Chapter 84: The man with the poisonous tongue

"Eldest Sister has successfully separated from the family, congratulations." Lin Zhao was happy for Eldest Sister-in-law, "When did you separate?"

Gu Chan felt a warmth in her heart and smiled: "The night you and the First and Second Cubs came over, we only moved yesterday."

"Why didn't you call us to help when you moved?" Gu Mu said unhappily.

Wei Xiangdong relieved his wife: "There weren't many things, I found two people to help."

With the son-in-law speaking, the mother-in-law couldn't say much more, secretly glaring at her daughter, annoyed that she didn't take her maiden home seriously.

Was that just helping?

Her maiden home coming over was to support the daughter who had married out!

Gu Chan felt guilty and hurriedly lowered her head, the little person in her heart sticking out her tongue.

She knew her mother was doing it for her own good, but she was busy pasting matchboxes, so she hadn't come back.

"Where are you living after moving out?" Gu Mu asked.

Gu Chan's whole face lit up, her tone light, "The old house at the entrance of the village, it can be lived in after repairs, there are several rooms, Xiangdong and I are very satisfied."

Wei Xiangdong nodded.

He didn't have to squeeze into a room with two cold stones, he was satisfied, very satisfied.

As for being scratched and clawed by his wife again last night for having too much fire, he had long forgotten it.

With solid benefits, what did it matter if he was scolded a few times? Fighting is kissing, scolding is loving.

The man stretched out his arm to take the enamel mug, his back feeling a burning sensation, and he frowned uncomfortably.

Tsk, A-Chan's fingertips really need to be trimmed, he'll sharpen the scissors when he gets back!

"How much money did it cost?" Gu Mu continued to ask.

"It cost 120." Speaking of the money spent, Gu Chan felt a pang of heartache; that was saved cent by cent.

However.

Thinking that she finally had her own little nest and would never have to look at Wei Eldest Sister-in-law's disgusting face again, that heartache turned into honey, seeping into her heart bit by bit.

Family is important!

As for money, she'll save it slowly.

"This price isn't expensive." A mountain in Gu Mu's heart was moved away, her face full of smiles.

Separating is good, life is comfortable after separating.

Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang were envious in their hearts.

Which daughter-in-law didn't want to separate and live on her own? Of course they wanted to.

Turning to think that the troublemaking younger sister-in-law had been kicked out of the house, and they could also benefit from the things the Third couple showed filial piety to the parents-in-law, the sisters-in-law felt that their lives were not bad, and their mentality returned to peace.

"Mom, how are you, is your injury healed?" Gu Chan asked with concern.

"Healed, healed, I can go down to the fields to earn work points soon." Gu Mu had rested for several days and felt uncomfortable all over, looking forward to her injury healing every day, applying medicine very actively.

"Wait until you're fully healed before going." Gu Chan was worried that her mother was too reckless, her brows furrowed with worry.

"Can I not know? Your dad is watching me." Gu Mu said irritably.

A hint of fire overflowed in her words.

It was easy to see she had been stifled at home!

Gu Chan smiled awkwardly, not daring to touch her bad temper again.

They chatted for a long time.

Gu Mu took the opportunity to return to the room, packed some brown sugar, biscuits, canned food, etc., that the Third couple had shown filial piety with, and brought them out of the courtyard.

In front of the three daughters-in-law, she handed them to her daughter.

Open and aboveboard.

"Take them back for the two Stones to eat. When you have time, bring them back, I, the grandmother, haven't seen my grandsons for several months, and I don't know if they've grown taller."

Without waiting for Gu Chan to speak, she continued without leaving a gap: "Since you've separated, live a good life in the future, let the children eat their fill, and find someone to send us a message if anything happens."

Lin Zhao's expression remained unchanged.

Still the same sentence, she didn't care how they handled the things she gave away.

Gu Mu observed the Third Daughter-in-law's expression from the corner of her eye, thinking that if the First Cub's mother was unhappy, she would immediately say a few words back.

It was rare for the Third to come back, and she didn't want to see the couple arguing.

