It was noon when Gu Qing'er arrived in Ancheng. Although Fu Chengyu did not show up on time, he had already made arrangements for some things, so as soon as Gu Qing'er got off the plane, someone picked her up in the car.
Although she returns to Anseong every year, she is actually not familiar with the road from the airport to the city. She only feels that the scenery and buildings outside the window are unfamiliar.
This is her hometown, but to her, it has gradually lost the meaning of home.
Gu Qing'er sat quietly, making no sound along the way. It wasn't until the car stopped at the entrance of a courtyard near the Third Ring Road, and the driver turned around and said to her, "Mrs. Fu, we're here," that she finally responded.
one time.
The next moment, she saw a small head flash past the gate, and then about ten seconds later, someone quickly walked out of the courtyard gate.
Before Gu Qing'er had time to get out of the car, a group of about ten men, women, old and young, had already gathered around the car, staring at the people in the car with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
The leaders were naturally her aunt Gu Yin and brother-in-law Gu Jie.
Gu Qing'er could see clearly that after she saw that she was the only one in the car, their expressions changed.
Immediately afterwards, her uncle opened the car door for her and asked hurriedly: "Qing'er, why are you alone? Where is Chengyu?"
Hearing this, Gu Qing'er said calmly: "He has something delayed, so he may not be able to come as scheduled -"
"Ah? Delayed?" my aunt answered hurriedly, "Then will he come over again? When will he come over?"
Gu Qing'er curled her lips, and then said: "I don't know, he is very busy now, I don't want to disturb him, I will check his arrangements later."
The uncle wanted to say something after hearing this, but Gu Qing'er spoke first: "I'm a little tired, can I go in and rest first?"
My aunt frowned, and then said: "The rooms have been prepared for you, but you came back alone. Isn't this a waste of time?"
"No delay." Gu Qing'er got out of the car and said, "Anyway, one person can live in a room, and two people can live in it."
After saying that, she got out of the car and walked straight into the courtyard.
Gu Jie and Gu Yin looked at each other, their expressions were not very good, but Gu Qing'er just walked in the door without looking back.
Gu Jie said: "Look what's going on. I told you I was going to come, but suddenly I didn't come -"
Gu Yin sneered and said: "I said it was unreliable before. In so many years, has your nephew and son-in-law ever come back with her? At no time has she been alone. If she really wants to
Are you considering her so contemptuously?"
"He told me personally on the phone before," Gu Jie said angrily, "I can tell that the two of them were getting along well at that time -"
"Don't you think about who the Fu family is? It's not commonplace for them to make fun of themselves. Before they got married, didn't people come over and call you kindly? But what about the following years? They gave you a look.
Is that so? You have to be careful to look at other people's faces -" Gu Yin said, "To put it bluntly, this courtyard belongs to our Gu family. It is our Gu family who have the final say whether to sell it or not. His surname is Fu!
Why should you look at his face!"
After saying that, Gu Yin turned around and walked towards the door.
"What do you want to do?" Gu Jie turned around quickly and asked.
Gu Yin snorted coldly and said, "I'll go and make it clear to Qing'er! This time, she has to sell even if she doesn't sell!"
Gu Yin walked straight in, passed through the hanging flower door and entered the backyard. He saw Gu Qing'er standing in front of the quaint large tank in the center of the yard, looking down at a few red fish swimming slowly inside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Gu Qing'er did not move. He only occasionally dropped one or two fish food from between his fingers and played with it nonchalantly.
"Qing'er, aren't you tired? Why are you still standing here feeding the fish?" Gu Yin said, "Go inside, I have something to tell you."
"It's okay. I'll take a look at the fish. I'm in a good mood." Gu Qing'er said, "Auntie, if you need anything, just tell me here."
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Gu Yin said, "Recently, a real estate developer wants to develop land in this area. Guess how much the price for our courtyard house will be?"
Hearing this, Gu Qing'er slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and then said, "Are you bringing up old things again so soon?"
Hearing these words, Gu Yin tried hard to control the urge to roll his eyes, and suppressed his temper and said: "Do you know how much the housing prices in this area have increased in the past few years? It is three times more than before! Three times more.
Ah! What are you waiting for if you don’t sell it now? Are you waiting for others to abandon this place and turn it into a nail shop? If you miss this village, you won’t have this store!”
"Oh." Gu Qing'er didn't even raise her head and just responded lightly.
Gu Yin said: "Then you agree?"
Gu Qing'er threw away the fish food in his hand, clapped his hands gently, then raised his head, looked at her, and slowly uttered four words: "I don't agree."
Sure enough, Gu Yin's expression changed instantly, and before she could say anything, Gu Qing'er turned around and walked into the house.
Gu Yin immediately chased after him and said: "Gu Qing'er, let me tell you, you just inherited a small share of your father's share. Don't think you have any absolute say. If you said you wouldn't sell it before, then
Your brother-in-law and I made it up to you, but you can’t do it this time!"
"Really?" Gu Qing'er said, "Then if I just don't agree to sell, what will my aunt do to me?"
"Don't think that your uncle and I have to look at your face because the Fu family is backing you!" Gu Yin said, "What's the big deal with the Fu family? Even if they can cover the sky with one hand, it's not their turn to interfere in this matter.
!”
After hearing this, Gu Qing'er raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Then you have already made a decision and just informed me that I am here?"
"That's right." Gu Yin said, "Your uncle and I have already made a decision. This time, we have to sell it!"
While talking, Gu Jie also walked to the door and heard the conversation between the two, but just stood there without moving.
Gu Qing'er turned to look at him and said, "What if I just don't agree?"
"The worst case scenario is going to court!" Gu Yin said, "Let me tell you, the inheritance rights of this house have nothing to do with you. If we really go to court, your uncle and I may not be able to get back all the property rights of the house! But!
You should think carefully about whether your husband's family will be able to live with the face of such an ugly scene. After all, they are people from the upper class who care about face the most."
"Yes." Gu Qing'er suddenly sighed and responded, "Then you really need to think about it carefully..."
While speaking, she had already untied her coat, and the moment she took off her coat, both Gu Yin and Gu Jie changed their expressions at the same time.
"Qing'er, you..." Gu Jie was so shocked that his voice changed, "Are you pregnant?"
Gu Qing'er looked down at her belly, then raised her head with a smile and said, "This is probably not fat."
