"How dare you speak like that?" Shen Wuqiu glared at him with a forced smile, then introduced him, "These are Lingyu's parents, say hello."
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because these words only made Shen Wujun angrier. He looked around but didn't see anyone. "Where's Gu Lingyu?"
Shen Wuqiu glanced at Gu Junshan and Daiying, somewhat embarrassed, "They probably haven't gotten up yet."
Gu Junshan and Dai Ying glanced at the white cat huddled in the corner, wolfing down its food. They cursed inwardly, but on the surface, they maintained an expression of indifference, as if nothing had happened.
Shen Wujun looked at the couple and said, "Then I'll go and wake them up now."
"..." Shen Wuqiu quickly pulled him back, "What are you doing?"
Shen Wujun continued to look at Gu Junshan and Daiying: "I'm going to let everyone know today that you're not so easy to bully. As the saying goes, the son pays for the father's debts, and the sister pays for the brother's debts. I'll beat up this bastard's sister first."
This is a classic example of making an example of someone to warn others.
"..." Shen Wuqiu was completely at a loss for words. She thought that as long as she could get her father to agree to her pregnancy, everything would be fine. Now she realized that her younger brother was also a ticking time bomb.
Unlike Shen Wuqiu's awkwardness and helplessness, Gu Junshan and Daiying were quite relaxed, with an attitude of indifference, which Shen Wuqiu even saw as a bit of schadenfreude.
Indeed, only eccentric parents can raise eccentric children.
To Shen Wujun, Gu Junshan and Daiying's indifference was a sign of contempt. He stormed up, pried open Shen Wuqiu's hand, and angrily headed upstairs.
Fortunately, Su Yunzhi in the kitchen heard the noise, quickly turned off the stove and came out, "Junjun, what are you doing?"
Shen Wujun ignored her.
Shen Wuqiu: "Auntie, you hold him back, he says he's going upstairs to beat up Lingyu."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunzhi immediately pulled him back, "What's wrong with you so early in the morning, child?"
Shen Wujun glanced at Gu Junshan and Daiying, "I need to let people know that our Shen family is not to be trifled with. Some shameless people, when the brother bullies someone, the sister still shamelessly comes to their door to eat and stay."
Shen Wuqiu raised an eyebrow, only then realizing that her younger brother was surprisingly quick-witted.
To be honest, even Su Yunzhi, as a mother, didn't expect this.
After pausing for two seconds, she quickly smiled at Gu Junshan and Daiying and said, "Junjun has been close to Wuqiu since childhood, and he was eager to protect his sister, which is why he spoke so bluntly..."
Aside from her concern that Gu Lingyu was a boy, Su Yunzhi was actually quite satisfied with Gu Lingyu. Upon hearing that Gu Lingyu was only eighteen years old, she had been thinking about keeping the good stuff within the family and making Gu Lingyu her daughter-in-law.
Before yesterday, this idea wasn't very strong.
But after what happened yesterday, I just couldn't suppress this thought anymore.
She had opened and looked at the gifts that Gu Junshan and his family brought yesterday. They were top-quality wild ginseng, something that money couldn't buy. Without even asking, she knew that the Gu family must be a family of high status and influence.
Furthermore, now that Wuqiu is pregnant with their child, the relationship between the two families has become even closer. In any case, Wuqiu can't become even closer to someone else through marriage, but doesn't she have a son and the other party has a daughter?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. How could she let her son get pregnant in front of his future in-laws?
“Juanjuan is a good child, she has no other problems, she is just very sentimental, please don’t take it to heart.”
"Mom! What are you doing?" He was furious, but his mother greeted him with a smile. Shen Wujun angrily pulled Su Yunzhi behind him. "Don't say anything."
Su Yunzhi wasn't as strong as him and couldn't persuade him, so she could only say to Shen Wuqiu, "Wuqiu, why don't you try to persuade your brother?"
Shen Wuqiu rubbed her brow bone, looking troubled. "I know you're trying to avenge me, but it's not entirely someone else's fault. Besides, the person is gone..."
