While the two were talking, there was a sound of talking outside the house, and then Li Wenting came back and said: "Mom, my dad and the others are back."
After saying that, they entered the house. Li Jinyuan helped carry the things. Behind them, Li Jinhua and his wife looked dusty.
"Mom and Dad, it's been a hard journey." Shen Man went over to pick up the things. The old couple brought a lot of things.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Li Jinhua said with a smile on her face. Although she was a little tired, she was in a good mood.
After everyone was settled and seated, Shen Man looked outside the room. Gu Chen also came back at this time, followed by Gu Nan.
The two of them entered the house one after another, looking unhappy.
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat." Shen Man started to prepare, but did not ask what happened.
After all, Li Jinhua and his wife just came over today. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it after dinner.
Today's meal is very sumptuous. In addition to the boiled fish cooked by Shen Man, there are also ribs stewed with beans, braised pork, and the rest are vegetarian cold dishes.
The family was eating happily. Gu Dacheng hadn't had a drink for a long time. He was so happy today that he drank two more glasses, which made him feel confused.
"Look at you, you never forget to take a sip wherever you go!" Li Jinhua got angry when she saw him and rolled her eyes.
Shen Man advised from the side: "Mom, it's rare for you to come over. It's normal for Dad to be happy and drink two more drinks. Isn't this home?"
Hearing this, Li Jinhua smiled and nodded. She had been feeling quite uneasy, fearing that Shen Man wouldn't like living with them, which was why she didn't come to the city.
When people get older, they tend to look forward and backward. Although she is only in her forties, she has a lot to think about.
What if Shen Man thinks they are trouble and the two of them quarrel again?
However, today's situation also made Li Jinhua see clearly that people do not dislike her.
She was very happy and relaxed a lot.
"Brothers and sisters, please go back. It's getting late and Tingting has to go to school tomorrow. I can just clean up these things!" Li Jinhua went over to see Wang Chunying cleaning up and stopped her.
Wang Chunying glanced at the clock and saw that it was indeed quite late. "Okay, sister, you can live in peace. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"That's right." She remembered something and turned around and said: "Gu Yuan's work is settled, let him prepare. If Meizi is willing to come, let her come first. It is difficult to arrange work now, so we have to wait."
In fact, they focused on Gu Yuan's work first, but there was nothing wrong with that. Work in the city was already stressful, so it was normal even if he couldn't find it.
Gu Yuan's work has been done for three months before it was completed.
Hearing this, Li Jinhua nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry to bother you. Go slowly!"
She followed him out to see the person away.
When he arrived at the door, Li Jinyuan said: "Sister, I think Xiaoman is a nice and sensible person. Just live there with peace of mind. Chenzi bought a house. If it's not convenient then, you can live there again."
He knew that Gu Chen had bought several houses. Now that the house prices are not high, he just bought them.
Hearing what he said, Li Jinhua was a little helpless. Was it because her expression was too obvious? Why did she keep saying that?
She replied: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
It's the same wherever she is, it would be even better if she could help the children.
After sending the people away, Li Jinhua went back to the house to help clean up. Gu Nan didn't leave either and followed her to wash the dishes.
"Old girl, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy that your mother is here?" she said with a sideways glance.
Hearing this, Gu Nan sighed, "Mom, can you please stop being picky here? I've been troubled enough this day."
She had a long face from the moment she came back, and everyone saw her.
"What's going on?" Li Jinhua asked doubtfully.
At this time, Gu Chen came back outside the house. When he saw them talking, he went over and said, "Mom, you old girl has become a loser and is dating a gangster!"
He didn't look very good, and his face darkened when he mentioned this matter.
"What? A gangster?" Li Jinhua looked at her daughter with wide eyes in surprise: "Old girl, we can't associate with that kind of person."
This is not a good thing. A gangster means he has no job and just hangs around all day long.
She had heard from her time in the countryside that gangsters in the city had nothing to do all day, stealing and fighting.
Not to mention dating, not even dating!
"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense! Liu Huaqiang is not a gangster!" Gu Nan quickly explained, looking at Gu Chen with resentment in her eyes.
I had agreed not to say it, so why did I say it again?
Gu Chen sneered: "What's the matter? Are you afraid of being a gangster? You're obviously not a good person, but you're really good at it."
He feels that girls have a bad taste in looking at people. Who are they looking for?
Shen Man listened without interrupting and continued to clean the kitchen. After all, this was the Gu family's business. Although she was the daughter-in-law, Gu Nan had a brother and parents, so she didn't need to worry about it.
Li Jinhua had a stern face and said sternly: "Gu Nan, let me tell you, if you dare to date such a person, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
"Our family's conditions are average, and you are now a working-class person. How can you deal with gangsters?"
Hearing this, Gu Nan lowered her head and said nothing. At first, she thought so too. She had a serious job, and if she found a partner, she would at least be well-matched. No matter how bad it was, she would never find a partner with a gangster.
This was something she had never thought of.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Jinhua continued: "Stop it immediately! I live in the city now, I think you dare to make a fool of yourself?"
After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Chen: "I will install a single bed in the small house tomorrow and let her come back to live there! I think she is just too ambitious to live outside for a few days!"
"Mom!" Gu Nan looked at her helplessly, but had no way to refute.
"Okay!" Gu Chen nodded and looked at the girl proudly.
It's not that he did it on purpose, but it just doesn't work.
Those people live a messy life and do everything. If Gu Nan wasn't his sister, then he wouldn't look at her twice, just love her as much as you want.
In the end, there was no way to refute, so Gu Nan had no choice but to come back and stay.
There is a single bed at home, but no bedding. Gu Nan will go back to stay tonight and come back with luggage tomorrow.
After cleaning up, Shen Man went back to the house to sleep. It was a very tiring day.
She sat beside the bed, and Gu Chen insisted on washing her feet.
Shen Man said softly: "Is the person Nan Nan is dating really that bad?"
In fact, she feels that a person cannot be defined just because he or she does not have a job.
Not all people who don't have jobs are sneaky people, so I want to ask for clarification.
Gu Chen sighed and replied, "Isn't that right? I went out to do errands with Wu Laosan today, and we happened to see her holding hands with a young man."
"It just so happens that Wu Laosan knows the other person. I heard he is a famous gangster in that area. He does everything."
As for what he does, there is no need to ask more. After all, he is already famous. What kind of name can a gangster be famous for?
If he is famous for doing good deeds, it is impossible to call him a hooligan.
Seeing him say this, Shen Man felt a little helpless.
This girl is also unlucky, and the people she is with are not all good people.
Now that Li Jinhua is here, she is not afraid of Gu Nan being deceived, but there is something she needs to talk about.
