Chapter 241: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Fifty-three)
"Sister, I heard from Aunt Niu that my brother-in-law's 'younger brother' seems to have made a fortune recently!"
"I bought a bicycle! And I put on shiny new leather shoes!"
"Isn't he an apprentice boilermaker? Where does he get so much money?"
Gu Si's wife is like a qualified gossip carrier. She shares accurate news about the surrounding alleys with Gu Qingcheng every day.
Qiao Weiguo? When Gu Qingcheng heard this person, she couldn't help but think of a person whose face was quite in line with the aesthetics of this era, but whose eyes were restless.
He is Suanna's "official match".
If Su Anna had not awakened, he would have married Su Anna, and then used the Su family's connections to step by step reach the peak of his life.
“More than that!”
Huoshui sensed Gu Qingcheng's thoughts and jumped out to say, "The Su family still has some antiques and calligraphy and paintings, which Qiao Weiguo helped to 'hide'."
"The things were saved, but the surname was changed from Su to Qiao."
"In the late 1970s, Qiao Weiguo relied on the Su family's assets to obtain the original capital for starting a business, and then became the richest man of his generation."
"Of course, Qiao Weiguo didn't burn his bridges. Even though he has many female confidantes, his only legal wife is Su Anna."
Gu Qingcheng: ...
These words were so full of complaints that she didn't even know where to start.
Moreover, inexplicably, Gu Qingcheng had a strange sense of "familiarity".
Her husband in her previous life, Yuwen Heng, was also so affectionate and loyal.
With the support of the Gu family and the assistance of Gu Qingcheng, he ascended the throne.
Then, he began to have a concubine on his left and a confidante on his right.
Gu Qingcheng had the throne of queen but was neglected.
Yuwen Heng felt that he was very loyal and righteous, as he had given Gu Qingcheng the honor of being his legal wife.
Coupled with Gu Qingcheng's ugly appearance and Yuwen Heng's various philanderings, many court officials and even the people felt that it was "natural"! "..." Thinking of her own experience, Gu Qingcheng's fists hardened.
"However, thanks to your Majesty the Queen, Su Anna no longer becomes a stepping stone for Qiao Weiguo's success."
Huoshui didn't know what Gu Qingcheng was thinking, and continued happily, "And he is courting death now—"
Having said this, Huoshui deliberately paused for a moment, leaving the audience in suspense.
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to listen. She waved her hand and said, "Without Su Anna, Qiao Weiguo would just be an ordinary boilerman apprentice!"
But now he is buying a bicycle and a pair of big leather shoes, obviously taking a "shortcut".
Haha, there are no shortcuts in the world. Either you sacrifice your conscience, or you sacrifice your freedom or even your life! Gu Qingcheng didn't want to know what Qiao Weiguo was doing, but she bet that this guy would soon be with Lu Xinhua!
In fact, he is even worse than Lu Xinhua!
Trouble: ...
I want to keep something a secret, but I can't sell it. This feeling is a bit frustrating.
But before Huoshui could say anything, Gu Qingcheng threw it into the small dark room again.
"Also, the Bai family is making trouble too!"
"Didn't our cousin Gu Changhe want to change the surname of his second child?"
While Gu Qingcheng was chatting with Huoshui, Gu Si's wife, who was still sharing gossip, changed the topic.
"Yes! You said this before. Aunt Liu didn't spoil him. Not only did she change the surname of the baby in Bai Sini's belly to Gu, she also changed the surname of the eldest son."
Gu Qingcheng knew quite a bit about Widow Liu's family affairs.
In fact, when she first saw Gu Changhe in the slum, she felt that the "harmony" in this family would not last long!
Gu Changhe is obviously a "proud" man, and he doesn't want to be a son-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, Gu Qingcheng was worried that Widow Liu and Bai Sini might suffer.
Once a son-in-law turns against his wife, he will not show any gratitude or affection at all.
For a recent case, you can refer to Meng Yao’s adoptive father Yu Xingwang.
Gu Changhe may not be as conscienceless as Yu Xingwang, but his character is not tough and he also has his own little calculations.
When the secular perspective and the criticism around him are almost unbearable, he will "turn hostile"! Especially after he had a stable job and his cousin Gu Xiaoni became a master chef in the factory, Gu Changhe could no longer tolerate it.
So, after Bai Si Ni miscarried her second child, Gu Changhe went to "discuss" with Widow Liu: "Mom, when this child is born, let's give him the surname Gu."
"I am a man after all, I can't be without a successor."
"But don't worry, the eldest brother's surname is still Bai, and he is your grandson!"
Gu Changhe felt that he had been very reasonable and had taken the overall situation into consideration.
However, Widow Liu deeply felt Gu Changhe's restlessness from his words.
What made Widow Liu even more angry was Bai Sini’s attitude.
This damn girl didn't object to Gu Changhe's words, but instead showed an attitude of acquiescence!
It just so happened that Yu Xingwang’s incident happened at that time—
The son-in-law took over his father-in-law's property and oppressed his own daughter who had taken his father-in-law's surname.
He said he had found an apprentice, but in fact he was his own son! This calculation and this cruelty really frightened Widow Liu.
Widow Liu was a woman who was able to keep her house and job after her husband passed away. She was also able to raise her three daughters and find a son-in-law for her youngest daughter.
She is not an ordinary housewife.
