Originally, he knew his mother had always been reluctant to follow him back to his hometown. Simply put, Wa’s mother had always been displeased deep down, showing her son a cold shoulder and never a smile, let alone a good mood to hum a tune.
Listening to his mother suddenly humming a song, Wa Zicong didn’t feel relaxed; instead, he vaguely sensed some eerie atmosphere.
"Mom, is something good happening?" Wa Zicong stood at the kitchen doorway and asked, looking at his mother’s back as she washed rice.
Wa’s mother, not expecting his sudden return, was startled by his abrupt voice. Turning around to look at him, she squinted her eyes and slowly said, "Did you know that Gu Nuan used to have a younger brother?"
Wa Zicong was taken aback; he really hadn’t heard Gu Nuan mention this before.
"Apparently, her mom, out of carelessness or something, caused his death." Wa’s mother kept dropping bombs in front of her son, shaking her head, "Of course, with such unscrupulous matters in her family, how could she dare speak of it? Who would dare to be allied with their family through marriage if they knew?"
Wa Zicong wasn’t thinking what his mother was thinking; he felt there must be something fishy and asked, "Mom, how do you know all this?"
"Today at the vegetable market, her grandmother was accusing her mom, and there were many onlookers." Wa’s mother spoke while wiping the dishes, as if it were no big deal.
As Wa Zicong pondered all this, the phone rang. It wasn’t his, it was his mother’s.
Hearing her phone ring, Wa’s mother put down the dishcloth and went to answer the call. After listening for a while, she covered the mouthpiece, turned around to walk away from her son, and then lowered her voice to the other person, "If you’re coming, stay at the best hotel over here, I’ve already booked a room for you. — What, you want to stay at our house? Of course, I’m welcoming of it, Shanshan, I just worry our modest home might not suit you. If you prefer, then that’s great. Okay, come over later."
After hanging up, Wa’s mother felt like luck was flowing back into their household. Once her son and Lin Yishan got back together, just think, what will the Gu family do? The Gu family will be saddled with a son-in-law who has gone bankrupt.
Wa’s mother’s eyes slightly narrowed, forming a beautiful curve.
That morning, while her mother went to the market to buy vegetables, Gu Nuan was responsible for making breakfast for the men in the house.
Peanut porridge, soy milk, steamed buns, fried dough sticks—she had it all. All of these items were bought first thing in the morning by her mother from downstairs.
After setting everything up, Gu Nuan went to wake everyone up for breakfast.
Her father got up first and went to wash up. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Gu Nuan knocked on her own room’s door, inside which slept her husband and his brother.
Inside, Zhang Sanfeng responded, "Sister-in-law, come in."
Gu Nuan pushed open the door to see Zhang Sanfeng sitting up in bed, already dressed. As for her husband, he was the same as always, sprawled out like a big crab in their small shared apartment, with limbs stretched out, his large size taking up the entire narrow room.
As he slept, unaware of dreaming about something, Yebai murmured, "Wife, wife—"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and remained silent.
Gu Nuan just wanted to kick him.
"Get up." Holding back, Gu Nuan walked over and pulled away the thin blanket from Xiao Yebai.
As a result, this man simply turned over and continued sleeping, grinding his teeth like a child as he slept.
Gu Nuan couldn’t bear to look, and also couldn’t understand how, in such a modest setting as the Gu family home, this fellow, who grew up with a silver spoon, could sleep so soundly, as if he were on a luxurious mattress.
"Are you going to get up or not? If not, I’ll ignore you, and you’ll have no breakfast." Gu Nuan pulled out her ultimate move from living in the apartment.
