Chapter 391 Deliberately Not Going to Pay a Visit

After Zhao's publicity, the Gu family soon knew that Grandpa Gu and the entire second branch of the family had returned.

Honest Gu Dahan asked, "Mom, should we go over now?"

Chen Sufen had the same idea.

Now that our grandparents are back, as the younger generation we must visit them no matter what.

What's more, they came from far away.

Tong Huaqiong shook her head and said, "Let's wait for them to invite us over. Don't rush over. Just do what you need to do and pretend you don't know they're back."

Since it is a matter of etiquette, the second wife calls her sister-in-law. If she is sensible, she should come to greet her first.

Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong shared the same hatred and said, "Grandpa and grandma don't like our family. Even if we take the initiative to curry favor with them, they may not like us. It's better not to go."

Apart from anything else, her aunt always uses her status as an elder to put pressure on her, demanding all the delicious food and fun things, so she is unwilling to flatter her.

Liu Yue'e agreed: "Yes, we won't go."

Liu Yue'e also had a grievance against the two elders of the Gu family. The two elders always said that she was a cheating wife and not Gu's wife because of the ending before she and Gu Dashu got married. Even Gu's eldest grandson Yaozu and others disliked her.

Tong Huaqiong's family dared not disobey her orders, so no one dared to mention taking the initiative to visit Mr. Gu's home at the west end of the village.

......

The west end of the village.

The old house of the Gu family.

Old Man Gu sat cross-legged on the bed with a gloomy look on his face.

The news that Tong Huaqiong's family had returned from the provincial capital had spread everywhere, and he didn't believe that no one had told Tong Huaqiong about his and his second wife's family's return home.

This daughter-in-law is getting more and more outrageous. When the eldest son was around, even though she was unreasonable and acted like a spoiled child, she still came to visit the parents. Even though she talked back when she was scolded, she still listened.

Now that he heard they were coming, he pretended not to know. He waited for a long time but there was no movement in the yard.

When the villagers told him that his eldest daughter-in-law and her family were going to the provincial capital to attend the wedding, he didn't believe it.

The eldest daughter-in-law has been in Qinghe Bay all the time, so how did she catch the eye of the nobles in the city?

After learning about it in detail these days, he found out that this eldest daughter-in-law is now very powerful. She has opened a big shop, adopted County Magistrate Liu as her godson, and Mr. Huang treats her as a guest of honor. Even the Emperor of Shengjing has issued an edict to confer the title of Lady of the Country on her.

This ability is so great that green smoke as thick as a thigh is coming out of the Gu family’s ancestral tomb.

However, no matter how capable she is now, as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she must abide by the duties of a daughter-in-law and respect her parents-in-law.

"Grandpa, when I arrived at my aunt's house I didn't see her, but I saw Brother Jingzhe. Brother Jingzhe said that my aunt had just returned from the capital and was very tired and was resting. She will come to our house to meet you after she has rested." Gu Ruinian, the second son of the second room, lifted the curtain and came to old man Gu, saying respectfully.

He was sent by Mr. Gu to invite Tong Huaqiong, and he didn't even enter the upper room.

What impressed him most was the plaque awarded by the government on the main door of the house, which almost blinded his eyes.

Mr. Gu's pipe was banging loudly, and he said angrily, "Rebellion."

The eldest daughter-in-law obviously knew that they had returned but deliberately did not come to pay them a visit.

Tong Huaqiong's mother-in-law Jiang frowned and cursed, "I said we shouldn't have let her into the family in the first place. She was a well-known shrew in Heilongtan. Now that my son has died, she has become the queen of the first house."

Tong Huaqiong's brother-in-law Gu Youtian said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is a big celebrity now, so naturally she doesn't think highly of us."

Gu Youtian is now very curious about what his sister-in-law has become.

After some inquiries in the village these days, his sister-in-law's reputation in the village made him suspect that her home had been taken away from her.

He was very curious about his sister-in-law's current situation.

