"Two in-laws, look at this matter. In the end, it is just the noise of the young and energetic children. As the elders, we have to help bring them together. You would rather demolish ten temples than one." Marriage, my daughter-in-law has conceived a grandson for our Gu family. Even though she couldn’t keep it, she is still my Gu family’s flesh and blood after all. She will be a member of my Gu family even if she goes to the end of the world, don’t you think so?”
Having said this, it was Ping'er's turn to speak.
"Mr. Gu, I still say what I said. Our two families are no longer in-laws. The term "in-laws" is inappropriate. If outsiders hear it, it will have a bad impact on my Huahua's future marriage."
"Furthermore, you all know the situation of my family well. Huahua does not belong to me and Zhou Shengsheng. She is the young lady of the master's family that I used to serve. The master's family was in decline and the young lady was in trouble. I, the maid, pulled her up. of."
"So, we only have the right to advise on these important matters regarding the young lady's marriage, but we cannot make decisions for her."
Speaking of this, Ping'er glanced at Gu Zhihua.
If he could really make a decision for Huahua, he would have stopped her from marrying Gu Zhihua.
"Although Huahua is not your biological child, her upbringing is as great as God's. She will definitely listen to your words. You are humble!" Gu's father said.
Zhou Sheng also put down the tea bowl and shook his head: "My daughter is old and has her own ideas. It's useless for you to talk to us so much. This is Huahua's business. Huahua has to make the decision herself. Since Huahua had a miscarriage last time, , she ran home alone and sat there for so long, so we decided that we would not care about her affairs from now on, and we would not be able to do anything about her affairs, just do whatever we like."
Father Gu heard that Zhou Sheng was deliberately slapping his wife in the face with the fact that she had a miscarriage and had a baby.
The matter of a daughter-in-law's miscarriage and confinement should be the responsibility of her husband's family, but her husband's family pretended to be careless and asked her mother's family to take care of the baby. Her mother-in-law's family did not even have the intention to visit, let alone come to her mother's house to pick her up. , justified...
"This is all our Gu family's fault." Father Gu gritted his teeth and took all the blame in one go.
"That's why we're here now. We want you to give our Gu family a chance to make up for it, okay?"
Faced with the begging of such an old father, Zhou Sheng and Ping'er exchanged glances, both feeling that this father Gu was very difficult to endure.
From the corner of her eye, Ping'er caught sight of Gu Zhihua standing there secretly swatting mosquitoes, and Ping'er secretly shook her head.
"Mr. Gu, I would like to take the liberty of asking."
"Okay, okay, mother-in-law, don't say just one sentence, even if it's a hundred sentences, I'll be happy to answer your question."
mother-in-law?
Pinger rolled her eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, you did say a lot this time when I came here, and I can tell that you are sincere at the moment, but this is like singing a play. Your son Gu Zhihua is the protagonist. You sang the whole play without him. What's the matter? We gave Huahua to your Gu family, not to live with you, but to live with Gu Zhihua. He didn't say anything and stood there with a look of reluctance. He was just swatting mosquitoes. What, you guys? Did the two of them get different scripts?" Ping'er asked.
Father Gu was stunned for a moment, then turned and glared at Gu Zhihua fiercely.
Gu Zhihua quickly threw away the mosquito body in his palm, took a step forward, and said to Ping'er and Zhou Sheng: "My father is an elder, and I mean what my father means. I am a junior, and I am afraid that my words have no weight, so now Entrust my father to tell me,"
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and son-in-law really know that I was wrong. I hope my father-in-law and mother-in-law will give me a chance to make up for Huahua."
"By the way, I am sincere. I got rid of the two maids from Qing'an County who instigated our relationship, and I also drew a clear line between me and my cousin. From now on, I will only treat Huahua. I swear!"
He raised his right hand out of habit and found that he was wearing a glove. He quickly lowered it and raised his left hand.
When Ping'er and Zhou Sheng heard Gu Zhihua's words, their expressions finally changed.
Father Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that sending away the maids and cleaning up the backyard were the key points. If he had known about it, he would have done it in advance.
"Gu Zhihua, we are still saying the same thing. No matter how you talk to us about this matter or make guarantees, we will not take a stand because we don't want to take care of this matter and we can't. Huahua has to make up his own mind about this matter. "Ping'er said again.
"Then...please ask my mother-in-law to let me meet Huahua!"
"I don't want to let you meet or not, it depends on Huahua herself. She also knows that you are here. If she wants to meet and talk to you, she will come back naturally. If she doesn't come back, I can't go out and drag her away. Do you think she will come back?"
Gu Zhihua could only nod.
Father Gu said with an apologetic smile: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. We, father and son, came here specifically to resolve this matter. If we are patient, we will just wait here. We will definitely wait until my wife comes back."
Father Gu quietly tugged at the corner of Gu Zhihua's clothes.
Gu Zhihua reacted and nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes, I am willing to wait and impress her with my sincerity."
Ping'er sneered, "In that case, I won't stop you, but let's agree first that we don't want your gifts, and our family won't prepare lunch for you either."
"My mother-in-law, don't be like this. This gift is a little bit of our thoughtfulness. You see, this old turtle has been bringing stew to his wife for many years to replenish her body and strengthen her vitality..."
Ping'er ignored Gu's father at all and went straight to the kitchen.
Zhou Sheng also drank tea and said to his father and son: "What we should say has been put on the table. Now it depends on Huahua's attitude. I can't help. The old cow in the fields is still waiting. Come on, I have to go and get busy, you can do whatever you want."
Father Gu also stood up and said, "My dear, it's almost noon, why don't you go to work after dinner?"
Zhou Sheng grinned: "We farmers are in the midst of a busy farming season right now. We can't waste a moment. As I'm talking to you just now, at least eight acres of the acre has been plowed..."
Ping'er poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted into the main room, interrupting Zhou Sheng's subsequent words.
"Dad, why are you still at home? Bingbing is alone in the fields. Go quickly. I will take you to the fields when lunch is ready."
"Hey, let's go right away."
Zhou Sheng responded, nodded to Gu's father again, grabbed the barley straw hat hanging by the side and quickly walked out of the main room.
At the same time, Ping'er also closed the kitchen door.
In the main room, the Gu family's father and son were left hanging by the table, looking at each other.
"Dad, this is such a coward. You are talking so dryly that you are apologizing and being humble. It is of no use at all!"
Gu Zhihua couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to his father.
Father Gu stared and said in a deep voice: "For our Gu family to eat meat or bran-fed vegetables in the future, you can't bear this grievance?"
Gu Zhihua naturally wanted to eat meat. Pigs eat bran bran. By the way, farmers like the one he is in now also eat it, just like pigs.
"I'm warning you, we're here today, and we have to fight hard to get this thing done. If we give up halfway, the problem will be really big, and a lot of gifts will be wasted!"
