Gu Ya's mother was stunned.
Although she only had one daughter and did not know how to treat her son's boyfriend, she put herself in his shoes. If Jiujiu was a boy and she met Jiujiu's girlfriend for the first time, she would definitely try her best to show her best side.
Moreover, she believed that anyone who was slightly sensible would do the same.
Just like what Jiujiu had described, Li Chen's parents acted the same way after seeing Jiujiu.
Gu Ya's mother felt that it was not that they were insensible, but that they did not respect Jiujiu at all.
When a person's parents didn't respect you for the first time this year, it could only mean one thing. Even if their son didn't use a very serious attitude when describing you to them, it could only mean one thing.
Looking at it this way, whether Jiujiu took the initiative to break up or was dumped, there was not much difference.
However, since Jiujiu took the initiative to break up with Li Chen, it meant that Jiujiu had gotten rid of her previous love brain and started to speak rationally.
Although it was a good thing that Jiujiu had become rational, Gu Ya's mother could not help but feel sorry for Jiujiu when she thought about why Jiujiu had become rational.
His daughter had suffered in the end.
Gu Ya's mother looked at Jiujiu with reddened eyes as she smiled at her. "Since you've broken up, don't contact him anymore. By the way, I'll talk to your aunt tomorrow. If there's anyone suitable, I'll introduce them to you."
Hearing that Gu Ya's mother was going to introduce her to someone, Jiujiu quickly stopped her. "Mom, I just broke up. I only want to focus on my career now. I'm not in the mood to date. Maybe later."
Although Gu Ya's mother was anxious about Jiujiu's marriage, she also felt sorry for her daughter. Moreover, when she heard that Jiujiu had just broken up with Li Chen, she sighed and said, "Alright then. But you have to promise me that if there's someone suitable, you'll go out with him. Don't give up on yourself because of someone like him, okay?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. "Mom, don't worry. I will."
Jiujiu had been an obedient child since she was young. Seeing that Jiujiu promised that she would remove it when she found something suitable, Jiujiu's mother stopped nagging her.
Seeing this, Jiujiu went to the kitchen with Gu Ya's mother to cook.
When the two of them were done cooking, Gu Ya's father, who had gone out for a walk, returned.
Jiujiu was rich, so the clothes that Gu Ya's parents bought were very expensive.
The people in the village did not know what was good for them, but there were people who knew what was good for them. As soon as they saw Gu Ya's father's clothes, they told their family what brand it was and how expensive it was. This made the parents who did not think much of it envious.
Although they also had children, how could their children be willing to buy such good clothes for them?
The person who had said that Gu Ya was useless last year instantly panicked when she saw Gu Ya's father's new clothes.
This was because they knew that Gu Ya's father had specially worn them for them to see.
Gu Ya's father earned a lot of money outside and received many praises. When he returned home and saw that the food was ready, he could not stop smiling when he saw that it was just waiting for him to come home for dinner.
After the family finished eating, Jiujiu returned to the soft blanket that Gu Ya's parents had just basked in the sun. She spent the first night home comfortably.
After returning home for the first day, Jiujiu began her journey of staying at home.
Every day, she would either prepare things for the new year with Gu Ya's mother or drive Gu Ya's parents to buy things for the new year.
Previously, Gu Ya's father had been so envious just by wearing new clothes. When they saw that Jiujiu was driving a new car, they asked and found out that she had paid for it in full. The group of people were all envious.
They kept praising Jiujiu for being promising and said that Gu Ya's parents were married.
Gu Ya's parents were so happy that they could not stop smiling.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Ya's parents each gave Jiujiu a big red packet for good luck.
After receiving the red packets, Jiujiu also gave Gu Ya's parents a big red packet each.
The family of three looked at the red packets in their hands and could not stop smiling.
On the first day of the new year, the family went to visit their relatives.
On the first day, they went to Gu Ya's maternal grandparents' house.
Gu Ya's mother was the youngest daughter in their family, so Gu Ya's grandparents doted on her very much.
When they heard that Jiujiu had bought a car, Gu Ya's grandparents held Jiujiu's hand and asked her about Jiujiu's current job.
Jiujiu told them the truth. "I've been transferred to the company's headquarters to be the general manager's secretary. Last year, I received more than 100,000 yuan as a year-end bonus. In addition, I used the money I saved to buy the car."
When he heard that Jiujiu had received more than 100,000 yuan as a year-end bonus, Gu Ya's cousin-in-law gasped.
"Your year-end bonus is 100,000 yuan. Your salary must be quite high."
Jiujiu smiled shyly. "Our general manager just gave me a raise this year. My annual salary is 500,000 yuan. The overtime allowance is calculated separately."
Everyone was already amazed by the 100,000 yuan year-end bonus. Now that they heard that it was 500,000 yuan, everyone was shocked. They looked at Jiujiu differently.
Gu Ya's grandparents had always liked Jiujiu. When they heard that Jiujiu was so amazing, they could not stop smiling.
As for the other relatives, they all sighed. Indeed, the difference between studying and not studying was huge.
Then, they told the children standing beside them that studying could change their fate.
Jiujiu's grandparents were harmonious. However, when her aunt's relatives arrived, the atmosphere changed.
The person who had mocked Gu Ya the most last year was Gu Ya's uncle.
Jiujiu felt that after living for so many years and meeting so many weirdos, Gu Ya's uncle could be put in the mix to compete with those people.
Gu Ya's uncle-in-law was stubborn, narrow-minded, chauvinistic, and talkative. These were the traits that he carried forward incisively and vividly.
His two children were both medical students.
One of them even signed a contract with a tertiary Grade A hospital as soon as he graduated.
Logically speaking, if an ordinary person knew that their child had signed a contract with a tertiary Grade A hospital, they would definitely be overjoyed. However, when he found out, his first reaction was to stop his child from signing the contract. Then, he ordered his child to go home.
His eldest daughter was unwilling, so he cried and threw a tantrum. He directly said that if she did not go home, he would jump off the roof.
Although his eldest daughter really wanted to stay in a tertiary Grade A hospital, she could not do anything about it. She could only return to this small town with tears in her eyes and become a doctor in the county hospital.
As for his second daughter, she was brainwashed by him before she even graduated. In the end, she also stayed in the small town.
Gu Ya's uncle did not realize that he had ruined his two children's great future. Instead, he was all kinds of smug and felt that he had done the right thing.
He even kept telling people that it was not good to talk about big cities.
There were many cars and people in big cities, and the housing prices were high. The most terrible thing was that there was a lot of pollution and smog. Those who stayed in the city all day to absorb the smog would live a few years less than others.
However, small towns were different. There were few people, and the environment was good. Most importantly, the housing prices were low. It was easy to live there.
