Outside, he saw his eldest brother helping his sister-in-law wash the dishes in the kitchen. He walked over and said, “Sister-in-law, go and take care of Xiao Douzi. I’ll take care of this.”
Mrs. Fang was stunned momentarily and knew he wanted to chat with Gu Chengen.
She put the work in her hands down and said, “Well… alright, after you’re done, boil some water to wash up.”
“Got it.” After Gu Chengsi finished speaking, he took over her job.
“Have you said everything?” Gu Chengen turned his head and asked.
“I’ve said it, but whether she changes or not is another matter.” Gu Chengsi replied with a headache.
Because he could see clearly that no matter what he said, his wife still felt inferior in front of him, this was not something that could be changed in a short period of time.
“Brother, how do you think we can make her more confident?” he asked.
Gu Chengen paused for a long time after hearing that. He had seen her arrogant look previously and thought she had looked down on them because of Gu Chengsi’s rise in status.
After all the fuss, she was the one who felt inferior, but she used arrogance and disdain to cover it up.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
“To put it bluntly, she just felt uneasy. It would be fine if you let her feel at ease.
“Of course, relying on words and promises is useless.
“You have to use practical actions to reassure her.”
“For example…?” Gu Chengsi hurriedly asked.
Gu Chengen went silent for a moment before saying, “Take some time every day to teach her something or tell her about your life outside, especially things that can inspire her.
“Only when her horizons are broadened can she keep up with your thoughts and your relationship be firm.
“Just like Chengrui and his wife.
“It could be said that they are of one heart and one mind. They supported each other, so that’s why they could go further than anyone else.
“I also heard something about them that made me very impressed.”
After that, he told him how they rejected King Kang’s previous offer to send people to their residence.
“Although they were rash, they understood each other’s intentions, which was why they could force King Kang away.
“If it were another couple, the husband would not dare to fight back.
“As a wife, she definitely wouldn’t dare say that. Firstly, she was afraid that her husband would complain. Secondly, she would fear that she would offend King Kang and cause trouble for the family.”
“That’s true. It seems that we haven’t communicated enough.”
“Indeed. They are like an old couple. They can tell what the other person is thinking from their eyes and actions.”
“You’re making me a little envious.”
“So, think about how you two should get along.”
On the other hand, after returning home, Gu Chenglin said, “Brother Chengrui, Cousin Chengsi’s wife can’t do it. She’s too rash. She’ll definitely bring trouble to him in the future.”
“You’re thinking quite far ahead.
“However, this is a matter between them. It’s best if we don’t interfere. Moreover, there are still their parents. If there’s anything, they will come forward to resolve it.
“However, Mrs. Bai was indeed a little petty.
“I hope she can change as soon as possible. Otherwise, they won’t be able to go far.”
“Sigh, everyone wants to be an official. It’s not that easy to be an official. How many officials have died in the past two years?”
“Therefore, an official must be clear-headed. There are some things that can be touched and some things that cannot be touched.”
“Oh, then what are those?” Gu Chenglin asked curiously.
“Let’s put it this way. You can’t touch military expenses, the money for imperial examinations, disaster relief, or essential construction such as the river embankment.
“If you touch these, something will happen sooner or later. If something happens, all your money will be confiscated, and you and your family will be exterminated..”
