Aunt Gu was speechless. This sister-in-law was going too far! Was she really going to rush into this kind of marriage?
"It's alright, don't worry. If my sister-in-law could decide Huihui's marriage, she would have been married long ago." Cai Xiaolian was quite perceptive.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin sat down next to Cai Xiaolian and helped her marinate the meat.
The Gu family had four pigs; they sold two and kept the other two for themselves.
Even if it's just the two ends, there's still a lot of meat; it'll take quite a while to prepare it.
"Where is your sister?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
“My sisters are at home making things to sell tomorrow. I don’t like Guo Wan and Guo Yan, so I came here,” Gu Xin said, pouting.
"Hey, you little rascal, you have the same likes and dislikes as your aunt! Are they just sitting there not helping out, just waiting to eat?" Aunt Gu said with a smile.
Her sister-in-law and brother-in-law are probably disliked by everyone; they're lazy and good-for-nothing, acting like everyone owes them something.
“Yes! I don’t know why, but Dad and the others aren’t kicking people out,” Gu Xin said, puzzled.
"Who's here?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
“Sister, Sister Huihui, Sisi, Father, Fourth Uncle, and Brother Yuan,” Gu Xin replied.
Ever since Lu Zheng and Gu Shouxin fought the big cat together last time, Gu Xin has been calling him Brother Yuan.
Lu Zheng was overjoyed.
His nickname is Yuanyuan, and only his maternal grandparents and sister call him that.
It's not wrong for Gu Xin to call him Brother Yuan.
The time-traveling trio didn't correct Gu Xin's way of addressing her. They had already decided that Gu Xin was still young and at that age, she couldn't possibly have romantic feelings for a man.
Moreover, Lu Zheng can't stay here forever; he'll leave one day. As for whether we'll meet again after he leaves, that's a matter for the future.
There's no use in them overthinking; they might as well focus on living their lives well right now.
"Then don't worry. They'll definitely come back crying in a bit," Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
Given Lu Zheng's personality, Gu Xin was terrified by the big cat. He could go into the mountains alone at night to hunt tigers. The Guo siblings had said a lot of bad things about Gu Xin and disliked him. Even if Gu Shouxin and Gu Nian didn't take action, Lu Zheng would.
Sure enough, Guo Wan returned crying shortly afterward, while Guo Yan followed her back with a big bag on his head and a pitiful look on his face.
"Oh dear, Xiao Wan, Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you two? My dear daughters, my youngest children, why are you like this?" Qin Shi was chatting with Zhang Shi when she heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing her children like this, her heart ached.
"Mother, I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore!" Guo Wan hugged Qin Shi and started crying.
"Mother, I want to go back! I don't want to come to this place anymore. It's all uneven, and I fell and hurt my head. How can I face people now?" Guo Yan also tugged at Qin Shi's sleeve and cried.
"Young man, you're crying like this just because you bumped your head, what kind of behavior is this! A grown man shouldn't be so shameful!" the third uncle scolded, who was tending the fire.
Guo Yan pursed his lips; his mother favored his eldest brother the most, and he dared not disagree.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? You're such a grown woman, what kind of behavior is this, crying like this?" Uncle frowned and looked at Guo Wan again.
Grandma Gu, who was boiling oil in front of the stove, raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh ho, the third son-in-law does act like an older brother in front of his younger brother and sister!"
She seemed to remember that the last time her son-in-law came over, her brother-in-law said that when he saw a wild boar, he jumped onto her brother-in-law's back and trembled with fear.
The contrast is really huge!
