Wei Ci couldn't help but was so shocked by what Mr. Gu said that she almost spit out a mouthful of water. She covered her mouth quickly for fear of being rude, but the water went into her throat. She covered her mouth and coughed violently, her little face flushed red.
Gu Shang sat stiffly on the sofa. His skin was so dark that nothing could be seen. His facial expression became even more expressionless, and he looked like a wooden stake.
Aunt Wu sighed, thinking that the unreliable Gu family father and son had caused such a scene when the future daughter-in-law came to visit for the first time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really awkward, he smiled and pulled Wei Ci up, patted her arm soothingly, and signaled her not to mind.
"Ci, come with me to see how the room I cleaned for you looks. Are you satisfied? If not, we can change it!"
Wei Ci suppressed her laughter, nodded and greeted the father and son who were both frozen, and let Aunt Wu lead her upstairs.
When Wei Ci's back disappeared upstairs, Mr. Gu's face turned dark and he looked at his second son.
"What? You've lost your heart to me after just one encounter? Gu Shang, you're a soldier! Can you be a little more determined?"
Gu Shang was silent. Just when Mr. Gu thought he would not answer, he heard him say something that almost made Mr. Gu have a heart attack.
"You're strong? You're strong, yet you're shameless enough to marry a woman fifteen years younger than you? In ancient times, you could be someone's father!"
Old Master Gu slammed the table, his momentum suddenly rising.
"At least my wife and I are in love! What about you? People are taking advantage of you! You're the only one who's still foolishly thinking you're truly in love! What kind of true love would keep giving birth to children with other men? Are you crazy? You're not bald, so why do you keep wanting to wear a hat? What's wrong? Green looks better?"
At the corner of the stairs, Wei Ci and Aunt Wu squatted there and listened attentively. At first, they nodded in unison, indicating that Mr. Gu was right. But as they listened to the end, they almost couldn't help laughing out loud again.
This person is not just stupid, he is a fool!
Gu Shang lowered his head, remained silent, and exuded stubbornness.
"How do you know that she and I are not in love? You can't discriminate against her just because she's been married, right?"
I discriminate against your ancestors!
Old Master Gu was very disappointed with his son, but then he realized that they had the same ancestor and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Mutual affection? What the hell! That woman is just raising a cuckold... Ugh! Ah Ci said that kind of ambiguous attitude, being close yet distant, neither rejecting nor accepting, is called raising fish!
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu sneered.
"Really? Congratulations then. I just heard some unfortunate news. She said this to ten people besides you! Of those ten people, you knew nine of them. The only one you didn't know was this one, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shang felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body went numb.
How is that possible? Jin Ru is not that kind of woman!
He and Jinru met at a brotherly gathering.
Jinru was the widow of one of his brothers.
Having grown up without a mother and surrounded by grown men, Gu Shang, who was just beginning to fall in love, was unsurprisingly attracted to the mature, gentle and considerate Jin Ru. He gradually fell into her arms and ended up fighting for her, almost causing a loss of life.
After the incident became a big deal, the parents finally realized what stupid things their sons and grandchildren had done, and the whole compound was filled with wailing for a while.
Those who value the younger generation in the family should send the love-sick generation away and let them come back when they are clear-headed.
Gu Shang was naturally one of them. He was the farthest away and was directly sent to the border to guard the snow-capped mountains, where he stayed for ten years.
Until recently, Jinru suddenly got married again. Her husband was her previous husband's uncle, who was 45 years old this year.
This news was like a magnitude 10 earthquake in the compound, and people were talking about all kinds of things behind the scenes.
I thought Jinru would be quiet after getting married, so I transferred my son back home after ten years. Unexpectedly, that woman still didn't give up and kept pestering me even after getting married again.
Looking at his son's reaction, Mr. Gu knew that there was still a lot of water in his son's head!
"The old man actually knows everything. That woman has been secretly contacting Shang'er, but Shang'er never replied to her. That's why the old man felt relieved to let him come back."
The Gu family does not care about whether the daughter-in-law is of equal social status. As long as she has good character and correct values, even if she is a dung collector, as long as his son likes her, Mr. Gu will not object. He himself comes from a humble background, so how could he care about whether someone is remarried or not.
The reason why he disagreed was that he saw that the woman was not simple.
The family she married into placed great emphasis on family background. However, despite growing up in the countryside, she squeezed out many outstanding girls to marry into their family. Even after her husband's death, she was still able to hang out with many outstanding young men.
She charmed those young boys so much that they didn't know whether they were good or evil. They gave her food, drinks, clothes and jewelry, and she never refused them. She even acted pitifully in her words, which led to those boys fighting for her one after another.
Wei Ci listened with great interest. This was even more interesting than the novel!
"And then? What happened afterwards? How did it all fall apart?"
Aunt Wu spoke softly, pulled Wei Ci up quietly, and walked towards the room she had arranged for her, whispering as she walked:
"That woman's name is Jinru. Her family is ordinary. They live a decent life. Jinru has been beautiful since she was young, so she is naturally ambitious.
Not long after she met her first husband by chance, they got married and had a daughter. However, on the day of her daughter's full moon, she passed away due to an accident.
Originally, this matter was really nothing. To put it bluntly, our compound doesn't have many things, but there are many widows. But Jinru is not honest. Not long after, people in the compound started to spread gossip about her, saying that she... It doesn't matter. Anyway, she is not a good person. Ah Ci will stay away from her in the future. "
Wei Ci was listening with great interest, but Aunt Wu suddenly blushed and stopped talking, which made Wei Ci very upset.
How could you just stop talking halfway like that? Keeping her in suspense would only make her more curious!
Helplessly, Aunt Wu refused to tell the rest. Finally, she was pestered by Wei Ci and slipped away, making the excuse that she was busy in the kitchen.
Wei porcelain·······
This feeling is even more uncomfortable than when someone suddenly sneaks up to you and says mysteriously, "I have something to tell you," and when you listen carefully, there's suddenly no further news.
Later, Wei Ci heard more and naturally knew more about Jin Ru. She had to give her a thumbs up. This woman was very romantic and not picky. If she lived in the future, she would definitely be a socialite.
Today's dinner was very sumptuous. Almost all the Gu family members were present except Gu Zhan. Even Aunt Gu, who was very busy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, took some time out to come and accompany Wei.
