It was obvious that Shen Yunshu was holding on to this question. Seeing that Gu's mother had not spoken, she asked it again without getting tired of it.
Mother Gu wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but when she met her daughter-in-law's eyes full of curiosity, she gave up decisively.
"Your grandmother and I asked someone to find a few suitable girls for him, but he didn't want to see them. Later, he was scared by us and didn't come back for the New Year.
Seeing that people his age were already fathers, your grandmother was so anxious that she was fuming. She pretended to be sick and tricked him into coming home for a blind date. He did come back, but that same night, when we weren't paying attention, he jumped out the window and ran away, leaving us pissed off. Later, he suddenly called home to say he'd found a partner. Your father and I were so happy we couldn't sleep all night.
"At that time, Gu Jiuyan and I had just started dating, and I was afraid you wouldn't like me."
The Gu family is either rich or noble, while she is just an orphan who went to the countryside. The gap between their identities and family backgrounds is too great. She was deeply poisoned by novels and felt that the life of the rich was miserable. Who would have thought that she would pick up a treasure.
Her parents-in-law loved her like their own daughter, not to mention her husband Gu Jiuyan. He would never dare to go west if asked to do so, and he would give all his monthly allowance to her without keeping a single cent.
Mother Gu said anxiously: "How could it be, our whole family loves you so much that your grandmother and I even secretly ran to the countryside to look for you, but we didn't ask clearly and went to the wrong place.
That little girl has the same name and surname as you, and is the same age. We only realized we had the wrong person when we returned from the countryside. Jiuyan showed us your photo. You were a beauty like a fairy, and we loved you so much."
Shen Yunshu was a little surprised: "Is there such a thing? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"Why bring up such trivial matters?" In fact, it was embarrassing, and Mother Gu was too embarrassed to speak up.
Even his own daughter-in-law can admit her mistake. If I tell others about it, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Grandpa Gu and Father Gu came back together. Grandpa Gu was holding an old hen weighing four or five pounds in his hand.
Grandpa Gu, eager to show off, came to Shen Yunshu with the old hen with its legs tied.
"Granddaughter-in-law, I asked someone to buy this for you. Tomorrow, ask your grandma to make you some chicken soup. You're weak and need some nourishment."
Weak? Shen Yunshu was strong enough to kill a cow, but facing the kindness of the old man in the family, she still politely said thank you.
Grandpa Gu happily ran to the kitchen to look for his wife. When he saw a figure in the kitchen, he said enthusiastically, "Wan's boy, what brings you here today?"
"Any wind can bring me here. If I come here more often in the future, please don't think I'm annoying."
"You're just a chatterbox. I wish you'd come here every day." The cooking skills of the Wan family kid are amazing. He starts drooling just by smelling the food.
Today is another day of good food.
Grandpa Gu drove Grandma Gu out of the kitchen and called his son who was lazy in the yard to help.
Three men were crowded in the small kitchen, busy as hell. Grandpa Gu, unable to resist the aroma, secretly pinched a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth while no one was paying attention.
The chicken just out of the pot was a little hot, but he was reluctant to spit it out, so he chewed it quickly and swallowed it.
Father Gu came forward with a smug look on his face: "Dad, were you just cheating?"
Grandpa Gu immediately denied it with a guilty conscience: "Bullshit, why would I eat secretly? I always eat openly."
"Isn't my father you?" Gu's father's mouth was almost turned out to be outside the Pacific Ocean. It was the first time he encountered someone scolding himself.
Grandpa Gu: “…”
If I had known that giving birth to him would only make me angry, I should have stuffed him back after he was born.
"Next time you eat something secretly, wipe your mouth clean." After saying this, Father Gu ran away quickly.
Grandpa Gu, who was standing there, was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking with anger: "Unfilial son..."
In his rage, he did not forget to take out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his mouth clean, but the handkerchief was clean. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled by that bad boy.
Unable to bear it any longer, Grandpa Gu rushed outside to settle the score with Gu's father.
Wan Xinyu looked out the window with envy. At this moment, he looked like a thief coveting other people's happiness.
Father Gu is protected by Grandma Gu, and Grandpa Gu has no way to deal with him. Just when the father and son are in a stalemate, the last dish of flavored eggplant comes out of the pot.
Shen Yunshu and Gu's mother, who had been starving due to the aroma from the kitchen, had already washed their hands and sat at the dining table.
Grandma Gu was worried that her granddaughter-in-law would be hungry, so she quickly stopped the father and son from their childish behavior.
"Eat first, then you can make trouble after dinner."
The father and son, who had been waiting for this sentence, took the opportunity to step down and ran to eat.
The stewed chicken with mushrooms is very tasty, and it also contains dried beans and vermicelli. Every bite is soaked in soup, and it is so spicy that you want a second bite after taking one.
Even though Grandma Gu doesn't like spicy food, she ate a lot. Grandpa Gu was so happy with the meal that he even took out the fine wine he had specially collected under his bed to share with everyone.
As a pregnant woman, Shen Yunshu was not among those who drank alcohol.
Grandpa Gu, who was drunk, grabbed Wan Xinyu's hand. Just as he was about to speak, he burped one after another.
Wan Xinyu had never seen such a scene before. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He couldn't pull his clenched hands out. He looked at Shen Yunshu for help.
Shen Yunshu, who only had food in his eyes, was busy eating at the moment, so he missed Wan Xinyu's call for help.
After six glasses of wine, Grandpa Gu, who had become drunk, muttered: "You kid, remember to come to our house often in the future and treat the Gu family as your own home. If you don't mind, I can be your grandfather."
Grandma Gu couldn't bear to watch. The old man even acknowledged his grandson just for a bite of food.
The Wan family has only one grandson, and the old man of the Wan family treasures him very much. If he knew that someone was targeting his grandson, he would probably pick up a weapon and beat the person up.
"I'll do whatever you say. You have the final say." Wan Xinyu looked bitter.
He swore that next time, he would never sit in front of Mr. Gu.
He was scared.
Grandpa Gu was satisfied and drank another glass of wine. The next second, he was so drunk that he fell on the dining table in front of everyone.
"Never mind him, let's continue eating." Grandma Gu said.
The meal lasted until it was dark.
Before Wan Xinyu reached home, he saw two people standing at the door from afar. It was too late for him to run away now, as his mother had already brought people to catch up with him.
If Gu Jiuyan were there, he would definitely be able to recognize who the girl next to Wan Mu was.
Wan Xinyu said with a hopeless look on his face: "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"It's not even seven o'clock yet, why should I go to bed so early?" After saying this, Wan's mother pushed Zhang Beibei next to her forward and said, "Bei girl has been waiting for you at home for a long time. While it's not too late, you two can talk."
Before Wan Xinyu could refuse, the shrewd mother slipped back home.
Leaving behind Wan Xinyu with a reluctant face and Zhang Beibei with fiery eyes.
