Chapter 83
Now Yu Yao was completely certain that Gu Yu had nothing to do with the man named Yuan Lai. This put her mind at ease, as it meant that Yuan Lai definitely had not bullied Gu Yu.
But this does not mean that Gu Yu has not been bullied by other men.
With Gu Yu's personality, most people would not be able to tolerate her anger.
Yu Yao told Gu Qing immediately.
Gu Qing was incredulous. "What is she talking about? When have I always been bullied?"
"No? I see Ayu is very angry about this." Yu Yao tried to hold back her laughter.
"He didn't get anything good either." Gu Qing ignored Yu Yao's ridicule. He had to let his wife see who was more powerful. He would know tomorrow.
But he was still a little worried about Ayu, "Didn't Ayu reveal anything?"
Yu Yao shook her head.
Gu Qing was also helpless about this. He knew his sister's personality very well. If he could get her to say it out on her own initiative, she would probably have already said it out loud.
"Forget it. If there really is something, we can ask around or observe for a few days. We will be able to find out. It's good that it's not Yuan Lai. This kid has been a playboy since he was a child."
Just from the fact that he was kissing and kissing Chen Meiqi one step at a time, and then got married the next, it was obvious that he was completely untrustworthy.
"I'll find a chance to talk to her tomorrow. If it's really a man-woman thing, maybe seeing other people getting married will make a difference."
Gu Qing nodded, "My wife is still smart."
Soon it was the next day.
The Yuan family still has some influence in this area. Although we don't have much conflict of interest, it doesn't hurt for us to have some regular interactions.
So there were quite a lot of people attending this wedding banquet.
Yu Yao did some matching for Gu Yu, took out a braid that she had hidden in the cupboard, braided her hair into a herringbone braid and left it aside, left her hair a little longer on both sides of her ears, and tried to perm it with a boiling water bottle, which took a lot of effort on Yu Yao's part, but fortunately the effect was very good.
With the light makeup Yu Yao put on her, she looks ladylike and elegant.
"Our A-Yu is so pretty." Zeng Yue did not hide her praise when she saw her. "After lunch, I will take these two beautiful girls out for a walk and buy them some more beautiful clothes."
Yu Yao agreed that shopping can improve one's mood. If Gu Yu was in a bad mood before, he should have gone out for a walk more often.
Since both of them said it, Gu Yu would definitely feel embarrassed to refuse. She actually also really likes playing with her sister-in-law.
Everyone was waiting for them. Once the two of them were dressed up, the Gu couple led them to the wedding venue.
The place for dinner was a state-owned hotel nearby. Being able to book the hotel and invite so many people for dinner was already a great treatment, which showed that the newlyweds were definitely not an ordinary family.
Gu Wu and his family have lived in this courtyard for many years, and they met many acquaintances as soon as they went out.
Along the way, Yu Yao and Gu Yu followed Zeng Yue and called her uncle, auntie, etc., which made her want to frown like Gu Yu.
"Your daughter-in-law looks very beautiful. Won't you invite a few tables?" After saying hello, the neighbors chatted with Zeng Yue.
Yu Yao hid between Gu Qing and Gu Yu like a quail.
Gu Yu held her hand, and when others saw that they had a good relationship as sister-in-law, they knew that Yu Yao had a good status in the Gu family.
"I really wanted to give them a good time, but they thought it was too much trouble. So forget it. I plan to use the money to buy them some more clothes."
When the aunt saw how Yu Yao and the other were dressed, she couldn't tell that Zeng Yue was just trying to show off.
As she looked, she shifted her gaze to Gu Yu. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Is this Gu Yu? Oh, it's been such a long time since I last saw you. How come you've become so beautiful? Do you have a date? Zeng Yue, why are you waiting for someone to date you? If you wait any longer, you'll become an old maid."
Yu Yao pursed her lips. She still didn't like this kind of chat without any sense of boundaries.
The little girl lowered her head in shyness.
