"Xiaoqin, this is Qingcheng's grandpa and grandma!"
Although they were very unhappy, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu had already shamelessly walked in, 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 cut off contact.
But, ever since Gu Qingcheng went to college, Grandpa Gu came to visit him again.
They are our elders and their blood ties can never be severed.
Since Grandpa Gu took the initiative to show goodwill, even a fierce mother like Gu couldn't continue to hate him.
If she did that, she would not be a shrew, but a vicious 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 found 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 is a well-known shrew, and this is how my life will be.
My son can’t do it!
He was the first college student in the county and the pride of the entire Gu family.
He will 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, although Mother Gu was extremely disgusted, she had to smile and pretend that everything was fine.
As for Zhou Ziqin, like Gu's mother, everything she does is 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-in-law, a good mother-in-law. Zhou Ziqin could not regard this biased old couple as relatives.
But, it’s not to the extent 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 wonderful wife!"
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu couldn't stop smiling when they saw their young, beautiful and elegant granddaughter-in-law.
They completely forgot the grudges they had with the second brother's family, as if they were really kind elders.
Mother Gu:... Humph, if you really want a Qingcheng wife, why don’t you express it?
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 wasn't going to kowtow according to the rural custom.
She was just greeting 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 other people in my 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 a man of lower status, she cannot be compatible with him.
She only respects those who are worthy and will not compromise herself for a false reputation.
"Xiaoqin, this is Third Uncle and Third Aunt!"
"...I wouldn't dare! City people are just different from us country folk. Is this how you recognize your relatives?"
Zhou Ziqin was just thinking about it when 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 Mrs. 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 stirring up trouble behind her back.
Over the past twenty years, even when 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 in a hurry. She always put on a kind and honest face, hiding in the corner to fan the flames and take the opportunity to give people acupuncture.
"Mom, I heard that when a new bride recognizes her relatives, she must 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 send 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..."
Zhou Ziqin counted the "greeting gifts" her relatives gave to Gu Qingcheng one by one by waving her fingers.
Then, she looked at Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, Third Uncle Gu and others with hope in her eyes.
Her expression was too 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 the rest 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.
