Chen Suwen looked down on Qin Yunting, but Wang Hongmei thought she was just being sour grapes.
"You're just bragging. You're probably just envious of my son-in-law's good conditions. Your Zhou Ling could never find a son-in-law like mine."
"Tell me, what's the use of a girl being good at studying? Your Zhou Ling is very good at studying, she always gets first place in every exam."
"What's the point? You can't go to university, and you can't find a job. What's the use of studying so much?"
“Your Zhou Ling isn’t as lucky as my baby. Besides her good grades, she can’t compare to my baby in any other way.”
Wang Hongmei was showing off and being smug in every way.
In fact, Wang Hongmei was still envious and jealous of Chen Suwen.
Although Wang Hongmei had five sons before finally having Gu Baobao, her only daughter, she should have been able to have no reason to envy others, given how many sons she had.
Chen Suwen had three sons and two daughters, so she was clearly superior to her in every way.
Yet Chen Suwen still inspires envy and jealousy.
Her husband treats her well, never argues with her, and has never even scolded her.
Wang Hongmei's husband had hit her before. Although he hadn't hit her many times during their many years of marriage, he had hit her before.
The couple would argue, and whenever the argument got too heated, her husband would hit her. Even if she fought back, the difference in strength between men and women would put her at a disadvantage.
Chen Suwen, however, never asked such a question.
Zhou Qingyun would never lay a hand on Chen Suwen. In fact, when Chen Suwen was tired from work, he would feel sorry for his wife and ask the team leader for leave so that she wouldn't have to work.
She had never felt this way of being cherished by her husband before, and it always filled her with envy and jealousy.
She had given birth to so many sons, her position in the Gu family was so secure, and she even gave birth to the Gu family's only daughter. Her status should have been very high.
But she couldn't live as comfortably as Chen Suwen, which made her particularly dislike Chen Suwen.
She liked to compare her daughter with Chen Suwen's daughter. She was especially proud when she saw that her daughter was better than Chen Suwen's daughter in every way except for academic performance.
"Tsk, my Ah Ling is good at studying because she's smart. You illiterate person don't understand at all."
"Your Gu Baobao's grades aren't as good as my A Ling's, and now you're belittling her?"
“Speaking of your daughter Gu Baobao’s appearance, sometimes I really doubt whether she is your biological child.”
"You and your Gu Changshan aren't exactly good-looking, so how did you manage to have such a beautiful daughter? Did a bad bamboo shoot turn out to be a good one?"
Actually, Gu Baobao's appearance is the result of a genetic lottery. You can still see that she looks somewhat like her parents, and you can tell at a glance that she is their biological daughter.
But she was infinitely more beautiful than her parents.
"If you can't speak properly, don't talk nonsense. My baby is definitely my biological child. She looks so much like me, how could she not be my biological child?"
Wang Hongmei had no qualms whatsoever; her baby was definitely her own, there was no mistake.
How could her lucky baby not be her own?
"It's really strange, how could you, Wang Hongmei, a woman of such unattractive appearance, give birth to a beautiful girl?"
"Chen Su is asking you, you gossipy old woman, do you want to fight?"
"I knew you were just jealous of me! Jealous that I have so many sons, jealous that my daughter is so outstanding, isn't that it?"
“My baby is able to marry a sent-down youth from Beijing, so she will definitely become a Beijing resident in the future.”
"Your daughter can only marry a peasant from the countryside and spend her whole life toiling in the fields."
Upon hearing this, Chen Suwen narrowed her eyes slightly, looking sharply at Wang Hongmei, "Are you looking down on people from the countryside?"
"You're just a country bumpkin, how can you look down on yourself?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, your daughter will have to wait until her household registration is transferred to Beijing before you can say she's a Beijing resident."
"Who says marrying into the city automatically makes you a city dweller? Let's move your household registration over there first."
"By the way, you probably don't know this yet, but when a girl from the countryside marries into the city, her household registration still stays in the village."
"How can you call yourself a city dweller if you don't have a city household registration?"
Chen Suwen snorted coldly and also made a few sarcastic remarks about Wang Hongmei.
Do you really think that marrying into the city makes you a city person?
Qin Yunting doesn't know when he'll be able to return to the city. Although his family treats him well, he's been in the countryside for almost a year and there's still no news. Who knows if his family plans to keep him from returning to the city until 1977?
People in this era naturally have many children, and Chen Suwen doesn't believe that Qin Yunting's family only has one child.
With more children, there will inevitably be areas where we can't take care of them.
He's already been sent to Guangming Brigade as an educated youth, so who knows if his family has already poured resources into his brothers or cousins?
Gu Baobao is indeed lucky, but that doesn't mean her luck is so extraordinary that every good thing comes her way.
For example, in many stories about lucky babies, if a lucky baby has someone she doesn't like or someone offends her, she will basically suffer bad luck.
However, Gu Baobao did not have this condition.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Zhou. Ah Ting and I are not at the point of marriage yet. It's too early to talk about household registration."
While Chen Suwen and Wang Hongmei were arguing, Gu Baobao came over at some point and stood next to her mother, talking to Chen Suwen.
She still had the innocent charm of someone who had been pampered, but when facing Chen Suwen, she was able to refute her words clearly and logically.
“I am very grateful for Aunt Zhou’s concern for me, but I am definitely my parents’ biological child.”
"I won't trouble Aunt Zhou with my affairs."
Chen Suwen looked at Gu Baobao. This little girl, who was so spoiled by her family that she was almost unable to take care of herself, was quite mature now.
She looked at Gu Baobao, who was standing in front of her mother in a protective posture, and couldn't help but smile. "Okay, your Gu family and our Zhou family are just in the same brigade."
"I don't have time to meddle in your family's affairs. Do whatever you want."
"As long as your mom doesn't come to me all the time to show off, I can't be bothered with you or your mom."
"By the way, I wish you and that Qin educated youth a long and happy life together, and I hope you get married smoothly."
Chen Suwen wasn't worried about whether Qin Yunting's family would accept her. This girl was lucky; the man she found would probably spoil her unconditionally, and her in-laws would definitely dote on her too.
As for being bullied by her in-laws, things like mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships or sister-in-law relationships, these shouldn't exist for a "lucky baby" like Gu Baobao.
"Fu Bao" has always had a smooth life and doesn't encounter many setbacks. Her biggest frustration is probably worrying about what to eat today.
Chen Suwen ignored Wang Hongmei and Gu Baobao and left pushing the stroller.
Xu Pan'er watched the commotion from the sidelines, and when she saw Chen Suwen leave, she followed him eagerly.
Oh my, the banter between Chen Suwen and Wang Hongmei just now was really exciting, she thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
