My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 334 I am overwhelmed by your filial piety.

Chapter 334: 334 I am overwhelmed by your filial piety.

Lin Tang felt her mother’s gaze fall on her from time to time.

She touched her nose, then cast her eyes downward.

Her demeanor became much more restrained.

Seeing this, Li Xiuli’s feelings were a complex mess.

Fancying someone isn’t something you can conceal if you want to.

She had always said that her daughter could only date after turning twenty.

That would have held true if Lin Tang had gone to university.

But now, Tangtang was working, and the matter of dating should have already been on the agenda.

She didn’t look at how the village women came to her house every day, nearly trampling the threshold flat.

She had dismissed those people with the excuse that her daughter was still too young.

Now, seeing Lin Tang seemingly having taken a liking to someone, Li Xiuli was both shocked and surprised.

In the ensuing idle chatter, she was somewhat distracted.

Since they weren’t close and it wasn’t a formal visit, Gu Yingzhou only stayed for a while before he went back.

Lin Tang was kept at home by her mother, who said that Lin Qingshan would take her to the county tomorrow morning.

It wasn’t proper for a young girl to be accompanied by a male comrade.

Lin Tang always felt her mother seemed to realize something and, feeling guilty, she slipped back to her own room.

She thought to herself that if her mother took the initiative to ask about her relationship with Gu Yingzhou, she would be honest.

If not, she’d act as if nothing had happened and wait until after her birthday to discuss it.

Li Xiuli was straightforward.

But when it came to matters concerning her daughter, she would think again and again, agonizing over them.

Lin Lu saw his wife stand in front of their daughter’s door, lost in thought.

He walked over and asked, "Wife, what are you thinking about? Why haven’t you moved in so long?"

Today, Gu Yingzhou had almost exclusively spoken with him, seldom addressing Lin Tang.

Being a simple-minded man, he hadn’t noticed any undercurrents between Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou.

He also didn’t understand what his wife was agonizing over.

Li Xiuli snapped back to reality and glared at Lin Lu, "You don’t know anything!"

Even with eligible bachelors practically knocking down our door, he fails to see the signs and just laughs it off.

He’ll regret it when the time comes!

Thinking this, she no longer felt like confronting her daughter and irritably returned to her room.

Lin Lu’s face was struck with confusion, "..."

Wasn’t everything just fine a moment ago?

Why did she suddenly get angry?

Could this be what Tangtang mentioned... menopause is starting?!

No, he’d have to ask Tangtang if there was any medicine to treat it.

Lin Lu, with a worried face, knocked on Lin Tang’s door.

-

At the same time, at the Gu Family’s home.

Gu Ren and Su Qi brought Su Zheng back to Gu Yingzhou’s house.

As soon as they arrived, Gu Ren said, "Aqi, you give Su Zheng a bath, I’m going to make a phone call."

Yingzhou had finally found a partner, and she needed to inform the family to share the joy.

Su Qi had expected her to call home.

With a resigned smile, he said, "Go ahead, I’ll handle the rest."

Gu Ren gave Su Qi a tender smile and dialed the home phone number.

Ruan Shu had retired and was watching TV at home.

At the sound of the phone ringing, she picked up the receiver.

"Hello..."

Gu Ren only said one sentence.

Ruan Shu adjusted her hearing aid, her face a picture of shock.

It felt like she was dreaming.

Once Gu Ren repeated the words, Ruan Shu finally realized: this was real, not a dream!

Instantly, she became so excited she nearly dropped the phone.

"What? Yingzhou has found someone?" she exclaimed, her voice unusually high-pitched.

Gu Yu, who had been about to drink tea, was startled by her unusually animated tone and spilled tea all over his pants.

Gu Yu, too agitated to bother cleaning up, edged closer.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Whose call was that? Yingzhou has a partner now, did I hear that right?!"

Ruan Shu was listening to Gu Ren talking and had no mind to entertain her yammering husband.

She reached out to push his face away.

"You go over there. I’ll tell you when I get it clear."

Gu Ren heard the noise and paused mid-sentence.

In a hurried voice, Ruan Shu said, "I didn’t tell you, but you continue. What’s Yingzhou’s partner like?

Easy to get along with? Good-looking? How’s their relationship..."

She fired off a string of questions, her mouth never stopping for a second.

Gu Ren’s head was spinning.

"Mom, don’t rush, let me explain slowly," she said with a helpless voice.

Before Ruan Shu could speak, Gu Yu couldn’t hold back.

"Slow what slow, we can’t slow down."

"Your grandfather is nearly eighty, leaning on his stick waiting for you to speak."

"If you keep dragging this out, will you live up to your elderly grandfather? Have you considered his desire to hold a great-grandchild?"

Gu Lao Yezi, who was actually out fishing with old buddies and not even at home, thought, "..." You really are overdoing the filial piety, kiddo.

Gu Ren could only feel a headache coming on.

"Dad, stop using my grandfather as a pretext. As if I don’t know you want to know for yourself."

If grandfather knew her dad was using him as a pretext again, he’d certainly want to hit someone.

Unfazed by having his real motives exposed, Gu Yu continued:

"Let’s not talk about that now, tell us about Yingzhou’s partner.

You remember your mom’s questions, right? Or should I have her repeat them?"

Feeling resigned, Gu Ren said, "I remember."

Her memory might not be as good as her several brothers’, but it wasn’t bad either.

What exactly had given her parents the impression that she was useless?

Gu Yu prompted, "If you remember, then hurry up and tell us. What’s the deal with Yingzhou having a partner?"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but mutter, "...Yingzhou actually managed to find a partner."

It was indeed surprising since the youngest son frequently made women comrades weep.

He found it hard to believe that Gu Yingzhou could land a partner.

Ruan Shu felt dissatisfied with her husband’s condescending attitude toward their youngest son.

She pinched Gu Yu’s well-exercised waist, scolding, "What are you saying? Yingzhou may be rather disappointing, but... there must be something redeemable about him, right?"

At least in terms of capability and looks, he was decent.

Her pinch was not strong, leaving a pleasant numbness on the man’s waist.

Gu Yu twisted his face in pain, and said, "Shushu, be gentler, don’t twist your hand."

Ruan Shu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"Tell me how my hand could get twisted?"

Before marriage, she thought this man was like an exiled immortal in the paintings; after marriage, reality slapped her. This wasn’t an exiled immortal but a complete idiot.

Gu Ren fell silent.

She almost choked on the dog food.

And was slightly tempted... to hang up the phone.

After half a minute of being sweet, Gu Yu and Ruan Shu realized they were still on the phone.

Both, not forgetting the guilt towards their daughter, naturally said, "Renren, continue."

Gu Ren, used to this, carried on, "Yingzhou does indeed have a partner, her name is Lin Tang, and she’s a fine person, just very young, not even seventeen yet.

Although the girl is from the countryside, she is exceptionally outstanding and ambitious.

She’s now an official at the Broadcasting Station of the Textile Factory...

She even got accepted to Huaqing University, but missed it because someone stole her admission letter,

otherwise, she’d be in college by now..."

Gu Yu, who reads the newspaper every day, of course knew about this.

He just never imagined that the person who stirred the educational field with one article would be his future daughter-in-law.

"So it’s that Lin Tang.

The young lady is indeed commendable, bright and proactive; Yingzhou has good taste," Gu Yu complimented.

Ruan Shu had also heard about her from the family.

"With Yingzhou’s high standards, the girl he’d be interested in would naturally not be bad."

On this point, she had confidence in her son.
