Chapter 279 Gu Bei's Treat
"Congratulations, Old Gu, congratulations on your grandson passing the entrance exam. From now on, your Gu family will have a new life.
Don’t forget us old friends when you become rich.” Gu Chongshan’s hunter friend came to the house with a gift.
"Hahaha, no, no, this is all due to the child's own hard work." Gu Chongshan greeted with a smile.
The house was very lively today, and Gu Chongshan invited all the relatives and friends.
Knowing that Gu Chongshan's grandson passed the examination and ranked quite well, everyone came with gifts out of respect.
Today, Li Yingdi has changed from her usual decadent appearance, put on her best clothes, and mingled with her relatives and friends.
"Yingdi, you are so lucky. Your son is so hardworking. You will enjoy a happy life in the future."
"Yes, Yingdi is lucky to have given birth to a good son. From now on, all we have to do is wait and enjoy our happiness."
"Hahaha, everyone, have some candy and melon seeds. I fried these pine nuts myself." Li Yingdi happily brought them snacks.
"Hmph, what's the use of having a good son? It's still because you couldn't keep your man." In this festive atmosphere, a discordant voice rang out.
The person who spoke was Zhang Dahua's niece-in-law.
"Xiao Cao, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten what your mother-in-law said when you came here?" Her sister-in-law next to her pulled her and said warningly.
Then he said to Li Yingdi, "I'm sorry, second cousin, but I, your sister-in-law, am confused. Please don't bother with her."
Li Yingdi was indeed angry. Being abandoned by Gu Bei was her greatest shame and the deepest pain in her heart.
If it weren't for her son, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Today is a great day for her son, and Qi Xiaocao, that bitch, is trying to make trouble for her. How can she not hate her?
But today is his son's big day, so even if he is angry, he has to hold it in.
Thinking of this, Li Yingdi forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I don't mind."
"Well, let me just say that what we women hope for in our lives is for our sons to be successful, right?
We will depend on our son for the rest of our lives. It's the same whether we have a man or not." Seeing the tense atmosphere, Aunt Gu smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, what does it mean to be a man? Having a good son is better than anything else.
When Zhiwen becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination, Yingdi will be the old lady."
"That's right, that's right. I think some people are jealous that Yingdi has a good son."
"Second cousin's wife is so lucky..."
After Gu Xiaogu smoothed things over, the atmosphere became lively again.
After all, no one wants to offend the mother of a future scholar.
Li Yingdi also put Qi Xiaocao behind her mind and started greeting everyone again.
Only Qi Xiaocao's sister-in-law glared at her fiercely.
Thinking of the advice my mother-in-law gave me before I came here, I felt a pang of bitterness in my heart.
The mother-in-law wanted her youngest daughter to marry Zhiwen, so that the two families would be closer. When Zhiwen became successful in the future, he could also help the other boys in the family.
The mother-in-law said this in front of the family. The father-in-law and the husband in the family also agreed.
Because the mother-in-law was talking about her youngest daughter, Qi Xiaocao, the second sister-in-law, became angry.
Because Qi Xiaocao's daughter is only one year younger than her daughter, if they get engaged, their age is suitable.
But since my mother-in-law chose her daughter, it must be because her daughter is good, unlike my second brother's wife's daughter.
At such a young age, she looks exactly like her mother, just as sarcastic and short-sighted.
It was because the mother-in-law rejected the request of the second brother and sister-in-law that Qi Xiaocao spoke rudely just now.
She was afraid that Li Yingdi would hold a grudge against Qi Xiaocao for what she had just said and would not agree to marry into their family.
But she had to try no matter what. After all, if her daughter married Zhiwen, they would also benefit.
Thinking of this, she smiled apologetically and said, "Yingdi, Zhiwen is twelve years old this year, right? It's time for him to get married at this age, right?"
"Oh, about this matter? The child is still young, there's no need to rush." Li Yingdi knew what his cousin's wife was planning as soon as he heard it.
Her son is now a Tongsheng, and as long as he works harder, he will definitely become a scholar.
Her son is so promising, how could he possibly marry the daughter of an ordinary family?
Although Li Yingdi didn't say it directly, everyone who understood knew that this was Li Yingdi's implicit rejection.
But Xiuhong (Uncle Gubei's eldest daughter-in-law) was unwilling to give up and said, "Why not rush? I think now is the perfect time to get engaged.
Yingdi, your cousin's wife is doing this for your own good. You are now taking care of your aunt in the mountains, and Zhiwen is usually taken care of by Dong Wan when he is studying outside.
How can the relationship between two people be bad if they get along for a long time?
What would you do if Dong Wan encourages Gu Bei to find someone who has a good relationship with Zhiwen to get engaged to?
By then, what will you have to do with their family of four?
It will be different if you marry my Xiaoni. You and I have always had a close relationship, and Xiaoni also likes you as her cousin.
I will definitely be on the same page with you in the future. With Xiao Ni around, you don't have to worry about Zhiwen being seduced by that bitch Dong Wan.
When Xiaoni and Zhiwen have children in the future, you should stay at home and take care of them like a grandmother.
Think about it carefully. Isn't marrying our Xiao Ni better than the one Dong Wan finds? At least Xiao Ni is on the same page with you."
Needless to say, Xiuhong is still very good at talking, at least she convinced Li Yingdi.
Li Yingkan is not stupid. She knows that the reason why Wang Xiuhong wants to get close to her is because she has a crush on her Zhiwen.
Deep down, Li Yingdi looked down on Xiaoni.
But Xiuhong was right in one thing. Zhiwen is now studying in town every day and spends more time with Dong Wan.
If her son was seduced by that bitch Dong Wan, she would cry her heart out.
And Xiuhong was right. If Dong Wan found a wife for Zhiwen who shared the same ideals as her, she would have no good life in the future.
Thinking of this, Bai Nianqing's originally resolute words showed a hint of hesitation: "Let me discuss this matter with my husband first."
Xiuhong saw that there was a way, and quickly continued: "Ying, are you stupid? Gu Bei is now on the same page with Dong Wan.
If you tell him, then Dong Wan will know too, right?
But I saw that Dong Wan’s family members also came and were talking to Zhiwen just now.
At that time, Dong Wan's sister-in-law was also holding a girl, so be careful that Zhiwen falls into the Dong family's trap."
Li Ying was indeed anxious when she heard this: "Cousin, did you really see the Dong family talking to Zhiwen?"
"Of course it's true, I also noticed that your daughter's eyes were not right when she looked at Zhiwen.
I'm afraid the Dong family has also started to have feelings for Zhiwen," Xiuhong said.
"No, no, Zhiwen is my son, he absolutely cannot marry the daughter of the Dong family." Li Yingdi murmured to himself.
