Grandma He couldn't help but think of Gu Ya Rou's extraordinary qualities, and compared them with Gu Wan Wan's ordinariness, she looked down on Gu Wan Wan even more. What good is a pretty face if she's still no match for Ya Rou?
“Those are all rumors that Gu Wanwan deliberately spread, with the aim of making our He family regret it. You know that Gu Wanwan is relentlessly pursuing Wen Yan and insists on marrying him. She has even climbed into his bed and offered herself to him. How could she possibly give up so easily!”
“Now the five lower families are almost catching up with the five upper families. If they really fight, the five upper families may not have the upper hand. Ya Rou is a lucky star. Whoever she is on will win. Have you forgotten how lucky Ya Rou was? She could find money just by walking down the street, and prey would come to her when she went up the mountain. Our He family cannot miss this lucky star.”
He Zhen scoffed sarcastically, "If she were a lucky star, she wouldn't have ruined our relatives' lives like this. Now the factory canteen is filled with pickled vegetables, which has angered the leaders of our relatives. Those who were supposed to be promoted are now out of luck, and those who weren't promoted are now being demoted. Gu Yarou isn't as capable as Gu Wanwan. Why did she try to open a factory like that and ruin our relatives? They all came to me demanding an explanation."
"Gu Yarou hasn't even entered the family yet, and she's already caused so much trouble. She's really the good daughter-in-law that you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law value. Haven't you heard that the Gu family was robbed of everything? Both Gu Huaien and Gu Qiulin are penniless, borrowing money everywhere. They're also being watched by special departments, so they can't get any big money. They're living a very frugal life."
"Do you know who did it? It was an inside job. It was either the family of my daughter-in-law's best friend Shi Zhenxiang or the family of Gu Qiulin's husband. It caused Gu Qiulin and Gu Huaien's wife Shi Zhenxiang to break up. When Wen Yan married Gu Yarou, it was like he brought home a hidden danger."
"You're so stingy, yet you're willing to give money to Gu Huaien's family?"
He Shenglong suddenly remembered his son's words, "Xu Luoxue and Gu Yarou were also robbed in the countryside, and now they are being supported by Wen Yan and Shu Yan."
When it comes to money, Grandma He becomes very calculating. "She's already relying on her in-laws for support before she's even married. What will she be like in the future?" she said. "Ya Rou is one thing, she's going to be a daughter-in-law of the He family after all. But what right does Xu Luoxue have? If she doesn't have money, she should ask her parents for it. Why is she clinging to the He family and sucking their blood?"
Xu Jingyu's filter for Gu Yarou suddenly shattered, and she discovered that Gu Yarou was not as perfect as she remembered. Because of her pickle shop, she was scolded by her family. Now, she heard from her husband that Gu Yarou was penniless and relied on the He family for support. She felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Of course, she wouldn't dismiss Gu Yarou's abilities just because of one mistake. Although Gu Yarou disappointed her this time, compared to Gu Wanwan, she was simply far superior.
"Could it be that Gu Wanwan was jealous of Ya Rou, and because she saw Wen Yan treating Ya Rou well, she stole the money out of resentment? Otherwise, where would Gu Wanwan get so much money to open a factory? Wasn't the Gu family's property confiscated back then?"
He Shenglong shook his head. "When Gu Yarou and Xu Luoxue were robbed, Gu Wanwan hadn't returned to the village yet. She said she went to Yunnan Province. The place where Gu Yarou and Xu Luoxue lived was a new house that Gu Wanwan built herself. Xu Luoxue lied and said that she had a good relationship with Gu Wanwan. She used her status as Gu Wanwan's cousin to break into Gu Wanwan's house and move in."
“A few days ago, I ran into people from the Cheng family. They mocked me for not raising my daughter well because Shuyan, Gu Yarou, and Xu Luoxue not only occupied Gu Wanwan’s house, but also occupied the house and bicycle of the Cheng family’s grandson and granddaughter-in-law.”
He Zhen increasingly disapproved of Xu Luoxue and Gu Yarou's behavior, and voiced his concerns, "Don't forget, Gu Wanwan is not only the granddaughter of Old Master Gu, but also the granddaughter of Old Master Shen, one of the five great families. Gu Yarou is inferior to her in terms of status alone. Moreover, I've heard rumors that Gu Huaien may not be the biological son of the Gu family, which is why he is so cold-blooded and ruthless towards Old Master Gu and Old Master Shen. After all, Old Master Shen is his uncle."
