Chapter 114 The finishing touch

Secretary Zheng and his wife, who had always had a harmonious relationship, began to look down on Sun Qiwen, seeing that he was dating a new partner while speaking ill of his ex-wife everywhere.

Looking at him, he is not a good guy!

Seeing that the situation was beginning to develop in a direction that was not favorable to them, Sun Weizhong still tried to save the situation. He tried hard to force a smile and said to Gu Wan:

"My dear comrade, it seems that you have misunderstood. My son and your aunt were living in extreme pain. Although he knew Comrade Wan at that time, he actually started dating after divorcing your aunt."

As he spoke, he rubbed his face and pretended to be in great pain: "We, the Sun family, are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and we also think we are worthy of your aunt, but——"

He said half of it on purpose and revealed half. Sun Weizhong is worthy of being the director of the supply and marketing cooperative for many years. His acting skills are first-rate.

Gu Wan smiled calmly, "Yes, it's my aunt who is very good. Because I found her a job, my aunt didn't receive any salary in the past few years of marriage. Your family depends on her for support. Even after the divorce, my aunt who had worked in the city for many years was penniless and almost starved to death."

It was because he realized this that Gu Wan secretly left money for Gu Xiang that day, which also made him even more angry towards the Sun family.

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention others, the faces of Sun Weizhong and Sun Qiwen, father and son, turned pale and blue.

"It's not what you said. You are a young girl, but you are full of nonsense."

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask?"

I wanted to make some excuses, but I didn't know where to start.

Because some things cannot stand up to scrutiny, especially since each of the people present is capable. If they really take action, I'm afraid their family background will be discovered after a while.

Sun Weizhong was almost mad with anger. He saw that he could successfully help his son find a good job, but it was ruined by this bad girl who popped out of nowhere.

If looks could kill, Gu Wan would have been killed countless times by now.

It’s a pity that it’s not possible. Gu Wan is still standing here.

But she smiled at Sun Qiwen innocently:

"Ex-uncle, in fact, after divorce, men and women have nothing to do with each other. Even if you remarry the day after divorcing my aunt, it has nothing to do with my aunt.

I just feel it's unfair. Why should my aunt-in-law work for nothing just because your family found her a job? And when she was your daughter-in-law, she worked hard and took care of all the housework. Shouldn't you compensate her for the loss of her youth when we divorce?"

This is a saying from later generations. When Gu Wan said it this way, it really sounded culturally fashionable.

However, Secretary Zheng’s wife had already introduced him before. She grew up in a large compound in the provincial capital for the past 18 years. It was normal for her to be more knowledgeable and educated than them.

The father and son of the Sun family, who were already in the wrong as the villains, now huddled aside like quails and dared not say a word.

Wan Liguo realized that his daughter might have been deceived, and he was heartbroken and remained silent.

Gu Wan, on the other hand, knew how to handle things properly, so he bowed to Secretary Zheng and his wife, and then said:

"Uncle Zheng, I am ignorant and have disturbed your fun today. Don't worry, I will make something good next time and I guarantee you will be satisfied." These words sounded nice, and Secretary Zheng's wife was the first to laugh: "Xiao Gu, I'll wait. Haha, my biggest concern every noon now is to eat the meal you cook as soon as possible."

Even the old leader chimed in: "Oh, it's my fault. I want to eat the delicious food made by Comrade Xiao Gu every day."

The old leader had no choice but to compliment a female comrade against his will. He was the one who brought these people here, so it was his fault that things turned out like this.

The old leader was only indirectly expressing his apology by doing this.

Gu Wan accepted it happily and said with a smile: "It's okay, Grandpa, come and visit us more often when you are free. We have a small kitchen in our commune, and I am the chef, just to entertain distinguished guests like you."

These words were soothing, and the old leader smiled. The awkward atmosphere that had been created before seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

As a result, the old leader became more interested in Gu Wan, especially wanting to know: "You were a rich lady in the provincial capital before, how come you also--"

As soon as these words came out, the old leader immediately realized that saying such things to a little girl seemed a bit occupationally discriminatory.

Gu Wan didn't care, but just said: "I like to eat delicious food, so I wondered if I could make it myself. There was a master chef in the compound who used to make a big banquet, and I learned from him on purpose."

This may be true or false, but it is impossible for people in Yangjiang County to deliberately go to the provincial capital compound to investigate. This is the most suitable reason Gu Wan found for his good cooking skills.

Compared to the Gu family, they felt distressed and thought that the Qin family was not being kind to their daughter, so Wanwan had to learn to cook by herself at a very young age.

The old leader was thinking in another way. He felt that Comrade Xiao Gu’s spirit of hard work and study was worth learning, because it was not something that ordinary people could do to learn something if they liked it and to achieve such an achievement.

So the old leader specially praised Comrade Gu Wan. Although she grew up as a rich lady in the provincial capital, the peasant mentality in her bones allowed her to maintain the beautiful qualities of simplicity, kindness and hard work.

Many girls from wealthy families today cannot compare to this.

This is also one of the reasons why the old leader looked down on women in the past. He himself came from a poor background and relied on his military exploits to gain a foothold in the county management class. As a result, he ended up seeing the true faces of many so-called children of cadres.

Especially some girls, who don't have much ability but call themselves rich ladies, are really contemptible.

Including the old leaders and Secretary Zheng and his wife, everyone was very interested in Comrade Gu Wan. With the response of Gu Zhiqiang and Qiao Yuemei, the topic soon revolved around them.

The three uninvited guests nearby could only watch helplessly, unable to get a word in but also unwilling to leave.

But seeing that they were talking more and more happily, Secretary Zheng and his wife even invited the old leader to stay here for a few more days so that they could taste Comrade Xiao Gu's delicious cooking skills.

Sun Weizhong knew that there was no point in them staying any longer, so he said goodbye and left in disgrace.

As soon as he left the Zheng family's yard, Sun Qiwen couldn't help but curse, "You ignorant fellow, you dare to ruin my good deeds."

Before Sun Weizhong could warn his son, Wan Liguo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, which frightened him.

Sun Weizhong quickly signaled to his son with his eyes, telling him to talk about it when he got home. Now that the plan to change jobs was about to fall through, he couldn’t afford to offend his future father-in-law.
