"Don't think that your mother and I don't know those tidbits about talented people. Those tabloids report them a lot! If you dare to associate with such a person who abandons his wife and children, be careful with your legs!"
Mrs. Gu yelled and scolded.
After saying that, he looked at Nie Li again and nodded, "Even if I have to find someone, I have to find someone as reliable as your brother!"
Nie Li took advantage of the situation and puffed out his chest.
Look, I look like this.
The second sister was too lazy to pay attention to these two people and hid in the room.
The two women looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
After chatting with Mrs. Gu for a long time, Nie Li finally revealed his intention.
Mrs. Gu was a little surprised.
"You mean, you want to marry the young lady from the Governor's family?"
Nie Li nodded and said seriously: "Yes, mother!"
"I'm telling you today that it's a showdown. Governor Zhao said that Dan Qing and I should get engaged as soon as possible, and then I'll take office!"
Mrs. Gu looked at Nie Li worriedly: "Dali, mother is telling you that although our Gu family is not a wealthy family, we are not without wealth either. You can't step in someone else's door because of money or something."
"In this way, your deceased father whom you have never met, and your ancestors left a lot of things. They are all kept by mother."
"I'll get 200,000 silver dollars for you first. Is it enough? Don't wrong yourself."
Mrs. Gu's face was full of worry. Although she knew that Nie Li had a large property in Shendu and was the chief of the patrol bureau, how much money could an official make?
My son's character is definitely not greedy.
Therefore, I plan to use money to support Nie Li. I must not let Nie Li be wronged because of money.
When Nie Li heard that my mother was going to take out 200,000 silver dollars, he was stunned on the spot.
I gave up the inheritance rights of a huge amount of property back then.
She said in disbelief: "Mom, is the Gu family so rich?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head indifferently: "Yes, my ancestors had high officials. Although they are in decline now, the money is all hidden. Half of it is about 300,000 in foreign banks, and..."
Before Mrs. Gu could finish speaking, Nie Li quickly interrupted.
"Mom, please stop talking, I'm heartbroken!"
"If I had known that our family was so rich back then, why would I have run away? A little bit of it would be enough for me."
Holding my heart, it hurts.
Thinking about how hard it has been for me to pull a car for so many years.
At first, I thought God didn’t give me a golden finger, but I never expected that God had found my own mother.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Nie Li angrily: "Stop making trouble, who told you to run away? Didn't you insist on going out and taking a look?"
"Besides, it's not a good thing to spend so much money. Mom has never dared to spend it. The rent in the field is enough to make ends meet. Meal food is the most real thing."
Nie Li smiled.
He was moved by Mrs. Gu's doting on him.
Be tolerant of yourself.
And have no reservations about yourself.
"Mom, I'm not short of money. You don't know how big my son's property is, right? To be honest, the most luxurious entertainment city in Shendu belongs to my son, as does Wanhe Automobile Dealership, which spans Jinghai and the Concession. Yes, from now on, you can just ask any rickshaw driver on the street to find me, and you don’t even have to spend any money! Those are your son’s brothers."
"Marrying Zhao Danqing is not a marriage, it's a real mutual love. Governor Zhao wants something from me."
Hurry up and give me some relief.
But I can't let my wife take out all the money.
I also admire my mother's hard work and simplicity. It's amazing that she can maintain a normal mind even though she is worth so much.
"Take this two hundred thousand, that's your share. In the past, you, despite your young age, had hidden things in your heart. When you wanted to go out, my mother-in-law would know a thing or two about what was going on, and you and the money I’ve also heard a lot about housekeepers.”
"What I thought at first was that you knew it was hard outside, so you would come back. That's not true. You grew up in a hard house. Although you left with only a little money, how could you turn back so easily? .”
"Think about the hardships you have endured over the years, my mother's heart, just..."
As she said this, Mrs. Gu was about to shed tears.
Nie Li didn't dare to say anything anymore.
"Okay, mother, I'll take it. I'll take it."
Only then did Mrs. Gu smile: "You should take it. From now on, you will have to take charge of all the big and small things in this family. Your eldest sister is married outside. Although she lives in her natal family now, it is your eldest brother-in-law who is here." I have no choice but to join the army outside. But after all, I am his wife."
"Your second sister is a little clever, but you must have worked hard to get to this point. You don't have to hide it, your mother is not stupid!"
Just as Nie Li was about to say something, Mrs. Gu blocked her words.
"Also, in the future, when you and Dan Qing have children, their surname will still be Nie. If you have many children and grandchildren, just leave one with the surname Gu. Mom won't look forward to the rest."
"As for, in the future, when I get old, you will still have to carry the banner. You deserve the money."
Mrs. Gu rambled a lot.
Nie Li held my mother's hand tightly.
"Mom, you will live a long life! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Isn't that an old goblin? That old Buddha didn't live a long life either!"
Nie Li hummed and said: "Nothing matters to me, Lafayette. From now on, you will be the Lafayette in my family. I said so!"
The two women finally finished speaking what was in their hearts.
A loving mother and a filial son.
The second sister was left sitting on the floor leaning against the door in the room, looking sad.
"My mother has thought too carefully."
Think about it, a woman can grow up smoothly with two daughters, and still have such great prestige among a group of tenants, how can it be possible for Silly Baitian?
Nie Li even thinks, why is the rent in Gujiazhuang lower than others? There is no lack of considerations from my mother.
Shake your head.
"Whatever, it's just my mother."
The second sister made lunch, and I was a little tired from crying.
Went back to the house to rest.
Niu Zi’s wife can cook some home-cooked food, but she is still learning the cuisine and there are still some things she can’t put on the table.
The eldest sister is pregnant.
Naturally, the second sister could only do it.
After eating, Nie Li stayed until about four o'clock in the afternoon before leaving and returned to Wanhe Courtyard.
Five days later, a low-key engagement banquet was held in the villa. There were no outsiders, only Mrs. Zhao Yannian Xiuniang and people from Nie Li's side.
The family had an engagement party.
The cook came from the Governor's Mansion, and Mrs. Gu didn't pick one.
Mrs. Gu gave Zhao Danqing a bracelet on the spot. Nie Li didn't know what the material was, but looking at the satisfied expressions of Zhao Yannian and Xiu Niang, he knew it was worth a lot.
Zhao Danqing put it away carefully.
After a meal, Zhao Danqing sent Zhao Yannian back, but Nie Li didn't follow him. It was almost a day.
Everyone is gone.
Mrs. Gu then said to Nie Li: "Dali, go and drive."
.....
Don't be too long-winded in these chapters. Let's flesh out the characters of the Gu family so that they are no longer paper figures, but a real 'family' of flesh and blood.
