Chapter 74 Let's have a drink



"I'm fine. Changfeng took care of me, and I didn't suffer any grievances."

She might want to suffer some injustice, but that would have to wait until after Iron Palm retires.

"It seems that Changfeng treats you very well."

He had expected to see his daughter looking pale, thin, and exhausted from all the hard work.

I have to be honest, my daughter is a bit rounder than she is at home now.

"Father, Mother, you are the ones who have suffered."

A once happy family suffered a devastating change, which aged the parents and weakened their bodies.

I remember the day my parents were sent to the countryside. A group of people rushed in without warning, grabbing and smashing things, and dragging my parents out.

The original owner, who was completely lost, was taken away by her godmother who rushed over upon hearing the news, and was quickly arranged to go to the countryside.

As for the five hundred yuan and a large bundle that her godmother gave her for self-defense, they were all swindled away by the original owner's best friend.

The few odds and ends she brought with her when she went to the countryside were given to her by her best friend in exchange for the baggage of this big, clumsy girl.

Speaking of which, her best friend was also on the list of those sent to the countryside, but she was in one of the later batches. I wonder what kind of brigade would be able to accommodate her.

"Ruan Ruan, thanks to Changfeng, our family was able to reunite."

Three days ago, they received a letter from their daughter. After learning that she was getting married, they were filled with anxiety and trepidation.

They wondered if their daughter had been wronged or forced into something.

Or perhaps they can't endure hardship and give up entirely.

They knew nothing about their future son-in-law's character or personality.

This is their precious daughter; they wouldn't be at ease even if they died if they didn't see her in person.

But what can they do when they're imprisoned?

Who knew that I would receive the letter in the morning and then be notified to return to the city in the afternoon.

Then a phone call came from their future son-in-law. After explaining the situation, they got into the car that had come to pick them up.

"It's all thanks to Ruan Ruan; I only said a few words."

Gu Changfeng was too embarrassed to take credit; he had to be humble in front of his father-in-law.

Thanks to the prescription that Ruan Qiushui donated to the army free of charge, Gu Changfeng pleaded with his old leader for a long time and even wrote a guarantee letter himself before the old leader finally agreed to bring his father-in-law and mother-in-law back to the city.

Actually, my father-in-law and his wife were only implicated because of some completely unrelated overseas connection; the matter could be serious or minor.

Out of envy and resentment, he sabotaged the operation, which led to his being sent to a farm.

With the old leader's intervention, even if the other party is highly capable, they have to give him face.

"Changfeng, thank you. I really like the surprise you gave me."

Ruan Qiushui looked at Gu Changfeng with gratitude.

If we wait until the wave of rehabilitation begins, I don't know how much suffering my parents will endure.

The sooner we get back to the city, the sooner we'll be free.

"You're about to become my wife, isn't it only right that I help my parents-in-law?"

Gu Changfeng was really not used to Ruan Qiushui thanking him so formally.

"Let's go to my house first. My mother knew that my parents-in-law were coming, so she started preparing early this morning."

Gu Changfeng helped unload his parents-in-law's luggage and gave the driver a few instructions.

This car was specially approved by our old boss, who shamelessly went out of his way to get it; we still have to drive it back.

Gu Changfeng carried the luggage, while Ruan Qiushui held her parents' arms on either side as they arrived at the Gu family home.

The gates of the Gu family's courtyard were wide open. Xie Xiuying peered out from the gate for a while, and when she saw Ruan Qiushui and her entourage arrive, she quickly went to greet them.

"Silly boy, hurry up and introduce yourself."

At crucial moments like these, I just stand there like a log.

She knew her in-laws, but they didn't know her.

Xie Xiuying restrained her right leg, afraid that she might kick the third brother to the ground in front of her future in-laws.

"cough."

Gu Guangrong also came out and coughed as a reminder.

"Uncle Ruan, Aunt He, this is my father, Gu Guangrong, and my mother, Xie Xiuying."

"Father, Mother, these two are Ruan Ruan's father and mother."

Gu Changfeng gave a brief introduction.

"Oh my, these must be your in-laws."

"You must be exhausted from your journey. Please come in and sit down, let me tell you something..."

Xie Xiuying, as if they were old friends, took He Ruyi's hand and led her into the house.

Gu Changfeng, carrying his luggage, followed Ruan Qiushui inside.

The two remaining taciturn old men looked at each other awkwardly.

"Father-in-law, the house is full of good wine and food. Why don't we go inside and have a drink to relax?"

Gu Guangrong didn't know what to say, so he could only use the traditional method of entertaining friends over drinks.

"Okay, let's go in then."

Upon hearing the word "alcohol," Ruan Hengzhi's eyes lit up.

My wife is very strict. Not only is there no alcohol to drink on the farm, but even back home, I had to drink it secretly.

This time, when we meet the in-laws, my wife won't interfere too much, right?

"Come, come, please have a seat. Let me introduce you, this is my eldest son..."

Xie Xiuying warmly invited He Ruyi to sit next to her and arranged for Ruan Hengzhi to sit next to Gu Guangrong.

"The food and drink are simple; we are not very hospitable."

Gu Guangrong grinned from ear to ear as he held the Moutai that Gu Changfeng had bought. His wife glared at him, and he quickly exchanged a polite greeting.

"How can this be considered simple food? It's quite a feast."

He Ruyi was particularly pleased with the importance that the groom's family placed on her.

The table was laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat, as well as specially supplied Moutai liquor, fluffy white steamed buns, and white rice.

This meal was a rare treat, even before they were sent to the countryside.

It seems the Gu family truly loves their daughter, which puts her at ease.

"Come on, bro, let's have a drink."

Gu Guangrong and Ruan Hengzhi had already opened a bottle of Moutai and each filled a small cup.

"It smells so good, so delicious."

They both swallowed it down, then smacked their lips, looking on with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

"Look at these two drunkards."

Seeing the two old men who were clearly captivated by Moutai, Xie Xiuying and He Ruyi exchanged a glance and shook their heads repeatedly.

Ruan Hengzhi and Gu Guangrong drank heartily, while Xie Xiuying and He Ruyi chatted enthusiastically.

Gu Changfeng and Ruan Qiushui exchanged a glance, surprised that they could be so harmonious.

They were destined to be in-laws.

"Third sister-in-law, your parents are really easygoing."

Gu Changshu thought that his third sister-in-law's parents would cause a big scene this time.

In his mind, most city people looked down on country people, and when they came, they would inevitably make sarcastic remarks and find fault.

Furthermore, since the third brother's injuries have not yet healed, it's uncertain whether the family will even be willing to marry their daughter to them.

Unexpectedly, not only did the two men start calling each other brothers, but the two women also became best friends.

"My parents are very easygoing."

Her easygoing nature always depends on her.

They knew that Gu Changfeng was the man she had chosen. They also knew that the Gu family was the family she had selected to marry into.

They respect and wish her well in making her choice.

Therefore, out of love for the house, they were also willing to accept the Gu family.

I believe that as they spend more time together, they will also discover the admirable qualities of Gu Changfeng and the Gu family.
