Cai Xiaolian was startled, but relaxed when she saw it was Gu Shouxin. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this afternoon, my sister-in-law, Xiaohuan, and I got into a fight with the village head's women. Don't be fooled by all the scratches on my face, there were only three of us, and they were more seriously injured!"
Gu Shouxin frowned: "What happened? Why did they start fighting?"
At this moment, Uncle Gu came in carrying Gu Ren: "Second son, your mother wants you to come over; she has something to tell you!"
At this moment, Gu Shouxin didn't care what important things his cheap mother wanted to tell him; all he could see was the injury on Cai Xiaolian's face.
Cai Xiaolian slapped Gu Shouxin's hand away, feeling quite sweet inside, and said with a smile, "Go on! I just wanted to tell you about today. I thought everyone was tired today, and the children will be tired when they come back from the village, so I thought we could eat together here. Go on, I'll tell you."
Gu Shouxin nodded, called out "Big Brother" as he passed by his uncle, and then left.
Gu Ren watched Gu Shouxin's retreating figure, tightly hugging his simple-minded father's arm. His cheap second uncle looked terrifying, but he seemed to be the kind of male protagonist he wanted to create! He didn't hide his domineering aura at all.
Uncle Gu was stunned for a moment, then ran over and said, "Second sister-in-law, the second son doesn't know yet, does he? Tsk tsk tsk, if he finds out, the Zhang family is doomed."
Cai Xiaolian glanced at Gu Ren, who was staring blankly at Gu Shouxin's back, and said with a smile, "Aren't you angry, brother? Sister-in-law's injury just healed last time, don't you feel sorry for her?"
Uncle Gu looked annoyed: "Oh dear, second sister-in-law, speaking of this, I have to ask you for a favor! Could you talk to your sister-in-law? She's really, really unreasonable!"
Cai Xiaolian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Granny Gui and Bi Rong, who were busy at work, also listened intently. Every time, the eldest son of the Gu family would say something that made people laugh. In Nian's words, missing it was like missing out on thousands of taels of silver.
Uncle Gu pulled up a stool and sat down at the kitchen doorway: "When A Yuan and I came home and saw your sister-in-law like that, I felt sorry for her and angry. But do you know what she said?"
Cai Xiaolian was a good listener and immediately replied, "What did you say?"
Uncle Gu said, "She said she wants to change her name! Do you know what it's going to be? Zhang Xiaocui! Do you know why she wants to change it to Zhang Xiaocui? Because of your and Xiaohuan's names!"
"She said that this afternoon you represented the women of the Gu family in a battle against the enemy and won, even though you were all injured! She said that after Xiao Huan marries into the Gu family, you two will both be junior members, making it seem like she's not a member of the Gu family. She insists on calling her Zhang Xiaocui!"
"Then I said, 'Xiao Lian and Xiao Huan are really petite, you're such a big lump, how can you be considered petite?' Then she got upset and started making a fuss, demanding that her mother judge the situation! She even bragged to me that she's now her mother's own daughter, her sweet little cotton-padded jacket! I said, 'Even if you are our mother's own daughter, you're still a big cotton-padded quilt that wraps us up!' Then she got upset again, and instead of asking for a judgment, she said she was going to complain about me!"
“I tried to reason with her! She’s really not young anymore. If we’re talking about the younger generation of the Gu family women, then the third son should be changed to Gu Xiaolin! How could she be changed to Zhang Xiaocui! Oh, you don’t know how she cried! It was like I had beaten her up! It was like I was preventing her from becoming Zhang Xiaocui!”
"Hey, she still wants to complain to Mom? She's dreaming! In Mom's eyes, daughters and sons are just as annoying as each other. Out of sight, out of mind! She doesn't care! If she doesn't let you out of the house, it just means she's in a good mood that day!"
Cai Xiaolian: Zhang Xiaocui? Gu Xiaolin? Big cotton quilt? Little cotton-padded jacket?
Granny Gui Bi Rong: We didn't miss out on several thousand taels today!
