175 Chapter 175 Disapproved
When she thought of her future child, she also remembered the child’s father, Gu Chengrui. She realized he was still in her interspace and wondered how the test was going.
She rushed home, tied Er Zhuang up, and entered her interspace after locking up.
...She saw Gu Chengrui coming down from the laboratory on the second floor and quickly asked, “How is it? Did you find out what poison it is?”
“No, I can only confirm that the effect of this poison is similar to that of opium; they both ruin the body and corrode nerves.
“I must go to Doctor Luo to see if he knows what it is.
“Also, don’t wait for me tonight. I’ll just stay over in the clinic or our restaurant.”
“That’s fine. You should go early, then.” Zhou Ying said as she took him out of her interspace.
Gu Chengrui left with his first aid kit, while Zhou Ying returned to her interspace and started making clothes for the next spring and summer. After all, she wouldn’t have the time when they opened for business soon.
On the other hand, Chunhong had just returned from Gu Zishan’s place, who was Gu Chengye’s biological sister. When she heard that her mother, Widow Hua, was looking for a matchmaker to match her and Tian Jiawang, she immediately rushed in. “Mother, if you want to marry him, you can do it yourself. I don’t want to marry a man whose wife died.”
“How can you say that? This isn’t what I taught you.” Widow Hua angrily scolded her.
She glared at her, signaling for her to restrain herself. However, Chunhong didn’t want to marry Tian Jiawang, so she continued, “It’s true, and it’s not like I can’t get married. Why should I marry someone whose wife died?
“What if he’s a jinx? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll die?”
“You!” As Widow Hua was about to say something, the matchmaker immediately smiled and said, “Um, I think we should just forget about this. Mr. Tian has no shortage of attractive women pursuing him.”
After saying that, she glanced at Chunhong with a sneer and hurriedly left.
“Hey, sister, don’t go.” Seeing this, Widow Hua knew this was bad and immediately wanted to chase after her.
Chunhong immediately stopped her. “Mother, why are you chasing after her? I already said I don’t want to marry Tian Jiawang.”
“You shut up. Do you know why I haven’t remarried in many years and have worked hard to maintain a good reputation? I want to leave a nice impression on us and find you a good family to marry into!
“But look at you! Do you know that your reputation has been ruined just because of those words you said?
“If she were to spread those around, how would you find a husband in the future?” At this point, Widow Hua’s face grew stern.”You’re not allowed to go near the Gu family anymore. Based on Mrs. Liu’s difficult personality, I won’t let you marry into their family.”
“I’m marrying Brother Chengye, not Mrs. Liu.”
“Don’t you know what happened to Zhou Ying?”
“That’s because she isn’t Mrs. Liu’s real daughter-in-law. Besides, I’m not like Zhou Ying, that pushy, meek girl.”
“You! If she doesn’t like you, it’ll be easier for her to bully you as your real mother-in-law!
“Besides, Gu Chengye doesn’t have anything. He’s judged guilty by the emperor’s court, so what’s good about that?” At this point, Widow Hua paused for a moment before she patiently advised, “Tian Jiawang is different. He now has a stable job and no in-laws or children. You can hold the reins of the family once you marry him.
“I’ll help you in the future, and you’ll have a good life.”
Chunhong glared at her after hearing her belittle Gu Chengye and asked, “Did the widow of the Tian family ask about me? I knew nothing good would come out of her visits, and you better lessen your contact with her in the future.”
Widow Hua saw that her daughter still hadn’t listened to a single word she said and got anxious. She directly ordered, “You’re rebelling against me? No matter what, I won’t allow you to marry Gu Chengye!”
