A kind-hearted aunt quietly reminded Cai Xiaolian that Gu Lao Er was different now, and she should hurry up.
Cai Xiaolian asked, "What are you holding onto?"
The older women said, "Of course, you should hurry up and have a son!"
Your husband is an official, a father of two, and still so young and handsome. Wouldn't all those vixens flock to him?
So, if you want to hold onto your man, it's best to have two children in three years, or even if you can't have two, you should make sure he doesn't have the energy to deal with other women.
Cai Xiaolian blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to.
The aunties were really telling the truth!
Of course, besides teaching her how to attract men, he also helped her fend off many suitors.
These aunties are so blunt. Don't you even look at your own son? What does he look like? What can he do? Is he a good match for the daughter of a top scholar? Put your hand on your heart and tell me, if your daughter were like those two kids, would you tell him that your son (nephew, distant nephew) is like that?
We're all women, let's not hurt that young girl.
This was the second time Cai Xiaolian had experienced the directness of the village aunties since she transmigrated.
When was the first time?
The first time was during last year's New Year's goods competition. Those aunties were just as direct, saying, "Your family sells goods to us, that's business. I give you eggs and brown sugar as gifts, that's a favor. What, you don't want this favor anymore?"
It was much simpler for Gu Nian and Gu Xin. No little girls or boys came up to talk to them because their families had instructed them that the sisters were doing something important, making cosmetics that could fetch a high price. They were told not to bother them and cut off their livelihood, as that would be like killing their parents.
That day, Grandpa Gu drank a lot and got drunk.
He used to be in poor health and would only drink a small glass of wine during the Lunar New Year, but he drank quite a lot that day.
As a result, Gu Shouxin was scolded by his grandmother again. "Can't you be a little more low-key? Your father was only healthy last year. If he gets drunk and ruins his health, you'll have to pay for it!"
Gu Shouxin: I also want to keep a low profile, but it's the old man who wants to be high-profile!
He felt very wronged.
Grandma Gu helped Grandpa Gu back to his room to lie down, and after a while she came to call Gu Shouxin in.
Grandpa Gu leaned against the headboard, holding Gu Shouxin's hand: "Second son! Good! Good! Good!"
Gu Shouxin: "...Dad, go to sleep, or Mom will scold her son again."
Grandpa Gu chuckled foolishly: "Lanlan still likes you all very much. Of course, Lanlan likes me the most. You are all my sons, and you all look like me, so there are things about you that Lanlan likes."
Gu Shouxin: ...
Grandpa Gu patted Gu Shouxin's hand again: "Good! Good! Good!"
Gu Shouxin smiled helplessly: "Father, if you keep doing this, I won't dare to take the imperial examination! Even if I pass, I'll tell the Emperor I won't accept it. I'm afraid you'll be even happier and drink even more, and Mother will beat me to death, making me the first imperial examination scholar in history to be beaten to death by my own mother."
Grandpa Gu sat up: "Nonsense! How could your mother bear to beat my son to death? Your mother loves you all because of your mother; you are my sons, and she cherishes you all!"
Gu Shouxin: ...You're saying we're not her sons, but that you're like someone else's son.
Grandpa Gu suddenly grabbed Gu Shouxin's face, just like Gu Nian usually did with Gu Ren: "Second son, you can't learn from your eldest brother! What you just said sounded a bit like your eldest brother's tone!"
Gu Shouxin shook his head seriously: "No, Dad, you're wrong. I'm not like my eldest brother, it's that my eldest brother and I are like you."
Grandma Gu almost burst out laughing at the door; even when Chuan Ge was drunk, he was still so adorable.
