However, Gu Cheng only dared to think so in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
When Gu Jinchen walked into the ward, Mr. Pei winked at him.
"You're finally here, little brat."
Gu Jinchen placed the gift he brought on the table. He treated Pei's mother with a serious attitude. "Mom, I've been busy with work so I haven't had time to come and see you."
Mother Pei no longer had any expectations for her son-in-law. After what happened to Lu Zhicheng before, she didn't look at Gu Jinchen in a good mood anymore.
"Okay, you've worked hard. You can go back first. Work is more important."
Gu Jinchen was originally planning to leave seriously, but was glared at by Old Man Gu.
He suddenly paused and coughed, "I'm accompanying Qing Huan."
Old Master Gu said with a smile, "It's just right, you two young couples can go wash some fruit and cultivate your relationship..."
Gu Jinchen didn't even think about it, "I'll go take a shower, you stay here with your mother."
After saying that, he took a basket of fruits, turned around and went to wash them himself.
Leaving behind a bewildered old man, Gu, was this brat so stubborn! He had asked Gu Jinchen and his beloved granddaughter-in-law to wash the fruit to cultivate their relationship. What good was that for him to wash the fruit himself?
"You little brat."
Old Master Gu cursed, then went to look for his grandson with a dark face and a cane.
While Gu Jinchen and Old Man Gu were leaving, Mother Pei grabbed Pei Qinghuan.
"You should be more careful in the future. Don't be like your sister. I'm afraid of sons-in-law like Lu Zhicheng."
"Also, why don't you put the money you earn with your sister? It's not safe this way. You have your husband now, who knows what he's up to? If you don't put it with your sister, you can put it with Mom."
When Pei Qinghuan heard the first sentence, she originally thought that Pei Ma was thinking about her, but when she heard the second sentence, her face became a little stiff.
"Mom, is that what you think? I'm an adult, and I know how to handle my money."
Pei Qinghuan looked at her seriously, and Pei's mother's face darkened instantly. "You're so easy to be deceived. I'm doing this for your own good. What if your husband swindles you out of your money? Men can't be trusted these days. It's better for you to give it to me for safekeeping."
Pei Qinghuan and Pei Ma spoke in a low voice, but it still attracted the attention of Old Mrs. Pei next to them, who came over impatiently.
"Qing Huan, was that your husband just now? Grandma has told you so many times that you can't marry someone who only has a good look. He needs money to give you a good life. Also, when are you going to transfer the money to me for what Grandma just said?"
Pei Qinghuan paused for a moment and said, "Grandma, I can't agree to the road construction and borrowing money."
Mrs. Pei, who had just looked impatient, suddenly changed her expression.
"You don't agree?! Qing Huan, you are our daughter, why are you like this now? You are so disloyal. This is for the good of our village. How could you do this?!"
Seeing this, Mother Pei no longer wanted to pretend. She chimed in, "How can we let Qing Huan pay for this? This won't benefit us! If we borrow once, there will be a second time!"
"What do you mean by first or second time? How can you say such harsh words? We're all neighbors, so what's wrong with helping each other? It won't be like that. Qing Huan, are you my granddaughter?"
Old Mrs. Pei was a little angry.
This concerns her face!
Before she came, she promised that her granddaughter would be able to pay for it. Now Pei Qinghuan kept saying that she would not pay for it. How could she respond?
"Grandma, I said I can't pay. No matter what you say, I won't pay. This kind of thing can't..."
As soon as Pei Qinghuan finished speaking, Old Mrs. Pei suddenly sat down on the ground.
"You two! You want to see me embarrassed, don't you? I've already told everyone in the village! I said you would pay, and the village chief was happy. Now you want me to go back and say no? How can I save my face?"
"Well, since you two are in cahoots and refuse to pay, then I, an old woman, will use my own pension money! That's fine!"
Old Mrs. Pei glared at them angrily.
Pei Qinghuan was also dumbfounded. She knew that her grandmother was proud and a little concerned about reputation, but she didn't expect her to be so concerned about reputation.
"Grandma! Can't you just refuse them? If you don't dare to refuse, I can help you refuse them. They are just relatives in the village."
Pei Qinghuan frowned and pretended to make a phone call.
Mrs. Pei was anxious. "Why are you calling? I can just give my pension money to the village myself. I'm not as stingy as you two!"
"No calling! No calling!"
Mother Pei couldn't help but get anxious. "Stop arguing, Mom! Just let Qing Huan make the call. Then you can say that Qing Huan is an ignorant child and you don't have to apologize in person."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Pei stammered and shut up, but her eyes were still fixed on the phone in Pei Qinghuan's hand.