"We are not in a hurry yet. Gu Yu is busy with work, and we want to keep her for another two years." Zeng Yue's tone became a little lighter. Even if she was looking for a partner for Gu Yu, she would not say it out loud now.
But the aunt seemed to have no sense and continued, "You want to keep the girl, have you asked her if she is willing? Nowadays, which girl doesn't have a boy in her heart?"
"You are such a frivolous old man." Zeng Yue made a joke and brushed it off.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly changed his tone and said, "Gu Qing and you have been married for two years, how come you still don't have a child? Have you been to the hospital to see a doctor?"
Zeng Yue laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious? The children are still babies. Why are you in such a hurry to have a baby?"
"You, you, just keep talking tough. If you don't have any grandchildren in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The words became more and more unpleasant, and Zeng Yue also became angry. She put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Who are you saying has no grandson?"
"Don't you have no grandchildren?"
Seeing this, Yu Yao quickly went up to hold Zeng Yue, "Mom, Mom, don't be angry, don't get sick." She patted Zeng Yue's back, and then said, "I've always heard that people in the city are very particular about the art of language and have high emotional intelligence when they speak, but why do I see that this lady's words are even more unpleasant than those nagging wives in the country."
"You! Who are you scolding?"
Zeng Yue quickly protected Yu Yao behind her, "Who are you referring to?"
Gu Qing also stepped forward and stood beside Yu Yao, looking at the aunt coldly.
"Let's go. What's there to say to her? Yuan Lai is in such a good day. Why would you quarrel with her? You are worse than a shrew." Gu Wu also stepped forward and pulled Zeng Yue. "More importantly, you must not get angry and get sick. Otherwise, our family will be in chaos."
A few people walked in front of the auntie. Yu Yao glanced over and saw that the auntie was so angry that her face turned red and she started to chat with others.
Yu Yao suddenly felt that Beijing was not so peaceful after all.
She hadn't thought about the pressure that not having children would bring to her parents. Maybe she should talk to Zeng Yue and at least know what the old couple thinks.
But Zeng Yue never asked her this question, which showed that she respected her very much. Yu Yao was somewhat touched.
"That auntie almost talked to my dad about dating before." Gu Qing suddenly leaned over to Yu Yao's ear and said this.
Yu Yao's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Gu Qing. Was this gossip that she could listen to?
“So she’s targeting mom?” Yu Yao lip-synced.
Gu Qing nodded and said, "I think so."
"Hey, why don't you pay attention to the impact, Gu Qing? Why are you whispering to a female comrade in public?" Several people turned around and saw several young men and women. Among them was one whom Yu Yao had seen before. She was Lin Ling, the silly girl who had liked Gu Qing before and was being used without knowing it.
But the person who spoke was a boy. He looked good, but he walked in a sloppy manner. He didn't feel simple and casual, but rather a bit ruffian. After he finished speaking, his eyes were still on her and Gu Yu's faces. The scrutinizing look made Yu Yao feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qing took Yu Yao's hand and said, "My wife, I can bite your ear if I want to. What does it have to do with you? It's incomprehensible. Wife, let's go."
"No." The man chased after her, "Since she's your sister-in-law, why don't you introduce her to us? Do you look down on us or on your sister-in-law?"
"Of course I look down on you. Stop carrying a gun and a stick here!" Gu Qing was too lazy to talk to him, so he turned around with Yu Yao and chased Zeng Yue.
Walking in front, Yu Yao heard a female voice behind him, "Lin Ling, this Gu Qing is too much. You were really blind before."
"Stop talking, what does it have to do with me?" This was Lin Ling's voice.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened in just a ten-minute walk. Yu Yao was glad that the house they bought was not here, so that they would have some peace and quiet without knowing anyone.
After finally reaching the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Yu Yao immediately saw a newlywed couple standing at the entrance.
The two men's looks and auras are very compatible. The man doesn't look very handsome, but he has a square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is what people of this generation like. He looks very energetic.
Yu Yao subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Yu, only to find that she was staring blankly ahead, appearing to be troubled.
