Chapter 106 (Catching Bugs)
"Aunt, don't be so ridiculous. Do you think that Jingda is owned by my Ah Yao? She can just shove anyone in if she wants. Are you suffering from senility? I don't think you are ignorant."
The word "Alzheimer's" had just spread among their group of people, and many people didn't know what the disease was, but everyone knew that it was not a very good disease after all. The woman whom Zeng Yue called "Second Aunt" immediately changed her expression.
"you……"
As soon as she uttered a word, Zeng Yue blocked her back, "Second Aunt, if you hadn't come to see me today, there are some things I wouldn't have said. As for your son, send him back to town to attend middle school and see if they will still accept him. He has been even more naughty than our Gu Qing since he was a child. He would go to the roof and tear off the tiles if he wasn't beaten for three days. He didn't even graduate from junior high school. You let him go to Beijing University. Do you want your son to be looked down upon in school?"
Zeng Yue always spoke gently and carefully, especially when she was outside, she had a bit of intellectual arrogance and she would never say such harsh words. But she spoke like this at this moment, obviously she had reached the limit of her tolerance.
The woman opposite Yu Yao, whom she had never seen before, was speechless for a long time. Finally, seeing that she had no choice but to say, she said angrily, "You... Zeng Yue, you are unfilial. I am your second aunt, not your second aunt. Wait, wait, wait for your second uncle to come, and then I will see how you are going to tell him."
"It's no use asking my second master to come. Goodbye."
More and more neighbors gathered around, and everyone was watching the Gu family's joke, but no one said anything to meddle in it.
Because this auntie is really too much. She opens her mouth and wants to send her son, who is in his twenties and hasn't graduated from junior high school, to Peking University. How can she be so shameless? Does she think anyone can go to Peking University?
Even if Zeng Yue didn't scold her today, they would still have to help. However, they didn't expect that Zeng Yue, who usually keeps a low profile, would go above and beyond today and scold the person away.
"What's going on?"
"Hey, isn't this Yu Yao? Why are you back now? You didn't see me. Just now, a relative of yours asked you to send her son to study at Beijing University." An auntie smiled maliciously, "Tell me honestly, have you really done such a thing? Otherwise, why would that person have such an idea?"
Some people talk like this person, carrying guns and sticks, as if she feels good just because she sees others doing bad things.
Before Yu Yao could open her mouth to refute, someone beside her said, "Sister Fan, what are you talking about? Aren't you just trying to force someone to send your son who just graduated from high school to Peking University? Your words are really vicious."
"Who are you talking about, you nagging person? My son is in the top ten in his class. Does he need someone to force him into Beijing University? He will definitely get in."
"Yoyoyo, you know that it's just the top ten in the class of a crappy school. If you don't know, you might think it's the top ten in Beijing..."
Seeing the two quarreling until their eyes turned red, Yu Yao was afraid that they would fight, so she hurried to stop them. "Okay, okay, the two ladies, please stop talking. Since you are talking about me, I will say it in front of so many people today. If you don't believe me, you can report me. Don't be so gloomy in front of me. I have never violated the rules for anyone, and I will never do that. Moreover, most importantly, I don't have that right. I am just a graduate of a school. Can I go back and give orders to the school? What do you think?"
After saying this, she seemed very helpless, took Zeng Yue's arm and walked home, too lazy to greet these people.
Zeng Yue walked quickly and walked quite far away. She said angrily, "Damn it, what kind of people are these? Ah Yao, let me see you. You've lost weight. Really, I came back and let you see this terrible thing."
Yu Yao didn't care at all. She had long been accustomed to the gossiping ways of these women who had no entertainment activities, and she even wanted to join them after retirement.
Of course, it's just a thought. It's true that she likes gossip, but she doesn't like making or spreading rumors at all. It's scary to think about it.
She shook off her goosebumps and asked, "Mom, who is that person? Second Aunt or Second Aunt? Oh no, it's Second Aunt. Why have I never seen her before?"
I have been married to the Gu family for so many years, and my children are old enough to cook soy sauce, but I have never seen such a close relative.
"What second aunt? She's just the wife of the son of the old man's cousin. The two families had no contact before, and no one talked about contact. Now that the second old man has just left, they have started to get interested."
Since the matter was such a complicated one with distant relatives, Yu Yao didn't care. She believed that her family could handle it well. She was just worried that those relatives who didn't know what was going on would come to cause trouble and bring disaster to the family.
"Then just ignore her. Tell the security guard that anyone who comes to our house must first ask who they are looking for before letting them in." Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to meet such a person again.
Thinking of that person's suggestion to arrange for her to send her son to Beijing, she wanted to laugh, "Mom, who told you that? Who said I have the ability to arrange for someone to go to school?"
After saying this, Zeng Yue's expression turned serious.
