Chapter 129 is too short, too early.
Chapter 129 is too short, too early.
Gu Peiyan's sudden change of topic almost caught Wei Dongning off guard.
Seeing that she ignored her, Gu Peiyan repeated the question she had just asked.
Wei Dongning then responded, giving a thumbs-up and exclaiming sincerely, "Auntie made me sweet and sour fish today, and it's different from what Aunt Zhou and the others make. It's especially delicious; I ate most of it!"
After praising her, Wei Dongning still felt it wasn't enough.
I described the color, aroma, and flavor of the sweet and sour fish to him.
As I spoke, I realized I was drooling uncontrollably.
I couldn't resist reaching out and wiping it.
Thankfully, there was nothing there.
Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
If someone else had said these words, Gu Peiyan might have doubted whether that person was just being insincere.
Is there anything else you'd like him to help you with?
He absolutely believed whatever Wei Dongning said.
She's not the type to lie and exaggerate without a reason.
If she says something is good, she must genuinely think it's good.
"That sounds really good. I'll ask my aunt to make it for me again another day." Gu Peiyan hadn't tasted her aunt's cooking for many years.
After hearing her words, his stomach began to rumble with anticipation.
I never imagined that my aunt could now cook such a troublesome dish as fish so easily.
It is clear that her life in the Tang family was indeed unsatisfactory.
Gu Peiyan didn't want to think about it anymore.
Anyway, my aunt has already been brought back, so there's no need to dwell on those days!
So, as if nothing had happened, he casually asked another question: "I've noticed that you really like eating fish."
She can enjoy any food she eats.
But as long as there is fish on the table, she will definitely eat half a bowl more rice.
"Fish is nutritious. And when it's cooked, it tastes extremely delicious."
If there were a past life, Wei Dongning even wondered if she was also a kitten reincarnated into a human.
Otherwise, why would she have such a strong love for fish?
Gu Peiyan clearly shared a similar thought: "You and Xiao Wu were probably the same kind in your past life, weren't you?"
The young couple, who had the same idea, smiled at each other.
One more useless tacit understanding.
From where Gu Peiyan was sitting, she could see Xiao Wu running around wildly in the courtyard.
Watching it play, Gu Peiyan couldn't help but chuckle.
But the fleeting glimpse of Gu Shuang at the courtyard gate brought back Gu Peiyan's unease.
"If we have a daughter in the future, I will definitely not let her live the life her aunt lived."
Wei Dongning was somewhat surprised that he had even thought about the future. A thought suddenly formed in her mind: "I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?"
"I'm all ears."
“From now on, let’s work hard together. You work hard to become an official and climb the ranks, and I’ll work hard to increase our family’s wealth. When we have a daughter, we’ll find a son-in-law who will live with us.”
The more Wei Dongning talked, the more she felt that her idea made sense.
I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up.
She's incredibly talented to have come up with this idea.
Surprisingly, Gu Peiyan didn't refute him. Instead, she agreed wholeheartedly: "Yes, Madam makes a good point."
"Also, even if it's a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, we still need to investigate him carefully."
Wei Dongning had never considered how many children she wanted to have in the future.
Since the conversation had already reached this point, she gave it a brief moment of thought.
If they only have one daughter, they certainly wouldn't want her to suffer.
They also need to ensure that their children won't be exploited and leave with nothing by the man from humble beginnings.
Gu Peiyan followed her words and continued to think: "Then why don't we arrange a marriage for her when she's young, so they can grow up together? They know each other well, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"I don't think it's good."
"why?"
"I don't want my future daughter to be born into someone's family as their daughter-in-law."
Even if she wanted to find a son-in-law who would live with her family.
Gu Peiyan frowned upon hearing this: "I haven't thought about it enough."
"No, you're thinking too soon."
The couple had already started discussing her marriage even though it was still uncertain when their daughter would be born.
This topic is coming up way too early.
Besides, who can be sure they'll have a daughter in the future?
"Let's not talk about that anymore, it's still several years away from us." Wei Dongning walked around behind Gu Peiyan and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The words whispered in his ear sounded more like a coaxing gesture.
Let him put aside what he needs to worry about in the future.
Gu Peiyan pulled her arm and made her turn around so that she could straddle his lap and face him. "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to give you and the child a better life."
We will try our best to ensure that he and the child do not suffer at all.
"Okay, I'm counting on you to support me. Supporting me is very expensive."
"You're clearly the richest person in our family right now, and I'm counting on you to support me," Gu Peiyan said modestly.
Little Five was hiding somewhere, and no one knew how long it had been eavesdropping.
Upon hearing their discussion about who would support whom, Wei Dongning immediately became excited: "I'm ordering you two to give me all your money! Starting tomorrow, I'll take over all affairs of the Gu family. I'll support you both, isn't that generous enough!"
It's a powerful algorithm system after all, so managing accounts should be a piece of cake for it.
Moreover, it can also integrate the accounts from recent years.
This will greatly improve efficiency when checking accounts in the future.
By then, it will be the one with the most say in the family.
"Xiao Wu, are you planning to seize power?" Wei Dongning asked.
She genuinely felt that Xiao Wu was being too naive.
If a stranger saw a cat fiddling with an abacus, it would probably scare them half to death.
Otherwise, we'll just push her to the front.
She was responsible for checking the contents of the ledgers; she was the one sitting in front, performing a double act.
They not only plotted to seize power, but also sought complete success.
"I heard you two being so considerate of each other, and I thought you two didn't want to support each other. Well then, I'll have to take on this heavy responsibility of supporting the family without hesitation."
Xiao Wu was so moved by his own words that he almost cried.
It is willing to sacrifice its own freedom for them!
"Don't overthink it, little kitty. Just have fun."
The complexities of the human world are best left to complex humans to solve.
Wei Dongning thought so.
Xiao Wu was just joking with her.
If you really let it manage such a large business, it probably won't take more than a few days before it loses all its patience.
It still has self-awareness.
Just when Wei Dongning thought that life would continue in this peaceful way, God would always send her a new surprise.
Wei Dongning wondered if she had accidentally triggered some kind of mission.
Otherwise, why would they always send her a challenge when she's complacent?
"Xiao Wu, could you ask your god father to check if I'm experiencing Mercury retrograde this year?"
"Ningbao, you must believe in science."
