"Mengmeng, why did it take you so long to open the door? Do you have any towels? It's raining outside and we didn't bring an umbrella, so we're all soaked." Gu Meng had just opened the door when Erniang rushed in, speaking loudly without a hint of politeness.
Er Shu and Gu Nan followed behind Er Shu's wife, and when Gu Nan saw Gu Mian, she sweetly called out "Sister Gu Mian".
Gu Mian didn't like her annoying aunt very much, but she was quite good to Gu Nan.
She noticed that there was also a young man walking at the back, whose eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Auntie Er. Gu Mei secretly took a few glances at him and estimated that this person was very likely the brother mentioned by Auntie Er last time who wanted to partner with them to open a restaurant.
Looking at Erniang and others entering the house, Gu Mei thought that Erniang must have come to apologize to Grandfather this time. Of course, it's also certain that she would ask for money again, as this kind of situation had not been uncommon in recent years.
The man was still holding some gift boxes in his hand. Seeing Gu Mian observing him, he smiled kindly at Gu Mian.
Whatever Gu Meng thought in her heart would be put aside for now. Since the visitor was a guest, as the host, she naturally had to entertain them and hurriedly invited them into the house.
Ji Yun heard that her second uncle and aunt had arrived, and then she heard her second aunt quarreling about wanting a towel. She immediately went into the house to fetch several dry towels and handed them over to her second aunt's family.
This time, Second Aunt was completely different from the last time she came home, after introducing her own brother Peng Jun, she kept apologizing to Grandpa with a honey-like tone, saying that she was possessed by a ghost and hoped that Grandpa and Mom would forgive her.
Second Aunt's brother, Peng Jun, also chimed in from the side, saying that it was because things were too urgent, so his sister would anxiously say those hurtful words. He also said that he had already found a house and wouldn't bother Gu Mei and the like.
Second Uncle was as usual, like a silent gourd, sitting quietly on one side, saying nothing, at most just humming a few times.
Gu Nan was a child, and he wasn't very interested in the things adults were talking about. His mother, Ji Yun, also didn't want the two younger ones to listen in, so she had Gu Bao take Gu Nan to the study room to play on the computer.
In the past, Gu Nan always played in Gu Mei's room, but in recent years, both Gu Mei and Gu Nan have grown up. It's better not to let others casually enter a girl's room. Every time Gu Nan came to play, Gu Mei would take him to the study.
"Mengmeng sister, have you recently fallen in love?" Gu Nan asked while opening the computer and staring at the screen.
"How did you suddenly ask this? When did I ever talk about romance, you just know how to spout nonsense." Gu Mian said irritably as she handed a cup of juice to Gu Nan.
She was also aware of Du Hao's last-minute cancellation of the wedding. At that time, Gu Nan, this little guy, even called to comfort her, saying that she should find a better man than Du Hao in the future, which would make Du Hao angry to death.
Gu Nan sneakily peeked out and said to Gu Ming mysteriously, "I didn't make it up. I heard it from my mom."
"What did Second Aunt say?" asked Gu Mian curiously.
"I've told you, don't go telling others." Gu Nan said in a lowered voice.
"I'm not a gossip. You can say it or not." Gu Mei rubbed Gu Nan's hair.
"My little uncle, you also saw him, he has been living in our house recently, I don't like him at all. The night before last, when I got up to use the bathroom, I heard my mom and little uncle whispering in the living room. My mom said that you must have a new boyfriend and are anxious to get married, otherwise you wouldn't be so stubborn about holding onto the house." Gu Nan curled his lip and continued: "I also think it's unfair for Mom to let our little uncle live in Meimei's new house, as her son I don't approve of it either."
"You don't know? Grandpa and mom jointly bought a house for me, but Auntie Er is not happy about it." Gu Mian asked.
Gu Nan glanced at Gu Mei: "I'm a man, in the future if I want a house won't I be able to earn money and buy one myself? Besides, my mom and I are different. In today's complicated society, sister Mei is a girl. Having a house will make her safer. And that house, Auntie must have invested a lot of money in it. A few days ago Grandpa told me about this matter, saying that in the future he won't mistreat me."
"You're really clever." Gu Ming couldn't help but reach out and pinch Gu Nan's cheek.
When Gu Nian said she didn't mind the house thing, Gu Man really let out a sigh of relief. She was afraid that because of this matter, Gu Nian would have a knot in her heart.
"The girls in our class always talk about this when they have nothing better to do, and I just listen and know what's going on." Gu Nan said with a mature look.
"Little Gu Nan is really a considerate person, you're not wanting a new computer, sister sent a bonus, to celebrate your successful admission to a key high school, how about I buy one for you?" Gu Nan smiled.
"This is what you said!" Gu Nan's eyes lit up immediately.
