You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 228 Jealousy

While the Lu family was chatting idly with the Gu family, the Gu family members also gathered together at the head of the Gu family's main residence.

It's a detached house with a courtyard, estimated to be over 200 square meters. The bricks and tiles of the house look very new, suggesting it was renovated in recent years.

It's probably also because of the issue of Gu Yushan getting married.

Looking through the gate, you can see that the yard is filled with seasonal vegetables, and the garden is enclosed by a bamboo fence.

On the other side are stone tables and benches.

At this moment, the Gu family members were all gathered here. Snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, and fruits were placed on the stone table. Gu Yushan and Gu Yumei brought out many long benches and single benches from the house. The family chatted and laughed, and the topic naturally turned to the Lu family.

"This marriage is a good match. Although the Lu family has no elders, his third brother, who is in charge, seems to be a reasonable person." Grandpa Gu was the first to affirm Lu Yuanqing.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he single-handedly raised his entire family and amassed a considerable fortune, and that he was so generous in providing for his sister's wedding, shows that his family was quite well-off.

In this respect, they cannot be simply described as rural people.

It's not that the Gu family cares about this.

Indeed, the Gu family are true city dwellers.

They have all been working and living in the city for generations, and they don't know whether their ancestors were ever from the countryside.

But, as far back as I can remember, they have always lived in the city.

When Gu Yushan said he wanted to marry a country girl, no one in his family could understand it.

The Gu family is prosperous and lives well. When they marry off their daughters and wives, they have no intention of helping others. Marriage between people of similar social standing is their family's view on marriage.

Just like the older brothers and sisters of Gu Yushan, the wives they married were all of similar circumstances.

They may not be extremely wealthy, but at least they will have enough to eat and wear.

This can be guaranteed.

They certainly wouldn't look down on rural people.

Everyone has a daughter, and everyone has a daughter-in-law.

The fact that she still cares about her parents' family is something that can never be changed.

The biggest problem in marriage is the imbalance between the two parties.

When you see your husband's family doing well while your own family is not doing well, you will naturally think about giving your own family some financial assistance.

This is only natural.

Therefore, the Gu family has always attached great importance to marriage.

When Gu Yushan said he wanted to marry a country girl.

The Gu family would naturally be unwilling.

Life is different now, and there will be many more conflicts in the future.

Later, when they heard that Lu Yuanhuan was a college student and had his own job, and was so capable, the elders of the Gu family had no complaints.

They were also quite straightforward people. Since they had already accepted Lu Yuanhuan, they naturally wouldn't make any fools of themselves when they met.

But it was only these two days of meeting and spending time together.

This made the Gu family clearly understand the Lu family's situation.

She has a house, a job, and an education. Her family is reasonable, doesn't hold her back, and can even offer help.

That's why Grandpa Gu himself said that this marriage was a good match.

The old woman smiled and agreed, "Yuan Huan has a good temper and a good personality, he is indeed very good."

Such a good daughter-in-law is hard to find even in the city. Look at Zhang Xiaoya, who almost became her daughter-in-law. She usually seems generous and open, but I never expected her to be a completely different person behind the scenes.

The Lu family dotes on Lu Yuanhuan so much and has prepared such a generous dowry for her. She can't be a wicked mother-in-law. She also thinks that she should treat Lu Yuanhuan even better in the future!

"Hmph, I don't think her niece is anything special!" Gu Yumei pouted and said unhappily.

The two clashed several times in the past two days, and she ended up suffering more losses, so she naturally harbored a lot of resentment.

Gu Yushan sat next to her, shelling peanuts while listening to his family's conversation. Upon hearing Gu Yumei's words, he immediately threw down the peanuts in his hand, grabbed her ear, and said, "It's all because you like to cause trouble. Let me tell you, if your sister-in-law marries into the family and you dare to give her a hard time, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Gu Yushan didn't mind the jokes between Gu Yumei and Lu Mingxi about their daughter, but he wouldn't allow Gu Yumei to have any issues with Lu Yuanhuan because of it, and thus vent the frustrations and anger she suffered at Lu Mingxi on Lu Yuanhuan.

"Ouch, that hurts! Let me go, Mom! Look at you! You haven't even married your wife yet! And you're already lecturing me!" Gu Yumei, being the youngest in the family and spoiled as a child, naturally had a proud temper.

She immediately objected to Gu Yushan's blatant defense of Lu Yuanhuan!

Mother Gu was reasonable. "Your brother is right. You've gone too far these past few days. According to your sister-in-law's seniority at home, Lu Mingxi is your junior. Why are you arguing with her?"

"What do you mean I held a grudge? Didn't you see what she said to me in a sarcastic tone?" Gu Yumei said angrily.

"Didn't you ask for this? Pretend I didn't see it. The first time was when you called her a country bumpkin, and that's when she retaliated!"

Then the two of them acted as if they were mortal enemies from a past life, and when you said something sarcastic to me, I would respond in kind.

Everyone else was polite and harmonious, but those two were like firecrackers, always bickering whenever they met!

"She's just a country bumpkin!" Gu Yumei felt wronged. She hadn't said anything wrong!

"How is she a country bumpkin? She has a job, she works at the railway bureau, and her third uncle even bought her a house. How does she look like a country bumpkin? She's doing much better than you!"

The old father and mother also shook their heads.

Their family seems well-off, but they also have quite a few children. Now that their son is married, there's another child, Gu Yumei. Once all the children are married, they will naturally separate the family.

A tree with many branches is inevitable.

But having many children means that each person will receive less after the family splits up.

In the end, it might not even be as much as what Lu Yuanqing prepared for Lu Mingxi and the others.

A single house is not something they can afford.

Therefore, the Gu family couldn't understand how Gu Yumei developed such a condescending and disdainful attitude.

"Hmph, I see now that you all favor Lu Yuanhuan!"

The eldest brother glared at his youngest sister, annoyed. "What do you see that you understand? Weren't you the one who was looking for trouble? Why are you still upset after being criticized? Let me tell you, you're only doing this because your sister-in-law has a good temper. Otherwise, judging from your behavior, even before she's officially married into the family, she'll already be unhappy with your fourth brother because of you, her sister-in-law!"

Gu Yumei laughed angrily, "What do you mean you're dissatisfied with Fourth Brother because of me? What's wrong with my Fourth Brother? Marrying my Fourth Brother would be the greatest blessing of all!"

"Alright, so it turns out you're jealous! Even I, you're not usually this serious!" Gu Erge gave the answer directly.

The Gu family burst into laughter immediately.

Gu Yumei retorted angrily.

Gu Yushan placed his large hand on the back of her head and said, "Brother will always be brother, what are you afraid of!"

Gu Yumei said awkwardly, "It's just that your sudden marriage makes me a little unaccustomed to it, even though you used to love me the most!"

Gu Yushan curled his lips and said, "From now on, your sister-in-law and I will both pamper you!"

"Hmph!" Gu Yumei pouted, but her eyes were full of laughter.
