Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 141: The Chen Family Brings Good News

The old man spoke, "Eldest daughter-in-law, since the in-laws are here, go open the door and let them in." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"...Understood, Dad."

Chen Hong’s eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, yet her feet were already moving towards the main door.

The loud voice shouting outside was her mother, Mrs. Chen Qian.

Before she married into the Gu Family, she was Chen Hong’s nightmare.

As a girl, she was like a cow at home, working incessantly, not only serving her parents but also her two older brothers.

If her service didn’t satisfy them, they would scold and beat her without restraint.

Even so, back then she resented her parents for selling her to the Gu Family. But she couldn’t deny that in all these years with the Gu Family, she never suffered and no one insulted her.

The life in the Gu Family compared to the Chen Family was worlds apart.

She didn’t know whether to thank her parents for selling her to the Gu Family or resent them for treating her as merchandise.

Over the years, whenever her maternal family came knocking, either seeking favors or help, Chen Hong rarely returned to the Chen Family Village, leaving many matters to her husband.

Now that her parents had personally visited, Chen Hong felt something was amiss.

From what she knew about her family, unless it was something very important to them, they would never come in person.

Chen Hong walked to the front door and slowly opened it.

Standing outside was a small old lady and a thin, rod-like old man, their eyes glimmering with various forms of calculation.

Chen Hong lowered her head and greeted, "Dad, Mom."

Her voice was indifferent, devoid of any intimacy.

"Why so slow? My hand hurts from knocking, were you doing it on purpose?"

The old lady glanced at Chen Hong disdainfully, swaggering past her into the Gu Family’s home.

The meanness on her face was evident as she arrogantly scrutinized the small courtyard of the Gu Family with critical eyes.

Upon seeing the old man of the Gu Family, Gu Decang, as well as Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin, the siblings, the old lady’s expression changed, and she quickly put on a smile.

The speed of her change of face was astonishing.

"Congratulations, in-laws!" the old lady knew the Gu Family was run by the old man and went straight towards him.

Knowing that the Chen Family never visits without a reason, the old man of the Gu Family remained unchanged as always and asked, "In-laws are here, what is this joy you speak of?"

The old lady stood in front of the Gu Family’s old man, her face full of ingratiating smiles, her wrinkles stacked together, "It’s good news, my old man and I came today because great joy has befallen the Gu Family."

Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin saw their maternal grandparents, and their expressions turned sour.

They had been marginalized by the Chen Family since childhood; during visits to the Chen Family, they were often bullied. Their grandparents always scolded them, and their uncle’s children bullied the siblings too.

Over the years, they rarely visited the Chen Family, yet during holidays they still had to go, as their grandfather said it was basic courtesy.

Seeing the flattery shown to their grandfather, paired with the insidiousness in their words, both siblings frowned tightly, their eyes on them wary.

The old man of the Gu Family, listening to Mrs. Chen Qian’s words, still couldn’t comprehend what this joy was all about.

He threw a towel into the enamel basin at his feet, "Whatever it is, let’s sit inside and talk."

Mrs. Chen Qian’s eyes shifted, staring intently at the kitchen, "No need for that, when we came, neither of us had eaten. Let’s sit and talk over a meal."
