At noon, Zhu Jiaorong, the mistress of the Zhan family, cooked a table of dishes to entertain the two pairs of daughters and sons-in-law. Zhan Bo was in a good mood and took out two bottles of good wine to drink with his two sons-in-law.
Zhan Mingkang still stayed in his room and didn't come out. Zhu Jiaorong prepared a meal for him, knocked on the door, and put the meal at his door.
Zhan Mingkang had no backbone this time. As soon as Zhu Jiaorong left, he couldn't wait to open the door and brought in a big bowl of food outside. Zhan Mingkang picked up the chopsticks and wolfed down a few mouthfuls.
After temporarily relieving his hunger, Zhan Mingkang's mind became clearer. He looked towards the door, walked to it, lay on the door panel of his room, and eavesdropped on the sounds outside.
He heard the warm sounds of a reunion outside, as well as the occasional noises of children laughing. The most piercing sound was that of his father Zhanbo, who laughed heartily and kept calling out words like "good grandson" and "my good son-in-law".
Zhan Mingkang laughed coldly in his heart. He opened the door and walked out. He told you guys to eat and drink well, but he was going to overturn the table.
Zhan Mingkang strode into the hall. Everyone at the table stopped what they were doing, except for the two babies. Zhu Jiaorong looked at him happily, "Xiaokang, come and eat with us."
Zhan Mingkang threw the book in his hand over, aiming to hit the food and wine on the round table.
Zhu Jiaorong was frightened by his action. When Zhan Mingkang threw the book out, he felt very happy. He thought, "If I can't eat it, you can't eat it either!" He was going to smash everything on the table and let them eat nothing!
However, he never expected that the book he threw did not hit the food on the round table. Gu Sheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He turned around and quickly picked up the round plate used to hold the fish and threw it in the direction of Zhan Mingkang. The fish plate hit the book and knocked the book off. The fishy fish soup spilled all over the floor and Zhan Mingkang's face was also splashed with the soup. A dead fish happened to hit him in the face and then fell to the ground.
The others were shocked by this sudden change.
Gu Sheng stood up, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong upper arm muscles, took a few steps forward, looked down at Zhan Mingkang, and said coldly:
"What do you want to do?"
Zhan Mingkang was overshadowed by his tall figure. Even at noon, he could feel a bone-chilling chill. Gu Sheng had his back to the crowd. There was no warmth or tenderness on his handsome face. Instead, it was filled with hostility. The coldness in his eyes cut into him like a knife.
Zhan Mingkang was frightened by his gaze and dared not move. He was afraid that Gu Sheng would get impulsive and beat him in the next second.
He swallowed and took a step back.
Zhan Bo was very annoyed at this time. He picked up the book on the ground and covered Zhan Mingkang's face with it. He was hit on the face with a "slap". After the crisp sound, his cheek felt hot and painful.
The next second, he heard Zhan Bo angrily scolding Zhu Jiaorong: "Why don't you send him back to his room? How long are you going to embarrass yourself?"
Zhan Bo was so angry that he wanted to die. On the table was the Moutai liquor that he had collected for many years. If Zhan Mingkang knocked it over, he would be so angry that he would strangle him to death.
Zhu Jiaorong was extremely panicked. She came forward and pulled Zhan Mingkang, desperately winking at him, "Go back, go back."
Zhan Mingkang's legs and feet were weak. He didn't dare to act rashly, because among the people gathered at the table, except Zhu Jiaorong, no one really cared about him, and Zhan Bo had more than one son and daughter.
Now he has his own grandchildren.
Zhan Mingkang's face was cold. He was angry and wanted to make trouble, but when he turned around and saw his brother-in-law Gu Sheng, he shuddered when he remembered his expression just now.
This man will not show mercy to his men.
Zhan Mingkang followed his mother back to his room with his body stiff. His room was in a mess with almost no place to step. Zhu Jiaorong simply helped him clean up, but Zhan Mingkang slapped her in the face, stunning her.
Zhan Mingkang threw the food he had just prepared onto the ground again.
Only in front of Zhu Jiaorong did he dare to lose his temper so capriciously, because he knew in his heart that this woman would tolerate him no matter what.
Zhu Jiaorong had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that her own son would beat her mercilessly and look at her with an expression of contempt and disgust.
Zhan Mingkang asked, "Why are you so useless? You have no status in this family at all?"
