Chapter 1706: Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce 2
After the guard returned to the room to report, the atmosphere at the dinner table returned to its previous state.
"Who are they? They're making so much noise." Wang Cuilan hadn't seen Gu Qing for more than 20 years. Plus, he looked neither like his father nor like Doctor Guo, so Wang Cuilan didn't recognize him at first.
Feng Qingxue winked at her several times, but she didn't see it, so she asked anyway.
Doctor Guo sighed and didn't care about Wang Cuilan's question. "Who could it be? It's my disappointing son Gu Qing and his wife Shen Xiufen. They are devoted to their mother's family and have treated my granddaughter badly. The house they live in now is also named Shen. I guess all the money they have has been taken away by the Shen family. That's why they came here today. After all, they don't come here for no reason. I don't bother to care about them. Instead of being angry, I'd rather raise my two granddaughters and teach them the principles of life."
Wang Cuilan comforted him, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just take care of yourself and let them do it on their own."
There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There are many female comrades like Shen Xiufen who only care about their own family, not their husband's family, and don't care about their own children. It is not surprising at all.
Commander Gu poured a glass of wine for Cheng Baoguo. "I have advised my cousin that he is not a bad person and has the ability to manage the army. He is meticulous in his official duties and never makes mistakes. However, he is easily influenced and his life is a mess. He chased Shen Xiufen and obeyed her in everything. He couldn't bear to hear me say anything bad about her. It's a pity that if Shen Xiufen hadn't implicated him, he would at least be a deputy division commander now."
Mrs. Gu never commented on Gu Qing and Shen Xiufen in front of Doctor Guo. But it was different for Teacher Gu. He was a member of the Gu family and Gu Qing's cousin. An elder brother is like a father, so naturally he could point out what Gu Qing was wrong.
Doctor Guo poked at the rice in his bowl. "He deserves it! Gu Tian, don't worry about him. He can do whatever he wants. Since he asked for it, he must be willing to do it and doesn't care about whether he gets promoted or not. Anyway, with me here, Meimei and Minmin don't have to worry about their lives. If something happens to me and they are still young, you uncles and aunts can take care of them. I have nothing else to ask for in this life."
"Grandma, please don't curse yourself like that. We must be fine. When I grow up, I will be filial to you and my uncle and aunt. You must stay safe and healthy until the day when I can be filial to you." Gu Mei's voice rang out.
Gu Min was a little introverted, but that didn't stop her from following her sister's steps. "Grandma must be fine."
Half a year of living without worries about food and clothing and without being beaten or scolded made her respect her grandmother immensely.
Mrs. Gu also said, "Aunt, please don't say that. You are home now. Our family is well off and there is no famine like we did a dozen years ago. You should just enjoy your old age."
"Yes, auntie, don't worry about anything. If my cousin and his wife make trouble again, just beat them away. My cousin is a gourd with a sawed mouth, he dare not lay a hand on you. Don't worry, if Shen Xiufen persists, you can say that the army is about to drive irrelevant people out of the family compound. I can make the decision." Commander Gu was almost annoyed with Shen Xiufen.
He used to dislike Shen Xiufen, but Doctor Guo was out, so he just had to support his two nieces privately, and Commander Gu didn't bother to pay attention to her. Now that she was disrespectful to Doctor Guo, Commander Gu wanted to shoot her, so he naturally didn't show any courtesy.
Doctor Guo picked up two pieces of food for each of his nephew and niece-in-law with chopsticks, "Okay, okay, let's eat, eat."
