She complained to Grandpa Gu that his granddaughter-in-law was an outsider who had married into the family, just like Grandma Jiang.
She is the one who is related to Old Master Gu by blood; she saved Old Master Gu's life.
"Cousin, my life is tough, nobody cares about me, and this is how my life will be. I'm not lucky enough to marry as well as my sister-in-law, but at least I'm a member of the Gu family..."
Grandpa Gu was immediately alarmed and quickly interrupted Gu Hong.
What is this person saying? Isn't he trying to harm him?
If he continues talking like this, he'll definitely get a scolding from Old Mrs. Jiang that night.
"Ahem~ Times have changed. It would be foolish not to enjoy good fortune. There's no need to discuss trivial matters like where to eat. We should mind our own business when it comes to young people."
Gu Hong continued, "My great-aunt has arrived, and Lin Han actually puts on airs and can't even greet her. How rude! She doesn't respect her elders at all!" Gu Hong's words were stuck in her throat.
Xiaoya tugged at her, and she changed the subject.
"Then after we finish eating, I'll go upstairs to see my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson."
The family started eating, but Gu Hong was the only one talking to herself at the table. The other members of the Gu family didn't really want to talk to her, but they were all respectable people and maintained basic politeness.
After dinner, Grandpa Gu made some tea and chatted for a while before asking Gu Huaiming to take Gu Hong and Xiao Ya to the guesthouse.
"Cousin, I've booked rooms at the guesthouse. You've been traveling all day, so I'll have Huaiming take you there. Get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hong immediately pulled a quilt out of her luggage.
"Cousin, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I can just sleep anywhere on the floor. I don't care about anything else. No need to waste money. I can sleep in the living room."
Grandpa Gu was speechless. Was that what he meant? Was he someone who was afraid to spend money?
He's afraid of being scolded by his wife.
"That won't do. You're guests here, and we should have let you stay at our home. But we have too many people and there are no spare rooms available, so we'll have to arrange for you to stay at the guesthouse."
But don't worry, the guesthouse will be excellent. I've booked you rooms that are up to the standards for regimental-level cadres.
You've been here for more than a day or two, so you need to get some rest. How can you sleep on the floor at home?
It's inconvenient for everyone.
Gu Hong seemed not to understand the implied meaning in Old Master Gu's words and stubbornly refused to leave.
As soon as she arrived, Grandpa Gu arranged for her to move out. How can she be sure about her job?
Don't keep dragging it out and let it turn into a disaster.
“Cousin, it’s alright. Xiaoya is also capable of enduring hardship. We’ll sleep on the floor, so you don’t need to worry about it. We’ll make our own beds.”
As he spoke, he and Xiaoya took out the bedding they had brought and spread it on the ground.
"See, isn't that perfect?"
Grandpa Gu was utterly speechless. How could this person not understand what people were saying?
When Grandma Jiang came downstairs, she saw Gu Hong lying down on the floor of the living room and glared at Grandpa Gu.
Old Master Gu felt extremely guilty. He had indeed booked a guesthouse and told them to stay there, but they refused to leave, and there was nothing he could do.
Grandma Jiang was about to try to persuade Gu Hong, but to her surprise, Gu Hong got up from the ground and was about to go upstairs.
"Since my granddaughter-in-law is unable to come down, I, as her elder, have no choice but to go up and visit her myself."
Xiaoya, go and say hello to your sister-in-law.
The two were about to go upstairs when they started talking, and even though Grandma Jiang ran up to stop them, she couldn't.
"Gu Hong, Hanhan and the others are going to sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
But Gu Hong didn't care. "It's alright, I'll just take a quick look."
Fearing that a stranger might suddenly burst into Lin Han's room and upset her, Grandma Jiang deliberately shouted at the top of her lungs.
