Chapter 660: The man is the gigolo (Twenty)
"Your daughter-in-law?"
"Is she the daughter of that big capitalist?"
"No way, there is still a daughter-in-law who is so filial to her parents-in-law?"
"I heard that the girls in the city are so delicate that their eyes are on the top of their heads!"
"...Qingcheng, you are not bragging, are you?"
"Yes, your Qingcheng is a filial son, we all know that. But your daughter-in-law——"
They are all middle-aged and elderly women, and they have all become mothers-in-law.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most delicate and most hostile.
If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not have a falling out and can at least maintain some respect for each other, then their relationship is already very harmonious.
As Gu's mother boasted, her son didn't even bother to go back home, and everything was taken care of by his daughter-in-law herself. This was something that only happened in dreams!
"Tsk, you brag every day that you married a good daughter-in-law. If your daughter-in-law is really filial, why don't you stay in the capital?"
"That's right. I'm usually busy with work and it's far away so I can't go back to my hometown. Now it's Chinese New Year and I don't even want to come back!"
"... Let me tell you, it's obvious that the rich young lady doesn't like her humble parents-in-law."
Not everyone wants to see other people's families happy and beautiful.
The mentality of "hating others for having and laughing at others for not having" is the instinct of many people.
In the past year, the Gu family was the most prominent.
Gu Qingcheng was originally the most promising young man in Liujiamiao. In the first half of the year, he even brought his parents and siblings to the capital.
That’s the capital city, with squares, palaces, and where nobles live.
It is a place that many people dream of.
It would have been fine if they had just gone to the capital, but when the Gu family came back, they carried so many bags and were so fancy-looking that some of the villagers almost went crazy.
Watches, radios, new clothes, new leather shoes.
Even a loser like Gu Laoshi started smoking cigarettes.
As soon as he returned to the village, before entering the village, Gu Laoshi took out his cigarette box and smoked a lot of cigarettes under the big locust tree.
A pack of cigarettes cost 1.2 cents, and after one toast, it was gone! Everyone else felt sorry for Gu Laoshi.
As a result, the village's famously honest man actually looked disapproving.
"Rich! The Gu family is really rich!"
"That's impossible. Gu Qingcheng just went to college, why is he acting like a capitalist?"
"It's better to study. I want my son to go to college and go to Beijing!"
"...You guys don't know this, right? Qingcheng from the Gu family married a good wife!"
"What? Gu Qingcheng got married? When did it happen?"
"Who said capitalist just now? It's so accurate! Gu Qingcheng didn't become a capitalist, but he married a capitalist's daughter."
"…No wonder the Gu family has suddenly become rich! Even a loser like Gu Laoshi wears a watch!"
"Is it a marriage between the two families?"
"No! But it's almost the same as a live-in son-in-law. The house is the woman's dowry, and she also bought so many good things for the Gu family."
When the people in the village saw the Gu family returning home in glory, they were filled with envy and hatred.
Well-intentioned discussions, malicious slander, and countless rumors filled the entire village.
Gu's mother was the most aggressive. Upon hearing the news, she rushed into the house of a village woman who had a grudge against her and made a big fuss.
"I'll tear your mouth apart! I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Who said that my family's Qingcheng married into the family? Let me tell you, our Gu family married a daughter-in-law!"
"What? No betrothal gift? The woman even gave a house as a dowry? Yes! These are all true, but that's also because of my son's ability!"
"Humph, your son wants the girl to pay for him, but she doesn't want to."
"My daughter-in-law is happy about it. She has money, is willing to spend it on my son, and is also willing to be filial to us!"
"You are so envious, even if your eyes bleed from envy, there is nothing you can do. It's because your son is incompetent."
Gu's mother was beaten from the yard to the street, and from the street to the village entrance.
Almost everyone in the village came to watch the fun.
Mother Gu showed off confidently to the villagers who were surrounding her in circles, pinching her waist.
"Hey, my son is good-looking and good at studying. He is a top student in Shuimu!"
"My daughter-in-law just likes my son."
"Hey, the dowry house is not just one room, but a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits."
"By the way, the watches, leather shoes and clothes that were bought for us are also gifts from my daughter-in-law."
