Chapter 141 The Chen Family Comes to Announce the Good News
The old man said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, since my in-laws are here, go open the door and let them in."
“…I understand, Dad.”
There was a hint of resistance in Chen Hong's eyes, but her feet were already heading towards the door.
The person shouting loudly outside the door was her mother, Chen Qian.
Before she married into the Gu family, she was Chen Hong's nightmare.
As a woman, she was like an ox at home, working non-stop, not only serving her parents, but also her two brothers.
If they were not satisfied with her service, they would beat and scold her without any mercy.
Even so, she resented her parents for selling her to the Gu family, but she could not deny that in all these years in the Gu family, she had never suffered any hardship, and no one had abused or insulted her.
The days spent in the Gu family and the Chen family are completely different.
She didn't know whether she should thank her parents for selling her to the Gu family, or resent them for treating her like a commodity.
Over the years, Chen Hong rarely returned to Chenjia Village when her family members came to ask for money or request something, and she left many things to her husband.
Now that her parents have come to her house in person, Chen Hong always feels that something is not right.
Based on her understanding of her family, they would never come in person unless there was something they valued.
Chen Hong walked to the front door and opened it slowly.
Standing outside were a little old lady and a skinny old man, both of them had calculating eyes flashing in their eyes.
Chen Hong lowered her head and called out, "Dad, Mom."
Her voice was cold and indifferent, without any hint of intimacy.
"Why are you so slow? My hands are sore from knocking on the door. Do you think you did it on purpose?"
The old lady glanced at Chen Hong with disdain, then walked past her and walked into the Gu family.
The sarcasm on her face was very obvious, and she had an arrogant attitude. Her eyes were full of criticism as she looked around the Gu family's courtyard.
When the old lady saw Mr. Gu, Gu Dechang, and the siblings Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin standing in the yard, her expression changed and quickly filled with a smile.
The speed at which his face changes is so fast that it makes people gasp.
"My in-laws are so happy!" The old lady knew that the Gu family was headed by the old man, so she went straight to the other party.
Knowing that the Chen family would not visit without a reason, Mr. Gu, who was always serious, asked, "The in-laws are here. I wonder where the good news you mentioned comes from?"
The old lady stood in front of Mr. Gu, her face full of flattering smiles, her wrinkles all piled up together: "It's a happy event. The reason why my old man came here today is that a great happy event has befallen the Gu family."
When Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin saw their grandma and grandpa, they both looked grumpy.
They have been ostracized by the Chen family since they were young. They were always bullied when they went to the Chen family as children. Their grandparents always scolded them, and the children of their eldest uncle and second uncle also bullied them.
Over the years, they rarely went to the Chen family, but they still had to go during the holidays. Grandpa said that this was basic etiquette.
Seeing them showing such fawning smiles to grandpa, and the ill intentions in their words, the brother and sister frowned tightly and stared at them with caution.
Old Master Gu listened to what Chen Qian said, but he still didn't understand where this joy came from.
He threw the towel into the enamel basin at his feet: "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk inside."
Chen Qian rolled her eyes and stared at the kitchen. "That's not necessary. The old man and I hadn't eaten yet when we got here. Let's sit down and talk while we eat."