"I don't know who spread this rumor, but Ah Yao, this is not the first time I've heard such a rumor. Is someone trying to harm you on purpose?"
Zeng Yue was already old enough, and she had seen a lot of the intrigues and dirty things that were inevitable in hospitals. She realized almost immediately that something was wrong with this matter.
Yu Yao was a little confused, "Does everyone know about this?"
"I think so."
That being said, it is possible that someone wants to harm her. This matter is not a big deal, but it is also not a small matter. If it gets out of hand, it will definitely not be a good thing for Yu Yao.
She was afraid that this was just a test or bait set by the other party, and there might be more schemes waiting for her.
Yu Yao found that she was quite hated. Who made her excel in school, marry into a good family, and make money?
She knows that she has foresight and a golden finger, but others don’t know. After all, mediocre people are the majority.
"I know, Mom, it's okay, don't worry. If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door." For this kind of thing, all you can do is to deal with it as it comes.
She believed that judging from what she was doing now, it would be difficult for the other party to find her fault even if they wanted to. She did not make much money from doing business and writing papers. Now she and Gu Qing had no shortage of money at all. What they did was just to realize their own social value. Presumably, their superiors had seen it.
Zeng Yue has always been at ease with her. In the past two years, Yu Yao has done so many things and solved so many problems. Even her own son is not that caring. What else does she have to worry about?
But she didn't want these boring things to affect her daughter-in-law's mood, as she had finally come back.
"Oh, right." She changed the subject. "Kong Lin, you still remember the guy you were dating back then. He's getting married soon."
Zeng Yue and Yu Yao have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so long that she knows that her daughter-in-law loves to watch the excitement, so she quickly shared with her the latest news she had seen.
Yu Yao didn't feel uncomfortable either, she now regarded Zeng Yue as a sister, apart from the necessary respect, she could treat her like a friend when chatting with her.
"From what you said, the target is not Yuan Lingling?"
"No, I heard that they have married into a rich family now." There was a hint of weirdness in Zeng Yue's words, and it was obvious that she really disliked that family.
Originally, the two sides were just nodding acquaintances and had never interfered with each other. But ever since Kong's mother came to provoke Yu Yao last time, the Gu family and the Kong family usually did not greet each other when they met. Zeng Yue could also vent her anger by talking about their gossip.
"What high branch?" Yu Yao asked cooperatively.
Zeng Yue shook her head. "I don't know either. I just heard that the other party is a person in charge of the trade fair. I guess he is a powerful family. But I don't know much about this. But he is rich for sure. You haven't seen Kong's mother and her grandson. They are so proud of themselves."
"Is that so? She and Yu Lili have been together for so many years. I thought they could be together."
Yu Yao had run into Yu Lili in the family compound more than once. Every time she ran into her, she acted arrogant and said, "But I don't care about you." Yu Yao didn't know how to describe her weird behavior.
She clearly wanted to mock herself, but she acted so calmly. Yu Yao didn't know why. But then again, she didn't have anything to mock herself. She also didn't know what was going on in her mind that made her so confident.
But it was precisely because of her self-confidence that Yu Yao felt that she was very likely to be with Kong Lin, and that she might have been abandoned.
"Who said it wasn't? I can't say much about what kind of person Yu is, but she did a lot of things in the Kong family. I heard that she was like a maid when she was in the Kong family."
Needless to say, it was known that these words came from Kong's mother, that big mouth. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened the gate and walked in. The house was still tidy as before. Yu Yao suddenly felt tired from running around outside.
"That was her choice, but I don't know if she regrets it."
Zeng Yue turned around and saw her tiredness, and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while?"
"No, I'll help you." Even though they were sisters, Yu Yao could not take it for granted that she would enjoy Zeng Yue's care.
Zeng Yue also understood what kind of person she was, but she still felt sorry for her and couldn't help but say, "You should learn from your father and Gu Qing and delegate more tasks to your subordinates. Don't tire yourself out."
Yu Yao hadn't heard her talk for a long time, and it sounded very cordial. Although she was tired, she couldn't be unable to get through it even at this moment.
The two hadn't seen each other for about two months. There was a lot to talk about, and time passed by in a flash.
When Gu Qing returned with the child, the meal was almost ready.
"mother……"
Little Taozi ran to the kitchen with a bang, and Gu Qing was so scared that he quickly followed her. When they reached the door, he picked her up with one arm, thus preventing little Tuanzi from tripping.
Yu Yao turned around and saw the handsome face she missed and her beloved daughter.
"Hey, whose cute little Taozi is this?" Yu Yao quickly washed her hands and wiped them clean, then went over and held the child in her arms, "Come here, give mom a kiss."
"I want a kiss too." Gu Qing said subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Yue next to him gave him a look of disdain.
Of course Yu Yao would not let him have his wish and reached out to pinch him.
As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage. Yu Yao's little action made Gu Qing a little distracted.
