Chapter 556: Chapter 556

Grandma Gu and Gu’s second aunt exchanged glances.

Then, with a stern face, Grandma Gu said to Gu’s father, "You don’t have to be so biased towards your wife and daughter."

"Mom, where am I biased toward them? I’m going to talk to them now, tell them they’re unfilial—" Gu’s father hurried to speak, pre-empting what Grandma Gu was about to say, "Nuannuan brought a man home, and we didn’t manage to inform you elderly folks in time, it’s all our fault—mine, her mother’s, and hers. Another day, I will have her bring that man over to apologize to both of you old folks."

This statement made Grandma Gu feel much more appeased. The elderly lady was just waiting for the other party to come over and apologize.

Seeing she had won everything she was supposed to win, Grandma Gu left the scene with Gu’s second aunt.

As soon as Grandma left, Gu’s mother immediately tugged at her husband’s sleeve: "What are you talking about? Having Gu Nuan bring Yebai to the elderly folks’ home to apologize, isn’t that just letting two young people be trampled upon by the elderly? What kind of character those two old folks have, you think I don’t know?"

Seeing his wife anxious, Gu’s father had to whisper back, fearful that the older folks could hear even if they were far away, saying, "Didn’t I say another day? Did I specify tomorrow?"

Speaking of craftiness, Gu’s father was really crafty, making an issue out of the timing. Gu’s mother couldn’t help but purse her lips, wanting to praise her husband for being clever.

Speaking of which, Gu’s father mentioned his wife: "You know how Mom is temperamental. By saying these things in front of her, aren’t you provoking her?"

At this point, Gu’s mother gave a mysterious smile, saying, "Your mom was hiding and eavesdropping; I had no idea. Second aunt kept her cool and didn’t give it away, and I got caught in their trap."

Gu’s father was taken aback, then said, "Don’t overthink it. They don’t have so many schemes. If your second brother’s family really had such ability, they would have made a fortune already." Latest content publıshed on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

"Don’t you know? After their household got a new son-in-law, now, they’re said to have bought a new house in the county town, and both dad and mom have moved into her place. They went to the city earlier, probably entertained by that new son-in-law, hence they saw us at the train station picking up our son-in-law."

After hearing what Gu’s mother said, Gu’s father stood there stupefied, obviously, he had no idea about his second brother’s family affairs.

When Gu’s father and Gu’s mother returned home, Xiao Yebai opened the door for them, saying, "Mom, Dad—"

His voice betrayed his concern.

Gu’s mother nodded her head, anger subsiding, feeling only a bit embarrassed as if she had lost face in front of her son-in-law. Now thinking about it, she admitted she had been impulsive at the market and had fallen into the trap of the older folks.

Patting his son-in-law’s shoulder, Gu’s father said, "It’s fine, it’s fine, your mom and grandma just had a spat, it’s been this way for decades, which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not ? Your mom has long accepted this."

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking, what exactly does Grandma Gu have against Gu’s mother? In his eyes, Gu’s mother was so good, with a virtuous character and capable of managing household chores frugally—weren’t these the traits of an excellent daughter-in-law?

While this was happening, Gu’s father took the opportunity as if he had someone to confide all his heartaches to, to give his son-in-law a lesson with his own experiences, saying, "Isn’t it all because I’m not impressive enough, because I’m poor? With poverty, your wife might despise you but still has to follow you, but parents are different, especially when there are siblings—"

Upon hearing Gu’s father’s words, Xiao Yebai seemed to ponder. He thought about his own sisters, who also looked down on him for being a spendthrift. He himself didn’t care because of his thick skin, but if it started to affect his wife, he would have to think seriously about it.

Gu’s mother went into the kitchen and saw her daughter.

Seeing her mother return, Gu Nuan reheated the soy milk for her. Out of the corner of her eye, she could clearly see the hesitation on Gu’s mother’s face as she looked at her.
