Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Wen Tang had just given half of the melon seeds in her hand to Chi Yue when she heard the shout and looked up.

Then I saw an old lady who was about the same age as Zhong Meixian. The old lady was thin, but had beautiful features. You could tell that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Zhong Meixian looked up and then stood up. "Auntie, what brings you here?"

As he spoke, the man went out to greet them.

Upon hearing Zhong Meixian's voice, the visitor looked towards the main room and said, "Sister-in-law, I've come to see you."

"Have you eaten?"

"Yes, I just ate. Aunt, have you eaten?" Zhong Meixian asked as she moved a stool from the yard to Gu Jin's side. "Sit down!"

He then called out to the kitchen, "Jin Feng, your aunt is here."

Hearing the commotion, Lin Liansheng and Gu Yanli came out of the main room to greet her, both calling out, "Auntie!"

Gu Yanli even went to pour water for the people.

When Gu Jin saw her nephew, her eyes were full of affection. She raised her hand and patted his arm, then asked, "Where's your wife?"

"Auntie," Wen Tang jumped out of the main room as soon as Gu Jin finished speaking, her face beaming with a smile as bright as a crabapple blossom in autumn.

Gu Yanli smiled and raised his chin, "There it is."

Gu Jin had met Wen Tang, her niece-in-law, before.

They only met during the engagement ceremony and the wedding. Wen Tang always had a long face then, especially on the wedding day when he even got into a fight with his nephew's wife.

So when Wen Tang suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jin with such a bright smile, Gu Jin was a little flustered. The old lady, holding her teacup, stood up abruptly, smiling and saying, "Hey, hey."

Chi Yue also came out of the main room, "Great-aunt."

The old lady responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes..."

At this moment, Gu Jinfeng also came out of the kitchen. "Auntie," Gu Jinfeng called out loudly and clearly.

Gu Jin was called again and turned her head, continuing to say, "Hey, hey."

As Gu Jinfeng wiped her hands on her apron, she asked, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Before Gu Jin could answer, she added, "Auntie, you should have come earlier. The fish Xiaoyue cooked at noon was delicious."

Gu Jin's gaze then fell on Chi Yue.

Gu Jinfeng was still saying, "Auntie, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

"Shuhe, Jingshen, and Jiaojiao will all be back tonight."

"Yan Li went fishing this morning and caught several big fish. There are two left at home. We'll cook them together tonight, and you can eat here."

Gu Jin waved her hand, "No, I just came to sit for a while."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Chi Yue and Wen Tang, clearly indicating that she had something to say, and it was about these two people.

Gu Jinfeng said, "Alright, Aunt, please sit down and talk to my mother."

Wen Tang went over and gave her the remaining melon seeds, saying, "Auntie, have some melon seeds."

Gu Jin quickly and happily reached out to catch it, and then looked Wen Tang up and down several times.

As soon as Wen Tang and Chi Yue entered the main room, Gu Jin sat down next to Zhong Meixian and spoke up. Her voice was soft, "I heard that the two new brides got into a fight with the newly arrived educated youth in the brigade?"

Zhong Meixian asked in surprise, "How did you know about this?"

"Sigh, those two educated youths complained to the brigade leader."

"I happen to be right there!"

"The two of them are unwilling, so I, Bu Zhongguo, asked me to come and give you some fresh air."

Captain Xiang Xing, Xu Zhongguo, is the nephew of Gu's uncle.

So when Luo Qiao and Luo Tian went to complain about Wen Tang and Chi Yue, Xu Zhongguo didn't give any immediate response, but instead brushed them off.

Since Gu Jin happened to be there, they asked her to find out what was going on first.

Did Wen Tang and Chi Yue really bully people, or were those two educated youths stirring up trouble?

"The educated youth surnamed Luo said that Yan Li and Jing Shen's wives ganged up on her."

Gu Jin couldn't help but continue, "She even went around telling people that she had never seen such lazy daughters-in-law from either of your families. They slept until noon and did no work. They were idle all day long but caused trouble."

Gu Jin asked Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng, "Yanli's mother, Jinfeng, is that really what happened?"

"You really sleep until the sun is high in the sky and don't do any work?" Although she was her aunt, Gu Jin's face showed a gossipy tone as she spoke.

How could gossip be complete without Wen Tang and Chi Yue!

So before Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng could answer, Wen Tang and Chi Yue had already moved their small stools and sunflower seeds to the center of the gossip.

Upon seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, Zhong Meixian immediately clutched her chest and cried out, "Ouch, ouch!" She looked at Wen Tang, then at Chi Yue, unable to remove her hand from her chest. "You two kids, you... appearing and disappearing like ghosts, you scared me to death!"

Not to mention Zhong Meixian was startled, Gu Jin, who was sitting there with the crickets, was even more taken aback.

"Don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night," Gu Jin quickly picked up her teacup and drank some water, tactically concealing her true feelings.

But the water had only been poured for a short time when Gu Jin drank it, and it was scalding hot.

With a mouthful of water in her mouth, Gu Jin was torn between spitting it out and swallowing it. She immediately began to grumble in her heart about her beloved nephew, "This child, why did you pour such a hot cup of water for me!"

Wen Tang and Chi Yue ate sunflower seeds without any guilt. Wen Tang said innocently, "No, we came here openly and honestly." She then smiled mischievously, "Did Mom do something she felt guilty about?"

Zhong Meixian's eyes immediately darted away, and her tone became weak (although she didn't know why she was being weak), "You child, what...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why...why should I feel guilty?"

After a moment, Gu Jin finally managed to swallow the scalding water. "Niece-in-law, your mother wasn't lying. She didn't say anything!"

"It was me. I overheard a few gossips outside."

As Gu Jin spoke, her gaze lingered between Wen Tang and Chi Yue. "I heard that you two sleep in late every day, sometimes until midday," Gu Jin said, then laughed. "I immediately refuted that, saying, how could that be possible?"

“My niece-in-law and grandniece-in-law are both very hardworking people. They are good at managing both the house and the house. The idea that they sleep in late is just making things up. I gave that person a good scolding.”

Gu Jin was skilled in the art of language; she used a complimenting approach to tell Wen Tang and Chi Yue that they couldn't be so lazy.

The news has already spread far and wide. Don't you two care about your reputation?

Besides, this is just something outsiders are spreading, it has nothing to do with family. Our whole family thinks you two are a good match!

Even if we don't say anything, what others say is still nasty. You have to go out eventually, and it's so unpleasant to hear!

So if it's true, you must change it!

If you change, you're a good kid.

Such words might work on a shy new bride, but they won't work on Wen Tang and Chi Yue...

Wen Tang wants to donate her face to make bulletproof vests.

So Wen Tang blushed and rubbed her hands, feeling very embarrassed. "You're right, Auntie. I'm not good at social graces or cooking, but I can scold my husband and beat his mother."