Zhu Jiaorong's head was buzzing, and she didn't know how to react. But at this moment, Zhanbo's voice came from outside: "Zhu Jiaorong, don't worry about your child for now, come out and clean up."
Zhu Jiaorong responded hastily. She didn't dare to look at her son. She turned and ran out of the room, not forgetting to close the door.
Zhan Mingkang looked at her hurriedly leaving figure, and became angry again. He picked up the dishes and chopsticks that had fallen on the ground and smashed them to pieces again.
But at this moment, his stomach started to growl. The few bites of food he had eaten before were not enough to fill his stomach.
The food in the room was scattered all over the floor by him. The hot food still gave off a scent, constantly tempting the glutton in his stomach.
Zhan Mingkang swallowed his saliva. He was so hungry that he had an inexplicable urge to pick up the food on the ground.
When he found himself grabbing a piece of pork ribs from the ground like a possessed person, Zhan Mingkang was shocked. He threw the ribs in his hand away. His hands were covered with oil. He should have wiped it on his clothes, but he subconsciously licked his palms.
When he looked more closely, he found that the oil in the palm of his hand was stained with black ash.
Zhan Mingkang looked particularly unhappy, hesitating between going out and picking up food from the ground.
The only bit of backbone he had left prevented him from opening the door and going out, but asking him to eat the food that had fallen on the ground was absolutely impossible.
In the past, Zhan Mingkang was always taught by Zhan Bo not to waste food, but Zhan Mingkang never took it to heart.
He knew he would never go hungry.
He was the youngest in the family. Even in the most difficult times, no one could starve him. He ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks. His sister and brother ate the bran and vegetables he left over. He ate white flour and they ate coarse flour. He ate meat while his brothers and sisters drank soup and ate a few bones.
Zhan Mingkang never had a sense of crisis, nor did he realize that not only his brothers and sisters had grown up, but he himself had grown up as well.
He can no longer enjoy the special privileges at home as before.
Zhu Jiaorong cleaned up the debris on the ground, and the people sitting outside soon resumed their lively atmosphere. This little episode did not disturb Zhanbo's good mood. At this moment, he did not think about his little son at all, but was thinking about not losing face in front of his two sons-in-law.
“Let’s continue eating and drinking. The child is young and doesn’t know anything. Leave him alone. I’ll deal with him later. It’s because his mother controls him too much…” Zhan Bo smiled and took a sip of wine, forgetting all the unpleasant things.
Zhan Bo was very satisfied with Gu Sheng as his son-in-law. When he saw Zhan Aiping, he couldn't help but think of Ai Feihong. His heart was extremely excited and he recalled many things from his youth.
Although he always complained about his wife when Ai Feihong was around, now that so many years have passed, when he thinks of her again, he only thinks of her best side.
Zhan Aiping was his first daughter and the child he cared for the most. It was his first time as a father... Now that she was married and had children, Zhan Bo was filled with emotion.
Being over fifty years old and without much expectations, Zhan Aiping married Gu Sheng and became the vice president of the hospital. Zhan Bo was relieved about her future. Although Zhan Aijia was not his biological daughter and had to be someone else's stepmother, she married a good partner with a bright future. With two such sons-in-law, even if his son did not live up to his expectations, most people would look up to him when he went out.
Ever since his wife left, he has suffered a lot of grievances and has been ignored by everyone... But now, the way people in the unit look at him has changed. Even if there are people who mock him for having a stepmother for his youngest daughter, Zhanbo knows that person is jealous. Although he is angry, he is also secretly proud of himself.
Not only did his two daughters marry well, but his eldest son Zhan Mingzhao actually joined the art troupe and was selected to go to the capital for rehearsals and performances during the Chinese New Year. He was also going to make a movie, which made him very proud.
Zhanbo is a person who cares more about whoever gives him face.
Others used to laugh at him for being a coward, not as good as his wife Ai Feihong, and for being a gigolo. Zhan Bo always felt resentful about it. Later, he married Zhu Jiaorong, a wife who regarded him as her heaven. This made him very proud. Zhan Bo then sided with Zhu Jiaorong and showed off his masculinity.
It's a pity that Zhu Jiaorong couldn't give him much face and couldn't help him with work. When Ai Feihong was around, he had such a wife and no one dared to trip him up. Now that Ai Feihong is gone, he is no longer ridiculed as a gigolo, but he is incompetent and is suppressed in his career, so he can only show off at home.
