"I'm afraid our He family will lose more than we gain, mistaking a pearl for a fish eye, picking up a sesame seed... and losing a watermelon." He Zhen sighed repeatedly. In fact, he had always insisted on choosing Gu Wanwan, not because he valued her so much, but because Gu Wanwan was simple and easy to manipulate. Because she liked his grandson, she also respected the He family. With just one word from her, the doting old man Gu would naturally extend his love to her.
Now they are even more determined to have Wen Yan find an opportunity to reconcile, firstly because Gu Wanwan is capable, and secondly because Gu Wanwan is the most beloved granddaughter of Old Master Gu.
Although Gu Yarou was also a granddaughter of the Gu family, she felt, perhaps it was just her imagination, that the Gu family elders treated Gu Huaien as well as Gu Huaiwu and Gu Huaiwen.
Grandma He still felt that her husband was overthinking things. In her mind, Gu Wanwan was still a love-struck woman who was obsessed with her grandson. "Old man, don't listen to those gossipy women. How could Ya Rou's father not be the Gu family's biological son? I've also heard people say that Gu Qiulin isn't the Gu family's biological daughter, but in the end, the Gu couple still favor her."
"Rumors can be deadly. In the past, when Gu Qiulin disciplined her nephews and nieces, I never saw the old couple scold her. It's clear that in the old couple's eyes, Gu Qiulin is still their daughter. The problem you're worried about simply doesn't exist."
"It's obvious that someone is jealous of Gu Qiulin and Gu Huaien, deliberately sowing discord and trying to make us give up Ya Rou so that others can take advantage of the situation. You have no idea how many people are pursuing Ya Rou. The threshold of the door is worn down by suitors. Fortunately, Ya Rou is devoted to Wen Yan, otherwise she would have been snatched up by someone else long ago!"
"The He family will regret it to death if they miss out on a lucky star. Anyway, I only recognize Ya Rou as my granddaughter-in-law. If Gu Wanwan is sensible, I'll let her be a mistress for now. This is the biggest concession the He family can make. Not to mention Gu Wanwan, there are plenty of women who would throw themselves at our Wen Yan. Our Wen Yan is naturally attractive to women. Ya Rou said that Wen Yan is the chosen one. Wen Yan and the lucky star are a perfect match."
It's as if Sister Wan would go back to her ex. It just shows that she has an inexplicable faith in her grandson. She thinks that every woman will revolve around her grandson, and that only her grandson has the right to choose his partner, while no one else has the right to refuse.
Xiangyang Village
After being scolded by her own mother, He Shuyan returned to the village in a daze. She didn't know how to explain to Ya Rou, and she dared not tell the villagers that the pickling shop was about to go bankrupt.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Gu Yarou asked her with some doubt, "Does your aunt miss you and want us to go back? I haven't seen them for a long time either. We'll bring some local specialties back with us."
Xu Luoxue thought for a moment and guessed, "It's probably to urge you and Wen Yan to get married. Your aunt wants a daughter-in-law and wants you to get engaged and married as soon as possible. Everyone in Beijing knows that your aunt and cousin are as close as mother and daughter."
Gu Yarou liked hearing this, blushed and glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense. Wen Yan and I aren't dating yet. It's not too late to get engaged after we're together."
"You two are practically done with it. Anyway, the elders in the He family only have eyes for you. Your marriage to He Wenyan is a sure thing. You two mustn't lose to Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen." Xu Luoxue was afraid others wouldn't know, so she loudly proclaimed and boasted about her cousin and He Wenyan's upcoming wedding.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers offered their blessings. "The future mother-in-law called to greet Ya Rou, the educated youth. Ya Rou is so lucky. There won't be any problems with her relationship with her mother-in-law. She hasn't even entered the family yet, and her mother-in-law already treats her so well. She will only have a better life in the future."
"She's the best mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the year. Ya Rou is a good person, and even her husband's family values her."
"Congratulations! You must invite us to your engagement party!"
