Father Gu said, "Daughter-in-law, it's all up to you."
Naturally, he has to pamper his little wife.
"When we return to Beijing, we'll start arranging and preparing everything we need. My precious daughter-in-law must have everything that others have, and she must also have everything that others don't have."
"You have the final say. You are the boss at home."
"Like three turns and one ring, and seventy-two legs, I'll find someone to buy them when I get home. And as for the betrothal gift, Aunt Wang next door gave one hundred and sixty-six to marry her daughter-in-law, but we only have Jiuyan as our only child, so we'll give nine hundred and ninety-nine to make it auspicious, meaning that they'll be together forever.
Before I got married, I kept all the boxes of dowry my parents gave me. I'll put them in as a gift when the time comes, including jade bracelets, gold hairpins, and so on. Shushu will probably like them."
Gu's mother knew the people in the alley too well. Not only did they despise the poor and favor the rich, but they also treated their daughter-in-law differently based on his or her social status. So she had to make a big show of herself from the beginning and give her daughter-in-law enough respect.
This way everyone will know that Jiang Yunshu is the good daughter-in-law that their Gu family has prayed for, and is the treasure that their Gu family holds in their hands. Others dare not bully her at will.
Father Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't it too early to prepare? After all, they just got together."
Gu's mother retorted on the spot: "It's too late. Marriage is the most important event in life. It only happens once in a lifetime. If you really wait until the critical moment of marriage to prepare, it will be too late.
Uncle Hu's carpentry skills are the best, passed down from generation to generation. I feel safe leaving this furniture to him, but Uncle Hu hasn't worked for several years, so I don't know if I can hire him back."
Father Gu couldn't bear to see his wife worried, so he patted his chest and promised: "Wife, I have a way with Uncle Hu, leave it to me, you just need to tell me what style to make."
Seeing that the problem that had been bothering her was solved, Mother Gu was as happy as a child who had received candy, with her eyes curved in a smile.
The look in Father Gu's eyes when he looked at her was so gentle that it could drown her.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu bought too many things today, so they simply hired an ox cart to take them back. The cart was full of things and attracted everyone's attention as soon as it arrived at the team.
"Isn't this someone from our team? Could he be someone's relative coming to visit?" After saying this, Old Lady Yang spat a mouthful of old phlegm on the ground. Not minding the dirt, she rubbed it with her feet, her eyes fixed on the ox cart that was going away.
She clearly smelled meat just now.
Widow Wang curled her lips and said, "Our brigade is so poor, let alone relatives, even my own mother would run away if she saw him. How could he be a relative of our brigade?"
Seeing the two arguing endlessly, the jealous Li Caixia suggested, "Why don't we just follow them and see for ourselves?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they quickly gained everyone's consent. They hurriedly put down their work and chased after to take a look. Unexpectedly, they saw the ox cart parked in front of Jiang Yunshu's house.
Li Caixia said, "Could it be Jiang Zhiqing's family coming to visit her?"
Widow Wang said firmly, "Impossible. Yang Zhiqing, who came with Jiang Zhiqing, said that all of Jiang Zhiqing's family members have died, and only Jiang Zhiqing is left."
"If they are not family members, then who are they?"
Several people were whispering to each other. Mother Gu, who was directing her husband to work, heard the noise and came over to greet them.
Seeing that she was easy to talk to, Li Caixia boldly asked, "Big sister, who are you to Jiang Zhiqing? Why haven't we seen you before, nor have we heard Jiang Zhiqing mention you?"
Mother Gu said with a smile: "My son, Gu Jiuyan, is dating Shushu. We missed Shushu so much that we drove over here."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was the parents-in-law who came to see their daughter-in-law. Looking at the material of her clothes and her overall temperament, it was not difficult to guess that Gu Jiuyan's family was very rich.
Not only did Jiang Zhiqing not die after falling into the water, but he also ended up in Fuwowo. For a moment, other people whose families had unmarried daughters felt jealous.
They also want such a good in-law family.
"Shushu is here alone. Thanks to you for taking care of her. I want to thank you on behalf of my Jiuyan."
Mother Gu, who is a very nice person, distributed the bag of White Rabbit milk candy that she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative today to everyone.
White Rabbit milk candies are a rarity these days, and people on the team are reluctant to spend money to buy them. But when they saw Mother Gu giving everyone two pieces of White Rabbit milk candies, their mouths became as sweet as honey, and they kept saying nice things.
Widow Wang, clutching two pieces of candy in her hand, hated to see others living better than her. She said in a sour tone, "Sister, you're the only one who can be happy about picking up a pair of worn-out shoes that no one else wants."
As soon as these words were spoken, the lively atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, and everyone's eyes were focused on Widow Wang.
Does Widow Wang want to die? She speaks ill of Jiang Zhiqing in front of his future mother-in-law. Isn't she afraid that Jiang Zhiqing will throw her into the river?
"What can you say about my daughter-in-law? If you say anything more, I will tear your mouth apart." Mother Gu snatched the candy from Widow Wang's hand angrily. She would rather give the candy to a dog than to this mean-mouthed woman.
Seeing the candy in her hand being snatched away, the already unhappy Widow Wang became even angrier: "I am telling the truth. Your daughter-in-law had a boyfriend before, but later she met your son and dumped him to climb up the social ladder. She is now with your son.
She has the nerve to do it, so I have the nerve to say that it is she who is shameless."
The word "shameless" completely angered Gu's mother. The daughter-in-law that the Gu family had been waiting for so long would not be scolded by others.
