MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 525 flat transfer
Tai Geer led them out of the house and slipped out to play in the garden. A large number of servants followed, so there were only a few adults left in the main room.
Du Jingyi sat next to Du Jingxiang, not wanting to be separated from her sister for a moment.
Although the two sisters have not seen each other for many years, they still have endless things to say when they are together. However, it is rare for Gu Shaoyu to see his wife so happy, so a faint smile appears on his face.
“How have you been living in Pingzhou these years?”
“Everything is fine. My parents-in-law are caring and considerate. Your brother-in-law treats me the same way.”
When he said this, Du Jingxiang was sincere, but he did not say it completely. Du Jingyi and she have been sisters for many years, so they knew without asking that there must be something to hide.
So he asked.
“What about my brother-in-law? How is his career going?”
This sentence pointedly asked what was causing Du Jingxiang's embarrassment. As expected, her face didn't look good.
Facing Gu Shaoyu, she felt a little embarrassed to say anything. Instead, Gu Shaoyu spoke to comfort her.
“Sister, there is no need to worry about me, just say so.”
Seeing this, Du Jingxiang sighed and told all the difficulties he had faced in the past few years.
"In the early years, my husband was recommended by the general and went to the Salt Transportation Department. It was Prime Minister Guo who took the lead in handling major cases. It was very prosperous, but you also know that he is very cautious, so he always He can't let go, so in the past few years, among his colleagues who have worked with him, he has been promoted and transferred, but he is the only one who is still spinning around, so he is somewhat discouraged."
"Originally, my parents-in-law wanted to gain some connections and help him earn a higher position, but you also know that the He family is an ordinary family, so they squandered money without any results. Therefore, your brother-in-law has been... It’s quite incompetent.”
Hearing this, the three members of the Du family frowned. Such words should not be said in front of Gu Shaoyu. I wonder if they thought they were jointly trying to put pressure on him and help this "not very effective" person. My eldest brother-in-law.
So, Mr. Du glanced at his eldest daughter, and Du Jingxiang reacted quickly and said.
“It’s all trivial matters, let’s not talk about them…”
Before she finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu took over the words and analyzed them concisely.
"I didn't think carefully. When I recommended my brother-in-law to go to the Salt Transportation Department, I thought that the matter was done and the future was promising. But I also forgot that no one who can go in to handle this important case would be thinking about moving forward. In contrast, my brother-in-law naturally seems to be a little withdrawn. According to his temperament, if he stays in a place like Yanyunsi again, I am afraid he will become more and more depressed. I will go and talk to Grandpa Guo tomorrow. Let’s see if there are any other suitable seats in Pingzhou, and just transfer there.”
Gu Shaoyu’s words solved the knot that Du Jingxiang and his wife had been feeling for many years.
But at the same time, Du Jingxiang was very embarrassed and said with a blushing face.
"General, you misunderstood. I really didn't mean it like this. You have just come out of your filial piety period and you are going to trouble Prime Minister Guo about our affairs. It's not good. You...just pretend that I haven't said anything about it. Your husband has his own problems." Whether his life goes up or down is also his business, there is no need for you to ask for help like this."
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said in an extremely relaxed tone.
"It's just an ordinary job. Sister, don't worry. He's just going to a place that is more suitable for his temperament. As for whether he will be promoted or demoted in the future, as Sister said, he has his own destiny and I will not interfere at will."
His words made several people present breathe a sigh of relief.
Outside, they tried their best not to trouble Gu Shaoyu. They were afraid of being criticized and afraid of embarrassing their daughter. But seeing their eldest daughter's family struggling in the quagmire, it would be unreasonable for them not to help them. . Therefore, Mr. Du immediately expressed his opinion.
“Second uncle, I’ve taken the trouble.”
On the contrary, when Gu Shaoyu heard this, he replied with a straight face.
"When my father-in-law said this, wouldn't he be out of touch with me? If today I was not the uncle of this family, but the son of this family, helping my brothers and sisters, would you still say this? Sister, would you still do this? Excuse me?"
His words gave Mr. Du and Mrs. Du no room to reply.
"Not to mention that we are a family, and we should help each other. Even if we have to settle accounts, how little have you helped me and my wife in these years? We have been tossing and turning, traveling south and north several times. At home, Whenever there is a big or small problem, you come to help me. I didn’t say anything like this at that time. It was because I knew that you loved the younger generation, so I happily accepted it. Therefore, these three or two sentences today, if it were my father-in-law, Mother-in-law and sister-in-law should always remember me, and as I told you, I will not eat at the family banquet today, and I will not take away the half-grown men in the yard, they will stay here. , make trouble for you two elders."
He sounded a bit "threatening" at the end, but when the Du family heard this, their hearts were as sweet as honey.
They have no sons, but the son-in-law in front of them sincerely takes care of them as their parents. So as he said, if the whole family has to thank each other, how can they survive?
So when it comes to this, Mr. Du also patted his knee and said something rare.
"Okay, since the second uncle said this, let's not talk nonsense. As a family, we will not talk about the two families, and we will live a harmonious and beautiful life from now on."
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu made a rare joke and said.
“That’s right, there’s a big official in the family, why don’t you keep him? Right, sister.”
One sentence actually made the atmosphere lively.
After seeing the true happiness in Du Jingxiang's eyes, Du Jingyi felt a lot more relieved, so when he looked at his husband, he also looked happy.
After complaining about the bitterness, it is natural to say something sweet.
The whole family has not seen each other for several years, which means there are endless things to talk about about the children, let alone other things and people.
“Sister, you still remember Ping’er, right?”
“Of course, I was still a young man at that time, but now I am afraid I am a man of seven or eight feet.”
"That's right. I married a daughter-in-law and succeeded to the position of Duke of the country. Now I am waiting for the birth of my child."
“Is he going to have a baby?”
“Who says it’s not?”
After hearing this, Du Jingxiang couldn't help but laugh.
“Then you and your wife are getting a lot of money. How old are you? You will be the sixth grandfather and sixth grandmother.”
Her funny words also made Du Jingyi laugh non-stop, and the whole family talked harmoniously all morning.
