Gu's mother prides herself on her status and rarely throws a tantrum in front of others.
Ahem, my son is a university teacher and my daughter-in-law is the director of a supercomputing center. They are both cultured people.
Gu's mother also started to be "particular" about it.
However, 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.
Mother Gu 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 several bloody scratches were left on his face.
The patched cotton coat was torn, revealing a black and hard lump of 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 Peking 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's not only Shuimu's teacher, but also an expert. Many research institutes are vying to hire him, and he travels all over the country..."
Mother Gu was really angry. Her son and daughter-in-law were both very capable, but these ignorant shrews always spoke ill of them!
"No! I have to find a way to let everyone know how amazing my son and daughter-in-law are!"
The battle was won!
However, Mother Gu did not feel the joy of victory - as a notorious shrew in Liujiamiao, it was normal for her to win the fight, and 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 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 completely shut those people up!
"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 manner, everyone will shut up!
How can such a beautiful young lady be called a "unmarriageable loser"?
When Mother Gu returned home, she started talking to Father Gu.
Father Gu: ...
He is a very honest man and has no say at home.
As for Gu's mother, she seemed to be discussing 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. I can no longer ask Xiaoqin to come back for the New Year."
"But, apart from 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 plowing has not yet begun, so the villagers of Liujiamiao are still relatively free.
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, her short hair was fixed with a headband, and 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.
Spend a few cents to make a phone call?
Tsk tsk, wouldn’t you be so heartbroken that you can’t sleep for days and nights?
"I know!"
Mother Gu took out a handkerchief with a gray background and blue plaid from her trouser pocket, shook it open, and revealed a stack of banknotes.
Well, she is a rich old lady from the countryside!
The staff member took a quick look and stopped trying to persuade him. He looked at the phone number on 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 fell into a ditch when he was going out and broke his leg. I don't understand anything. Your second brother went to school, and there are 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 for a while?"
"...Mom, Qingcheng went to the grassland again. There's a military factory there. We asked him to provide technical support!"
“…”
"Mom, let's do this. I have time, so I'll go back."
"Will it delay your work? When will you be back? I'll have someone pick you up at the county station!"
Mrs. 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.
"No need to delay! I'll find someone to book the tickets right away. Mom, no need to pick me up at the station, I can do it myself!"
Zhou Ziqin said this, and then 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.
