waved them away.
Gu Nan and Lan Jiaojiao didn't stay at the Gu family home for long before heading home.
On the way home, the two remained silent.
It's not that I don't want to talk, it's just that it's too cold while riding a bicycle, so I can't talk.
After returning home, Gu Nan began to complain about Gu Zixiao.
This had become a habit for Gu Nan.
Lan Jiaojiao got used to it.
After taking off her coat and putting it aside, she said, "If Gu Zixiao gets married, the Gu family will be very lively in the future."
Gu Nan reacted quickly. He rubbed his hands together and went to light the coal stove: "What do you mean? Do you know him?"
Lan Jiaojiao: "Didn't you mention it before? I asked around and heard that Gu Zixiao's wife is divorced."
Think about what Mom said today. Gu Zixiao already had a strained relationship with his family, and now that his wife has the same temper, it will only make things worse.
Actually, this is also beneficial to us.
Gu Nan's constant jealousy of Gu Zixiao stemmed from Gu Zixiao's strength and status as the most likely person to seize his interests.
Now that Lan Jiaojiao has said this, Gu Nan pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed better."
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him: "That's excellent. As long as those two aren't around, who's the most capable person in the Gu family right now? Isn't it you?"
Gu Nan nodded: "That makes sense. You're really amazing, my wife."
Lan Jiaojiao: "...That's for sure."
Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao had no idea about Lan Jiaojiao and Gu Nan's plans, and even if they did, they wouldn't care at all.
It was a trivial matter to them, but Grandma Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are you two back so soon?" because they got home so quickly.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Lan Yao looked at Gu Zixiao and shrugged: "You should explain it."
She couldn't say anything about the Gu family's affairs.
