Chapter 164 Gossip Backfires



Cai Qinghui stuck out her tongue. She didn't believe that he would dare to do anything in front of her second sister-in-law.

"Chengze."

Lin Jingshu looked at him disapprovingly.

Gu Chengze immediately put away his claws and said, "Wife, you must be thirsty. Have a drink of water."

Lin Jingshu didn't buy it. She moved closer to Gu Chengze and whispered, "Don't give me that. Xiaohui is still here. You just scared her."

Don't think she didn't notice the confrontation between the brother and sister.

Before Gu Chengze came down, Cai Qinghui had already chatted with Lin Jingshu for a while.

As the youngest in the family, Lin Jingshu finally had a friend of the same age, and she called her "sister-in-law" affectionately.

This made the youngest Lin Jingshu very satisfied.

"Have you forgotten that you didn't want to get married when your parents urged you to? Why are you just watching Xiaohui's fun?"

Gu Chengze glanced at Cai Qinghui, and there was a hint of pride in the other person's pleading eyes.

he......

Okay, now that my wife has spoken, I have to calm down even if I don’t want to.

"For the sake of your sister-in-law, I'll forgive you this time."

After hearing this, Cai Qinghui immediately hugged Lin Jingshu tightly.

She announced that from now on, her second sister-in-law would be the person she admired the most, and if anyone spoke ill of her, she would be the first to disagree!

Lin Jingshu didn't feel very sleepy after her nap.

Gu Chengze suggested going out to take a look.

"I'll take you out on my bike."

The reason I ride a bicycle is simply because I don’t want the children at home to follow behind and join in the fun.

He wants to go out on a date alone with his wife.

"OK."

Lin Jingshu missed the special snacks in Beijing. She hadn't tasted the long-lost flavors in her memory for a long time.

When they learned that they were going out, everyone in the room wanted to follow them.

Zeng Lingshu: "Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have to go buy Jingshu two pieces of clothing."

Gu Zhuoyun: "What sister-in-law said is right, let's go and take a look together."

Gu Jingqi howled, "I want to go out and play."

Gu Chengli and Cai Qinghui, brother and sister, will follow.

Even my eldest sister-in-law, who is usually quiet and gentle and doesn't like to join in the fun, wants to go together.

Gu Chengze:.......

He knew this would happen.

"Let's go tomorrow. Jingshu and I are going to call home to let them know we're safe. We'll go next time."

Unable to persuade them, I had to use a roundabout route to divert the problem.

Zeng Lingshu and the others had no choice but to give up. Since the person involved had said so, they couldn't say anything else.

"Give our regards to our in-laws."

Zeng Lingshu called Gu Chengze to the kitchen and secretly handed him a wallet.

While his daughter-in-law was away, he instructed: "Take Jingshu to see if there are any delicious and fun things. Buy anything she likes, but be careful."

Don’t buy things that pregnant women cannot eat.

"I know, Mom."

Gu Chengze pushed the money back and said, "I have money in my hand."

Even though he is almost thirty years old, he is still a child in front of his parents, who give him pocket money every time he goes out.

"Here."

Zeng Lingshurong refused and stuffed it into his pocket, "Also, buy some local specialties and send them back to your in-laws, so that you don't have to carry any more burdens when you leave."

Gu Chengze had a smile on her lips. She was indeed their mother and thought the same as them.

"Mom is so kind. I thank you on behalf of Jingshu."

Zeng Lingshu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. As soon as the sun sets, the temperature drops immediately.

There was occasionally water on the road, which froze over time, making it unsafe to ride a bicycle with Jingshu.

"Go slowly on the road."

Zeng Lingshu stood at the door and watched them go away.

Lin Jingshu waved from the back seat.

Zeng Lingshu watched their backs disappear from her sight. Before she could go home, she heard a voice in her ears.

"Comrade Zeng, is that your second son's wife?"

The person who was speaking was cracking melon seeds and spitting out the shells, with saliva flying everywhere in the air.

Zeng Lingshu took two steps back without leaving any trace, avoiding the "launch area".

Wang Mei was unaware of this and still wanted to enter the Gu family's house.

She heard people talking in the room, and it seemed very lively. She might even hear some gossip.

As a famous gossip in the family compound, Wang Mei always adheres to the principle of eating melons. She can't stay at home in the cold weather, so she goes to other people's homes, sits around the fire, and chats about gossip.

She was not in the family compound in the morning, and only after she came back did she learn that the second son of the Gu family had returned with his wife.

She regretted not being able to be the first to eat the melon, and she slapped her thigh.

Squatting at the door of Gu's house in the cold wind, she finally got her chance.

Unfortunately, before he could reach her, he accidentally slipped and fell. In the end, he could only watch Gu Chengze leave with his wife.

Only Zeng Lingshu was left, and she had to seize the opportunity to eat melons.

When I'm bored, I share it with my friends.

Zeng Lingshu didn't want to pay attention to her, but since they lived in the same compound, it wouldn't be good to make things too ugly.

Wherever there are people, there is gossip.

Zeng Lingshu lived in a dugout during the years when she followed Gu Songshan to the border.

Even though there are few people around, gossip is still unavoidable.

When dealing with such people, we can only give them a taste of their own medicine.

"Comrade Wang, I heard your daughter is back, why haven't I seen her?"

If there was one thing Wang Mei was most afraid of others mentioning, it would be the fact that she had an older, unmarried daughter in her family.

While she was watching the lively atmosphere in other people's homes, her own home also became lively in the eyes of others.

"Rest at home, let's talk about your second son. I haven't seen him for so many years, is he still the same?"

After a lot of struggle, Wang Mei finally chose to abandon her daughter and get to the bottom of everything about Gu Chengze.

Zeng Lingshu: ...

I thought people were thick-skinned, but I didn't expect them to be this thick-skinned.

Doesn't she want to know?

I might as well tell her so that she won't stick to my butt like a plaster that I can't get rid of.

"Yes, but people are different when they are married. They are very considerate. Not long after returning, he insisted on taking his wife out for a walk. He loves his wife so much. We have never seen such a good man in our compound."

There is a saying: Walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go.

Zeng Lingshu took the initiative to express her praise and see what she would say.

Wang Mei was stunned. She had said everything she wanted to say. What did she say?!

He glanced at Zeng Lingshu. She usually didn't seem like the type to brag, so why did she change as soon as her son came back?

"Yes, yes. I see your wife is young, and she is quite different from the second brother, right?"

Not only that, she also knew that the second son of the Gu family married a rural man, and she didn't know how many people laughed at him behind his back.

She didn't believe that Zeng Lingshu, who came from a good family, would have no objection to this daughter-in-law.

"Age is not a problem. I remember that there was a ten-year age difference between you and your old man Li, but you got along pretty well."

Wang Mei: Solo kill!

Zeng Lingshu saw her expression stiff and continued calmly, "The second son's wife is very thoughtful. She brought gifts for everyone in the family when she came back."

Wang Mei: Double kill!

Zeng Lingshu curled her lips and said, "You said the second son's wife is really something. She was pregnant with twins and missed home. She picked out the things herself. You can tell me how warm my heart is."

Wang Mei: Triple kill!

Game over!

Wang Mei suffered a crushing defeat.
