Chapter 233: Retreat as Advance

Gu Yunji did what he said, and before dawn the next day, he wore only a single coat and knelt outside the courtyard of Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang to receive the punishment.

Gu Kaizhen handed over all the affairs of the family to Mrs. Wang to take care of, and almost never asked about the back house, and he didn't know what happened last night. Early in the morning, he saw his son kneeling outside the door, his lips blue from the cold, and he was immediately startled.

After asking, Gu Kaizhen learned that Mrs. Wang actually punished her daughter-in-law, who was pregnant with Liujia, for standing for more than half an hour for the sake of two intercourse, and almost used family law against her, and even forced Gu Yunji to come to ask for her guilt.

Gu Kaizhen didn't understand the twists and turns in the back house, and he didn't understand the majesty of his mother-in-law disciplining his daughter-in-law, he only knew that his third daughter-in-law, Xu Shuhua, was from a noble background and needed extra care and care.

From the family level, the Gu family and the Xu family are on par, but on a personal level, his Gu Kaizhen's status is far worse than Xu Chengyu's, if he makes her mother's family unhappy because of his harsh criticism of Xu Shuhua, he can't afford the anger of the Xu family.

Not to mention that Gu Yunji is his proudest son, the young man has unlimited scenery, and he has earned him so much face and fame, he can't love it, how can he be willing to punish him.

After asking what happened, Gu Kaizhen was furious and reprimanded his wife, whom he had respected for many years, in front of the people in the courtyard. scolded her for being a mother and harshly scolding her daughter-in-law, so long that she took care of her son's affairs, and even ignored the heirs of the Gu family for a little thing, and actually punished Xu Shuhua for standing for so long.

"The young couple are living well, you have to block them through the house, why don't you see the child's good mother and mother-in-law so much? If you are really idle and panicked, go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to farm! Save you from having the energy to manage whether Ji'er lacks a room, it's really a problem! ”

This is Gu Kaizhen's original words, and it spread throughout the entire Gu family in less than an hour, and it is said that Mrs. Wang's face was ugly at that time, and she didn't eat a bite of breakfast, and she was full of anger.

But the whole Gu family knew that she punished Xu Shuhua for inviting Lang Zhong in the middle of the night, and after she was angry, she had to talk soft to Xu Shuhua with her face, asking her not to take it to heart, and sent a lot of nutritional supplements to their yard, for fear of losing the reputation of a bad mother-in-law.

"Brother, this trick is really powerful!"

In the courtyard, Gu Yunqiao listened to Xu Shuhua's eyes widen in surprise after listening to what happened, and said with a smile: "He knows that his mother is in charge of the backyard, if he rashly stands up for his sister-in-law, he may not know how to torture you in the future." I simply begged my father directly, and I came to this trick to retreat as advance, and my mother was reprimanded by my father, and I will definitely not interfere in the internal affairs of you and my brother in the future. ”

In this era, a filial piety word is bigger than the sky, and there is a contradiction between the children and the elders, and the mistake is also wrong, and the good is also wrong, anyway, it can't be said that the elders are not.

Gu Yunji handled this matter just right, and Xu Shuhua disobeyed his mother-in-law's order, which was indeed a loss. So he did not deny this, but took the fault on himself, and transferred the two sides of the conflict from mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to mother and son, and the relationship changed from sparse to close, from far to close, and Mrs. Wang would not be able to punish him.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang's fault as a son can't be said, so Gu Kaizhen will talk about it. Gu Kaizhen is Mrs. Wang's husband, and he is the real speaker of the family, and he said that Mrs. Wang is wrong, that is, Mrs. Wang is wrong.

At the same time, Gu Yunji also deliberately spread the news of inviting Lang Zhong for Xu Shuhua in the middle of the night, which magnified Mrs. Wang's mistakes and forced her to treat Xu Shuhua with a smile.

The key to this is that Mrs. Wang is his mother-in-law, and the relationship is not very close, and she is not afraid of affecting the relationship between mother and son. In the future, most of the family's property will not fall on Gu Yunji, and the housekeeping power will not fall on Xu Shuhua, plus Gu Yunji himself has a future, and he does not need to rely on Mrs. Wang to live, so he has no fear.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua sighed: "Your brother is a man, I really don't know how he figured out these things in the back house, neither using brute force nor blindly cowardice, but advancing and retreating, I may not be able to do him so properly." ”

Gu Yunqiao said with a smile: "What about the man, the hearts of the people in the back house are twisted and turned, and the Communist Party is just such a thing, it will not be more difficult than my brother to explore flowers in the imperial examination, right?" My brother is a man in the front yard, he has an official position, and his behavior is much more convenient than you and me, as long as he wants to protect his sister-in-law, there will be nothing he can't do. ”

"Everyone in the world says that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult, but I think the key point is not the mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, but the husband and son in the middle of the two. If a son of man blindly follows his mother and wrongs his wife, it is foolishness; If a husband disobeys his mother in order to make his wife happy, it will separate the mother and the child, and it will not be conducive to the relationship between the husband and wife in the long run. ”

"My brother can defend his sister-in-law so firmly because he has the same heart as your husband and wife, what you think is what he thinks, and what he wants is what you want, so he doesn't care if it will damage the mother-son relationship. Unfortunately, there are few men in the world who can do this, and they often vacillate between their wives and mothers, and in the end they make both sides sad. ”

Xu Shuhua saw that she was right, and finally came to a shocking conclusion, she was amused for a while, and reached out and nodded her forehead: "How old are you, and you have started thinking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so early?" The tirade was more thorough than I thought. ”

Gu Yunqiao pouted dissatisfiedly: "It's not small, it's going to be over next year, and it's about to be the age when you can talk about marriage, and if you don't think about it, it's too late." ”

"It doesn't matter if my sister-in-law wants to be thorough or not, because there is still a brother to help you carry it. I don't know what kind of Lang Jun I will marry in the future, what if it is not a top priority? Won't I have to figure it out for myself? ”

It is said that the girl is pregnant with spring, and the girls of other people's families are full of beautiful fantasies about their future husbands at this age, but Gu Yunqiao sighed all day long, thinking about all kinds of bad possibilities, as if she was not going to get married, but to jump into the fire pit.

Xu Shuhua understood that she was worried in her heart, and she also knew that this matter was inevitable, so she had to be relieved: "Qiaoqiao don't be afraid, although Qiaoqiao is a big deal, although the marriage is a big event, the parents are the matchmaker, but you still have your brother after all." Anyway, he has an official body now, and he has a little right to speak in front of his parents-in-law, and he won't watch you jump into the fire pit. ”

These words have very well reduced the sorrow in Gu Yunqiao's heart: Gu Yunji loves her and respects her ideas, if she is not satisfied with the choice of her future husband, Gu Yunji will definitely stand on her side.

Thinking like this, Gu Yunqiao unconsciously raised her eyebrows, and her mood relaxed again.

As he was talking, someone from the kitchen asked Xu Shuhua for instructions: "May I ask the third young lady, how do the eldest young master, the third young master, and Cheng Gongzi arrange their meals today?" ”
