Chapter 82 New Partner

Gu Xiang didn't know how to tell her mother and niece about this.

The old lady was furious and looked at her daughter with disappointment, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Gu Wan said directly: "Grandma, aunt, I will treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant. The food in the restaurant over there in the commune is not very good, and I just want to try the skills of the chef of the state-owned restaurant in the county."

This reason was impeccable. Shi Guixiang thought that her daughter seemed to have not eaten yet, so they could go to the state-owned restaurant together.

They didn't need to worry about the money and bills, because Gu Wan happened to have some with her. In fact, it was a special gift pack that she had snatched from the system mall before, which contained special bills of this era.

What made Gu Wan depressed was that he had meat coupons, grain coupons and meal coupons, but he didn't have a single cloth coupon, which was what his family needed most.

Alas, I don’t know what the rules are for the red envelope group and the special-price products in the system mall. Now Gu Wan can only take out Guo 12 to check when he is alone.

Gu Xiang hesitated for a moment, but decided to go with her mother and eldest niece.

Although it was her first time in such a place, Shi Guixiang was not at all timid. She led her daughter and granddaughter in and found a place to sit down.

Then a waiter came over with a menu. Shi Guixiang took it instinctively, then remembered that she couldn't read.

At this time, Qi Bin walked in, and Shi Guixiang waved to him to come and sit together.

"Binbin, are you here to eat too?" Shi Guixiang was a little confused.

She remembered that Qi Bin seemed to eat in the small kitchen at noon?
And it seems that Qi Bin particularly likes the dishes cooked by her granddaughter and eats more than the commune leaders.

"No, grandma, I came in to look for you." Qi Bin answered calmly.

There happened to be only an empty seat opposite Gu Wan, so he sat down naturally.

When Gu Wan looked up, she just happened to see the stingy guy who gave her a watch and then took it back. His face looked a little unhappy.

Qi Bin ignored all that and continued talking to Shi Guixiang, recommending: "Grandma, it's not meal time now, so if you order dishes, they won't be very good. But the dumplings in this restaurant are good, I've eaten here before, you can try it, Grandma."

Gu Xiang didn't know who the other person was, but judging from his stature and temperament, and the fact that he often ate at state-owned restaurants, he must be someone else.

I was surprised for a moment. When did my family get to know such a person?
After all, it was Gu Wan's first time here and he was not familiar with the place, so he followed Qi Bin's instructions and simply ordered three servings of dumplings with different flavors.

Shi Guixiang originally wanted to stop them, thinking that they had already eaten lunch and would not be able to finish ordering so much now.

Who knew Qi Bin said, "That's right, there are three different flavors of dumplings here, you can try a little of each and see which one you like best."

White flour dumplings also contain meat or eggs. Gu Xiang, who lives in the Sun family in the county town, may not be able to eat them more than a few times a year.

How could she not like something? But when the words came to her lips, she remained silent.

Whatever she does is wrong and no one likes her anyway, so why bother saying more and making more mistakes?

Not only Shi Guixiang, but even Gu Wan noticed her aunt's unusual silence, and she must have something on her mind.

Food is the most important thing for people, so let’s eat dumplings first.

Three flavors of dumplings were served. Each one was very generous in portion and looked very tempting and fragrant.

Several people shared the meal and enjoyed it very much.

But suddenly, Gu Wan noticed that there was something wrong with her grandmother's gaze and followed her line of sight.

There was a man and a well-dressed young woman shopping outside. The two behaved very intimately and smiled at each other from time to time. Shi Guixiang was about to stand up with a cold face, but Gu Xiang held her hand and said, "No, mother."

"This is on the street. He has no shame at all, and you are still protecting him?"

"No," Gu Xiang smiled bitterly, "Mom, I have divorced him, and that is his new girlfriend."

When saying this, Gu Xiang's face was calm, and she didn't even feel the heartache or want to cry.

Or maybe the most painful period has passed, and crying and making a fuss are of no use. What can I do now that things have come to this?

Gu Xiang knew that she had to live bravely and not let her family worry, so she could only bury everything in the past and start her new life seriously.

Looking back on the past, Gu Xiang sadly discovered that from dating to marriage and then to divorce, it seemed that there were not many sweet and happy moments between her and Sun Qiwen.

Once things have a breakthrough point, everything else will come naturally.

Because she had already spoken, Gu Xiang no longer had any psychological burden and simply told everything calmly.

Just as Gu Xiang finished saying all this and smiled bitterly, Shi Guixiang's eyes turned red and she pinched her daughter hard.

"Silly girl, why have I never heard you talk about these things in all these years?"

How can I say it? I can't say it and I dare not say it. It was her own will that led to the bitter consequences she is facing now.

How could I have the nerve to cry out to my family and ask for help?

Moreover, she knew that something had happened in her mother's family some time ago and they were busy taking care of themselves. Gu Xiang didn't want to worry her parents about these things anymore.

Therefore, Gu Xiang deliberately said: "Mom, you said at the beginning that it was me who insisted on getting married, and I will have to bear any problems in the future by myself."

Actually, it was because the faces of the Sun family were too ugly and the words used by Sun's mother were too harsh when they were getting a divorce.

No one even knew what Sun Qiwen said outside. Her colleagues at the supply and marketing cooperative thought it was her fault that the Sun family had to get a divorce, which made Gu Xiang very passive.

She was indeed in an isolated and helpless situation in the county town. How could the people from the old Gu family come to support her when they couldn't easily enter the city?
Another reason why Gu Xiang didn't dare to make a fuss was that she was worried that she would lose her job at the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, it was Sun's father who used his connections to get her the job.

No matter what will happen in the future, Gu Xiang thought, at least she should work for a few more months. At least after the divorce she can get her monthly salary in her own hands.

She knew that her family had borrowed money after her father had leg problems, and Gu Xiang wanted to earn some money to help her family pay off the debt first.

Because she considered so much and thought about all these things, she did not choose to break up with the Sun family on the issue of divorce.

Shi Guixiang was so angry that she almost died. "You, you know that I was just saying that in anger."

The mother and daughter's caring bickering actually reduced a lot of sadness for each other.

Gu Wan listened from the side and felt something was wrong: "Aunt, the man outside just now was my uncle-in-law, no, was he my former uncle-in-law?"

There is nothing to hide. My eldest niece has never seen Sun Qiwen, but her mother must know him.

So, Gu Xiang nodded calmly.

"Is the girl my ex-brother-in-law is dating from a well-off family?"
