Chapter 690 The male protagonist lives off his wife (Fifty)
Before marrying Gu Qingcheng, Zhou Ziqin knew Xiao Hongmei.
She also knew that Xiao Hongmei was only one step away from marrying Gu Qingcheng.
In fact, Xiao Hongmei and others are complete strangers to Zhou Ziqin.
She hadn't even met this woman.
But Xiao Hongmei has another identity - her husband's ex-girlfriend.
Zhou Ziqin is a noble young lady, and she also has a certain amount of pride.
She won't bother with irrelevant people, and she won't be jealous.
But Xiao Hongmei is different——
"I heard that she's not doing well!"
Speaking of which, Xiao Hongmei's family background is somewhat similar to Zhou Ziqin's.
Xiao Hongmei's father is a veteran and her mother is a lady from a scholarly family.
After liberation, Xiao's father was transferred back to the capital, and his mother went to Shuimu to teach.
Four years ago, before the storm, Xiao Hongmei lived a carefree and carefree life, and was even recommended to study in the country of Goose due to her wealthy family background.
The second year after Xiao Hongmei left, something happened to Xiao Hongmei's grandfather.
Her mother was implicated, but fortunately, Xiao's father did his best to save her.
However, because of this incident, Xiao's father's future was hindered and he was "transferred" to Jizhou.
Xiao Hongmei is better, after all she is not in the country.
However, this year, the two brothers had a complete falling out and the experts withdrew.
The brothers who were once close to each other finally became opponents.
Xiao Hongmei's situation became awkward.
She had to return home!
After returning to China, Xiao Hongmei's situation became even more difficult.
...Originally, these had nothing to do with Zhou Ziqin.
But for some reason, Zhou Ziqin had a guilty feeling.
If nothing unexpected happened, the person who had been protected by Gu Qingcheng and had lived a good life should be Xiao Hongmei.
All the happiness she and Zhou Ziqin have now was stolen from Xiao Hongmei.
With this thought, Zhou Ziqin felt more and more guilty, and even had a strong sense of uneasiness——
After all, stolen things do not belong to you, and there will always be a day when they will be taken back by someone else.
Zhou Ziqin doesn't want to lose her husband, and she doesn't want to lose her current happy life!
Zhou Ziqin was entangled in negative emotions such as entanglement, contradiction, hesitation, worry, etc., making her a little depressed.
Gu Qingcheng did not rush to respond to Zhou Ziqin's topic, but reached out and held Zhou Ziqin's wrist.
Zhou Ziqin: ...
She looked at her husband's handsome and thoughtful face, then looked down at her wrist and his long, white fingers.
Uh, if she was not mistaken, her husband was taking her pulse?
No! They were chatting, and her husband didn't respond to her. He dropped the book in his hand and came to her.
And, he seemed to be checking her pulse? And, her husband actually knew Chinese medicine? She knew her husband was omnipotent, but every time, he could bring Zhou Ziqin unexpected surprises.
No, now is not the time to think about these things. What should I be thinking about?
Zhou Ziqin's mind was in a mess and she had no idea what her husband was doing.
"Xiaoqin, you're pregnant!"
Pregnant women are prone to having wild thoughts.
If not addressed in time, it may develop into prenatal depression.
Zhou Ziqin: (⊙_⊙) I’m pregnant?
How come I don't know? Besides, we are talking about Xiao Hongmei.
Zhou Ziqin's brain was still in a state of confusion. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or continue to struggle.
Gu Qingcheng took her hand and let her sit on a chair beside her.
She squatted down and looked Zhou Ziqin in the eye. "Ziqin, do you know why I didn't go abroad with Xiao Hongmei?"
Zhou Ziqin: "Why?"
"Because Xiao Hongmei and I have differences on issues of principle."
"Principles? What principles?"
"Xiao Hongmei hopes that after I marry her, we can form a new small family."
Zhou Ziqin: ...That’s right.
Aren’t they now a brand new independent little family?
Both sets of parents were present, but neither set of parents interfered in the lives of the young couple.
The three of them lived a happy and fulfilling life.
And this kind of life really should belong to Xiao Hongmei.
When Gu Qingcheng saw Zhou Ziqin's expression changing from time to time, she knew that she was still stuck in a dead end.
She gently held Zhou Ziqin's hand and continued, "It's different! The small family that Xiao Hongmei wants is different from the small family we have now."
"She doesn't want me to have too much involvement with my parents, brothers and sisters, nor does she like me to have any contact with the folks in my hometown!"
"How can this be possible? You didn't come out of a crack in a rock, how can you cut off contact with your relatives and fellow villagers?"
Zhou Ziqin's thoughts were finally stimulated by Gu Qingcheng and began to run along the normal track.
"Yes! You see, this is the biggest difference between you and Xiao Hongmei."
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyes and looked deeply at Zhou Ziqin, "Not only am I not Sun Wukong, I am also a Phoenix Man."
"Phoenix man? What does that mean?"
The generation gap made Zhou Ziqin unable to understand this derogatory term used in later generations.
