"Just like you, I just returned to Beijing." Gu Xingzhou pulled Yang Mumu in front of him and introduced her, "Dad, this is my wife. We have already obtained the marriage certificate and held a wedding banquet in Haha Brigade. Now I bring her back to see you."
"Hello uncle, my name is Yang Mumu, you can just call me Mumu!"
Yang Mumu walked forward with a smile on her face and called out to people.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. After all, they are your elders, so you should still treat them with the proper decency and respect. The most important thing is to be polite before you start to cause trouble.
She took out a bag of dried mushrooms and a leg of wild goat ham from the sack and handed them to Wu Haiyang.
"This is what Xingzhou and I got from the mountains when we had some free time to rest in the countryside. I brought it back for you to taste. I hope you don't mind."
Gu Xiaoshan frowned slightly.
Gu Xingzhou was staring at him and was about to snatch the thing back, but Gu Xiaoshan reached out to take the thing, took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it over.
"You should call me dad. This is the fee for changing your name."
Gu Xingzhou raised his hand halfway and then put it down again. A smile appeared on his face and he glanced at Yang Mumu, signaling her to accept the red envelope quickly and not to miss it.
Gou Lijuan, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the red envelope in his hand, which was about five to six or seven centimeters thick. Her eyes turned red and she stared at the red envelope. She was so jealous that she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to. She just stared at him with a pair of red eyes, which were about to bulge out.
Yang Mumu noticed the appearance of the person on the ground, and her smile became even brighter. She immediately reached out and put the thick red envelope into her pocket, and without any embarrassment, she changed her words and called out "someone".
"Thanks, Dad."
“Yes.” Gu Qingshan nodded, walked to the sofa, pointed to the sofa next to him, “Sit here, everything is up to you now that you are home, Haiyang, you sit too.”
"Thank you, uncle. You sit down too." Wu Haiyang nodded timidly. He had been afraid of Uncle Gu since he was a child. Now that he has grown up, he feels better, but still gets nervous and stands instead of sitting.
"Okay," Yang Mumu saw that the elder sat down and was very familiar with him, so he pulled out the sack and started to work again, "We also brought you some honeysuckle picked from the mountain, soak it in water and drink it to relieve internal heat, you can try it, it tastes pretty good."
"Okay, I'll try it then."
Gu Qingshan had a faint smile on his face, and he was actually very happy in his heart. He then looked at the bag of honeysuckle again and again, and then handed it to Gu Xingzhou who was standing next to him.
"Go get some water for your wife and Haiyang. Why are you standing here like an idiot? And by the way, make some honeysuckle that Mumu brought. Go quickly."
Gu Xingzhou looked at Gu Xiaoshan in surprise. He felt that his father was much kinder to him this time when he came back. He was not as harsh and critical as he was when they met before. Well, it was better for him to get married. His father became much better after he got married.
It should be convenient to collect the debt from Gou Lijuan later.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Gu Xingzhou happily ran to the kitchen to pour water and kept putting honeysuckle into the kettle.
Add more honeysuckle to reduce the heat, it will rise again in a while, so add some more!
Then, he took four cups back and poured a glass of water for each person.
"It's really good, thank you Mumu."
"No, if you like it, we'll pick some for you in the summer. I got some honeysuckle seeds to plant."
Yang Mumu started chatting with the old man and felt that he was okay, that is, he looked serious, but he was not serious with her. But why was he so impatient with Xingzhou?
She thought this might be due to the lack of communication between father and son.
As for Gou Lijuan, who was lying on the ground, no one cared whether she lived or died. She just lay there angry on her own.
Only the onlookers outside cared about it and discussed it in confusion.
"Hey, why didn't I hear any loud noises? Even Gou Lijuan's crying at the beginning was gone. What's going on? Could it be that Gu Xingzhou is going to endure it again? It doesn't seem like he was scolding you two young people just now. His wife doesn't look like someone who would swallow her anger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard crying and shouting in the room. From the voice, he knew it was Gou Lijuan crying again.
"Hey, got it, got it, time to work!"
The people outside the house were very excited when they heard it and listened carefully with their ears pricked up.
In the room, Gou Lijuan couldn't stand the family next door chatting animatedly and completely ignoring her, making her seem like an outsider. She felt very unhappy and full of a sense of crisis.
So, she started sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling at the top of her lungs to attract Gu Xiaoshan's attention.
"Xiao Shan, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I didn't think things through this time. I didn't know Xing Zhou had someone he liked, and they were married. He didn't tell us either."
"I mean well. You know the Xu family's conditions are excellent, and they are a good match for ours. It will also be good for Xingzhou's future. What's more, the girl from the Xu family likes Xingzhou so much, and can give Xingzhou a good future if he returns to the city. That's why I made such a joke. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Gou Lijuan tried to clear herself of the charges, saying that it was the younger generation who didn't know etiquette and didn't tell their families about their wedding, in an attempt to divert Gu Qingshan's anger away.
But Gu Qingshan remained indifferent and just drank the honeysuckle tea in his hand frantically to cool down his fever.
Gou Lijuan was unsure and scared when she saw this. She turned around and gave Gu Xingzhou a stealthy look with threats in her eyes.
Gu Xingzhou understood what she meant. Wasn't she saying, "Help me speak up quickly, or I won't return the relics to you." He understood what she meant because she had used this look to threaten him before.
In the past, he was bored and played with her, but now, he just wants to make his wife laugh. It's time to collect the debt.
"Auntie, stop twitching your eyes and stop threatening me. I sent a letter home when I got married. It was you who sold me to Xu Hongxia as her husband for the sake of those two children and rushed over to threaten me. Don't act like you're noble and innocent. This is all your fault."
Gu Xingzhou raised his voice and retorted without mercy. He reached into his pocket and squeezed a crushed chili pepper, then rubbed his eyes. He turned around with red eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoshan to complain, his voice tinged with tears.
"Dad, everything that's been spread outside is true, and there's something even more hateful. She stole everything my mom left me, and threatened me with my mom's belongings, saying that she wouldn't give them to me if I didn't do what she said. Didn't you keep asking me why I had to go to the countryside? She forced me to go to the countryside, and she wanted me to make room for her two children's future. I won't tell you about her abuse of me in the past."
Gu Xingzhou touched his eyes again, tears streaming down his face.
The crying child gets the milk. If someone who didn’t know how to cry before suddenly starts crying, the effect will be even better. Look, even Dad Gu is moved now.
Gu Xiaoshan felt a little overwhelmed, and more of it was heartache and self-blame.
I have never seen this child cry. He used to be stubborn and always talked back, but now he actually told me his story. How much injustice must he have suffered to become like this?
Yang Mumu saw this and secretly laughed in her heart, then immediately got into the role, her voice full of heartache.
"Xingzhou, we have to say this. If you don't say it, I will. I feel sorry for you."
