"Second Sister-in-law Guo, what's wrong with you, all angry? Who upset you?"
"Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, it's not good to get angry."
Hearing their words, Guo Ersao became even angrier; today's events had been incredibly frustrating.
So what if your family has five students at Xiamen University? Why are you so proud of it?
They look down on this and that. I'll see what kind of person they can find.
Although she was angry, Guo Ersao didn't want to be laughed at, after all, it wasn't something to be proud of.
"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell on the way. It's nothing serious. I'm going home to cook."
"Oh dear, Sister-in-law Guo, please slow down! It's so slippery in this snowy weather."
"By the way, I heard last time that Aunt Wang went to Jianjun's family to propose marriage, but in the end they didn't agree."
"Second Sister-in-law Guo, you have such a good relationship with Jianjun's family, is what they said true?"
"How would I know? I didn't even ask. Okay, you guys chat, I'm going back now."
"You guys should go back first. It's so windy outside. Aren't you cold chatting here?"
Guo Ersao was already in a bad mood, and their question only made her more annoyed, so she didn't speak to them politely.
They rolled their eyes at Guo Ersao as she walked away.
“Hey, she was fine just now, why did she get angry as soon as Jianjun was mentioned? You can’t let her be mistreated at Jianjun’s house anymore.”
"I don't think so. Tingting and the others aren't that kind of people, are they?"
"Look, she gets upset as soon as we mention Aunt Wang's matter."
"Why don't we go and ask around? I'm curious too."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to cook. If you find out anything, just let me know."
"Okay, I'll go ask around. I need to get this straight."
Guo Ersao returned home with a heavy heart, in an extremely bad mood. She even ignored her youngest son, whom she usually loved the most.
"Mom, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"You should go read a book; you're so useless."
"Mom, I want to go play for a while today. I saw that Little Fatty and the others went."
"What are you playing? All you know is playing. If you were even half as good as Jianjun's Qiuqiu, I would accept it. You two are about the same age, how come you are so different now?"
"Where's the broom? I'll let you play with it," he said, getting up to go find it.
Seeing his mother looking for a broom and his father not being home, Guo Dabao was so frightened that he got up and ran away.
If I run too late, I'm sure I'll get a beating from the broom today. I'd better hurry and go find Dad.
"You dare to run? You stop right there and wait for me. I'll teach you a lesson for being so cocky, all you can think about is going out to play."
"I'm going to find my dad," Guo Dabao said as he ran quickly.
"Looking for your dad, let's see if my broom is faster, or if your dad comes back first."
To be fair, Guo Dabao is quite clever. Since he didn't know where his father was, he decided to go see his grandparents first.
Grandpa and Grandma are the ones who spoil me the most, so it's settled.
Guo Dabao changed direction and ran towards his grandparents.
"Grandma, Grandma, open the door quickly."
"Why are you here, Da Bao? It's so cold and you're wearing so little."
"Grandma, my mother is here with a broom. Grandma, you have to help me."
"Did you get into some trouble? Your mother is chasing after you. She usually dotes on you."
"Grandma, I really didn't make Mom angry. Today, when Mom came back from my third uncle's place, she had a long face."
"I only asked her one question, and my mother started looking for a broom."
"Alright, you stay here then. When your mother arrives, I'll ask her what's going on."
"Okay, milk."
"Old man, is he angry with Jianjun? Why would he come back like this?"
"Looks like it, they never stop for a day."
"Mother, where is Guo Dabao? I think he ran here."
“He’s right here. It’s so cold outside, and he ran here without even wearing a cotton-padded coat.”
"You're such a careless mother. Alright, you two have been chasing each other for so long, take a break and have some hot water."
"Guo Dabao, come back with me in a bit, you hear me? You think I won't know if you hide?"
"Mom, I want to stay at Grandma's house tonight. I don't want to go back."
"Second brother's wife, let Da Bao stay here tonight. What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
"No, it's not that. Da Bao doesn't study hard enough. Compared to Jianjun's Qiu Qiu, he's far behind."
“The second son’s family, people are different. The third son’s family has this talent, and our eldest son also has his own strengths.”
"How can you compare them? You're wrong to think that way."
“What’s wrong with this? These are all Guo family children. How come mine are worse than theirs? How come they look down on us just because they are capable?”
“What’s this all about? How did Jianjun and the others look down on you? Have you forgotten how much stuff they gave you when you were in postpartum confinement? It was so hard to buy back then.”
“Even now, they might not be able to afford to eat, why don’t you remember the good things about them?”
“Mom, I remember all the good things Jianjun and the others did for us, but now that they’re successful, they’ve forgotten all about us.”