Following her line of sight, Yu Yao discovered that she didn't seem to be looking at Yuan Lai, but at a tall man standing on the side of the road.
The man was very tall. He and Gu Qing were the only two people who looked taller in the group. He happened to be looking over there, and when he saw them, he immediately trotted over to Gu Wu.
"Leader, auntie, you are here." He greeted them and then turned to Gu Qing and nodded, "This is my sister-in-law."
"Well, Ah Yao, he was my dad's student. I mentioned him to you, Jiang Nan."
Yu Yao nodded and greeted him, "Hello, Comrade Jiang Nan."
Jiang Nan nodded shyly, and finally Chong Gu Yu also nodded before entering the hotel with them.
Then Yu Yao felt that Gu Yu's mood was gradually getting lower, and she didn't even look at Yuan Lai.
It seemed that the person who really made her sad that day was not Yuan Lai but Jiang Nan.
But now that Ayu can meet the other party so calmly, it is probably not a matter of enmity. Maybe it is just a story of love and indifference.
However, based on Yu Yao's observation of Jiang Nan, it seemed that there was another hidden story.
The wedding banquet started quickly. The newlyweds were speaking on the stage. Everyone below had their own thoughts, but they were all looking at the two newlyweds.
The overall atmosphere was still cheerful, and nothing outrageous happened.
It’s just that Yu Yao has good hearing and accidentally heard the whispering conversations nearby.
"Didn't Yuan have a girlfriend from the art troupe before he came? How come he has a new one so soon?"
"Don't you know? How could the Yuan family recognize a daughter-in-law from the countryside? It is said that the female soldier in the art troupe made a mistake, so they transferred her to a remote area."
"The Yuan family is really cruel. They directly decided the future of a female soldier."
"It's not that simple. You haven't seen that woman. Anyway, it's not pleasant to see her. She also wants the Yuan family to promote her family members. How can the Yuan family agree to that? And I heard that she didn't make the mistake because she was framed. Maybe she was led to make the mistake."
"Some people really should not be provoked. But the Yuan family is still stingy. Look, Gu Qing's wife is also from the country. Don't they protect her well?"
Yu Yao: “…”
Who would have thought of that? It's just a melon, there's no need to drag it into her body, right?
But now it seems that Chen Meiqi is really pitiful. Her whole family is living happily here, but she is planning to marry a divorced man in a remote area like Xichuan.
Sometimes it is really important to pick the right person.
"This tastes good, try it." Gu Qing picked up a piece of shredded pork with Beijing sauce with his chopsticks and pulled Yu Yao out of his thoughts.
Yu Yao tasted it and it was indeed delicious. It was more exquisite than the state-owned hotel in Xichuan, both in terms of taste and presentation.
Soon, Yu Yao buried her head and began to eat in silence. Gu Qing kept picking food for her, which made Yu Yao feel a little embarrassed.
This scene was seen by many people, who all looked at the young couple jokingly.
Yu Yao thought that as long as she buried her head and ate her meal obediently, everyone would leave her alone, but she still underestimated how bored these people were.
"I always felt that Gu Qing was still the little brat in our yard that even dogs disliked. Now he has grown up so much and even knows how to love his wife. I can't believe it."
Now that the topic has come to Yu Yao, she raised her head and gave a tactical silly smile. She glanced at Gu Qing, who was even more embarrassed than her.
I don’t know what stupid things he did at such an old age that so many people only remember what he looked like at that time.
"Don't hold it for me anymore. It's almost full."
"Oh. Tell me what you want to eat later." Gu Qing also lowered his head, intending to follow Yu Yao's example and eat hard. It's not that he was shy, he was just afraid that his wife would feel uncomfortable, so he just wanted to take care of her. Why do these people talk so much?
However, everyone was not going to let them go. "Look, Gu Qing is embarrassed. Gu Qing, tell us how you got this. In the past, when we introduced you to someone, you almost wanted to fight with us."
