Chapter 310 Gu Guoqiang's Gossip
Chapter 310 Gu Guoqiang's Gossip
In the evening, my sister-in-law cooked a large table of dishes.
Gu Mingyue brought over a roast goose, a barbecued pork, some fruits and chicken biscuits.
Except for pastries, the other two kinds of meat are sweet in taste. Except for Gu Mingyue who loves sweet, no one in the family can get used to eating them.
Seeing that only Guanglei was at the table, Liu Caixia sighed, "It's noisy with too many children, but now they don't come back, it's too quiet."
Gu Mingyue joked, "Then ask Guangliang and Guangsheng to send their child back, and you take care of him for two days. I guarantee you will get bored in less than a day."
Liu Caixia glared at her and said, "I don't want to be that evil mother-in-law who separates children from their parents. If I really do that, I don't know how much blame I will get. They can come back or not if they want."
"Sister-in-law, you are just being stubborn. But if you want a child, there is a way. Bring Yuanyuan home. Sister Bai will be very happy."
Speaking of this, Liu Caixia couldn't help but tease, "That little girl is incredible. Her little mouth is always as sweet as honey, and she is so eager to tell you something. I think Shaoling is so confused by her every day. She is a smart person and will definitely be hard to fool in the future."
Uncle Gu spoke up to defend her, "Girls should be smart and not suffer losses, otherwise they will be bullied."
Liu Caixia knew what was going on. She told Gu Mingyue, "Once, Dad was pestered by a widow in the village. She insisted on giving Dad a pair of insoles. Dad naturally refused to accept them, but it was difficult to stuff them back for fear of being blamed. During the conversation, Yuanyuan came over and saw it. Guess what she said?"
"What do you say?"
"She went up and took the insole in her hand, and said to the owner: 'Grandma, Grandpa doesn't like my insole, but I do. I think I can change it to two sizes so that I can wear them alternately. But you need to practice your stitching. My skin is delicate and the threads will hurt my feet easily. That's it. I'll ask my mom to send the money to you tomorrow.'"
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Liu Caixia imitating Liang Yuanyuan's tone of voice.
Gu Mingwei asked in confusion, "Why don't I know about this?"
Liu Caixia explained, "Dad thought it was embarrassing and didn't let me talk about it. This is not a cliché. I'm going to say it again. Dad didn't let me come to her house, otherwise I would definitely tear her face off. Who can't see her evil intentions?"
Gu Mingyue asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, which family are you talking about?"
"It was the widow Guo who moved in later. Her son wanted to avoid eating swan meat, but you and Dama scared him so much that he peed his pants pocket in public."
Gu Mingyue suddenly realized that there was a young man who was stuck in traffic all day long. He was either sending wild flowers to the roadside or reciting some weird and sour poems with his head that looked like it had been licked by a cow.
The other party graduated from high school and is the only widow in her family.
I heard that the widow Guo was able to survive the famine and stay alive until now because of her affair with various men. As a result, she is very famous in the neighborhood, but she has a very bad reputation.
If it weren't for the pity for the mother and son, they would have been reported eight hundred times.
However, no matter how fierce the fight is or how harsh the insults are, the families in the countryside are almost all related, so it is rare for them to completely fall out. They meet each other every day, and there are only a few people who are truly bad to the core.
Since moving to Gujia Village, Widow Guo saw that the villagers were well off and wanted to go back to her old job. However, she didn't expect that no one here would look down on her.
It must be said that in recent years, everyone's life has been good and their ideological level has also improved.
Literacy classes in the village have never stopped. Even though everyone can read, the village office still arranges for everyone to read newspapers and news from time to time, so that they can learn more about changes in the outside world.
To put it bluntly, the men in Gujia Village are experienced and difficult to deceive.
After a bad start, Widow Guo had to settle for the second best and look for someone older. However, she had high standards and wanted to marry someone who was more upscale. She thought that this way she would not be looked down upon in the village, so she set her sights on Uncle Gu.
Gu Guoqiang felt uncomfortable gossiping about himself in front of his children. He had almost finished his meal, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up, pretending to be calm. "Ahem, there's still some work to be done in the workshop. I have to go take a look. You guys eat first."
After everyone left, Liu Caixia smiled secretly and said, "I'm sorry, father-in-law."
Gu Mingwei knew his father well, and said, "It's just one aspect. Dad probably remembered those things in the past. I also heard from the old people in the village that there was an orphan and a widow here in the early years. Although the village took special care of them, at that time, everyone's life was not easy, and no one could help much, and life was stretched to the limit. As a last resort, the woman left her son with a relative, and she ran directly to the county. At that time, the brothel had not been closed yet... From then on, the mother and son lived a good life, and the gossip that followed also increased. But such a woman, when she accidentally heard the traitor say that he was going to the village when she took a job, she desperately sent the news out, and the villagers escaped a disaster, but the woman never came back. Unfortunately, her son also died of illness later. My father always felt that it was because he did not take good care of him that he could not even save the other party's only son..."
Liu Caixia suddenly said, "I thought, according to Dad's character, even if he doesn't scold the other party, he will make you do heavy work as a punishment. But this time, Yuanyuan helped him out, and the matter was left unresolved."
Gu Mingyue guessed, "Maybe uncle felt that unless they were forced to do so, no one would not want to live a decent life, so he decided to turn a blind eye."
Liu Caixia said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to help her. But Widow Guo can't even work in the fields, and her hands are not good at work. The stitches are comparable to yours. It's really disgusting."
"Sister-in-law, let's talk about serious matters. Why do you always compare me? Besides, I'm not that bad."
"Fortunately you have a sewing machine, otherwise, you would be one of the people Yuanyuan said had their feet hurt by sewing."
Gu Mingyue said proudly, "I'm leaving a way out for others. If I can do everything, wouldn't it make me look too good?"
Liu Caixia couldn't help but sneer, "Well, I finally know who Liang Yuanyuan inherited her narcissism from."
Guanglei couldn't help laughing, "Aunt, you and Aunt Fenglai said exactly the same thing."
Gu Mingyue raised her hand and threatened, "I see you've become more and more naughty recently, are you looking for a beating?"
"Aunt, I was wrong." Guanglei admitted his mistake, but his expression was like a cat that had stolen some fish, and his eyes were full of laughter.
Li Xiuhe came in with a sliced mango and said, "Have some fruit."
"Second Aunt, you are really my savior."
Hearing Guanglei's words, Li Xiuhe laughed and said, "Your aunt only scares you. Have you ever seen her take action?"
After a while, Gu Mingzhong said, "Widow Guo's son should be taking the college entrance examination."
Gu Mingyue asked suspiciously, "Second brother, did you see it wrong? The village organized everyone to review together before, but Wang Qiang was not included."
Gu Mingzhong was very sure, "No, I went to town to deliver furniture the other day and saw him queuing up in front of the bookstore to grab exercise books. If he didn't take the college entrance examination, why would he buy materials? If he resold them, he wouldn't be able to sell them at a high price."
Gu Mingwei gave the answer, "I guess, he probably offended Mingyue before, and was afraid that the villagers would make things difficult for him, so he had to find a way out on his own."
