Chapter 38 The So-called Good Things

At the door, Gu Mingde and his family of three pushed their bicycles into the yard. "Dad, we're back to see you."

Gu Guoqiang had a blank expression and did not respond.

He was both angry and disappointed with his son, but after all, he was his biological son, and he couldn't bear to deny him.

I can only ignore him.

The coldness of his family did not dampen Gu Mingde's enthusiasm. He parked the car, carried Gu Guangmei into the house and said, "Come on, girl, call grandpa and tell him you miss him."

Gu Guangmei was obviously much more honest and timidly called out "Grandpa."

The child is still young, and his pitiful appearance is not that offensive.

Gu Guoqiang didn't want to embarrass the child, so he asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Gu Mingde saw that his father was loosening up, and he quickly praised himself, "Didn't Mingyue say before that she wanted to use bricks? I just got the letter and wanted to come back and tell her;

I also want to come back to see you. Lu Yan and I did something wrong last time. I went back and told her about it. I also reflected on myself. This time I came back just to formally admit my mistake to Dad. "

After saying that, he pulled his wife beside him.

Lu Yan stepped forward and bowed to apologize, "Dad, I was wrong. Please don't hold grudges against me. Don't be so mean to your daughter-in-law."

In fact, sometimes, the elderly at home may be angry, but they are still worried.

Maybe all he needs is some coaxing, some giving, some apology, and he'll calm down.

Obviously, this is what Gu Guoqiang is like now.

Gu Mingyue lowered her eyes when she saw this. It seemed that her uncle still had expectations for this son. This was not acceptable.

Seeing his father's expression ease, Gu Mingde took the opportunity to say, "Dad, the main reason I came back this time is to tell my family something good."

"what's up?"

Gu Mingde did not answer his father directly, but looked at Gu Mingyue and said, "I was helping Mingyue find bricks, and I happened to meet the deputy director, so I talked a few more words;

Our deputy factory director respects heroes very much and likes Mingyue very much. So, he asked me to help mediate between them.

He has a son who is about the same age as Mingyue. They are a perfect match.

They only have this one son in the family, and everything in the house will belong to them from now on. Don’t you think this is a great thing? "

After Gu Mingde finished speaking, he noticed that everyone's faces were not right. "Dad, what are you doing?"

Gu Mingwei said at the side, "Third brother, Mingyue has already said before that she wants to marry a son-in-law."

At this time, Lu Yan said something sarcastic, "Marrying a son-in-law? This family has nothing, what kind of person can we marry?

Mingyue, listen to my third sister-in-law's advice, don't let your imagination run wild. Do you think anyone can be as lucky as me, your third sister-in-law, to find such an outstanding person as your third brother?

That's on the premise that our family can find a good job for your third brother. In our village, there are few decent people who come to our house."

In fact, she wanted to say that there were few decent people who could come to her house, but then she thought of her own man, so she changed her words.

However, Lu Yan's words made Gu Mingyue feel funny. "Third sister-in-law, you are praising me openly but criticizing me secretly. Are you trying to say that I don't have that ability?

Or is he trying to show off in disguise, and tell us that my third brother married into your family, and that our Gu family got a great advantage."

Before Lu Yan came, she was probably reminded to restrain herself, but it is difficult to change one's nature, and her true colors were revealed with just a few words.

She said without thinking, "Gu Mingyue, I am your third sister-in-law, please be polite when talking to me;

Also, don’t think you are great just because you are a college student. You are an orphan girl with a fool;

The deputy director's family doesn't despise you and has promised to help raise a fool in the future. What do you have to complain about?

You really think you are so popular, but you don't even look at your own fate."

Liu Caixia couldn't help herself this time and slapped Lu Yan directly.

Lu Yan covered her face and screamed, "Ah...! You dare to hit me."

Liu Caixia looked ferocious, like an enraged female beast.

