Chapter 210: Children's Words

Time flies, and the little guy has grown up in a blink of an eye.

"Mom, I'm scared. I want to sleep with you." Two-and-a-half-year-old Gu Chuyao spoke in a baby voice. He ran in with his little pillow, climbed onto the bed with ease, pulled his father's pillow away, and stuck to his mother's side.

Gu Yu: “…”

This was the third day that Gu Chuyao had been forced to sleep separately from his father, and it looked like it was going to end in failure again.

Sure enough, Xiuzhu saw the pleading look in the little guy's eyes and softened her heart again. She coaxed him gently, "Okay, Mommy will hold Yaoyao to sleep today, don't be afraid."

"No, Gu Chuyao, you have to sleep alone today. If this goes on over and over again, when will it end? What kind of man must rely on his mother?" Gu Yu made up his mind that he must separate his son this time.

Never compromise, for his happy life!

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the child and carried him to the next room.

"Wow, Mommy, but Yaoyao is afraid at night. Yaoyao misses you." Gu Chuyao started crying and looked so pitiful.

Xiuzhu frowned, slapped the man's arm hard, and angrily said, "Gu Yu, I think you should sleep alone. How old is he? What's wrong with a man sleeping with his parents? If you don't like my son, get out."

Gu Yu: “…”

"I won't go out." After holding it in for a long time, he finally said this.

He couldn't afford to offend his wife, and he didn't dare to touch his son...

Gu Chuyao knew that he would not be sent out tonight, and he immediately became happy. He raised his sweet smile and said to Xiuzhu: "Mom, I love you, Yaoyao loves you the most."

Xiuzhu helped him wipe the tears from his face, then hugged him and kissed him hard a few times. She felt her heart was about to melt.

My baby son is like a little angel. He has been very well behaved since he was young and always listens to me. When he started talking, the first word he called was "Mom".

Gu Yu had something to say about this. He thought that his son was here just to trick him. This bad boy was cunning and sly. He was considerate only in front of Xiuzhu, but as a father, he could only trick him.

One time he took Gu Chuyao out to eat and they happened to meet a female colleague. She came up to him and said hello. As a result, the boy went home and said to Xiuzhu, "Dad and Auntie had dinner and chatted."

Although my son's speech was not very clear at that time, this was too easy to cause misunderstanding!

This forced him to hurriedly explain to Xiuzhu, and he finally proved his innocence by various means.

"Dad, Yaoyao loves you too, let's sleep together." Gu Chuyao said sweetly when he saw that his father was unhappy.

"Go to sleep." Gu Yu couldn't resist this kid's sweet talk. Besides, it was getting late, so he couldn't bear to torment him any further.

Feeling the change in his father's attitude, the smile on Gu Chuyao's face became even sweeter. He held his mother with one hand and his father with the other, feeling very safe and soon fell asleep.

In fact, Gu Yu was also reluctant to let his son live separately, but the child was too smart. Just like when he was a child, his IQ was far beyond that of other children of the same age.

Although his son is not mediocre, that's a good thing.

But the disadvantages are also very obvious. Whatever he wants to say to his wife, this brat can write it down and then tell it to others inadvertently.

A few days ago, when I went to the Lou family for dinner, Gu Chuyao asked his great-grandfather at the dinner table, "Dad is sick and is dying. Great-grandfather, please save him."

The people at the table didn't take it seriously and just teased him, "What's the matter, Yaoyao, why did you say your father was sick?"

"Because dad and mom were playing games while I was asleep, he said he was going to die on mom. I was awake at that time and happened to hear it." Gu Chuyao had an innocent look on his face and even wanted to explain it in more details, but Gu Yu quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.

But the married people at the table understood immediately...

Xiuzhu's face turned red. At that moment, she didn't want to be born into this world anymore. It was too socially dead.

Although Gu Yu was thick-skinned and his expression showed no change, he was also very embarrassed in his heart.

After all, it was very embarrassing for their son to tell the affair between the couple in public.

The final result was that Xiuzhu became angry and humiliated, and after returning home she informed him that she would cut off his future happy life.

Of course he couldn't agree, and he had to persist and work hard to get it for himself, only when Gu Chuyao was no longer with them.

But he has to go to work during the day, and this guy wants to stick to Xiuzhu and sleep together at night. In this way, he has been vegetarian for a whole month!

Shanghai property owners.

Xiuzhu was still a little embarrassed when she first entered the Lou family. This was her first time here since her last social death. Fortunately, a month had passed and no one would deliberately bring it up. After a while, she stopped thinking about it.

Gu Chuyao and several children of the Lou family were playing nearby, while Xiuzhu was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting with the second and third grandson's wives of the Lou family.

