Chen Suwen also felt that the Gu family's sons were born entirely for Gu Baobao, and that the mother had given birth to these sons in vain.
It depends on the perspective. In any case, Gu Baobao would definitely be very happy, since everyone protects her, and her uncles, brothers, and nephews all dote on her. It is indeed very enjoyable.
Chen Suwen was too lazy to say anything more.
Why doesn't this seem strange when it happens to men?
It's like having a son who is the only son in the family, Yaozu. Aren't all his sisters, aunts, and great-aunts serving him?
Even brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces, did they all give everything for the sake of bringing glory to their ancestors?
Aren't all those women building houses for their only sons to bring honor to their families, helping them find wives, and making all sorts of sacrifices for them?
Why can't we accept this when it's a girl like Gu Baobao?
Although Gu Baobao's nephew is rude to his biological mother but is very open and honest with his aunt, it's not that strange.
If the mother can't accept it, then she should get a divorce and see what she chooses.
A son who wants to be filial to himself, rather than to his sister-in-law, should consider finding another family.
"Do you think the Gu family's daughters-in-law will get divorced?" Chen Suwen asked Zhou Qingyun in a low voice.
"Difficult," Zhou Qingyun shook his head.
People rarely divorce in this era, especially couples in rural areas.
Even if some people cheat on their partners, they won't get a divorce if their partners turn a blind eye; they'll just continue living together in a daze.
The Gu family did not commit any of the fundamental problems; they simply doted on their younger sister, and their son was more protective of his aunt. Although they could not tolerate it, they would not easily divorce.
“Their families won’t let them get divorced easily,” Zhou Qingyun said.
While not all families who arrange marriages with the Gu family are necessarily those who don't value their daughters and are afraid of losing face if their daughters get divorced, it's certain that they won't allow their daughters to get divorced.
Divorce is a very heavy topic.
Chen Suwen also knew that divorce was very difficult. Not to mention now that it's 70 years old, even in 2025, divorce will be extremely difficult.
Despite all the commotion caused by the Gu family, nothing came of it, and Gu Baobao's house was still going to be built as planned.
Before winter arrives, before the first snow falls, and before the ground freezes, hurry up and dig out the foundation.
After the farce involving the Gu family came to an end, the Zhou family also went home.
On the way back, Zhou Min took her sister Zhou Ling's arm and asked, "Sis, you're getting married to your husband during the New Year. Will you go to Yunnan Province with him after that?"
"Not yet." Zhou Ling shook her head. "Your brother-in-law's rank hasn't reached the level required for military dependents, so I will continue to live at my parents' home."
Zhou Min's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Really? Sis, will you continue to live at home?"
"Very good."
Zhou Min was very happy, but she was very anxious because her sister was getting married. She was afraid that her sister would leave her.
She has always been attached to her older sister since she was little. Her sister has a good temper and treats her very well. She really can't bear to leave her sister.
Zhou Ling patted her head. "Yeah, I'll be staying for a long time."
Although Song Che is very talented and comes from a good family, he is still young and it will take him several more years to rise further in his career.
Before Song Che's rank was high enough to allow his family to accompany him to the army, Zhou Ling would definitely have to continue staying at her parents' home.
Chen Suwen paused, and after hearing her daughter's words, she looked at her and asked, "Do you want to find a job?"
"My son-in-law said his family is quite well-off. They should be able to find you a job, right?"
Chen Suwen thought of Zhou Ling from her previous life. When she was still in Guangzhou, she didn't have a job, but because her whole family lived in Guangzhou, it didn't matter if she didn't work.
Later, she joined the army and became a teacher at a school. She was not admitted to university until the college entrance examination was reinstated.
Now that their family is based in Shandong Province, Song Che has no idea whether Zhou Ling will be able to join the army until the twins are four years old.
So, is Zhou Ling going to spend the next four or five years doing nothing at her parents' home?
It's such a waste that Zhou Ling, such a genius and so intelligent, has wasted four or five years of his life.
Zhou Ling not only stayed at Tsinghua University as a teacher, but she also later obtained the title of professor and apparently entered a classified unit as a researcher.
Like Zhao Lexin, she disappeared from public view a few years after graduating from university. All that is known is that she is safe and has gone somewhere to do research.
Chen Suwen arrived earlier this time, hoping that Zhou Ling would not waste her clever mind.
"Your son-in-law's family should be able to find you a job. Think about what you want to do and tell them when your in-laws come to visit."
If you want to marry Chen Suwen's daughter, don't you have to give something in return?
Why can't I have a job?
When the Wang family was getting married, didn't they also prepare a job for their future daughter-in-law?
The Song family is much more powerful than the Wang family; I believe they can also provide Zhou Ling with a job.
Zhou Ling's eyes lit up considerably upon hearing this.
It's clear that she also wants to have a job, mainly because she's getting married and doesn't want her parents to support her after marriage.
As for working in the fields, she really didn't want to do it anymore.
Farming is really hard work.
"Think it over carefully during this time. When your son-in-law and in-laws come to visit, you can tell them what you want to do."
"Okay," Zhou Ling replied.
Xu Huixue looked at her sister-in-law with some envy; in fact, she also wanted a job.
Working in the fields all day is really tiring.
How could she not be envious that her sister-in-law could find such a capable man who could also help her with her job problems?
...
With several months to go before the Lunar New Year, the Gu family was busy building a house for their only daughter, while the Zhou family was also making some moves.
After Zhou Ling gets married, she will either live at her parents' home or, due to work, she may have to move to Guangzhou to live with her in-laws.
The Zhou family made two preparations and also prepared a room for Zhou Ling and Zhou Min to live separately.
Zhou Ling is getting married after all. It wouldn't be right for Song Che to have an extra sister-in-law in the room every time he comes to stay with his wife during his vacations after they get married, would it?
Fortunately, the Zhou family only needed to build one house, unlike the Gu family who had to build a complete courtyard, so the process was a little faster.
While both families were busily building their houses, Zhou Qingyun quietly produced a landslide machine.
Zhou Qingyun pushed the hand-held tiller to his own plot of land. After turning over all the soil with a gurgling sound, he replaced some parts and suddenly it became a seeder.
This planter is obviously not suitable for planting crops like rice; it can only plant crops like corn, soybeans, or even wheat.
Even so, it opened the eyes of the Brightness Brigade.
The villagers watched the whole process from when Zhou Qingyun pushed the tiller out of his house until he had turned over all the soil in his private plot and planted all the seeds.
This thing was so incredible that it opened their eyes to a whole new world.
