Chapter 322: Chapter 322: The Mother-in-law’s Test

Madam Tang didn’t get to ask her question before Elder Huang nodded.

"That child must be hiding something from us. Her health must be related to those medicines!" Madam Tang covered her mouth, feeling heartbroken.

Just a moment ago, her lively daughter was now pale and had fallen asleep.

Sister Ying wasn’t aware of what had happened and just looked at them. "She only took some medicine, right? Why does she look so exhausted?"

Madam Tang forced a bitter smile. "She just doesn’t take her health seriously."

Elder Huang reminded them, "Cultivating poison insects needs special methods, an outsider definitely wouldn’t understand. Although Third Brother doesn’t like using flesh and blood, their family loves sinister methods!"

Sister Ying began to have suspicions.

She sighed, "That’s truly frightening!"

Only the middle-aged leader said, "Aren’t you guys being overly imaginative? Do you really think there’s someone who still raises poison insects nowadays? Such superstitions shouldn’t be spoken lightly!"

Sister Ying rolled her eyes at him and pulled him away first.

As for Father Tang and Madam Tang, they just sat outside chatting and didn’t leave. Shortly after, Gu Beihuai returned with Father Gu following behind him.

Gu Beihuai peeked in to see that Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianzheng were asleep, and quietly asked what had happened.

Upon learning it wasn’t a big issue, Gu Beihuai snorted, "Let that old thing get away!"

Father Gu kicked him, but fortunately, Gu Beihuai dodged.

He wasn’t angry as it was his father kicking him, and if he sulked, he’d definitely get kicked again.

Madam Tang asked if he was hurt.

"I’m fine. That old thing knew I’d be present and escaped. If I’d caught him, I’d make him kneel before Third Brother!"

To Gu Beihuai, the old thing was targeting his wife, which was intolerable from any angle.

Madam Tang chuckled dryly, "No need to kneel. Once Jianzheng recovers, he’ll handle it himself."

Gu Beihuai agreed and wanted to enter the ward to see Tang Chuxia, but was stopped.

"Xiaxia just fell asleep, let her sleep a bit longer. Let’s take a walk!"

Madam Tang pulled Mrs. Gu to walk outside.

They had just heard Tang Chuxia’s bold remarks and now needed to get Gu Beihuai’s opinion!

Gu Beihuai felt a bit uneasy, sensing that the mothers were looking at him oddly.

Once outside, Gu Beihuai asked, "Mom, Aunt Lan, what on earth do you want to tell me?"

Mrs. Gu patted her son’s hand, "Son, how have I treated you?"

Gu Beihuai replied with a confused tone, "Very well!"

Mrs. Gu was very satisfied. After all, it was her own son who didn’t speak ill.

She quietly asked, "Now tell me honestly, what do you think are the benefits of marriage?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

How would he know?

But since Madam Tang was watching him intently, feeling an urge to avoid danger, Gu Beihuai rubbed the back of his head and said, "There are many benefits, like having a wife to talk with?"

Mrs. Gu was pleased.

Madam Tang nodded, "And what if Xiaxia doesn’t do household chores?"

Gu Beihuai could answer this.

"If she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to do it. We can hire a nanny to help clean!"

In recent years, there’s been talk against hiring servants at home, so a nanny replaces the term ’servant.’

With their family’s financial situation, hiring a nanny is completely feasible, with no concern needed.

This question didn’t seem challenging for him.

Madam Tang thought for a moment, realizing it was understandable; if young people dislike chores, she could understand, and if possible, who likes serving a whole family’s needs?

She often asked the neighbor aunt for help, just by giving some money.

Mrs. Gu patted her son’s back discontentedly, "Can a nanny always be at home? If the nanny’s not around, what will you do?"

Gu Beihuai gave an ’ah,’ as with his mom hitting his back, he didn’t dare to retort, so he said, "I’ll do it then?"

Mrs. Gu nodded, knowing that with Tang Chuxia’s delicate health, cooking wouldn’t suit her.

Madam Tang laughed, "Huai is a good boy. I’ll give you some recipes for medicinal dishes when we get back. They don’t take much work; just buy the ingredients and let them simmer in a pot!"

She wasn’t going to make Gu Beihuai cook; that would be bullying.

Mrs. Gu joked with Madam Tang, "You’re doting on your son-in-law. Let Huai learn to cook; you can’t let Xiaxia starve in the future!"

Hearing her daughter’s mother-in-law speak like this naturally made Madam Tang happy, and she expressed, "Our families live close by, how could they lack a meal?"

Mrs. Gu laughed heartily, agreeing.

They could always have the children come home for meals.

That’s the benefit of living nearby.

Mentioning living close by, Madam Tang then asked Gu Beihuai, "Have you two sorted out the house renovation yet? If not, when we return, your mom and I will come take a look!"

Gu Beihuai really had a headache from this, having the designs but no time to shop.

Now with the two mothers offering help, that’s an absolute relief.

Gu Beihuai immediately stated he’d bring back the renovation drawings for them to sort out.

Originally, he wanted to test Gu Beihuai’s opinion on marriage, but now the two mothers started discussing the new home’s layout, noting how it was a courtyard close to both their families.

A place approved by both the mother-in-law and the mother seemed very good to Gu Beihuai, as there wouldn’t be too many conflicts in the future.

He tentatively asked, "Mom, Aunt Lan, what is up with you two?"

Gu Beihuai was still worried about the changes in the two mothers. He’d just gone to confront the old thing and wasn’t aware of what had happened in the ward, but now he realized something must have occurred during his absence.

Mrs. Gu casually waved her hand, "What could it be? Just concerned about your relationship as a couple!"

Madam Tang joined, laughing, "Yes, yes, you two just got your marriage license, and we aren’t worried you two might feel uncomfortable!"

Gu Beihuai remained skeptical, but the two mothers linked arms and left, giving him no chance to ask more questions, leaving him dumbfounded, with Father Tang still present as a last resort.

Although he didn’t hold much affection for Father Tang, there was no one else to ask now.

Father Tang, seeing the cigarette handover, felt Gu Beihuai was perceptive and lit a cigarette, considering advising his son-in-law.

"It’s that Xiaxia said you won’t let her sleep, making her a bit unhappy!"

Gu Beihuai: (⊙_⊙)?
