Chapter 713: Aunt Yang’s Daughter

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi’s face flushed at the remark, deciding to ignore the table chatter. She took her children and went to join her maternal family. Gong Xin followed closely, her gaze darting left and right, but she couldn’t spot the person she was hoping to see.

Gu Zi noticed her seemingly searching for someone. She chose not to comment on it, instead turning to Su Bing and saying, “Your Uncle Jin Long is the best man today. He must look very handsome. He’s probably on the other side, helping to welcome the guests, right?”

Su Bing, unaware of the underlying intention behind her mother’s words, simply answered truthfully, pointing in a distant direction. “Uncle Jin Long is over there, helping Uncle Lin Hun entertain the bride’s guests. Should we tell him that Dad is here?”

Gu Zi shook her head, about to say it wasn’t necessary. However, Gong Xin, with her sharp ears, caught the conversation and grabbed Gu Zi’s hand. “Gu Zi, you go sit down first. I need to find Jin Long. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t even know your address. I need to thank him.”

With that, Gong Xin disappeared as if she was afraid Gu Zi would bring the children along with her.

However, Gu Zi didn’t have time to chastise Gong Xin for her fickleness. She spotted her mother waving at her from across the room, calling them over to sit. “Gu Zi, Su Bing, Su Li, Lele, come over here quickly. We’ve saved seats for you.”

As Gu Zi approached, she noticed that only her parents were present. She didn’t recognize the others at the table. As she sat down, she asked in a low voice, “Where are my sister-in-law and brother? Are they helping in the kitchen?”

Upon hearing her daughter’s immediate concern for her son and daughter-in-law, An Yun smiled with relief. “Your brother, sister-in-law, and Aunt Yang are still busy preparing the braised meat. But they’ll be done soon. Once the meat is ready, they’ll hand it over to someone else to cut and serve. As for seating, they’ll find their own places.”

Gu Zi nodded, taking Su Le from Su Li. She felt more comfortable feeding the child herself. After all, the little girl was growing bigger every day, speaking more fluently, and becoming more lively. Sometimes, she would suddenly wave her little hand while eating, which could easily create a mess if not careful.

If Su Le were to accidentally spill oil on Su Li, it would be a problem.

As Gu Zi was taking care of Su Le, an auntie sitting across the table turned her attention to Gu Zi. “Aunt An, Gu Zi takes such good care of the Su children. She should have one of her own, don’t you think?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi confirmed that this auntie must be from Little Lin Village. After all, the wedding was held in the town, and the relatives and friends from Little Lin Village would naturally attend.

However, this auntie’s words clearly had no good intentions.

Almost everyone in the village knew that Su Shen’s only condition for marriage was not to have children after marriage.

Yet this auntie insisted on bringing up this matter at such an occasion. Even if it wasn’t intentional, Gu Zi didn’t want to give her a pleasant look. She pretended not to hear and started peeling peanuts to eat.

An Yun was also displeased by the comment. She responded sternly, “Whether they have children or not is their business. We, as elders, should just wish them well.”

The auntie could tell that An Yun was upset. She felt embarrassed and her face changed slightly, but she didn’t dare to say anything else.

After all, everyone knew that the Su family was the most influential in the villages. If they offended the Su family and the family decided to move their pig farm, the person who offended them would be the sinner of the three villages. It was a mistake they couldn’t afford to make.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward, but luckily, the wedding ceremony started at that moment. Gu Zi turned her head to look at the small open-air stage set up in front. Lin Hun, hand in hand with Gui Hua, walked onto the stage.

At the entrance of the wedding, a young woman carrying a handbag hurriedly arrived. She asked the person collecting gift money at the entrance, “Excuse me, is Aunt Yang helping out at this banquet? Her name is Yang Huan, is she here?”

The person collecting the gift money naturally knew Aunt Yang, but he was puzzled by the city-dressed woman in front of him looking for Aunt Yang. He asked, “Aunt Yang is here, she’s over there preparing the braised meat. What do you need her for?”

The young woman’s eyes suddenly reddened. “I’m her daughter. I’m here to find her. Can you take me to her?”

Upon hearing this, the man collecting the gift money immediately believed her. He realized that this woman’s features were very similar to Aunt Yang’s. Could this really be Aunt Yang’s daughter who had left many years ago?

He quickly led the way. “Follow me, I’ll take you to Aunt Yang.”
