Chapter 109 - 109 The Gu Family’s Tradition of Doting on One’s Wife
“Grandpa, Grandma!” Gu Qingming held her grandmother’s arm and asked in confusion, “Why are you here? Didn’t you go on a trip?”
Grandma Gu looked at her precious granddaughter, who was in good condition and full of energy. She immediately felt relieved.
Her expression immediately changed and she said unhappily, “Girl, have you forgotten about Grandpa and Grandma recently?”
“How is that possible, Grandma?” Gu Qingming shook her head and said seriously, “How would I dare to forget my beloved grandparents!”
These words instantly made Grandpa and Grandma Gu happy.
However, Grandpa Gu’s face was still cold. He said unhappily, “Hmph, you haven’t forgotten about us? Then why didn’t you call Grandpa and Grandma and send a video clip after such a long time?”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she shouted inwardly, “Oh no!”
At that time, she had just returned and had a lot of things to do. After dealing with these things, she went to the countryside and helped her uncles with their problem of selling their watermelons. Then, Gao Wenwen was kidnapped, and so on.
With all these things gathered together, she was so busy that she forgot to contact her grandparents.
Her grandparents were clearly aware of what had happened around her.
Once again, she sincerely admitted her mistake to her grandparents. “I’m sorry, Grandpa, Grandma. It’s my fault. I…”
“Hmph, you were wrong. You shouldn’t have hidden so many things from Grandpa and Grandma,” Grandpa Gu said coldly. “Do you really think that if you don’t tell Grandpa and Grandma and hide it from us, we won’t know what happened to you?”
Looking at the cold aura on her grandfather, Gu Qingming immediately knew that they were really angry.
It seemed like she had to coax her grandparents immediately.
Gu Qingming did not explain. She said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. It’s my fault for making you worry. I should call you every day to let you know that I’m safe and chat with you via video call. In the future, I won’t make such a mistake again.”
“Hmph, it’s good that you know your mistake!” Grandpa Gu said proudly. “You said it yourself. From now on, call Grandpa and Grandma every day!”
“Yes, I will!”
Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Alright, the child knows her mistake. Don’t blame her.”
With that, she looked at Gu Qingming seriously and her face immediately revealed heartache. “Aiyo, look at my precious granddaughter. You’ve lost weight. Look at your face. You’re so thin that your face is not even the size of a palm. Have you not eaten well recently?”
Gu Qingming touched her face which was clearly fleshier than before and smiled. “Grandma, I’ve been eating well. Look, I’m covered in flesh.”
Grandma Gu’s expression changed and she said, “How is there any flesh? You’ve clearly lost weight. During this period of time, ask Chef Zhang to make a few of your favorite dishes. You must eat well!”
Gu Qingming nodded. “Alright, I’ll definitely eat well.”
If Grandma said she had lost weight, she would accept that she had lost weight.
Gu Qingming looked at the time and said to them, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m going to the police station now. When I come back, I’ll definitely accompany Grandpa and Grandma! My eldest brother and the others are still in the living room. Let them chat with you!
Grandpa Gu frowned and looked at her belly. He said unhappily, “Must you go now?”
Gu Qingming shrugged and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. We’ve already arranged a time. Grandpa and Grandma, when I come back, I’ll definitely have a good meal with you!”
Grandpa Gu was still a little dissatisfied. Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Alright, go. Come back quickly. Be careful on the way!”
“Good!”
After Gu Qingming left, Grandma Gu smiled at Master Gu and said happily, “Our precious granddaughter is fine. We can finally be at ease!”
After saying this, she frowned slightly and muttered, “Why has this child been in so much trouble recently? Old man, let’s go to the Southern Mountain Temple another day and ask for a safety talisman for the child?”
Grandpa Gu nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll listen to you. No matter if it’s useful or not, it’ll make us feel at ease!”
Grandma Gu immediately said unhappily, “What nonsense are you talking about? The talisman we asked for will definitely be useful.”
Grandpa Gu saw that the old lady was a little unhappy and immediately nodded. “Yes, yes. The talisman we asked for will definitely be useful to my precious granddaughter!”
According to the Gu family’s tradition, the men of the Gu family were all slaves to their wives and doted on their wives.
When Grandpa Gu was young, he was famous for doting on his wife. Now, their son, Gu Jianguo, was also famous for doting on his wife in Sea City.
In the upper-class circle of noblewomen, those noblewomen and socialites were envious and jealous of Mrs. Gu. Every day, they would secretly gossip about her, saying that she was a sparrow turning into a phoenix, Cinderella, and so on. However, on the surface, they still had to praise her.
If Gu Jianguo found out that someone did not respect her or even humiliate her, he would not bother to take revenge on a woman, but he would not show mercy to their men.
Of course, Mrs. Gu was not to be trifled with.
Whether it was when she was young or when she grew up, she was the overlord belle in the village.
When she was in university, she was famous for being arrogant. At the same time, she was also famous for being petty and taking revenge on the spot.
Therefore, there were not many people who could provoke Shi Yashu. After all, no one wanted to be in a sorry state.
Who would dare to offend her?
Later on, when she married Gu Jianguo and became Mrs. Gu, she restrained herself. She learned to be the mistress of a noble family and be a good wife. She did not want to embarrass Gu Jianguo in the upper-class circle and provide fodder for gossip that he had married an unpresentable Cinderella.
Her noble and elegant temperament quickly made her integrate into the circle. Many noble ladies and socialites even vaguely looked to Mrs. Gu as a role model.
Mrs. Gu was beautiful, had a good figure, and was good at socializing. This made many men in the upper-class circle envious of Gu Jianguo and think that he had married a good wife.
Mrs. Gu had fought for her husband’s face. During that period of time, Gu Jianguo could even walk with the wind.
Of course, Madam Gu was able to quickly blend into the circle of noblewomen because of her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Gu thought that she had met the best mother-in-law in the world.
She did not despise her identity as a village girl. Instead, she taught her how to be the mistress of the Gu family and how to communicate with the noblewomen.
After she gave birth, not only did she not favor boys over girls, she even personally served her during her confinement period and took care of the child.
After an entire month of confinement, she had gained a lot of weight, while her mother-in-law had lost a lot of weight.
It touched her and made her heart ache.
She, Shi Yashu, was really lucky in this lifetime.