Gu Qing: "Even a father like mine can't teach someone to beat his wife."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Gu Wu gave him a displeased look. The brat was making fun of his own father.
Although he thought so in his heart, he also knew that this boy was protecting his wife. Gu Wu remained calm and said, "It's a good thing to love your wife. Gu Qing did the right thing this time."
There is nothing we can say. You can't say that loving your wife is wrong. If you dare to say that, do you want to be beaten by your wife or do you not want to be loved by a man?
Fortunately, there were many people at the table, so the topic quickly changed.
Yu Yao heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Gu Yu who was quietly eating beside her. She thought her sister was really wise.
Their table was lively and noisy, but the people at the table next to them looked unhappy.
"I don't know what he is so proud of. Is this your wedding or his?" The man who had just spoken to Gu Qing was now sitting with Yuan Lai and the others, and he started complaining.
His name is Feng Liang. Apart from Yuan Lai, he is the one who gets along the most with Gu Qing in this courtyard.
In fact, they had a pretty good relationship when they were young. They were both annoying. The only people disliked were those good students who only knew how to study all day long. But he went to the army and did very well. Now he has nothing to do with these people.
What is he so proud of? What he despises most is people who think they are so great.
Yuan Lai glanced at them, then looked at Lin Ling who was eating silently at the table.
"Lin Ling, you are being too calm, aren't you? He hurt you like this, and you don't blame him at all?"
"That's right." Someone next to him echoed him, "Gu Qing is really too much. You have liked him for so long, but he doesn't appreciate it at all and even married a country girl. Isn't that a slap in your face?"
Lin Ling put down her chopsticks and asked Yuan Lai, "What happened to me?"
Yuan Lai choked and everyone fell silent.
They couldn't say with a clear conscience that Lin Ling was worse now than before. She had a job now and was very friendly to others. But all this was because of Gu Qing. Why did they feel so powerless whenever they thought about it?
At this time, Feng Yue beside Lin Ling spoke up, "But you are not as happy as before. You used to be so lively, but now you are so lifeless. It's all because of Gu Qing."
"So what? Do you want me to take revenge on Gu Qing? Can I beat him?" Lin Ling asked with a sneer.
Her mother has explained a lot of things to her these days, and she finally understands them.
None of my friends are sincere to me. They have been watching me make a fool of myself since I was a child, letting me be their tool and then making fun of me.
Everyone just felt that Lin Ling had changed a little, but they didn't hear the sarcasm in her words, because she had changed recently.
But since she brought up this topic, how could we let it go?
Feng Yue laughed and said, "We can't beat Gu Qing. What's the point of beating him? We can just deal with his young wife. Look at how stingy she is. She can only quietly bear the bullying from us."
Lin Ling couldn't bear to listen any more. She sneered and said, "Feng Yue, I don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid. You are already 20 years old but you speak like a 2-year-old. If you want to punish her, just punish her. Why are you saying this in front of me?"
"I am stupid, but I won't be led by your nose every time. I will reconcile the two of them, and you will interfere, care about Gu Qing and then marry into the Gu family. It's wishful thinking for a toad to eat swan meat!"
When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was stunned. Was this what Lin Ling said?
When did she become so smart?
And she used to be stupid but she was never so verbally aggressive, this...
"Lin Ling, don't go too far. I obviously care about you, but you don't appreciate it. You even put such a charge on me. Do you want me to die?" Feng Yue's eyes turned red as she spoke, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
Seeing her like this, several people at the table became unhappy.
"Lin Ling, why are you mad? Feng Yue treats you well, why are you angry at her?"
"Lin Ling, I think you are just acting wild here because you don't dare to go and cause trouble for Gu Qing and the others, right?"
"Yes, you finally have some self-awareness. You know that Gu Qing doesn't like you, and we are the only ones willing to be friends with you. But you didn't appreciate it and even bullied Ah Yue. You don't know what's good for you."
Lin Ling looked coldly at this group of people whom she once considered her friends, her face full of sadness, but she said nothing.
