Chapter 31

Xie Jinxiang was well-known for her aggressive temper in the area.

A man died before her.

The man died young. Less than three months after marrying Xie Jinxiang, he fell off a mountain while collecting firewood and died.

Seeing that Xie Jinxiang had no man, the men in the village actually had evil thoughts about her and climbed over Xie Jinxiang’s door in the middle of the night.

Xie Jinxiang had the habit of putting a kitchen knife under her pillow when she slept to calm herself down. She discovered a man breaking into her house in the middle of the night, and she chased him across half the village with the kitchen knife in hand.

The man was also slashed on the shoulder by Xie Jinxiang.

Because of this, the people in the village where Xie Jinxiang originally married gave her a nickname: Xie Yidao.

In addition to her hot temper, she was also good at quarreling, and no woman in the village dared to confront her head-on.

When she scolds people, she uses all kinds of Chinese language and can say anything nasty. All the young wives and girls who have quarreled with her burst into tears.

Because of her strong personality, Xie Jinxiang also occupies a dominant position in the Gu family.

Gu Dagan was very aggressive towards outsiders, but in front of Xie Jinxiang he didn’t even dare to breathe and was very honest.

Even at this moment, when Xie Jinxiang told her son-in-law about Gu Dagan’s cuckolding in front of him, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he did not dare to say a word to Xie Jinxiang.

Maybe it’s not that I don’t dare.

This is just a manifestation of a rough man’s love for his woman.

Zheng Yunsheng was having a hard time figuring out how to refuse and get back the letter of accusation, but Xie Jinxiang’s fuss actually helped him, so he didn’t have to say anything.

Seeing that Gu Dagan’s ears had turned red due to Xie Jinxiang’s criticism, Gu Qijiao knew that Gu Dagan must be feeling embarrassed, so she hurried over to smooth things over:

“Mom, what delicious food are you making? Hurry up and serve the food. I’m almost starving after walking on the mountain road for so long!”

After hearing Gu Qijiao say she was hungry, Xie Jinxiang gave up scolding Gu Dagan. She turned to Gu Qijiao and said:

“Wait a little longer. Your father asked someone to buy some pig offal today. It will be ready soon. If you are really hungry, eat the steamed buns on the table first.”

“I understand, mother!” Gu Qijiao looked at Xie Jinxiang and nodded.

Only then did Xie Jinxiang pick up her big pot and spoon and return to the kitchen.

In fact, Gu Qijiao was not that hungry. She just wanted to help Gu Dagan out. After Xie Jinxiang entered the house, Gu Qijiao sat opposite Gu Dagan:

“Dad, don’t take it personally. My mother is just that kind of talkative. She actually loves you very much.”

Xie Jinxiang has a sharp tongue, but she is actually very nice to Gu Dagan. In his previous life, Gu Dagan was old and had diabetes, so he had to go to the hospital every day.

At that time, Gu Qijiao had to go to work and had no time to accompany Gu Dagan. It was Xie Jinxiang who dragged her old arms and legs and rushed around the hospital to take care of Gu Dagan.

She never complained about it, and her temper improved a lot when she got older. The couple still had a good relationship in their old age.

Gu Dagan was often scolded, but he had gotten used to it and didn’t feel angry at all.

Gu Dagan was quite embarrassed to have his past exposed in front of his son-in-law. He felt that he no longer had the same dignity in front of Zheng Yunsheng.

But apart from the embarrassment, Gu Dagan felt an indescribable touch of emotion in his heart.

Her daughter has become much more sensible after getting married. Yesterday at noon, he and his wife came to give her something, but she actually refused to accept it and asked the old couple to use it themselves.

In the past, she would not only accept it, but would probably also say it was too little.

Looking at today, Xie Jinxiang scolded Gu Dagan, and Gu Qijiao actually took the initiative to send Xie Jinxiang away, and even sat down to comfort Gu Dagan.

Gu Qijiao was not like this before. She didn’t care when her parents quarreled. Sometimes she even thought they were too noisy and annoying.

Gu Dagan was very happy.

Thinking that his love for her was not in vain, his daughter finally grew up.

In fact, the old couple of the Gu family loved their daughter Gu Qijiao in vain, both in their past life and in this life. It’s just that Gu Qijiao became sensible a little late in her past life.

After Gu Qijiao sat down, Zheng Yunsheng also sat quietly beside her, trying hard to reduce his presence.

His father-in-law already had a bad impression of him, and now that he had heard about his old stories, he had to be careful.

In fact, the village is not that big, and Zheng Yunsheng had already heard almost everything about Gu Dagan’s family affairs from people in the village.

However, the feeling of hearing this kind of thing behind someone’s back is very different from hearing it in person.
