Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 175: Sow melons, reap melons, sow beans, reap beans
When Li walked to the door, she just heard the old lady instructing Mama Liu to change the hot tea. She smiled faintly and glanced at Bai beside her. There was no change on the latter's face, and she still maintained a decent smile. It seemed that she did not feel much about the old lady's attention to her behind the scenes.
She always knew that her second brother's wife must be an extraordinary person. Just from the fact that she dared to seize a son-in-law from the list, and she came from a merchant family, but she held her second brother tightly. Look at them, their daughter is already fifteen or sixteen years old, and they have given birth to a son.
Gu Qinghe followed his mother into the main hall. The old lady sat in the main seat. When Wang saw someone coming in, she immediately stood up.
"Happy New Year, Mother."
"Happy New Year, Grandma."
"All right, all right. Come sit down and talk." The old lady waved her hand, motioning Gu Qinghe to sit next to her. "Qinghe, come here. Were you cold on the way here?"
Li, Bai and Wang sat together. The three sisters-in-law exchanged a few words in low voices. Gu Qinghe followed the instructions and went to the side of Old Lady Gu, where she held hands.
"It's not that cold anymore. It's probably not as cold as when Third Aunt came over." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile, "Third Aunt, Happy New Year."
"Well, everything is fine." Wang said with a smile.
"Second sister, was Gu Feng scared this morning?" The old lady grabbed Gu Qinghe's hand and looked at Bai.
"I was woken up, and now I'm asleep again. Children have short memories, and I'm afraid they'll have forgotten what happened this morning when they wake up again." Bai smiled faintly, "Unlike adults, they can't forget the past, no matter whether it's good or bad."
The old lady felt okay about the first half of Bai's sentence, but the second half was somewhat suggestive.
However, she just smiled pretending to be confused and said, "This red envelope for Gu Feng, you, as his mother, will take it back later. The weather is too cold, so don't come here with the child."
"Yes, thank you mother for your consideration." Bai nodded.
"Speaking of red envelopes, grandma will give you a big one this year. Firstly, you haven't been with grandma for so many years, so you want to make up for the past. Secondly, this year is your first and last year at home in Beijing." As Grandma Gu said this, she took the thing from Mama Liu's hand and put it in Gu Qinghe's hand.
Gu Qinghe saw some sincerity in her grandmother's eyes. She stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Grandma."
Old Madam Gu patted her hands and said, "Grandma knows that it's not easy for you to come home after you get married, but if you get the chance, you should still visit home more often. After all, your brother is still so young. Siblings need to see each other more often to develop feelings for each other."
What this says makes sense. This is how children are. They will be closer to whoever spends more time with them.
"I know." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and nodded.
Wang Shi saw that the time was right and smiled, "Mother, what you said is absolutely true. Ruoxing has been married for over two months now, and her brother has almost forgotten about her. She's already over ten years old, let alone a baby."
"Third sister-in-law, as long as you and third brother often mention the second lady in front of Gu Rong, he will definitely not forget her even though he is so old. After all, they are siblings." Bai chuckled and took over the conversation.
"Yes, blood is thicker than water. How can we forget it so quickly?" Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu glanced at Li from the side. This eldest daughter-in-law was a discerning person who was willing to rely on someone more powerful than herself, unlike Wang, who only knew envy and jealousy.
"You're both right, each with his own reasons." The old lady smiled and waved her hand, smoothing things over. Then she looked at Wang and said, "Speaking of Ruoxing, has she written to you recently? How's she doing?"
Upon hearing this, Wang sighed and said with a worried look on her face, "Mother, it's New Year's Day, so let's not talk about it."
After saying this, Wang looked at the old lady, then looked at Gu Qinghe pretending to be embarrassed.
Gu Qinghe found it funny. Third Aunt was much more tactful today, which made her curious about what she would say later.
"Mother, my third sister-in-law is right. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's not be unhappy, right?" Mrs. Bai smiled calmly. "They say this isn't a good idea. It will lead to a bad year. Don't you agree?"
Then, Bai looked at Wang who was beside her and said, "Third sister-in-law, we all have to pay attention to this. If there is anything, come and tell mother tomorrow."
Wang had not expected that Bai would interrupt her. Normally, when the women gathered together and heard someone had troubles, they would listen and then try to comfort each other.
This Bai actually choked herself as soon as she came up, making it impossible for her to swallow or spit out.
Old Mrs. Gu did not expect that her second daughter-in-law would speak like this, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense. The third girl's marriage this year should naturally be extremely smooth.
"The second wife is right. Today, let's talk about happy things." Old Mrs. Gu said this after she let out a long sigh.
Gu Qinghe looked at the elders in the hall who were all thinking about their own things and smiled softly. She didn't care about whether it was auspicious or not. After all, there was nothing auspicious about marrying Xiao Jingheng.
But her mother had good intentions and didn't want her to get involved in matters related to Gu Ruoxing, so she naturally appreciated it.
This gathering of the Gu family women suddenly ran out of main topics, so everyone had another cup of tea and then dispersed.
Before leaving, Mrs. Gu gave Bai a red envelope, saying it was for Gu Feng. Then she watched them leave and sighed, "Second brother's wife, she has never said she would obey me in the past twenty years."
Mother Liu supported her arm and chuckled, "Old lady, why are you so angry with the younger generation? You know in your heart that the Second Master will be the head of the Gu family in the future, and the Second Madam will have the final say in the backyard."
"That's why I want to make more plans for the Third Brother because I know all this."
"Don't worry, Second Master will definitely not ignore Third Master." Mother Liu continued to comfort him, "You've worked hard all your life, it's time to enjoy a peaceful life."
"How can I bear to let you enjoy a peaceful life and then watch the third brother's family being abandoned?"
"I really feel sorry for you. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You should be more open-minded. The third master had a much happier childhood than the second master, and the second master's current achievements are also the result of hard work." Mother Liu continued to persuade.
You reap what you sow. This principle will never go wrong.
"Who taught you this?" the old lady asked in a deep voice.
"I saw it myself." Mother Liu naturally couldn't betray the Second Master. Her son worked for the Second Master, and when he went home a few days ago, he asked her to persuade the old lady.
Mother Liu felt that the old lady had been thinking too much recently, so she agreed and could also do a favor for the second wife.