"Alright, today is my wedding banquet, stop making such a scene." Yuan Lai came out to smooth things over, "Just keep your mouth shut, I'll go and entertain the other guests."
"She is the one causing the trouble." Someone muttered, "Feng Yue didn't provoke her."
Lin Ling snorted coldly, "Feng Yue, you are really capable. You have so many people speaking for you. Why are you crying? Did I hit you or scold you? Or did I touch upon the dirty thoughts in your heart and make you unbearable?"
Feng Yue's tears hung on her eyelashes, and she looked like she was about to cry but couldn't. She looked extremely pitiful. "Lin Ling, I know you were upset because you saw Gu Qing and his wife together, but you can't take it out on me just because of this, right?"
"Stop pretending!" Lin Ling couldn't stand it any longer. "Feng Yue, do you dare to say that you don't like Gu Qing? If you say that you have never liked Gu Qing, I will apologize to you today."
Having said that, she didn't give Feng Yue a chance to speak and just talked to herself.
"Do you think I can't see it? You've had your eyes glued to Gu Qing since you were little, but you don't dare to go up to him and provoke him. Every time you urge me to embarrass myself in front of him, you and Xiao Qin are very proud, right? I don't know what perverted thoughts this has touched on in you?"
"I'm sorry, but now I don't want to play along with you crazy people. You don't have to consider me your friend anymore."
After saying that, she stood up and left, not giving anyone time to react.
Feng Liang, who was standing aside, looked at the receding figure with a dim look in his eyes.
Everyone lowered their heads to eat, pretending that nothing had happened, because they all knew that what Lin Ling said was true.
They all knew that Xiao Qin and Feng Yue also liked Gu Qing, but in fact it was not just them.
In the past, Gu Qing might have been the most annoying child for the adults in the family compound, but he was the brightest person in the crowd when they were young and ignorant.
Maybe they didn't really like Gu Qing that much, but they found it hard to accept that Gu Qing was with a woman whom they didn't know at all and who had no background.
They wanted to see Gu Qing and that woman living an unhappy life and thus gradually drift apart from each other.
Isn't this the fate of these people? Why should everyone obey the arrangements of their families, while Gu Qing can be free to treat a country woman well? They really can't accept it.
The one who was most dissatisfied was Feng Yue. From childhood to adulthood, she had a secret sense of superiority when facing Lin Ling and Xiao Qin, because her brother Feng Liang had a good relationship with Gu Qing, and Gu Qing was more enthusiastic towards her than towards Lin Ling and Xiao Qin.
In the past, he would buy me popsicles and help me teach a lesson to the little boys who bullied me. But I don’t know when he changed and became very cold to me and my brother.
Originally, after so many years, she thought she would no longer like Gu Qing, but when she saw Gu Qing walking with another woman and being affectionate with her, she really couldn't help herself.
Based on what?
Why did Gu Qing treat her like that?
They had such a good relationship before.
And Lin Ling, can't she just destroy the relationship between Gu Qing and women like before? Why did she do this?
"Okay, okay, let's eat and ignore her. Who knows what's wrong with her?"
Others might not have noticed it, but Yu Yao saw Lin Ling rushing out and the serious gazes that the people at the table cast on them.
But Yu Yao didn't care. This group of people probably couldn't do anything to her. Whatever they were thinking was written on their faces. They were just children who hadn't experienced the harsh treatment of society.
No wonder Gu Qing said last time when he came back that he didn't have any close friends in his family compound, so he didn't even take her out to meet people. If it were me, I probably wouldn't want this group of bad friends.
Yu Yao still enjoyed the wedding banquet very much. As long as she didn't take those little unhappy episodes to heart, she could just pretend that nothing happened.
Gu Qing has not been busy these two days. After dinner, he still wants to go shopping with his wife, mother and sister.
But Zeng Yue disliked him very much. "You are a grown man, but you stick to your wife all day long as if nothing happened. Can you give Ah Yao some space of her own?"