Finding that Lin Zhao's face didn't change, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chan knew that her parents' things were all sent by her Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, so she pushed them away: "I don't want them! The family isn't short of anything. Xiangdong and I have hands and feet, we can raise the two Stones. These good things, Mom and Dad, you eat them."

"They are for my two grandsons, you take them!" Gu Mu's face sank, "You separated and moved, the family didn't help, take these things back, otherwise take back the eggs and meat you brought, and don't come back in the future!"

Since she had said it to this point, how could Gu Chan dare to refuse.

She looked at her sisters-in-law and sister-in-law with shame, her face blushing with embarrassment.

"Eldest Sister, just take them, moving is a good thing, it should be celebrated." Lin Zhao eased the atmosphere.

Only she was suitable to say this.

Zhao Liuniang smiled, her words crisp and neat, "It should be taken, logically speaking, we should also prepare something, but, look, the news is too sudden, we didn't prepare anything, don't blame us for not being able to take anything out."

"Don't blame, don't blame, I didn't intend to trouble you in the first place." Gu Chan hurriedly waved her hand and said again: "No need, no need, the family isn't short of anything."

Huang Xiulan asked with a smile: "Not short of anything? What about the pot for cooking?"

Gu Chan smiled helplessly.

"Short."

Why else would they rarely separate? One family had one pot, and after separating, they couldn't even cook.

Huang Xiulan looked at Lin Zhao, "Third Sister-in-law, you are a city person, if you happen to come across a pot, trouble you to keep it, the three families will share the cost, and add a pot for A-Chan."

She said this generously, and Gu Yuanshan felt proud looking at his wife's face.

Look, this is the Eldest Sister-in-law, she really gave him face.

Lin Zhao recalled that she had drawn a double-eared iron pot, and immediately said: "I have a pot, a double-eared iron pot, give it to Eldest Sister."

"We'll split the money." Huang Xiulan thought to herself that this was a coincidence, and said deliberately: "You can't let all the limelight be yours!"

"No need, Xiangdong has asked someone to help." Gu Chan didn't want to trouble her maiden family, a pot cost more than ten yuan, and it would cost several yuan for each family, calculated by work points, it would be hard work for more than half a month.

"Don't talk, it's none of your business." Zhao Liuniang interrupted her, saying strangely: "It's stupid to push away a pot picked up for nothing."

"Hurry up and agree before I feel the heartache!" She urged with her mouth, her face full of heartache.

Gu Chan was confused.

Lin Zhao leaned on Gu Chenghuai's shoulder and laughed, his warm palm patting her back lightly.

Not far away, the whip in Gu Yucheng's hand made a "pa" sound, breaking the air.

The whip tip broke the air and landed on the spinning top, and the spinning top rotated rapidly.

"Wow, Gu Gu Ershu is great!!"

"Gu Gu Ershu is amazing!!"

The children's exclamations and laughter rose one after another.

Gu Yucheng sank deeper and deeper amidst the praise.

The laughter was loud enough to lift the courtyard.

Even though the oldest child was already twelve, they still played like wild boys.

He didn't ignore the situation on Gu Chan's side either, and said loudly: "A-Chan, listen to your Gu Gu Ersao, it's rare for her to be so generous, you're stupid if you don't pluck a handful."

He also said to Wei Xiangdong: "Xiangdong, you are a smart person, don't be as stupid as A-Chan. One family doesn't speak of two families."

How could a few yuan be more important than blood kinship.

A-Chan didn't take much advantage of her maiden home either, she never came back empty-handed.

Wei Xiangdong stood up, his voice loud, "I listen to Dad."

After the words fell.

He ran over to grab the whip from his Second Brother-in-law, wanting to play with the spinning top too.

He knew how to play.

One whip down.

The wooden spinning top seemed to be injected with life, its rotation speed increased, blurring into a phantom in the high-speed rotation, the colorful pigments melting into one, like seven-colored flowing clouds.

It soared into the air, half a foot off the ground, paused slightly at the highest point, and then smashed back to the ground heavily—

"Dong!"

Dust flew.

The spinning top was still spinning wildly on the ground.

"Wow!!" The little friend was shocked to the point of holding his chin.

The Hearing Hearing Erzai didn't stand on ceremony, hanging on his Eldest Brother-in-law, saying repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, teach me, teach me, I want to learn!!"

