Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 16: Scum, Deserving Universal Condemnation
"Impossible! There’s no way my Zhenzhu would like Wen Zhiqing." Wu Meili immediately refuted, but her family did indeed stew meat today.
"Whether you believe it or not, Aunt Wu, is up to you." Gu Jia Ning smiled and tossed out a sentence before leisurely leaving.
"Aunt Wu, if Wen Zhqing and your Zhenzhu get married, you must invite our Old Gu Family to the celebration feast."
Wu Meili watched as Gu Jia Ning walked away, her slender waist swaying, then thought of the words she just said, spat a few times, her eyes filled with a hint of malice.
"You should marry Wen Zhiqing yourself. There’s no way my Zhenzhu would marry him."
"Meili, you just said Wen Zhiqing is a great son-in-law candidate. So why are you upset when you hear your Zhenzhu likes him? Don’t tell me all those praises for Wen Zhiqing were lies?" A bystanding auntie unhesitatingly exposed Wu Meili’s intentions.
As if no one knew what tricks you’re up to, Wu Meili.
Wu Meili was rendered speechless, her eyes darting as she threw aside the sweet potato vines in her hands and clutched her stomach, "Oh, my stomach hurts, I need to use the toilet first."
With that, she hurriedly ran home from the field.
Mumbling under her breath, "That damn girl Zhenzhu, wouldn’t really give meat to Wen Zhiqing, would she?"
Suddenly recalling the previous mentions of Wen Zhiqing at home, Zhenzhu’s blushing face, could it be that Zhenzhu really likes Wen Zhiqing?
No way, she just said that for Gu Jia Ning to hear, she didn’t intend for her daughter to have any involvement with the educated youth, let alone make him a son-in-law.
Gu Jia Ning turned back after walking far and saw Wu Meili running home like the wind.
She did tell the truth; Gu Zhenzhu indeed likes Wen Zhqing.
She remembered her previous life, today at this time, she went to tell Wen Zhqing that the job was settled, while Gu Zhenzhu coincidentally went to deliver meat to Wen Zhqing at the same time.
Although Aunt Wu’s intentions aren’t good and she disapproves of the Gu Family, she’s ultimately not a bad person.
She had given a hint, and if Aunt Wu could prevent Gu Zhenzhu from flattering Wen Zhqing, that would be better.
After all, Wen Zhqing is scum.
A scum that everyone should punish.
Wu Meili was hastily running home and as she got closer, she saw her youngest daughter, Gu Zhenzhu, holding a bowl, sneaking out. The wind carried the smell of meat, and Wu Meili couldn’t help but shout, "Gu Zhenzhu, where are you going?"
The shout startled Gu Zhenzhu, she looked up to see her mother’s stern face rushing over, instinctively hid the bowl behind her and tried to run outside, but it was too late, her shoulder was grabbed by Wu Meili’s hand like a huge pincer, and with a yank, she had to turn around.
In the next second, her hands were empty, the bowl had been snatched away.
Wu Meili glanced down at the bowl in her hand, the soft, tender, oily, fragrant meat, wasn’t it the family’s stewed meat?
Wu Meili dragged a shrinking, frightened Gu Zhenzhu back home, slammed the door shut, cutting off the prying eyes of the neighborhood.
"Gu Zhenzhu, tell me, were you going to take our meat to Wen Zhiqing?" With a slam, she put the bowl on the table, questioning sharply.
"Mom, how did you know..." As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Zhenzhu covered her mouth, eyebrows furrowed. Oh no, how did she let that slip?
Her mom always disliked the educated youths at the communal point, often grumbling without a good word to say about them at home.
"Oh, you really were going to give the meat to Wen Zhiqing? Are you planning to marry that Wen Zhiqing? Listen here, over my dead body. If you dare to marry him, I’ll break your legs."
Gu Zhenzhu mumbled softly, "Mom, what’s so bad about Wen Zhiqing? He’s good-looking, educated, and from the city. Maybe if he ever returns to the city, whoever marries him would surely follow."
Isn’t this the nonsense she was telling Gu Jia Ning? Is this foolish girl thinking like that?
Wu Meili’s heart tangled up, she immediately went forward to pinch her ear.
"Ouch, mom, it hurts, it hurts."
"It has to hurt for you to learn a lesson."
"He may be good-looking and educated, but that’s their business. You’re not good-looking, nor educated, why would they like you? Sending meat to him, you’re just setting yourself up as a fool." Wu Meili knew her place, never expecting her daughter to marry someone from the city.
Marrying that educated youth, the so-called benefits are like illusions in the sky, visible but unreachable.
"You’re not to go, nor send anything, or I’ll definitely break your legs, and you’re not eating today."
Gu Zhenzhu rubbed her ear, her face fell, today there was finally meat to eat.
For now, Gu Zhenzhu couldn’t even think about Wen Zhiqing, only about the meat.
Wu Meili wanted to persuade Gu Jia Ning to continue pestering Wen Zhqing, and Gu Jia Ning remembered, and though she retorted at the time, she held a grudge.
So back home, she narrated Wu Meili’s words to her own mother.
Yao Chunhua exploded upon hearing it, slammed the spatula down, furious, "Ningning, you’ve been fooled by that Wu Meili, what good is Wen Zhiqing, Ze Xi is much better."
Gu Jia Ning blinked her eyes and nodded, resting her head on her mother’s shoulder, softly said, "Mom, I didn’t listen, I also think Sheng Brother is better."
Yao Chunhua exhaled in relief, wanting to pat her daughter’s head but hesitated, worried her hands were greasy.
After comforting her daughter, inwardly resolved to find a time to shut that Wu Meili up.
Her daughter finally got her eyes open properly, stopped liking Wen Zhiqing, and was with Ze Xi, if Wu Meili’s words swayed her back, Yao Chunhua would definitely be heartbroken.
Fortunately, her daughter listened, "Good girl, go sit in the room, dinner will be ready soon with your favorite braised pork."
Gu Jia Ning beamed, her voice even softer, "Thank you, mom, you’re the best, how could I love you so much?"
Her daughter’s candid words made Yao Chunhua blush, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Gu Jia Ning went back to her room, pondering that tomorrow Sheng Zexi would come to propose, she should ask him about the Northwest Military Region’s conditions and what’s needed there.
At this moment, Sheng Zexi, who Gu Jia Ning was thinking about, had already picked up his grandparents from the airport and drove them to the hotel.
He had booked a room for them, and after putting down the luggage, the two elders started scrutinizing him.
As they scrutinized, Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang couldn’t hold back, and their eyes turned red.
"Grandpa and Grandma haven’t seen you in such a long time, you know, these years you’ve been returning less and less to Beijing, even if you don’t go back to the Sheng Family, you could at least visit the Sang Family, stop living like a loner, with no place to call home." Grandma Sang held her grandson, unable to hold back tears, knowing the pain in his heart, they were heartbroken too.
