The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Shu Mingzheng and Aunt Qi.

Gu Qingshan, who was sitting on the side, also blushed when he heard his grandmother "complaining" about him like this.

What did grandma see?

He clearly didn't show anything.

However, his grandmother tactfully told Shu Mingzheng that his spine would heal soon and he could stand up. This suddenly lifted a heavy burden from his heart and he felt relaxed all over.

He originally wanted to take some time to talk things over with Shu Mingzheng alone, but if he brought it up rashly, his thoughts would have nowhere to hide.

He was actually not sure whether now was the right time to make his feelings clear. He planned to wait until he stood up before speaking. This seemed to make him feel more confident.

Zhao Wang, who sat at the same table with me, drank cup after cup from a large teacup.

Qi Yuanxiu looked at the blushing Gu Qingshan with a faint smile in his eyes.

“Qingshan, you must pick the flowers when they are in bloom, don’t wait until there are no flowers left to pick the empty branches,” Qi Yuanxiu held the teacup close to Gu Qingshan’s ear and whispered.

“Ah?” Gu Qingshan’s eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Qi Yuanxiu in shock. After a moment, he reacted and smiled shyly, “Thank you, Brother Ren, for reminding me.”

Qi Yuanxiu patted his shoulder and said: "Brave and fearless men are more attractive."

Gu Qingshan’s entire face turned red, he pursed his lips and nodded: “Yeah”.

Because of paralysis in recent years, he managed to hold on with all his strength, but he knew that deep down he still had some inferiority complex.

If his spine cannot be cured, he would definitely not want to open his heart again so as not to burden others.

But now he has every hope of recovering his health, and the future is not so scary anymore. He can work hard to earn money to support his family and ensure that his wife and children have no worries about food and clothing.

Qi Yuanshuo also lowered his eyes and smiled.

Zhao Wangze looked at his two sons and nephew with suspicion.

He half understood what they were saying.

What flowers are blooming and can be folded?

When Shu Mingzheng heard Mrs. Zhu say that Brother Qingshan would be able to stand up and walk soon, surprise flashed in her eyes.

In fact, even if Brother Qingshan is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, she is willing to be with him. This time when she came to his house, she wanted to find an opportunity to ask Brother Qingshan what he thought.

They are both not young anymore and don't have time to be pretentious.

However, the biggest obstacle to this matter was not her father, the county magistrate.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had excluded her biological father from the equation. That man was not only her and Zong'er's father, but also someone else's father. He couldn't protect her biological mother, couldn't protect her and Zong'er, so it wasn't his turn to decide her marriage. She even didn't want to tell him about her marriage.

From now on, everything between her and Zong'er will have nothing to do with that man.

The biggest obstacle should be Zong'er. Zong'er is not picky about the poor and love the rich, but he absolutely does not want her to marry a physically disabled person.

Thinking of this, Shu Mingzheng felt a little heavy-hearted. She had to find a way to convince Zong'er.

How could Aunt Qi not know what Old Madam Zhu meant? She was revealing her true colors to her young lady.

However, whether the young lady can succeed with the eldest son of the Gu family does not depend on her. No matter how highly regarded by the young lady she is, she is just a servant.

Even the young lady's biological father, the county magistrate, cannot make the decision. The most crucial factor in the young lady's marriage is still the young master.

The young master particularly respects my sister and will definitely not let her marry someone with a disease. Madam Qi is very sure of this.

Aunt Qi smiled and said, "Madam Zhu is absolutely right. My little girl will surely have a blessed future."

Zhu Meijun glanced at Shu Mingzheng and suddenly asked, "Is Miss Shu married?"

Shu Mingzheng's heartbeats began to beat, and he laughed at himself, "Not yet. All men in the world love beauty, and I'm afraid most men won't be attracted by my appearance."

Zhu Meijun waved her hands and said angrily, "What are you talking about! I just think you are great. You will definitely marry a great and outstanding man!"

