Chapter 236: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Forty-eight)
Old man Qiao's good idea was to act as a matchmaker for his ex-daughter-in-law and marry off the young widow.
In Old Man Qiao's opinion, as long as Gu Qingcheng remarried and had a new husband and new children, she would no longer care about Qiao Xiangyang, uh, and Qiao Qiao.
They, the grandparents, can take advantage of the situation.
He tried to sow discord between mother and son and used Qiao Xiangyang to extort money and things from Gu Qingcheng.
Not only can he pull his grandson to his side, but he can also cause trouble for Gu Qingcheng.
The key is, you don’t have to spend a penny.
Old man Joe, who has been shrewd and calculating all his life, did not forget to play tricks even at this time.
He wanted a grandson but didn't want to spend money, and he was reluctant to give up Gu Qingcheng's high income and benefits.
In order to achieve this goal, he carefully selected the best candidate.
In fact, the most perfect thing would be to find a way to pair Gu Qingcheng with Qiao Weiguo again.
Old man Qiao has already determined that after several months of wasting time in the boiler room, the arrogance that Qiao Weiguo had when he first arrived has been almost worn away.
In the past month, Qiao Weiguo rarely argued with old man Qiao.
During the conversation, there was even a hint of flattery.
Old man Qiao knew that this unfortunate adopted son had learned his lesson and realized that it would be difficult to survive in the city.
Humph! Good to know!
Although I, an old man, don’t have much ability and can’t help you, I can ruin your plans!
Old Man Qiao dared to bet that if he arranged a marriage for Qiao Weiguo at this time, the boy would never dare to object.
Former daughter-in-law Gu Xiaoni is the best candidate.
What a pity——
Gu Xiaoni is now powerful and has become a celebrity, and old man Qiao doesn't dare to provoke her easily.
He is a top-notch person, but he is not stupid! Knowing that the other party is a female strongman who cannot be provoked, how dare he use his old arms and legs to confront her head-on?
In addition, Gu Qingcheng has an extremely good reputation because she insisted on remaining a widow to Qiao Jianguo.
On the other hand, the old man Qiao and his wife, their only son died, adopted their nephew, forced their daughter-in-law and granddaughter away, and even refused to recognize their own grandson...
All these things, one after another, have made Old Man Qiao's reputation, which was not very good to begin with, even worse.
Old man Joe didn't care.
It has completely fallen below the moral bottom line, so people just give up and throw the jar into the ground.
But not caring doesn't mean reputation is not important.
As shrewd as old man Qiao is, he knows very well that when he, who has a bad reputation, goes against Gu Qingcheng, who has a good reputation and is capable, his neighbors, colleagues and unit leaders will definitely favor the latter.
It would be fine for others, but old man Qiao didn't want to offend his leader.
"...Humph! You got it for free!"
After much thought, Old Man Qiao decided to give up on his evil deeds and instead found a very good candidate for his ex-daughter-in-law.
This is good, without the double quotes, it’s really good.
Anyone who hears this will think that Old Man Qiao, the father-in-law, is really doing this for Gu Qingcheng's own good! "Matchmaking? Who is the man?"
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Gu Si's wife looked as if she was facing a great enemy.
It would be abnormal if a top-notch person like Old Man Qiao completely disappeared.
She had been waiting for Old Man Qiao to make a move.
Finding her a good family and then marrying her off is one of the common tactics used by her husband's family.
Gu Qingcheng was not surprised or shocked at all.
"I heard his name is Xiao Guodong, he also works in the machinery factory and is a workshop director."
Gu Si's wife was very opposed to her elder sister-in-law remarrying.
The reason is simple: once a woman remarries and has a new family, her focus will shift.
In the future, she may not be able to take care of her family like she does now.
In addition to her selfish motives, Gu Si's wife also discovered that her elder sister-in-law seemed to be living a better life if she didn't get married.
No need to serve parents-in-law, no need to take care of husband, and even no need to take care of children.
They are capable and have their own children, so they don't have to worry about anything now or in the future.
Why marry again?
Marry a man to provide you with clothes and food.
In this era, many women marry not because of love or the desire for a family, but because they want the most basic survival security.
Gu Qingcheng has all of these, and the quality is very high.
Gu Si's wife once fantasized that if she were the eldest sister-in-law, oh my god, she could be the master of the house and wouldn't have to please anyone. Life would be so damn comfortable.
Only a fool would remarry.
The most important point is that my elder sister-in-law has never thought about remarrying, not even the slightest intention in this regard.
But there are some annoying people who say "I'm doing this for your own good" but are actually causing trouble.
Especially the couple Old Man Qiao and Mrs. Ma.
Humph, they are so black-hearted and calculating, how can they have any good intentions? But this time——
"I have asked the aunt of the Niu family, and Director Xiao is really a good person."
When Gu Si's wife said this, she herself was a little confused.
Old man Joe actually chose an excellent candidate.
"Director Xiao is 40 years old this year. He is one of the first batch of college students after liberation."
"He is capable, down-to-earth, helpful, and often helps co-workers in need."
"He has been a model worker and technical backbone for several consecutive years, and he is not bad looking either."
