Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 570: Life Is Too Peaceful

Li Xueqin also laughed along, she said, "Gu Jin’s mother has been gone for more than a decade, right? All these years you’ve been raising this child with no blood relation, it’s truly admirable, especially in our village, Sister-in-law Gu, you’re really righteous."

These words were really too sudden.

Moreover, Chen Hong wasn’t a fool.

Understanding the hidden meaning in Li Xueqin’s words, the smile on her face faded slightly: "It’s not me raising her. This child has a father who loves her, and the old man treats her like a treasure. It’s not up to me to raise her."

This is a fact. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

All these years, the reason why she tolerated Gu Jin not doing any work at home while eating for free was because of the money Gu Dehao sent back from the army.

The old man and the little uncle treated Gu Jin like their own daughter, their own granddaughter, and since it didn’t cost her a penny, she naturally had no objections.

Li Xueqin only thought she was being polite. In reality, she had no feelings for Gu Jin and couldn’t wait to send her out of the house.

With a knowing look, she continued, "I understand the troubles of Sister-in-law Gu. After all, she didn’t come from your flesh, so it’s natural not to feel affection. However, Sister-in-law, you’ve finally seen the end; Gu Jin is already grown up, and at marriageable age. Once she’s married, you’ll be free."

"How can you say that!" Chen Hong immediately retorted.

The smile vanished from her face, replaced by seriousness, as she said to Li Xueqin, "Though I’m not close to Jin, she’s still part of the Gu Family. Even if she marries out, she’s still a member of the Gu Family. How can that be my liberation? An Family sister, you shouldn’t say such things lightly."

Li Xueqin’s smile froze on her face.

This wasn’t the reaction she expected.

However, she was quick-witted and immediately smiled, "Look at my mouth, can’t even speak properly. Sister-in-law Gu, don’t mind me, I’m just clumsy with my words."

Chen Hong gave her a deep look.

This wasn’t just poor-speaking skills, there was clearly a hidden agenda.

With a stern face, she asked, "An Family sister, if you have something to say, just say it directly without beating around the bush."

Li Xueqin pretended to sigh helplessly, "This is really a bit awkward to talk about."

"If it’s awkward, then don’t say it. I still have beans to dry!"

Chen Hong stood up to leave, showing her disinterest by rolling her eyes.

"Don’t, I’ll say it, I’ll say it!" Li Xueqin quickly stood up, stepping forward to hold her back.

She spoke directly, "Wasn’t it just yesterday Guoliang saw that Gu Jin girl, came home, and started making a fuss, saying he won’t marry anyone but Gu Jin, insisting on taking her as his wife!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong understood everything.

Including the hidden implications behind the previous talks, all preparing for this moment.

She looked at Li Xueqin sympathetically, "Are you here to propose for your son?"

"Yes, you see, Gu Jin is already nineteen, and my Guoliang is one year older than her. He’ll definitely cherish her. Sister-in-law Gu, we’ve known each other for a long time, see if you can agree to this marriage. As for the bride price, as long as it’s reasonable, we can manage it!"

For her son, she was willing to do anything!

Li Xueqin was prepared for Chen Hong to ask for a lot.

Instead, she shook her head at Li Xueqin: "An Family sister, even without mentioning that our families aren’t familiar, the fact that Jin has adopted your little uncle’s son, trying to become in-laws is nothing but a pipe dream in my opinion."

Given how much Gu Jin values An Mingji, it’s already good enough that she hasn’t picked a fight with the An Family.

Now, the An Family still has designs on her. Perhaps life has been too peaceful for them.

She really didn’t know what to say to Li Xueqin, nor did she understand where they got their courage.
