Chapter 213 It’s going to rain and the mother is getting married.
As soon as it got dark, Tong Huaqiong finished distributing the medicine.
Everyone took the medicine to Tong Huaqiong, expressed their gratitude and left the Gu family one after another.
Some of them learned that Boss Qian wanted to pray for the souls of the wronged in the wasteland, and many brave young and strong laborers said that they could also participate in the digging.
"Mom, why is our house so lively?"
After Tong Huaqiong sent the villagers away, she saw a group of bad bamboos returning home from the town.
The one who spoke was Gu Jingzhe.
Gu Jingzhe had two days off from school, so he came to Taohua Dessert and met up with Gu Dashu and others and went home together.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the villagers leaving their homes one after another, so he curiously asked Tong Huaqiong what happened at home.
"I distributed the medicine for killing ear rot and cotton aphids to everyone," said Tong Huaqiong.
Gu Jingzhe nodded. No wonder the villager carrying the medicine barrel he met on the road just now took the initiative to praise him for being a scholar and having seen the antibacterial and anti-insect prescriptions in the book.
It turns out that mother is doing good things.
Before Gu Jingzhe had time to be happy, he turned around and saw Boss Qian sitting in front of the table, holding his pen in his hand and looking at Tong Huaqiong frequently.
Gu Jingzhe had a bad feeling.
"Boss Qian, why are you here at our house?" Gu Taohua asked when she saw Boss Qian smiling brightly.
Boss Qian is a major customer and VVVIP client of Taohua Desserts, and Gu Taohua is happy to have a good relationship with him.
"Manager He came to Qinghewan to buy land to build a house, and I bought one too. I bought the land in your backyard. We will be neighbors from now on." Boss Qian smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
The Gu family did not react as strongly as the villagers regarding Boss Qian and He Chao buying land and building a house in the Gu family's backyard.
Because they had lived next to that wasteland for so many years and had never seen a single wronged soul, in the minds of Gu Taohua and others, that wasteland was no different from other wastelands in the village.
Gu Taohua even thought that it was the best thing that Shopkeeper He and Boss Qian were willing to be neighbors.
From now on, there will be people around my yard.
"That's great." Gu Taohua said.
"Sister, come with me." Gu Jingzhe pulled Gu Taohua into the house and said to her, "Sister, don't you realize that Boss Qian is not a good person?"
Gu Taohua expressed her disagreement with Gu Jingzhe's statement. Tong Huaqiong also said the same thing at the time, but the facts overturned Tong Huaqiong's assertion.
These days, Fengle Building has been ordering all its cakes from Taohua Dessert. Not only that, Boss Qian has also introduced many big customers to Taohua Dessert.
Moreover, Boss Qian is usually kind and generous, and is a good man praised by everyone in the town.
"Third brother, don't say that. If Boss Qian was a bad guy, would mother let him into our house? Mother also thought he was a bad guy before. Now I must realize that my previous thoughts were biased, so I let him in today." Gu Taohua said.
Gu Taohua didn't understand where Gu Jingzhe's hostility towards Boss Qian came from.
Gu Jingzhe almost couldn't catch his breath.
This is the crux of the matter. Boss Qian was able to make my mother change her opinion of him in just a few days, and today he even allowed her to come to her house openly. Doesn't this just show that Boss Qian is a man of deep thoughts?
Gu Jingzhe had long seen that Boss Qian had feelings for his widowed mother.
But my sister is so heartless that she can't see Boss Qian's intentions.
No, this matter must be brought to light to my sister.
Gu Jingzhe gritted his teeth and said to Gu Taohua, "Sister, don't you see that Boss Qian is interested in Mom?"
After hearing this, Gu Taohua recalled Boss Qian's attitude towards her mother. The more she thought about it, the more her brows relaxed. She became as excited as when she had eaten the sweetest part of a melon.
"It's normal for Boss Qian to like mother. Mother is only 38 this year, and she looks like a flower when she dresses up. Haven't you heard that the prettiest flower in our Taohua Dessert is not me, Gu Taohua, but Widow Tong?" Gu Taohua's eyes sparkled.
Gu Jingzhe's face was filled with black lines. He didn't expect his sister to react like this.
"Of course, Boss Qian is not bad either. He doesn't have a wife, and at his age, he doesn't have a big belly or a bald head. He has money, land, and a big restaurant. If he really becomes my stepfather, I have no objection."
It's obvious that Gu Taohua is supporting the pairing of Tong Huaqiong and Boss Qian.
Gu Jingzhe was almost angry to death.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Do you really want mother to remarry?" Gu Jingzhe asked.
Gu Taohua looked at Gu Jingzhe in surprise and said, "Third brother, you still have the nerve to call yourself a scholar, but scholars study so rigidly. Why can't mother remarry? It was already very unfair for mother to marry father. To put it bluntly, when father was alive, mother's talents were suppressed. After father died, mother can make money and do business. Whether mother is willing to be father's widow for the rest of her life is none of our business. What's the matter, you, as a son, are ignoring the thoughts of the living for the sake of the dead man's face and want to stop mother from remarrying?"
"Third brother, let me tell you, if it rains, mom will remarry. If mom really remarries, can you stop her? Don't worry about it. Boss Qian likes mom. If mom also likes Boss Qian, it's okay for the two of them to be a couple. Don't do anything to break up a couple."
Gu Taohua’s words almost made Gu Jingzhe go berserk.
Reason told him that what Gu Taohua said made sense.
Given my mother's personality, if she remarries, who can stop her?
But his emotional side made him unable to accept that Boss Qian wanted to be his stepfather.
For some reason, he felt that Boss Qian was not worthy of his mother.
What if a match appears?
Gu Jingzhe was caught off guard by his own thought.
"Sister, just pretend I didn't say anything about what happened today, and don't tell anybody in front of mom and Boss Qian. I won't interfere in mom's affairs, but I have the right to hate Boss Qian, right?" Gu Jingzhe said.
He was afraid that this stupid girl would give Tong Huaqiong and Boss Qian a great assist.
If he were to be honest, he couldn't accept Boss Qian being his stepfather.
"Of course you can hate Boss Qian, but you can't drag me into hating Boss Qian too."
Gu Taohua pushed Gu Jingzhe.
She found that her third brother's thinking was quite old-fashioned. Even if her mother really had some ideas about men, it was for her own sake rather than to find a father for them.
So what right do they, as children, have to object?
"Okay, I got it. I won't show any clues in front of Boss Qian. Hey, third brother, don't you think mother is very popular? Maybe we will have a better stepfather waiting for us in the future." Gu Taohua's eyes sparkled and she looked fascinated.
Gu Jingzhe was speechless.
The girl really hopes her mother will remarry!
"Taohua, how is the sales of our shop today?"
The first thing Gu Taohua does when she gets home every day is to report the business situation of the shop to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong returned home today and it had been a long time since she saw her report, so she looked everywhere for Gu Taohua.
Maner told Tong Huaqiong mysteriously that her aunt and uncle were plotting to find a new grandfather for her in the house. Tong Huaqiong was so frightened that she wanted to pick up a stick to break the legs of these two villains.
The naughty girl actually thought of forcing her to a man.
Tong Huaqiong came to the upper room to find Gu Taohua, and saw Gu Taohua and Gu Jingzhe talking about something, and it seemed that they really mentioned the word "stepfather".
Tong Huaqiong asked, "What are you two talking about hiding in the house?"
