Ch 16: He Came In While She Was Changing Clothes
Even if it’s a honeymoon, nowadays, rural marriages will go to the city for a trip. Although the marriage is rushed, it can’t be too simple.
In order to create a world for two, Tian Shufang told Nannan about the matter last night.
Nannan is very sensible. Knowing it was for Shen Mingyue’s good, she agreed without a word.
Seeing his parents leave, Gu Yuanyang approached his second brother.
“Brother, you and your sister-in-law last night…”
Gu Yuanyang couldn’t imagine that his second brother, who was not close to women in his mind, would have a relationship with Shen Mingyue.
It felt very inexplicable. They had only met a few times, and the progress was so fast, it was like a dream.
At the thought that his second brother might have been ruined by that woman, Gu Yuanyang felt uncomfortable.
Hearing Gu Yuanyang ask this, Gu Yuanzhou subconsciously frowned.
“This is not something you should worry about. Go to work quickly.”
Gu Yuanyang didn’t dare to say anything more and silently went out.
Gu Yuanzhou saw that it was not too early and planned to call Shen Mingyue up for breakfast.
Although his family might misunderstand that they did something last night, Gu Yuanzhou knew in his heart that they didn’t do anything at all, they just kissed clumsily.
Gu Yuanzhou thought Shen Mingyue was still sleeping, so he didn’t knock on the door when he entered the room. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Shen Mingyue standing naked in front of the closet getting clothes, with her nightgown beside her.
Although Shen Mingyue quickly crossed her arms, Gu Yuanzhou still saw it.
Yes, big and round.
“Sorry, I thought you were still sleeping.”
Gu Yuanzhou hurriedly retreated, somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Mingyue blushed and thought that as long as they weren’t blind, they should have seen it. This man really knows how to pick the timing, he had to come in while she was changing clothes.
After quickly changing her clothes, Shen Mingyue bit her lip and then left the room.
Forget it, she didn’t have the right to blame Gu Yuanzhou, after all, she had just done that kind of thing last night.
It’s even now, neither of them can say anything about the other.
“Let’s eat first, Mom left you some dishes.”
Gu Yuanzhou used his index finger to rub his nose and said.
Shen Mingyue responded and went straight to the kitchen.
After a simple meal, Gu Yuanzhou spoke again.
“My parents asked me to take you out for a walk. Because I’m quite busy with work, and the honeymoon is only four days, so I can’t take you out of town. Let’s just have a walk around here, okay?”
Shen Mingyue didn’t think there was anything wrong. Some of her friends in the future got married without even having a honeymoon, let alone now.
She now has more than 800 yuan in her pocket, and she also wants to go out and see what the business situation is like.
I heard that the 1980s were full of gold, and at this turning point, even pigs could fly.
Shen Mingyue loves money too much. Without money, there is no sense of security, so she must make money.
“Okay, are we leaving now?”
“Mm.”
“Wait for me, I’ll tidy up.”
Shen Mingyue planned to wash her hair before going out.
Gu Yuanzhou was quite patient. While Shen Mingyue was washing up, he sat on the sofa reading a newspaper.
After Shen Mingyue was done, the two went out.
This time, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t drive; he rode a bicycle.
Shen Mingyue sat sideways behind him and, after thinking for a while, grabbed the edge of his clothes.
The family courtyard was lively at this moment. Although the young people were all at work, the old men and women had nothing to do, so they gathered together, sitting under the trees chatting.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou riding a bicycle with his new daughter-in-law, everyone couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
After the two walked away, they began to discuss.
“Gu family’s second son is such a pity, marrying such a wife.”
“Who says it’s not? I’ve never heard of a brother dying and marrying his sister-in-law, it’s quite a new thing.”
An old lady was eating sunflower seeds, her expression exaggerated.
“You don’t know, yesterday I saw Song family’s daughter, crying her eyes out, she looked so pitiful.”
Speaking of Song Xue, everyone got even more excited. Who didn’t know that this girl liked Gu Yuanzhou and had pursued him for several years? In the end, Gu Yuanzhou got married so carelessly, anyone would be unhappy.
“Who says it’s not, she’s been delayed, this Shen Mingyue, apart from her looks, is really not presentable in any other way.”
Everyone talked about Shen Mingyue, making her sound worthless.
Gu Yuanzhou planned to first take Shen Mingyue to see the local famous attractions. Halfway there, Shen Mingyue said she didn’t want to go to the attractions; she wanted to go to the department store.
Gu Yuanzhou thought she wanted to buy something, so he didn’t ask any further questions and went directly to the department store.
When they arrived, Shen Mingyue excitedly went in to browse.
Gu Yuanzhou thought she would buy something and was ready to check out.
But Shen Mingyue only looked and didn’t buy anything; she had been strolling for a while, without a single thing in her hand.
Gu Yuanzhou thought she was reluctant to spend money, “Is there anything you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
Shen Mingyue had forgotten Gu Yuanzhou; only when he spoke did she realize that the man was still there.
“No, I’m just looking.”
Shen Mingyue wanted to start a business and see what could make money now.
Of course, in the early stages, she could only do a small business, because she didn’t have much funds.
The two strolled from the first floor to the fourth floor. After leaving the shopping mall, Shen Mingyue walked around the nearby commercial street.
Gu Yuanzhou also saw something and asked in a low voice: “You seem very interested in these shops? Do you have any ideas?”
Shen Mingyue didn’t hide it and nodded immediately.
“I want to start a small business; I came out today to scout the location.”
Hearing this answer, Gu Yuanzhou was clearly surprised and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Let alone that Shen Mingyue is pregnant and should focus on her health. Secondly, she grew up in the countryside, and her education is lacking; doing business requires brains. It’s a bit unrealistic for Shen Mingyue to think about these things just after arriving.
Besides, individual business owners will be looked down upon now, and street vendors are no different from farmers in everyone’s eyes.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t look down on individual business owners; he mainly thought Shen Mingyue didn’t need to work so hard.
“Doing business is very tiring. Let alone having to have sources of goods and experience, your family probably won’t agree either.”
The Gu family is a large family, and their parents are quite old-fashioned, they certainly wouldn’t want Shen Mingyue to be an individual business owner.
Their daughter-in-law is setting up a street stall right after getting married, what will the people in the compound say behind their backs?
“Why wouldn’t they agree? There’s nothing wrong with me earning money with my own hands. Although I’m pregnant now, it’s still early, it doesn’t affect my activities. I can’t rely on your family forever, eating and drinking from you, what would that look like?”
Shen Mingyue’s expression became serious; she would rather not be a parasite.
Many people in the Gu family already looked down on her, if she didn’t earn money, she would be even more unable to hold her head up.
