Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1708: Shredded Pork in Beijing Sauce 2

After the orderly returned to report, the atmosphere at the dinner table went back to what it was before.

"Who are they? Making such a ruckus." Wang Cuilan hadn’t seen Gu Qing for over twenty years. Plus, he didn’t look like his dad nor like Dr. Guo, so she didn’t recognize him at first.

Feng Qingxue kept signaling her with eye gestures, but she didn’t see them and still asked out loud.

Dr. Guo sighed, indifferent to Wang Cuilan’s question, "Who else could it be? It’s my good-for-nothing son Gu Qing and his wife Shen Xiufen, always siding with her own family, making a mess of my granddaughter’s life. Now their house bears the Shen name, and I suspect their money has been drained by the Shen Family. That’s probably why they’re here today; after all, they never visit the Three Treasures Hall if there’s no reason. I can’t be bothered with them. With any time wasted on anger, I’d rather focus on raising my two granddaughters well and teach them the principles of being good people."

Wang Cuilan consoled, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. You just look after yourself and let them make their own mess."

When there are many trees, there are all kinds of birds. Women like Shen Xiufen, who only care for their own family and neglect their in-laws and children, are everywhere, so it’s not surprising at all.

Commander Gu poured a glass of wine for Cheng Baoguo, "I’ve advised my cousin. He’s a decent man and has talent for military affairs, always meticulous in official duties, never makes a mistake. But he’s weak-hearted and made a mess of his personal life. He pursued Shen Xiufen eagerly and is completely obedient, can’t bear to hear a single bad word about her. It’s a pity because if it weren’t for Shen Xiufen dragging him down, he would at least be at the deputy division level by now."

When it comes to Gu Qing and Shen Xiufen, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu Family never comments in front of Dr. Guo. Commander Gu is different; being part of the Gu Family and Gu Qing’s cousin, he can naturally criticize Gu Qing like an elder brother.

Dr. Guo poked at the rice in his bowl, "Serves him right! Gu Tian, you don’t need to worry about him. Let him do whatever he wants since it’s of his own making and presumably voluntary; he doesn’t care whether he moves up or not. As long as I’m here, Meimei and Minmin’s lives will be fine. If anything happens to me before they are grown up, you as their uncle and aunt should take care of them. I have no other desires in this lifetime."

"Grandma, don’t curse yourself. We’ll all be fine. When I grow up, I’ll be filial to you and uncle and aunt. You must stay safe and healthy until I can be filial to you," Gu Mei’s voice rang out.

Gu Min is a bit introverted but follows in her sister’s footsteps, "Grandma must be well."

Half a year of a life free from worries of food and clothing, without having to suffer beatings or scoldings, made her have immense respect for her grandmother.

Gu Family’s eldest sister-in-law also said, "Aunt, don’t say that. Now that you’re back home and our family’s conditions are better, not like those years of famine, you should just enjoy your old age well."

"Right, Aunt, don’t worry about anything. If my cousin and his wife come and make trouble again, just throw them out. My cousin’s a mute gourd; he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you, so you needn’t worry. If Shen Xiufen doesn’t relent, just say the army is about to kick any unrelated person out of the family compound; I can make that call." Commander Gu is almost sick to death of Shen Xiufen.

Previously he loathed Shen Xiufen, but with Dr. Guo outside, it was enough to secretly support two nieces. Commander Gu couldn’t be bothered with her, but now that she’s disrespectful to Dr. Guo, Commander Gu would shoot her if he could, naturally no longer polite.

Dr. Guo picked up two chopsticks worth of food for his nephew and niece-in-law respectively, "Alright, alright, let’s eat, let’s eat."
