Chapter 93: A Vain Woman

After hearing what Aunt Wang said, Aunt Yang was furious. She pointed at Aunt Wang and started to curse: "What a blood-sucking woman! You are a shrew who can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. How dare you say that my son is not good?!"

They were all people from the town. When they heard the noise, they all gathered around to join in the fun. You know, the Yang family was notoriously patriarchal in the town. They gave birth to five daughters just for one son. They didn't even allow their five daughters to go to high school, but they supported their son to repeat his senior year for three years before he could go to college.

Last year, Aunt Yang's son finally graduated from college. She boasted every day that her beloved son had an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan. Her five daughters also saved money to buy a house for their younger brother in the city, hoping to find a wife for her son so that they could have grandchildren.

Even though everyone was envious and flattering on the surface, in fact, they knew clearly in their hearts that if a family treated their daughter as a human being, they would not marry her!

How could Aunt Yang bear Aunt Wang's scolding?

Aunt Wang suddenly shouted, "Hey, why are you so angry? You've been complaining about your Yaozu all day long, so why don't you let others talk about it?"

Aunt Yang was so angry that she rushed over to hit someone, but was stopped by the onlookers nearby, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's just a few words, there's no need to fight!"

"Yes, we are all neighbors. We will see each other sooner or later."

"Forget it."

Aunt Yang gnashed her teeth and said, "Wang Ruohua, how did I offend you? Why do you say this about my son?"

The people on the side coaxed Aunt Wang, "Ruohua, it's not right for you to say that. How can you say that about someone? Apologize to them right now!"

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and said, "You don't allow people to talk about your own precious son, but you spend all day chewing on other people's affairs."

When the people around heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears, all of them curious, who is Aunt Yang gossiping about again? Lin Ting? That shouldn't be the case. Lin Ting receives scholarships every year and is a future college student that the town has high hopes for. It's obvious that he has more potential than Yang Yaozu!

Aunt Yang looked unhappy. "I didn't say anything about your Lin Ting. Why are you so anxious?"

The onlookers became even more curious. If it wasn't about Lin Ting, then why was Aunt Wang so anxious?

Aunt Wang snorted twice, "I'm telling you! Xiao Gu was raised by my husband Lin and I. She's considered a half-daughter. She's smart and pretty, and she graduated from a key university. Your family can't marry someone like her. After all, your son's university is so crappy that he can't even reach Xiao Gu's feet!"

Hearing this, Gu Xingzhao was stunned for a long while. Was Aunt Wang venting her anger on him?

Everyone in the town knows about Aunt Yang's gossip. There is no family that has not been gossiped about. Gu Xingzhao guessed that Aunt Yang would gossip with others after leaving the supermarket, so he didn't take it seriously. However, he didn't expect that Aunt Wang would quarrel with Aunt Yang because of him and they almost got into a fight.

Everyone suddenly realized that it was because of Gu Xingzhao, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gu Xingzhao.

I heard that Gu Chengzhang came here with his wife and stepson a few days ago, but no one knew what they came for. Everyone was curious, but it was not easy to ask around.

Gu Xingzhao walked forward a few steps, approached the crowd, and spoke loudly: "It turns out that Aunt Yang is afraid that her son will marry a wife like me."

Aunt Yang's face looked a little ugly. It was nothing to gossip behind someone's back, but it was another matter if the person himself knew about it.

"Don't misunderstand, Xiao Gu. I just said a few words casually. Look, your Aunt Wang misunderstood me."

Gu Xingzhao had a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Aunt Yang. A girl like me is vain and unrealistic. When choosing a partner, I only look at money and looks. I will never let your son marry her. Don't worry, Aunt Yang!"

"puff--"

I don't know who it was, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Aunt Wang almost burst out laughing. Look, little Gu is so good at talking. He even cares about the face of the elders!

Aunt Yang felt strange when she heard this, but she was satisfied because she was being complimented. She glanced at Aunt Wang with pride and said to Gu Xingzhao, "Little Gu, you don't have to say that. If you see someone good one day, I'll introduce him to you."

The people around looked at each other and found that Aunt Yang didn't understand the meaning of the other person's words. They laughed in their hearts, but no one bothered to remind her at this time.

Gu Xingzhao smiled and said, "How can I trouble you with my affairs?"

Feeling that she had saved her face, Aunt Yang picked up her things, snorted at Aunt Wang, and turned away.

The people behind then started laughing.

Aunt Wang waved at Gu Xingzhao, indicating her to go back to the supermarket.

Gu Xingzhao's lips curled up and his heart felt warm. It was such a good feeling to be loved and protected by others.

That night, when Aunt Yang told her son about what happened today, Yang Yaozu's face turned black.

The husband frowned and said, "Go out less in the future and stop talking about your son to others all day long."

Aunt Yang smiled as she picked up some food for her son. She was very dissatisfied with her husband's words. "Our son is so successful. People envy him. I don't know how many people in the town want to become our in-laws."

"Don't worry, son. Mom will choose for you. I will definitely find you a filial and sensible one."

Yang Yaozu was so angry that he lost his appetite. He threw his bowl on the table and lost his temper, "Why are you so picky! Mom, people scold me for being poor and you think they are praising me!?"

Aunt Yang: "???"

Yang Yaozu was so angry that he slammed the door and left.

The husband sighed, "You, you didn't even understand what they said, and you thought they were praising your son."

Aunt Yang realized later that what Gu Xingzhao had said during the day was actually a roundabout way of scolding her for her poor family and ugly son, while she was still so complacent.

She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

At night, there were fewer customers in the supermarket. Gu Xingzhao sat at the cashier counter and scrolled through his circle of friends. He found that several of his classmates had gotten married. Two of them even showed their family photos and had a second child.

She felt envious, it was great, the whole family was together, how happy.

Looking at the smiling faces in the family photo, Gu Xingzhao felt a little moved and thought that maybe he should find a partner and have his own family.

But just as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly remembered that these people often posted sad essays about their post-marriage lives on their WeChat Moments.

All of a sudden, she thought of her scumbag father and irresponsible mother, and immediately shook her head, shattering the idea of ​​finding a partner.

"Gu Xingzhao, ah Gu Xingzhao, you can't be so pessimistic. A partner is not as good as making money. A man and children may let you down, but money won't."

Just then, a car stopped outside the supermarket. The man got out of the car, pulled his suit against the cold wind, and walked slowly into the supermarket. His eyes were fixed on the woman who was lowering her head at the checkout counter, and he snorted in his heart.

He wanted to see what kind of woman she was. How dare she look down on him for running a shabby supermarket?

Yang Yaozu walked into the store and took a look around. He noticed that a bag of chicken feet cost thirteen yuan. He frowned and muttered to himself: The convenience store in the city only costs ten yuan. Why don't they just buy it directly when the price is so high?

She is indeed a vain woman.
