After all, the Gu family is an existence they cannot afford to offend.
Pulling out a single hair could crush them.
Mother Liu looked at Chen Yunshu on the steps, her eyes rolling around.
If her beloved son married the granddaughter of the Shen family, it would mean that the property and resources of the Shen and Lin families would eventually belong to their Liu family.
With the help of the Gu family, it will be just a matter of time before the Liu family gains a foothold in Beijing.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Mrs. Liu became. She wished she could give the betrothal gift right then and there and bring her precious precious gem, Shen Yunshu, home.
At this moment, Gu Jiuyan, whose eyes were full of Shen Yunshu, didn't know that his wife was being targeted by someone right under his nose.
"Granddaughter of the Shen family, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, let your brother Tianming avenge you." Mother Liu's face, which was wrinkled like old tree bark, now smiled like a carnivorous plant.
She was almost certain about this marriage.
They were neighbors who had seen each other for many years, and Mother Gu guessed at a glance what Mother Liu was thinking.
She wants to compete with the Gu family for their daughter-in-law and live her life to the fullest.
"That's not necessary. Shushu is protected by our Gu family. Anyone who dares to bully Shushu is going against our Gu family." After saying this, Mother Gu turned to look at Gu Jiuyan and said, "Son, take good care of Shushu in the future. If you dare to bully her, I will peel off your skin. Do you hear me?"
Gu Jiuyan stared at Jiang Yunshu on the stage and said cooperatively, "Mom, I'll listen to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard fell silent again. Some smart people figured out that there was something wrong with these words, and looked back and forth between Jiang Yunshu and Gu Jiuyan.
Looking at the intense gazes on and off the stage, they instantly understood that there was a story between the granddaughter of the Shen family and Gu Jiuyan.
The marriage between the Shen family and the Gu family is a case of strengthening the strong. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Shen Yunshu with a little more respect, and said nice words as if they were free.
Liu's mother looked like she hadn't eaten for three days. She just focused on eating the pig's trotters. As for what Gu's mother had just said, she ignored it.
The Shen family was very generous. In addition to the delicious food on the table, they also prepared good wine and cigarettes, and the neighbors were enjoying the food to their heart's content.
"Shushu, how does it taste?" Gu Jiuyan picked up a chicken foot that was stewed until it was soft and boneless and put it in Shen Yunshu's bowl.
"It tastes better than what Wan Xinyu cooked." Shen Yunshu couldn't stop eating.
The state banquet-level chef is really good at cooking. When she has money in the future, she will hire a chef like this to prepare three meals a day for her.
Seeing that the little girl liked eating so much, Gu Jiuyan instantly had an idea in his mind.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, the neighbors stayed to help clean up. Lin Zhiyi distributed the extra dishes to everyone.
After all the guests had left, Grandma Gu and Mother Gu took out their gifts and gave them to Shen Yunshu.
It was heavy, very heavy, and wrapped in red cloth.
Before Shen Yunshu could refuse, Grandma Gu said, "Shushu, this is a token of our elders' kindness. You can't refuse it."
Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit rude for Shen Yunshu to refuse.
"Grandma Gu, Aunt Gu, thank you."
Mother Gu held Shen Yunshu's hand and said affectionately: "Silly girl, why are you so distant with us? Aunt Gu likes you so much."
Shen Yunshu said quite obediently: "I like Aunt Gu too."
This one sentence made Gu's mother so happy that she was at a loss as to what to do. When she returned home, she was still grinning from ear to ear.
Father Gu joked, "If you like Shushu so much, then marry her into your family sooner rather than later."
Mother Gu complained, "I would like to, but your son is not up to the standard."
Mr. Gu, you keep bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic. Shut up!
Shen Yunshu went back to the house and opened the gift that the Gu family gave her. After seeing what was inside, she was shocked.
The other people in the room had the same reaction as Shen Yunshu, thinking that the Gu family was being too generous.
The aged ginseng in the box alone would be hard to find even if you had money these days, not to mention the two stacks of money wrapped in red cloth.
There were two thick stacks of money, estimated to be several hundred yuan. No one in the neighborhood would need so much money to marry off their daughter.
Shen Yunshu felt that the thing in her hand was a little hot. She looked up at the stunned crowd and said, "This thing is too valuable. Otherwise, I should send it back."
Old Mrs. Lin came to her senses and said, "The Gu family gave it to you sincerely, so just keep it."
“But this is too expensive… Gu Jiuyan just gave me a ginseng some time ago…” There were so many good things that Shen Yunshu felt a little guilty about holding them.
Everyone was shocked by Shen Yunshu's words again. The Gu family had ginseng at hand, and those who didn't know would think it was worthless cabbage.
But the fact that they often send ginseng and money to her shows that the Gu family really likes Shushu. If Shushu really marries into the Gu family in the future, she will not suffer any grievances.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi and the others felt much happier. Shushu would get married sooner or later, and it would be perfect for her to marry someone who knew her well, who was loved by her parents-in-law and spoiled by her husband.
Obviously, Gu Jiuyan is the best choice.
Through these days of getting along, Gu Jiuyan took Shushu to heart and put Shushu first in everything. Lin Zhiyi and the others saw it.
Even Shen Baichuan, who had always been prejudiced against Gu Jiuyan, couldn't find any fault with him this time.
Finally, under everyone's persuasion, Shen Yunshu accepted the things that the Gu family gave her.
On the other side, Liu's mother returned home and called her lazy son out of bed.
Liu Tianming, who was still half asleep, hung his head and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, please speak up. Don't disturb my sleep. I have something else to do tonight."
Mother Liu said excitedly: "Son, I have found a good wife for you. As long as you marry her, our Liu family will be rich."
Liu Tianming said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, why are you hysterical in broad daylight? You know that I have a girlfriend. My girlfriend is the daughter of the director of the steel plant."
It took him two full months to finally get the girl. He only had one step left. By then, even if his father-in-law looked down on him, he would still consider his daughter's reputation.
Once he marries her, it will be up to him to take possession of his father-in-law's family property.
"What I'm telling you this time is even better than the daughter of the director of the steel plant."
Hearing his mother say this, Liu Tianming instantly became interested: "Mom, are you serious?"
Mother Liu was not angry either. She smiled and said, "I am your biological mother. How could I possibly cheat you? You should have heard about the granddaughter that the Shen family just found."
These days, Liu Tianming is busy chasing women, and he really doesn't know about what his mother said.
Seeing that her son didn't know, Liu's mother hurriedly said, "The granddaughter of the Shen family is very delicate and tender, and her appearance is much better than your current partner.
The point is, she is the only one in the Chen and Lin families. If you marry her in the future, the property of the Chen and Lin families will belong to our Liu family."
