Chapter 278: Anyone who takes a passenger ship to the Sea Island for the first time will be shocked

After dinner at her granddaughter's in-laws, Elder Gu followed his grandson and granddaughter-in-law home.

For some reason, he didn't feel any joy about the child in his granddaughter-in-law's belly.

The granddaughter-in-law in front of him had a family background, appearance, conditions, and speech that were clearly much better than the previous granddaughter-in-law.

But he felt that the other party was like wearing an exquisite mask and wasn't smiling from the heart.

"Grandfather, I'll go tidy up the guest bedroom for you. Please wait a moment."

Ye Mei Qin showed a gentle smile, the kind that elders would like.

But this charm failed in front of the old man.

"No need. You are also about to give birth; don't overwork yourself. I'll let Tingchen help tidy up. You go back to your room and rest; don't get tired."

Elder Gu showed a gentle smile and politely declined the other party's kindness.

He wasn't an old man who loved to pick faults. The granddaughter-in-law was his grandson's wife. Although he was a bit repulsed, he wouldn't show any trace of it on his face.

"Meiqin, go back to your room. Grandfather is feeling sorry for you and is ordering me around."

Gu Tingchen had grown up by his grandfather's side since he was a child and was familiar with every micro-expression of his grandfather.

Grandfather didn't like his current wife; he was polite and distant.

Although he didn't know why, he was very satisfied with his current wife, so he took the initiative to dispel his wife's concerns.

Because his wife was actually very sensitive and smart.

Both were the most important people in his life, and he didn't want to see them turn against each other.

A flash of displeasure crossed Ye Mei Qin's heart, but she responded gently:

"Alright, then I'll go back to my room first."

Gu Tingchen turned on the light in the second bedroom, then helped his grandfather into the room and closed the door.

"Grandfather, you don't seem to like Meiqin very much?"

"It doesn't matter if you see it. I don't know why, but when I see this girl, I feel like there's no eye contact."

"Maybe we haven't spent much time together. Grandfather, why don't you stay here and retire? My sister and I are both in the family quarters, so you can see us anytime..."

"No, no, I... I still have things to do; I have to go back to the Northeast."

After sitting down, Elder Gu waved his hand and politely declined his grandson's kindness.

He had a premonition that it was time for him to go.

Before leaving, seeing his grandson, granddaughter, and his little great-grandson was enough; he had no regrets.

"Grandfather!"

"Let's not talk about this first. You always report that you are safe in your telegrams. Are you really safe?"

"Mm, everything is going well. The Ye family and the Liu family are both contributing money and effort. Next year, when Bureau Chief Liu retires, the position will most likely fall to me..."

"Good. With your in-laws and your sister's in-laws helping you, your official career can go further. In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. You must take care of yourself and revitalize our Gu family."

"Grandfather, don't worry. I will definitely revitalize our Gu family and won't let you down!"

While Elder Gu was gratified, he still felt a bit uneasy.

But he was old and didn't have the ability to lift his grandson up anymore.

In the future, his grandson would really have to fight alone and rely on himself...

"I'll catch the train tomorrow and have to go back. You are the older brother; you must treat Yinyin well in the future. Yinyin did it for you, for our Gu family..."

"Yes, Grandfather, I swear I will protect Yinyin well, let her live a worry-free life for the rest of her days. From now on, as long as I have a bite to eat, Yinyin won't have less..."

The last heart-to-heart talk between the grandfather and grandson came to an end.

Later, no matter how well Gu Tingchen lived, he never treated his sister Gu Yinyin badly, and he lifted up her children even better than his "own" children.

He was a very well-reputed uncle and Gu Yinyin's backer...

"Wuwa—"

Anyone who takes a passenger ship to the Sea Island for the first time will be shocked.

In front of the vast ocean, the passenger ship looked so small.

Nature was truly a master of craftsmanship; before reaching the Sea Island, one actually had to sit on a passenger ship for more than half an hour!

Wang Mingkui's eldest niece, Wang Amei, combed a black and thick braid to her waist, looking at the attractions outside the window with a cautious and curious expression.

Her parents said that after she arrived on the Sea Island, she should listen to everything her aunt arranged.

Her aunt was her closest person and wouldn't harm her.

If she didn't find a partner this time, she would stay and help her aunt take care of the children, and let her aunt and uncle think of a way for her next year.

Her parents said this was her only chance to change her destiny.

Her aunt hadn't been home for several years, and at first, she was a bit unfamiliar.

But as her aunt hugged her enthusiastically and took her to the state-run restaurant for a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, her sense of estrangement from her aunt disappeared.

Perhaps between relatives, it was just like this; she could feel the goodwill. Her aunt truly welcomed her, and for her, who was uneasy, that was enough.

"Amei, are you dizzy? Do you want to vomit?"

From Wang Mingkui's perspective, her eldest niece's skin was a bit tanned, but her features had opened up a lot, like her sister-in-law, and fortunately, she didn't look like her brother, who was big and rough.

Her clothes and shoes were washed white; she was very simple.

It didn't matter; when she got to her, she would dress her niece up, teach her some principles of conduct, and broaden her horizons.

Actually, she thought about it and felt that it would be enough for her niece to watch the fun at this matchmaking conference. If there wasn't anyone particularly suitable, she wouldn't be in a hurry and would look again next year.

Selfishly, she thought, her eldest niece was one of her own; it would be better to raise her by her side for another year and teach her more things.

In the rural hometown, elders educated girls to be obedient, to take care of men like old mothers, and to take care of the men's family members.

This kind of thinking wasn't to say it was wrong to beat it to death with a stick, but it was definitely not a very good idea.

When she was a girl, she was tortured and educated, and then she did one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes; she just wouldn't be disciplined.

Others laughed at her, saying that the Wang family had produced a rebellious girl who wouldn't marry well in the future.

Look, how sharp her vision was; she picked her husband.

Now her life was the best, wasn't it?

The experience of the older generation wasn't necessarily all correct; you just had to pick what you could listen to, and let what you couldn't listen to go in one ear and out the other!

"I'm not uncomfortable, Aunt. I have plums in my bag. If you are seasick, should I take one for you to hold?"

Wang Amei shook her head; she wasn't uncomfortable. She carried water, cut pig grass, climbed trees in the mountains, and caught fish in the water; she knew a little bit of everything.

"I'm not seasick. Keep your things well; don't take them out. Your two cousins are more greedy than the other..."

Wang Mingkui felt comforted; look, girls are more thoughtful.

Thinking of her two stinky boys, she wanted to complain.

Fortunately, the third child was a girl, which sealed her belly.

Her husband said he would take time to have a vasectomy; it was said to be very fast and wouldn't hurt a woman's body, so he would do it.

As for who she heard it from, oh, who did she hear it from?

Did any of her husband's friends do it? ===== CHAPTER 279 =====

Which friend of her husband's did it?
