Finally found the feeling of being in love after getting married 021
Tonight, the Gu's house is exceptionally lively. Since both their son and daughter are leaving tomorrow, Mr. Gu has specially invited his third brother's family, who also lives in G City, to come over for a gathering. At the same time, he will introduce Shan Shan to them.
Gu San Shu was also a veteran of many years, with a straightforward personality and not so calculating. He liked Su Su's clever character very much. However, Gu San Shu's wife was a person who liked to compare herself to others and hold grudges. In the past, her son Gu Jun Zhe and Gu Bei Chen took part in the promotion assessment together, but in the end, Gu Bei Chen was promoted to Colonel, while Gu Jun Zhe still wore two stripes and two stars until now. She had been holding onto this for a long time. Now that she finally had an opportunity to humiliate Colonel Gu's face, she wouldn't let it go. "I say, sister-in-law, your family chose so carefully, how did you end up choosing such a daughter-in-law for Bei Chen?" She was still young and just an orphan with no background.
This remark sounded like it was directed at Old Lady Gu, but Shanshan was cutting fruit not far away, and her voice was loud enough for Shanshan to hear.
Don't look at Gu Lao Tai, who is dissatisfied with Shanshan in front of her husband and son, but if an outsider criticizes Shanshan, she won't stand for it. "What's wrong with our daughter-in-law? She's young and beautiful, can go to the hall and enter the kitchen, is filial to her elders and takes care of the children without complaint. I think she's better than your family's daughter-in-law who puts on so much makeup that she looks like a monkey's butt."
Actually, Ye Shanshan didn't care at all about what San Auntie said to her. She usually just listened and then forgot about it. However, she hadn't expected her mother-in-law to so righteously help her out, with such sharp words that left San Auntie speechless.
No wonder Gu Bei Chen always says that his mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Today, Ye Shanshan finally understood what he meant. In order not to disappoint her mother-in-law's kind words, Ye Shanshan specially brewed a pot of flower tea and sent it over to the two elders, "Mom, Third Aunt, this is freshly brewed hot tea, drink while chatting."
"What kind of tea is this?"
"This is a calming floral tea that helps with sleep. I just heard you say you've been sleeping poorly lately, so this tea is perfect for you." Grandfather used to love drinking tea and Ye Shanshan also learned a lot from him, which really came in handy at critical moments.
"After a busy morning, you must be tired. Sit down and take a rest." Old Lady Gu invited her daughter-in-law to sit beside her, holding her hand affectionately as they chatted. "How's it going? You've moved to a new place, are you getting used to it?"
"It's pretty good, and it's very convenient for me and Xiaoxiao to go to school." Suddenly, her mother-in-law was so concerned about herself that Ye Shanshan really felt a little honored.
"It's not good for two people to cook, you're also tired from class yesterday, so just bring Xiaoxiao back home to have dinner, think about what you want to eat and tell me. After seeing the heavily made-up daughter-in-law of Old Third, Mrs. Gu now thinks that Shanshan is more and more pleasing to the eye. What's the use of being older or having a good background? When marrying a daughter-in-law, one should still marry an obedient, virtuous and gentle one."
"This semester's courses are not very tight, and I don't feel too tired. I want to try taking care of Xiao Xiao by myself first. But don't worry, I will often bring her back to accompany you and dad." Although the mother-in-law was kind-hearted, Ye Shanshan also had her own ideas. Moreover, she didn't want to disappoint Gu Beichen's thoughtful consideration for her.
"Alright, you and Xiao Xiao haven't spent much time together, it's good to cultivate some feelings." Gu Lao Tai was unusually pleasant. She thought that she and her husband were getting old, and later Xiao Xiao would still have to rely on Shan Shan to take care of her, so it wouldn't hurt for the two girls to spend more time together.
The two women chatted like this, completely ignoring Gu San's aunt. She also wanted to call her own daughter-in-law over to make up the numbers, but unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law was too engrossed in a new mobile game and didn't respond even after being called three times.
"Auntie San, your tea has gone cold. Let me get you a fresh cup." It wasn't until Ye Shanshan took the initiative to strike up a conversation that she was able to break out of her awkwardness.
Gu San Aunt nodded slightly, her face had already lost the arrogance and disdain of just now, replaced by seven parts embarrassment and three parts melancholy.
After finishing a pot of flower tea, several leaders also finished discussing the topic of men and went downstairs. Ye Shanshan was busy brewing tea for them again.
The smallest of the three, Gu Zhuang, appeared quietly behind her just as she was pouring the first cup of tea. "Third Aunt's words are always sharp and bitter, don't take them to heart."
"You're overthinking it, with mom around, no one can bully me." Ye Shanshan didn't turn around, but judging from her voice, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"I told you, Mom will definitely like you." Gu Bei Chen's tone was quite self-satisfied, with a thick smile spreading from the corner of his mouth to the corners of his eyes. Heh, the woman he fancied, naturally, would be loved by all who saw her.
Originally, Ye Shanshan still had doubts about this, but now she couldn't help but believe it. "Dad and mom are good people, I feel very lucky to be their daughter-in-law."
"What about me?" Gu Bei Chen involuntarily leaned in closer, almost whispering in her ear.
He suddenly got so close, his hot breath sprayed directly on her ear, Ye Shanshan was a little flustered for a moment, instinctively took two steps forward, and stuttered in response: "You... you're also very good."
Alas, she's indeed a simple-minded child. This level of intimacy has scared her so much, I really don't know how she managed to hold him and sleep that night.
"If it weren't for me, you could have had someone better." Gu Bei Chen suddenly felt a pang of emotion, thinking of that wealthy and handsome young master from the Ning family. He was so young, with a heart full of sincerity towards her, able to accompany her at all times. If he were by Song Song's side, would she be happier than she is now?
Ye Shanshan suddenly turned around and seriously scolded: "How can you think that? Do I look like the kind of girl who is never satisfied?"
"Of course you're not! I just... " The four words 'afraid you'll regret' were something Gu Bei Chen didn't dare to say out loud, so in the end he chose a more euphemistic phrase: "Afraid you'll be wronged."
"Not at all, I'm glad to be able to marry you... happily." Yeshan originally wanted to say "lucky", but in the end, she suddenly changed her mind and replaced it with "happy".
Although she has not yet developed romantic feelings for him, he is currently the person closest to her, and in the days to come, she will learn to make him the one she loves most.
That is true happiness.
Her voice was soft and delicate, but Gu Bei Chen believed that she spoke from the heart. However, he, being 'petty', wasn't quite satisfied with her reaction earlier, "If you really feel happy, then in the future when I approach you, you're not allowed to hide again."
Ye Shanshan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she stuttered incoherently in rebuttal, "I... you... who told you to appear suddenly."
"Alright, it was my fault, I won't make the same mistake again next time."
"You... go out first, don't disturb me while I'm brewing tea."
"Yes ma'am, Commander's wife!" Someone even gave a military salute.
It seems like I'm finally getting some romantic feelings now.
Digression
Finally got it down, grandma!
