Chapter 269 Aunt Zhang's Youngest Daughter-in-Law

After hearing this, Aunt Xi sighed, her expression dejected. "How could they bear to do this to such a good child?"

After muttering a few words, Aunt Xi poured the remaining noodles from the basin into Luo Yu's bowl. "Eat, eat more, get fat, so they can know that you're living much better than them. Marrying into our Xi family is a blessing."

Luo Yu looked at Aunt Xi with a wry smile and shook her head, saying, "No need. I'll live my own life. Let them think what they want, as long as they don't bother me all the time."

After saying that, he scooped some noodles into Guan Jingyi's bowl, saying, "Eat quickly, you have to go to school soon."

Guan Jingyi glanced at Luo Yu, then at Xi Beizhan, glared at Xi Beizhan, and then proudly showed off her bowl.

Xi Beizhan remained silent.

This little girl has been giving him the cold shoulder these past two days, refusing to say a word to him, and he keeps getting glared at by her.

Does he still remember what happened yesterday? How come he has such a good memory?

After finishing their meal, Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan got up and went to work. They hadn't brought their lunchboxes and planned to eat at the cafeteria for lunch.

When Luo Yu arrived at her workplace, she went to the Women's Federation. Director Xu hadn't arrived yet, but several older women had already arrived early and had finished cleaning with smiles on their faces.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Luo Yu and the others took out yarn and started knitting sweaters.

"Aunt Zhang, I haven't asked you yet, how's your youngest daughter-in-law doing?"

Luo Yu suddenly remembered Aunt Zhang's youngest son. She and Aunt Zhang had met through a social event Aunt Zhang organized before she left.

Aunt Zhang's face lit up with joy. "I was just about to say that. I have to thank Xiao Luo. If it weren't for that social gathering you organized, I don't know where my daughter-in-law would be now."

They've been dating for about three months now, and I think it's going really well.

At first, I wasn't particularly interested in that girl, but after spending time with her, I found that she was quite kind and had a really good heart. She never came to my house empty-handed and always insisted on helping me with chores.

I wasn't attracted to her for anything or to help me with chores; it was because I once saw her save the Liu family's child in our ward.

You don't know, the Liu family in our village is not well-off. There's just an old man with a limp, Grandpa Liu, raising his grandson by collecting scraps. My daughter-in-law knows this too, and every time she comes, she brings the Liu family's child a piece of candy or something.

It just so happened that day. Liu's little grandson was being mischievous and had a tree-climbing contest with a group of teenagers. As a result, he was too small to grab the branches and fell from the tree.

My daughter-in-law was startled and rushed over to see what was happening. The Liu family's grandson had blood all over his face and his ankles were swollen and bruised. He was crying so hard that he almost died.

My daughter-in-law picked up the child without saying a word and ran straight to the hospital. Knowing that the old man of the Liu family didn't have the money to pay the medical bills, she paid them for him.

"Just based on her kind nature, I've decided she's the one for me."

Aunt Zhang became more and more excited as she talked, her smile stretching almost to her ears.

Several middle-aged women already knew about this and chimed in, "Sister Zhang is so lucky. She just had her son attend a social event and found a daughter-in-law she likes."

"That's true, but that girl is also lucky to have Sister Zhang as her mother-in-law. She'll be able to enjoy her life from now on."

"Aunt Zhang, what's your youngest daughter-in-law's surname? Which family's daughter is she from?"

It happened three months ago, and Luo Yu had long forgotten what Zhang Dama's youngest daughter-in-law's surname was.

Luo Yu smiled and stuffed a handful of Mao Ke (a type of snack) into Aunt Zhang's hand.

Aunt Zhang smiled as she took it, popped it into her mouth and started cracking it open. "This 'maoke' is delicious, so fragrant."

Luo Yu smiled and grabbed a few more handfuls for the other middle-aged women, putting them on the table. "It's alright, I bought it in the provincial capital. I bought quite a lot, enough for us to eat for two months."

There were ten sacks of freshly stir-fried, unsalted bacon in the room, each sack weighing a hundred pounds, and she didn't know how to eat it.

There were also spiced melon seeds, sea salt melon seeds, caramel melon seeds, and fruit-flavored melon seeds. Some weighed ten pounds, some had ten seeds, and some were a whole sack, filling an entire storage compartment of her space.

She doesn't dare to eat the other flavors out yet, and can only eat them secretly, but the original flavor is fine. There are so many, enough for the women's federation members to eat for a year.

Aunt Zhang smiled and glanced at the sunflower seeds in her hand. "I must say, they're quite big, no wonder they're from the provincial capital. The kernels are fragrant, and they're all one by one."

Luo Yu nodded quickly, "That's right, I only tried two and thought they were delicious, so I bought quite a lot of them. My husband Xi Beizhan even carried them back for me."

Several middle-aged women were eating sesame seeds when they started talking about Aunt Zhang's youngest daughter-in-law.

"My youngest daughter-in-law's surname is Gu, and her name is Gulina. Isn't that a really nice name?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Luo Yu with a smile in her eyes.

Luo Yu smiled and nodded as he listened to the name that would become commonplace in later generations. "It sounds nice. This name is really well-chosen. It seems that there are cultured people in my sister-in-law's family."

Aunt Zhang proudly raised her chin, "That's right, my youngest daughter-in-law's great-grandfather was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and I heard he was very good at writing poetry. He later joined the revolution, but he died young, I heard he died less than two years later."

Fortunately, her great-grandfather married early and had her grandfather early on, so their family line didn't die out.

Luo Yu nodded. "Now that I think about it, the two of them are quite a good match."

Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement and smiled, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed."

Luo Yu twitched her lips and lowered her head.

Wasn't it back when you looked down on your youngest daughter-in-law?

“Aunt Zhang, I remember Gulina has a few younger siblings. She’s so kind, are her siblings easy to get along with? They should be alright, right? And her parents, did my brother Zhang mention them? What are they like? I’m doing this as a follow-up visit, just in case we end up as a couple in distress.”

Luo Yu opened her arms and smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness.

Aunt Zhang held Luo Yu's hand, "Your Aunt Zhang understands, don't worry, I know what you mean, and I know you don't mean to gossip."

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I haven't heard your brother Zhang say anything about those kids, but he did say that their parents are easy to get along with. They've even stayed for meals a few times, and the food they prepared was quite good and plentiful. They're also quite satisfied with your brother Zhang, otherwise they wouldn't have asked about their marriage."

Hearing this, Luo Yu felt relieved. "That's fine. I was just afraid that my good intentions might backfire and ruin my brother Zhang's marriage."

That's good. With parental support and minimal interference, the couple can live a good life together in the future.

As long as my sister-in-law is focused on living with my brother Zhang, it's not like I can't take care of her family. We have to do what we should, since she's the eldest sister.

If her younger siblings know how to be grateful, my brother Zhang might be able to rely on them in the future.

The two got married and will have children sooner or later. They'll need someone to take care of the kids. Aunt Zhang, you can't do it all by yourself. They'll need to lend a hand from their family.

My mom doesn't have time, and I have so many younger siblings. Could someone just help look after them? Or even take them out to play?