Because of the setbacks he had suffered in the past few years, Zhan Bo missed Ai Feihong's kindness more and more. Why should he do this when she was around
What's the point of being arrogant at home? Being arrogant outside and being envied and jealous is a person's glory.
What is bothering Zhanbo right now is that he cannot hold his head high in front of his colleagues at work, and that people dare not look down on him. Being a good wife and mother at home does not make people around him envy and hate him, and flatter him.
But after he had two powerful sons-in-law and promising children, some people began to envy and jealous him, which made Zhanbo very comfortable.
His two daughters and eldest son brought him honor, but his youngest son seemed not so good enough. He was unreliable and might even bring him shame in the future.
People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, and Zhanbo subconsciously favors his two daughters and eldest son.
He also cared less and less about Zhu Jiaorong and her son.
"Jia Jia, you should eat more too, and live a good life with your brother Gangzi in the future." Even though he seemed to dislike the fact that Zhan Aijia had lost face by being someone else's stepmother, Zhan Bo was actually very happy.
Ignoring his age and Lin Gang’s first two wives, Lin Gang is indeed a rare and good partner.
Hearing her stepfather's warm tone, Zhan Aija felt very comfortable at this moment. She felt that she had married the right person. She was no longer the stepdaughter who depended on others. Look, Zhan Bo's tone said it all.
Being able to hold her head high in front of Zhan Bo can soothe Zhan Aija's heart and is more joyful than showing off in front of Zhan Aiping.
To her, Zhan Aiping was just a sister whom she had not seen very often and was not familiar with. Although she was jealous of her, Zhan Aiping did not mean much to her.
All the grievances she had endured in the Zhan family over the years were caused by her mother Zhu Jiaorong, her younger brother Zhan Mingkang, and her "stepfather" who was domineering at home and looked down on her.
It feels better to be proud in front of the Zhan family than to defeat Zhan Aiping.
Zhan Aijia was in a very good mood. She looked at Zhu Jiaorong proudly for a few times. When she saw that Zhu Jiaorong looked unhappy, she became even more proud.
Zhan Aijia covered her mouth and smiled. She wanted to let her biological mother know that Zhan Mingkang, that loser, was unreliable. If Zhu Jiaorong wanted to rely on her daughter in her old age, she might as well do so.
Come and please her quickly.
"Dad, I'd like to have two drinks with you today." Zhan Aija was in a good mood and actually drank two glasses of wine.
Zhu Jiaorong was in a bad mood and moved her chopsticks reluctantly.
Zhan Aiping didn't drink. She ate and looked after the two children. Gu Sheng and Lin Gang, the brothers-in-law, accompanied Zhan Bo to drink. Zhan Bo pulled them together and said that today was a good day and they must drink enough.
Gu Sheng could drink a lot, so Zhan Aiping was not worried about him. She finished her meal quickly and fed the two children.
Everyone at this round table has different thoughts.
Zhan Aiping and his wife were neither happy nor unhappy, they were just dealing with the situation; the two little kids ate their meals and talked to their mother obediently; Zhan Aijia and Zhan Bo, the non-biological father and daughter, were in the best mood; and the worst mood were Zhu Jiaorong and Lin Gang, the mother-in-law and son-in-law.
Zhu Jiaorong was so worried about her son that she couldn't eat, while Lin Gang was uncomfortable with Zhanbo's attitude.
Although both are Zhanbo's sons-in-law, it is obvious that Zhanbo prefers Gu Sheng more, calling him a good son-in-law all the time, while he, the new son-in-law, is neglected.
Lin Gang has made it to his current position, and he has never been treated so coldly. His first two fathers-in-law were both very kind to him. How could anyone be like Zhan Bo
What’s more, Gu Sheng is seven or eight years younger than him. That’s just his age on paper. He is actually younger than him... Lin Gang couldn’t save face.
Gu Sheng is the “brother-in-law”, but he is older, so shouldn’t we respect him a little more
Even though he wanted to be on good terms with Gu Sheng, Lin Gang, as his brother-in-law, still wanted to overshadow Gu Sheng.
He is the "big brother" with experience and knowledge, while Gu Sheng is just a nerd with a good family background and good reading skills. As far as marriage is concerned, Gu Sheng is just a young man who has been married for two years, while Lin Gang is already marrying his third wife.
Lin Gang wanted to act like an elder brother in front of Gu Sheng. He wanted Gu Sheng, his brother-in-law, to respect and admire him, and to educate him in the tone of an elder senior.
