Gu Baobao's sister-in-law was definitely unwilling to let the family pay for her sister-in-law's house, while Gu Baobao didn't want to put her boyfriend in a difficult position.
Qin Yunting said he didn't have enough money to build a house, and she couldn't bear to make things difficult for him.
Anyway, she believed that her family could definitely come up with the money to build her a house; her family wasn't actually that poor.
Besides Gu Baobao's eldest sister-in-law, her other sisters-in-law also took the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.
The Gu family did not split up; Gu Baobao's grandparents were still alive, so their children and grandchildren lived together, making up a large family of dozens of people.
It's not that houses haven't had rooms added, but the number of rooms added can't keep up with the rate of childbirth.
In this era, a couple would typically have several children. Gu Baobao's uncles and aunts, along with her parents, all had several children. Gu Baobao herself had three older brothers and two younger brothers.
Her uncles and aunts were in similar situations, with about four, five, or even six or seven sons.
Gu Baobao's older brothers and cousins are all married and have children, with nearly ten children in the next generation.
With so many people living together, the room was indeed very cramped.
Gu Baobao's sisters-in-law couldn't stand that their family built houses for Gu Baobao but not for their own families, and they weren't allowed to move out. Their resentment ran deep.
Chen Suwen's family did not have such troubles.
Her two unmarried sons shared a room, her two daughters shared a room, she and Zhou Qingyun shared a room, and her eldest son and daughter-in-law, a family of four, shared a room.
There's no need to be like the Gu family, where all the brothers are married, yet they still bring their wives and children to "share the same room" with their brothers.
"Do you think the Gu family will agree to build the house?" A middle-aged woman in the crowd gossiped to her best friend.
"Given how much the Gu family dotes on Gu Baobao, it's hard to say."
"Tsk, didn't Gu's daughter-in-law refuse? Do you think they can't go against Gu's wishes?"
After all, she is a daughter-in-law who gave birth to a son. Does the Gu family really want to distance themselves from their daughter-in-law just because of a married daughter?
"Mom, stop making a fuss, don't make Auntie angry."
Seeing his mother's angry expression and then noticing that his aunt was also angry, Gu Baobao's eldest son quickly told his mother to calm down.
“Mom, if Aunt wants to build a house, then let her build it. Aunt should live in the best one.”
The Gu family's nephews were also brainwashed by their grandparents, their fathers, and their great-grandparents, who told them to be good to their aunt.
Even a one- or two-year-old nephew has to give way to his eighteen-year-old aunt.
I don't know if it's because all the blood relatives in the Gu family have a special feeling for Gu Baobao, but all of these little nephews also like Gu Baobao and protect her to the point of forgetting their own mothers.
"Mom, if you make Auntie angry, I won't talk to you anymore." The woman was stunned for a moment by her own son's threat, then became even angrier.
"What did you say?!"
She never imagined that the son she had carried for ten months and given birth to, the son she had raised with such care and love, would treat her like this.
"Mom, apologize to Auntie right now, or I'll disown you."
The other children in the Gu family also told their own mother to apologize to their aunt as soon as possible, because they shouldn't have made their aunt angry.
"If Auntie wants a house, I'll build her a big house. When I grow up, I'll build her the biggest house ever."
The Gu family's nephews made grand vows, but the woman who was their mother felt a chill run through her body.
The child they gave birth to with great difficulty, the son they thought would be their support for the rest of their lives, is being spoken of like this?
What's the point of having several sons?
"Auntie, I've already asked Mom to apologize to you." Her nephews surrounded Gu Baobao to comfort her.
"That's right, Auntie, I'll have my mother apologize to you too. My mother is really too insensible."
"Mom, can't you stop making Auntie angry?" someone said, angrily criticizing their own mother.
The daughters-in-law of the Gu family looked at their son's behavior with expressions as if they had been struck by lightning.
They were already prepared for their men not to protect them.
After all, we knew from the beginning that they spoiled their younger sister mindlessly, so it's understandable that they didn't stand up for them when they saw them having a conflict with their sister.
If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed.
But they never expected that their son, who carried all their hopes, would deliver the most painful blow to them.
Chen Suwen also felt that the Gu family's children were truly born in vain, or rather, they were all "slaves" born to Gu Baobao.
They don't care about their mothers at all, but instead fawn over their aunts. They're so devoted to their aunts, they might turn out to be ungrateful when they grow up.
Of course, they were ungrateful to their own mother, not to their aunt, Gu Baobao.
"These little brats are a waste of their lives, how dare they speak to their own mother like that?"
The onlookers also felt that these little brats had gone too far, talking to their own mother like that for the sake of their aunt.
Regardless of who is right or wrong between Gu Baobao and her sisters-in-law, no one would accept what happened to the Gu family.
But then his own son betrayed him at that moment, and no one could argue that he had given birth to the child in vain.
"How can it be considered a waste of time? Wasn't this child born for Gu Baobao?"
A girl of the same age as Gu Baobao couldn't help but speak up. She had always been jealous of Gu Baobao's status at home and also envied her for finding a boyfriend from Beijing.
