After the meal, Zhou Ying made them a pot of tea and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
“You’ve been in contact with the refugees for quite some time. What do you think of Hu Chun?” Father Gu asked.
“In what aspect?” Gu Chengrui asked, surprised by the sudden question.
“Both. Tell me the details.”
“He’s not bad; he’s bold but meticulous, aggressive, and knows when to advance and when to retreat. Fie also has a wide range of knowledge.
“He’s handsome and tall and looks like a good man at the moment.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he thought of the wound on his father’s face and asked, “You can’t be thinking of marrying my fifth sister to him, right?”
“Cough, 1 did have this idea, but Mrs. Liu disdained their family for being poor and didn’t agree to this marriage.
“She didn’t even consider our family’s current status as criminals.
“As long as the groom’s family’s condition is decent, how many would be willing to marry her?”
Gu Chengrui looked at him in surprise. To be honest, he was pretty impressed with his line of thought. Hu Chun was skilled in both literature and martial arts. If he had the chance, he would definitely be able to achieve something.
“What do the other people in the family think?” he asked.
“Your grandma and your Second Uncle both agree with me.
“Chengzhi and Chengye didn’t object, either.
“It’s just that Mrs. Liu refused to agree no matter what and insisted that I wanted to harm Zishan.
“She’s my biological daughter, so why would I…” When Father Gu said this, he remembered how he had kicked the couple out of the house and suddenly reddened.
Gu Chengrui understood what he meant. However, the damage had already been done, and he didn’t want to hear his repentance. Hence, he changed the topic. “What about Zishan? Doesn’t this depend on her opinion?”
“What does she know? As long as we adults make the decision, it’s fine.”
“It’s a major event in her life. It’s better to ask her about it so there won’t be a knot in her heart in the future.”
“That’s true. I’ll ask her for her opinion later.” Father Gu nodded.
After chatting for a while, the sky outside got completely dark. After Father Gu asked about how to make the vermicelli, he got up and went home.
After Zhou Ying learned the whole story, she shook her head and said, “What a huge difference between a child with a mother and a child without one. I feel so sorry for our original selves.”
“Indeed, in ancient times, although it was said that the mother would be prosperous because of their son, in most cases, it’s the other way around.
“But this has nothing to do with us. We’ll try not to get involved in the matters over there and just focus on living our own lives.”
On the other side, after Father Gu returned home, he saw the crowd waiting for him to eat and Mrs. Liu kneeling on the ground. He was stunned for a moment before saying, “You guys can start eating. I’ve already eaten at Chengrui’s place.”
“You’ve sure become capable, even learning how to find a meal outside, huh?” Mrs. Liu got up and angrily said this as she moved the dining table.
“Kneeling for just two hours seems useless. Do you want to kneel for another two hours?” Madam Qiao chimed in with a strange tone.
“Mother, everyone was waiting for him, but he…” Mrs. Liu immediately lowered her head and replied.
Madam Qiao, however, knocked the ground with her walking stick and interrupted her halfway through.
After that, she firmly demanded, “Why aren’t you listening to me anymore? Are you planning to rebel?
“Or do you think you can be arrogant after becoming the main wife? Do you want to be demoted back to being a concubine and experience what it means to have someone above you again?”
Gu Chengye immediately turned to his father for help.
However, Father Gu ignored him. It was only suitable for a mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law. There was no need for him to stop her.
What’s more, Mirs. Liu was getting more and more arrogant. She even dared to get physical with him.
For Gu Chengye’s sake, it was already good enough that he didn’t personally deal with her.
Thus, why would he stop his mother from venting her anger on his behalf? He wanted Mrs. Liu to learn a good lesson this time and let her know what it meant to regard her husband as the central pillar of the family..