"You choose yourself, just tell me after you've made up your mind. But let me make one thing clear: once the computer is bought, you can't spend all day thinking about it. When it's time to study, you have to focus on your studies, or else Second Uncle and Second Aunt will blame me."
"Mengmeng sister, don't worry, I know." Gu Nan quickly nodded obediently and stopped playing games, immediately going online to search for various computer brands, afraid that Gu Lian would change her mind and not buy one for him.
Gu Mei looked at Gu Nan playing computer and still had some thoughts about the people in the living room, so she pretended to ask Gu Nan to go outside to get fruit.
"Wow, Mengmeng is really capable! She's only been working for a short time and already received a bonus! Dad, isn't this lighter a gift from Mengmeng? I've been wanting to buy one for Rongrong recently, but unfortunately, I haven't seen any good-looking ones. Mengmeng has great taste, this one is really nice."
She raised her eyes and saw that Second Aunt was holding the pack of cigarettes she had just bought, clicking her tongue in endless praise, with an inexplicable fondness shining in her eyes.
Gu Mei's eyelid twitched and she suddenly regretted not putting away the cigarette box.
Although she wasn't worried that Second Aunt would recognize the cigarette box was inlaid with real gems, she couldn't help but mutter to herself that Second Aunt had always been thick-skinned and it wouldn't be good if she asked for the cigarette box right in front of her.
Gu Mei understood Er Shu's temperament, and as a sister-in-law of over ten years, Ji Yun understood even more. Before Er Shu could finish praising, she skillfully took the cigarette case back and kept saying that Grandfather loved this cigarette case so much that he had already decided to show it off in front of old friends another day.
She also said that if Auntie likes it, let Gu Mian pay more attention to it. If she sees such a beautiful one again in the future, help her buy it back.
Grandpa cooperated this time too, constantly saying he liked the cigarette box and took it from Ji Yun's hand to prevent Er Shu from reaching out again.
Gu Mei saw this situation and couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart.
She finally managed to get back the precious cigarette case with great difficulty, and it can't be taken away by Second Aunt so easily!
Gu Meng looked at her mother and grandfather, who seemed to be getting along fine with Er Shu and Er Shu's wife, so she temporarily put down her worries and took the fruit to the study.
The two aunts actually didn't stay for too long. They left after about an hour or so.
"Mom, what did you just say?" After seeing off Erniang and her family, Gu Mei pulled Ji Yun aside and asked.
Ji Yun glanced at her grandfather who had already returned to his room. She said to Gu Mian: "What else could it be? It's just that matter, your grandfather just gave the money to your second aunt, it seems we can have some peace and quiet for a while now."
"No wonder Aunt Er walked away with a smile. Gu Mei curled her lips and shook Ji Yun's body: 'But my mother is really smart, knowing to take good care of the cigarette box, not giving Aunt Er a chance to ask for it.'"
"I knew you were a smooth talker." Ji Yun pinched Gu Mian's cheek: "I said your aunt would at least take some time before coming over, but I didn't expect her to come so soon. It seems that your aunt's brother is much smarter than your aunt."
"Second Aunt was never a clever person to begin with." Gu Mei knew what her mother meant, and shook her head nonchalantly before continuing, "By the way, you didn't tell me earlier, who called looking for me?"
"The other party didn't say who they were, but judging from the voice, it seemed to be a pretty young girl. After hearing that you're not at home, she hung up the phone." Ji Yun said slowly.
"I've been thinking for a few days, I'd better go to the telecommunications bureau to open the caller ID, so I don't know who's calling." Gu Mian thought about it in circles. She still couldn't think of who would call her.
"If you can't think of anything, then it's fine. If something really comes up, I'll call you again. You have work tomorrow, don't you? Hurry up and take a bath, get some rest early, today has been tiring too." Ji Yun said softly.
"Got it." Gu Mian nodded and temporarily put aside the doubts in her mind.
The next few days passed relatively calmly for Gu Mei, and nothing out of the ordinary happened at the Jibao Mountain House. The only thing worth mentioning was that her phone seemed to have been damaged at Old Man Huang's house, so Robert had someone buy a new one that was exactly the same and returned it to her.
Facing this brand new phone, Gu Mian readily accepted it. She hadn't spent much time with Robert, but she could sense that he was a bit domineering. If she didn't accept the phone, who knows what he would think of her, maybe that she was being deliberately difficult.
Anyway, her phone is broken, and Robert's factor has more or less something to do with it. It's not inappropriate to accept this new phone.
"Little Guo, someone is looking for you outside!" Jin Ge said with a wink as he walked into the store towards Gu Bao.
Gu Mian responded with a sound indicating that she knew, then put down the rag she was using to wipe the table, washed her hands and went outside.
She had just walked out of the store, and hadn't even seen who was looking for her, when someone suddenly rushed over to her, hugged her tightly and said: "Darling, do you miss me?"
