Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 16 Scumbag, Everyone Has the Right to Kill Him

"Impossible! My Pearl would never like Wen Zhiqing." Wu Meili immediately denied it, but her family had indeed stewed meat today.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, Aunt Wu." Gu Jianing smiled, left those words behind, and walked away leisurely.

"Aunt Wu, when Wen Zhuqing and your Zhenzhu get married, you must invite the Gu family to the banquet."

As Wu Meili watched Gu Jianing walk, her slender waist swaying back and forth, and recalling what Gu Jianing had just said, she spat a few times, her eyes filled with resentment.

“You’re the one who’s going to marry Wen Zhiqing. My Pearl would never marry Wen Zhiqing.”

"Meili, didn't you just say that Wen Zhiqing was a very good son-in-law candidate? What's wrong? Now that you hear that your Zhenzhu likes Wen Zhiqing, you're unhappy again? Were all those things you said about Wen Zhiqing just now fake?" The aunt next to her didn't hesitate to expose Wu Meili's thoughts.

Everyone knows what kind of trouble you, Wu Meili, are up to.

Wu Meili was speechless after being rebuked. Her eyes darted around, and she dropped the sweet potato vine she had pulled out, clutching her stomach. "Ouch, my stomach hurts. No, no, I need to go back to the toilet first."

After saying that, she came out of the field and ran home in a hurry.

He muttered to himself, "That brat Pearl, she wouldn't actually give meat to Wen Zhiqing, would she?"

She suddenly remembered that Pearl had blushed several times when Wen Zhiqing was mentioned at home. Could it be that Pearl really liked Wen Zhiqing?

No way. That's what she said, but she only meant it to Gu Jianing. She didn't mean for her daughter to have any connection with the educated youth, let alone have him as her son-in-law.

After Gu Jianing walked away, she turned back and saw Wu Meili running home like the wind.

She was telling the truth; Gu Zhenzhu did indeed like Wen Zhuqing.

She remembered that in her past life, at this time today, she went to tell Wen Zhuqing that the work matter was settled, while Gu Zhenzhu happened to be delivering meat to Wen Zhuqing at the same time.

Although Aunt Wu wasn't a very kind person and disliked the Gu family, she wasn't a bad person after all.

She had already given a heads-up, and it would be a good thing if Aunt Wu could stop Gu Zhenzhu from currying favor with Wen Zhuqing.

After all, Wen Zhuqing is a scumbag.

He's a scumbag, and everyone should kill him.

Wu Meili rushed home, and as she got closer, she saw her youngest daughter, Gu Zhenzhu, carrying a bowl in both hands, sneaking out. The smell of meat wafting in the wind made Wu Meili unable to hold back any longer, and she shouted, "Gu Zhenzhu, where are you going!"

The shout startled Gu Zhenzhu. She looked up and saw her mother running towards her with a tense face. She instinctively hid the bowl behind her back and tried to run outside, but it was too late. Wu Meili grabbed her shoulder with a hand that felt like a giant pair of pincers. With a pull of the pincers, she was forced to turn around.

The next second, my hand was empty; the bowl had been snatched away.

Wu Meili looked down at her hand and saw that the stewed meat in her hand was tender, juicy, and fragrant – it was her family's stewed meat.

Wu Meili pulled the terrified Gu Zhenzhu home, slamming the door shut to shut out the people who were secretly watching.

"Gu Zhenzhu, tell me, are you going to take our meat to give to Wen Zhiqing?" With a thud, Wu Meili slammed the bowl on the table and bombarded him with questions.

"Mother, how did you know..." Gu Zhenzhu covered her mouth and frowned as soon as she finished speaking. Oh no, how could she have blurted out her true feelings?

Her mother had always disliked the educated youth from the educated youth settlement, and would often grumble at home, never saying a kind word. "So, you really want to bring meat to Wen, the educated youth? Do you want to marry that Wen? Let me tell you, no way! If you dare to marry him, I'll break your legs."

Gu Zhenzhu retorted softly, "Mother, what's wrong with Wen Zhiqing? He's good-looking, educated, and from the city. Maybe when he returns to the city, the person he marries will be able to go with him."

Isn't this exactly what I told Gu Jianing to say? So this silly girl was planning to do this?
Wu Meili immediately suffered a heart attack and went forward to pinch her ear.

"Ouch, Mother, it hurts, it hurts."

"You'll only learn your lesson if you're hurt."

“It’s their business if they’re good-looking and educated. But you’re not good-looking and not educated. Do you think they’ll like you? They’d be willing to give you meat. You’d just be a sucker for them.” Wu Meili was self-aware enough not to expect her daughter to marry a city man.

Marrying that educated youth—the so-called benefits are like a mirage in the sky, visible but untouchable.

"Anyway, you're not allowed to go, and you're not allowed to deliver anything, or I'll definitely break your legs, and you won't get any food today."

Gu Zhenzhu rubbed her ears, her face falling. She had finally gotten some meat on her plate today.

At this moment, Gu Zhenzhu couldn't remember anything about Wen Zhiqing; she was only thinking about having meat to eat.

Wu Meili tried to persuade Gu Jianing to continue pestering Wen Zhuqing, but Gu Jianing remembered her words and, although she retorted on the spot, she was also someone who held a grudge.

So, when he got home, he repeated Wu Meili's words to his mother.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chunhua exploded. She slammed down the spatula, her anger blazing. "Ningning, you've been fooled by that old woman Wu Meili! What's so great about Wen Zhiqing? Zexi is much better!"

Gu Jianing blinked and nodded, resting her head on her mother's shoulder, and said softly, "Mother, I didn't hear it. I also think Brother Sheng is good."

Yao Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to touch her daughter's head, but she was afraid that her hands would be covered in cooking fumes.

After comforting his daughter, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself that he would find a time to tear Wu Meili's mouth apart.

Her daughter had finally opened her eyes and didn't like Wen Zhiqing and was with Zexi. If Wu Meili managed to sway her back with just a few words, Yao Chunhua would definitely cry her eyes out.

Fortunately, my daughter listened. "Be good, go sit inside. Dinner will be ready soon. There's braised pork, which you like."

Gu Jianing was overjoyed, and her voice softened even more, "Thank you, Mother. You are so good to me. How can I love you so much?"

Yao Chunhua blushed at her daughter's blunt words, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Gu Jianing returned to her room and pondered that Sheng Zexi would be coming to propose marriage tomorrow. She should ask him what the environment was like in the Northwest Military Region and what she should bring.

Meanwhile, Sheng Zexi, whom Gu Jianing was thinking about, had already picked up his maternal grandparents from the airport and driven them to the hotel.

He had already booked rooms for the two elderly people, and as soon as he put down his luggage, he was looked at and sized up by them.

As they looked them over, Grandpa and Grandma Sang couldn't help but tear up.

"Grandpa and Grandma haven't seen you in so long. You've been coming back to Beijing less and less these past few years. Even if you don't come back to the Sheng family, you can come back to the Sang family. Don't always leave yourself all alone, without even a home." Grandma Sang hugged her grandson and couldn't hold back her tears. She knew that they felt sorry for her grandson's suffering.