There was a pleasant atmosphere in the living room. Everyone, big and small, was in harmony. The children's happy laughter and the adults' pleasant conversations were intertwined.

The age difference between them was not much different. Every time Xiuzhu came to the Lou family, Aunt Lou would ask the two of them to come and keep her company. The two of them were not the kind of people who would act stubborn or naughty and had very good personalities. After a few visits, Xiuzhu became familiar with them.

Old Mr. Lou lives with his eldest son and second son. Only Uncle Lou moved out to live on his own. He is also the only one in the Lou family who did not choose to be a doctor but chose to go into politics.

The Lou family now lives in a two-story house. They moved out after their grandchildren got married, but they would often come here for dinner. Later, when they had children, they came back even more often.

After all, here they can eat ready-made meals, there are people to help take care of the children, and the young wives get along well with each other, so naturally they are willing to come back.

"Oh, you're all here. Really, why didn't you tell me that you all came over here? Don't you look down on me?" Lou Yanting appeared at the door holding her son. She pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction and complaints, as if someone owed her money.

When she came in, she saw several young and beautiful women in the room, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, sitting there leisurely drinking tea and chatting, while she herself was covered in dust and dirt, and she instantly felt very unbalanced.

Xiuzhu rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this person.

At the beginning, Lou Yanyu was determined to marry Liu Haotian, but when she saw that her family really disagreed, she actually made a big fuss about getting pregnant before marriage.

If she got pregnant before marriage at this time, she would be considered an adulteress and would be paraded through the streets. Although the Lou family was very angry, they had no choice but to stop caring about her and let her marry Liu Haotian.

But at that time, Mr. Lou and Second Uncle Lou told her that since she chose to marry such a bad man, if she encountered difficulties in life in the future, she should not come back to ask her family for help.

You will bear the consequences yourself.

The Lou family was well-off, and Lou Yanyu was the only girl there. She had never lacked food or clothing since she was a child, and had never suffered any hardship. She immediately vowed to her family that she would not have any difficulties and would not come back to ask her family for help.

But she was slapped in the face not long after. It was fine when she just got married. Aunt Lou loved her daughter and secretly gave her a lot of money and tickets. The Liu family was willing to coax her and took care of her just like they did the rich ladies in the past. Naturally, her life was smooth.

But before long, things became different.

Liu Haotian was found out by Gu Yu that he had been having affairs with multiple women and told the Lou family about it. He got scared and was afraid of being reported, so he immediately resigned and expressed his determination to love Lou Yanyu.

In the name of love, he can give up his dreams.

Lou Yanyu, a girl who had never experienced love but was blindly pursuing love, could not resist these sweet words and was quickly brainwashed by Liu Haotian.

She fought against her family for him and even threatened that she would die if Liu Haotian was reported.

According to the method discussed by Gu Yu and Mr. Lou, there was no doubt that they would report Liu Haotian.

When the others are no longer in Shanghai, even if Lou Yanyu makes a fuss, it won't last long. After a year or two, I'll introduce her to a reliable partner and this matter will be over.

But Aunt Lou was afraid that something might happen to her daughter, so she wouldn't let them do it no matter what.

Xiuzhu was still pregnant at that time. Gu Yu didn't want to get involved in those messy things. He was able to help investigate Liu Haotian for the old man's sake. He didn't want his grandfather, at his age, to be upset because of the affairs of the younger generation.

But since her own mother has said so, why should he care? It’s not like he has nothing better to do.

…

The reason why Lou Yanyu is like this now is inseparable from the doting of her aunt Lou Er.

After Liu Haotian lost his job, he had no income. The Liu family members were all selfish. Although they lived together, they were never willing to pay for groceries.

Lou Yanyu couldn't stand the bland meals, so she had to pay for the vegetables and meat herself. However, she didn't know how to live lavishly, and her money soon ran out.

Later, when she became pregnant, she returned to her parents' home and cried about how the Liu family didn't take care of her, didn't care about her, and there wasn't even any meat in their food.

When Aunt Lou Er heard this, she couldn't bear to see her pregnant daughter suffer, so she started to help her out of principle.

Nowadays, Lou Yanyu has long forgotten her original promise and visits her mother's home every other day.

Every time I come empty-handed and leave with big bags.

And I also developed the habit of taking advantage of small things.

"Yanyu, you're overthinking it. We just met by chance today." Yu Wanwan tried to smooth things over but in her heart she was thinking, you know that people don't like you, so why do you have to say it out loud? It's quite embarrassing.

Yu Wanwan was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law.

Lou Yanyu's life is not easy, so it's okay for her to ask her mother-in-law for help, after all, they are her own parents.

