Chapter 248: The Pregnancy That Forces the Parents-in-Laws 5 Unless you want to steal her man? Yes...
Zhang's mother didn't know Gu's mother, and she had always been a careless person, so she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Gu's mother's excessive enthusiasm.
Since we're waiting anyway, why not go to the place where the nails are being driven, chat and kill time.
So he followed Gu's mother to the intersection.
On the way, Mother Gu casually chatted with her: "Sister-in-law, what's your name?"
Zhang's mother had no idea that she had come prepared. She just assumed that this person really didn't recognize her and said with a smile, "Just call me Old Jia."
"Sister-in-law, you look quite young. You must be over 40, right?" Mother Gu lied with her eyes open. Women like to be praised for their youth, which can quickly bring them closer.
Zhang's mother was indeed beaming, and said cheerfully, "You're mistaken. I'm already in my fifties."
"Oh, I can't believe it. Looks like your family is well off." Mother Gu intentionally steered the conversation towards her son, saying with a smile, "Children and grandchildren must be filial, right? Only when they are filial can a mother look younger."
"Haha, filial piety." Filial piety, she was almost mad to death, but family disgrace should not be made public, so Zhang's mother could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger and put on a forced smile.
Mother Gu took the opportunity to say, "Filial piety is good. A filial child will surely have a great future. When he becomes capable in the future, he will be even more filial."
Zhang's mother loved hearing this. She smiled until her eyes were almost invisible. She said modestly, "It's not bad. He's just a factory director, not a very high position. From now on, it depends on his own ability."
"Oh, he's a factory director? So impressive?" Mother Gu feigned surprise, not disguising her envy and flattery. She grasped Mother Zhang's arm and asked, "There aren't many factories in Yicheng. Which one does your son work for?"
Zhang's mother laughed and said, "It's from the food factory. The factory isn't doing well. I'm sorry to bother you."
"Wow, they're actually from the food processing factory! That's impressive." Mother Gu, very good at bluffing, consoled her. "Whether the performance is good or not isn't up to them. The higher-ups have production plans. Sister-in-law, don't take the blame on your own children. If the children are under too much pressure, it will affect their work efficiency. If there are problems at work, there will be problems at home as well."
Zhang's mother sighed silently. Now her son has turned the tables. If there is a problem at home, it may lead to problems at work as well.
It’s infuriating just thinking about it.
Zhang's mother leaned over, picked up a nail, and sighed, "I'm just an uneducated old woman. Of course, I won't tell my children what to do. What about you? How many children do you have? Where are you going to get a good job?"
"As for me, I only have two daughters and one son. My daughters are married, and my son is considered a half-son-in-law. He runs to his father-in-law's house all day long. As a mother, I feel neglected." Mother Gu sighed and changed the subject, "You are still the best, sister-in-law. Your children and grandchildren are filial, so you don't have to worry about it. As for my family... let's not talk about it."
Mother Zhang loved gossip, and she immediately perked up, pulling Mother Gu toward the curb and asking, "What's wrong with your family? Why does your daughter-in-law always go back to her parents' house?"
Mother Gu sighed silently, "Well, it's not my daughter-in-law's fault. It's my little daughter who always gets bullied at work. Whenever she gets bullied, she loves to come back and cry to me. Once or twice is okay, but after so many times, my daughter-in-law is afraid that my daughter will take advantage of her, so she simply ran back to her parents' home with my son and moved her things away."
"Oh, this is serious. Where does your daughter work? If all else fails, why not complain to her boss?" Zhang's mother sympathized with Gu's mother and advised, "Tell your daughter not to be afraid. Director Yuan handles everything. Just go to him and seek justice. He'll definitely deal with her boss."
Mother Gu quickly tugged at Mother Zhang's sleeve: "Shh, don't dare to shout. Her leader is very important. Who would dare to do that?"
Zhang's mother grew increasingly curious and asked, "I don't believe it. Who is it? Even if the emperor came, he wouldn't be able to get any special privileges in front of Director Yuan."
"It's Editor-in-Chief Yao from the publishing house. Her father was a military leader and only just retired, but his influence is still there." Gu's mother finally brought the topic to the target person, twisting right and wrong, "Otherwise, why would a publishing house let someone who just graduated from junior high school take the position of Editor-in-Chief?"
Zhang's mother was surprised: "So your daughter works in a publishing house, no wonder she has to suffer so much."
"You also know about the publishing house?" Mother Gu whispered, her voice full of drama. "Why, your children also work there?"
"Oh, don't mention it. My daughter-in-law was sent to jail by that Editor-in-Chief Yao." Although Zhang's mother didn't want Lu Yuan to be entangled with her son anymore, she also felt that it was strange that Lu Yuan was imprisoned.
In addition, her son kept saying that it was Editor-in-Chief Yao who deliberately targeted and framed Lv Yuan in order to eliminate dissidents, so Zhang's mother stood on Lv Yuan's side in this matter. After all, she was the mother of her grandson.
If Lu Yuan could be cleared of her grievances and have her jail record erased, she wouldn't mind Lu Yuan remarrying her son.
