Gu Beihuai’s words reminded Tang Chuxia that she also knew Wu Siyuan couldn’t be that fragile.
"Forget it, let’s not worry about their issues, but what do you make of these docunts?"
Tang Chuxia was more concerned about the docunts in her hands, and Gu Beihuai said, "I’ll take these docunts with , just to make ands!"
As for what wrongs and what rits, Tang Chuxia didn’t ask further; anyway, Gu Beihuai would handle it well.
Having dealt with this matter, Tang Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief. She rembered Wu Haipeng’s situation, and combining it with Wu Yue’s issue, "Could Wu Yue and Uncle Wu be from the sa family?"
That was quite a leap of thought, Gu Beihuai remarked, "There are so many with the Wu surna in the world, you really do have an imagination, do you think the political review is just for show?"
Tang Chuxia laughed foolishly.
She genuinely hadn’t thought that much.
Speaking of Wu Haipeng, Tang Chuxia wondered how Dangdang was doing with the kids recently, as she hadn’t seen them.
Preparing to go check on them, they arrived at the Wu Family’s ho only to find the gate locked.
Curious, Tang Chuxia looked towards Gu Beihuai, who suggested, "They must be out on so errand; let’s co back tonight and see!"
On the way back, Gu Beihuai and Tang Chuxia ran into Mrs. Qin.
The old lady had recovered her health and was carrying a block of tofu ho. Seeing the two of them, she struck up a conversation, and it eventually led to the topic of Qin Zhan finding a wife.
"Look, Haipeng has found a wife, and you’ve taken a wife, only our Qin Zhan is left without a partner. If you two know of a suitable person, do ntion it to him!"
Mrs. Qin, as a mother, was always concerned about her son’s marriage.
Tang Chuxia replied, "Auntie, if I co across soone suitable, I will definitely introduce them to Brother Zhan!"
Mrs. Qin was particularly fond of Tang Chuxia, and had Tang Chuxia not already married Gu Beihuai, Mrs. Qin might well have snatched her to beco her own daughter-in-law.
At the crossroads, they parted ways, and then Gu Beihuai asked her, "Didn’t you say Licorice liked Qin Zhan? Why didn’t you tell Auntie?"
Tang Chuxia looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Isn’t it obvious? Between Qin Zhan and Licorice, what do you think Auntie would think if I said sothing?"
Despite Mrs. Qin’s fondness for Tang Chuxia and her trust in Tang Chuxia’s judgnt, in Mrs. Qin’s eyes, her son was the most remarkable, and his future wife didn’t need to co from a matching family, but she certainly wouldn’t be soone without education, like Licorice.
It wasn’t the sa thing at all.
In the eyes of the older generation, this was a class issue.
Although nowadays people still resist class distinctions, the fact that Licorice ca from a rural background was a disqualifying factor in itself.
Gu Beihuai didn’t understand, thinking if two people are suitable, why care about the rest?
Tang Chuxia, holding Gu Beihuai’s arm, wanted to explain so social intricacies to him, but then she thought about it and realized Gu Beihuai probably understood these things even better than she did. She dropped the idea of enlightening him and instead beca more interested in him as a person, "By the way, is there anything you haven’t confessed to ?"
Gu Beihuai shook his head, "Is there anything I’m keeping from you?"
Tang Chuxia scoffed.
"When you say that, don’t you feel that you’re being unfair?"
Tang Chuxia wasn’t planning to hide anything from Gu Beihuai, but what about him?
It seed he had quite a few secrets, right?
"I am indeed being unfair, I still haven’t managed to get you pregnant!"
Gu Beihuai scooped her up and rushed into the house, and any conversation that followed got lost in the rustling and naturally, nothing further could be asked.
The couple had been up late into the night, and when they woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and they had had to be roused by soone else.
Tang Chuxia stretched lazily, and as soon as she went out, she saw Mrs. Gu.
"Aunt Hong, what’s happened?" Tang Chuxia rubbed her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed. They, as a couple, had been fooling around until late the night before, which led to their late rising.
Mrs. Gu sized up the pair with a smile, clearly satisfied with the couple’s good relationship; nevertheless, she felt the need to remind them about a few things.
"You were supposed to go visit Huai’s grandparents, weren’t you? I have prepared everything for you. If you’re going, rember to take everything with you! The old couple has been inford and are likely waiting for your return these past few days!"
After speaking, Mrs. Gu also instructed Tang Chuxia, "Don’t worry when you go back, the grandparents are very kind, just be yourself like before!"
Tang Chuxia had t Gu Beihuai’s grandparents before, and in the past, she’d often see Gu Beihuai complaining to them, and each ti, the grandparents would co to reason with Tang Chuxia.
This ti visiting, Tang Chuxia felt a bit anxious at heart.
Even though she hadn’t been responsible for the past issues, her actions were involved, and she had to pay the price regardless.
Gu Beihuai, seeing Tang Chuxia’s awkward expression, seed to think of sothing as well.
"Mom, I know what to do, you better get going to work!"
Gu Beihuai ushered Mrs. Gu out before speaking to Tang Chuxia, "What? Feeling scared now? You weren’t scared when you used to bully ?"
Tang Chuxia desperately wanted to hit him, but ultimately, she refrained.
It really wasn’t a good ti to start a physical fight, as it would give Gu Beihuai leverage over her.
Gu Beihuai hugged her waist and whispered in her ear, "If my grandparents bring up the past again, just say you’re pregnant. They’ll definitely stop talking right away!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
This guy was simply inhumane.
Falsely reporting a pregnancy could get her in big trouble.
Tang Chuxia pushed Gu Beihuai away, knowing she needed to think carefully about how to communicate with the old couple.
Just as she was considering whether to change her clothes and seek so advice from her mother, soone knocked on the door.
Tang Chuxia looked out to see a stranger.
"Comrade Xiao Tang, we’re here to invite you to watch our newly arranged play!" It was the cultural troupe’s leadership.
This puzzled Tang Chuxia, as she wondered how she attracted their attention.
Recalling the events she had caused at the cultural troupe previously, she led the person to the living room and then replied, "I am very honored!"
Naturally, Tang Chuxia wouldn’t refuse the invitation. In this era, aside from watching movies, traditional theater was another option, though modern audiences were increasingly less interested!
The cultural troupe’s leader ntioned, "We heard that Comrade Xiao Tang was supposed to join our organization, but there was a change of personnel?"
As the past was brought up, Tang Chuxia felt sentintal, barely rembering how much ti had passed since then.
The job that Tang Wanqiu had taken from her had co full circle and was now in front of her again, and part of her wanted to laugh.
"I’ve not been in good health. There were so oversights when my family made arrangents," Tang Chuxia explained her situation.
The person had co to her humbly seeking advice and naturally wouldn’t put on airs, even inviting her again, "The position is still available, can Comrade Xiao Tang still continue to work with us?"
They needed Tang Chuxia’s unique insights as her previous suggestions had greatly benefited them.
At that mont, Tang Chuxia said, "I am going to study for the second half of the year. It wouldn’t be appropriate to work there, but I know soone who would be perfect!"
