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, ask your son-in-law Zhihua to pick you up!"

Gu's mother enthusiastically welcomed Ping'er and Yang Ruoqing into the main room to sit down, and ordered the maid to make tea and bring snacks to greet them.

Ping'er smiled lightly, "You're too polite. Zhihua is so busy studying, how can I bear to let him get distracted? Besides, I came to the county town with my sisters from the same village to buy New Year's goods, 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 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? Are they not at home?"

Gu's mother said: "The eldest daughter has a guest at her house to treat her to dinner. The eldest son-in-law came over before the hour to take Zhihua's father over to have a drink. Zhihua is reading in the study in the backyard. Should I ask the maid to call him over?"

Ping'er nodded: "Okay, then call him over. I just have a few words to ask him face to face."

Mother Gu was stunned for a moment, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across 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 about their affairs.

Gu's mother said: "It's twenty today, and my good wife Huahua is going to come in in six days. I've been so happy that I can't sleep these days. I just hope that it will be better soon. My daughter-in-law comes in."

, the house is lively, and there are people around me who can talk to me and say thoughtful words."

Ping'er took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.

Seeing Ping'er's lukewarm attitude, Gu's mother went on to praise Huahua for being so generous, decent, virtuous and dignified.

Having heard these words a few days ago, Ping'er must have felt happy and very grateful to Gu's mother.

But now, Ping'er listened absentmindedly and even sneered in her heart.

Gu's mother gradually stopped talking, and 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 had gone 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. It seems that he went to a poetry meeting."

Gu's mother looked surprised and asked the maid: "Can you tell me when he will be back?"

The maid shook her head.

Gu's mother waved her hand and dismissed 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 have their own social interactions, so there is no need to disturb them."

Gu's mother smiled and nodded: "Hey, my mother-in-law is still considerate. What about, my wedding room and all the furniture in the wedding room are complete. My mother-in-law, can I take you to the backyard to have a look?"

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 on her face: "What's the matter, you ask."

"When I came to the county town this time, I heard something about your Gu family. I just want to ask. Before, your son Gu Zhihua clearly mentioned that there are three relatives. The first one is the daughter of Ma Xiucai of Wanghai County, and the second one is the Baoyan of Baiyan Town.

The elder's niece, the third is the only daughter of Mrs. Chen's family who owns a rice and grain shop in the county town. Especially since the marriage of Mrs. Chen's family was 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, who is so outstanding, has not yet gotten married in his early twenties? How did you answer me at that time? You said that he was focused on studying.

No intention of marriage!"

Gu's mother'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, it's time for a boy to get married and a girl to get married. There are hundreds of families looking for adopted girls. Zhihua's father and I asked a matchmaker to find a match for him. But before your family Huahua met Zhihua, wasn't she with another man?

Have you ever had a blind date?"

Ping'er was angered by Gu's mother's words, but there was still no clue on her face, but her eyes were colder.

"You mean, you are reminding me that our two families have discussed marriage with others before we discuss marriage, so Oogway should not laugh at the bastard, and no one should find fault with anyone. Is that what you mean?" Ping'er asked.

Gu's mother 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 can I mean that? I'm just telling you the truth, we are all parents.

Yes, our children’s marriage is a stone in our hearts!”

"We, Zhihua, really have no intention of getting married. To be honest, these three marriages were privately sought out for him 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

As soon as this red thread was pulled, Zhihua saw Huahua and immediately made plans to start a family. This is fate!"

"So my mother-in-law, don't believe what those people outside are saying. The children of our two families are destined to be together. I liked Huahua the first time I saw her. When the children get married, we will be a family. We don't speak the same language as the two families.

, it’s better not to be instigated by outsiders.”

Ping'er also raised the corners of her lips: "Yes, the family doesn't speak the same language. My mother-in-law, I heard that you have a widowed niece living at home? Since they are all relatives, why don't you call her out and let me have a look? So as not to go there.

Then I didn’t even recognize him when I met him on the street.”

When Ping'er called her name and wanted to see her niece, Gu's mother looked a little unnatural.

"Hey, speaking of my niece, she has such a pitiful fate. She lost her mother when she was only three years old. My brother-in-law is an ungrateful man. If he marries a bride, the child will suffer."

"I took her to my home to raise her, and she grew up with my two girls. She treated her as my own daughter. I finally bought a dowry for her to get married off, but it happened that her uncle was short-lived and had a four-year-old son.