Lin Gang was drunk and didn't know how to control his words. He boasted in front of Gu Sheng: "Although you are my brother-in-law, you still have to ask me for advice on matters related to women and children."
Gu Sheng smiled: "I don't have much experience."
Lin Gang said loudly: "Women need to be disciplined. In our hometown, if a woman dares to disobey, she will be beaten."
His voice was so loud that everyone in the room heard it. Lin Gang was drunk. Zhan Aiping glanced at him and then looked at Zhan Aijia. Zhan Aijia's mouth twitched, while Zhu Jiaorong remained silent.
Zhanbo poured himself a glass of wine and said nothing, let alone any interest in interrupting.
Beat women
His daughter Zhan Aiping is not someone who would swallow her anger. If Gu Sheng dares to bully her, it will not be his daughter who will suffer the consequences.
His daughter has a pair of twin children, and her parents-in-law like them, so Zhanbo really has nothing to worry about.
As for Zhan Aijia, she got married and lived the life of her own choice, and Zhan Bo had nothing to say.
Just don't get divorced.
"Brother-in-law, isn't that right?" Lin Gang looked at Gu Sheng with amusement. He was just pretending to be crazy and stupid under the influence of alcohol, wanting to create unpleasantness between the couple.
If Gu Sheng said he didn't dare to fight, he would laugh at him for being a coward and a lack of manliness, saying that young people can't compare to the older generation and are afraid of their wives; if Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping were angry, he would say that he was drunk and was just joking, why did you take it seriously? You young people really can't stand being joked...
He just wanted to make them both unhappy.
But he never expected that he would hear another three words from Gu Sheng's mouth.
Gu Sheng said calmly: "I can't beat him."
Lin Gang was suddenly surprised to hear this answer that he had never expected. For a moment he didn't know how to react. Should he fight...could he not win
Can't beat your own wife
Lin Gang: “…”
Zhan Aijia: “…”
Zhan Bo took a sip of wine and had no other reaction. His daughter had fought and was quite cruel, not to mention that she had sent Gu Sheng to the emergency room.
It's reasonable for Gu Sheng to be afraid of her.
He found it unbelievable that Gu Sheng dared to marry Zhan Aiping.
Maybe Zhan Aiping has a bad temper in front of her man, and bullies Gu Sheng at home, making Gu Sheng dare not speak out, just like that woman Ai Feihong.
Like mother, like daughter.
He also suffered a lot from this in the past, and he understands the feeling of being a coward better than anyone else.
Ever since he met Zhan Aiping yesterday and saw her face that was similar to his mother's, Ai Feihong's figure became clearer and clearer in front of him.
Gu Sheng said yesterday that he was cooking at home...
I think Gu Sheng, the son-in-law, must have suffered the same hardship as his old father-in-law.
Zhanbo felt both sympathy and liking for Gu Sheng. He thought that a man like Gu Sheng was a coward and was afraid of his wife. Zhanbo felt very comfortable in his heart. The more he thought that Gu Sheng was afraid of his wife, the more comfortable he felt.
"Fight, but can't beat him?" Lin Gang forced a smile on his face. He thought that his brother-in-law was really good at joking.
He had never met a man like this before.
Lin Gang glanced at Gu Sheng's physique, then looked at the pretty Zhan Aiping, and found it a little funny. Just now when Gu Sheng rolled up his sleeves, his solid muscles and the aura around him were visible, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide it.
Even Lin Gang guessed that he couldn't beat Gu Sheng, but Gu Sheng was so henpecked, he was so cowardly, and he still said nonsense that he "couldn't beat him."
This brother-in-law is quite interesting.
"'Brother-in-law', please stop joking." Lin Gang called him brother-in-law with a hint of sarcasm in his mind.
Gu Sheng said seriously: "I'm not kidding, brother-in-law, you don't know that my wife is a retired female soldier. She is very skilled. If I really fight with her, I will be in big trouble."
Lin Gang: “…”
Lin Gang thought that this was getting more and more outrageous.
This "eldest brother-in-law" actually had the nerve to call him "brother-in-law".
Lin Gang looked at Zhan Aiping with amusement. Although Zhan Aiping was holding the little glutinous rice balls, she smiled provocatively: "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? You don't believe it, how about we fight a few moves?"
Zhan Aiping looked at Lin Gang's figure and judged that his skills had been wasted over the years. He was almost forty years old and was no longer a young man.