If he wasn't so arrogant, he would have wanted to go to the main room to observe the changes in his sister-in-law in advance.

The second daughter-in-law Jia said with a smile: "It's okay for the eldest sister-in-law, she has always been in that temper. But Jingzhe... after all, he is well-educated and knows etiquette. He knows that grandpa and grandma are back, so why doesn't he come to greet them first?"

Jia didn't mind stepping on Gu Jingzhe in front of her parents-in-law.

In the past, because the eldest wife had a girl named Gu Jingzhe who was good at studying, the eldest sister-in-law wanted to suppress her in everything.

Fortunately, God was merciful. Her second son, Gu Rui, suddenly became good at studying a few years ago and his bad temper became better. Last year, he passed the examination and became a Tongsheng. Since then, their second branch has gained more status in the eyes of his parents-in-law.

She was no longer afraid that her elder sister-in-law would use Gu Jingzhe to suppress her.

Gu Ruinian stood calmly at the head of Old Man Gu's bed and defended Gu Jingzhe, "Brother Jingzhe is our smartest and most promising brother after all. Excellent people always do things differently from ordinary people like us."

It seemed like an excuse, but as soon as the words came out, he was actually trying to make things difficult for Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Ruinian was originally confident that he could call Tong Huaqiong over, but he encountered an obstacle, Gu Jingzhe.

To be honest, before he went to the first house, he didn't take Gu Jingzhe, whom he had never met, seriously at all.

Not only Gu Jingzhe, in fact he doesn't take anyone of this era seriously.

He was stopped at the door by a beautiful boy. After a few words of exchange, he found that he was no match for him.

Gu Ruinian felt that he had underestimated the enemy.

This cousin who is a few months older than him seems to be his biggest enemy in the Gu family.

As expected, Mr. Gu became even more furious and cursed, "Is he his grandson or am I his grandson? What is he so proud of? He is not the only one in our family who can read. Ruinian, aren't you smarter than him?"

Gu Ruinian remained calm despite being praised by Mr. Gu.

But Jia smiled.

Everyone discussed whether Tong Huaqiong should come home to meet her parents-in-law. Based on their understanding of Tong Huaqiong, she would really ignore her parents-in-law and treat them coldly when she got angry.

Now the whole village is watching. If she really doesn't come to the old house on her own initiative, wouldn't everyone in the old house be embarrassed?

What's more, the second house's business is now bankrupt and they still need Tong Huaqiong.

However, if the second branch was asked to go to the first branch to pay a visit to Tong Huaqiong first, the two elders of the Gu family and Gu Youtian would never accept it.

Just when they didn't know what to do, Gu Honglian said, "I'll go, I'm sure I can call my sister-in-law over."

Mr. Gu’s eyes lit up.

Mrs. Jiang, the old lady of Gu, rubbed Gu Honglian's hair lovingly and said, "Honglian, I am sorry for that."

Jia raised her eyelids, feeling uncomfortable.

She just looks like a sister-in-law.

If the younger sister-in-law can call the elder sister-in-law over, wouldn't it make her Rui Nian seem incompetent?

Gu Honglian put on her shoes and went out with an indignant look on her face.

The eldest sister-in-law was getting more and more outrageous. Not only did she not come to pay homage to her parents, but she even didn't show any expression when she came back.

She went to her sister-in-law's house two days ago. The yard had been expanded and the house had been newly renovated.

Especially my eldest sister-in-law’s room is spacious and bright, and even if she is not at home, the charcoal is burning warmly.

There was also a space in the bedroom that was filled with clothes, all made of fine materials, but in bright colors that were not at all suitable for a widow.

It's more suitable for her to wear.

What made her even more angry was that her eldest sister-in-law's niece moved into her eldest sister-in-law's house with her child after her divorce, and her dress and appearance did not look like a divorced woman at all.

My sister-in-law would rather let an outsider enjoy the good things in the house than ask someone to bring them to her.
