Zhang, Cai Xiaolian, and Yang Xiaohuan, who had just entered the house, watched as the three Gu brothers were scolded. They even thought their mother-in-law was good, only scolding her own children, while the children who married in from outside escaped the calamity.
Well, seeing their third uncle being scolded, the three of them realized that the old lady didn't care whether you were her son or not. Once you entered the Gu family, everyone was treated equally, and you would share the scolding.
So the three of them stopped watching the excitement and obediently went about their business!
After seeing her third uncle run off to find Uncle Gu looking dejected and questioning his life, Grandpa Gu carried Gu Ren over, patted Grandma Gu's back to soothe her, and poured her some tea: "Lanlan, didn't you say you'd stop caring about them after Fourth Brother got married? You still can't help but worry. Don't be angry."
Grandma Gu took a sip of tea, then shook her head and smiled: "I'm not angry. It's just that they've all become too lax lately, so I'm tightening things up for them, lest they all lose their bearings!"
Grandpa Gu smiled helplessly: "You!"
Grandma Gu: "Brother Chuan, this is what you promised me before. If we don't separate the family, you're not allowed to stop me when I scold the children."
Grandpa Gu: "...I didn't try to persuade you today! Wasn't this all to please you?"
Grandma Gu shook her head and sighed, "Brother Chuan, look at Lao Xiao, he only has one daughter, Xiao Jia, and now he's taking care of A Yuan, it's so easy for him!"
Grandpa Gu laughed and said, "Sister Xiao envies you for having so many children and grandchildren! Everyone has their own destiny! God has blessed you with a house full of children and grandchildren, so just enjoy it! Look how you scolded them; the second son doesn't even dare to come over for dinner. The fourth son just got married yesterday; at least let him be happy for a few days!"
Grandma Gu thought about it and agreed. "Alright, I won't scold them then. Anyway, these annoying things won't be in front of me for the time being."
Thinking of this, Grandma Gu looked at Gu Ren, having completely forgotten about the little guy.
Gu Ren: "!"
Gu Ren gave a big smile, then struggled to get down from Grandpa Gu's arms and slipped away on his own with his short legs.
I can't afford to mess with her. The old lady doesn't care if I'm only one year old. If she can't stand me, she'll definitely scold me. Go find my simple-minded dad and my third aunt's husband to team up!
The elderly couple exchanged a glance and smiled at each other. This child has been so perceptive since he was little. No wonder he was able to win the whole celebration during his first birthday celebration!
...
Not long after lunch, Madam Xie arrived with Xie Zhiyi.
Yesterday, I came to offer my congratulations and also to confirm the time.
In the main room of the second branch, the Gu sisters and Huo Yanyu were accompanying Madam Xie and Xie Zhiyi. After a while, Cai Xiaolian arrived.
"I'm sorry, Madam Xie, there was a wedding banquet at the old house yesterday, so we have a lot to do today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Cai Xiaolian said politely.
"Madam Cai, we apologize for bothering you. We originally planned to come after your wedding banquet, but then we realized that we are all business partners now. If we knew about it and didn't come, it would seem like we weren't sincere," Madam Xie said with a smile.
“Madam Xie, since we’re talking about business, you and my daughter already agreed on that order. The Gu sisters have always been in charge of the products and they have the authority to make decisions!” Cai Xiaolian asked doubtfully.
"That's true, but I'd also like to have a chat with Madam Cai. Zhiyi and Xinxin have been corresponding for over a month, and they get along very well. I was thinking that we, as mothers, should also try to connect with them. Please don't look down on me, Madam Cai!"
