Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Are You Going to Laugh Your Teeth Off?_1

After leaving her father’s home, Gu Xin finally pondered carefully, realizing that with the eldest brother not at home and the sister-in-law being a talented lady, smart, gentle by nature, and most importantly, good at putting on a facade, she could curse you out a thousand times in her heart but still wear a smile on her face.

Given her personality, even if she knew that Song Yunuan was an unsophisticated rural girl, she would probably sincerely say, "Rural girls are great, plain and simple, and as long as they work hard, even a golden phoenix can fly out of the ravines."

She would also say things like there are only teachers who can’t teach, and no students who can’t learn.

That statement, though, she would only make at home.

As for her fool of a son, even if a deity came down to teach him, he wouldn’t be able to understand.

It’s just a pity the sister-in-law is too busy.

Otherwise, she’d really like to bring Xiao Bei over to have her open his mind.

That big nitwit is really embarrassing.

And Qian Xiaoling from the Qian family has always been at odds with her; now that her husband is also planning to start a company in Nan City, she’ll be showing off again.

Plus, she’s so arrogant and vicious-mouthed.

If she knew that her nephew liked a rural girl, wouldn’t she laugh her teeth off?

Gu Xin felt it was time to talk to her sister-in-law.

At the entrance of the workplace, she happened to see Qin Suyun, who had stepped out for a task.

Qin Suyun smiled gently when she saw Gu Xin and asked, "Did you come to my workplace just to see me? Is there something you need?"

Gu Xin pulled her aside and whispered, "Huai’an has found a girl he fancies, how are you planning to handle it?"

Qin Suyun was taken aback, then she said, "If they like each other, I’m ready to welcome a daughter-in-law."

Gu Xin: ...

Internally she clicked her tongue, unable to stomach the hypocrisy she saw.

She needed to go home and scold her son; she didn’t have so much time to beat around the bush with her sister-in-law.

Gu Xin warned, "Don’t blame me for not reminding you—when the time comes and Huai’an really brings home a rural woman, don’t become the laughingstock of the compound. And don’t spout such hypocritical talk about everyone being equal. Equality can never be achieved. If you had to swap your profession and life with that of a farmer right now, do you think you could still talk that way? There are people in the Qian family who have always looked down on you. You’ve had your fair share of setbacks without realizing I know about them; if this gets out, it could turn into everyone’s joke."

Qin Suyun’s face immediately darkened, and her voice became stern, "Firstly, Huai’an hasn’t said he has a girl in mind, and secondly, the other party is still studying and is also young. Please watch your words. Lastly, whoever dares to meddle, when the time comes for Huai’an to handle it, don’t come to me looking for mercy!"

Afterward, Qin Suyun adjusted her emotions and inwardly blamed Old Mr. Hu, who treated Huai’an like the apple of his eye.

Blind dating to find a match was also normal, but he even made a list.

If this got out, what would people think?

Then, he had to blab to Gu Xin, clearly sending her to test her stance.

She wasn’t worried about Gu Xin spreading rumors; after all, that woman knew when to speak and when to keep silent. But it was still a nuisance.

Even more bothersome was the real relationship between Song Yunuan and her son and what step they had reached.

That wasn’t quite appropriate either.

Even if she wasn’t picky, the future bride marrying into the family would be worn down by the distance others kept from her.

Some troubles are best avoided when possible.

Of course, if her son really made up his mind, that would be for a lifetime.

If it really reached that point, all she needed to do was nod and say it was okay.

Qin Suyun sighed in her heart, then warned Gu Xin again before quickly leaving.

Gu Xin was so angry she stamped her foot.

After going in circles, she hadn’t gained anything.

What was she even trying to achieve?

Never mind, if it does happen, it won’t be she who’s embarrassed by a daughter-in-law who can’t hold her own in society.

Meanwhile, Song Yunuan was naturally unaware that the Gu family already knew her name.

Of course, even if Song Yunuan knew that the Gu family knew about her, she wouldn’t care.

At this moment, she felt somewhat worried about Old Mr. Hu’s family.

But having rethought the situation on the road just now, she realized that while it was not entirely foolproof, there were not many problems either.

Song Yunuan had just seen that the people sitting inside the driving cabin of the truck were likely the police.

That person could be one of Old Mr. Hu’s students.

So, even if Uncle Hu and his family encountered people from Pagoda Tree Village, the other party definitely wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

They dared to stop Uncle Hu’s car precisely because Uncle Hu looked like a white-faced scholar with glasses, Aunt Hu was a woman, and they had two children with them, plus a young driver who was only nineteen.

Although she couldn’t speak openly about it now, she had made arrangements in advance to intercept them halfway.

Plus, she had reminded Old Mr. Hu that Pagoda Tree Village used to be a den of bandits, so they should be on their guard.

If it was beyond her reach, Song Yunuan was never one to torment herself over things that were temporarily out of her control.

She quickly stopped thinking about it.

Instead, she started teaching her brother to recite poems.

The siblings happily returned to the guest house.

Upon arriving at the guest house, Li Chunwei called out to Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, Little Nuan, come here quickly."

Song Yunuan led her brother quickly over.

Li Chunwei’s eyes sparkled as she said, "I actually received an international call, oh my, I really didn’t expect it, he said his name was Gu Huai’an."

Little Asheng immediately shouted, "It’s Big Brother."

He really wanted to say that when his sister bought a newspaper, Big Brother was printed on it.

But the clever little guy wouldn’t say such a thing.

Li Chunwei went on to say, "He called twice already, said he would call again at one thirty, and if he couldn’t get through, then never mind, he will return soon." She then lowered her voice to emphasize, "He was very polite, and his voice was nice, really, Little Nuan, it’s my first time hearing a male comrade with such a pleasant voice."

Song Yunuan laughed and tapped her lightly, then checked the time; there were still fifteen minutes left, so they might as well wait.

Song Yunuan didn’t give Li Chunwei a chance to bombard her with questions and took out the almond crisps Third Grandma had fried, which were genuinely delicious.

Once Li Chunwei found out who made them, she also didn’t expect that Principal Hu’s wife was such a good cook.

Of course, she thought even more that this Song Yunuan was not simple.

As they chatted and laughed, the time came.

The telephone rang right on schedule.

Little Asheng had no self-awareness because he especially liked answering the phone.

In a few strides, he dashed in, climbed onto a chair, and picked up the receiver: "Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"

Song Yunuan and Li Chunwei just laughed.

On the other end, Gu Huai’an was not surprised; these siblings were almost always together wherever they went.

He spoke softly with Little Asheng for a few sentences and said he had bought him a gift.

Little Asheng excitedly thanked him, reluctantly bid farewell to Gu Huai’an, and then let his sister take the phone.

Although he was a bit oblivious, it didn’t mean he didn’t understand that Big Brother was primarily looking for his sister.

Song Yunuan took the phone, and she didn’t engage in excessive pleasantries with Gu Huai’an.

The two of them were not on their first phone call.

Gu Huai’an asked, "Did you see the newspaper?"

Song Yunuan, with a smile in her voice, "What newspaper, from which day, which one?"

With that, Gu Huai’an instead knew that Song Yunuan had seen it.

He said, "I’m planning to approach the issue you gave me in this way."

Song Yunuan fell silent for a moment, then honestly replied, "Actually, I was just speaking offhand..."
