Feudal, stubborn, selfish, bad-tempered and chauvinistic.
Moreover, this person has another very powerful quality: he looks carefree, like a hands-off boss who doesn't care about anything.
But when it comes to mental calculations, that shrewish woman named Ma is no match for Old Man Qiao.
This person is a lotus root, full of tricks.
Old man Qiao is usually like an old man and never cares much about Gu Xiaoni, his daughter-in-law from the countryside.
If he is not served well, he will lose his temper.
If Gu Xiaoni was not respectful enough to her mother-in-law, she would just slam the table.
Qiao Jianguo felt sorry for his wife, so he stood in front of Gu Xiaoni. As a result, old man Qiao slapped him directly!
By the way, if a father does not even care about his only child, he must be selfish and cruel to a certain extent.
He was a man who always had a rude attitude and was a typical feudal patriarch. But when he saw his daughter-in-law scolding her husband, he did not get angry at all. Instead, he tried to comfort her in a gentle tone.
If someone said there was no trick involved, Gu Qingcheng would not believe it at all.
With her cheeks puffed up and her chest heaving up, Gu Qingcheng deliberately acted like she was extremely angry, but had to keep quiet out of filial piety.
When Old Man Qiao saw this, he felt secretly proud: I told you, Gu is easy to control.
If you say a few soft words to her, she will stop making a fuss.
My old wife is just too stupid!
However, the reason why Old Man Qiao married her was precisely because Ma was stupid enough.
Otherwise, how could Old Man Qiao, a poor boy from the countryside, deceive Ma, a girl from the city, with just a few words?
The Ma family also helped him find an apprenticeship job in a factory run by foreigners.
In this way, Old Man Qiao, a man who was not valued by his parents, was able to settle down and build a career in the city.
Old Man Qiao was once again convinced that his daughter-in-law was easy to deal with, and he became more determined in his plan.
Old man Qiao rolled his slightly cloudy eyes and decided to take advantage of this "turmoil".
"Qiao'er's mother, you can't blame your mother-in-law for being angry about this."
"It's really like being in a melon field and plum garden, it's easy to cause gossip."
"Don't be so quick to cry. Listen to me. Your mother and I both know that you are a good person and you are sincere to Jianguo."
"But who made you date Hua Zi from the Lu family? And Hua Zi hasn't gotten married in the past few years."
"It's good that Jianguo is alive. Now that he's gone, won't outsiders start gossiping about him?"
"Your mother heard the rumors outside and saw Huazi talking to you. She was so angry that she lost her mind and said things she shouldn't have said."
"Your mother didn't mean it, but the neighbors...ah, these rumors are just groundless, and once there is one, there will be another. Unless you remarry——"
Old man Qiao's words, one after another, seemed to be getting straight to the point.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingcheng suddenly said, "I won't remarry!"
Old Man Qiao was still immersed in his own thoughts. When he suddenly heard Gu Qingcheng's words, he didn't react for a while.
"What? What did you say?" Old man Qiao asked blankly.
"I said, I won't remarry!"
Gu Qingcheng raised her head, her beautiful face full of determination.
"You want to stay here for Jianguo?"
Old Man Qiao came to his senses when he heard the words "not remarry" from Gu Qingcheng's mouth again.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
As a father, he was of course heartbroken when his only son died.
If possible, he also hopes that his daughter-in-law can remain faithful to her son.
However, Gu Xiaoni's widowhood went against his plan.
Old man Qiao is the most selfish person and is used to being the only one in charge. How could he allow anyone to "disobey" him?
"right!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded vigorously.
Qiao Jianguo was just a stranger to her.
There is no such thing as love, and I will not remain faithful to someone I don't know.
However, Gu Qingcheng never thought about remarrying.
For her, getting married is not really a necessary choice.
In the world of ancient novels, Gu Qingcheng was forced to marry or rely on men due to the pressure of rules, etiquette and tasks.
In this world, women don't have to marry.
Her task was to have a man who was not her husband serve her and help raise her children.
So, there is really no need to remarry.
"I won't remarry! I'll just live on my own with the children!"
Gu Qingcheng said this while looking at Old Man Qiao's expression.
Seeing the old man's gloomy face, he knew that his words must have disrupted one of his plans.
Whatever Old Man Joe had planned, it was probably only to his own benefit.
Outsiders like the daughter-in-law will only be exploited!
Even sacrificed!
"Great! Old man, did you hear that?"
"Jianguo's wife is willing to stay with Jianguo, as long as she stays in the Qiao family for the rest of her life, then--" Giving her the job is just right!
Ma was originally shocked by Gu Qingcheng's accusations.
Before she could react, her husband rushed over.
Mrs. Ma, who always put her husband first, subconsciously stepped back and let old man Qiao make the decision.
However, when Ma heard Gu Qingcheng firmly say that she "would not remarry" and wanted to remain a widow for Qiao Jianguo, her face immediately lit up with joy.
She excitedly shouted to Old Man Qiao, "Old man, Jianguo's wife is willing to remain a widow!"
"I heard you! Stop yelling!"
Old Man Qiao was already a little annoyed by Gu Qingcheng's non-cooperation.
Seeing his old wife doing something stupid again, he became even more annoyed, and his old face became very ugly.