Lin Gang was stunned. Gu Sheng’s answer had already confused him, and Zhan Aiping’s answer made his jaw drop. Did the couple come here together to play a joke
Was this couple trying to tease him on purpose
Zhan Aiping said aggressively: "Brother-in-law, you are not a coward, you dare not fight with me."
Zhan Aiping had long been fed up with him and now she was laughing at him.
Lin Gang said: "Why don't I dare? I'm afraid of hurting you, big sister."
Zhan Aiping said, "How about this, you are drunk now, and I can't beat you. When you sober up tomorrow, we will have a fight and show you what it means to be as good as a man."
"Okay." Lin Gang laughed in his heart, thinking that Zhan Aiping must be joking and deliberately said that she would definitely not dare to fight him tomorrow.
He must seize the opportunity to humiliate her once. "Sister, I will take what you said seriously. Jiajia, you must remember this. If your sister doesn't dare to come tomorrow, every time we see your sister in the future, we must laugh at her and mention this matter."
Zhan Aijia said with a smile: "Sister Pingping, you are so skilled, you will definitely not be afraid."
Zhan Aiping didn't even raise her eyelids: "I'm afraid that you, Jiajia, will be heartbroken by then."
"As my brother-in-law, if I want to marry my sister, I should at least pass the test of being her elder sister."
*
By the next morning, Lin Gang, who had been drinking yesterday afternoon, had long since sobered up and took the initiative to talk to Zhan Aiping about what happened yesterday. Lin Gang deliberately asked, "Sister, do you take what you said yesterday seriously?"
If Zhan Aiping was serious, he would teach her a lesson. If he fought with such a beautiful young girl, he could also take advantage of her. When a man and a woman fight, the man is never the one who suffers.
If Zhan Aiping said it was a joke, Lin Gang would laugh at and tease the couple.
Zhan Aiping raised her eyebrows and said, "Seriously, I'm just afraid that you, my brother-in-law, won't do it."
Zhan Aiping changed into an old military uniform, braided her hair, and went outside with Lin Gang to practice martial arts. Gu Sheng brought the two children out. He was worried about his wife, and even more worried about the two children, so he had to stay with the three of them all the time.
Zhan Aijia was in high spirits, waiting to watch the show.
When the family walked outside, they attracted a lot of attention. People in the compound came to watch the fun and talked about it, "The eldest aunt wants to compete with her brother-in-law."
"That's Zhan Da Pingping. She's become prettier and has become a mother."
"… "
Zhan Aiping flexed her wrists and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't be polite to you. If you want to marry my sister, you have to ask me, your elder sister—"
After saying that, Zhan Aiping rushed forward directly. It had been a long time since she had competed with anyone in martial arts, and most of the time she was forced to defend herself. When competing with a grown man like Lin Gang, there was no need for her to think about showing mercy.
When he was young, Zhan Aiping didn't know how to fight. Later, he became proficient in medicine and knew the human bones and meridian acupoints. Zhan Aiping knew best where the human body was weakest.
Although she lacks strength, she is agile in attack, has a fast burst speed, and can attack with precision.
Zhan Aiping feinted at the first move, causing the careless Lin Gang to be kicked by her. Lin Gang stepped back a few steps and said, "Big sister is really ruthless, but I have to be serious-"
Before he could finish this sentence, he was beaten by Zhan Aiping. Zhan Aiping was not a polite person, so she wanted to teach him a lesson. She also knew that she had to press on while the victory was won and not give Lin Gang a chance to react, so she had to cut the Gordian knot.
Later TV dramas taught her that villains die because they talk too much.
Therefore, never give people a chance to react.
She wanted to take advantage of Lin Gang's carelessness to make him completely defeated. If Lin Gang refused to accept the defeat, she would laugh at him for being a man who couldn't afford to lose.
Who doesn’t know how to play with heart
Zhan Aiping was so ruthless that everyone around her was stunned. After the fight, Zhan Aiping deliberately said in front of everyone: "With a sister like me, you should be careful when you bully my sister in the future."
Everyone applauded, "Pa pa pa pa", and they cheered:
"Well done, well done!"
"Yes, the girls in our compound cannot be bullied."
"A heroine!"
"Zhan Aijia, you have a good sister!"
Zhan Aijia's face looked extremely ugly. Facing other people's congratulations, she couldn't smile at all. Lin Gang had lost face in front of Zhan Aiping, so wouldn't it be retribution for him in the future
How could Zhan Aiping support her
Lin Gang was angry, and she would not have a good time.