Gu Qing: “…” He was sure that he was his biological son, but it looked so unlikeable.
He didn't talk to Zeng Yue, but looked at Yu Yao and said, "Wife, don't you need my help carrying things?"
Yu Yao laughed, "I'll give you a day off for now. Ayu and I won't let mom get tired, don't worry."
Gu Qing looked aggrieved and complained: "Okay, then you guys be careful. I'll report to the team first, then go check out the house and buy some food in the evening. You guys can just come back directly."
After saying this, he left reluctantly.
Zeng Yue looked at his back as he left and shook her head in disbelief. "This married man really changes a lot, but my old client is not like this either."
"Mom, let's go." Yu Yao said a little embarrassedly. She knew Zeng Yue was not angry but just joking.
In fact, Gu Qing and Gu Wu have very similar personalities, except that Gu Qing says everything out loud while Gu Wu only takes action. But this is only on the surface. Who knows what the old couple are like in private?
Zeng Yue saw her shy look, laughed a few times, stopped teasing her, and took the two of them away.
As soon as they left, someone said behind them: "Gu Wu's wife and her daughter-in-law have a really good relationship."
"Whose daughter-in-law is not good? Besides, they have just been together, and there is still a long way to go."
Yu Yao rubbed her ears speechlessly. Couldn't these people wait until they were so far away that they could no longer be seen before they started gossiping?
"Ah Yao, Gu Qing told me that you want to wait two years before having a child, right?" Zeng Yue suddenly asked when they reached a place with fewer people.
Yu Yao was not surprised that she asked this question. She nodded and said, "I have been busy lately. If I have a baby, I would like to spend more time with the child."
Zeng Yue nodded, "That's right. The people in this academy are all very gossipy. Don't listen to their nonsense. Your father and I are not such old-fashioned people. You can have the baby whenever you want. You don't have to consider us. We are also busy and can't be at home to take care of the baby for you every day. Then you will definitely not have so much time to take care of your own things."
Unexpectedly, she would think the same as herself. Yu Yao responded, "I understand. Thank you, Mom. We have made arrangements and will plan for it later."
Zeng Yue smiled with her eyes curved, "I know you two are both opinionated people, but you don't know that although Gu Qing was a gangster before, there were a bunch of girls chasing after him in the family compound, and he didn't like any of them. Later, when he joined the army, he didn't seem to want to bring a wife back, which made his father and I very worried. At that time, I was thinking, could this boy like men?"
We have lived for so many years and have seen all kinds of strange things.
But they still couldn't accept a male daughter-in-law.
"I even asked him about it. At that time, I had dreams every day that he would bring a man back and call me mom. I was so scared that I just wanted him to bring a girl back. We didn't care what kind of girl she was. I didn't expect that this guy was not unwilling to find a girl, but had high standards. Look at our Ah Yao, who is both capable and beautiful."
At first Yu Yao was laughing happily because her mother-in-law was so funny. Who knew whether the dream she talked about was true or false? But the compliments she said afterwards really made Yu Yao very happy.
In fact, Zeng Yue didn't need to be like this. She was just a little girl from the countryside with no background. Even if she was a little prejudiced against her, Yu Yao could understand it. But she always thought about herself in everything and gave her great respect.
It can be seen that she is an extremely good mother. Everything she does is for the happiness of her son's family. But even if what she says is a bit exaggerated, it is not just random nonsense. She says what Yu Yao likes to hear.
Even if she said nice things, she didn't ask Yu Yao to do anything she didn't want to do.
"Mom, I'll feel embarrassed if you keep saying that." Yu Yao was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. It turned out that people still like to hear nice things.
Zeng Yue laughed a few more times, "I am so happy to tease the little girl, but unfortunately my Ayu just won't laugh no matter how much I tease her. I am so worried."
At this moment, Gu Yu was watching them indifferently. When she heard Zeng Yue talking about her, she raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them. But it would not be said that she had no reaction at all, at least there was a smile on her lips.
