Chapter 5504 Ping'er's face-to-face questioning
Yang Ruoqing was still in disguise. Ping'er washed away the disguise on her face and restored her original appearance. Yang Ruoqing accompanied Ping'er to Gu's house as a woman from the same village.
"My mother-in-law, how come you have time to come here in this freezing cold weather? If you want to send me a message, please ask your son-in-law Zhihua to pick you up!"
Mother Gu warmly greeted Ping. Er and Yang Ruoqing greeted them into the main room and sat down, and ordered the maid to make tea and bring snacks to greet them.
Ping'er smiled lightly, "You're welcome, Zhihua is so busy studying, how can I bear to let him get distracted? Besides, I came to the county town to buy New Year's goods with my sisters from the same village, so I stopped by to say hello. ”
Gu's mother nodded repeatedly, put the tea into Ping'er's hand personally, and invited Yang Ruoqing to drink tea.
Yang Ruoqing took the tea and smiled, sitting quietly aside and giving up the home court to Ping'er.
Ping'er took a sip of tea, looked up and looked around, and asked: "Where are my father-in-law and Zhihua? Aren't they at home?"
Mother Gu said: "The eldest daughter is here. When a guest invites a meal, the eldest son-in-law comes over in advance to make arrangements. Father Hua went to have a drink while Zhihua was reading in the study in the backyard. Should I ask the maid to call him over?” A few words to ask him face to face.”
Gu's mother was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of unnaturalness in her eyes, and then she returned to normal.
She asked a maid beside her to go to the backyard and call Gu Zhihua over.
Ping'er drank tea and chatted with Gu's mother.
Gu's mother said: "It's twenty today, and there are six days left for my good daughter-in-law Huahua to come in. I've been so happy that I can't sleep these days. I just hope it will be faster. When my daughter-in-law came in, the house became lively, and there were people around me saying thoughtful words. "
Ping'er took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.
Seeing Ping'er's lukewarm attitude, Gu's mother continued to praise Huahua for being so generous, decent, virtuous and dignified.
Having heard these words a few days ago, Ping'er must have been happy and very grateful to Gu's mother.
But now, Ping'er listened absentmindedly and even sneered in her heart.
Mother Gu gradually stopped talking. Everyone drank tea and ate snacks face to face. The atmosphere in the main room suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, at this time, the maid who went to the backyard to call Gu Zhihua came back.
"In reply to Madam's words, the young master is not in the study. I heard the maid cleaning the backyard say that the young master received an invitation letter from a classmate half an hour ago, and it seems that he went to a poetry meeting."

Mother Gu looked surprised and asked the maid again: "Can you tell me when he will be back?"
The maid shook her head.
Mother Gu waved her hand to dismiss the maid, then turned around and gave Ping'er an apologetic smile.
"My mother-in-law, look at this, what an unlucky thing it is. He was actually called out by his classmates. How about I send someone to find him outside?"
Ping'er put down the tea bowl in her hand and waved her hand: "No need, they young people There is no need to disturb the social interactions of their young people." Gu's mother smiled and nodded: "Hey, my mother-in-law is still considerate, so what, my wedding room and all the furniture in the wedding room are complete, my mother-in-law, I Can I take you to the backyard? ”
Gu’s mother was half off the chair, but Ping’er sat firmly there without any intention of getting up.
"Mom, don't rush to see the wedding room. There is something I originally wanted to ask Gu Zhihua in person. Since he 'happens' not to be at home, I will ask you the same thing. "
Hearing this, Gu's mother sat back again and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you ask. "
"When I came to the county this time, I heard something about your Gu family. I just want to ask. Your son Gu Zhihua clearly mentioned three relatives before. The first one is the daughter of Ma Xiucai from Wanghai County. The second one is the niece of the Bao Zhang’s family in Baiyan Town, and the third one is the only daughter of Chen Yuan’s wife who owns a rice and grain shop in the county. Especially since the marriage of Chen Yuan’s wife’s family is only a few days away, why did it suddenly happen again? ? ”
Gu's mother's expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ping'er continued: "Also, when our two families were discussing marriage, I asked you clearly why Zhihua was so outstanding and hadn't gotten married yet in his early twenties? How did you answer me at that time? You said he was focused on studying and not interested in getting married!"
Mother Gu’s eyes flickered and she had a smile on her face.
"My mother-in-law, you are too worried. I admit that it was my fault that I hid those three marriages. Here I will take care of our family first and make amends for you."
Ping'er frowned slightly and remained unmoved.
Gu's mother continued: "I concealed those three marriages without any malice. After all, those three marriages didn't work out, so there's no need to mention them in front of your real in-laws. Isn't this disrespectful?"
“Besides, men should get married when they are young, and women should get married when they are young, and the whole family can raise a daughter. Baijiaqiu, Zhihua’s father and I asked a matchmaker to find a match for him, but didn’t your Huahua go on a blind date with other men before meeting Zhihua?”
Ping’er was quilted? Mother Gu was angry at what she said, but there was still no clue on her face, but her eyes were colder.
"As you say, you are reminding me that our two families have discussed marriage with others before we discuss marriage, so the turtle should not laugh at the bastard, and no one should find fault with anyone. Is that what you mean?" Pinger asked.
Mother Gu knew that Ping'er was angry, so she changed her tone and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law, you are too worried. How could I mean that? I'm just telling the truth to you, who is digging my heart out. We are all parents, and the marriage of our children is a rock in our hearts!”
"We, Zhihua, really have no intention of getting married. To be honest, these three marriages were sought for him privately by his father and I. The reason why it couldn't happen is that Zhihua has no fate with the girls from those three families. Now Dajie When this red thread was pulled, Zhihua saw it Huahua, she immediately made plans to start a family. This is fate!”
“So my mother-in-law, don’t believe what those people are saying outside. The children of our two families are destined to be together. I saw it the first time. I like it when I see Huahua, When the children get married, we will be a family. It is better if we don’t talk about the two families and don’t let outsiders instigate the relationship.”
Ping’er also raised the corners of her lips: “Yes, we are a family. Don't talk about the two families. My mother-in-law, I heard that you have a The widowed niece is staying at home? Since she is a relative, why don’t you call her out so that you don’t recognize her when you meet her on the street?” Mother Gu's expression was obviously a bit unnatural.
“Hey, speaking of my niece, she had a pitiful fate. She lost her mother when she was only three years old. My brother-in-law is an ungrateful man. When he married a bride, the child suffered.”
"I took her to my home to raise her, and she grew up with my two girls. She treated her as my own daughter, and finally bought her a dowry to get married off. Unfortunately, her uncle was short-lived, and he had a four-year-old son with him. son is widowed , and was driven out by her husband’s family, so we had no choice but to take her back and give them a bite to eat, as a token of good deeds.”