Tie Chui said foolishly: "Gu Gu Ershu isn't as great as Brother-in-law."

Gu Yucheng: "..."

The First Cub nudged Tie Chui with his arm, reminding him in a low voice: "Tie Chui, you can't say that, adults all love face."

Tie Chui listened to the advice and changed his words immediately: "Gu Gu Ershu, you are also great."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yucheng, nodded heavily, and gave him an approving look.

"..." The "wow wow" praise just now seemed like a dream to Gu Yucheng.

Praising without much heart. Tie Chui pulled the First Cub, excitedly surrounding Wei Xiangdong, spitting out "wow" one after another.

Wei Xiangdong took the opportunity to look at his Second Brother-in-law and shrugged.

No way, strength.

Gu Yucheng ground his teeth.

Stone's dad was childish to the point of being unwatchable, and Gu Chan covered her face secretly.

She wiped her face heavily from top to bottom, rubbing away the complex emotions on her face, looked at her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law, Gu Gu Ersao, and thank you, Zhao Zhao."

Huang Xiulan had a straightforward personality and smiled: "What are you thanking for, we are all one family."

"I, your Gu Gu Ersao, am diligent and frugal, it has nothing to do with being stingy, don't listen to your Second Brother's nonsense, ruining my reputation." Zhao Liuniang didn't forget to save her reputation.

Lin Zhao held back her laughter.

If she didn't really know her sister-in-law's personality, she would have believed it!

Gu Chan also knew what her own sister-in-law's personality was like; she rarely was willing to take out things that entered her pocket, and when asked, she would say it was to save a dowry for Yu Yu.

Gu Chan was very surprised that her Gu Gu Ersao was willing to spend money to add a pot for her.

Hearing Zhao Liuniang's words, she shook her head like a rattle-drum, "Not stingy, very generous, which sister-in-law is so generous, adding a pot for an eldest sister-in-law who has been married out for several years."

Zhao Liuniang was very happy to be flattered.

Glancing at the fine lines at the corners of her Gu Gu Ersao's eyes, which were filled with happy smiles, Gu Chan said a few more pleasant soft words.

"My Second Brother's eyes were covered by paste, he couldn't see Gu Gu Ersao's goodness, it was his eyes that were bad, Gu Gu Ersao don't bicker with him, Mom sees it all, she will teach him well."

Of course, Gu Chan knew her Second Brother was joking.

Lin Zhao turned her face toward Gu Chenghuai, holding back her laughter.

It was hard for Eldest Sister-in-law, she wasn't good with words, yet she had to work hard to praise her Gu Gu Ersao.

Speaking of which, not counting the children, this Gu family, except for Gu Yucheng, were all the silent type.

Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao, smiled helplessly, and behind the family's back, moved his hand quietly to hold hers, holding that soft, boneless hand in his palm.

Gu Chan's couple didn't stay long, and after another twenty minutes or so, the two said goodbye and left.

Before they left, Seeing Gu Fu took a flashlight out of the room.

"Take the flashlight, be careful on the road."

Gu Chan looked at the flashlight curiously and asked: "Dad has a flashlight? Chenghuai gave it to you?"

"That's right." Seeing Gu Fu was quite proud.

His son was promising.

Gu Chan laughed secretly.

"Xiangdong and I can see the road, no need..."

Before she finished speaking, a flashlight was stuffed into her hand.

"Take it, it's not a free gift, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you for free, take it when you come back next time." Seeing Gu Fu said.

If this weren't his own daughter, he wouldn't even be willing to lend it.

The flashlight his son gave him, he treasured it, touching it several times before he could fall asleep.

"... Okay." Gu Chan responded.

Lin Zhao returned to the room, and when she came out, she carried a cloth bag in her left hand and a pot in her right hand.

After coming out, she gave the things to Eldest Sister-in-law.

Not wanting to listen to her being polite, she turned and returned to the room.

Gu Chenghuai looked at that slender and crisp back, a smile like the spring breeze of March blooming in his eyes, withdrawing his gaze in an instant, looking at Gu Chan, and explaining for his wife: "Sister, Zhao Zhao doesn't like to push back and forth with people."

