Chapter 325: Grandma Ji: Be My Grand Daughter-In-Law (1)
Gu Qingyao returned to the living room and continued telling stories to the children who listened with relish.
After a while more, Zhou Ping shouted again, “Yao Yao, take a towel for me to wipe my sweat. It’s too hot here!”
Gu Qingyao took a towel and wet it before passing it to Zhou Ping. “Third Aunt, why don’t I help you to the living room! There’s a fan there and it’s more cooling.”
Zhou Ping smiled. “Not for now. I wish to sleep awhile!”
Without saying anything, Gu Qingyao returned to the living room once again.
This time, she was telling the kids an extremely exciting story which kids love to hear. Yet, halfway through, Zhou Ping spoke again.
“Yao Yao! My stomach hurts. I want to go to the toilet, but I can’t walk. Take a basin from the toilet for me. You can just pour it away and clean it later.”
The two kids were rather annoyed as the story was interrupted at an exciting part. Little Seven frowned and said, “Mother, you can just walk while holding onto the cabinet to go to the toilet. It’s so stinky to use a basin! You never used a basin before either!”
Zhou Ping’s face stiffened and said angrily, “What do you know? My leg hurts so much and I can’t even walk.”
Gu Qingyao’s lips curled up and she ran into the toilet. “Aunt, which basin is it? The one that you all use to wash legs? Let’s just throw it away after you use it! When Third Cousin and Third Uncle return, I’ll let them know about it and tell them to buy another one.”
Zhou Ping froze.
Before she could reply, Gu Qingyao said once again, “These basins are old already and this towel is too hard. Just let Third Uncle replace everything with new ones. I’ll tell him when he comes back tonight.”
“There’s no need!” Zhou Ping said hurriedly, “I’m already used to those and there’s no need to throw them away for now. You just need to tell the kids stories. You don’t need to do those.”
“Okay!” Gu Qingyao returned to the living room and continued telling the children stories.
Zhou Ping’s expression darkened. She knew how much her husband doted on this young lady. It should be said that all the men of the Gu family doted on her, regardless of her uncles or older cousins, and treated her like a precious treasure. Even though they’re in different cities, they always thought of this girl and sent her money and cloths to make new clothes every now and then.
This was especially so for the second brother’s family whose condition was good. The two children had high salaries as well and Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng gave this girl the most money usually.
If the doted Gu Qingyao really told Gu Yundong or Gu Jinlin about it when they return, those two men would definitely agree.
But Zhou Ping could not bear to waste so much money.
Afterward, Zhou Ping no longer asked Gu Qingyao to do anything and Gu Qingyao had been teaching the kids to read in the living room. Unable to bear the heat, Zhou Ping told Gu Qingyao to help her to the living room and just like that, the afternoon passed.
In the evening, the weather was much cooler and Gu Qingyao did not stop the kids when they wanted to go out to play.
She told Zhou Ping to stay at home while she followed the kids out.
The kids were eight and it was better to look after them.
As the weather was cooler, the number of people outside increased. Some elderlies with nothing much to do came out to chat with each other.
The number of kids increased as well.
Third Uncle’s family lived in an old district and many people who worked nearby lived here. The two kids were evidently familiar with the place seeing as to how they recognized many people and greeted many elderlies.
An old woman with gray hair saw Gu Qingyao and stared at her for some time. This lady was really beautiful!