"Just because someone dies doesn't mean you can absolve yourself of responsibility? He was unlucky, and you have to suffer all this because of him??"
This statement clearly shows bias.
Shen Wuqiu could only comfort him: "This is a long story, and it can't be explained in just a few words. I'll explain it to you properly another day. Calm down first. Little brother, don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
No amount of words could compare to the devastating impact of that last sentence. Shen Wujun glared at Gu Junshan and said, "Let me tell you, with me around, your family won't be able to bully my sister."
Gu Junshan smiled, showing no displeasure at Shen Gongzi's earlier display of aggression. "Don't worry, Young Master Shen, we certainly won't bully Wuqiu."
Shen Wujun lowered his head and spat, "A whole family of well-dressed beasts."
Su Yunzhi was afraid that Shen Wujun would get into another conflict in the living room, so she quickly pulled him outside and said, "Your dad has been gone for so long, go and call him back for dinner."
Shen Wujun was reluctant to go, saying, "This couple doesn't look like good people. We can't let my sister be fooled by them."
"Alright, your sister isn't stupid. She knows what she's doing. Besides, the baby's in her belly now, so we can only do what she says."
Shen Wujun frowned, unable to understand his mother's words: "What are you talking about? My sister isn't married yet."
"Now that you have a child, what can you do?"
"What do you mean by 'what to do'? Are we just going to let them get away with this? I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Su Yunzhi looked at him and said, "What kind of attitude are you going to give them? Their daughter is in our house now, so you're going to bully her and get her pregnant with our child?"
"..."
Chapter 30 Confession
What kind of indecent and lewd words are these?
Shen Wujun couldn't believe that such words could come from his mother's mouth. He found it unbelievable and absurd. He stared at her for a long time before finally unable to hold back and retorted, "How can you, as an elder, be so disrespectful?"
That's too ruthless.
Su Yunzhi was so angry that she jumped up and smacked him on the forehead. "I think you're a little bastard too."
"Isn't that because you were too careless with your words? I wanted to beat that bastard who bullied my sister to a pulp, and now you want me to do that? Isn't that a slap in my face? Besides, it's not Gu Lingyu who's in the wrong. What's wrong with our family taking our anger out on a girl?"
"Who was it inside just now yelling about going to pull that person up and beat them up?"
"..." Shen Wujun choked, and touched his nose guiltily. "I was just putting on an act. After all, her parents are elders, and it wouldn't be good for me to lay a hand on them right away... But I can't let them think that my family is easy to bully, can I?"
Hearing him say that, Su Yunzhi felt a little relieved, but she still kept a serious face. "I thought you hated people that much."
Shen Wujun didn't realize that his mother was probing him, and said in a very straightforward way, "I wouldn't say I hate her. I used to think she was quite funny, but now that I know she has such a brother, I just don't like her anymore."
"But you said it yourself, that's her brother, and he has nothing to do with her..."
"I just don't like her..."
"She's such a pretty girl, and you're still not happy looking at her? Do you want to look at flowers?"
"Whether she's pretty or not is none of my business..." Halfway through his sentence, Shen Wujun realized something and looked at his mother strangely, "Why do I feel like you've been taking her side the whole time?"
Su Yunzhi just thought that her "foolish son of the landlord" had finally come to his senses.
As a result, Shen Wujun quickly followed up with, "What benefits did Gu Lingyu give you?"
"..." Su Yunzhi was so angry that her liver hurt, and she instantly lost the desire to say anything more to him. "Get out, get out, go and call your dad back for breakfast."
It's utterly baffling.
However, he was happy to have some peace and quiet, since he got a headache whenever he talked to his mother anyway.
Su Yunzhi was both angry and worried when she saw her son running away so quickly.
Every guy her age in the village has had several girlfriends by now, but her son, who is the best in every other way except for his studies, is still clueless about romance even at his age.
