Seeing that Gu Linyuan and Lin Yanke's faces darkened, and Gu Yunzheng glaring at her, Liu Xiuli dared not speak again.
"Mom and Dad, I didn't think it through enough."
Although she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law was unreasonable, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao rarely came back, so she couldn't afford to cause any unpleasantness.
"Zhaozhao, try this braised pork trotter."
Ye Zhaozhao knew that this was Lin Yanke's specialty dish, so she immediately picked up a piece with her chopsticks.
"Mom, it's delicious."
"If you like it, eat more."
Lin Yanke was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Ye Zhaozhao, and even her son found her agreeable now.
Liu Xiuli thought to herself, "These two are really biased. Why don't they make braised pig's trotters for me every time I come?"
Everyone except Liu Xiuli enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, Zhu Lin volunteered to wash the dishes, and Lin Yanke let her do so.
The second son's wife was diligent, so Ye Zhaozhao went to help. Liu Xiuli and Gu Yunzheng sat in the living room, while Gu Jingzhou took Gu Jingshan to see Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
"Zhaozhao, if your sister-in-law says anything to you, don't take it to heart."
"It's alright, Second Sister-in-law."
Seeing that Zhu Lin wanted to say something more, Ye Zhaozhao told her to say whatever she wanted, since they were all family. Zhu Lin also disliked Liu Xiuli, but she had kept quiet before because she was concerned about Gu Yunxiao.
“My parents don’t really like my sister-in-law, and Yunxiao and I also find her annoying.”
Ye Zhaozhao thought to herself, "This Liu Xiuli is really something. She managed to make everyone dislike her all by herself. Zhu Lin has a lot to say but nowhere to say it."
Now that they've finally managed to get together with Ye Zhaozhao, they've been talking more and more.
"Zhaozhao, let me tell you, even the marriage of my brother-in-law was a scheme she plotted."
"A calculated scheme?"
Zhu Lin then told Ye Zhaozhao what happened back then. At that time, Gu Yunzheng and a girl from the same village as Liu Xiuli had feelings for each other.
Before Gu Yunzheng could express his feelings, Liu Xiuli, seeing that he was a soldier, pretended to fall into the water. Of course, Gu Yunzheng couldn't just stand by and watch without saving her.
After saving the person, Gu Yunzheng was also clung to by Liu Xiuli. The villagers pointed and gossiped about Gu Yunzheng, as they were ignorant and did not know that he had done it to save someone.
Liu Xiuli was still crying and begging him to take responsibility, but Gu Yunzheng wasn't the type to give in so easily. He left Liu Xiuli, apologized to the girl he liked, and then returned to Kyoto.
Unexpectedly, a month later, Liu Xiuli and her mother came to the door again. Their first plan failed, so they came up with another, threatening to sue Gu Yunzheng for indecent assault.
The incident involving the mother and daughter caused quite a stir in the compound, and everyone knew about it. In the end, Gu Yunzheng had no choice but to marry her.
Ye Zhaozhao was stunned after hearing the whole story. She hadn't expected Liu Xiuli to be so capable. Zhu Lin was already used to Liu Xiuli's methods.
"Zhaozhao, be careful, she might try to get back at you."
Ye Zhaozhao laughed. Liu Xiuli's little schemes were nothing in her eyes. If Liu Xiuli dared to provoke her, she would be the one who got hurt.
"Second sister-in-law, I will."
Seeing Zhu Lin and Ye Zhaozhao whispering to each other in the kitchen, Liu Xiuli got annoyed and called Gu Yunzheng and her son home.
"Yun Duan, bring your younger brother and sister-in-law over for dinner sometime."
"Okay, brother, be careful on the road."
After Zhu Lin finished packing, she and Gu Yunxiao left with Gu Jingzhou. Lin Yanke told the two of them to go and rest as well, and that she and Gu Linyuan could take care of Tuantuan Yuanyuan.
Although Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were in an unfamiliar place, they didn't make a fuss at all. They just played with their toys and were very well-behaved.
"Zhaozhao, come with me for a moment."
"good."
Following Lin Yanke into the room, Lin Yanke took out two property ownership certificates and a jade bracelet from her bag.
“Zhaozhao, these two sets are courtyard houses, which are from Yunduan for you by Lao Gu and me. This bracelet is a family heirloom of the Gu family, and your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law both have it.”
While eating, Ye Zhaozhao noticed that her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were wearing jade bracelets that were exactly the same as this one.
Although she said she didn't like Liu Xiuli, Lin Yanke was sincere towards her. Of her three daughters-in-law, Lin Yanke did not favor any of them.
“Yun Duan joined the army when he was a teenager. Unlike his two older brothers, who have always been with us, we feel sorry for Yun Duan.”
Lin Yanke talked a lot about Gu Yunduan's childhood. This child was independent from a young age. When Lin Yanke was young, she was busy with work and often left the three brothers at home.
Although Gu Yunduan is the youngest, he is the smartest. He takes care of his two older brothers. Lin Yanke and Gu Linyuan have been trying to make up for Gu Yunduan's shortcomings over the years.
Ye Zhaozhao knew that Gu Yunduan's dream was to be a soldier, and if there was one thing he absolutely had to do in his life, he would definitely choose to contribute to the country.
“Mom, Gu Yunduan has realized his dream, and he doesn’t blame you or Dad.”
Hearing Ye Zhaozhao's words, Lin Yanke felt much better. Lin Yanke insisted on giving it to her, so Ye Zhaozhao had no choice but to accept it.
Back in the room, Ye Zhaozhao opened the property deed, which had her name on it. Lin Yan had already transferred the property before she knew they were coming back.
"Gu Yunduan, I have a courtyard house now too."
Seeing Ye Zhaozhao so happy, Gu Yunduan was happy too.
"Wife, let's save more money and buy a few more courtyard houses."
"OK."
Having slept too much in the afternoon, Gu Yunduan and Ye Zhaozhao weren't very sleepy, so Gu Yunduan kept bothering her all night.
The next morning, her two adorable children, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, called her over.
"Mommy... bed."
The two children are over six months old and can now call out "Mama," so Ye Zhaozhao had to get up.
After breakfast, Gu Yunduan drove her and the children to the old man's house. Ye Zhaozhao took out the gift she wanted to give to the old man from her luggage.
