Chapter 393 Sister-in-law's Plan
Gu Honglian wanted to get angry, but she lost her temper when she saw her sister-in-law wearing silk and the room full of fine furnishings.
She also wanted to live a life like her sister-in-law.
I want to move into my sister-in-law's new house.
How can I move here if I have angered my sister-in-law?
After Gu Honglian sat down, she said with a look of grievance: "Sister-in-law, we have been back for several days. I missed you so much. I thought I would be able to see you when I returned to the village, but you were not here these days. I just learned that you were back from the capital, so I hurried to see you."
Then Gu Honglian said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, you miss me too, right?"
I miss you so much. When Tong Huaqiong met Gu Honglian for the first time, there was no emotional connection at all.
Gu Honglian was a stranger to her.
Tong Huaqiong said: "I am so exhausted from my busy schedule at home and business every day that I don't have time to think about you."
Gu Honglian was stunned.
How could the sister-in-law not miss her?
When she first went south with her parents to live with her second brother, even though her eldest sister-in-law didn't get along with her parents and second brother, and even though she had disappointed her eldest sister-in-law before she left, her eldest sister-in-law would always ask someone to bring her homemade food and clothes every New Year.
This is also the reason why Gu Honglian is confident that she can keep a firm grip on her sister-in-law.
Gu Honglian choked up as she said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how much I miss you."
Tong Huaqiong didn't respond, so she joked, "You are fifteen years old, a grown-up girl, why are you still acting like a child?"
After saying that, he pushed the snack plate in front of him and said to Gu Jingzhe, "Jingzhe, ask your aunt to have some snacks."
Gu Jingzhe pushed the snack towards Gu Honglian.
You want to get rid of her with just a plate of snacks?
Gu Honglian was originally angry and didn't want to eat.
But the dessert was so tempting that the aroma went straight into her nose.
She swallowed, picked up the snack and took a bite.
The snacks at my sister-in-law’s house are so delicious.
I heard that my sister-in-law opened a dim sum shop relying on her good skills. She not only has a shop in Yanguan Town, but also has a branch in the provincial capital.
Gu Honglian ate two pieces in a row, but her mood not only did not improve but became even more unbalanced. Since her sister-in-law was so good at making snacks, why didn't she make them for her before?
Moreover, the snack shop kept the secret as secret as an iron barrel. If the clan leader had not asked someone to take a letter to Mr. Gu, they would still be kept in the dark.
Seeing that Gu Honglian had finished her snack, Tong Huaqiong said to her, "Go back and tell the two elders that I just came back from the city today and I'm a little tired. I'll go see them after dinner."
This is an order to expel you.
Gu Honglian was stunned. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so heartless.
She had to invite the person over now, otherwise her second sister-in-law and others would laugh at her when she returned.
However, compared to her second sister-in-law's ridicule, she had more important things to do at the moment.
If the sister-in-law is willing to let her stay, then it doesn't matter whether she goes to visit her parents or not.
Thinking of this, Gu Honglian looked around Tong Huaqiong's room and suddenly her eyes turned red.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know. It snowed yesterday and the house was so cold that I couldn't sleep. There was no charcoal fire or stove in the house, and my hands were almost frostbitten."
Gu Honglian stretched out her hands with tears in her eyes, but her fingers were red from the cold.
But she was frozen on the way back from the south, not in Qinghe Bay.
"No one has lived in this old house for many years. It's drafty on all sides. The window that the clan leader pasted was torn last night. The quilt was damp and I didn't feel warm all night."
"Sister-in-law, your house is big and warm, with so many rooms. Sister-in-law, can I move in with you today? I don't want a separate room, Taohua and I can just sleep in the same room."
Don’t worry about anything else, just move in first.
I believe that the eldest sister-in-law will not refuse. What the eldest sister-in-law hates are her parents and second brother. As long as she leaves them and moves here, won't she win the eldest sister-in-law's favor again?
She really didn't want to live in the old house and sleep in the same room with her niece Gu Xiaoxue.
She wants to have her own private room.
She came in to take a look when her sister-in-law was not at home. She had been coveting her niece Gu Taohua's bedroom for a long time.
Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Honglian with a smile.
It turns out that all the plans of the cheap sister-in-law were to live in her house.
That can't be done.
Gu Taohua came in from outside and said, "I don't like sleeping in the same room with others."
Tong Huaqiong spread her hands and looked at Gu Honglian and said, "Your niece is used to sleeping in a room by herself. You see there are many rooms in the house, but they are actually full of people. Your eldest nephew's family has one, your second nephew's family has one, Taohua and Jingzhe have one each, and Jingzhe has another room as his study because he doesn't want to make noise when studying. Man'er, Yaozu and Xiaolong are all grown up, and they each need their own room. Your eldest niece's wife is pregnant, and I'm worried that there won't be an extra room for the baby in her belly."
Gu Honglian said: "Man'er and Yaozu are too young, why don't they just sleep with their parents?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "No, if the children don't sleep well, it will affect the adults. I still rely on their parents to work for me. If they don't sleep well, they won't have the energy to work."
Gu Honglian was so angry that her eyes widened. Her sister-in-law refused to let her stay because she didn't agree to anything.
Tong Huaqiong thought that this sister-in-law was really impatient and showed everything on her face.
But Tong Huaqiong doesn't act according to her mood.
Tong Huaqiong thought for a moment and suddenly frowned and said, "Your second brother is really something. He knew you were our little girl, but he rashly brought you back home at this time of year. Doesn't he know you are afraid of the cold? He should have repaired the old house and prepared all the rooms before bringing you and your parents back. Since you are all back together, at the very least he should have prepared a charcoal stove to make the house warmer."
"Your second brother always said that I was acting like his eldest sister-in-law. Just look at his style of doing things without caring about the consequences, and you will know how unreliable he is."
Tong Huaqiong scolded Gu Youtian.
Gu Honglian opened her mouth, not knowing how to argue.
The eldest sister-in-law is more eloquent than before and has a darker heart. Not only does she not take any responsibility, she also puts all the blame on the second brother.
If the second brother had the ability to renovate the old house to the same level as the eldest sister-in-law's, would she have to be so humble in front of her?
Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Jingzhe, "Jingzhe, give me a few pieces of paper you wrote on. I'll take them to the old house later and let your second uncle paste the windows with them first."
Then he asked Gu Taohua to take out an unused hot water bottle and hand it to Gu Honglian, saying that it was for her to warm her bed.
Didn’t you say you couldn’t sleep at night because it was too cold?
Gu Honglian walked to the door of the old house holding the hot water bottle, unable to believe that her sister-in-law treated her like this.
"Oh, Honglian is back. The younger sister-in-law is very prestigious, so she must have invited the elder sister-in-law this time, right?" Jia saw Gu Honglian with red eyes hugging a hot water bottle in her arms, and saw that there was no one behind her, so she made a sarcastic remark.
Gu Honglian didn't want to be laughed at by her second sister-in-law, so she gritted her teeth and said, "My eldest sister-in-law said she would come over to greet my parents after dinner."
When Mr. Gu heard the conversation between the aunt and the sister-in-law in the room, he was so angry that he almost fell down.
"The eldest brother's wife is too much. Honglian has already been invited, and she wants to come again after dinner."
Shouldn't she come and cook?
Old Man Gu was so angry that he tore off a new piece of clothing he was wearing. He was wearing it to meet the eldest son's wife and the grandson of the first family.