Gu Qingcheng explained with a smile, "A golden phoenix flew out of the mountain valley, relying on his own ability to get a rich and powerful wife, and then brought his family to eat his wife's soft rice!"
"Nonsense! You are not some Phoenix man! You are a dragon soaring in the sky!"
Zhou Ziqin quit immediately.
"What Phoenix Man? He clearly looks down on you and is humiliating you!"
After four years of marriage, Zhou Ziqin has never felt that her husband is a gigolo, nor is he a so-called Phoenix man.
"But, Xiaoqin, you have to admit that you have indeed paid a lot since we got married."
"My salary is only so much, and I have to send half back home. The family expenses, supercomputing center, chip factory, etc. are all your dowry."
"And you spent a lot of money on your parents."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Gu Qingcheng did not avoid the fact that she was a gigolo and recounted every detail of Zhou Ziqin's efforts over the past four years.
Zhou Ziqin still disagreed, "That's not what I meant!"
"I have money, not after I married you, but since I was born."
"This is not my problem, nor is it your problem."
"We are a couple and have formed a family together, so we must work hard for our family."
Zhou Ziqin really never cared about the gains and losses of money.
Perhaps, in her current situation, she can really pretend to be cool and say, "Everything that can be solved with money is not a problem."
If she could spend some money to make the couple love each other and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live in harmony, Zhou Ziqin would definitely be willing to do so.
In fact, Zhou Ziqin has done so in the past four years.
The result made her even more satisfied.
She and Gu Qingcheng love each other very much, and she is polite to her parents-in-law. Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law also respect her as the "eldest sister-in-law".
Life is so harmonious and beautiful!
Huh? Wait!
Zhou Ziqin, who had become sensitive and thoughtful due to the hormones in her body due to her pregnancy, suddenly realized -
She has the happy life she has now thanks to her own efforts!
If Xiao Hongmei married Gu Qingcheng, it might not be the case.
Just as she realized this, Zhou Ziqin heard Gu Qingcheng's voice again: "Xiao Hongmei doesn't agree with this."
"She loves me, but she just wants me to cut ties with my family of origin."
"She was willing to help me with money and career, but she wanted me to cut off all ties with my parents and other relatives as a prerequisite."
"She won't be as filial to her parents as you are. She won't treat my second brother and his family as her own siblings either."
"She is the daughter of a rich family, and I am just a son-in-law who married into the family."
At this point, Gu Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips, her voice was soft but her tone was firm, "Xiaoqin, you know me, I have my pride, and I also have my responsibilities."
"The opportunity to study abroad in Goose Country is very rare, but I am the eldest son of the Gu family and the pride of the entire Liujia Temple. I can't just do it for myself."
"So, Xiao Hongmei and I are destined to never be together. Even if we force ourselves to be together, we won't be happy in the end."
Gu Qingcheng has a very clear understanding of Xiao Hongmei, his ex-girlfriend, or to be exact, his official partner.
There is no doubt that she loves Gu Qingcheng.
But she loves herself more.
It’s not that Zhou Ziqin doesn’t love herself, but she is more sincere than Xiao Hongmei.
Zhou Ziqin is not as torn as Xiao Hongmei——
On the one hand, she loves Gu Qingcheng, but on the other hand, she despises his original family.
Apart from the fact that he loves her or not, it is probably because Zhou Ziqin is richer and more open-minded.
This is probably the biggest difference between Zhou Ziqin and Xiao Hongmei:
Zhou Ziqin was the eldest daughter of a capitalist family since she was born. Even in times of war, she still lived a life of luxury.
She has no concept of money.
As for Xiao Hongmei, for some reasons, her parents sent her to live with a fellow villager when she was a child.
She has lived a hard life since childhood and has seen the reality that "poor couples have many sorrows."
Although she was taken back home by her parents after only a few years of living like this, the memories were too deep and affected her whole life.
This also created a rather contradictory mentality in her: although she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she was actually very inferior at heart.
"Xiaoqin, you know, my teacher and many of my classmates and colleagues firmly believe that you and I are a perfect match!"
Gu Qingcheng squeezed Zhou Ziqin's hand vigorously and deliberately said sweet words in a joking tone, "You are rich, I am talented. You love me, I love you."
"You are willing to give everything for me, and I am willing to give everything to protect you!"
So, our happiness is the result of our joint efforts, it is not stolen by you, and it has nothing to do with other people!
Zhou Ziqin looked at her husband steadily. In his clear and bright eyes, she saw her own reflection clearly.
There is only her.
"..." Zhou Ziqin pursed her lips. She had so many things to say.
But when it came to his lips, all he could say was, "Hey, we are already an old married couple, why are you saying these things?"
Then, Zhou Ziqin realized belatedly, "I'm pregnant? Oh, our Xiaobei is going to have a brother and a sister!"
Xiaobei is the name of their daughter. When Zhou Ziqin confirmed her pregnancy, Gu Qingcheng was working as a support staff in a digital factory in Liaodong, so Zhou Ziqin simply named the child Gu Nianbei.
The one in my belly can also be named in the same way. Hmm, let's call it Gu Nianxi...
