Chapter 85: Free Babysitter
Gu Wan covered her mouth and laughed.
"Dad, this is just a metaphor. Hitting someone rashly won't have a significant effect. We saw my former uncle today. He has a new girlfriend. If we can find out about his new girlfriend and start from there, we can really strike a blow to their family."
Gu Wan has seen a lot of stories like this. To the Sun family in the past, her aunt was truly a good daughter-in-law.
Not only do you hand over all your salary but you also have to do all the housework at home. What do you call this?
Free babysitter, not only that, this free babysitter even pays for it.
Gu Wan did not comment on her relatives and elders, but if her daughter was so obsessed with love that she did such a thing for a man in the future, she would rather beat such a stupid girl to death.
Now, as a family member, she still has to find ways to help her family.
Being unable to have children should just be an excuse. Since the Sun family could abandon such a practical daughter-in-law without hesitation, it must be that Sun Qiwen's new partner can bring greater value to their family.
Only by starting from this aspect can we truly strike a blow to the Sun family.
She explained this to her parents, and Gu Zhiqiang and Qiao Yuemei were all stunned.
Can this be done?
It's true. People from big cities are different. They have seen and thought more than them.
Fortunately, Gu Wan didn’t know what his parents were thinking. If he knew, he would just sigh. What a waste.
In the future, won’t there be a bunch of these messed up, bloody stories about scumbags on Yahoo, Baidu, and YouTube?
On the one hand, the old lady was very relieved because of her son's attitude. The children had a good relationship and the older brother was willing to accept his younger sister who got divorced and came home.
As a mother, she was naturally happy.
At the same time, Shi Guixiang also had many worries. After all, there were not only three sons in the family, but also a daughter-in-law.
If Xiangxiang really returns home to live permanently in the future, will her sisters-in-law really be happy?
In this family, even blood-related brothers and sisters will have conflicts, not to mention aunts and sisters-in-law.
This made Shi Guixiang even more angry. Sun Qiwen's family were really inhumane.
Gu Xiang had been married to him for several years, washing his clothes, cooking for him and taking care of the whole family, but all her wages were taken away by Sun Qiwen's mother.
She also used the fact that Gu Xiang didn't have children to suppress her daughter. It's just that women often suffer from this kind of problem because it's difficult to find evidence to refute it.
Therefore, Shi Guixiang really doesn't want her daughter to live at home for a long time. It would be best if she could have a job in the county town to support herself.
Wanwan is right when she said that it is better to rely on yourself than on others. The most important thing for a woman is to be independent and self-reliant.
Moreover, Wanwan has a job now, and the second son's wife also has income as a temporary worker. If the third son goes to the mountains, he can really make money.
This way the family will have a better income, and the old man can go have his legs checked again. And then it is up to the daughter whether she wants to go home or not.
Sure enough, when the whole family gathered in the evening, the old lady announced the news.
The reactions of the sons and daughters-in-law were different. The eldest and second daughters-in-law were all worried about:
"After Xiangxiang and Sun Qiwen divorce, can she still keep her job at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Qiao Yuemei held a similar view to her daughter: "He dares. Xiangxiang has worked there for several years and has not made any mistakes. The Sun family is not a high-ranking official, so they don't have the ability to do that."
After all, Qiao Yuemei had also worked in the commune, and her husband and daughter had analyzed the situation with her, so Qiao Yuemei knew a little more.
It was Gu Wan who took the lead and analyzed the pros and cons with the family. The top priority at the moment was to keep his sister-in-law's job.
The key is that the girl has to stand on her own feet. Only when she is stable can she carry out the next plan.
As for the rest, we can take it step by step. According to what she had said to her daughter before, the old lady directly arranged for her sons to take their grandsons to visit Gu Xiang in the county town in turn. This was also an attitude of support from her family.
It is obvious that Gu Xiang is being excluded and isolated whether she is working at the supply and marketing cooperative or returning to the staff dormitory.
She didn't know what bad things the damn Sun family said outside, but Shi Guixiang believed that as long as her sons went there a few more times, no one would dare to bully Gu Xiang openly anymore.
After all, her sons are all tall and strong, ahem, at least they can help ward off evil spirits and ghosts.
This is one aspect. Another thing is that Gu Wan stared at Qi Bin and asked, "I seem to have heard you say before that one of your comrades returned to his hometown after retirement and is currently working in the county?"
Qi Bin immediately said, "I will talk to my comrades."
Gu Wan nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was sensible and that her resentment for the watch ticket was slightly alleviated.
Then Shi Guixiang felt a chill down her spine. She had just emphasized to her son and daughter-in-law that Xiangxiang's affairs should not be discussed in the village for the time being.
After all, these days, it is not a glorious thing for a woman to be divorced.
Family disgrace should not be made public, but people forget that recently there has been a stranger in the family whose surname is not Gu.
However, Qi Bin has been acting too naturally in the Gu family recently, and according to Wanwan, they still need his help.
Therefore, the old lady could only helplessly ignore this accident.
It was not until after dinner that Qi Bin finally found an opportunity to be alone with Gu Wan, and he actually took out a small and exquisite women's watch.
Then he handed it to Gu Wan and said, "I was stupid before. I finally got the ticket for the watch and I just wanted to give it to you. I should have given you the watch directly."
Gu Wan neither accepted nor refused. She blinked and asked seriously, "Why did you give me a watch?"
"Because you need it. You have to go to work at the commune every morning. It would be more convenient to have a watch to check the time."
Is this a reason?
No matter what, Gu Wan decided to accept it unconditionally, since she really needed it anyway.
She remembered seeing a sentence on an online forum in later life: If a man wants to spend money on you, you must not refuse if you can afford it.
If you refuse him too many times, he will no longer spend money on you.
Gradually, he will even think that you are not worthy of spending money.
The watch was a timely relief for Gu Wan, and she accepted the gift with peace of mind.
Anyway, she will try to go shopping in the system mall more often recently, and give it to Qi Bin if she finds a suitable gift.
Seeing that Gu Wan really accepted it, Qi Bin was very happy and wanted to help her put it on her wrist.
However, it is not suitable for him to do such actions at the moment.
It just so happened that Gu Zhiqiang was looking for Qi Bin to continue discussing with him the issue of going into the mountains to collect the goods and how to transport them out, so they went to the yard to talk together.
Gu Wan also prepared to look for Shi Guixiang. She knew that her grandmother’s mood was definitely not as calm as she seemed.
As a result, I went to my grandparents' room, but didn't see anyone. When I came out, I found my grandmother and her mother were knitting in the yard.
