Gu Qingyao almost burst out laughing at her smug expression.
But she controlled herself. She had no choice but to maintain a low profile!
Gu Qingyao beamed broadly. “I heard you’ve made a match. He’s from the town and comes from a rich family?”
Sun Mei hesitated. She had not expected Gu Qingyao to be so indifferent. She immediately felt rather resentful!
“That’s right! His family is very rich, and they all work in factories. His parents hold important leadership positions, and he himself earns a high wage.”
Sun Mei’s smile and pride were sincere. At the moment, she was truly elated!
Gu Qingyao looked at her without a word.
Behind her, Chen Honghua laughed. “Didn’t expect that, did you, Gu Qingyao? Sun Mei has made such a good match. You will never have such a chance in your lifetime. In the future, you can only bustle around with that crowd of children from the Mo family. Hehehe! What does it feel like to be a stepmother at such a young age?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Even if you wanted to be a stepmother like me, you won’t have the chance!”
“You…” Chen Honghua’s expression changed.
Gu Qingyao did not quibble with these people. She hoped that Sun Mei would quickly marry Wang Jie and leave the area.
When she arrived at the Mo house, the Mo children were all there. Mu Mu and the younger ones were practicing their writing while Jiang Xun was stacking firewood. When the youth saw Gu Qingyao, he smiled immediately. “Young Aunt!”
Gu Qingyao smiled in response. “Jiang Xun, where are the others?”
“They’re in the house! They can’t be bothered to come out because it’s so cold. Grandma, Mu Mu! Young Aunt is here!”
Jiang Xun clapped and shouted in the direction of the house.
When he heard that, Mu Mu immediately charged out of the house and rushed straight for Gu Qingyao.
“Young Aunt!”
This little fellow’s voice was so sweet.
Gu Qingyao was delighted. Seeing this smart and adorable little boy always put her in a good mood.
Mu Mu rushed over and Gu Qingyao reached out to pick him up. The little boy immediately hugged Gu Qingyao around her neck and smiled sweetly.
This little fellow really treated her like his mother.
“Have you been obedient? Have you been studying diligently?”
Gu Qingyao asked as she carried Mu Mu towards Jiang Yingqiu’s room.
Mu Mu immediately nodded his small head and looked very obedient!
“I’m very obedient and I’ve been studying diligently. Every day, I do the homework that Young Uncle left me.”
This child was intelligent and mature and the adults did not need to worry about him. He was so lovable.
Actually, whether they were rich or poor, most people were unwilling to care for other people’s children.
After all, raising a child was not just a matter of providing food. There were many other things to worry about.
This was even more true of this group of children from the Mo family.
But if the children were intelligent, mature and lovable, that was a different matter. It made it easier to accept them.
At present, Gu Qingyao was growing increasingly close to the children.
She carried Mu Mu and entered Jiang Yingqiu’s room. Jiang Yingqiu was just getting out of bed and putting on her shoes.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Aunt, don’t get up. Just lie in bed. There’s nothing much to do anyway. You need to take care of your health!”
Jiang Yingqiu had been over-exhausted when she was younger, which caused her to be sickly. She would not recover so easily.
When Jiang Yingqiu saw her enter, she sat by the side of the bed and smiled. “I’m already much better. I’ve taken so many of your medicines over the past year. I feel that my health has improved greatly.”