Yu Yao: "Our A-Yu is just a little quieter, there's nothing wrong with that, she's so cute."
"That's good, but now I'm starting to worry about our A-Yu's life-long event. I don't know which brat will take our A-Yu away." Zeng Yue sighed.
Yu Yao knew that she was testing Gu Yu, which was probably why she didn't want Gu Qing to follow her.
"Mom, did you ever dream that Gu Yu brought a girl back and called her mom?"
Zeng Yue was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, "You little girl, you actually made fun of your mother."
This time, not only she, but even Gu Yu laughed.
Because of this topic, Gu Yu's face turned red, and it was easy for anyone to be confused.
I guess there are many gay men around her who have feelings for her.
Yu Yao walked up to her and took her arm, "What kind of gay man does our A-Yu like?"
"Sister-in-law." Gu Yu buried his head even lower.
"I see there are quite a few good gay men at the wedding banquet today. Is the one named Zhao An okay, Mom?" She looked at Zeng Yue.
Zeng Yue frowned, "It's good, but he has several younger sisters, and they are spoiled to no end. If I marry into his family, I will definitely suffer."
"But I think Comrade Xue Bing is okay." She quickly denied her own statement, "No, he's still not okay. I think he's a bit arrogant. He treats female lesbians the same as male lesbians. He's definitely not a loving wife."
Yu Yao nodded vigorously. She had a deep impression of Xue Bing, the conspicuous guy at their table. He was obviously a grown man, but he and those uncles and aunts made jokes about her and Gu Qing without any sense of propriety. They thought he was very humorous.
Moreover, the uncles and aunts knew to look for Gu Qing, whom they were familiar with, just like teasing a child. It was probably a habit they had from the past. But he actually targeted me. Was he very familiar with him?
Rather than letting Ayu date someone like this, it would be better for her to date a laboratory.
"What about Jiang Nan? I think he's good-looking and a nice guy."
Hearing this, Gu Yu paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal, but she still kept her head down so that people couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Jiang Nan is not bad." Zeng Yue thought for a moment and said, "But I heard that his family conditions are not very good, and his mother has a broken leg."
Seeing that Gu Yu did not reject them to continue the topic, Yu Yao asked again: "Does she need someone to take care of her all the time and has no ability to take care of herself?"
"It doesn't seem so. It's probably just that he can't work."
"That's not a big problem." Yu Yao said, "With Jiang Nan's salary, he should be able to support her easily, right? Or is it that his mother has a bad personality?"
Many people with physical defects are not treated fairly, and may gradually develop biased personalities and defects.
It is very difficult to live with such a person. Even if Jiang Nan can protect her at the beginning, all the tenderness will disappear over time. However, the other person may not necessarily be such a person.
Zeng Yue sighed, "Well, let's wait and see. But Jiang Nan is a good kid. Ah Yu, didn't you learn a few moves from him before? What do you think of him?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Yu Yao hurriedly asked, "Ayu, he has never bullied you, has he?"
Gu Yu shook his head quickly and murmured, "No."
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the department store.
There were people coming and going at the entrance of the department store, and it looked like business was good.
Yu Yao pulled Zeng Yue's arm, pinched it, and said, "Mom, let's go back and ask about this matter first. We can't be impatient. We have to slowly choose a suitable A-Yu, right?"
After exchanging a glance with Yu Yao, Zeng Yue immediately understood what Yu Yao meant. She smiled and said, "Ah Yao is right. Let's go and buy you some new clothes."
No matter what era, women have always been very strong. Yu Yao didn't want to buy clothes at first, but Zeng Yue kept pushing her like a salesperson, so Yu Yao ended up buying two sets.
When they went back, they all carried something in their hands.
They met many people along the way before they even got home, and their eyes were all glued to their hands.
Zeng Yue didn't care, and Yu Yao pretended that he saw nothing.
The world is about to change, and all they have to do now is buy a few more clothes, and no one can say anything bad about it.
When they returned, Gu Qing was already cooking.