"Mom, why don't you kiss Dad?" Taozi looked innocent. Mom said that you should only kiss the person you are closest to. Aren't mom and dad the closest people to you?
Taozi feels that her father is so pitiful.
Yu Yao: “…” Sometimes, she didn’t know how to communicate with her children, and then she glanced at the culprit.
Gu Qing smiled at her and said shamelessly: "Because your mother is shy, she wants your father to kiss her." After saying that, he really kissed Yu Yao on the face.
Yu Yao suddenly felt really shy, her mother was still here.
Zeng Yue was too lazy to watch young people being so nauseous, but she couldn't bear to see her daughter-in-law embarrassed. "Go, go, hurry up, don't block here anymore, clean up and get ready for dinner."
It has been a long time since the family sat down to have a meal like today. At the dinner table, Gu Wu couldn't help but ask about the situation at Yu Yao's security company. But in fact, Yu Yao would tell him about the situation there every once in a while, and he already understood it very well, but he was still worried.
Everyone also understands that Gu Wu is a little distrustful of young people and women. This is the general impression of men of his generation towards women and young people.
Zeng Yue knew that he couldn't change his bad habit, so she stopped talking and just put food into his and Yu Yao's bowls, so that Yu Yao and the other boy couldn't even think to talk anymore as soon as they raised their eyes.
Everyone knew that Yu Yao was tired after rushing back, so no one kept talking to her after dinner, but Taozi had to be coaxed to sleep.
It's so magical. No matter how good she is with her grandparents, dad and aunt, and no matter how long Yu Yao is away, when Yu Yao comes back, Taozi is still the most attached to her mom.
"Mom, kiss me." Taozi suddenly blurted out these words in Yu Yao's arms in a daze, making Yu Yao couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly, he felt Gu Qing approaching. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Yao covered his mouth. He knew what he wanted to say without having to guess.
"Kiss my baby, it's time to go to sleep..."
It was time for the child to go to bed, and after Yu Yao coaxed her for a while, she fell asleep.
When the child was brought back to her room, Yu Yao was hugged by Gu Qing as soon as she entered the room.
"Wife, you are so cruel. You don't even miss me after not seeing me for so long."
Yu Yao didn't waste time talking to him. She walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. Then things got out of control.
After the two of them had been intimate for a while, Yu Yao talked about what he had seen in the family compound when he came back today.
Gu Qing's expression was solemn. "I know about this. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but I have heard this more than once. I have asked someone to investigate. You don't have to worry. We have not done anything, so we are not afraid of others throwing dirty water on us."
"I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid of the impact on my family. Also, I don't know if the other party will have a backup plan." Yu Yao was so confident and bold to tell Gu Qing about her concerns.
Gu Qing hummed, his attitude rather halfhearted.
Seeing his expression, Yu Yao asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your roommate?"
"Nothing... I was just thinking that the timing of my second grandmother's appearance was a bit strange. She hadn't appeared for so many years, and she suddenly appeared here and said such words. It was a bit unusual. I'll go check it out later."
Yu Yao didn't comment, but still explained: "I heard that they came here because the old man in charge there passed away."
"Yes, it's possible, but I still think it's a little strange. Let me check it out."
There are so many coincidences that they no longer seem like coincidences.
After he said that, Yu Yao also thought, "If someone really did it on purpose, then those people would probably start from our food factory. As we all know, food safety is the most important part of a food factory. Recently, various supervisions have become more and more stringent. If there is a problem at this time, it may be more troublesome."
As more and more people engage in food business, various chaos are happening more frequently. If supervision is not strengthened, there may indeed be problems.
"Well, your place should be quite well-behaved. You should have no problem guarding against villains." Gu Qing still trusted Yu Yao on this point. He had never seen anyone as suitable to be a manager as Yu Yao.
Yu Yao didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would probably be so embarrassed that she would find a hole to hide in.
But his words did make Yu Yao take this matter to heart.
It is not enough to just focus on yourself, you still have to be careful of some unexpected external factors.
The next day, after she got up, she veiled some of her guesses to the Liao family in charge of the food factory. In addition, she naturally sent a message to the security company, asking them to strengthen their defense against some internal personnel of the company. If the security personnel were just there to guard the gate, she would not have spent so much time training them.
Yu Yao didn't spend too much time worrying about this matter. She had finally arranged a vacation for herself, naturally to accompany Taozi.
When she is not around and the Gu family has to go to work, the security girl hired by the family will take her to Yu Sheng's place to play with Brother Xingxing.
Yu Yao would naturally be brought along to play as well.
But on this day, as she was carrying Xiao Taozi out of the courtyard, she faintly heard a woman crying nearby.
The woman suppressed her voice, but Yu Yao had such good hearing that she heard it immediately, and the more she listened, the more familiar the voice sounded.