Zhan Aijia forced a smile on her face: "It's my brother Gangzi who is giving in to my elder sister, right, brother Gangzi."
"It's not easy for you to marry a wife like me. I know you just care about me too much..."
Zhan Aijia spoke incoherently to comfort Lin Gang, but Lin Gang's face became more and more uglier.
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Now you know that my wife is not an ordinary person."
Lin Gang: "I was just... careless. I didn't expect you to be so rude, big sister."
Zhan Aiping smiled slightly, pretending to be profound. She didn't say anything, just smiled.
She didn't need to speak at this moment, because the people around her were just watching the fun and were not afraid of making trouble. They said, "I'm afraid he's too old."
"I'm old now, I can't afford to lose anymore, I'm no longer good at this..."
"He's quite old, and he's still a brother-in-law. I heard that this is his third marriage."
Zhan Aijia and his wife both looked very unhappy, but Zhan Bo was quite happy. He said, "My Pingping looks just like her mother when she was young."
Hearing him mention Ai Feihong, Zhan Aiping sneered silently twice.
Zhu Jiaorong felt upset and turned to look at her son's window.
Zhan Aijia was extremely upset and cursed Zhan Aiping in her heart, thinking that she, as the "eldest sister", would become old and ugly sooner or later.
Women always age faster than men.
Gu Sheng is only two years older than Zhan Aiping. Now that Zhan Aiping has given birth to a child, she will soon grow old. She will be busy taking care of the child's affairs and working hard every day, becoming old and ugly.
By that time, Zhan Aiping will no longer be beautiful, but Gu Sheng will still be a handsome man. Wouldn't this man be tempted by something else
Men always like young and beautiful women. Lin Gang is so old and he has married two wives, but he still has the nerve to marry such a young and beautiful wife.
Men are all like this. Gu Sheng will be like this too. Zhan Aiping's children will have a stepmother sooner or later. If you don't believe me, just wait and see.
Lin Gang was a dozen years older than her, so Zhan Aijia was not afraid that he would be unfaithful again. What else could he do? She was that young, beautiful and charming wife.
What Zhan Aijia was thinking was unknown to her husband Lin Gang, who was shocked at the moment.
Lin Gang regretted marrying a woman like Zhan Aijia. Look at her stepfather, her biological mother, her biological brother, and her "eldest sister" and "eldest brother-in-law."
—This family is not easy to deal with.
After going back to her parents' home with her, he broadened his horizons.
I’m convinced!
*
After lunch at around eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhan Aiping and her family had to leave early. They bought tickets and had to continue to go to the home of their parents-in-law, Gu Ze'an. Gu Xiangyi had already gone back by then.
Gu Sheng carried the luggage, and Zhan Aiping took the two children, "Say goodbye to grandpa."
The sweet and sour pork brother and sister were very obedient, just like a repeater, they said honestly: "Goodbye, Grandpa."
"Come and visit us often in the future." Zhanbo smiled happily. He really loved his two little grandchildren.
Zhu Jiaorong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the plague god in this family had finally been sent away and that they could now live a peaceful life.
Children are all debts, so she also needs to quickly drive away Zhan Aijia, the debt collector, and tell her not to bother the Zhan family anymore.
Zhan Aijia didn't want to stay in the Zhan family for long, so she stayed for a while in the afternoon and left with Lin Gang and his wife.
*
Zhan Aiping and her family got on the train again. This time the journey was not far and they would arrive in the evening. Zhan Aiping felt relaxed, thinking that they would not have to suffer on the road anymore.
They bought sleeper tickets, and she took the two babies to play on the hard sleeper for a while. The two children had the habit of taking a nap, and the brother and sister fell asleep leaning on each other.
Zhan Aiping supported her chin with her hand and looked at the scenery outside. Thinking about the trip she had returned to her mother's home these two days, she felt very emotional.
Her father Zhan Bo is old, Zhan Mingkang has grown up, Zhan Aijia is married, and after a while, her younger brother Zhan Mingzhao will get married...
Gu Sheng asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhan Aiping looked at him and smiled: "I want to go to your 'boudoir' and take a look."
Gu Sheng smiled: "Do you want to find your diary?"
Zhan Aiping said: "I'm going to find the love letter you wrote to me."
