Chapter 14

“Of course it counts.” Although Zheng Yunsheng didn’t know what Gu Qijiao was thinking, he knew that a gentleman’s word was as good as his bond. Of course, he had to keep his promise to Gu Qijiao.

Moreover, matters between men and women should be based on mutual consent. If Gu Qijiao didn’t want to, Zheng Yunsheng certainly wouldn’t force her.

But Zheng Yunsheng really didn’t know before that Gu Qijiao was still experiencing discomfort with that matter after marriage. It can be imagined how bad he, as a husband, had done before.

“Yeah.” Seeing that Zheng Yunsheng agreed, Gu Qijiao nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Gu Qijiao looked better, Zheng Yunsheng sat down, took the meal that Gu Qijiao had served and started eating.

The rice and corn were cooked very soft, and the scrambled eggs with cucumber tasted good too.

After Gu Qijiao put down her bowl and chopsticks, Zheng Yunsheng ate all the remaining dishes without leaving any.

After finishing the meal, Gu Qijiao wanted to get up to clean up, but Zheng Yunsheng got there first. He put the dishes together and said,

“You take a good rest, I’ll wash the dishes.”

While Zheng Yunsheng was washing dishes, Xie Jinxiang and Gu Dagan came.

Both of them were twisting things in their hands. After entering the yard, they saw Zheng Yunsheng washing dishes through the kitchen door.

The couple looked at each other tacitly, and they were obviously very satisfied with Zheng Yunsheng’s performance.

Originally, Xie Jinxiang was a little worried that the educated youth from the city would not know how to live and would make Gu Qijiao suffer.

Now that she saw Zheng Yunsheng coming back from work and willing to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Xie Jinxiang felt much more relieved.

Gu Qijiao’s parents were quite satisfied with Zheng Yunsheng in their previous life.

They had always supported any decision made by Gu Qijiao, but when Gu Qijiao said she wanted a divorce, they both opposed it.

The couple even had a fight with Gu Qijiao over her divorce.

But there was no point in arguing. No one could stop Gu Qijiao from taking the path she had decided to take.

After Gu Qijiao woke up from her rebirth, she began to think about meeting her parents. However, there is a rule in the countryside here that a married woman cannot return home until three days later.

So it is not convenient for her to go back to her parents’ home.

Fortunately, she remembered that her parents came to see her on the first day of her wedding, so she was not in a hurry and just waited at home.

She thought she would be very happy to see her parents.

But at this moment, the parents came to the yard carrying things. Gu Qijiao looked at their still young appearance and her eyes couldn’t help but become wet.

In her previous life, she taught at a university. When she brought her parents to live near the school, their hair had already turned white.

Gu Dagan is in poor health and has to go to the hospital every few days.

And because Xie Jinxiang has been taking care of Gu Dagan for a long time, she is getting older day by day.

Life in old age is not easy for both husband and wife.

Before she saw her parents, Gu Qijiao didn’t feel anything. But now that she saw them when they were young again, she was so excited that she couldn’t speak.

The old couple thought that Gu Qijiao had just gotten married and many things at home had not been prepared yet, so they rushed to deliver the things after lunch.

I also want to take a look at how Gu Qijiao’s life is after marriage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the yard, before they could even say a word, Gu Qijiao pouted and looked at them eagerly, as if she was about to cry.

“My dear daughter, what’s wrong with you? Have you been wronged? If you have any problem, just tell your father and he will take care of it for you.”

Gu Dagan cherishes Gu Qijiao as if she were his own life, and what he hates most is seeing his daughter being wronged.

Fortunately, he saw Zheng Yunsheng washing dishes when he entered the room and thought this guy was not bad.

He actually dared to let his precious daughter suffer.

Gu Qijiao was so happy when she left home, but how come her eyes were red when she saw the couple after not seeing them for just one night?

It must be Zheng Yunsheng who bullied his precious child!

For a moment, Gu Dagan looked at Zheng Yunsheng with an unfriendly look.

Zheng Yunsheng, who had just finished washing the dishes and was carrying the basin out to pour water, looked at Gu Qijiao innocently after meeting his father-in-law’s fierce gaze.

“Dad, Mom.” Zheng Yunsheng held the water and greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law carefully.

Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang both had cold expressions and responded to Zheng Yunsheng with a “hmm” through their noses.

Seeing the looks of her parents, Gu Qijiao felt touched and amused at the same time.

Her parents have always been like this, unconditionally protecting her and doting on Gu Qi to no end. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they indulge her.

If a girl from another family climbs into a man’s bed, she might be beaten to death by her parents.

But what did Gu Dagan say? He said:

“My daughter can read and write, and she’s a top student in school. The teachers all say she’s excellent. It’s a blessing for that brat that she falls in love with that idiotic educated youth!”

In Gu Dagan’s eyes, nothing his precious daughter does is wrong.

Just like now, although Gu Dagan hasn’t asked Gu Qijiao why her eyes were red, he has already preconceived that it must be Zheng Yunsheng who bullied her.

Fortunately, these two are biological parents. If they were stepfathers and stepmothers, Gu Qijiao might suspect that they were flattering her.

Honestly speaking, it’s really not good for them to spoil their children without any bottom line.

The young Gu Qijiao was successfully led astray by them in this way.

However, Gu Qijiao herself had no reason to blame her parents, because she knew that her parents truly loved her deeply.

In their previous lives, although they lived a hard life, they were unwilling to follow Gu Qijiao to the city to enjoy a good life. Later, it was only after Gu Qijiao cried and begged them that they relented and went.

After arriving in the city, during the first two years when the old couple were still in good health, in order to reduce Gu Qijiao’s living burden, they secretly picked up garbage to sell without telling Gu Qijiao.

When they lived with Gu Qijiao, they were always reluctant to spend money.

The old couple were afraid that Gu Qijiao would be unable to have children and remarry, and that her life in old age would be difficult, so they had to think carefully before spending every penny.

Later, Gu Dagan fell ill. He was afraid of spending money on hospital treatment, so he kept it a secret from Gu Qijiao for a long time. If Gu Qijiao hadn’t found the medical records, Gu Dagan might have died long ago.

Later, the couple grew older and older, and were afraid that they would die in a foreign land and not be able to return home, so they returned to their hometown with a very tough attitude.

In fact, Gu Qijiao knew that they were not afraid of dying in a foreign land, but they did not want to die in Gu Qijiao’s house.

However, Gu Qijiao couldn’t persuade them. She refused to let them return to the village, so they went on a hunger strike in protest.

As a last resort, Gu Qijiao had to send Gu Dagan and Xie Jinxiang back to the village.

When Gu Qijiao had the car accident, it had been less than a month since she sent her parents back home.

Now think about it, if the old couple knew that Gu Qijiao died in an accident just one month after they returned,

It was on Gu Qijiao’s birthday.

I don’t know how sad and regretful the old couple must be.

In a moment, Gu Qijiao’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and she felt very sad.

But now that her young parents were right in front of her, Gu Qijiao quickly hid her bitter emotions and tried to look at them with a smile on her face:
