Ch 95: Taking Mother Back To The Village For A Divorce!
Shen Mingyue comfortably narrowed her eyes, murmuring indistinctly.
“You should go to bed early too, and keep me company.”
Her tone was somewhat coquettish.
Gu Yuanzhou found this very pleasing. He had originally planned to read the newspaper for a while longer, but hearing his wife say this, he went straight to bed.
After getting into bed, he even hugged Shen Mingyue from behind. Before, Gu Yuanzhou’s hands were very honest; even when hugging her to sleep, he would only put his hands on Shen Mingyue’s waist.
But now it was different. His hands seemed to have automatic navigation, and in a short while, they slid from her waist to above.
Shen Mingyue’s heart pounded, and she slapped Gu Yuanzhou’s hand hard.
“Are you going to sleep or not?”
Gu Yuanzhou chuckled softly and put his hand back on her waist.
“Sleep.”
Before returning, Gu Yuanzhou had already called his leader, and the leader readily approved his leave.
Gu Yuanzhou’s marriage was rushed; he probably didn’t even have time to hold a grand wedding at his wife’s family home. Now, accompanying his wife back to the countryside to see her parents-in-law is also reasonable.
Early in the morning, Shen Mingyue and they left home.
Gu Yuanzhou drove, Shen Mingyue sat in the passenger seat, and the two guards and Wang Cuie sat in the back.
Before setting off, everyone specially went to a breakfast stall to have breakfast.
Driving back from the city takes six or seven hours. They arrived at Shenjia Village just in time for lunch.
On the way, Shen Mingyue wanted to drive for two hours to give Gu Yuanzhou a break, but he refused.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired.”
Wang Cuie, sitting in the back, was somewhat reserved, and her whole being was burdened with worries. Thinking about seeing Shen Fuzhu after returning home, she felt very resistant.
She was living very well in the Gu family. Except for being bullied by Tian Shumei at the beginning, everyone else was very good to her.
Over this period, she had gotten used to this life. Compared to the countryside, it was a world apart.
Shen Mingyue, with her delicate mind, noticed her mother’s anxiety and comforted her with a few words.
Wang Cuie quickly reacted too. With her daughter and son-in-law backing her up, and two young men to help, what did she have to be afraid of?
A little after 1 p.m., the five of them arrived at the entrance of Shenjia Village.
The corn is currently growing well. Villagers go to the fields to weed during the day, return home for lunch, take a short nap after lunch, and then continue working in the afternoon.
This was the time when everyone finished their farm work and went home for lunch, so there were many people on the road.
Nowadays, let alone cars, even bicycles are rare. If a family in the village could have a bicycle, they would be envied by countless people.
So, when everyone saw the car, they widened their eyes.
After all, the last time a car came to the village was when Gu Hongbin was taken away.
This time, they wondered whose it was.
The villagers were curious and followed behind. Some even chased after the car to smell the exhaust fumes.
The Shen family lived in a small alley. The car couldn’t drive in, so it had to stop at the alley entrance.
When Shen Mingyue and they got out of the car, the villagers were shocked.
They never imagined that Shen Mingyue was now riding in a car. They knew she had remarried in the city, but they had also privately discussed that she would surely have a bad outcome.
Unexpectedly, she returned so radiant, and she seemed to be quite valued. Seeing the extraordinary man beside her, they were even more speechless.
“My goodness, isn’t this young man the man Shen Mingyue remarried? He really looks extraordinary.”
“Who says not? That old woman’s mouth, she said Shen Mingyue married there to be a maid, but it doesn’t look like it.”
The old woman at the entrance was naturally Shen Mingyue’s former mother-in-law. After Shen Mingyue and Nannan were taken away by the Gu family, she had often gossiped behind their backs.
She implied that Shen Mingyue was not having good days. The city was not that easy to get along in; besides having children and offering some value, there was nothing else.
In the Gu family, she was surely only there to have children, wash clothes, cook, and do chores, no different from their home.
Everyone thought that was the case. Gu Hongbin had played a good game of abacus, but he didn’t use his brain to think; after all, he had been away from home for a long time, how much affection did his family have for him?
His two younger brothers grew up in a pampered environment. They were all talented men. Why marry his cast-off second-hand goods?
Even if he was forced to marry her, he certainly wouldn’t be happy about it.
But this scene dispelled everyone’s assumptions.
Shen Mingyue was dressed brightly and beautifully. The pair of handmade small leather shoes on her feet probably cost over a hundred yuan, not to mention the watch on her wrist.
It really is “clothes make the man,” and she looked completely different immediately.
They didn’t dare to talk to Gu Yuanzhou and they, but Wang Cuie was an old acquaintance, so several aunts enthusiastically greeted her and asked questions.
“Cuie, you’re finally back. Your husband was so worried, always talking about you. By the way, you should introduce this gentleman. Is he your son-in-law?”
When Wang Cuie arrived at her house entrance, she felt even more upset. However, she had always been good-tempered and never frowned at people. Hearing everyone’s questions, she managed to squeeze out a smile and introduced Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou was naturally graceful and courteous, smiling as he greeted everyone. Not only the young daughters-in-law nearby, but even several older aunts blushed.
Oh my, how this young man looks like a god! He’s so handsome.
After a brief exchange, Shen Mingyue led Wang Cuie towards home.
The people behind them still hadn’t left; they wanted to join in the excitement.
Shen Fuzhu had been muttering in the village recently, saying that Wang Cuie had been itching for so long without returning, and that she probably thought the city was good and wanted to stay there.
When she returned, he would definitely give her a good beating.
Now that Wang Cuie was back, and with her daughter and son-in-law, would Shen Fuzhu still hit her? It would certainly be chaotic and exciting.
The Shen family didn’t have a gate; the courtyard wall was made of loess, and the gate was a simple wooden fence. Inside were several dilapidated houses, and the roofs were overgrown with weeds.
One could tell how poor they were from the outside.
Shen Mingyue entered the courtyard first. At this time, the Shen family members were sitting under a big tree in the courtyard enjoying the shade, a family of several people crowded together.
The moment they saw Shen Mingyue enter, they were all stunned.
After all, no matter how beautiful Shen Mingyue was before, she always looked poor. Her clothes were always patched, and her hair was dull.
Now, she was dressed so richly, and her skin was fair and delicate, clearly a city person.
Shen Mingyan immediately turned red-eyed, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Shen Mingyue, cursing.
“You wicked Shen Mingyue, you hid Mother, didn’t you? You didn’t let her come back? What are you up to?”
Shen Fuzhu was originally inside the house. Hearing the commotion, he ran into the courtyard without even putting on his shoes, barefoot.
By this time, Wang Cuie and they had already come in.
Shen Fuzhu only had eyes for Wang Cuie.
Seeing her standing there in new clothes, he was furious.
