Isn't my own mother's 'love' for me a bit too much?
Gu Changzheng didn't understand.
He Meizhu didn't care what her adopted son was thinking. Right now, the most important thing to her was her possibly pregnant daughter-in-law.
"Jiaojiao, if you feel unwell anywhere, just tell Mom."
"Don't worry, Mom will never let you suffer any injustice."
With her mother-in-law treating her so well, Lu Huaijiao was naturally eager to flatter her.
"Mmm, Mom, you're so good to me. You're the best person in the world to me."
Lu Huaijiao's eyes were brimming with tears; she was incredibly sincere.
He Meizhu was also very gratified, finally having a daughter-in-law who understood her heart.
That's great!
So, what's going on with Gu Changzheng, who was holding Lu Huaijiao, looking like he wanted to throw her to the ground?
What do you mean by saying that his mother is the best person in the world to her?
And what about herself? This living, breathing man is right here, and she can't even see him?
You heartless bastard.
Lu Huaijiao noticed that the arm holding her was loosening a bit, and she immediately frowned and gave him a disgusted look.
Her high, delicate nose also wrinkled.
"Gu Changzheng, hold me tight. I'm going to fall."
"..."
I now know about our ancestors.
Although Dr. Huang could not yet confirm whether Lu Huaijiao was pregnant, Gu Changzheng, Lu Huaijiao, and even He Meizhu all assumed that Lu Huaijiao was indeed pregnant.
Lu Huaijiao, who was already delicate, is now even more pampered and doesn't even need to leave the house; her feet have never touched the ground.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Gu Changzheng's nervous appearance, Xu Honglian, from the second wife's side next door, felt inexplicably jealous again.
"Look at her! Even if she were pregnant, let alone not pregnant, no one would act like this. She's making it seem like nobody can't have a baby!"
Xu Honglian was in the courtyard, staring at the wall of the neighboring courtyard and muttering to herself.
Li Cuiping was washing clothes with her head down when she heard Xu Honglian's words, and her hand paused slightly.
Continue washing clothes with your head down.
Xu Honglian snapped out of her daze and noticed Li Cuiping standing to the side. She exclaimed and apologized, feeling very embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, Third Aunt, I absolutely didn't mean to say you can't have children."
The third brother, Gu Changhe, has been married to his wife, Li Cuiping, for over a year, but Li Cuiping has not yet conceived.
They didn't appear to be in a great hurry on the surface, but only they knew what they were really thinking.
When Xu Honglian brought it up again, she pretended to be very ashamed and apologized, which left a somewhat unpleasant feeling in people's ears.
Xu Honglian continued speaking.
"But it's strange, Auntie. You've been married to Uncle for so long, and you haven't gotten pregnant yet. How could she get pregnant so quickly?"
"Do you think it's possible that she slept with someone before she even got married..."
These past few days, didn't they catch a young intellectual named Zhang Shuixian having sex with Wang Laizi? That's what Xu Honglian was referring to.
"The educated youth in those settlements weren't good people at all!"
"His fourth aunt is so fast, maybe she is..."
"Bang!" A brick smashed down in front of Xu Honglian.
This startled Xu Honglian, who was engrossed in talking to Li Cuiping, causing her to scream. Li Cuiping was also taken aback.
The two sisters-in-law looked up together, in the direction from which the brick had flown.
They saw Gu Changzheng, who was building a wall for Gu Changshan's house, standing there with his eyes narrowed, holding a brick in his hand, looking at them with a cold expression.
No, to be more specific, he was looking at Xu Honglian with a cold expression.
The reason for this is obvious to Xu Honglian.
She never expected that talking badly about others behind their backs would be overheard so quickly.
Xu Honglian looked at Gu Changzheng somewhat awkwardly and asked, "His fourth uncle... what are you doing...?"
"Say it again."
Gu Changzheng spoke in an extremely cold tone, his narrow eyes sweeping over Xu Honglian: "Say it again, and this brick won't hit the floor at your feet, it will hit your head."
The utterly cold tone made one tremble slightly.
But the meaning behind those words was even more chilling.
This Gu Changzheng, how could he protect Lu Huaijiao to such an extent?
Xu Honglian was burning with jealousy, but on the surface, she still had to force herself to appear calm.
“Um… his fourth uncle, you misunderstood. I was talking to his third aunt about the educated youth at the educated youth settlement, not about his fourth sister-in-law. You misunderstood.”
Xu Honglian was about to ask Li Cuiping, who was standing next to her, to speak up for her, but Li Cuiping put the clothes in a basin, picked them up, and left.
Xu Honglian: ? ? ?
Gu Changzheng scoffed coldly.
He turned around and went back to work.
At the same time, Huang Tingxiu also arrived at their doorstep.
Lu Huaijiao was eating the cucumber that Gu Changzheng had washed for her in her room when she heard the noise outside. She put down the cucumber and went to open the door.
She was quite surprised to see Huang Tingxiu come over.
"Huang Zhiqing?"
Huang Tingxiu handed a small packet of brown sugar to Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao did not answer.
I don't know what Huang Tingxiu means.
Huang Tingxiu blushed slightly: "Um... Lu Zhiqing, thank you for what happened last time..."
Is she thanking me because of the drugging incident that day?
Lu Huaijiao felt that Huang Tingxiu had chosen the wrong person.
"I didn't help you with anything. It was Brother Tiezhu who helped you. You're thanking the wrong person."
"I...I know...but...thank you very much."
