The next day, when Lan Guoer woke up, Su Guoyu had been sitting in the main room chatting with Tang's mother for a while.
"Guo'er! Did you stay up late again last night?"
Su Guoyu watched her walk out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, and muttered like a worried old mother,
"Although the college entrance exam is stressful, you can't study yourself to death! Look at you, how thin have you become in the past few days?"
When Su Guoyu just walked in, she heard Tang's mother say that Lan Guoer didn't get enough rest at night and was still sleeping. She knew that Lan Guoer was going to take the college entrance examination, and she automatically imagined the scene of Lan Guoer studying by lamplight at night.
Lan Guoer rubbed her forehead! She ate and drank well all day long, and except for a bit of exercise at night, everything in her life couldn't be too perfect, okay? How could she have lost weight? And where had she lost weight?
But after hearing Su Guoyu's sincere words, she looked at herself uncertainly.
There's not much change! Her chest is bulging, and seems to be a lot fuller than before Tang Zhan came back.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? I just heard you mention Grandpa Meng. What happened to Grandpa Meng?"
Lan Guoer was embarrassed to say more about getting up late, so she changed the subject.
"It's still that Meng Jiao!" Su Guoyu's face was full of displeasure when he mentioned Meng Jiao.
"I really don't know how Uncle Meng, such a wise man, could have such a stupid granddaughter!"
"What happened to her?"
Lan Guoer stared at Su Guoyu with wide eyes, her expression slightly nervous, "Is she going to cause trouble for Grandpa Meng again?"
Su Guoyu shook his head. "That's not the case! But this time she got herself into big trouble! You should have seen the grandson of Mr. Zhao next door, right?"
"You mean Zhao Bing?" Lan Guoer asked curiously.
"Could it be that she and Zhao Bing..."
Thinking of the scene of the two people pulling each other on the street on the day of registration, Lan Guoer had some guesses in her mind.
"That's right!" Su Guoyu said with disdain.
"I don't know how the two of them got together. From what Meng Jiao said, the guy from the Zhao family even got her pregnant.
You said it's shameful to be unmarried!"
Tang's mother said, "In my opinion, although this Zhao family grandson is not a good person, this woman surnamed Meng is not a good person either!
What well-behaved girl would make such a fuss about it? This Meng Jiao dared to tear her face off and make a scene in the courtyard. Isn't she just plotting to marry that kid from the Zhao family?
Lan Guoer felt that what Tang's mother said made sense and nodded slightly.
But she always felt that there was something strange about this matter!
Logically speaking, both of them are unmarried, and Meng Jiao is pregnant, so why not just get married? Why do they have to make things so indecent?
"What did the Zhao family say? Just let her make such a fuss?" Lan Guoer asked.
There are many important people in the compound, and Meng Jiao's disturbance will probably have a bad impact on Mr. Zhao.
"Mr. Zhao didn't expect such a thing to happen! He almost fainted from anger!" Su Guoyu said.
"The old man immediately ordered the guards to call the Zhao family back.
The eldest and his wife agreed to let Zhao Bing marry Meng Jiao without saying a word.
But Zhao Bing was choking and looked unhappy!
He insisted that the baby in Meng Jiao's belly was not his!
He even knelt before Mr. Zhao with tears and snot, asking him to make the decision for him. But it was a scene for everyone in the compound.”
"That's a difficult matter! The husband has his own reasons, and the wife has her own reasons! How did it end?"
Tang's mother stuffed a handful of melon seeds into each of their hands and asked curiously.
She had only listened to the beginning. There were not many entertainment options these days, and the city was different from the countryside. When she went out to the big locust tree, she could listen to plays about family matters every day.
It was rare to hear such a grand drama in this city, and Tang's mother listened to it with great interest.
"How can this end? Meng Jiao is already pregnant, and someone has testified that they saw the two of them together, kissing and making out. The Zhao family has to acknowledge it even if they don't want to!
Could it be that you really want to let Zhao Bing go to jail?"
Su Guoyu ate melon seeds and shook his head with a half-smile.
"That same day, Mr. Zhao had Zhao Bing and Meng Jiao taken to get their marriage certificate. Look, the Zhao family has been preparing for the wedding banquet these past two days!"
"This is exactly what Grandpa Zhao would do!"
Lan Guoer thought about Mr. Zhao's majesty and nodded, but she was wondering in her heart,
Even though Zhao Bing is a bit of a philanderer, he wouldn't disown Meng Jiao just because she's pregnant, right?
What's more, Meng Jiao is Grandpa Meng's granddaughter. Even if Grandpa Meng is not close to her, he should still be somewhat cautious.
But he insisted that the child in Meng Jiao's belly was not his, and he would rather she make a big fuss and let everyone know about it than marry her. This was somewhat strange.
However, it’s just a matter of listening to other people’s gossip!
Lan Guoer was just analyzing things logically out of habit and didn't meddle in other people's business.
"I see that my eldest brother has nothing to do these past two days, so he goes to pick up Wenying from get off work. He comes back cheerful every day. I'm afraid that in a few days, I will have to change my way of calling her sister-in-law!"
Just after finishing eating the Zhao family’s melon, Su Guoyu started eating his eldest brother’s melon.
The difference is that the one from the Zhao family is bitter melon, while the one from Su Guosheng is Hami melon.
"If you ask me, the two of them are not young anymore. If they like each other, why are they still hesitating?
Once you get the certificate, you can move in together! It's so cold, it's so nice to have a warm bed!"
Tang's mother ate melon seeds and muttered to herself, mentioning Lan Guo'er.
"Guo'er, don't you think this is the case?"
Lan Guoer scratched her head. She herself had never been in a relationship, so how could she understand other people's affairs? What's more, this other person was her own father!
Even if she knows a lot, it's not easy for her to intervene!
"I think Dad should have his own plans."
Lan Guoer glanced around the room and said, "Have the three kids gone out for a walk with Grandma and Aunt Qing again? I'll go look for them."
Lan Guoer stood up and fled the scene!
"This kid, she's just trying to cover up the truth when I mention this! I really don't know what she's thinking."
Tang's mother looked at Lan Guoer's back and scolded her.
“It’s really not easy for children to talk too much about the elders’ affairs!
If they are not proactive enough, some people will say that they are not happy; if they are too proactive, some people will say that they do not want to fulfill their filial duties and are in a hurry to find a nanny for their family!
If I were to ask you, the fact that the children don't object is the greatest support for this matter!"
Su Guoyu had often heard his sisters-in-law and other women gossiping about other people's families in the compound, so he was very understanding of Lan Guoer.