"How could you do this? You said you only loved me, and I gave you my innocence. Now you want to marry someone else. Believe it or not, I will sue you for being a hooligan right now..."
After hearing the content, Yu Yao realized that the person who was talking was not her roommate, Yu Lili.
The other party's identity is self-evident, it is Kong Lin who grew up from a small scumbag.
Hearing what the two said, Yu Lili was probably moved.
But Yu Yao would not interfere in their affairs. Yu Lili probably didn't want her to know about this. Besides, in their current situation, should they be brought together or persuaded to separate? For women of this era, neither choice seems to be very good.
Yu Yao didn't want to get involved in these troubles, so she took Xiao Taozi and quickly took another route.
Sometimes Yu Yao was actually very scared of Xingxing and didn't know how to play with him. More than once she was thankful that she didn't give birth to a boy. If there was a little bastard like Xingxing at home, she would definitely not be able to help but beat him up.
However, she only thought so in her mind. When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yu Yao still bought some egg cakes and milk powder for the other party. These days, these things do not have any complicated additives and are safe for children to eat.
Yu Yao knocked on the door, and just as the door opened, a young man rushed into her. If she hadn't known he would do this, she might have been hurt by him.
"Third aunt, Xingxing misses you so much." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the cake in Yu Yao's hand. As he glanced, he saw Taozi standing beside her, blinking her big eyes at him, so he hurried to make up for it.
"Sister Taozi, I miss you too!"
Seeing that he was about to pick up Taozi, Yu Yao quickly said, "Okay, okay, come on, share the egg cake."
As he was speaking, Yu Sheng also walked out from the inner room.
After graduating from Peking University, Yu Sheng chose to continue his studies. The most important thing about his major is to read a lot, so he can stay at home most of the time, mainly to accompany his children.
This somewhat affected his studies, but his family also hired an aunt from a security company who helped a lot.
The occasional presence of his children has become a way to relax him during his studies. Now that the royalties from newspapers have been restored, there are still many companies that need various types of text for publicity, and their pens can be used.
Yu Yao originally thought that Yu Sheng would be a noble scholar who was dedicated to creating masterpieces, but later she realized that she was narrow-minded. The advertising slogans he wrote were not much different from the familiar advertising slogans that Yu Yao saw in later generations.
Now he has a job at a TV station, specializing in writing appropriate scripts for various programs. Some of the scripts are so catchy that even the children in the family compound can recite a few lines.
It’s just that televisions are too expensive these days, otherwise Yu Sheng would have become very popular.
He picked up Taozi, and Taozi said crisply, "Second Uncle, kiss me."
Yu Yao: “…”
Ever since I told her that she can only kiss people she is close to, her habit of liking kissing has not changed at all, because they are all people she is close to, what else can Yu Yao say?
What bad intentions could a doll have?
"Did you come back yesterday?" Yu Sheng still looked as cold and lonely as before, but he seemed to be in much better health.
"Well, come back and see the child. I brought you some books."
Yu Yao took out some ancient books she had collected in Guangzhou from her bag and handed them to him, and Yu Sheng's eyes lit up.
"You're the only one who knows how to think about your second brother."
It was rare to hear my second brother say such corny things, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh, "If your sister-in-law knew about this, you would probably end up sleeping on the floor."
Everyone knows that they have a good relationship, but it's a pity that the second sister-in-law is busy, sometimes even busier than Gu Qing, so they are rarely seen together, but this does not affect their relationship.
Yu Sheng didn't even raise his head, flipping through the book and saying, "You lost your mind after I praised you a few times and started to laugh at your brother. I'll punish you by making you play with Xingxing for a day."
"Second brother..." Yu Yao looked pleadingly, but it was a pity that her second brother's energy had been completely sucked away by the book.
Helplessly, Yu Yaozhen played with the two children for the whole day until Gu Qing came to pick her up in the afternoon, and then she became a little more sober.
Who knows that Xiao Xingxing is a foodie? He will stick to whoever buys him food. Today's third aunt is his favorite third aunt.
"My brain is about to explode from all the noise." Yu Yao handed the sleepy little Taozi to Gu Qing and pressed her forehead.
Gu Qing chuckled twice and said nothing.
He thought it was nice for Yu Yao to come and play with Xingxing occasionally. When he was with the child, he didn't have to worry about anything. When he was tired, he could just go back to sleep. He didn't have to worry about work when he was free. He should change his mood.
As the two walked slowly on the road, Yu Yao realized that Gu Qing was a little silent today and didn't say much along the way.
She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? What happened?"
It has to be said that after being together for a long time, the two of them still have some tacit understanding. As soon as she saw Gu Qing's expression, Yu Yao knew that she guessed right and something really happened.
Gu Qing held the child and moved to the other side, leaning a little closer to Yu Yao, and said, "Yu Lili is dead."
"One body, two lives."