But she always comes to her husband to cry poor and take advantage of various subsidies from her husband's company. She can't stand this. Who doesn't want to live their own life?

In the past two years, the couple had many quarrels because of this annoying sister-in-law.

"Hmph." Lou Yanyu didn't say anything else. She sat down with a sullen face and started eating the pastries on the table.

Except for Liu Xiaobao who ran to play with the other children, no one else gave up their piece.

Like a whirlwind, the pastries on the plate were gone in a short while.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and even complained, "Why are there only a few pieces? They're not enough for me alone."

The adults were speechless when they saw her like this, but the children were different. It was one thing for them not to be in a hurry to eat, but it was another thing that the pastries were gone.

But the young Liu Xiaobao was still showing off in front of his older brothers and sisters, and the little ones started to make a fuss, clamoring for cakes.

Apart from Liu Xiaobao, Gu Chuyao was the youngest among them. He did not clamor with other children for cakes, but fiddled with his short legs, came to his mother, and looked at her eagerly.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Okay, baby, if you want to eat, mommy will ask grandma to send it to you." Xiuzhu touched her son's little face and comforted him gently.

She brought the pastries. Her mother-in-law mailed two boxes from Beijing, and she brought them all to the Lou family.

These pastries are from a time-honored brand in Beijing and are very hard to buy. Xiuzhu is lucky because Gu Yu can help her get them no matter how rare they are.

But the Lou family's life is only slightly better than that of ordinary people. Doctors now have a fixed salary, and the monthly allowance is fixed, although they do not have to worry about food and drink.

But these days, everything is scarce, and these exquisite pastries are still not eaten often.

The eldest aunt of the Lou family left a box for the old man, and opened another box and placed it in the living room, allowing several young wives to eat and play with their children.

But the three daughters-in-law of the Lou family did not move, thinking that the children could eat after they were tired from playing, and also, they wanted to save some for their elders.

Who would have thought that Lou Yanyu was so heartless and ate them all.

"Auntie ate them all. Humph, she didn't leave any for me."

"That's right, I hate my aunt."

Several children of the Lou family were angrily expressing their accusations against Lou Yanyu.

Lou Yanyu was embarrassed and started to complain to Xiuzhu, "Humph, you knew there were so many people here, but you didn't bring more. I'm afraid you just wanted to show off how many good things you have, so you just gave us some to get rid of."

Xiuzhu didn't indulge her and retorted, "You ate it all yourself without asking the children, and now you blame me?"

"Stop making trouble, come to your aunt's house some other day, and she will treat you to other delicious food." She shouted to the children not far away.

The children were easy to please. When they heard that they could have some cakes, they started playing games again.

Lou Yanyu was furious. She had always looked down on Lin Xiuzhu, who was so spoiled. Why didn't she have to do anything, eat well, dress well, and be spoiled by others?

Immediately, she yelled at Xiuzhu like a shrew, "Well, you, Lin Xiuzhu, still complain that I eat too much. Since you despise me, then quickly take your son and get out. This is my home."

"Also, everything you eat and use now belongs to my cousin. How shameless! You rely on your looks to hook up with my cousin and start looking down on others? You need to understand that you are an outsider."

Xiuzhu also got angry when she heard her slandering her, but she was not good at quarreling. Facing Lou Yanyu's aggressiveness, she seemed a little weak, "Do you think I want to see you? I'm here to see my grandfather and my aunt. It's really funny to return to your house."

Lou Yanyu thought she was just being cowardly and wanted to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by his sister-in-law.

Yu Wanwan couldn't stand it and spoke up for Xiuzhu: "Yanyu, you are going too far. Is it wrong for Xiuzhu to bring the cakes? They are a time-honored brand in Beijing, and they are not easy to buy. They were originally given to everyone to try something new. If there are enough cakes for everyone to eat, they will go bankrupt."

The second grandson's wife of the Lou family also said, "That's right, Yanyu, what you said is wrong. Xiuzhu kindly brought the cakes over, how can it be her fault?"

"Also, Xiuzhu is marrying your cousin, so she is one of our family. Then according to what you said, your sister-in-law Wanwan, your aunt, and your own mother are all daughters-in-law who married into the Lou family. Aren't we all outsiders?"

Xiuzhu secretly gave a thumbs up to her second sister-in-law, thinking, since she is a teacher, she should say more!

"You are just trying to curry favor with her, but you are all traitors. Humph, just wait and I will make sure you all get what you deserve." Seeing that everyone was speaking for Xiuzhu, Lou Yanyu became furious. He made some harsh words and left the Lou family angrily with Liu Xiaobao.
