Chapter 98: Wasn't it all bought with family money?
Lin Yue'e grabbed her wrist in one swift motion. How could an old woman possibly be a match for Lin Yue'e?
"Old woman, you still want to hit me? Your Su Manli almost killed me and nearly made my son lose his mother. I think your whole family should go to hell. You're all evil spirits. She took a fancy to my man, but he didn't like her, so she tried to kill me. And you say I'm ill-mannered? Your family is so well-mannered. If you don't like someone, you just kill them. Your family's manners are really good."
Everyone had previously followed the Su family in saying that Gu Jingyan was a bad person, sending people he grew up with to prison.
They'd often cursed Gu Jingyan for being an ingrate and heartless. Now, hearing that Su Manli had actually tried to kill Gu Jingyan's wife to steal him away, they were all utterly incredulous. Many couldn't understand—it was just a girlfriend, after all.
If you don't like someone, just find someone else. Why go through all this trouble to kill someone else? Now you've gotten yourself into this mess.
"I never expected this. So Su Manli had her eye on Gu Lao Er. No wonder she suddenly got divorced. By the way, if she liked Gu Lao Er, why didn't she just marry him? Why did she take in a son-in-law? And then she got divorced again just a few months later."
"Oh, so that's how it happened, Gu Jingyan. But what you say makes sense, what kind of good man would become a live-in son-in-law? And Gu Lao Er even got into university."
"Of course! If she wanted to get married, she would have done it already. What business is it of mine? It's clear that Gu Jingyan never liked her, yet she still insisted on going to find her. And then she tried to kill me. Should we go to the police instead of respecting her? What did I do wrong? What did Gu Jingyan do wrong?"
Lin Yue'e crossed her arms and looked back at the people who had just been helping to criticize Gu Jingyan for being an ingrate.
Now that they understood the truth, they all smiled sheepishly at the Gu family. However, when they looked at the Su family again, they instinctively took a step back. Good heavens, they were about to kill someone over a mere disagreement!
Are all members of the Su family like this? I'll have to be careful when dealing with them in the future.
Gu Jingyan stood behind her, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at her haughty expression.
Then I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. I turned around and saw it was my mom.
Grandma Su was so angry with Lin Yue'e that she wanted to hit her, but she couldn't beat her in a fight, nor could she win an argument. Now, this woman had even revealed the real reason why her granddaughter had been arrested. For a moment, she glared angrily at Gu Jingyan.
"Gu Jingyan, I think you're blind! You didn't marry my Manli, but instead married this country bumpkin. Look at her, she doesn't even know how to respect her elders. She's bullying an old woman like me..."
Grandma Su immediately slapped her thigh and started wailing again.
"Hey, I respect the elderly for their virtue. But you, who insist on calling black white, are a morally bankrupt old person. You're a bad person who's grown old. Do you deserve respect?"
The woman surnamed Li saw Wang Lan approaching and immediately began to sow discord.
"Wang Lan, this is the rural wife your Gu Jingyan found. Look at her, she's already so formidable on her first visit. I wonder how you two will get along in the future? With such a formidable daughter-in-law, you'll probably have to treat her like royalty. She has no respect for her elders at all. How can she possibly be dutiful to you two old folks in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue'e immediately turned around and saw a woman taking the child from Gu Jingyan's arms.
Gu Jingyan immediately pulled her hand over.
"Mom, this is my wife, Lin Yue'e. Look how good she is to me; she stood up for me as soon as she got back."
Gu Jingyan's words made Wang Lan, who had already heard what Li Cuihua had said, lose her composure.
"Alright, stop joking. The food at home is all ready. Go home now."
"Yes, I'll do whatever Mom says." Lin Yue'e immediately put on a smiling face.
Just then, Gu An, who was being held in Wang Lan's arms, accidentally touched Wang Lan's mouth with his little hand. Wang Lan had intended to give her daughter-in-law a hard time, but when her grandson's little hand touched her, she couldn't help but laugh.
No one paid any attention to the sour faces of Old Lady Su and Li Cuihua anymore.
"Yes, hurry back, Grandma Su, stop making a scene all day long. This isn't my brother's fault, it's your Manli who's been thinking too much. You say my Gu Jingyan harmed her, but if my brother's wife is gone, who will be responsible?"
Gu Jingshan advised everyone to stop watching the spectacle and go about their business.
Wang Lan walked ahead carrying her grandson. She had a smile on her face as she looked at her grandson. After returning home, she sat down on the sofa with the child in her arms.
"Mom, I'll take Yue'e back inside first." Gu Jingyan glanced around; his father wasn't home yet.
"Okay. Go ahead."
After the two went inside, Wang Lan noticed that Wang Lan's gaze towards Lin Yue'e's back turned unpleasant.
"My dear grandson, how did you end up in the belly of such a rural woman?"
Wang Lan had initially thought that Lin Yue'e, a woman from the countryside, would give birth to a child who would be dark-skinned and ugly. However, when she first saw Gu An, his fair face, big eyes, and chubby cheeks made him seem like the grandson of her dreams. Now, she held her grandson tightly, but the thought of the child's mother made her uneasy.
"Luckily, you look like your dad."
Lin Yue'e followed Gu Jingyan back to a house, which had been specially cleaned.
Lin Yue'e sat on the edge of the bed, and could still smell the sunshine from the freshly dried bedding. Clearly, Gu Jingyan was quite popular with his parents at home.
"We'll stay here for now."
Gu Jingyan took everything out of his luggage bag.
When Lin Yue'e saw what he took out, she realized that they had just returned and hadn't given the items to the person yet. She immediately picked up the things she had prepared earlier and went out.
Gu Jingyan followed them into the living room.
"Mom, these are things we brought back from over there for the family."
Every time Lin Yue'e called out "Mom," it sounded stiff, but she couldn't stop calling her "Mom" either.
Wang Lan was just telling her grandson that rural wives are stingy, coming back empty-handed. No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Yue'e came out carrying two large bags of things.
"We're all family, why bring anything? It's all bought with family money, it's just a waste of money."
Wang Lan didn't even glance at Lin Yue'e, but in her heart she was thinking, "What's the point of bringing them? The money they're spending isn't even their own. They're just passing through my eyes; in the end, it's all their own money."
Wang Lan's words immediately extinguished Lin Yue'e's previous enthusiasm.
She had originally planned to introduce the things she brought to others, but suddenly felt it was rather pointless.
Gu Jingyan hadn't expected his mother to say that. He stepped forward and took Lin Yue'e's hand, then said gently:
"Mom, what are you saying? If I brought you something you said was bought with family money, and then I really didn't bring it for you, you'd be furious with me. Look, this is something Yue'e specially found at our local market. It's good rabbit fur, perfect for making an undershirt for Dad and you each. It'll be comfortable and warm in winter. Oh, and there's also a huge bag of rabbit jerky here. Even if you had the money, could you buy that?"
