Chapter 144(1/2)
The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (31)
Why does Gu Qingcheng put double quotation marks around nouns such as grandmother and granddaughter?
Because his eyes were as sharp as Gu Qingcheng's, he had already seen that the grandparents and grandsons on the west side were not really related to each other.
My grandmother called herself Zhou. She looked clean and behaved well and thoughtfully. She did not look like an ordinary old lady from a small family.
Mrs. Zhou loved Han Jiaojiao very much and took almost every possible care of her.
However, Gu Qingcheng could clearly see that Zhou's love for Han Jiaojiao also contained a little pity and respect.
That’s right, that’s respect!
It's a kind of respect that a servant has for her little master.
It may not be obvious, but as a superior, Gu Qingcheng is very familiar with this complex emotion.
A grandmother will pity her motherless granddaughter, but will not respect her.
As for Han Jiaojiao, although she relies on and trusts Zhou, she is still slightly afraid.
Auntie is not being deceived, but just wants to do good deeds?
"..."
I couldn't help complaining in my heart: Yes! Auntie is not stupid, she is just too soft-hearted! Her ears are even softer!
Just like myself——
On the contrary, he was very proud.
But her awe was not for a serious elder, but more like an unfamiliar outsider.
Auntie was asking questions about her father's disapproval.
"Just like some beggars on the street, some of them are indeed cheating, but most of them are still poor people. We can't stop doing good deeds just because of a few liars."
Aunt Zhou said that her family had run out of money and had to do some embroidery work to make money.
Only then did she realize that she had inadvertently spoken what was in her heart.
Although my mother didn't say anything, her eyes always looked at me gloomily.
Seeing Han Jiaojiao's eyes widened and her mouth open, Gu Qingcheng muttered childishly: "You can't go to heaven! Oh, that's it, you still think you're excellent and powerful?"
Because Gu Qingcheng discovered that in Grandma Zhou's house, the water tank was always full, and the firewood was chopped and arranged neatly.
Perhaps their "temperaments" are similar, they are both sickly and timid people, and Han Jiaojiao instinctively likes to be close to Gu Qingcheng.
Grandma Zhou is not a stingy person, and she is willing to reciprocate.
Han Jiaojiao raised her head, her two little fingers tangled together.
"You also said, those are bad people! They do evil because they are bad people, not because I am a good person."
"Of course! Reincarnation is a technical job!"
Those who are more powerful than him are not as young as him.
Han Jiaojiao may still be weak, but she is no longer overbearing.
Han Jiaojiao caught another important point, "Auntie, do you know those people are liars?"
Occasionally, when she sees the little girl really suffering and struggling, she will give her some advice in a "childish" way.
"We have poor health and are indeed not as capable as others, but we also have our own strengths."
She is good-looking and soft-tempered. She never speaks loudly to herself. She never looks at herself with an accusatory look like "Why are you so weak and useless?" nor does she feel pity or sympathy.
And Grandma Zhou, who does her best and takes care of every detail.
Gu Qingcheng directly lifted the peak of the military commander out.
Her confusion, her uneasiness, her confusion... she didn't want to get comfort or answers from Gu Qingcheng.
And her father obviously only belongs to the latter.
A knot in her heart was opened.
While chatting, he mentioned that women should keep their integrity and men marry again. Although they tried their best to hide it, Gu Qingcheng still caught the flash of hatred in his eyes.
Grandma Zhou saw all this and felt very grateful to Mrs. Gu.
Gu Qingcheng found Zhao Qingyun and directly ordered, "Let's see if there are any children in the old house who would like to come to our house?"
This kind of mentality is actually abnormal, but Han Jiaojiao's situation is special.
Han Jiaojiao was amused by Gu Qingcheng.
Going to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives would probably raise a question mark.
Instead, she used her own experience to let Han Jiaojiao see a successful case——
Aunt Zhou was an old servant of Han Jiaojiao's maternal grandfather's family. Her grandmother was worried about her grandson, fearing that she would be teased by her stepmother, stepfather, and relatives, so she hired a close friend to pick her up.
Gu Qingcheng rubbed Han Jiaojiao's little head and said softly, "Like me, I have a good life! I can reincarnate and choose a husband..."
Most of the time, Gu Qingcheng just listened silently.
Well, among the words that Aunt Zhou said, probably only "Han Jiaojiao is sick and weak and needs to stop and recuperate" is true.
To put it bluntly, compared to the champion, even those powerful generals in the court, his father can't compare.
Han Jiaojiao suddenly heard Gu Qingcheng's voice.
It is still the lowest level of arrogance from an ignorant child.
Gu Qingcheng understood, well, he was both civil and military, so his background should not be bad.
Or it was sent by my grandmother, or it was an old servant from my maternal grandfather's house.
She has too low self-esteem and a certain amount of self-confidence must be built up for her.
It is true that Han Jiaojiao lost her mother, because Han Jiaojiao also wore mourning clothes.
Gu Qingcheng guessed that Zhou was probably the grandmother in the family.
However, they were all strangers who had met by chance and had brief contact with each other. It was very likely that they would not cross paths in the future, and Gu Qingcheng did not bother to delve into it.
In short, Gu Qingcheng could not see the bond between Zhou and Han Jiaojiao that came from blood.
She was an excellent child, born into a wealthy family, and although she was not related to her parents, the other elders loved her very much.
Well, if you look at it from this aspect, Han Jiaojiao does have great strengths.
Aunt Zhou was willing to teach, so Zhao Yuanyi studied harder.
"Then can he go to heaven?"
"If the child in the old house is not suitable, just ask the patriarch!"
Gu Qingcheng mentioned that he relied on others' help to win his life, and he did not feel guilty at all.
Besides Aunt Zhou, there should be others.
"Boys and girls alike! We must have someone to work in our family."
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be choked, looking slightly embarrassed, and then said calmly, "Of course! I'm not stupid?"
Gu Qingcheng boldly speculated: Han Jiaojiao's biological mother died, but her father quickly remarried.
Slowly, she began to tell Gu Qingcheng some of her innermost thoughts.
But, if you think about it carefully, it makes some damn sense.
Gu Qingcheng said to Han Jiaojiao softly.
Aunt Zhou would rather Han Jiaojiao turn into an unreasonable and unruly noble girl than she would like her to look down on herself.
Even if she has no other strengths, just the fact that she is "good in luck" is enough for her to win over most people!
With a bang, the black threads wrapped around Han Jiaojiao's body disappeared.
"Oh, your father can still fight, so can he catch up with the champion? Champion the three armies bravely, and be a wolf and a slave?!"
Gu Qingcheng blinked her big eyes and asked something that left Han Jiaojiao speechless.
Suddenly, Han Jiaojiao had a serious and cold face, and he always said in a disgusting tone: "Confused! A woman's kindness!"
Han Jiaojiao opened her mouth wide, "Ah? Good luck is also a strength?"
"Why is it bad? I did give them money and food!"
The champion's defiance is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.
All other estimates are false.
Gu Qingcheng was a little depressed: This girl went to learn embroidery every day, but I could make some detailed clothes for her.
But Han Jiaojiao's food, clothing, housing and transportation are very particular. They are not luxurious, but they are not shabby either.
"Yes, but the money will be stolen by the bad guys! The bad guys will treat Ji Sanlang's family even more harshly."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be "proud" like this.