"Now that you're back, you must be tired. You can eat after a rest." Gu Qing, wearing an apron, saw the three of them smiling happily and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Zeng Yue nodded with satisfaction, "My son is really sensible."
"My mother is really good at talking." Gu Qing added quickly, "My wife is so beautiful, and my sister is so cute."
"Pfft, go and cook your meal!" Zeng Yue glared at her son unhappily, but she was already very happy in her heart.
It feels different to have a son and daughter-in-law by my side.
"Come on, let's go up and try on these clothes."
There are only a few styles of clothes these days. Fortunately, they all maintain good figures, so even the most ordinary new clothes can still make them look more beautiful.
Zeng Yue was very satisfied with this and ate happily.
The house hasn't been this lively for a long time, and Gu Wu was also very happy.
"Ah Yao, tell me about the future plans for the pickle factory later."
As soon as Gu Wu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zeng Yue, "Go away, I have something personal to talk to Yao about. Please go tomorrow."
"I'm doing serious business." Gu Wu was helpless.
Zeng Yue sneered, "Let's get down to business, Chief of Staff Gu, do you still remember what your job is? Stop being so funny!"
Gu Wu was speechless. This was indeed "not doing his job properly". If he had known, he would have told Ah Yao yesterday, "Forget it, let's do it tomorrow. Leave tomorrow night for me."
Before Yu Yao nodded, Gu Qing stopped them and said, "Mom and Dad, have you forgotten that Ah Yao is your daughter-in-law? Don't you want a grandson?"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Yao pinched him, "Go wash the dishes. You're everywhere. Mom, didn't you say you would teach me how to knit a sweater? Let's go."
Hearing this, the Gu family father and son were speechless. Considering Yu Yao's knitting level, could she please not waste the wool?
But it was clear that there was no place for the two of them to talk in this house.
"Ayu, come and help your brother wash the dishes. Don't waste the wool with them."
As soon as he said this, he naturally got the cold shoulder from his wife and mother.
Zeng Yue pulled Yu Yao upstairs, saying loudly as they walked: "Let's just sleep together tonight. There's really nothing to say to this stinky man."
Gu Qing: “…” He felt that his family status was becoming increasingly precarious.
The whole family could see that Zeng Yue had something to say to Yu Yao, so there was no reason why Gu Yu couldn't see it. In fact, they all knew it, but everyone in the Gu family, including Yu Yao, always liked to treat Gu Yu as a child, mainly because she didn't say anything and it seemed that they wanted to love her more.
"Ah Yao, do you know something?" Zeng Yue asked directly after entering the room, "Ah Yu and Jiang Nan?"
They originally thought that Gu Yu was bullied by Yuan Lai because the news of his marriage came too suddenly and coincided with Gu Yu's abnormal behavior. But today it seems that this is not the case.
But on second thought, there was nothing unusual between her and Jiang Nan.
"I think Gu Yu didn't want her parents to worry, so she didn't show it in front of you. She was also very silent during the meal, which is her normal behavior. But when she saw Jiang Nan before entering the hotel, she behaved obviously wrong."
At that time, Gu's father and mother were walking in front, while Yu Yao and Yu Yu's attention was on the people behind them. Jiang Nan appeared suddenly, so it was understandable that Gu Yu was a little slow to react.
"Now that you mention it, there were some signs. She was in a good mood during the days when Jiang Nan was with her. I thought she just liked practicing those things, but now it seems that she was already thinking about it at that time."
Yu Yao guessed so too.
"Besides her mother's affairs, is there anything else inappropriate in her family?"
The most important thing is that Ayu looked so sad that day, maybe they were not interested in each other.
If Ayu's confession really failed, it means that the other person is indeed not bad. Ayu's conditions should be considered good in the entire family compound, and her family is not bad either. Being with Ayu will definitely help his future, but he refused.
"That kid Jiang Nan..." Zeng Yue sighed, "He injured his leg while on a mission a few months ago, and he's going to quit his job soon."
"Is it that serious?"
