The couple got off the bus, went to the hospital for a check-up, and then went to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and resting for a while, they continued to the county department store to purchase some daily necessities before returning home.
Lu Huaijiao's belly is now very big, and even if she doesn't walk, Gu Changzheng is a little scared just sitting there.
When she stood up and started walking, Gu Changzheng was even more terrified.
In addition, being pregnant makes her prone to fatigue, so Lu Huaijiao didn't feel like shopping much.
I bought the necessities and went home. Given the weather and my physical condition, it's better to stay home and rest.
However, as soon as the couple returned home, they heard a strange voice coming from the neighboring yard. Well, it wasn't really that unfamiliar, because Lu Huaijiao and her husband were "lucky" enough to have heard her call out twice before.
Therefore, she was able to identify the other party as Miao Yuan immediately.
She came to Gu Changqing's house?
Are they married? Are they going to live together?
Just as she was thinking this, someone knocked on their courtyard gate.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at Gu Changzheng, who patted her hair and helped her to the room to sit on the sofa. He then kissed her on the lips.
"I'm going out to take a look."
"Um."
Gu Changzheng stepped out of the room, crossed the courtyard, opened the gate, and saw Gu Changqing smiling outside.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
After the autumn harvest, Gu Changqing's skin had become extremely dark. When he saw people, he smiled, and all that could be seen were his not-so-white teeth.
"Fourth brother, you're home!"
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement.
"Second brother, is something the matter?"
The attitude wasn't particularly good, nor was it particularly bad.
It wasn't as good as when I was with Gu Tiezhu and the others.
However, Gu Changqing didn't care.
Perhaps he cared, but didn't show it? In any case, the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Well... it's like this... Miao Zhiqing and I... have already registered our marriage, and we're having our wedding banquet tomorrow... tomorrow. You and your sister-in-law can come and have dinner then."
For Gu Changqing, this was his second marriage.
He originally didn't want to have a big celebration, but Miao Yuan was getting married for the first time, and it would be unfair to her if he didn't show any appreciation.
Moreover, it is said that when Xu Honglian remarried, it was a grand affair, with the Xu family hosting five tables of guests.
Gu Changqing didn't want to be at a disadvantage either.
This led to their decision to hold a banquet as well.
Gu Changzheng nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there on time."
"Okay."
Gu Changqing agreed, and Gu Changzheng was about to close the door when Gu Changqing quickly reached out to stop him.
"Fourth brother..."
"What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Gu Changzheng looked at Gu Changqing with some suspicion. Although he guessed what Gu Changqing wanted to say, he had no obligation to reveal it before the other party said it.
And to be honest, even if Gu Changqing had said it, he didn't think he would have done it.
"It's like this, that mother... might have some misunderstanding about your second sister-in-law... look at you..."
Gu Changqing found it difficult to speak.
His mother had some misunderstandings about his new wife, and he couldn't persuade her, so he thought he should ask his fourth brother to talk to her.
Gu Changzheng pretended not to understand.
"Second brother, what do you mean by that?"
"I...I just wanted to say..." Gu Changqing stammered for a while before finally speaking, "Could you please go and persuade Mother for me, Fourth Brother?"
Gu Changzheng thought to himself, "My second brother is really ridiculous. He and Miao Yuan have been messing around outside, and now the elders know about it, and he wants me to plead for them?"
Which mother-in-law would like her daughter-in-law to have interfered in her son's marriage and had an affair with him before she was even married?
Even if he did go, his mother wouldn't be able to change her impression of Miao Yuan, let alone persuade He Meizhu.
"Second brother, I don't quite understand what you mean. How do you expect me to persuade Mom? Now that everyone has separated from the family, Mom and Dad shouldn't care who you marry."
Gu Changzheng: ...
That makes sense, but there's still a big difference between a marriage approved by parents and one that they don't.
Both he and Miao Yuan wanted to be recognized by He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua!
But right now, since Gu Changzheng isn't speaking up for them, there's nothing he can do.
Not wanting to explain outright why He Meizhu looked down on Miao Yuan, she could only give an awkward smile and turn to leave.
After Gu Changqing left, Gu Changzheng closed the door and went back to his room.
Lu Huaijiao kept her ears perked up, listening to what Gu Changzheng and the others were saying, but because of the distance, she couldn't hear very clearly.
When Gu Changzheng returned, she couldn't wait to ask him.
Seeing her expression of watching the drama unfold, Gu Changzheng chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose.
"Mom doesn't like our new sister-in-law, but my second brother wants his marriage to be blessed by his parents."
"So that's why I came to you to act as a mediator?"
Lu Huaijiao asked.
Gu Changzheng nodded.
"My daughter is so smart."
Lu Huaijiao pouted.
It's so obvious, you could guess it right away, right?
"So what did you say? Did you reject him? Was he very angry? Did he feel that you didn't treat him like your second brother?"
"Hmm? He didn't show it, so I don't know if he was angry or not."
