Chapter 216 Hey, you've suddenly gotten a brain? I really do look down on you!
Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Gu exchanged a glance. After hearing what they had just heard, they understood everything.
The mother-in-law and uncle-in-law favored sons over daughters and didn't value Erlang's wife. Chang'er was just teasing them on purpose!
But the way the mother-in-law and uncle acted was truly displeasing.
Chang'er is still too good-tempered.
Aunt Gu poured a bowl of sweet water for Zhou Xiaoniu. "Okay, we understand. Thank you for your hard work. Have some water to cool down before you go play with your uncles."
"Thank you, Auntie," Zhou Xiaoniu said, squinting as he thanked Sister-in-law Gu.
After the boys went back to tinkering with their little gadgets, Sister-in-law Gu frowned and said to her mother, "Mother, I heard that my in-laws and uncles don't seem like good people. Chang'er specially sent Xiao Niu up first to let us know, probably so that we can be mentally prepared in advance!"
Mother Gu's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. She nodded and said, "Go and talk to the eldest son. I'll go and talk to the second son and his wife."
There's no way to make Chang'er the only clown.
Not long after, Lin Chang'er and her group arrived.
When Li's mother and Li Da saw the large area of tree sheds on the low slope, their brows furrowed.
Gu's mother, sister-in-law, eldest son, and second son were already waiting at the intersection.
Because Lin Chang'e had given a warning beforehand, she was not surprised to see the mother and son acting this way.
Lin Chang'er still politely introduced the two sides, and the Gu family members greeted the Li family mother and sons politely.
Li's mother and Li Da harbored some resentment, so their expressions were not very warm.
Li Er, after exchanging greetings, began to chat, saying, "This flood was truly dangerous. My third sister has caused trouble for my in-laws, including my mother-in-law, uncle, aunt, and my third sister-in-law."
With the patriarch present, Lin Chang'er remained silent.
Mother Gu chimed in, "Second Uncle, you're too kind. Your wife is the one who has brought forth many children for our Gu family. How could she be a burden?"
"However, to be honest, the incident happened so suddenly that day, and it was thanks to Chang'er who made the decision."
Sister-in-law Gu chimed in, “It’s not just Mother, the villagers are helping out of respect for Third Brother’s wife. Otherwise, how could the men dare to get involved in the delivery room?”
"If it weren't for those men who helped form a human wall to shield her from the wind and rain, how could my second sister-in-law have given birth in peace!"
"The two experienced old ladies were invited by Aunt Zhou at the request of my third sister-in-law. Not only that, but the small ginseng was also given to my third sister-in-law by her own decision."
"Therefore, even if we can forget our second brother and second uncle, we must never forget the affection that our third sister-in-law had for our second sister-in-law."
Gu Erlang nodded in agreement.
Li Er was taken aback. He had only thought that his third sister-in-law was a person with her own opinions, but he never expected that she would be able to take charge of the Gu family.
He already thought Lin Chang'er was a good person, and now he thinks of her even more highly.
Li's mother and Li Da's faces darkened even more. What kind of person is the youngest in the family who acts like a tyrant at home, and even outsiders have to watch their expressions?
Everyone says that barley can't be ripe and wheat can't be ripe, so how could she bypass her two sisters-in-law?
Li's mother felt very uncomfortable, and thought that her second son was really not very bright. Had he forgotten what he was doing and started exchanging pleasantries with the Gu family first?
Mother Li immediately smoothed her hair and said sarcastically, "I had no idea that a young wife was running the household in my in-laws' house."
Lin Chang'er has been busy these days, so Gu's mother and sister-in-law have also had a lot of work to do.
The two of them are no longer the cowards they used to be.
Like Lin Chang'er, Sister-in-law Gu still cared about her elders, so Gu's mother didn't have as many concerns.
As mothers, none of us can bear to see our children suffer.
Mother Gu said, "Perhaps it's because we live far apart, and the local customs are different every ten miles. It's possible that you haven't met my mother before, but you have today."
That's why they say, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in Rome, do as the Romans do; if you disagree, just keep quiet.
Lin Chang'er and Sister-in-law Gu exchanged a glance, and each of them cast an approving look at Gu's mother.
Mother Gu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Li's mother's face immediately darkened, and Li Da was also unhappy, feeling that Gu's mother had bullied his mother, and was about to retaliate.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Li Er immediately tried to smooth things over, "I don't know, that shed is where my third sister lives. Is it convenient for her to visit?"
This time, Gu's mother did not immediately respond, but looked at Lin Chang'er first. Lin Chang'er understood and said, "That oilcloth shed over there is where Second Sister-in-law and the little one live. Since Uncle has come from afar, it is natural that he should make things convenient for them even if it is inconvenient."
Li Er was delighted to hear this, but Lin Chang'er changed the subject, "However, Uncle has traveled such a long way, he must be tired. He should rest first, eat something, take a bath to relax, and then go see Second Sister-in-law."
Li Da was originally extremely dissatisfied with Lin Chang'er, but he felt a little better when he heard there was food. He snorted, "You're quite sensible."
Mother Li's expression softened. After the flood, some of their belongings were washed away, and those that weren't washed away were ruined. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in this state.
Only Li Er said awkwardly, "We left in a hurry and didn't bring any change of clothes."
Gu Dalang had a good impression of his second uncle and immediately said, "We are about the same size. If you don't mind, second uncle, you can wear mine for now."
Li Er was far from being disgusted; he was too busy thanking them to even acknowledge them, and hurriedly nodded his thanks.
Mother Li looked at Mother Gu as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and Mother Gu was very accommodating, saying, "My mother-in-law's figure is quite different from mine, so my clothes probably won't fit. Why don't you wear my eldest son's wife's clothes for now?"
Sister-in-law Gu pursed her lips, but ultimately agreed.
Li Da asked anxiously, "What about me? Whose clothes should I wear?" After being soaked in the rain for so many days and walking such a long distance today, he felt like he was about to stink.
Lin Chang'er didn't want to pay any attention to this idiot, but for the sake of her second sister-in-law and nephew's health, she still held her nose and looked at Gu Dalang, "Big brother, do you have any extra clothes in your luggage?"
There's no other way. My second brother is too small to fit in with anyone. So, we have to sacrifice my eldest brother.
Gu Dalang scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Li Da's face immediately darkened. "What do you mean by this? My second brother wears your clothes, but I can't wear them. Are you looking down on me?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled inwardly, "Hey, you've suddenly gotten smarter. I really do look down on you!"
However, for the sake of my second sister-in-law, and to successfully send away the plague, I'll endure +3.
Dalang, who was originally clumsy with words, became anxious after being scolded by Li Da, and the more anxious he became, the less he could explain himself.
Li Da was even angrier, and immediately rolled up his sleeves...