"I know." Gu Chan's face was full of emotion.

"Thank Zhao Zhao for me."

After that, the couple left.

Wei Xiangdong only left the flashlight in his wife's hand, carrying the other things himself.

It was hot in the room, and it wasn't time to sleep yet, so many people were blowing the wind at the door, chatting in groups of two or three.

After Lin Zhao became a salesperson, the gossip about her in the village decreased sharply.

Even if there was any, it was all praise.

The four words "human feelings and sophistication" were grasped firmly by them.

Then.

Su Yuxian became the focus of public opinion.

Look, five or six aunts were gathered in a circle, talking noisily.

"I heard Yizhou's wife hit Baozhen, and Baozhen cried and wanted her dad."

"I heard it too, what exactly is going on? I remember before they were married, Yuxian was quite good to that child Baozhen, saying she was obedient to everyone she met! This, it hasn't been a month since she married over, why did she start hitting the child? The two people in the Lu family don't care?"

"Care about what! The Lu family's money hasn't been found, the two people are like they lost their souls, I called them several times this afternoon, and neither of them responded."

"Sigh." Another aunt sighed first, saying with heartache: "I heard more than a thousand yuan was lost, even if Yizhou saved it, it would take two years, I don't blame them for not being able to get over it, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to get over it either."

So much money, it hurts just thinking about it.

"Life still has to go on, it's best to think it through early."

"Isn't it talking about Yizhou's wife, why did she hit Baozhen?" There were always people listening to gossip seriously.

"I know, I know." The Lu family's neighbor said, "It seems Yizhou's family just finished washing clothes, and Baozhen knocked them to the ground. Yizhou's wife saw it and was angry, grabbed Baozhen's ears and started hitting the child, hitting her until she cried loudly, saying over and over that she was a bad stepmother, I want to find my dad, let my dad beat you to death..."

"Baozhen is only four years old, Yizhou's wife is a bit ruthless." A woman who rarely hit children commented.

"I think she should be hit, children won't become useful without being hit. Washing clothes is also hard work, tiring. She knocked them to the ground, it wouldn't be right not to hit her." The person speaking inserted an awl into the sole of the shoe, pulled out the thread, her words light.

"But she hit too hard." The Lu family's neighbor muttered, "Yizhou's family hit her heavily, at least five minutes. If it were her own, how could she bear it?"

Another person said: "If Yizhou's former one knew, she would be heartbroken to death."

The child she gave birth to with her life.

Just as they were talking, they saw two figures walking from the front.

Looking closely, it was Gu family's A-Chan, and that man of hers with the poisonous tongue.

Everyone knew Wei Xiangdong was not to be trifled with, so they only greeted him politely and didn't dare to ask more.

When those two figures disappeared, the topic of the conversation naturally became them.

"Did you see? The new pot in A-Chan's man's hand."

"We aren't blind. The Gu family is quite good to the daughter who married out, even willing to give a new pot."

"Chenghuai's family got it, right?"

"Besides her, who else has this ability."

"Looking at those big bags and small bags, I said, A-Chan is much smarter than Xing'er, building a good relationship with the Third Room, what good things can't you get?" This sentence was almost explicitly saying that Gu Chan helping the Gu family's Third Room was to plot benefits.

Wang Chunhua thought this was biased and couldn't help but say: "A-Chan isn't that kind of person, she didn't get any benefits in the past few years, didn't she also help her Third Brother's family."

That person lowered her head and didn't speak again.

Gu family.

The adults all returned to their rooms, and the children were still making a scene in the courtyard.

Lin Zhao sat on the chair with a backrest in front of the desk, her arms resting on the desk casually, feeling as if she had forgotten something.

Gu Chenghuai's tall body leaned against the door, his deep eyes falling on his wife, his gaze gentle and smiling, love flowing.

"What are you thinking about? So seriously." ===== CHAPTER 85 =====

Lin Zhao sat on the chair with a backrest in front of the desk, her arms resting casually on the desk, feeling as if she had forgotten something.

Gu Chenghuai's tall body leaned against the doorway, his deep eyes resting on his wife, his gaze warm and smiling, love flowing through them.

"What are you thinking about? So serious."
