Zhao Zhengyuan said with a bitter face, "I want to too! Brother Gu, but it's really too difficult! Not to mention my mother and mother-in-law, my wife used to be very reasonable, but now that she has a child, she's different. I advised her to just bear with it and not say anything, but she got angry with me and said that I don't care about her and our daughter at all..."
Gu Wei frowned as he listened.
Even the most upright officials have always found it difficult to settle family disputes.
What is happening in the Zhao family is perhaps a microcosm of many ordinary families.
As an outsider, it's best not to get involved.
But he really couldn't hold back anymore.
“Yuanzi, I’m being blunt, I’m just saying what I think. A woman’s postpartum period is the most vulnerable and sensitive time. You need to be more understanding, tolerant, and caring, and try to see things from her perspective instead of making her just endure it. If you chill her heart, it’s hard to warm it up again. And ask yourselves honestly, hasn’t everything changed since the baby was born?”
Zhao Zhengyuan had always respected Gu Wei very much, and these words were like a wake-up call, making him look ashamed. "I admit that I was indeed a little disappointed when I found out it was a girl, and I'm not the same as before... I know what to do now, Brother Gu, thank you for reminding me."
Gu Wei patted his shoulder, "As long as you don't think I'm being too nosy."
He was a witness to their journey from engagement and marriage to pregnancy and childbirth, and of course he hoped they could have a good life together.
If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't have said anything.
Zhao Zhengyuan hurriedly replied, "How could that be? If that were the case, I would be ungrateful."
Gu Wei smiled and didn't say anything more.
He accepted the money, paid the service fee, and also gave Zhao Zhengyuan some watches.
When the two went to the next room again, Tang Jiamei was excitedly complaining to Li Guizhi about her daughter-in-law.
Gu Wei sighed, "The relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed complicated."
No matter how good the two people were before, once a conflict or disagreement arose, they immediately became adversaries.
Zhao Zhengyuan heard it too.
But since they were in someone else's house, there were some things they couldn't say, so they quickly pulled their parents away.
Gu Jianguo and Gu Wei followed them out and saw the family of three to the gate.
When they returned to the house, Li Guizhi put down the rag and said with deep emotion, "Dajiang's wife used to seem so kind and easy to talk to, but I never expected her to get so stubborn. Whether it's a boy or a girl isn't something Teacher Yao can decide, so blaming her is useless. The grudge formed during this postpartum period will last a lifetime..."
Gu Jianguo chimed in, "That's for sure, especially since the child is already born. It's their only son, and they'll have to live together from now on. If they just stand there awkwardly, no one will be happy. Why are they so pessimistic?"
Gu Wei shared the same sentiment, saying, "I hope Aunt Zhao can figure things out soon and mend the relationship, otherwise she will definitely regret it later."
Sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), Gu Hongjie blinked and suddenly asked a surprising question, "Mom, if I marry a wife and she doesn't have a son, will you still feel this way?"
Fortunately, Gu Wei picked up his special teacup from the kang table and was about to bring it to his lips before taking a sip, otherwise he would have definitely put on a show of being a human sprayer.
Li Guizhi was both amused and exasperated, then replied seriously, "I certainly won't!"
Gu Jianguo patted Gu Hongjie on the back twice and said with a laugh, "You little brat, you haven't even grown your hair yet, and you're already thinking about this kind of thing. Isn't that a bit premature?"
Gu Hongjie grinned and laughed along.
Gu Wei noticed Li Guizhi's fleeting expression of sadness and understood that her grandmother was worried that her health was failing and she might not live to see that day. Gu Wei felt a little conflicted.
However, he will certainly do everything in his power to change their original fate...
The next day.
After having breakfast, Gu Wei left home.
He first went to the rented house in the city.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, they retrieved three large packages of prepared goods from a warehouse in the modern suburbs.
Then, I carried it to the clothing store using the crossbar and the back seat of the bicycle.
When Li Bin and the others saw him return, they hurriedly greeted him and started unloading the truck, getting busy as usual.
"Brother Gu, when did you get back?"
"yesterday."
Gu Wei glanced casually at the person diagonally opposite him.
Li Bin immediately reported, "That business is not doing well, it can't continue, and they are thinking of transferring it to someone else."
"Is that so?" This outcome was exactly what Gu Wei had anticipated. "Hopefully, the person who takes over will be a respectable businessman."
After that, Gu Wei didn't stay in the shop for long before riding away on his bicycle.
His next stop was the place where he took his driver's license test.
After Qiao Xinghai accompanied him to register, pay the fee, and receive the two books, the people at the supervisory office said that he could apply for the exam in six months.
Now is the perfect time, not too early, not too late.
Gu Wei successfully submitted his application and confirmed the time for the first subject's handwritten answers before finding a place to return to the modern world.
He carefully selected a dress that matched the style of the 80s and a black and white polka dot hair clip.
I imagined how my girlfriend would look in it, and I thought it would be pretty good.
She then chose an outfit to match it.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Gu Wei packed his Seagull camera, clothes, and accessories into his bag, and then went to the private restaurant.
It wasn't lunchtime yet, but the staff in the front and back of the kitchen were all actively preparing.
Since Gu Wei and Zhou Wenyi confirmed their relationship, they haven't appeared here even once.
His appearance naturally caused quite a stir.
Regardless of how Jian Fei jokes with Zhou Wenyi in private, calling her "boss lady" is still acceptable.
When facing the boss, one's attitude is extremely proper and respectful.
"Mr. Gu, you've arrived."
Gu Wei was quite satisfied with Jian Fei's work ability and nodded with a smile, "Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll go upstairs."
