Gu Zi epitomized a peasant at heart, always trying to reap benefits without letting go, wanting the best of both worlds.
How could she compare him to a rural man?
Zhang Mei handed over the household register to Gu Zi, snorted coldly, and said, "Take it and leave. When you're done, just hand it over to Aunt Wang at the office. No need to return it yourselves."
Then, she went inside, called Aunt Wang at the office, and instructed her to keep a close eye on the Gu family's household register, fearing these two might try something fishy.
She didn't believe they genuinely wanted to transfer registration; most likely, they wanted it for marriage registration.
She was sure Gu Zi still hadn't let go of Gong Zhan in her heart. So, she devised this excuse to fetch the household register, to indirectly let Gong Zhan hear about the marriage registration.
