"Jianguo's wife, take the children out!"
A few neighbors were eavesdropping, but were caught red-handed by the person involved, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
One of the women, who was in her fifties or sixties, gave a wry laugh and greeted Gu Qingcheng awkwardly.
Gu Qingcheng took a quick look and saw that it was Widow Liu in the backyard.
Speaking of which, the original owner and Widow Liu were somewhat related.
Widow Liu's live-in son-in-law, Gu Changhe, is from the same village as the original owner and a distant relative.
The original owner was able to marry into the city thanks to Gu Changhe's matchmaking.
During the three or four years that the original owner had been in the city, he had become quite close to Gu Changhe's family.
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng imitated the original owner's behavior and responded crisply.
"Is your mother-in-law forcing you again?"
"Your father-in-law insists on adopting his nephew?"
When Widow Liu saw that Gu Qingcheng was willing to pay attention to her, the embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping instantly disappeared.
She leaned closer to Gu Qingcheng, lowered her voice, and asked a series of gossipy questions, "Are you going back to your hometown with your child?"
This is so stupid!
Gu Xiaoni is Qiao Jianguo's wife, and she is pregnant with Qiao Jianguo's posthumous child.
Qiao Jianguo’s job cannot be taken away by an adopted nephew.
Gu Xiaoni usually seems smart, but why does she start to act stupidly at critical moments?
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to waste words with these gossipy women. She hummed and hawed in response and said, "Aunt Liu, I'll take the child out for a walk."
Without waiting for Widow Liu and the other neighbors to say anything, she directly pulled her adopted daughter Qiao Qiao out of the yard.
"Hey! Jianguo's wife, don't leave!"
"What's wrong with Xiao Gu? Is she angry with her in-laws, or is she really being stupid?"
"...Hey, was my eyes dazzled? Why did Qiao Qiao's mother look even prettier?"
"If you want to look pretty, wear mourning clothes! The daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, with a white flower in her hair, looks a little less charming than before."
"Yeah, she used to be so perky here, so curvy there, and her eyes were hooked. Even Xiao Lu in the backyard was completely dazzled by them."
An old lady, also in her fifties, gestured in front, then deliberately straightened her back and twisted it into an S shape.
But she was skinny, short, and had bound feet.
There's really no sexy beauty about it.
Instead, it's a bit ridiculous.
"Oh, Xiao Lu is still thinking about Xiao Gu."
"It's been three or four years."
"That's right! I said Xiao Lu's grandfather passed away, and his sister started elementary school. The burden on the family is not so heavy anymore, so it's time for him to find a wife. But he's still putting it off. So this is the reason!"
"Really? Xiao Lu looks quite honest, but he has such a cunning mind!"
"What a scheming thing! Jianguo is gone, and his wife is a widow. And Xiao Lu is a bachelor, so they are a perfect match!"

"...Oh, they still want another batch like this. Doesn't that just suit the old couple of the Qiao family's wishes?"
Several middle-aged and elderly women gathered together, pointing and talking.
Ma, who was hiding in the house, heard the chattering sounds outside and suddenly thought of something. Her chubby white face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Could it be that this little bitch Gu Xiaoni is really hooking up with Lu Xinhua in the backyard?"
"No wonder she's not afraid. It seems she's already found a new employer."
"No! Did she hook up with Lu Xinhua after Jianguo's death, or had they been having an affair for a long time?"
If it is the latter, then wouldn’t his own son be cuckolded?
Ma only had one son in her life, Qiao Jianguo, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was her lifeblood.
Her only son passed away at such a young age, and it felt as if a large piece of Ma's heart had been dug out.
Now, suddenly realizing that her son was being bullied, Ma's anger rose rapidly.
Peng!
Ma suddenly opened the door.
Several women who were chatting in the yard saw this. One said, "Oh, I should go cook," and another said, "I still have clothes soaking in the basin," and they all scattered.
Ma didn't bother to flirt with the neighbors. She tiptoed on her medium-sized feet and quickly chased after Gu Qingcheng.
Ma had bound feet when she was a child, but she unbound them later.
So, her feet are not three-inch golden lotus, but they are two or three sizes smaller than normal feet.
When walking, Ma's speed is between that of a person with bound feet and a normal foot.
Gu Qingcheng, with her bulging belly and holding Qiao Qiao's hand, had just walked out of the courtyard when she was stopped by a young man.
"Gu, Gu Xiaoni, were you scolded by your mother-in-law again?"
The young man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and a head taller than the original owner.
The original owner was considered tall among the women of today, about 165cm.
This person is taller than the original owner, at least 180cm.
He has a healthy wheat-colored skin, a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, and his appearance is quite consistent with the aesthetic of this era.
"Brother Lu, I just got off work!"
Gu Qingcheng did not respond to the young man, Lu Xinhua, the original owner's former blind date, rumored backup, and neighbor.
Whether she was scolded by her mother-in-law or felt wronged had nothing to do with Lu Xinhua.
She is not the original owner, and she will not pretend to be wronged in front of other men in order to gain any "pity".
Gu Qingcheng greeted Lu Xinhua with a smile, just like an ordinary neighbor.
