They even started calling him "stepfather."
so……
She changed her strategy and began to deliberately get close to Ji Zichen.
Then.
Her mother had no right to criticize her because of her intimate relationship with Uncle Gu, but her two older brothers were different.
Her two older brothers are one single and one married.
They doted on their younger sister, so when they saw her with Ji Zichen, they immediately exploded.
Ji Zichen: "..."
Seeing Xuancao's defiant gaze, and remembering how she told the Qin brothers that she called the eldest brother her stepfather, with that tattling look on her face, it was simply...
Don't be too smug.
At this point, he finally understood why the ancients said that only women and petty men are difficult to deal with!
They're really hard to raise!
One second they're all smiles and charming, the next they're badmouthing people. It's so unfair!
Ji Zichen stood at the entrance of the main room, his face disheveled in the wind.
In the kitchen.
Yu Mingxiang heard the commotion outside and glared at Gu Guanhai, who was cooking.
Why are you provoking them?
She said irritably, "They're still young, some things need to be explained to them slowly."
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
His lips twitched slightly. "Young? They're in their early twenties, and you still call them young? You've been protecting them too much."
"When I was in my twenties, I had fought countless battles. I knew those piles of corpses like the back of my hand..."
As he spoke, Gu Guanhai noticed Yu Mingxiang's darkening expression, and his tone changed, becoming ingratiating as he said, "Is the food cooked? If it is, take it out quickly, or it will fall apart."
Yu Mingxiang: "Hmph!"
She snorted coldly, too lazy to pay him any more attention.
However, thinking about how the children's teasing words had actually come true—that Gu Guanhai and she had indeed started dating—and Yu Mingxiang…
It was rather awkward.
She knew the children cared for her and respected her thoughts; they would never stop her from making a decision. But…
Some things are easier said than heard, the key point is...
The kids will definitely tease her again, she...
She felt it wasn't worth it to ruin her reputation for a man and be laughed at by her children, and she disliked Gu Guanhai even more.
Gu Guanhai: ...
He knew what was bothering her, so he just kept smiling and helped her cook and do other things, being unusually attentive.
Yu Mingxiang looked at him with a helpless expression.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, but the key is this person...
Her smile is so beautiful.
I just can't keep playing.
The two were busy cooking in the kitchen while the other two were in the backyard.
Qin Weiguo and Qin Xiangdong pulled Xuancao into the east room.
In the east room.
Xue Ru was sitting cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), teasing the little dumpling to turn over. When she saw the three of them come in, she immediately turned around.
"You're back!"
She smiled and asked, "Have you found Qin Yuzhu? Where was she sold to?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Weiguo waved his hand.
"Not found."
He said with a frustrated look, "Let's not talk about that insignificant person. Let's talk about the house first. Wife, my second son and I were only gone for half a day. How did you look after the house?"
"What? Mom, Mom's lost? My sister, my sister was almost kidnapped too?"
These words, full of resentment, were spoken.
Qin Xiangdong and Xuancao: "??!"
He immediately turned his head and looked at his older brother with a shocked expression.
The eldest brother's status in the family...
Even the daylily, which was only found a few days ago, knows that it's not much better than the herbs at home!
The eldest brother actually dared to speak to his sister-in-law like that, it's unbelievable...
You've gotten bolder!
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru said: ...
She glanced at her husband casually.
"You won't be able to sell ducks and geese here!"
She snorted and said, "If you and your second brother aren't home, that's just a quantitative change, a simple decrease in the number of people. But what about Mom, Uncle Gu, and my little sister and Ji Zichen...?"
"That's a natural reaction triggered by the secretion of love hormones, which falls under the category of biology. What does it have to do with someone like me who has a high level of chemistry?"
