"That's right! My son is very promising and he married a beautiful and wealthy wife!"
"Right! Who said that Qingcheng's wife was just trying to get married because she couldn't find a husband?"
"Nonsense! It's all nonsense! It's obvious that Qingcheng himself is very good, so Qingcheng's wife likes him and then marries him with a generous dowry."
"...Qingcheng's wife is really pretty, with fair skin, just like tender tofu."
"She is quiet and gentle, with a soft voice. You can tell at first glance that she is a good child from a wealthy family."
"Also, did you just hear it? The Qingcheng daughter-in-law calls Gu Laoshi's wife 'mother'. They are just following the local customs."
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I really hadn't noticed! This is really not easy. Qingcheng's wife is from the capital."
"Haha, that temporary worker from the slaughterhouse next door, he's only been in the city for a few years, and he already thinks his hometown dialect is so unsophisticated? He doesn't even call them mom and dad anymore, he insists on calling them dad and mom!"
"Oh my, every time I hear her calling out for someone in a weird way, I feel so embarrassed for her! Qingcheng's daughter-in-law is still the best, not pretentious at all."
"Come on, last time you were even imitating that temporary worker's emphasis, saying that everyone in the city spoke that way, it was so fashionable!"
"...You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that!"
As everyone was talking, they started arguing.
As the argument went on, they unknowingly brought the topic back to the topic.
"Alas, Gu Laoshi and his wife really made it!"
"Yeah, my son is an expert. He can get a car with just one phone call. I've never ridden in a car in my life."
"...Tsk! What's good about that?! He's taking advantage of the public!"
Suddenly, discordant voices began to emerge from the crowd.
With the first one, there will be the second and the third.
Mother Gu was a little flustered. She grabbed Zhou Ziqin's arm and said, "Xiaoqin, you won't cause trouble for Qingcheng, right?"
Zhou Ziqin chuckled and shook her head, "No! Mom, don't worry."
As soon as Zhou Ziqin finished speaking, the driver opened the car door and jumped out.
"Who said that Expert Gu took advantage of the public?"
The driver said righteously, "Comrade Zhou has already paid for the gas."
"Besides, this isn't taking advantage!"
"Expert Gu helped our diesel engine factory produce China's first independently developed diesel engine!"
"When we presented the gift to the National Day last year, the leader personally praised us!"
"Expert Gu is also currently supporting a project on the grasslands. He's so busy with his work that he doesn't even care about his family."
"Our leader heard about Expert Gu's difficulties and offered to lend him a car!"
"Just lend me the car. Expert Gu has been a great help to our factory, but both Gu and Comrade Zhou are principled people and would never take advantage of the public. I'll offer to pay for the gas!"
He puts the interests of the whole community above his own, what a noble person!
How could anyone still gossip?
Besides, they have already paid the money, so how can you be taking advantage of them?
The driver was quite indignant. Apart from the pack of cigarettes Zhou Ziqin stuffed into his hand, he also really felt that Gu Qingcheng, as an expert, was worthy of respect.
"Huh? Pay for the gas?"
"Oh, if that's the case, the Qingcheng couple are indeed authentic!"
"That's right! I didn't make any mistakes!"
"...Qingcheng has really become an expert? And he's even going to the grasslands to do projects?"
Everyone started discussing again.
Those who were hiding in the crowd and shouting "taking advantage of the public" also shut up.
In fact, although everyone is upright and principled these days, they are not really heartless.
Law is nothing more than human nature.
Taking advantage of public resources occasionally is an unspoken rule that everyone understands.
Of course, more people still stick to principles and will never take a single needle or thread.
Gu Qingcheng and Zhou Ziqin's behavior was very consistent with the overall environment and was praised by everyone.
"Oh, Qingcheng has become an expert. This is not only an honor for the Gu family, but also for our Liu Family Temple!"
The village chief reacted and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Yes! Qingcheng is a child from Liujia Temple. If he becomes successful, our Liujia Temple will also be glorious."
Some elders of the Gu family nodded in agreement.
"Qingcheng's mother, this must be Qingcheng's wife, she's so pretty!"
The women gathered around Gu's mother and daughter-in-law and talked.
"My daughter-in-law is not only beautiful, but also a top student. You've heard of Kyoto University, right? Like Mizuki, it's one of the best schools."
When Mother Gu heard this topic, she immediately burst into laughter.
Hey, she likes to brag about her son and daughter-in-law.
Although Mother Gu is a shrew, she is not the kind of fool who would belittle her daughter-in-law for the sake of her son!
Isn't that stupid?
Oh, you made your daughter-in-law worthless. She's the kind of slut that no one wants even if you pay her for her, and your son feels proud of it?
If you marry a maid, your son will be destined to be a servant.
But if he marries a princess, his son will become the high and mighty prince consort.
The more capable the daughter-in-law is, wouldn’t the son who can marry her be even more capable?
Just like the educated youth Ning in the village, what people say makes a lot of sense: not everyone can live off others.
First you have to be good-looking, and second you have to have "special skills".
If you can't accomplish anything, it's just a dream to want to live off someone.
Her son married a daughter-in-law with a generous dowry, rich and powerful, which shows that he is very capable!
Anyone who likes his son's daughter-in-law must be a smart person with a clear vision and a clear mind.
Therefore, instead of belittling her daughter-in-law, Mother Gu would praise Zhou Ziqin highly.