However, this is a very difficult matter. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Chief Yao as an example. Who dares to offend him?
Mother Zhang could only sigh: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. No one can defeat fate. This is my daughter-in-law's fate. I accept it."
Mother Gu glanced at the people in the repair shop, pulled her to stand across the street, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, does your daughter-in-law have any children?"
"There's a little boy." Zhang's mother felt very distressed. "Poor child, he has to experience mother and child separation at such a young age, ah."
"Mother and son separated? Your son and daughter-in-law are divorced?" Mother Gu was astonished. "Oh my, Editor-in-Chief Yao is such a troublemaker. Sister-in-law, you must not accept your fate. If you do, what will happen to your grandson? If I were you, I would collect evidence of her illegal activities, send her to jail, and clear my daughter-in-law's name!"
"That's what you say..." Zhang's mother was very conflicted. If her family had evidence, they would not have watched Lu Yuan go to jail.
Seeing her hesitation, Gu's mother quickly pulled her away, speculating that Yao Zhizhi was a fool with no real ability.
Finally, he urged, "As long as we unite, mobilize the masses, and write a letter of denunciation to Director Yuan, he will definitely not sit idly by. Even if her father is very capable, he is retired after all, and things are different now."
Zhang's mother did not respond to this, but to be honest, she was very tempted, but unfortunately she did not have the courage.
After thinking about it, she whispered, "Let's talk about it later. By the way, what's your name?"
"As for me, my last name is Cui. You can ask your daughter-in-law if she knows Gu Yanni from the art department. That's my youngest daughter." Gu's mother squeezed Zhang's mother's hand. "Sister-in-law, I won't rush you. Take your time to think about it. After all, we old women live for our children. As long as they live well, we should grit our teeth and give it our all."
Mother Zhang nodded: "Yes, for the sake of my children, I will think about it carefully."
After repairing the car, she went to Lu Yuan's place to make osmanthus cakes.
Lu Yuan lay in the yard like an ancestor, waiting for ready-made food. Zhang's mother didn't say anything. After all, she was pregnant. If Lu Yuan could really clear her name, they would still be a family in the future. There was no need to quarrel with Lu Yuan now.
After the osmanthus cakes were finished, Zhang's mother came out of the kitchen and asked tentatively, "Yuanyuan, is it possible to redress your imprisonment?"
Lu Yuan didn't know why she asked this and rolled her eyes. "If I could be vindicated, would I have waited until now? Why are you bringing up something irrelevant?"
Zhang's mother sighed. "I met someone today whose daughter is being bullied by Editor-in-Chief Yao and is almost unable to continue working. She said she wants to join forces with us and report Editor-in-Chief Yao together."
Lu Yuan instantly perked up: "Oh? Do they have any evidence? Tell me about it."
Mother Zhang was not sure if it would work, so she learned what Mother Gu said.
Lu Yuan picked up an osmanthus cake but hesitated to put it in her mouth. She thought for a long time and replied, "It's not impossible. Let me think about whether we can unite a few more people."
"Really?" Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief. That was great, everyone was happy. She went to the kitchen again, made a dish of braised pork and stir-fried vegetables, then took off her apron and said, "I'll pick up Xiaobao from school. You can eat by yourself. Okay."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything. She went to the publishing house the next day and waited on the street across the street, but didn't go in. She waited until the end of the day and saw Gu Yanni coming out before she took any action.
After following them all the way to a place where there were no other colleagues from the publishing house, Lv Yuan called out to Gu Yanni, "Sister Yanni."
Gu Yanni quickly stepped on the brakes, stopped and looked back, but saw Lu Yuan wearing the latest tweed coat, her face was flushed, and it seemed that she was living a good life.
She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Let me talk to you." After all, Lu Yuan had only worked in the publishing house for a few months and was not familiar with Gu Yanni, so she needed to find out what Gu Yanni had to say.
Gu Yanni, on the other hand, was a sly person who liked to play innocent and always try to get herself out of trouble. So when faced with Lu Yuan's invitation, she deliberately said in embarrassment: "Ah, my mother is still waiting for me at home for dinner. If you have anything to say, can you please tell me quickly?"
Lu Yuan squinted her eyes and looked at her. She smiled and said, "Why, your mother took the initiative to approach my mother-in-law, and you didn't know? Now you're pretending to be me, do you think I'll believe it?"
Gu Yanni stared at her blankly, very annoyed. It was not a pleasant feeling to have her mask exposed. She could only stubbornly say, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Lu Yuan scoffed, "Really? Since you don't understand, forget it. I'll go back and tell my mother-in-law that we won't get involved in what your mother said. You can do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I'll just sit back and watch."
Gu Yanni had a headache and had to give in half a step: "What do you want to say? Just say it, I'm not blocking your mouth."
"How could you not know what I'm saying?" Lu Yuan moved closer, squinting at the woman. "I'm just curious. How could you, being in the art department, have offended her? Unless..."
Lu Yuan smiled and pinched Gu Yanni's cheek, whispering like a devil: "Unless you want to steal her man? Right?"
