Grandma Gu nodded and then returned to Gu Shouxin: "Your father said that there shouldn't be any trouble from Lord Cheng's side this time, and the county exam results will definitely be the second son's true results."
Cai Xiaolian was taken aback: "Does Father also know what Brother Ye said before?"
Cai Xiaolian remembered that Gu Xin complained on the street, and the old couple weren't there at the time!
Grandma Gu didn't answer, but instructed, "Tell the second son to relax and take the exam. The county exam lasts five days, and he won't need to help with the housework. Tell him that your father has been waiting for his exam for over ten years, and he absolutely mustn't disappoint him! You also need to tell him that if he fails this time and disappoints your father, I'll break his legs!"
Cai Xiaolian: "...Okay."
Parents are the true love; children are just accidents!
If it weren't for the high resemblance between the four Gu siblings and their parents, Cai Xiaolian would have seriously suspected that they were adopted.
Seeing Cai Xiaolian's serious attitude, Grandma Gu continued, "I think we should settle things between Fourth Brother and Xiaohuan this year, and your father has agreed. As her sister-in-law, what do you think of Xiaohuan?"
Cai Xiaolian felt a warmth in her heart. The old lady was treating her like family. She had even told her about her brother-in-law's marriage: "Mom, I really like Xiaohuan. She and Lao Si went to the lantern festival by themselves last time, without coming with us! They are two people in love. I just don't understand why they have dragged it out until now."
Grandma Gu: "No matter how long it takes, as long as it's successful in the end, that's all that matters. Good things come to those who wait! Your father and I considered that you and Xiaohuan were going to open that furniture store, so we set the deadline for the end of this year. You two work hard, don't worry about anything at home. As for the seeds in the fields, with Niannian at home, and the eldest son and Ayuan, you can just focus on your work. A woman's life shouldn't just be about being a wife and mother; we should have our own things to do. When I was young, I couldn't do anything else either, hunting was my livelihood, but I see you're quite capable. You're thirty-two this year, so while you're still young, do more of what you want to do. I'll take care of the children and the fields for you."
Cai Xiaolian felt her eyes stinging. She couldn't help but sit down on Grandma Gu's stool, stretch out her arms, and hug Grandma Gu: "Mom, from now on, you are my own mother!"
Grandma Gu froze. Oh dear, what's wrong with this brat? Not only are she saying mushy things, but now she's even getting physical. Does she really think that her mother-in-law won't discipline her daughter-in-law?
Cai Xiaolian hugged Grandma Gu, feeling incredibly secure, and rubbed her nose against Grandma Gu's shoulder: "Mom, from now on, will you treat me like your daughter and him like your son-in-law? I want to be like my third sister, with you backing me up, so I can bully my child's father as much as I want!"
Grandma Gu reached out and pried Cai Xiaolian's hands open one by one, coldly saying, "If you have the skills of your third sister, then go ahead and hit her! If you hurt her, I won't bother you, and I'll even respect you!"
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
Grandma Gu glanced at her shoulder expressionlessly: "How old are you, still with a runny nose! Get out, get out, just looking at you gives me a headache!"
Cai Xiaolian wiped away her tears and chuckled, "Okay, Mom. I'm going out now. I'll try my best to make your troublesome second son submit!"
She also noticed the snot on Grandma Gu's shoulder. Grandma Gu was very clean, so she quickly slipped away.
Grandma Gu watched Cai Xiaolian's cheerful figure, rubbed her forehead, and sighed: "Sigh, another troublesome thing!"