She knew very well: every mother-in-law is different from every other mother-in-law.
Gu Changhe is a son-in-law who lives with the family, and his mother-in-law, Widow Liu, is the head of the family.
But if Gu Changhe had other ideas and wanted to change his marriage into a normal wife-in-law, then the mother-in-law, Widow Liu, would be an old burden who relied on her daughter and son-in-law for food!
no!
Absolutely not!
Widow Liu didn't want to put herself in such a passive situation.
But the daughter was confused and was coaxed by Gu Changhe. Not only did she insist on marrying into the family, she also looked like "it's okay to change the surname"!
Widow Liu was immediately annoyed, "Change it! Not only the child in your belly, but also the eldest child can be changed!"
"My Bai family has no shortage of grandchildren!"
"Your eldest sister has three sons. I will adopt the second son as my grandson!"
"You are a family of three, oh no, a family of four, so go to Gu's house!"
"This house belongs to the Bai family. Si Ni wants to marry into the family, so I'm leaving the house to you!"
"Now that you regret it, get out of here!"
Widow Liu also took a gamble.
In fact, she was also worried that if Gu Xiaoni really sided with Gu Changhe and helped this distant cousin, then, she might not be able to continue this play.
However, Widow Liu finally took the gamble! She had no choice but to take the gamble!
The son-in-law has his own ideas, and the daughter is also a fool.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If Widow Liu had not been tougher and nipped the problem in the bud, she, her fourth daughter and her son would probably have ended up badly.
"Xiao Ni is a good one! And I'm nice to her too!"
"She won't repay kindness with enmity!"
"I don't ask for anything in return, I just ask her not to protect her relatives and not others!"
With such a glimmer of hope, Widow Liu resolutely drove Gu Changhe's family out, and then brought her eldest daughter's grandson over.
The eldest daughter's family was naturally happy.
It’s just a change of surname. He is still your son even if you change his surname.
She has three sons, all grown up now.
One by one, they want a job, a house, and to get married!
If the second child is "adopted" to the mother's family, the housing problem can be solved.
As for a job, I have some private money, so I can definitely help you get one! In this way, Widow Liu had a fifteen-year-old grandson, Bai Chaomei.
Just as Bai Dani had expected, Widow Liu spent more than a hundred yuan to get Bai Chaomei a temporary job.
Gu Changhe and Bai Sini were dumbfounded at first, and then they regretted it.
They never expected that Widow Liu would be so strong and would chase people away without hesitation.
And let them go back to Gu's house? Gu's house is in the countryside, how can they go back? Besides, even if they really go back, there is no place for Gu Changhe to live.
Fortunately, Bai Sini worked in a guesthouse and had some connections, so she managed to rent a small room nearby.
The family of three finally did not end up living on the streets.
But, how can renting a house be as comfortable as living at home? Not only do you have to pay for rent, you also have to spend money on buying food and cooking.
There are also children, but no one to take care of them, so they have to be sent to a red education class.
The red education class also costs money! After a month, Bai Sini found that her family had to spend an extra twenty yuan.
Half a month’s salary is gone!
As for her biological mother, she really treated Bai Chaomei as her grandson.
Both help with finding a job and arrange for someone to become a disciple.
The same thing goes for Gu Xiaoni. She and Gu Changhe are obviously a family, but she went to help Widow Liu.
Thanks to Gu Qingcheng, Bai Chaomei became a regular worker in the steel rolling mill, and Widow Liu was so proud.
There's wind in the air when I walk.
Gu Changhe was unwilling to give up, so he secretly went to find Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng treated him as a relative from her hometown and called him "Brother Changhe" all the time.
But that’s all.
She pretended not to understand Gu Changhe's request for help.
Gu Changhe: ...
Why is it like this again?
Yes! "Again!" Gu Changhe found that ever since he moved out of the compound with his wife and children, his popularity plummeted.
His neighbors looked at him with accusation and disdain, and his colleagues began to distance themselves from him.
A good friend said something to him from the bottom of his heart: "Changhe, you are not kind!"
He became a live-in son-in-law and received benefits from the Bai family, but he turned his back on them! What's the difference between him and Lao Yu from the West Street Restaurant?
He is so heartless even to his father-in-law and his family who have done him favors. Who would dare to make friends with such an ungrateful person?
Moral constraints are still very strong these days.
People who have no conscience and repay kindness with enmity will be feared and rejected by others! Gu Changhe was "socially dead" as expected.
"Oh, what happened to Gu Changhe again?"
Gu Qingcheng also didn't want to associate with ungrateful people.
Not because it's bad, but because it's too stupid!
"He went back and knelt down to admit his mistake to Aunt Liu!"
Gu Si's wife was so excited when she talked about gossip.
"Did Aunt Liu forgive him? And let them move back?"
Gu Qingcheng guessed without even thinking about it.
Gu Si's wife widened her eyes, "How do you know?"
Gu Qingcheng smiled but said nothing. How did she know? The reason was simple. Aunt Liu was a smart person and understood the principle of "checks and balances".
Aunt Liu is smart and Xiao Guodong is not stupid either.
He had set his sights on Han Tiexin, but instead of rushing to find someone to act as a matchmaker, he started spreading rumors...
PS: Oh, oh, the monthly tickets are over 900, and there are still three days until the end of the month. Can you guys exceed 1,000? Fingers crossed!
