Chapter 674 The man is a gigolo (thirty-four)
"Xiaoqin, this is Qingcheng's grandpa and grandma!"
Although they were extremely unhappy, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu had already shamelessly entered the house, and Mother Gu couldn't kick them out.
She could only force a smile and introduce her daughter-in-law.
"Grandpa! Grandma!"
Zhou Ziqin had already learned about the grievances among the older generation of the Gu family from Gu Qingcheng, Gu's second brother and others.
She knew that her parents-in-law and Grandpa Gu did not get along well.
The two families had long since stopped communicating.
But, ever since Gu Qingcheng went to college, Grandpa Gu came to visit him again.
They are our elders and the blood ties can never be severed.
Grandpa Gu took the initiative to show goodwill, so even someone as fierce as Mother Gu couldn't continue to hate him.
If she did that, she would not be a shrew but a wicked woman.
Even those who once sympathized with her would turn around and accuse her of being unfilial.
"Even if the old man is partial, he still raised Gu Laoshi and gave him a wife!"
"That's right. No matter what, they are Gu Laoshi's parents. How can a younger generation be so disobedient?"
Mother Gu may not care about such criticism.
But she had to consider her son.
She was a well-known shrew, and that was how her life would be.
My son can’t do this!
He was the first college student in the county and the pride of the entire Gu family.
He is going to be a leader in the future and accomplish great things.
A person like Gu Qingcheng cannot have a pair of disobedient and unfilial parents.
For the sake of her son, Gu's mother reluctantly "reconciled" with the old house.
Today, also for the sake of her son, even though Mother Gu was extremely disgusted, she had to smile and pretend that everything was fine.
As for Zhou Ziqin, like Gu's mother, she does everything for her husband.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were both strangers to her, and she had no likes or dislikes for them.
At most, she felt sorry for Gu's mother, the good mother-in-law. Zhou Ziqin could not regard this biased old couple as relatives.
But, it’s not to the point of hating them.
So, Zhou Ziqin just has one attitude - polite.
"Hey! Good! That's great!"
"Qingcheng is so lucky to have married such a good wife!"
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu couldn't stop smiling when they saw their young, beautiful and elegant granddaughter-in-law.
They completely forgot about the grudges they had with the second brother's family, as if they were really kind and loving elders.
Mother Gu: ...Humph, if you really want a Qingcheng wife, why don’t you show some expression?
You guys are just talking, why don't you give me a red envelope?
Complaining secretly, Mother Gu still maintained a smile, "This is Qingcheng's uncle and aunt."
"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"
Zhou Ziqin recognized her relatives obediently.
She didn't care whether there was a red envelope or not. Anyway, she was not going to kowtow according to the rural custom.
She was just saying hello politely.
For the rest, just pretend to be confused.
If there are some short-sighted people who want to find fault, Zhou Ziqin doesn't mind showing them what a real capitalist lady is.
She can be filial and well-behaved to her parents-in-law because they know what's going on.
They may not be able to treat themselves as their own daughters, but they know how to "love the house and love the dog".
For the sake of their son, they are willing to treat their daughter-in-law well.
This is enough!
Zhou Ziqin, for the sake of her husband, can also respect and be filial to her parents-in-law.
As for the other people in her husband's family, they are just relatives, not family members! Zhou Ziqin has never been a gentle, virtuous, and submissive little woman.
She is rich and has a good family background, so even if she marries someone of her social status, she cannot be compatible with him.
She only respects people who are worthy and will not compromise herself for a false reputation.
"Xiaoqin, this is Third Uncle and Third Aunt!"
"...I dare not! People in the city are different from us country folk. Is this how you recognize your relatives?"
Just as Zhou Ziqin was thinking about it, someone jumped out to find fault with her.
Aunt Gu looked chubby and had a kind face.
The first thing he said was a needle hidden in a cotton ball.
When Mother Gu heard her speak, she subconsciously clenched her back teeth.
This damn woman is always like this.
Looks friendly, but actually insidious.
Gu's mother was separated from her husband as soon as she got married. Although her parents-in-law were partial to her, Aunt Gu San, who came into the family earlier than her, was making trouble behind her back.
Over the past twenty years, even though Mother Gu had a falling out with the old house, she often quarreled with Aunt Gu and other sisters-in-law.