She stood in front of Mingyue and glared at Lu Yan. "I am your sister-in-law. A sister-in-law is like a mother. If I hear you talking nonsense again next time, I will tear your mouth apart."

Liu Caixia felt distressed. This gossip had been spread by people in the surrounding area.

But she has the protection of her father-in-law in the village, and her husband has no time to emphasize to everyone the crackdown on feudal superstition.

Even if everyone has some ideas, they keep them in their hearts.

Now it is their own family members who are bringing up the subject.

How could she not be angry? It was not easy for Mingyue to get to where she is today. These heartless people still said such things to slander others. They really lacked virtue for eight lifetimes.

Gu Mingyue also noticed something. It was about unkindness. In her previous life, she had heard this so many times that her ears were callused.

At that time, whenever something happened at home, even if there was one less egg in the chicken coop, people would blame her and say it was her fault.

Judging from my sister-in-law’s reaction, this rumor must have existed for a long time, but no one in the village dared to speak of it.

But just because she was used to hearing it didn't mean she liked it. What's more, it also involved Little Stone.

Lu Yan, right? Gu Mingde must be eliminated, and you can't escape.

She took out a picture book and a bag of popcorn from the basket beside her and handed them to Guangrong and Guangcan. "You two can take Xiao Shitou and Guangxin into the house to play."

After the children entered the house, Gu Mingyue stood up, walked around the eldest sister-in-law, walked up to Lu Yan, and said to her coldly, "Third sister-in-law, the Qi family spread rumors in front of me and are still in the public security bureau;

Why, do you want to stay in there too? Or do I need to go to your factory and ask who is responsible for the fact that the employees of the machinery factory are promoting feudal superstition? "

Gu Mingde glared at Lu Yan fiercely, saying that she was a useless thing who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

Seeing the situation like this, Gu Mingde could only humbly apologize to Gu Mingyue, "Mingyue, your sister-in-law didn't mean it, don't take it to heart;

But her words were true. We are also thinking about you. The deputy director's family is well-off and has a simple family. When you arrive in the town, your family will be able to take care of you at all times. What a good thing.

As for marrying into the family, Third Brother also thinks that there may not be many good ones who can marry into the family. Your Third Sister-in-law is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't bother with her."

Gu Mingyue taunted, "Oh? There aren't many good people here? Are you talking about yourself, Third Brother?"

What Gu Mingde hates most is people using his identity to make trouble.

His face trembled, and he suppressed his anger and scolded, "Mingyue, you are becoming more and more disrespectful. Dad, look, I didn't say anything, but Mingyue is so unreasonable. What will happen to me in the future?"

Gu Guoqiang suddenly showed his old age. He stared at Gu Mingde and asked, "Third brother, tell me the truth. How old is the deputy director's son? What's the problem?"

Seeing that Gu Mingde was still trying to argue, he said in a serious tone, "Third brother, think about it before you answer. Otherwise, I will ask your eldest brother to go back to town with you. Do you think I can do it?"

Gu Mingde had been suppressing his anger, but Gu Guoqiang's words completely ignited the fire.

He yelled in a timid voice, "Dad, it's always like this! No matter what happens, you never believe me once;

When I was a kid, my second brother lost his shoes and you blamed me. Why, why couldn’t you stand by me for once? "

Gu Guoqiang knew his son too well. If he had remained calm, perhaps he would still hold out hope that his son still had a conscience.

But the current performance has completely ruined this luck.

He sighed, "Third brother, you may not know it yourself, but since you were a child, every time you feel guilty, you will make a big fuss like you do now."

Gu Guoqiang's calm eyes made Gu Mingde stand there stiffly, unable to utter a word.

Gu Mingyue suddenly called out to Gu Guangmei, "Lu Guangmei."

Lu Guangmei is now in the first grade. When elementary school students start school, the first thing they have to learn is how to call their names when the class is rolled.

Sure enough, when she heard the name, she responded reflexively, "Here."

The whole room was in an uproar!
