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

She looked shy and embarrassed. Gu Jin had expected to hear a heartfelt reflection from the young man, but...

Gu Jin looked at her sister-in-law in disbelief, then at her niece, and both of them lowered their heads.

Zhong Meixian: Oh no, now everyone knows that I, as the mother-in-law, have to put up with my daughter-in-law's temper!

Gu Jinfeng: God help me, please shut my daughter-in-law up, let my sister-in-law talk all by herself, may she have all the mouths!

There's a saying that goes, "What you fear most is what comes to pass." After Wen Tang gave Gu Jin the first shock, Chi Yue followed up with the second shock: "I just have trouble getting out of bed, I love cooking, my husband earns money, my mother-in-law cooks, and my sister-in-law washes my underwear."

"I have quite a temper, I'm pretty tall, and I'm a bit picky about life."

Gu Jin “…”

Wen Tang's words had already shocked her, but the result...

Gu Jinfeng: It's over, the Lin family's sky has fallen too.

Wen Tang, however, said, "Your requirements are not high. You didn't expect your husband to be as handsome as Pan An and earn eight million a day."

"I certainly didn't ask my mother-in-law to dance for me."

"That's fine, marrying you is a blessing."

Gu Jinfeng looked down at herself. Dancing?

Is it okay to do the Yangko dance?

Wen Tang praised her, so how could Chi Yue not support her best friend?

So Chi Yue also said, "I think you are easy to talk to. You didn't slap your mother-in-law, you didn't kick your father-in-law, and you didn't hit your brother-in-law with your left hand or slap your sister-in-law with your right hand. You have a good temper."

Gu Jin “…”

Do these two have some misunderstanding about what it means to be good-tempered and good-natured?

Wen Tang was quite pleased with herself. She cracked sunflower seeds and said proudly, "That's right. I'm tall, have long legs, fair skin, and am pretty. I also have a sweet tongue. I even know to run home when it rains. Whoever marries me will be very lucky."

Gu Jin “…”

Gu Jin picked up the teacup again to drink water. Fortunately, the water was no longer hot this time. She took a sip, then another, and quickly gulped down the nearly half-full cup of water.

Wen Tang laughed and said, "Auntie, don't just drink tea, eat some melon seeds!"

Holding the melon seeds, Gu Jin could only reply, "Okay, okay, you...you're a good child."

Wen Tang immediately smiled happily, "That's right, everyone has always said I'm a good kid since I was little, and that I'm tall, have long legs, and know how to get things done."

Gu Jin could only smile and nod, "Yes, yes."

"Auntie, shall I go and pour you another cup of tea?"

Gu Jin quickly shook her head, "No need, no need, I'll go back right now," she said as she stood up.

Wen Tang and the others saw the people to the door. Wen Tang and Chi Yue went inside, but Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng didn't. Gu Jin quickly grabbed her sister-in-law's hand, "These two... are so fierce?"

Thinking that her sister-in-law was no stranger, Zhong Meixian sighed, "She won't let me, the old woman, speak loudly."

Gu Jin swallowed hard. "Can't you control anything at all?"

Zhong Meixian shook her head. "I'm so old, do you think I can take a beating?"

Gu Jin couldn't believe it. "She really dares to hit you?"

"She dared to hit Yan Li, if she hit me, do you think I could beat her?"

"Moreover..." Zhong Meixian glanced behind her, and only said when she saw no one was around, "If I really dare to make a move, she won't stay with your nephew anymore."

Gu Jin didn't believe it. "Where can a divorced woman go?"

Zhong Meixian didn't know where to go, but

"You should think about it. She's divorced from your nephew. Do you think your nephew will let me have an easy time?"

"He spoils his children terribly!"

"Moreover, she and Jing Shen's wife are very close. If she divorces him, Jing Shen's wife will run away too."

"People will laugh at us to death then."

Gu Jin was speechless now, which was truly laughable.

"Then... what about those two educated youths?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Meixian remained calm. "This isn't entirely Xiaotang and Xiaoyue's fault," Zhong Meixian said, still protective of her own. Although neither Wentang nor Chiyue were the daughters-in-law she was satisfied with, as long as they were in her own home, she knew who to stand up for.

As she spoke, she recounted what had happened that morning.

“She insulted Yan Li, so Xiao Tang pushed her. If anything, it was Xiao Tang who made a fool of herself. She didn’t listen to Xiao Tang’s complaint.”

Gu Jin nodded. "Okay, I understand."

"Well... I'm afraid the whole brigade will know that the two of them are lazy after this," Gu Jin said after some hesitation.

At this point, Zhong Meixian and Gu Jinfeng fell silent.

After a long pause, Gu Jinfeng finally spoke up, "Let them say what they want. They have mouths on their own bodies, so they can say whatever they want. Their daughters-in-law are all hardworking and capable, but they haven't managed to make a fortune for their family."

Gu Jin didn't say anything more, only saying, "Alright, I'll go back then. You two can go in too!"

Gu Jin was truly traumatized. "Don't linger any longer, or those two will come out again."

She waved her hand and walked away quickly.

Gu Jin walked quickly, as if a ghost were chasing her in broad daylight.

After arriving home, I drank a whole mug of water as soon as I entered the door.

Gu Jin was originally a very picky person when it came to her daughter-in-law. She herself was capable when she was young, and she was good at everything, both inside and outside the house, and she was good at taking care of the children.

So after marrying her sons, she didn't think highly of any of the three daughters-in-law's work.

But when she returned from the Gu family home today, and looked around at her house—one woman busy with chores in the yard, another with her daughter-in-law taking care of the child (and yet another had gone to work in the fields)—Gu Jin felt there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.

At the very least, all three daughters-in-law in the family are hardworking people.

Since her three daughters-in-law joined the family, she hasn't had to lift a finger for any of the household chores, big or small.

The three daughters-in-law could never outmaneuver their mother-in-law, even if they joined forces. If they were like those two…

Gu Jin got up and drank another teacup of water, this time scooping up well water and drinking it directly.

After drinking a cup of ice-cold well water, Gu Jin finally felt a little better.

Not long after, Xu Zhongguo arrived at the door, "Third Aunt..."

"Oh, Zhongguo."

Xu Zhongguo came to ask Gu Jin about the details of the matter, and Gu Jin explained the situation to her.

Although Wen Tang and Chi Yue's "fierceness" was unexpected, she still gave a rather biased account of the situation.

After saying that, Gu Jin added indignantly, "Zhongguo, isn't this bullying?"

"Even if they are educated youth from the city, they shouldn't bully us like this, don't you think?"

"That day, Yan Li did save that girl named Luo Tian. It's one thing for those two brats not to be grateful, but how could they come to our door and curse at us?"

"She's swearing, how can Yan Li's wife stand up for that?"

"How can we avoid conflict?"

“They fought back, but they didn’t get the better of you, so they came to you to complain. Tell me, is that something a human being would do?”

After listening, Xu Zhongguo also had his own opinion about Luo Qiao: "Okay, Third Aunt, now that you say so, I understand."

"I never wanted to keep that girl in the first place."

"I'm afraid it's a troublemaker, and keeping it around would only cause more harm."

"And I wasn't wrong. On his first day, instead of working, he went to get into a fight."

"Hey, I'm not going to chat with you anymore, Auntie. I'm going to the fields to arrange for people to work."