"Bah! How dare you laugh at my son? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own family? You gave birth to a jerk. Even if you build a house for him and give him a dowry, he still can't find a wife!"
Mother Gu was outputting like crazy.
She looked like a very classy old lady from the countryside.
Some people couldn't stand it and whispered: "How can you be considered 'capable' if you don't spend any money to marry a wife?"
This man appeared to be righteously indignant, but there was still envy in his words.
"He is indeed capable! Who doesn't want to marry a wife without spending any money? But apart from Gu Qingcheng, whose son in our Liujia Temple can do it?"
"That girl from Qingcheng is really good! She's good-looking and a college student, which is rare for city girls."
People in the village are like this. No matter what they say, they are actually envious in their hearts.
After Gu's mother made a fuss, the turmoil over the "marrying-in-law" was settled.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
More villagers pulled Gu's mother aside and asked her about everything going on in the capital.
Mother Gu sat under the locust tree with a big horse and a golden sword, and began to brag to a group of villagers -
"Let me tell you, Beijing is very big, the roads are very wide, and there are buses."
"The streets are full of bicycles, all shiny and new, looking so impressive."
"The square is very large, and the palace and the Great Wall are also very good..."
"Have you ever eaten roast duck? Oh my, the duck skin is roasted until it's sizzling with oil. Wrap it with a small pancake and dip it in the sauce. It's so delicious!"
"By the way, have you heard of Lao Mo? That's a Western restaurant. You have to use forks to eat, and those forks are made of silver."
"And there's a big hotel in Beijing. My son got married there..."
Every word that Gu's mother said could cause the audience to exclaim in amazement.
At the end, everyone was desperately snorting.
Not only was the food in Beijing that Gu's mother mentioned making people salivate, but the wonderful life she described for her son also made everyone envious! "Gu Qingcheng is really promising!"
"Yes, even if I am a married woman, it is worth it to be able to live like this!"
"What do you mean by marrying into the family? Aren't you afraid that Gu Laoshi's family will come to your house and make trouble?"
"Oh, that's what I said! What I meant is that Gu Qingcheng is quite enviable!"
From the time Gu's mother came back until the end of the year, for more than half a year, she and Gu Qingcheng were the focus of discussion in the entire Liujia Temple and even in the surrounding area.
Especially Gu Qingcheng, who married a capitalist daughter, became the "idol" of countless young men.
Ning Zecheng: ...
Alas, if he didn’t know what would happen next, he would also envy Gu Qingcheng.
What a pity! Ning Zecheng didn't know whether Gu Qingcheng was born in the wrong era or married the wrong wife.
Miss Capitalist, this itself is a bomb.
What about Gu Qingcheng? He actually became Shuimu's teacher. This was the second surprise.
This couple has a debuff, right?
Ning Zecheng couldn’t imagine that in another ten years, oh no, not ten years, if he was unlucky, next year, oh no, this year, then—
As a time traveler who knows history and is familiar with the plot, Ning Zecheng really sympathizes with Gu Qingcheng.
"...Look, there's a name written on the package. Here, Zhou Ziqin, this is my daughter-in-law's name!"
At the entrance of the village, next to the big locust tree, Gu's mother dragged the package over, pointed at the words on it and spoke to everyone.
In fact, she couldn't read, but in the past six months, she had received too many packages sent by her daughter-in-law.
Gu's second brother and his friends would point to the three words and tell Gu's mother: "Mom, look, this is my eldest sister-in-law's name!"
"Zhou, Zi, Qin!"
Just these three words, after seeing them many times, Gu's mother naturally recognized them.
Almost all of the middle-aged and elderly women who gathered around Gu's mother to watch the fun were illiterate.
"Qingcheng's mother, are you doing this on purpose? Who among us can read?"
"That's right! Stop pretending! When did you learn to read?"
Mother Gu: ...
She took a deep breath, and in order to continue to prove that these things were indeed sent by her daughter-in-law, she looked around and found Ningze City passing by.
"Ning Zhiqing! You can read! Come and help me take a look!"
Ning Zecheng: ...I was just a bystander, how did I get dragged into this?