He is about 180cm tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very upright.
He looks like a good person with ambition and integrity.
"It's also good for my relatives back home. I send half of my salary back to my parents every month."
“He took great care of his brothers, sisters and fellow villagers.”
"...It can be said that in the machinery factory and in the family quarters, no one fails to give a thumbs up when Director Xiao is mentioned."
"Two years ago, during difficult times, Director Xiao himself was so hungry that his face turned pale and his body was thin, but he still donated his food coupons to his colleagues in need."
Gu Si's wife talked incessantly.
Originally, she spoke about this matter with a critical attitude and obvious personal emotions.
But as they were talking, Gu Si's wife suddenly felt that this man was really good.
Be capable, filial, kind, grateful, and selfless.
In the machinery factory, he is definitely a well-known figure.
I guess even the leader would admire such a pure and upright employee.
To some extent, Xiao Guodong and Gu Qingcheng are actually somewhat compatible——
One is a model worker, the other is a technical expert; one is loyal and righteous, the other is also grateful.
Both of them are remarried and have children.
In terms of appearance, one is decent and the other is absolutely beautiful.
"No! That Xiao Guodong is not worthy of Sister Gu at all!"
Hearing the rumors outside, Su Anqi got furious.
She is a person who speaks her mind.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, after the last letter incident, Su Anqi learned her lesson thoroughly.
She no longer dared to be rash or willful.
She learned to think and to disguise.
Gradually, Su Anqi became mature and steady.
However, at home, when her sister is alone, she would occasionally show her true colors.
"That man is just seeking fame and reputation!"
"Oh! Yes, he is a good man! But his reputation was earned by hurting his wife and children."
"In the past two years, when things were so difficult, his wife starved herself to save a little food just to leave it for her children."
"In the end, Xiao Guodong used all of them to do good deeds!"
"Ha, he became a good man, and a good son, brother, and younger brother in his hometown. None of his relatives in his hometown starved to death, but his wife, who also earned a salary, died of starvation!"
"To put it bluntly, such a man is extremely selfish!"
Su Anqi spoke louder and louder, almost jumping up and down.
Su Anna rarely scolded her sister.
Because she also felt that Xiao Guodong had problems and was not worthy of their Sister Gu.
"Besides, this guy is so old, over 40 years old, almost 20 years older than Sister Gu."
To put it bluntly, he can become Sister Gu’s father!
"He has four children, three biological and one adopted. If Sister Gu marries him, she will have to be the stepmother of four children!"
Is it so easy to be a stepmother?
If you do well, you deserve the rewards;
If she does something even slightly less than what others expect, she will be called a vicious and evil woman.
"Sister Gu is so beautiful and powerful, why would she rush to be someone's stepmother?"
If you take your salary and serve that family, you may not get a good result even if you work yourself to death.
Not only will you wrong yourself, but you will also wrong your own children.
What's the point?
"No! I want to go find Sister Gu!"
Su Anqi was very worried.
She was really afraid that her sister Gu would be instigated by others and fall into the fire again because of her confusion.
“…I’ll go with you!”
Su Anna, who was always calm and thoughtful, could no longer sit still.
She, this is because she cares too much and becomes confused.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
The Su sisters in front of him, one was so anxious that she jumped up and down, and although the other did not lose her composure, there was unconcealable worry on her face and eyes.
Gu Qingcheng felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
They are truly doing this for their own good, without any selfish motives.
Su Anqi & Su Anna: ...Actually, I also have selfish motives.
If such a beautiful sister Gu remarried, she might have to move.
From now on, they can no longer be neighbors with Sister Gu and can no longer get along so closely!
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Well, even if they are selfish, the Su sisters’ selfishness is very cute and heartwarming.
"Look, is there anything written on my face?"
Gu Qingcheng raised her hand and pointed at her own beautiful face.
Su Anqi didn't react for a moment. She actually stared at Gu Qingcheng's stunning beauty for a long time, "No!"
Woohoo, Sister Gu is still so beautiful.
She went to the workshop every day, but her appearance was not diminished at all.
Her skin is as white as a peeled egg, without spots or pores, and is tender and rosy.
Su Anqi was so fond of him and so envious of him.
Su Anna was more rational and understood what Gu Qingcheng meant.
Sister Gu is saying that there are no words like "fool" or "sucker" written on her face.
Unfortunately, my little sister is so stupid that she didn't even understand it.
Or maybe An Qi was obsessed with sex and lost her ability to think normally! Seeing Gu Qingcheng calm and composed, Su Anna felt relieved. She even had the leisure to watch her sister do something stupid.
"Are you sure there's not 'big fool' written on one side of my face and 'big villain' written on the other?"
Su Anqi's silly little look was really interesting, so Gu Qingcheng continued to tease her.
Su Anqi: ...
No matter how stupid she was, she could hear the joking in Sister Gu's words.
"Sister Gu, you, you are so bad——"
"Hahaha!"
Gu Qingcheng and Su Anna laughed out loud together, and the courtyard was filled with joy.
Outside the yard, a few children were looking around...
Well, I have seen your opinions and suggestions. I will make adjustments. Please continue to support me!
