1931 Chapter 1931-rest assured
She had known Madam Xue and Duke Cheng ‘en for a long time. When she was in kun city, the couple often came to the Gu family to freeload food, so the Gu family knew them well.
However, after hearing about what had happened in the past two days, grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian were even more relieved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe couple had really handed everything to the young couple.
If it were other families, they might think that it was irresponsible of them to ignore the two of them after they married into the Gu family. However, this was not the case with the Gu family.
Grandma Gu had three daughter-in-law. When Zhang Shi first married into the family, she wanted to separate the family. She had raised them one by one and gave them away. It was Grandpa Gu who stopped her. Grandpa Gu could not bear to see the children suffer and liked to have a lively family.
As for grandma Gu, after they got married, they, as in-laws, had to keep a distance from their son and daughter-in-law. She had always done this.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian, on the other hand, came from the modern era. They didn’t have the mindset that their in-laws had to work like cows and horses for them after marriage. For example, when Lord Cheng ‘en and Madam Xue went to the West, Cai Xiaolian was more envious.
She also hoped that after her three sons got married, she could still go out and play with Gu shouxin. However, that was a matter for more than ten years later. If all her sons were of age before they considered marriage, she would have to wait until she was in her fifties. With the living conditions in ancient times, even if she was in good health, she probably did not want to go out and play.
She was still very envious of Madam Xue, who was able to put down the burden of her family at the age of forty.
Gu Nian was even more able to accept it than Cai Xiaolian.
Although she had been studying for so many years and could be considered a top student, she was not the kind of person who would only study. She more or less had a few friends.
She had heard about her friend’s fate in her in-laws ‘house after she got married and had children.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered that she had a primary school classmate. When she was in primary school, her brother was just a civil servant in the county. That primary school classmate only studied until high school. After graduation, her family gave her money to open a small clothing store in the county and she got married at the age of 20.
When Lin Yiqian got married, Gu Nian even went back to the county city to be a bridesmaid. After that, she got pregnant and had a child.
Her classmate’s husband’s family favored boys over girls. When she was pregnant, her mother-in-law thought that it must be a grandson, so she closed the clothing store and focused on the pregnancy at home.
Her mother had been taking care of her during her confinement.
After giving birth to her first daughter, she was pregnant with her second daughter in less than half a year. In the end, her mother-in-law used her connections to get a test done. It was another daughter, so she forced her to abort the child. Noᴠelꜰire
Originally, her family was considered to be quite well-off. However, her parents had committed a crime and were arrested. All the property in the family had been frozen, and her relatives had stopped contacting her.
She was like an outsider in her in-laws ‘family, isolated and helpless. She could only hug her daughter and cry.
When she was pregnant with her third child, she gained 50 pounds. Her husband began to dislike her. Because the first two children were daughters, her mother-in-law was cold to her this time. After the examination showed that it was a son, her mother-in-law treated her well.
However, when the child was six months old, she found out that her husband had an affair. At that time, she broke down. She held the child and held the vegetable knife, wanting to fight her husband.
