Chapter 235 What Can You Do?
No doubt that Wu Xiyuan would be her perfect choice.
He was talented and handsome. How could Guo Lingyi not like him?
Sometimes being too excellent could be a trouble.
"What's reputation to her if she's shameless." said Su Jiuiyue unfriendly.
Hearing this, Liu Cuihua looked at Su Jiuyue in surprise. Her daughter-in-law had always been gentle and never argued with anyone, how come she talked harshly today?
Did she have a problem with this woman?
"Do you know her?" asked Liu Cuihua.
Su Jiuyue nodded, looked at Guo Lingyi sharply and said with anger, "She is the one who harassed Xiyuan before!"
Liu Cuihua frowned and immediately understood that she was the woman who made Jiuyue sad!
Seeing that Guo Lingyi was getting closer, Su Jiuyue turned her face away to ignore Guo Lingyi.
But her ignorance didn't mean that Guo Lingyi would do the same. Guo Lingyi walked up to them and stopped.
"Well, I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance today. Aren't you Xiyuan's wife?"
Lvliu behind Guo Lingyi was a bit anxious. Her lady was punished by Mr. Guo to kneel in the ancestral hall a few days ago, and the reason she could go out today was because that old Mrs. Guo had persuaded Mr. Guo.
But who would expect that they would meet Wu Xiyuan's wife today? Her lady must not let her off lightly.
If Mr. Guo knew that Guo Lingyi found trouble with Su Jiuyue again, he would definitely ground her for a whole year.
Thinking of this, she slightly pulled Guo Lingyi's sleeve to stop her.
But Guo Lingyi just ignored Lv Liu. So Lvliu hurriedly called her softly, "My lady..."
Guo Lingyi thought that she would lose face if she backed down today. And thinking the way that Wu Xiyuan told her off to her father, she was angrier.
She pulled her sleeve back and stared at Lvliu, implying Lvliu to give it a rest.
Seeing Guo Lingyi was standing before her, Su Jiuyue knew that Guo was without good intention, so she got out of the carriage and stood straight. She was still young but was much taller than before. However, she was not as tall as Guo Lingyi.
Thinking that she couldn't look inferior, Su Jiuyue straightened up.
Besides, Wu Xiyuan was her husband, and he had rejected Guo Lingyi clearly. How could Guo Lingyi compete with her?
Thinking of this, she raised her chin a bit higher, looking like a proud cock.
But when she was about to speak, suddenly someone stretched out and pulled her behind.
Seeing the figure standing in front of her, she was stunned for a moment and then felt incredibly warm.
It was her mother-in-law. Liu Cuihua stood with hands on her hips and looked at Guo Lingyi threateningly. "Who are you? Jiuyue is too young to speak to a stranger."
Looking at the woman suddenly came out, Guo Lingyi was stunned, because she hadn't seen this woman before.
But since she protected Su Jiuyue like this, maybe she was Su Jiuyue's mom. Guo Lingyi thought.
"You don't have to know who I am, all you need to know is that I must have your son-in-law!" said Guo Lingyi. Her face was distorted with pride, and her image was completely gone.
At this time, Liu Cuihua was stunned, she knew that Guo Lingyi misunderstood and thought that she was Su Jiuyue's mother.
Surely, Liu Cuihua would not be scared by such a young woman. In her heart, it was impossible for an arrogant girl like Guo Lingyi to marry her son. Didn't she know that she was not good enough to be her daughter-in-law?
Liu Cuihua snorted. "You want to marry my son? Ask me first!"
This time, Guo Lingyi was confused. Wu Xiyuan was her son?
Then...
Could it be that she was Wu Xiyuan's mother?!
Su Jiuyue watched Guo Lingyi changed facial expression for an instant, who suddenly returned to be the elegant lady with a smile and looked demure and grace.
If Su Jiuyue hadn't seen her being furious just now, she would have thought that there were two of them!
"You are Xiyuan's mother! Why didn't you tell me before? It will take a while before Xiyuan gets out of class! Do you want to have a rest in my house?" Guo Lingyi said kindly with a big smile on her face. For people didn't know, they would think that Liu Cuihua was Guo Lingyi's relative who had been missing for many years!
Liu Cuihua was surprised that Guo Lingyi changed her attitude that quick, but she still looked serious.
This woman wanted to sabotage the relationship between her son and her daughter-in-law, how could she do nothing about it?
She must teach this woman a lesson for her daughter-in-law, so that the woman could give up on Xiyuan.
"Did you just say that you want to marry my son? Are you falling in love with him?"
Liu Cuihua didn't beat about the bush and just asked bluntly.
Guo Lingyi was from a scholarly family, and scholars liked to say things vaguely, but she was different.
However, she found that Wu Xiyuan's mother was more straight-forward than her, and the question didn't give her any leeway.
On the second thought, Guo Lingyi believed that with her knowledge and family background, she would be way out of Wu Xiyuan's league.
With the guidance and help of her family, wasn't it much better than just marrying a village girl whose solely advantage was a pretty face?
Thinking like that, Guo Lingyi felt confident.
She believed that if she could obtain Liu Cuihua's consent, Wu Xiyuan would apologize to her one day.
Marriage was just decisions of parents and words of matchmakers. If Liu Cuihua agreed, it would be useless if he rejected.
So, she looked at Liu Cuihua and nodded. "Yes."
Liu Cuihua didn't expect that Guo Lingyi could just admit it directly, and it was difficult for her to believe that city women were so shameless and could just hook up with married man without worrying nothing.
She looked down upon Guo Lingyi in her heart, but just asked her a few questions casually, "How many acres of land can you cultivate and how many bags of flour can you grind every day? Can you make breakfast before 5 o'clock in the morning?
Hearing these words, Guo Lingyi widen her eyes.
She could understand every word Liu Cuihua just said, but she couldn't comprehend the sentences.
Cultivating lands? Grinding flour? No one had said those words to her in her whole life, and she absolutely didn't know how to do these things.
Even cooking, she only did it once in a while. But Liu Cuihua wanted the breakfast to be ready before 5 o'clock in the morning? Wasn't she just being fastidious?
Originally, Su Jiuyue was worried that her mother-in-law would change sides, but after hearing her words, she immediately understood.
Her mother-in-law was taking it out on Guo Lingyi for her!
She couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't want Guo Lingyi to find out, so she quietly turned her face away.
Her mother-in-law had never asked her to cultivate land and grind flour!
"I... I don't know any of these..." Guo Lingyi was so embarrassed.
