"Your daughter-in-law?"
"Is she the big capitalist's lady?"
"No, you have a daughter-in-law who is so filial to her parents-in-law?"
"I heard that the ladies in this city are so squeamish that their eyes are on the top of their heads!"
"...Qingcheng damn, are you bragging?"
"Yes, your Qingcheng is a filial person, we all know this. But my daughter-in-law——"
They are all middle-aged and elderly women, and they have all become mothers-in-law.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most delicate and prone to hostility.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not broken up with each other and can still maintain a minimum of face. This is already a very harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
As Gu's mother showed off, her son didn't care about his hometown, and the daughter-in-law took care of everything herself. It was like a dream!
"Tch, you brag every day that you have a good daughter-in-law. If your daughter-in-law is really filial, why don't you stay in the capital?"
"That's right. I'm usually busy with work, so I'm far away from home, so I can't go back to my hometown. Now it's the Chinese New Year, and I'm not even coming back!"
"...Let me tell you, it's clear that the rich and charming lady looks down on the mud-legged in-laws."
Not everyone wants to see happiness and beauty in other people’s homes.
The mentality of "hate others and laugh at others" is the instinct of many people.
In the past year, the Gu family has been the most conspicuous.
Gu Qingcheng was originally the most promising young man in the Liu Family Temple. In the first half of the year, he actually took his parents, siblings, etc. to the capital.
That was the capital city, with squares and palaces, where nobles lived.
It is a place that many people dream of.
It was just a matter of going to the capital. When the Gu family came back, the big and small packages and the glamorous appearance almost made some blind daters blush.
Watches, radios, new clothes, new shoes.
Even a loser like Gu Laoshi actually started smoking cigarettes.
As soon as he returned to the village, before entering the village, Gu Laoshi took his cigarette case and smoked in a circle under the big locust tree.
A pack of cigarettes costs only 12 cents, and after a round of toasting, it’s gone!
Everyone else felt sorry for Gu Laoshi when they saw it.
As a result, the notoriously honest man in this village actually looked disapproving.
"It's so rich! The Gu family is really rich!"
"That's not possible. Didn't Gu Qingcheng just go to university? Why does he act like he's a capitalist?"
"It's better to study. I also want my son to go to college and go to the capital!"
"...Don't you know this? Old Gu's Qingcheng has married a good wife!"
"What? Gu Qingcheng got married? When did it happen?"
"Who said capitalist just now? It's so accurate! Gu Qingcheng did not become a capitalist, but married a capitalist girl."
"...No wonder the old Gu family suddenly became rich! Even a loser like Gu Laoshi wears a watch!"
"Could it be that the door was opened upside down?"
"No! But it's almost the same as a son-in-law. The house is a dowry for the woman, and she bought so many good things for the Gu family."
People in the village were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred when they saw the Gu family "returning to their hometown in fine clothes."
Well-intentioned discussions, malicious slanders, and countless rumors filled the entire village.
Gu's mother was the most aggressive. When she heard the news, she rushed into the house of a village woman who was wrong with her and made a fuss——
"I'll tear your mouth apart! I'll make you laugh like crazy!"
"Who said my Qingcheng had barged in on me? Let me tell you, our Gu family wants a wife!"
"What? No betrothal gift? The woman also got a house as a dowry? Yes! These are all true, but that's because my son has the ability!"
"Humph, your son wants to marry the other girl, but the girl is not happy."
"My daughter-in-law is happy with it. If she has money, she is willing to give flowers to my son, and she is also willing to be filial to us!"
"I envy you
Even if the envious eyes bleed, there is nothing that can be done. Who told your son to be incompetent? "
Gu's mother was beaten from the yard to the street, and then from the street to the entrance of the village.
Almost the whole village came to watch the fun.
Gu's mother pinched her waist and showed off confidently to the villagers who gathered around her -
"Hey, my son looks good and studies well. He is a top student in Mizuki!"
"My daughter-in-law just likes my son."
"Hey, the dowry house is not one room, but a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits."
"By the way, the watches, leather shoes and clothes bought for us are all my daughter-in-law's wishes."
