Chapter 383 Actor?
The old woman took the baby out again. The baby was white and tender, but it looked smaller than an ordinary child.
The little baby waved his hands and looked very strong.
Liu Rumei picked up the child and said, "You look so happy. Are you happy to see so many uncles and aunts come to see you?"
As he said this he teased the baby.
Many people had never seen Liu Rumei, and everyone was asking who she was.
Gu Weizhi walked over and put his arm around Liu Rumei's waist: "This is my wife. We got married when the flood hit. Since the disaster had just passed, we didn't have time to plan a wedding. I'd like to take advantage of this full moon banquet to bring her out to show her face."
Liu Rumei looked at everyone brightly.
Everyone bowed and greeted each other.
Liu Rumei bowed slightly in return and said with a smile: "Today is my child's full moon banquet. Thanks to the uncles, aunts and uncles present, I have prepared some light meals at home. Please enjoy yourselves."
Everyone nodded and then sat down.
Liu Rumei behaved very magnanimously. Old Mrs. Gu nodded slightly, thinking that Liu Rumei had not brought shame to the family. She finally put her mind at ease after worrying about her since early morning.
After asking everyone to sit down, the kitchen started serving the food.
Gu Weizhi invited Jiang Weinan to the seat of honor. Xie Jiaojiao was naturally at the same table with Liu Rumei. Xie Jiaojiao was also invited to the main seat. After all, for the Gu family, Xie Jiaojiao was the wife of the host.
Moreover, men and women sit separately in such occasions.
The old lady of the Gu family kept talking to Xie Jiaojiao, but Xie Jiaojiao just listened and didn't pay much attention.
Liu Rumei was about to speak, but Xie Jiaojiao reached out and pulled her from under the table, meaning that it was okay.
Just after taking a few bites of the meal, a pretty girl came from the backyard, followed by a little maid. She looked somewhat similar to Gu Weizhi, and even more similar to Old Madam Gu.
She was wearing a pearl flower on her head, a pair of big almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and a goose yellow dress, which made her look more delicate.
"That's your sister-in-law?"
Liu Rumei frowned and nodded: "Why did she come out? She should still be under house arrest today."
Having said that, he turned around, glanced at Gu Weizhi, and tilted his head slightly, meaning, why did she come out?
Gu Weizhi was also a little surprised, looking as if he didn't know either.
"I was the one who called out Narcissus. After all, there's a wedding at home today, and it would be lively if the whole family is together." Old Mrs. Gu took the initiative to speak.
Liu Rumei was speechless immediately.
Gu Shuixian smiled and sat down next to Old Lady Gu, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Rumei with disdain.
Liu Rumei immediately rolled her eyes at her, feeling very unhappy.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her neck and saw that the safety lock hanging around her neck was the one she gave to the baby.
She didn't know what to say, but when she turned around, she saw that Liu Rumei must have noticed it as well. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and stared at her neck.
After Gu Shuixian sat down, she showed off to Old Lady Gu: "Mom, do you think this peace lock looks good?" While speaking, she looked at Liu Rumei provocatively.
Mrs. Gu probably didn't notice anything wrong, and kept praising her: "It's beautiful, beautiful."
But then he realized, "Where did you get such a valuable gold lock?"
Gu Shuixian didn't answer her, and Liu Rumei's nails were almost digging into her flesh. But seeing that there were other guests at the table, she couldn't get angry and could only take deep breaths.
Gu Shuixian probably felt that it was not enough, so she turned around and took a brocade box from the maid. Wasn't it the box that Xie Jiaojiao gave to Liu Rumei for recuperation?
"Mom, there's a good thing here." He handed it to Old Lady Gu.
Old Mrs. Gu smiled and opened it immediately: "My goodness, this ginseng is of such quality that it must be several decades old. Where did you get it from?"
Gu Shuixian said in a sarcastic tone, "Where else could it be? Of course, they collected it from some people's houses. She is almost out of confinement, and you are using our money to buy such an expensive thing. Aren't you afraid that there will be problems with the repair?"
Liu Rumei wanted to scold her immediately, but was stopped by Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Jiaojiao put down her chopsticks and asked leisurely:
"Oh? I don't know why the things I gave him would cause problems for him."
Gu Shuixian frowned, looked at Xie Jiaojiao, and asked in a bad tone: "Who are you? When is it your turn to interrupt me when I'm talking to her?"
As soon as she came over, she saw Xie Jiaojiao, especially the pearl hairpin and hairpin on her head. She was extremely jealous of her because she couldn't buy such a beautiful style!
But she didn't expect that she would run into trouble by speaking up for that bitch Liu Rumei.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her, sneered slightly, and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Gu immediately felt something was wrong, and everyone at the table was looking at them.
Putting down the box in her hand, Old Lady Gu said to Gu Shuixian in a blaming tone: "Shuixian, what are you talking about! How can you talk to a distinguished guest like this?"
Gu Shuixian looked disdainful: "Mother, what kind of distinguished guest can she know?"
After saying that, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with disdain, "Could it be the distinguished guest who watched her perform before? I don't know where he came from! How shameless!"
She wanted to talk, and Old Lady Gu couldn't stop her...
"Hey, Narcissus, what are you talking about!"
Liu Rumei immediately became angry and said that she could do it but her friend couldn't.
"Gu Shuixian! Who are you calling shameful? Do you want me to list all the things you've done to you?"
Gu Shuixian slammed the table, looking even angrier than Liu Rumei: "If you had a good family background, would I treat you like this?"
Gu Weizhi and Jiang Weinan also ran over. When they heard Gu Shuixian's words, they rushed up and slapped her.
"Who let her out?" she questioned the maid behind her.
When Mrs. Gu saw her beloved daughter being beaten, she felt distressed and hurried to look at Gu Shuixian's face: "Oh, my dear."
When he saw this, his face turned red, and he turned around and pushed Gu Weizhi: "You damn bastard, I let her out! What do you want to do!"
After saying this, she seemed to be about to cry: "She is your sister, how dare you be so cruel! Why don't you beat me too!"
Gu Weizhi looked at her making trouble unreasonably, especially with so many people watching, and he felt helpless.
"Mom, don't always stand on her side! Just because of you, you've spoiled her to death! She's disrespectful all day long and doesn't respect her brothers and sisters-in-law!"
"That's your fault too!" Gu Shuixian covered her face with one hand and pointed at Liu Rumei with the other hand while crying.
"Who told you to marry such an actor and make me a laughing stock?"
actor!
Everyone who was eating in the courtyard looked at Liu Rumei with a changed look in their eyes.
Although Liu Rumei felt as if her clothes had been stripped off, she stood straight. However, the slightly trembling hands under her sleeves betrayed how uncomfortable she felt.
But she knew that once she came forward today, she would not be able to conceal this matter in the future...
Unless she stays out of sight and becomes Gu Weizhi's invisible wife.
Gu Weizhi held Liu Rumei's hand to give her confidence, then raised his hand and was about to hit Gu Shuixian again.
Xie Jiaojiao suddenly clapped her hands and asked her with a sneer, "Actor?"