Su Yunzhi's worries were not unfounded; in her view, her son was as clueless as a block of wood when it came to matters of the heart.
Last year during the National Day holiday, he brought a few male and female classmates back to visit. They were sitting on the floor playing games when a girl with a high ponytail sat down next to him. He immediately said, "Jiali, don't sit next to me, your smell is bothering me..."
"Shen Wujun, are you trying to make me laugh? Jiali is wearing Chanel's latest perfume, known as the 'man-slaying fragrance'!"
"Yes, it smells so good..."
"What kind of 'man-slaying fragrance' is this? Don't you guys find it overpowering? By the way, Carrie, do you have body odor? Is that why you're spraying this stuff? Let me tell you, body odor can be cured now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the girl covered her face and ran away.
Unfortunately, Su Yunzhi happened to be delivering fruit upstairs at that moment and witnessed the whole scene.
With her woman's intuition, she could clearly sense that this girl named Carrie had some feelings for her son.
Unfortunately, her son is so clueless about romance.
If there hadn't been so many people around, she would have loved to go up and beat that person up.
At first, Su Yunzhi thought that her son didn't like this girl named Jiali, so he said those things on purpose. As it turned out, she was overthinking it.
Her son's exact words were: "I don't dislike Carrie. I actually quite enjoy playing games with her. She's much cooler than other girls who play games, and she's good at playing all kinds of heroes."
"Then why did you talk about them in front of so many people?"
"Her perfume was really overpowering. I reminded her that it wasn't for her own good. It makes me so annoyed. Because she left, I lost my promotion match. It's so frustrating. I'm never playing games with girls again..."
He's obviously destined to be single forever.
Su Yunzhi, unable to bear it any longer, picked up a feather duster and started hitting him, yelling, "Games! Games! I'll teach you to play games all day long..."
"I was just on vacation having some fun... Why did you hit me for no reason?"
Su Yunzhi couldn't bring herself to hit him hard, so she just put on a show, only to be furious herself.
From then on, Su Yunzhi was troubled by this matter.
Watching the person turn into the bay along the main road, Su Yunzhi muttered under her breath, "How can someone so good-looking be so clueless?"
Then, he composed himself and went inside, saying to Gu Junshan and Dai Ying, who had already taken their seats, "Please excuse my poor appearance."
Daiying admired him, saying, "Boys should be like this to be likable. It's clear he's a responsible and dependable young man."
Hearing this, Su Yunzhi felt much lighter. "This child is just a bit playful and impatient, but his character is still good."
Daiying nodded, glancing out of the corner of her eye at a cat wiggling its bottom as it squeezed into the gap of a drawer under the TV cabinet. She subtly clenched her fingers, but still smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we should be apologizing to you. This child, Ayu, hasn't caused you any trouble, has she?"
"No, no, no." Su Yunzhi shook her head repeatedly. "Lingyu is a beautiful and well-behaved child, very lovable."
"She is quite pretty, though. If she weren't pretty, I wouldn't have acknowledged her as my daughter." Dai Ying glanced at Su Yunzhi's slightly stiff smile and smiled again. "Just kidding. By the way, is Ayu always this sleepy? Look, it's already past noon, and I still haven't seen her come downstairs."
Speaking of this, Su Yunzhi was also taken aback. "Usually, Wuqiu and I sleep and wake up together, but today is a bit strange. I guess she was excited when she saw you coming yesterday and went to bed late, so she slept in a little today. Anyway, there's no rush. I'll make breakfast first and then go call her."
Daiying appeared to be listening to her, but in reality, her gaze remained fixed on the furry white bottom of the TV cabinet.
This useless thing is stuck again.
How did she even give birth to such a stupid thing?
Daiying held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Madam Chen, look what that is?"
Su Yunzhi seemed to only then notice her gaze, and followed it to the TV cabinet.
Shen Wuqiu also looked over, and upon seeing the familiar tail and the butt with a small hole, she quickly stood up. "Meow Meow, what are you doing over there?"
