BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210 - 210: Selfish
Gu Zi’s face was gentle, her eyes wide and clear, giving off the impression that she genuinely didn’t know the actual situation.
She secretly acknowledged that Lin Miao’s pretentious tactics could be quite handy when necessary.
Some people in the vicinity couldn’t stand by any longer. How could they push Gu Zi like this? Was it that the more sensible you were, the less care you received?
Someone spoke up to Lin Laoyao’s wife, “You are an elder after all, but your lack of understanding is worse than a younger one. You’re always creating trouble. You should stop.”
“That’s right! If your son is getting married, then he should earn a vanity table through his own means. How can you come to Lin Lao’er’s family to snatch things by force?”
“Moreover, you’re Gu Zi’s Little Aunt. Today’s a happy occasion for your niece, but instead of bringing a gift during your first meeting, you’re trying to take advantage. It’s embarrassing to say the least!”
Lin Laoyao felt that if this continued, the villagers’ collective spit could drown him and his wife.
He forcefully pulled his wife, saying, “Let’s go back. Look at yourself. I’ve told you countless times not to behave like this!”
Seeing the situation, Gu Zi continued in a gentle tone, “Little Uncle, why rush off? Stay back and have lunch with Little Aunt. I may not be a great cook, but I can still prepare something edible. Besides, we’re all family. Whether you bring gifts or not is not that important.”
Papa Lin, Mother Lin, and Lin Cheng finally figured it out. Gu Zi had intentionally spoken like that. This girl was indeed clever!
Li Hua also chimed in graciously, saying, “Actually, Little Aunt’s words earlier weren’t wrong. I indeed haven’t had a child yet. It was a good reminder from Little Aunt. Please don’t be upset. It’s our fault, Lin Cheng and I were thoughtless. Please stay and have lunch.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zi continued her confusion, “Hm, what is this about having a child?”
Gu Zi continued her inquiries, trying to find out their true reason for coming.
That wav, whether she needed to get anzrv or ask them to leave, she would have a valid reason, and onlookers wouldn’t find fault with her actions.
Seeing this, Lin Laoyao quickly interjected, pulling his wife and saying,
“There’s nothing wrong; you’ve been thoughtful. We just came to see you. There’s still a lot of work to do in the fields, so we won’t stay for lunch. We wish you a happy wedding!”
Lin Laoyao finished speaking and hurriedly dragged his wife away. No matter how much the woman shouted or struggled, he didn’t stop in his tracks.
In reality, a man’s strength is indeed greater than a woman’s. In a direct confrontation, the his wife wouldn’t be able to overpower him.
Gu Zi thought to herself, people in the village said that her Little Uncle had been ruined by this dominant and fierce woman, but in truth, this kind of man was the most selfish.
The most honest thought in his heart was that he hoped that his fierce wife could snatch more things through shameless means, but his upbringing taught him to maintain his dignity.
In actuality, he was the most shameless and greedy. His actions toward his wife were never out of helplessness but rather silent approval.
Today, by firmly taking his wife away, it was just that he guessed continuing would not achieve his goals. It was better to safeguard his reputation first. If it was Little Aunt who had the upper hand today, Little Uncle would still be the cowardly and henpecked uncle.
Gu Zi had always believed in one saying: “Two people sleeping in the same bed won’t have very different attitudes.”
Mother Lin only smiled when she saw that the troublemakers had gone far away. She had suffered a lot from that troublemaking couple over the years.
On the surface, Lin Laoyao always appeared quite helpless, but whenever his wife tried to take advantage, he would secretly instigate his mother to make things difficult for her. That’s why she always gave in.
Now she was no longer afraid. With a good daughter and son-in-law, continuing to endure their mistreatment would only bring disgrace to her daughter and son-in-law.
“Little Zi, why are you here alone? Where’s Lele?” Mother Lin asked.
Gu Zi replied, “Su Shen came today for the engagement, so we asked the neighboring auntie to look after Lele”
Suddenly, everyone noticed a festive procession approaching from behind, adorned in vibrant red attire. The Lin family members turned their attention in that direction.
Dressed in red engagement attire, some carried boxes, others held their chests up, forming a long line.
Su Shen, tall and striding confidently, led the group in a sleek black suit and black leather shoes. His hair was impeccably styled, likely by the hands of a skilled woman, and he wore an expensive wristwatch that caught everyone’s eyes.
The onlookers were stunned.
So, the furniture was just the warm-up act! This was the official start of flaunting their wealth!
Had they known Su Shen would be so rich, they wouldn’t have even considered his condition of not having children when he was looking for a wife back then!
