Chen Xuanxuan saw her mother, her face was full of seriousness, and her words were particularly stern. After thinking about it seriously, she nodded seriously.
"Mom, don't worry."
"I will never make a mistake in this matter. I will never tell my parents-in-law about my relationship with another man, nor will I tell my husband and sons about this. After all, I am not crazy."
Chen Xuanxuan had learned from old lady Liu that she would never tell anyone before things were finalized.
When old lady Liu left her man and looked for some capable men outside, she was always sneaky.
She would never say in the village, "I hate my husband because he is a good-for-nothing, he doesn't make money, he doesn't support his family, he's incompetent, he can starve his children to death. So for the sake of living, for the sake of survival, I have to go out and find another capable man for myself..."
No matter what, Old Lady Liu couldn't tell anyone what she was going to do or what she had planned.
Chen Xuanxuan was very clear-headed on this point.
...
However, in the closed and backward village, there were actually no secrets.
What's more, as long as the villagers in Gujiagang had the opportunity and time, they would keep a close eye on Chen Xuanxuan's family.
Chen Xuanxuan's father-in-law, Gu Yu'an, farted in the house in broad daylight, and the whole village knew about it within less than a morning.
So, after Chen Xuanxuan and Liu Zhao went out to meet a few times and spent a few days together, some people in Gujiagang soon found out.
Those who saw Chen Xuanxuan talking and laughing with a handsome and young man were very excited, and their faces were full of schadenfreude.
"Hahaha, it's what they deserve, it's what they deserve! I knew that Yan Ge'er's wife was a restless person..."
After someone said this, the people in the village began to spread rumors.
Soon, the elderly Gu Yu'an also learned the news.
So, he ran to his son with an excited look on his face and told him about this.
"Son, I knew it, I knew your wife is a worthless person!"
"Son, now everyone in the village and outside the village knows that your wife found a lover outside when you were not around. Moreover, the man she found is younger than her..."
Gu Yu'an noticed that his son's face changed, and he couldn't help but comfort him at that time, "Son, to be honest, I sympathize with you."
"Your wife is a wasteful woman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. She only knows how to eat and do nothing. She doesn't like to do anything all day long. When doing housework, she says she is tired. ... I thought about it for a long time, and I think your wife should be free."
"If your wife is like other women in the village, who is either carrying a child or doing housework every day, or plowing the fields or sitting in front of the door spinning yarn and weaving cloth, then I will definitely not think of looking for another man."
Gu Yanzhang did not take his father's words seriously at this time, because in his opinion, his father just likes to make trouble.
Dad is a person with a particularly extreme personality. He has always had a lot of opinions about his daughter-in-law.
Usually, he regards his daughter-in-law as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. He finds ways to find fault with her and pick on her every day.
After a long time, Gu Yanzhang felt that he was really afraid of him.
Gu Yanzhang has always wanted a quiet, stable, happy and peaceful life.
He didn't want his father to be here looking for trouble every day.
So, Gu Yanzhang, who was still working hard to make buns at this time, couldn't help but admonish his father.
"Dad, whether you are outside or inside the house, you should not say such things. If others know about it, and then it gets to my daughter-in-law's ears, she will definitely be in a bad mood."
Gu Yu'an felt bad when he heard it.
As her father-in-law and her elder, why should he care about the mood of her daughter-in-law?
"Son, I told you all this, do you still think I am harming you?" "
Son, I told you a long time ago that your daughter-in-law is not a good person. Why don't you believe me?"
Gu Yu'an is already old.
This elderly man likes to talk a lot.
It is obviously the same sentence, but they can say it three or four times without getting tired.
Sometimes, they can say it more than 10 times.
Gu Yanzhang was "educated" by his father at this moment.
Gu Yu'an noticed that his son was particularly impatient with him. He just said a few more words, but he started to have a long face. He felt that he was really sad and discouraged.
He worked hard for decades and finally raised this son, but this son was so unfilial to him and didn't listen to any of his opinions. Even when his daughter-in-law cheated on him, he didn't believe it... This shows how much his daughter-in-law can make him love her.
"Oh my, my heart aches, I really regret it now. I regret why I didn't stop you from marrying that Chen!"
Gu Yanzhang heard him getting more and more outrageous and unpleasant, he took a breath and suppressed his temper.
"Dad, please don't say these things, okay? After all, it won't look good if this matter gets out."
Gu Yu'an saw his son and didn't believe it no matter what. His daughter-in-law had cheated on him. Therefore, he had to suppress his hot temper and said to Gu Yanzhang earnestly, "Son, what do you want me to do in order to believe me?!"
Questioned by his father, Gu Yanzhang calmly replied, "Dad, as the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you catch the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you catch both of them."
"I have no evidence, no means, and it doesn't matter what. If I really do what you want and make a big scene, or even catch an adulterer in front of so many people, what do you think I should do then?"
Gu Yanzhang felt that there was too much of a generation gap between him and his parents, and they couldn't talk about it together, so he rearranged the buns he had made, and then prepared to drive his donkey cart to the county town.
Seeing his son leaving without any reluctance, Gu Yu'an felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him directly on the head.