Aunt Gu San did not rush into battle rashly. She always put on a kind and honest face, hiding in the corner to fan the flames and take the opportunity to give acupuncture.
"Mom, I heard that when a new bride recognizes her relatives, she has to give a red envelope?"
Aunt Gu San wanted to find fault under the pretext of so-called "recognition of relatives", but Zhou Ziqin would not tolerate it at all.
She pretended to be excited and said, "That's great! We have so many relatives in the Gu family, we should be able to give a lot of red envelopes."
"By the way, when Qingcheng came to my house, my grandfather gave him a gun as a gift."
"My uncle and aunt gave me a red envelope of 660 yuan. My second uncle is not in Beijing, but he also asked someone to transport a cow and a sheep from the grassland."
"My grandfather gave Qingcheng a gold pocket watch, and my second uncle gave Qingcheng a radio factory..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhou Ziqin fiddled with her fingers, counting one by one the "greeting gifts" that her relatives had given to Gu Qingcheng.
Then, she looked at Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, Third Uncle Gu and others with hope in her eyes.
Her expression was so obvious: Dear in-laws, have you prepared the red envelopes?
As long as you dare to give it to me, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!
Grandpa Gu and other members of the Gu family: ...
Not only them, but also the villagers who were gathered in the house, the yard, and even on the courtyard wall were all dumbfounded when they heard it.
A red envelope of six hundred and sixty?
A cow or a sheep as a gift?
Oh, and what about guns, a gold pocket watch, and a factory?!
This, this is just a "welcome gift"! If you take out any of them, it will bankrupt you.
Outsiders were just watching the fun and were not afraid of making trouble. They all started to make a noise, "Yes! The rule in our village is that you have to kneel down to recognize your relatives!"
“But you have to give a red envelope too!”
"Haha, Mrs. Gu, you want your niece-in-law to kowtow and offer you tea. What kind of gift have you prepared?"
"Is it money? Or meat? Or some other good stuff?"
Aunt Gu's face turned green.
Do you want to listen to what you are talking about? Money? Meat? Ha, even if I have it, I won't give it to outsiders.
She was just jealous that Gu's mother had a city girl as her daughter-in-law, who was young, beautiful and rich.
The key point is that she doesn't have the arrogance or pride of "marrying down" at all.
Treating mother-in-law Gu's mother even better than Aunt Gu's own daughter-in-law! After all, whether the daughter-in-law is sincere or not, the mother-in-law knows best.
Aunt Gu could see clearly that Zhou Ziqin, her niece's wife, was much better than her own daughter-in-law! She couldn't help being jealous.
She knew that Mother Gu was hot-tempered, but she also knew that on a day like today, Mother Gu would definitely not dare to act like a spoiled brat!
She is shameless and she still wants to save the face of her son and daughter-in-law.
But, I never expected it!
Before Mother Gu got angry, Zhou Ziqin, a quiet and gentle young lady of a capitalist family, spoke first.
And are you sure she wasn't bragging about what she said?
Mother Wei seemed to sense some people's doubts and sorted her things casually.
Buckets of milk powder, bags of snacks, and all kinds of canned food.
A new set of clothes, brand new leather shoes, cloth shoes...
Oh, and a few jewelry boxes.
When I opened it, I found golden earrings, rings, etc.
Everyone: ...Is this what the daughter-in-law prepared for her parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law?
Not to mention just going home to visit relatives, you can even use it as a betrothal gift or a dowry.
Therefore, Zhou Ziqin didn't need to say anything. Just by looking at these things, everyone knew -
What Qingcheng Wife said just now is all true! Everyone finally has a deep understanding of the words "capitalist lady"! She is really rich!
I have money and I am willing to spend it on my husband’s family!
Well, that's the point.
Mother Gu had gold earrings put on her by her daughter-in-law herself, and she felt dizzy.
Haha, after living half her life, she can now wear gold and silver like a rich lady.
The key point is that this is the filial piety of the daughter-in-law.
Hahaha, without even looking, Mother Gu knew that her mother-in-law and her sisters-in-law were so jealous that their eyes were about to bleed! What a relief!
She has never been so happy in her life!
However, good times are destined to be broken.
"Qingcheng's mother called and said she wanted to find Qingcheng's wife!"
"It sounds very urgent, it seems like something has happened!"
Just when everyone was envious, jealous and resentful, and Gu's mother was showing off, anxious shouts were heard outside the yard.
