Chapter 199 Lou Yanting
"Hongxia, you'd better go out. Otherwise, Ayu will come over later and see you bullying his wife. I can't protect you." Aunt Lou said in a bad tone.
Her relationship with her second brother's wife has always been average. It's not good to talk about it in depth. The key is that other people will not listen to her, the so-called sister-in-law. It would be better to bring Gu Yu out.
After all, my second brother's wife has always been a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Gu Yu did not mention his wife's family background in the Lou family, but Xiuzhu's appearance, temperament and conversation did not look like a girl from an ordinary small family.
Besides, even if she comes from a rural family, so what? Since Gu Yu married her, he should treat her as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. How can he look down on her or listen to her orders?
Class differences are no longer popular nowadays. If my second brother and his wife behave like this outside and offend others, they will be in big trouble.
Lou's second aunt, Yin Hongxia, pursed her lips tightly, frowned, and had a very ugly expression on her face. Then she left without looking back.
"Xiuzhu, don't be angry. Auntie made sugar-roasted chestnuts. Come, I'll peel them for you to eat." Auntie Lou ignored Yin Hongxia and was busy comforting the people around her.
Xiuzhu was very satisfied to see her second aunt being humiliated. At this moment, she was like a victorious little fox, squinting her eyes and tasting the chestnuts handed to her by her eldest aunt with a smile on her face.
"It's delicious. My aunt's cooking skills are amazing."
"Hahaha, eat more if you like. I'll pack some for you to take away when we get back." Aunt Gu couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw the little girl happily eating chestnuts without any coaxing, and a smile appeared on her face.
Gu Yu loved his little wife dearly, and he entrusted her to her before leaving. If there was any unhappiness, she would be more or less responsible.

At dinner time, the Lou family members arrived one after another.
"This must be my sister-in-law, right? My name is Lou Yanhao. I’m one year younger than your cousin. You’re younger than me, so just call me by my name." Lou Yanhao greeted politely.
"Hello." This was the first time Xiuzhu saw Lou Yanhao appear in the Lou family after coming to Shanghai.
Lou Yanhao was wearing a pair of glasses and looked gentle and refined, which was very consistent with his profession.
Xiuzhu knew that he worked in a research institute and seemed to be highly valued by his superiors. Of course, she heard all this from her annoying second aunt.
Whenever the second aunt opened her mouth, she would never leave her promising eldest son.
…
After dinner, Gu Yu was called to the study by Lou's third uncle to chat. Lou's third uncle was also a politician, and he must have wanted to talk about some sensitive topics, so he specially called Gu Yu over alone.
Xiuzhu sat on the sofa and waited in a shameless manner. It was getting late, and they would go home when Gu Yu came out.
The women of the Lou family were all cleaning up in the kitchen. Xiuzhu pretended to want to help at first, but it was obvious that she had never done any housework. And she was pregnant, so how could it be so tactless to ask her to help?
Not only did he not allow Xiuzhu to help, he also drove her own daughter-in-law out.
The main reason was that he was afraid that Xiuzhu would be bored being alone, so he found her a companion.
The gay men were drinking tea and chatting at the dining table, and now there were only three lesbians sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Xiuzhu, Lou Dajiu’s daughter-in-law Liu Huihui, and Lou Yanting.
Lou Yanting is the only girl among the grandchildren of the Lou family. Usually everyone gives in to her. Over time, she doesn't even pretend to do housework. Even if she doesn't do any work, she will sit on the sofa and rest with peace of mind.
Xiuzhu, who also grew up in a spoiled family, is different. She would help her mother with small chores within her ability at home, and would also pretend to offer to help in other people's homes.
She is sensible and polite.
The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while. Liu Huihui was a gentle and considerate woman. Seeing Xiuzhu was bored, she started a conversation, "Xiuzhu, the pattern on your sweater is so beautiful. Look how delicately the flower is embroidered. You knitted it yourself. You have a really skillful hand."
Xiuzhu lowered her head to look at the pattern on the clothes and thought, it’s so complicated, this is too high a estimate for her! She knitted a scarf for Gu Yu, and it took her three years to finish it...
He shook his head and explained aloud: "No, I bought this."
"Where did you buy it? It's really beautiful. I go to Shanghai Department Store all the time, but I've never seen anything like this style." Lou Yanting also joined in the conversation.
Xiuzhu was a little surprised and thought, the sun really rose from the west today. Lou Yanting, who was always looking down on others, actually praised her beautiful clothes.
Lou Yanting has followed her mother's example since she was a child. She is also a person who puts down the weak and flatters the strong, and treats people in a different way according to their status.
The first two times Xiuzhu came to the Lou family, Lou Yanting looked down on her and treated her with contempt.
"Bought it from another city," Xiuzhu replied indifferently.
Lou Yanting continued to ask where she bought it and whether he could bring one for her as well.
But seeing that Xiuzhu didn't reply to her at all and was later interrupted by Liu Huihui, she felt a little unhappy.
She muttered quietly, "Tsk, you stingy guy, forget it."
She had been misled by her mother into thinking that her cousin's wife was from a small place. Plus, Xiuzhu was extremely spoiled, so she looked down on her.
In fact, Lou Yanting had liked the clothes Xiuzhu wore a few times before, but she didn't want to lower her status, so she didn't ask.
In fact, she was a little jealous. They were of similar age, so why was he more pampered than her when he didn't have as good a family background as her? Still so beautiful!
But now that she knew Xiuzhu's family background from her mother, she no longer looked down on her and even felt a little more afraid.
Some people just can't stand others being better than themselves, especially those who are not as good as themselves and are close to them.
Lou Yanting's complaint was so soft that Xiuzhu didn't hear it clearly, so she ignored her.
All her clothes were brought from Hong Kong, so of course she couldn't tell anyone about it. But one has to use your brain when lying, and she didn't want to use her brain for someone who once disliked her, so she chose to ignore it.
"Xiuzhu, let's go home." Gu Yu came out of the study and strode towards his wife.
Xiuzhu looked at him with a smile on her face and a hint of joy in her tone, "So soon, okay, let's go home."
She had just sat down for a short while, and actually felt a little sleepy after the meal, but Gu Yu was called away to discuss something, and she couldn't make a fuss to go home, so she suppressed her sleepiness and waited here for him to come out.
I thought I would have to wait a while, but it wasn't so quick.
"Well, I don't want you to wait." Gu Yu held his wife's hand, his voice extremely gentle.
He was pulled aside by his third uncle to talk about some work matters, but he had already taken Xiuzhu out for a long time today, and he was always worried, so he was absent-minded during the conversation.
I quickly answered a few questions from my third uncle, and thought that I would let him go as soon as I finished answering!
As a result, the third uncle became more energetic and continued to chat with him.
Gu Yu couldn't help it, so he said goodbye directly and suggested to talk in detail another day.
After saying goodbye to the Lou family one by one, Gu Yu leaned sideways and used his hand to protect Xiuzhu as she got into the car. Soon, the car slowly drove away from the Lou family.
Lou Yanting looked at them with envy. She was 22 years old and still unmarried, which was the time when she was looking forward to love.
She saw everything that Gu's cousin did just now.
I don't know what she was thinking about, her face turned red...
