Chapter 36 Two Mothers’ Thoughts

Seeing Gu Ye carrying such a big bag of luggage, while Shen Zhiyu was only carrying a small satchel, Gu’s mother was dissatisfied. Now they were going out together, and Gu Ye was carrying the heavy things. When they were living together, would Shen Zhiyu be able to take care of Gu Ye?

Chen Cuijuan was still immersed in her joy of possibly being able to go out and see the world with her daughter, she didn’t notice Gu’s mother’s bad mood, and smiled as she greeted her, “In-law, you’re here, let’s go send them off together.” Chen Cuijuan’s familiar tone, if you didn’t know better, you would think she was Gu Ye’s real mother. Gu’s mother forced a smile, “Yes, although the second son has gone so many times, I’m still worried.” “Second son, don’t worry, the fields are not so busy now, the house will be built soon, you can move into the new house when you come back next time.

” “The house is very big, even if you bring your grandson back, there will be enough space!” Originally, Gu’s mother thought that they were both going to the army, so there was no need to rush the building of the house. But now, seeing Chen Cuijuan’s attitude. This wasn’t like a mother-in-law at all. If you didn’t know better, you would think she was here to compete with her for her son.

 A son-in-law is half a son. At that time, Chen Cuijuan said this unconsciously, and now Gu’s mother felt a strong sense of crisis. The second son was kind and pure, he was easily fooled. Shen Zhiyu was a cunning one, what if she was whispering sweet nothings in the second son’s ear every day, making him closer to her family, and going to help her brothers? Gu’s mother even felt that Shen Zhiyu shouldn’t go at all. It was normal for newly married couples to have a good relationship.

 If they were separated, and they couldn’t see each other for a whole year, their relationship would naturally fade. If their relationship with their wife was already fading, their relationship with her family would be even worse. When Chen Cuijuan heard Gu’s mother’s words, the corner of her mouth twitched, “In-law, what do you mean? You’re saying this when they’re about to leave, aren’t you making the kids uncomfortable?” Gu’s mother looked up when she heard this, and she really saw that Gu Ye’s face wasn’t looking good. She quickly explained with a smile, “No, I’m just worried that Yu Yu is weak, and it’ll be uncomfortable for her to travel.” Gu’s mother had a particularly kind face. If it had been before, Shen Zhiyu would have thought that Gu’s mother was thinking of her.

 But now…….. she didn’t dare to think too much. Sensing that Gu Ye wasn’t in a good mood, she laughed and said, “Mom, I’m fine, besides, I’ll have to go sooner or later, isn’t it better to have Gu Ye with me now than for me to go alone later?” “That’s true, Mom was thinking wrong, hehe.”

 It wasn’t even dawn, and the bus hadn’t arrived yet. Chen Cuijuan had arranged for a donkey cart in the village in advance. When they reached the entrance of the production team, Old Li was already waiting there with the donkey cart. After they got on the cart, Chen Cuijuan looked at her daughter, her nose suddenly felt sour. She quickly suppressed it, and said to Gu Ye, “Xiao Gu, this is Yu Yu’s first time going far away, you need to take good care of her.”

Gu Ye nodded, “Of course.” “With you here, Mom is much more relieved, be careful on the road, send a letter home when you get there, okay?” “Okay, Mom, you guys go back and rest.” Gu’s mother watched Chen Cuijuan speak one after another, she wasn’t going to be outdone, “Second son, take good care of Yu Yu, Mom is here at home, don’t worry about anything.” Then she looked at Shen Zhiyu’s stomach and said with a smile, “Yu Yu, let us know as soon as you have any news, your father and I are all looking forward to it, we’re waiting to hold our grandson.

” Shen Zhiyu: “……. ” She couldn’t respond to this topic, so she silently passed the question to Gu Ye. Gu Ye pursed his lips, “Let nature take its course, if she gets pregnant, we’ll naturally send a message home.” “We’ll be happy with a grandson or a granddaughter, okay, don’t miss the bus, Old Li, let’s go.” Chen Cuijuan smiled and touched Shen Zhiyu’s face, waving her hand. Old Li responded, flicked his whip, and the donkey moved. It wasn’t until they couldn’t see them anymore that Chen Cuijuan wiped her eyes, “The wind this morning is blowing my eyes, it’s so uncomfortable, in-law, let’s go back.” Because of Chen Cuijuan’s previous sentence, “We’ll be happy with a grandson or a granddaughter,” Gu’s mother was unhappy. Seeing Chen Cuijuan like this, her expression was even worse. No wonder people said she was crazy. How could she curse her daughter to give birth to a daughter.

Yes, Shen Zhiyu was her daughter, even if she gave birth to a son, it would be a grandson to them, she wouldn’t care. But it was Old Gu’s grandson! However, Gu’s mother didn’t bother to say this to Chen Cuijuan, she nodded perfunctorily, with a hint of meaning, “When the second son went for the first time, I was more uncomfortable than you, sigh, it’s been so many years.”

Chen Cuijuan didn’t bother to respond to her sarcasm. Before they had much interaction, she also thought that Gu’s mother was a good person, she was good to all three sons. Now that Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu were married, they had more interaction, and Chen Cuijuan realized that she was a bit hypocritical. She clearly favored her eldest grandson and youngest son, but she pretended to be fair. She was better than her, she was always being called crazy, but she was clearly biased towards her daughter! How could a son and daughter-in-law be as close as a daughter?

 ————

Over the years, including the first time he went to the army, Gu Ye had basically walked to the county. This was the first time he had ridden a donkey cart like today. To be honest, the donkey cart wasn’t much faster than walking, but it was definitely more comfortable sitting down.

When they arrived in the city, he felt much more energetic than before. At the city bus station, Gu Ye put his luggage on the ground and asked Shen Zhiyu to stand there and wait for him while he went to buy tickets. Communication was inconvenient now, and it was also inconvenient to travel. They were afraid of missing the bus or being delayed by something on the road, so they all left several hours in advance, like them. Some people even came the night before. This was Shen Zhiyu’s first time coming to the city to take a bus, everything was unfamiliar to her.

Gu Ye asked her to stand there and wait for him, she didn’t even dare to move. When Gu Ye came back with the tickets, he handed her hers, “Go up and find a seat first, I’ll put the luggage up.” The luggage rack was on top of the bus. You had to climb up a metal ladder on the side of the bus and put the luggage up there. The ladder was completely vertical to the ground, very narrow and thin, Shen Zhiyu felt it was hard to climb just looking at it. Gu Ye had to carry the luggage with one hand and climb up with the other. “I’ll help you.” “No need, I can do it myself, you go up first and grab a seat, if there are no seats left, you’ll have to wait for the next one.”

 Now buying tickets wasn’t name-based, and there wasn’t a rule that whoever bought the ticket first got on the bus first. Anyway, the tickets all said from the city to the province, if this bus was full, you would have to wait for the next one. Shen Zhiyu nodded quickly, took her ticket and got on the bus, found two seats near the front and sat down.

 Just like Gu Ye said, she had only been on the bus for a short time, and it was already full. Several people saw that there was an empty seat next to her, and they were about to sit down. Shen Zhiyu quickly moved to the outer side, put her satchel on the inner seat, “This seat is taken.” The ticket collector stood at the door of the bus, frowning and shouting loudly, “Wait for the next bus, those who don’t have seats get off, the next bus will be here soon!” Many people were going to the province to catch the train, just like them.

 The next bus would be in half an hour, they might not even make it! Many people were still trying to squeeze on, the ticket collector was annoyed. Seeing Gu Ye in his military uniform, his expression softened a little, “Comrade, this bus is full, wait for the next one.”
