He Meizhu felt a little embarrassed that her son had seen through her thoughts so quickly.
But now, apart from the youngest son, no one else in the family can come up with any good ideas. Even the three of them combined, like Gu Jianhua, Gu Changshan, and Gu Changhe, aren't as quick-witted as Gu Changzheng.
He Meizhu didn't want to bother with them; for things that required thinking, she still had to ask Lao Si.
"The Long March, your second brother, he..."
"Mom, are you talking about my second brother and that Miao Yuan, or about my second brother's two children?"
He Meizhu blinked: "You knew everything?"
"Isn't this an open secret?"
Gu Changzheng countered with a question.
His words surprised He Meizhu.
this……
Is this already an open secret?
"The Long March, this..."
"Mom, you're getting old, and your sons are all married. Why don't you just relax and enjoy your retirement? Why worry about so many things?"
"No, this... your second brother... didn't he just get divorced?"
If Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan's mother were still around, she wouldn't be so worried. But since they weren't, she had to be more concerned.
Gu Changzheng was convinced by He Meizhu's idea.
"Mom, my second brother got divorced, didn't he find someone else right away? You don't need to worry about him at all."
"That child..."
“Those two brats are my second brother’s children. If he wants to take them, he can just report it to the police in the city. There’s no need for you to worry about them.”
Gu Changzheng was very annoyed by Gu Changqing's scheming nature, which meant he would scheme against anyone, even his own parents!
The reason he hadn't gone to the Xu family to pick up the two children was probably because he was waiting for this moment. By acting weak and incompetent, he could make Gu Jianhua, the brigade leader, and He Meizhu worry about him.
They can handle many things much more easily than he can.
On the contrary, he also felt that his mother, He Meizhu, still had money, and since she doted on her grandson, she would definitely give money to the Xu family...
This was Gu Changqing's plan.
Gu Changzheng guessed it pretty accurately!
This is also why he dislikes his second brother even more.
"Mom, don't be foolish enough to be taken advantage of and still be counting money for others."
"No, Fourth Brother, what do you mean by that..." He Meizhu looked up and saw Gu Changzheng's serious face. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to deny it.
Her second son was indeed plotting against her.
She can figure this out with just a little thought.
"But...but what can we do? We can't, we can't just abandon our two children, can we?"
It can only be said that she is a woman, and because she is a grandmother, she has a particularly soft heart.
"Mom, you're being silly. What are those two brats, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan, like normally? Do you think the Xu family will tolerate them staying there indefinitely? Just wait and see, in less than three days, they'll be yelling and begging to send people away."
"What? How is that possible? How can you be so sure?"
He Meizhu was very puzzled.
Gu Changzheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Xu Honglian is married off, who cares about them? The Xu family wasn't well-off to begin with, how much food could they possibly have for those two brats?"
"What? Xu Honglian got married? And she found a blind date so quickly?"
He Meizhu was very surprised.
"Didn't my second brother find a partner quickly and get married? He shouldn't have the right to judge others, right?"
All I can say is that Gu Changqing and Xu Honglian are truly birds of a feather; their faces are so similarly scumbags!
He Meizhu was comforted by Gu Changzheng's words. She sat to the side with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"mom."
Gu Changzheng called out to He Meizhu: "You are you first and foremost. You should live primarily for yourself, instead of worrying about all sorts of trivial matters."
"You paid for your second brother's child this time, so I won't say anything more about this. But have you thought about how your eldest brother and third brother feel?"
“What if their family members follow suit? How much money do you have to redeem your grandchildren? Mom, we can’t let this happen.”
Gu Changzheng's words shattered He Meizhu's newly constructed plan!
She was shocked after hearing this.
"this……"
"Okay, Mom, think it over carefully. I'm going back to make fish soup for my wife. The doctor said the baby will develop very quickly in three months, so we need to give him more nutrition, otherwise he won't be able to keep up. He'll be skinny and small like a monkey."
Skinny like a monkey—that's something Gu Changzheng added.
The doctor didn't say that.
But he, Gu Changzheng, certainly didn't want to have a baby!
Mentioning Lu Huaijiao, He Meizhu suddenly remembered that her youngest daughter-in-law was pregnant with three children: "Yes, yes, I've been so preoccupied with these past few days that I forgot about it. How is Jiaojiao? What did the doctor say?"
"The child is very healthy, just give him/her more nutrition."
Gu Changzheng worried when he thought of his wife's small arms and legs, and her slightly protruding belly. Even now, her small arms and legs seemed tired supporting her belly; what would happen when it got bigger?
Pregnant with three children at once was both a sweet and troublesome experience for Gu Changzheng.
He Meizhu nodded as she listened.
"Wait for me a moment."
She turned and walked into the house. Under the cabinet, she found the eggs she had traded with someone, plus the eggs she had saved, totaling more than twenty.