A great and outstanding man who stands tall and proud?

When Gu Qingshan heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He was afraid that his dear grandmother would say "What do you think of my eldest grandson?"

Because "a peerless man who stands tall and proud" was a catchphrase that my grandmother often used to praise him.

Shu Mingzheng blushed and said, "Thank you, Madam Zhu, for your appreciation."

"Oh, what a nice girl," Zhu Meijun looked at Shu Mingzheng with a smile, with a loving expression like a grandmother looking at her grandson's wife.

At this time, Yi Ren came over, bowed and asked Zhu Meijun what she wanted to eat for lunch.

Zhu Meijun suddenly remembered that she was the logistics manager.

A distinguished guest is coming today, so she has to keep a close eye on the kitchen and make sure not to neglect the guest during lunch.

Even though Huai'er gave me the recipe, I still needed her to give me some advice.

When she was young, she worked as a cook for a large landowner for a period of time and learned some special dishes.

So Zhu Meijun stood up and said to Gu Qinghuai, "Huai'er, you stay with Miss Shu and have a good chat. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

"Okay, grandma, you go and get busy," Gu Qinghuai said with a smile.

Zhao Ying also stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

She was a country peasant woman who couldn't speak, and she felt uncomfortable facing the delicate young lady from an official family.

Seeing that her two supporters were gone, Grandma Kuhua stood up shakily with the help of her cane, "Huai girl, grandma is going to... go to the kitchen to help light the fire."

Gu Qinghuai knew that Kuhua Nai was embarrassed to sit here, so he said, "Okay, Kuhua Nai, please go slowly."

Zhao Wang and Qi Yuanxiu both came out to meet the distinguished guest. They felt embarrassed to sit there any longer, so they stood up and continued to dig an ice cellar in the backyard.

Qi Yuanshuo was ready to obey Gu Qinghuai's orders at any time, so he stayed.

At this time, Gu Qingmiao came over and whispered something in Gu Qingshan's ear. Gu Qingshan's face suddenly turned red and his eyes immediately turned to Shu Mingzheng.

After a while, he pushed the wheelchair out of the yard. No one knew that his hands were shaking slightly as he pushed the wheelchair.

Gu Qinghuai and Shu Mingzheng chatted for a while, mainly talking about her cooperation with Shu Mingzong.

Shu Mingzheng was very grateful to Gu Qinghuai because it was Gu Qinghuai who made her unreliable brother start doing serious things.

The two were chatting happily when Gu Qingmiao suddenly ran over and threw herself into Shu Mingzheng's arms, blushing and saying coquettishly, "Sister Shu, there are so many wild chrysanthemums blooming at the foot of the back mountain. They are so beautiful. Will you accompany me to pick some flowers?"

Gu Qingya was also standing nearby, looking at Shu Mingzheng eagerly.

Gu Qinghuai glanced at the two little girls, and said to Shu Mingzheng with a smile: "Sister Shu, Miaomiao and Yaya like you very much. You can go out with them for a walk, just to relax and see the scenery of our countryside."

Shu Mingzheng also wanted to stand up and walk around, so he agreed readily.

Aunt Qi also wanted to go, but was stopped by Shu Mingzheng. Aunt Qi has always been very serious, and the children would feel restrained when she is around.

Shu Mingzheng put on her veil again, held Gu Qingmiao's hand with one hand and Gu Qingya's hand with the other, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Looking at their backs, Gu Qinghuai suddenly guessed what the four little ones wanted to do.

The little ones were really good. They actually figured out that something was going on between their eldest brother and Sister Shu.

There is no doubt that this idea must have been thought up by Xiaohuo.

After walking out of the yard, Gu Qingmiao stopped and said with shame on his face: "I'm sorry, Sister Shu, I lied to you. I didn't bring you out to pick flowers. It's my eldest brother who is looking for you. He has something important to tell you."