"Bah! How dare you laugh at my son and take care of your own home without urinating. You gave birth to a crooked melon and cracked jujube. You built a house and gave you a bride price, but you can't even get a wife!"
Mother Gu was furiously outputting.
She looked a bit like the best old lady in the countryside.
Some people couldn't stand it, so they whispered in a low voice: "You don't have to spend money to get a wife, so why do you think you have the ability?"
On the surface, this man expressed righteous indignation, but there was still envy in his words.
"You are indeed capable! Who doesn't want to marry a wife without spending any money? But apart from Gu Qingcheng, whose son in our Liu Family Temple can do this?"
"That kid from Qingcheng is really good! He's good-looking and a college student. Girls in the city are rare."
The people in the village are like this. No matter what they say, they are actually envious in their hearts.
Gu's mother made a fuss, and the incident of "cutting in the door upside down" finally subsided.
More villagers took Gu's mother and asked them carefully about the capital.
Gu's mother sat under the locust tree and started to boast to a group of fellow villagers——
"Let me tell you, the capital is very big, the roads are very wide, and there are buses."
"The streets are full of bicycles. Oh my, they are brand new and shiny, and they look impressive."
"The square is very big, and the palace and the Great Wall are also very beautiful..."
"Have you ever eaten roast duck? Oops, the duck skin is roasted until it's sizzling with oil. Roll it up in a small pancake and dip it in the sauce. It's so delicious!"
"By the way, have you heard of Lao Mo? That's a Western restaurant. You have to use a fork to eat, and the forks are all silver."
"There are also big hotels in the capital, where my son got married..."
Every word spoken by Gu's mother can arouse the audience's admiration again and again.
At the end of the sentence, everyone was desperately sucking their saliva——
Not only the delicacies of the capital mentioned by Gu’s mother are mouth-watering, but the wonderful life of her son she describes is also mouth-watering!
"Gu Qingcheng is indeed promising!"
"Yeah, even if I have to knock in the door upside down, it's worth it to be able to live like this!"
"What the hell are you barging in the door! Aren't you afraid that the honest family will come to your house and cause trouble?"
"Oh, that's what I said! I mean, Gu Qingcheng is quite enviable!"
From the time Gu's mother came back to the end of the year, for more than half a year, she and Gu Qingcheng were the hot topics of discussion in the entire Liu Family Temple and even in the countryside.
Especially Gu Qingcheng, who married a capitalist lady, has become the "idol" of countless young men.
Ningzecheng:......
Alas, if he didn't know the next direction, he would also envy Gu Qingcheng.
such a pity!
Ning Zecheng didn't even know whether Gu Qingcheng was born in the wrong era or married to the wrong wife.
Miss Capitalist, this is a thunder in itself.
As for Gu Qingcheng, he actually became Shuimu's teacher. This was the second surprise.
Is this a debuff for this couple?
Ning Zecheng couldn't imagine that in another ten years, oh no, not ten years, if unlucky, next year, oh no, this year, just--
As a time traveler who is familiar with history and the plot, Ning Zecheng is really right
Gu Qingcheng was extremely sympathetic.
"... Come and take a look, there is a name written on the package. Here, Zhou Ziqin, this is my daughter-in-law's name!"
At the entrance of the village, next to the big locust tree, Gu's mother dragged the package, pointed to the words on it and said to everyone.
In fact, she doesn't know how to read, but in the past six months, she has received too many packages from her daughter-in-law.
Brother Gu and the others would point to the three words on it and tell Mother Gu: "Mom, look, this is my sister-in-law's name!"
"Zhou, Zi, Qin!"
Just these three words, after seeing them more often, Mother Gu will naturally recognize them.
Almost all of the middle-aged and elderly women who gathered around Gu's mother to watch the excitement were illiterate.
"Qingcheng mother, did you do this on purpose? Who of us knows how to read?"
"That's right! Stop pretending! When did you know how to read?"
Gu’s mother:…
Taking a deep breath, in order to continue to prove that these things were indeed sent by her daughter-in-law, she looked around and spotted Ningze City passing by.
"Ning Zhiqing! You know how to read! Come and help me!"
Ning Zecheng: ...I just made a fool of myself, why did I get involved?
