Chapter 224 Liang Qiaoli Makes Friends
Gu Zhengyuan did not attend Shen Siyuan's engagement party in the end.
It was not because Shen Siyuan's change of surname made him angry and he did not want to attend. Rather
, the guests who came to the engagement party had to have an invitation to enter the hotel.
The Gu family's invitation only invited Mr. Gu, and Gu Zhengyuan was blocked outside the door by four strong men in black.
Gu Zhengyuan's plan to expand his network was also ruined.
Gu Zhengyuan returned home and fell asleep all day in anger.
An Li and Gu Chengze did not dare to say a word, for fear of being implicated.
...
After the engagement, the two had a status, and Shen Qingyang proposed to take Song Baoer over.
Mrs. Song said that they were just engaged, and it would be inappropriate to go now.
After the two families discussed, Shen Qingyang sent Sister Lan to teach Song Baoer how to adapt to life in Hong Kong.
Sister Lan lived in Lu's house, and Song Baoer came to learn from Sister Lan every day.
Liang Qiaoli and Lu Yongfu were a little uncomfortable with the sudden arrival of a very disciplined and serious person in the family.
Lu Yongfu went to Lu Mingqi's store to help during the day, and Liang Qiaoli was at home all day. Even if it was her own son's home, she seemed restrained.
There was no way, after finishing her work, Liang Qiaoli went out for a stroll.
...
When she came back in the evening, she saw Sister Lan watching the children doing their homework. Shen Jiale asked about the children, and Lu Chang laughed and said that grandma went to play next door.
Since Liang Qiaoli came to Beijing, she has been taking care of the children and cooking every day.
As a city dweller, almost everyone has to go to work. She is unfamiliar with the place and is worried that she is from the countryside and that she might say or do something that would make people think she is ignorant. She rarely goes out.
It is rare to have a friend to talk to. Shen Jiale is also happy for her mother-in-law, so she goes to the kitchen to cook. Sister Lan also comes to help.
When the meal is ready, Lu Yongfu has returned, but Liang Qiaoli has not returned home yet.
Lu Yongfu went outside and shouted.
Sure enough, Liang Qiaoli came back after a while.
Seeing that the meal was ready, she said embarrassedly: "Why didn't you call me when you came back? I was next door and I could hear you if I shouted."
Shen Jiale said: "It's rare that you met someone you can talk to. It's okay to chat for a while. In the future, you can go out often and make some friends. You don't have to stay at home all day."
Liang Qiaoli nodded: "I didn't go out before because I was worried that people in Beijing would look down on me, an old woman from the country."
Sister Lan said: "You have so many advantages.
"Shen Jiale asked what kind of person the neighbor next door was. When Liang Qiaoli was asked about this, she started to talk
nonstop. According to Liang Qiaoli, the old lady's surname was Hou. She had two sons and originally lived with her youngest son. The eldest son and his wife got divorced, and the eldest daughter-
in-law left the children
and went back to her parents' home. She had no choice but to come and take care of her grandson. Shen Jiale had met the Hou family before. They were in their thirties and had two daughters. Every time Shen Jiale saw them, the family of four looked very happy and didn't seem to have a bad relationship. Shen Jiale asked Liang Qiaoli. Liang Qiaoli said: "Mrs. Hou said that her eldest daughter-in-law was greedy and wanted the yard we live in now. She didn't want to give it to her, so she threatened to divorce." Shen Jiale said: "Aren't they living in the house next door?" "Her son's unit allocated a house and wanted to sell this yard. Mrs. Hou said that this was their ancestral home and the youngest son didn't agree to sell it." Lu Mingfeng said: "Mom, don't say too much about other people's family affairs." "I don't want to meddle in other people's business. She just came here and didn't know anyone. She got along with me, so she chatted for a while. When she said that, I just listened to her." ... Shen Jiale was happy that her mother-in-law had new friends, and encouraged her to go out and make more friends. Not to mention, after she let go of her worries, Liang Qiaoli quickly became familiar with the neighbors around her. When everyone heard that Liang Qiaoli's son and daughter-in-law were both promising people, they all gave Liang Qiaoli a thumbs up. Liang Qiaoli felt very proud. But at this time, Mrs. Hou, who got along well with Liang Qiaoli, expressed a different opinion. "Your daughter-in-law has given birth to four children. Why should she go to school if she doesn't stay at home to take care of them?" Liang Qiaoli said, "Going to college is a great honor for the family. Of course she should go. I'll take care of the children." "We used to say 'a woman without talent is virtuous'. If she reads too much, she will be cunning and plot against your son." "They have a good relationship. All the money my son earns is hers. What is there to plot against?" "Look, what did I say? Your family has been plotted against, and you haven't noticed it yet. Go back and persuade your son that your family's money can't be left in the hands of your daughter-in-law." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never quarreled before. Suddenly, when she heard someone trying to sow discord between them, Liang Qiaoli suddenly lost her good impression of Mrs. Hou. She made an excuse to go back to cook and stopped talking. After that, Liang Qiaoli never took the initiative to look for Old Lady Hou again. ... On weekends, Shen Jiale took the children back to her parents' home. When leaving, he picked some vegetables from the yard and took two boxes of spring water he prepared. One box was to be sent to his second uncle. When he was putting things in the car, he saw Old Lady Hou. Because of Liang Qiaoli, Shen Jiale nodded and greeted Old Lady Hou when he saw her. After the car drove away, Old Lady Hou hurried into the Lu family's yard.
"Qiaoli, your daughter-in-law is too greedy. She loaded so many things into the car for free and sent them all to her parents' home."
Ever since Mrs. Hou said that Shen Jiale was not good, Liang Qiaoli didn't want to play with her.
Seeing that she was still talking nonsense in broad daylight, she said, "My daughter-in-law took things back to her parents' home in front of me, and I picked the vegetables myself. Why did they taste different when they entered your mouth?"
"You picked the vegetables, what's in the box, did you see it?"
Liang Qiaoli said unhappily, "I saw it, the box is full of magic pills, you are satisfied!"
Anyone can see that Liang Qiaoli is angry.
Mrs. Hou was bored and muttered, "I just reminded you kindly, but you didn't listen. Sooner or later, all your belongings will be emptied."