Gu Sheng looked out the window at the fields passing by quickly, and listened to the clanking sound of the train. His eyes became more gentle: "When we get there, I'll let you look for it slowly."
He is going to take his wife and children home to meet his parents.
*
Gu Xiangyi arrived at Gu's house earlier than Gu Sheng and the others. When she rushed home from afar, her third brother Gu Laosan was also there. Laosan was a navy man and usually sailed at sea. His base was on an island and he seldom went home. When he was at sea, he had no news from him. Gu Xiangyi was very surprised to see him.
"What a rare guest! The third brother is back too."
Gu Lao San glared at her and said, "Can you speak? You are the one who called me Lao San. Call me San Ge."
Gu Xiangyi only replied with three words: "Lie le le."
Gu Laosan: “…”
"You can't get married."
Gu Xiangyi chuckled: "Whether I get married or not is none of your business."
"That's right." Gu Laosan despised her very much: "Even Zhan Da Pingping can get married, so you can definitely get married, as long as you meet a stupid man."
"Old Five is tall and good-looking, but he is tall for nothing. He has never had any brains since he was a child. He is a fool."
Gu Xiangyi sighed: "I don't know who the person is who has been played around by this little brother since he was a child."
"My brother doesn't have a brain, and some people may have even less brains."
"It's just like the fish in the water. They look smart and slippery, but they are actually very stupid. If you just casually cast a net, you will be caught in it."
Third Brother Gu shook his head: "He could do such a stupid thing as marrying Zhan Aiping, how smart can he be?"
Gu Laosan still remembers that Zhan Aiping sent Gu Sheng to the hospital for emergency treatment. If it were him, he would not dare to marry such a dangerous woman.
His younger brother Gu Sheng is a "ruthless guy".
It is said that they got married out of spite.
Third brother Gu was far away "overseas" and had no idea how this pair of enemies got together. He gave his brother some "gifts" out of pity and shed a few crocodile tears, expressing his concern for his brother's miserable married life.
But unexpectedly, this pair of enemies met on a narrow road and actually gave birth to a pair of "boy and girl twins".
Third brother Gu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. When he heard that fifth brother's family was coming back, he asked for leave and hurried back to broaden his horizons.
"Don't underestimate me. My brother and sister-in-law have a very good relationship. They are inseparable." Gu Xiangyi stood firmly on her brother's side.
Third Brother Gu: "It's ok to lie to my parents, but it's fine to lie to me. If they can be so close, it's better to chop off my head and kick it like a ball."
"If you make up a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies. Our parents are not at home right now, so just tell me the truth."
Gu Laosan didn't believe how inseparable Laowu and his wife were. They must be lying and trying to fool Gu Ze'an and his wife. Laowu was simply a fool trying to get the skin of a tiger. Unfortunately, his parents were stupid and were fooled by Laowu.
In front of his parents, Gu Laosan did not expose the lie. Now that the couple is coming back, he will see how this pair of "enemies on a narrow road" will continue to act.
Gu Xiangyi looked at Gu Laosan as if he were a fool: "Third brother, I think in our family, the youngest brother is the smartest, and you are the least intelligent."
Her younger brother is living such a happy life now, marrying his childhood sweetheart, having a wife and children, and living a very comfortable life. However, her third brother, who is a drifter on the sea, actually treats her younger brother like a fool.
He himself is a big fool.
Gu Xiangyi felt very sorry for him.
Third Brother Gu said, "With a little sister like you around, how could I be the one with the least brains?"
His younger sister, Gu Xiangyi, is easier to deceive than his parents. She is probably played around by the fifth brother and his wife.
Third Brother Gu pitied her and said, "Little sister, little sister, do you know that you are a stupid piglet? Even if your fifth brother and his wife sold you, you would still happily count money for them."
"You are an accomplice to the evil, helping them deceive their parents. You still think you are very smart and that you are right. Aren't you ridiculous?"
"They are childhood sweethearts. He is still infatuated with Lao Wu. He also likes Zhan Da Ping Ping. Why doesn't the sun rise in the west?"
"Go on, keep making up stories. I came back just to see how you continued making up stories. You're better at making up stories than making up stories."
"If we hadn't grown up together, I would have been deceived."
Gu Xiangyi: "Third brother, you are a stupid ass, really, you are a big stupid ass, why are you so stubborn, haven't you learned to think? Why do you always look at problems with the perspective of the past? You need to have a developmental mindset and a developmental perspective..."
Brother Gu: “That’s nonsense.”
