“Wife, listen to me, I won’t divorce you. As long as you don’t cause trouble, as long as you don’t harm the Gu family for your own family, I won’t divorce you. Don’t do this again, come on, let’s go back inside. You’ve been out in the wind, what if you get sick? If you get sick, we’ll need money.”
"You're only letting the wind blow on your own mother, aren't you? Let me tell you, if you get sick, she won't pay for your medicine. But we will! So, think about it, who's really good to you! Enzi, go get your mother some thick clothes and wrap her head up. If she gets chilled, she'll get headaches, and when you grow up, you'll have to spend money on her medical treatment all the time, won't you?"
Uncle Gu tried to persuade him while instructing his son.
Zhang felt that Uncle Gu cared about her, but why did these words of concern taste so unpleasant to her?
The child's father said he wouldn't divorce her, which was more like it, since she had given him two sons, unlike Cai, the second wife, who hadn't had a son in years.
Hmph, you look down on my family, don't you! Cai, just you wait, once your second son passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, let's see if he divorces you.
That vile woman, Cai, is so eager to marry the second son. He clearly doesn't love her. Just wait and see, when he becomes successful and that woman from before comes back, she'll be in for a world of hurt.
Thinking of this, Zhang felt much better. She no longer disliked the second branch of the family studying. After all, if the second branch of the family succeeded, their eldest branch would also benefit.
Moreover, the second wife can now earn money and doesn't need to spend her parents' money.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal!
She now particularly dislikes Cai Shi, feeling that Cai Shi is pretentious, thinking that since the second son is studying again and both daughters are precious, she looks down on her nephew from her maternal family.
snort!
Just you wait and see!
There will be times when you see your two daughters calling someone else "Mom".
As Zhang walked to the door, she turned back to look at Cai Xiaolian, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
She's gone mad!
Even after what that amazing older brother said, he still looked at me with a gloating expression?
"Let's eat!" Grandma Gu sat down and called the family to eat.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, Niannian is already fourteen. Have you found someone suitable? You should settle down to avoid a repeat of today's situation," Uncle Gu kindly reminded them.
He knew that many young men in the village had designs on his niece, and that his niece used to have men hanging around her, but she seemed to have quieted down a lot lately.
"Fourth Uncle! I'm not in a hurry. Sister Huihui hasn't decided yet! We're family! This has to be done in order. Should I wait until Sister Huihui decides before it's my turn?" Gu Nian answered directly for her adoptive parents.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was kicked in the foot. Looking down, she saw that it was Gu Hui who had kicked her.
Gu Nian smiled broadly.
Gu Hui rolled her eyes at her, then said, "Fourth Uncle is older than me and he's not settled yet, so why should I be in a hurry?"
Uncle Gu: "..."
“That’s right, fourth son. You’re nineteen already. When I was your age, your second brother was already born.” Grandpa Gu chuckled as he watched his youngest son being teased by his granddaughter, then unabashedly sided with her.
"I'll write a letter to your third sister tomorrow and ask her how the matchmaking went! You better behave yourself! Get married quickly so we can divide the family property! I get a headache just looking at all of you scoundrels!" Grandma Gu was clearly in a bad mood, scanning everyone at the table without sparing anyone.
