Capítulo 460: Chapter 460: Attract Peach Blossom
Beihuai saw urgency in Third Grandpa’s eyes, and without a moment to spare, instinctively took Qin Zhan’s hand and bade farewell to Second Grandma.
When they left the courtyard, Third Grandpa whispered a warning, “Shut up, and leave!”
Beihuai knew something must have gone wrong; otherwise, Third Grandpa wouldn’t have reacted like that, so he obediently followed him away.
Once they had left the village and were outside, Third Grandpa cursed, “Do you two want to die?”
Both Beihuai and Qin Zhan looked innocently perplexed.
How did he conclude they wanted to die?
They had merely visited Second Grandma; could a common village elderly woman pose any problem?
Pointing at Beihuai, Third Grandpa finally said, “I wouldn’t dare mess with that woman. If she found fault with you, you wouldn’t be leaving the village today!”
Beihuai was a bit dumbfounded, while Qin Zhan asked, “Does that old lady have something formidable about her?”
Third Grandpa snorted, “Of course!”
That was his sister-in-law.
Driven by curiosity, Qin Zhan pressed, “How formidable, exactly?”
Giving Beihuai a glance, Third Grandpa said, “More formidable than the both of you combined, especially her scolding skills. She could go on non-stop for three days and three nights without repeating a single word!”
Beihuai: …
Qin Zhan: …
The two exchanged glances and after a while managed to ask, “Is that it?”
Third Grandpa scoffed, “Isn’t that enough? I tell you, my sister-in-law’s ability to curse is simply unmatched!”
Both Beihuai and Qin Zhan let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their backs, somewhat speechless and wanted to punch someone.
They really hadn’t expected this kind of conclusion.
It was downright hilarious.
Beihuai had thought Second Grandma was some remarkable character, a superhuman like Third Grandpa. But who would have thought it was all because she was formidable at scolding that she was feared by Third Grandpa.
Seeing Beihuai and Qin Zhan walking away, Third Grandpa grumbled discontentedly, “Are you two punks secretly cursing me?”
Beihuai and Qin Zhan waved their hands hurriedly, “Third Grandpa, we have other things to deal with, we’re leaving now!”
With that, they drove away.
They stayed just long enough to avoid bursting out laughing.
They never expected the imposing Third Grandpa to also have someone he feared.
On the road, Beihuai still marveled to Qin Zhan, “I really thought Second Grandma was some kind of bug master, seriously considering whether or not to strip down and see if we’d been hexed!”
Qin Zhan nodded, “I thought the same!”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so frightened.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. They had overthought it.
Back in the city, Beihuai and Qin Zhan parted ways. Each went to their own home.
Tang Chuxia wasn’t at home when Beihuai arrived, and after searching the house, he asked, “Zhizhi, where’s your elder sister-in-law?”
Gu Nanzhi was eating and upon hearing Beihuai’s inquiry, she simply responded, “How should I know? I just got back!”
Having spent the day on a date with Zheng Duoqing, Gu Nanzhi had just been dropped off when her elder brother caught her to quiz her.
“Be more careful in the future, don’t give Zheng Duoqing too many sweets. Men are ungrateful; if you give them too much, they won’t cherish it,” Beihuai warned, displeased by the flush on his sister’s face, clearly love-struck.
Gu Nanzhi gave Beihuai a disdainful look.
She always felt that there was an inexplicable discord between her and her brother, finding it hard to agree on any matter.
At this moment, hearing her own brother belittle her, Gu Nanzhi retorted, “Big brother, you know when men act cheap they’re worthless, right? So why do you still act cheap? Is it because elder sister-in-law has been ignoring you lately?”
Beihuai: …
Was this the beginning of mutual hurting?
As Beihuai prepared a verbal response, Mrs. Gu interrupted, “How old are you two? Can’t you stop being so childish, always arguing when you meet? Why can’t you be more like Xiaxia and her brothers?”
Gu Nanzhi said, “Mom, it’s obvious we’re not the same. Xiaxia’s brothers treat her like a treasure, but look at my brother. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t hit me for a day. Would he ever spoil me?”
Mrs. Gu had a headache.
Others have children to bring them joy, hers seem to be here to collect debts.
On this, Mrs. Gu had never had any doubts.
Since they couldn’t get along, they shouldn’t stick together, but they just wouldn’t stay apart.
They had to stay together and argue every time they met, driving their mother insane.
“Enough, both of you shut up. Those who are eating, eat; those who need to find someone, go find them. Don’t stick together!” Mrs. Gu commanded, forcing Beihuai and Nanzhi to cease fire.
Beihuai wanted to ask about Tang Chuxia’s whereabouts, to which Mrs. Gu said, “Xiaxia went to the community office, said there was something. She’ll be back soon!”
Right after Mrs. Gu finished speaking, Beihuai ran off.
Gu Nanzhi chuckled, “Mom, see? This is a classic case of a son forgetting his mother for his wife. Brother is totally going to be under Xiaxia’s thumb!”
Mrs. Gu scolded irritably, “You little adversary, you talk as if you could control your own partner in the future!”
Gu Nanzhi sighed, “It’s tough, my partner’s face is too eye-catching. I’m afraid he goes out and swindles other girls every day!”
Mrs. Gu held her forehead.
She had given birth to an adversary.
How could there be such a flippant young lady?
She always worried about her son being lured away. He’s a grown man, what’s there to fear?
But thinking of Zheng Duoqing’s face, Mrs. Gu somewhat agreed. With that kind of face, unless something drastic happened, he would easily attract peach blossom.
It’s all karma!
Mrs. Gu couldn’t be bothered anymore and felt helpless.
“Just eat your meal properly, finish early, and go rest. Don’t be an eyesore here!”
Mrs. Gu dropped those words and went back to her room.
Gu Nanzhi pursed her lips; she was used to Mrs. Gu’s approach and wasn’t upset. As long as she was happy, that was what mattered.
As for Tang Chuxia, she was indeed at the community office, but not busy with any work, rather she was chatting with a group of women. Their most discussed topic was about a new bar that had recently opened nearby.
Originally, Tang Chuxia didn’t participate much, but since she was there, she was dragged into the conversation, “What do you think the widow is thinking? Being surrounded by men all day, isn’t she embarrassed?”
A gossiping aunt sneered, and Tang Chuxia retorted, “Auntie, did uncle go to the bar to drink again?”
This made the aunt even more agitated, “Exactly, he says he’s going to drink, but he’s actually going to ogle the widow. Shameless!”
Tang Chuxia nodded, “Indeed shameless. Otherwise, why would he ignore a beautiful lady like you to look at a widow?”
The flattered aunt blushed and laughed exaggeratedly, “What beautiful lady? I’m old already!”
Tang Chuxia waved her hand, “How is that possible? Auntie, with your curvy figure, you are the ideal daughter-in-law in many mothers’ eyes!”
The aunt spat and said Tang Chuxia was shameless.
