Chapter 664: The man is a gigolo (Twenty-four)
Gu's mother prides herself on her status and rarely throws a tantrum in front of others.
Well, my son is a university teacher and my daughter-in-law is the director of a supercomputing center. They are both educated people.
Gu's mother also started to be more "particular".
But this does not mean that Mother Gu has lost her fighting power.
When encountering a talkative person like Ning Lao San's wife, Gu's mother can teach her a lesson in minutes.
Gu's mother grabbed the other person's hair fiercely and dragged her out of the banquet.
There was a crazy and crackling sound, and a large clump of Ning Lao San's hair was pulled out, and there were several bloody scratches on his face.
The patched cotton coat was torn, revealing a lump of black and hard cotton.
One of his shoes had fallen off, revealing a torn sock with its big toe sticking out.
"I'll teach you how to be mean! I'll teach you how to scold my daughter-in-law!"
"Bah! My daughter-in-law is young and beautiful, a top student at Beijing University, and now she's even the dean. How dare you scold her?"
"My son is not a son-in-law, he is very capable!"
"He is not only Shuimu's teacher, but also an expert. Many scientific research institutions are vying to invite him, and he travels all over the country..."
Gu's mother was really angry. Her son and daughter-in-law were obviously very capable, but these ignorant shrews always spoke ill of them!
"No! I have to think of a way to let everyone know how amazing my son and daughter-in-law are!"
The battle was won! But Mother Gu did not feel the joy of victory - as a notorious shrew in Liujia Temple, it was normal for her to win, but it would be strange if she lost.
It's just basic stuff, nothing to be happy about.
Not to mention, even though she beat up the Ning Lao San's wife, other people in the village would still talk about it secretly.
Only by solving the problem from the root can we shut those people up completely! "Qingcheng is too busy, Xiaoqin should still have time."
"How about I think of a way to get Xiaoqin to visit our village?"
As long as Zhou Ziqin takes a walk around Liujia Temple in a glamorous and beautiful manner, everyone will shut up!
How could such a beautiful young lady be called a "unmarried but poor girl"? When Mother Gu got home, she told Father Gu all the same.
Father Gu: ...
He is a very honest guy and has no say at home.
As for Gu's mother, on the surface she was discussing something with him, but in fact she was just venting her anger one-sidedly.
Even if Father Gu spoke, Mother Gu would not care, let alone listen to him.
"The New Year has already passed. We can no longer ask Xiaoqin to come back for the New Year."
"But, besides the New Year, what else is there——"
Mother Gu continued to talk to herself, and her eyes began to roll around unconsciously.
Then, Mother Gu's eyes fell on Father Gu, who was squatting at the door smoking.
Father Gu: ...
For some reason, Father Gu shuddered.
…
After the first month of the lunar year, spring ploughing has not yet begun, so the villagers of Liujiamiao are still relatively idle.
Mother Gu took the notebook and rushed to the town.
"Comrade, please help me make a call, I want to make a long distance call!"
Gu's mother showed the page with Zhou Ziqin's phone number to the staff at the post office.
The other party took a look and reminded: "Long distance is not cheap!"
It would probably cost a few cents to make a phone call.
The old lady in front of me was wearing a gray slanted-collar jacket and her ear-length hair was fixed with a headband. There was not a single hair on her forehead.
Judging from her dress and temperament, she is obviously an old lady from the countryside.
Such people are the most frugal.
If you spend 1.4 cents to buy a pound of meat, you will probably feel bad for a long time.
Spending several cents to make a phone call? Tsk tsk, wouldn't you be so upset that you can't sleep for days and nights? "I know!"
Mother Gu pulled out a gray handkerchief with blue checkers from her trouser pocket, shook it open, and revealed a stack of banknotes.
Well, she's a rich old lady from the countryside! The staff member took a quick look and didn't try to persuade her. He looked at the phone number in the notebook and dialed it.
After a few beeps, the phone was picked up.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Ziqin!"
"Xiaoqin, I'm your mother."
"Mom, is there something wrong at home?"
"Ah, it's your father. He accidentally fell into a ditch when he went out and broke his leg. I don't understand anything. Your second brother went to school, and there were only two little ones left at home-"
"Mom, don't worry! I'll find a way! So, you take Dad to the hospital first, and I'll send you some money."
"Oh, I have money. I'm just anxious. By the way, is Qingcheng done with his work? Can he come back?"
"...Mother, Qingcheng has gone to the grassland again. There is a military factory there. We asked him to provide technical support!"
“…”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Mom, let's do this. I have time. I'll go back."
"Will it affect your work? When will you be back? I'll have someone pick you up at the county station!"
Mother Gu’s meaning was very clear, she just wanted her daughter-in-law to come back.
Zhou Ziqin on the other end of the phone: …
Her father-in-law was injured and her husband was too busy traveling around the country to return home to fulfill his filial duties, so it was up to her, the daughter-in-law, to take on the responsibility.
"Don't delay! I'll find someone to book a ticket right away. Mom, there's no need to pick me up at the station, I can do it myself!"
Zhou Ziqin said this and gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ziqin wanted to tell her husband.
After all, something happened to my father-in-law, and as his son, my husband must know about it even if he can't go back.
It just so happened that the place where her husband was on a business trip this time was also one of the Zhou family’s territories—the digital factory led by Zhou Erbo.
Zhou Ziqin was very familiar with the factory office's phone number.
Zhou Ziqin dialed the number without having to look up the phone book.
Soon, the phone rang and a steady male voice came from the receiver.
"Uncle, it's me, Ziqin!"
"Oh, Ziqin, are you looking for Qingcheng? Qingcheng is in the workshop and probably won't be back until noon!"
"Okay, I'll call you back at noon!"
"Is the matter urgent? How about I send someone to the workshop to call them back?"
"No hurry! Let's wait for him to come back."
"Good! And...keep an eye on your uncle!"
Zhou Erbo hesitated for a moment, but still gave a reminder.
Zhou Ziqin was stunned for a moment, "My uncle?"
Her maternal grandfather had three children, including her mother and two uncles.
My uncle disappeared during the war and there has been no news since then. We don’t know whether he is alive or dead.
My second uncle is in the capital and inherited half of my grandfather’s property.
The other half, naturally, was given to Zhou's mother.
However, Zhou's mother devoted herself to the revolution for love and belief in her early years. She was unable to raise her children herself and left them all to her parents.
Zhou Ziqin was raised by her grandparents.
Later, liberation came and my parents came back.
Zhou Ziqin followed her parents to the compound and lived with her grandparents and uncle.
However, the "influence" of outsiders on Zhou Ziqin is still great.
After consulting Zhou's mother, the grandfather directly gave all the property that should have been given to Zhou's mother to Zhou Ziqin.
Later, when public and private enterprises were merged, Zhou Ziqin only became a shareholder who received dividends and did not participate in the management of the industry.
On the contrary, Uncle Zhou Er was more stubborn and unwilling to give up the family business.
Could it be that he finally got into trouble because of all this?
