The longing in Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan's eyes was undisguised.
Gu Changzheng's expression darkened: "They were bought for you."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers cheered and reached out to grab it.
Gu Changzheng raised his hand, and the two brothers collided directly together, their two lumps of flesh hitting each other with a loud thud.
Before the two children could say anything, Xu Honglian couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey, Uncle, you bought toys for Jindan and the others, but why aren't you letting them play with them?"
Xu Honglian was afraid of Gu Changzheng, but her love for her two sons outweighed her fear.
Gu Changzheng raised his head and gave Xu Honglian a cold glance.
Xu Honglian immediately shrank closer to Gu Changqing.
I'm still a little scared.
Gu Changzheng turned his gaze back and looked down at the two chubby boys in front of him: "The water guns were bought for you by your aunt, but whether or not to give them to you is still up for consideration."
"What? You deliberately bought water guns for them but didn't give them to them? Are you trying to give them to those two good-for-nothings?"
Xu Honglian suddenly let out a sharp scream.
The entire kitchen fell silent.
Several gazes turned to Xu Honglian. Xu Honglian realized she had misspoke. She moved her lips and said shamelessly, "I didn't say anything wrong. Girls are just a burden to the family anyway. Who wouldn't give the best things to the boys in their family? Why would they give them to the burden to the girls in their family..."
"Bang!"
Two sounds rang out simultaneously. One was the sound of Gu Jianhua slamming his enamel cup heavily onto the table, and the other was the sound of Lu Huaijiao smashing her bowl on the table.
The others were drawn to the two sounds.
Specifically, he was attracted by Lu Huaijiao's actions.
In their family, the only person who had ever dared to smash a bowl was Gu Jianhua, the patriarch.
Lu Huaijiao, who has only been in the family for two days, actually dared to smash a bowl? And she did it at the same time as Gu Jianhua?
This is indeed rare.
Even Gu Changzheng looked at the person beside him.
"Second sister-in-law, you're a woman too, right? If, as you say, women are all a burden, then shouldn't Mom and Dad have provided you with food and drink after marrying you into the family?"
Lu Huaijiao was already in a bad mood, so if Xu Honglian had toned it down, Lu Huaijiao wouldn't have bothered with her. But Xu Honglian's constant use of the term "good-for-nothing" really angered Lu Huaijiao.
"How come the child born to a money-losing woman like you is so precious?"
She snatched the water gun from Gu Changzheng's hand and immediately handed it to Daya and Erya, who were hiding behind the eldest couple.
"Come on, Da Ya and Er Ya, let your auntie let you play with the water gun."
Daya and Erya had never had toys before. They looked at the novel toy in Lu Huaijiao's hand with curiosity and fear, hesitating to reach out and take it. Liu Chun's face was even paler, and his body was trembling slightly as he sat on the stool.
"Fourth...fourth...sister-in-law...this...this...this is...not...appropriate..."
Liu Chun was rather weak-willed, and because she had given birth to two daughters, she was always bullied by her younger brother-in-law, Xu Honglian. She always gave her things to Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan first.
So when she saw Lu Huaijiao trying to give her two daughters expensive toys they had never seen before, her first instinct was to avoid trouble from Xu Honglian, and she kept refusing.
Lu Huaijiao sneered: "What's inappropriate about it? I bought it with my money, I can give it to whomever I want, it's all up to me."
Xu Honglian was so angry that her face twisted in rage.
“Father, Mother…” She turned to Gu Jianhua and the others to complain.
However, when her gaze fell upon Gu Jianhua's gloomy, inky face, she paused for a moment, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Da Ya Er Ya".
Gu Jianhua spoke up.
The two sisters trembled and looked up at Gu Jianhua pitifully. Their fearful and terrified eyes touched Gu Jianhua's heart.
He doesn't have a preference for sons over daughters; whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all descendants of the Gu family. But the second son's family really needs to be disciplined.
"Da Ya and Er Ya, please accept these gifts from your aunt. Remember to thank your aunt."
Gu Jianhua spoke in a gentle tone, trying his best to use the most approachable voice to talk to his two granddaughters, for fear of frightening them.
Da Ya and Er Ya both raised their heads, looked at Gu Jianhua, and then at their parents.
A loving smile appeared on Gu Changyuan's honest and simple face. He stretched out his rough, dark hands and gently stroked the heads of his two exceptionally sensible daughters.
"Da Ya, Er Ya, thank you, Auntie."
"Her father."
Liu Chun grabbed Gu Changyuan's sleeve, afraid that he would offend his second son's wife.
Xu Honglian was indeed very angry, but with her parents-in-law and her most frightening younger brother-in-law present, she could do nothing but be furious.
Gu Changyuan ignored Liu Chun and looked at Daya and Erya encouragingly.
The two thin little girls finally timidly reached out their hands. The moment they grasped the water gun, Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan burst into tears.
“That’s ours, it’s ours.”
"Water gun, we want a toy water gun, that's ours."
The two chubby boys opened their mouths and howled, then lay down on the ground, rolling around and throwing a tantrum.
The rest of the Gu family members all looked rather grim.
Only Lu Huaijiao remained unmoved. She squatted down beside the two girls, patiently teaching them how to use the toy water gun, completely unaffected by their wailing and howling.
The calmer Lu Huaijiao remained, the more embarrassed the Gu family felt.
Gu Changzheng, his face grim, glanced at the two brothers who were throwing a tantrum: "Shut up, if you want to howl, go outside." His face was covered with frost, and his voice was also frosty.
It seemed as if Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan's voices had been paused.
"There's a switch here. We'll turn it on, fill it with water, and then press this button so the water will come out." Lu Huaijiao's voice was sweet, and it became even sweeter when she spoke to the child.
She gently unscrewed the cap and then demonstrated how to use it.
The two little girls, one seven and the other six, were not very old, but they studied very diligently. Their exceptionally large eyes were filled with a thirst for new things.
That look melted Lu Huaijiao's heart.
She originally wanted a child, but it seems that Gu Changzheng doesn't want to have children with her. She wonders if she can take these two lovely little girls and raise them.
Lu Huaijiao thought for a moment, then shook her head and rejected her idea.
Well, since Gu Changzheng doesn't want children, she definitely won't be with him for long. In that case, it wouldn't look good to continue supporting his niece. She can only try to be nicer to these two girls until she divorces Gu Changzheng.
"Have you all learned it? Have you remembered everything your auntie just said?"
Er Ya nodded rapidly.
Daya hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Let's go fill it with water and see if it leaks. If it does, Auntie will go and cause trouble for them."
"good."
