Originally, it was so far away that we couldn't set out early in the morning. The coachmen didn't accept the job, making it difficult to travel at night. It was only after Gu Chengyu spent twice as much money that the coachman agreed.
Gu Chengyu carried the baggage and pushed open the courtyard door. The house was very quiet, and Gu Chengyu went to the main room without stopping.
"Mother? I'm back!" Pushing open the curtain of the main room, Gu Chengyu discovered that Mrs. Lu was the only one in the main room, and she was sitting on the kang sewing a robe.
"It's Xiaobao who's back? Put down your baggage quickly. Why have you been gone for so many days this time? Brother Xian and the others have been back a long time ago. Do you still know about coming back?" When Lu saw her son coming back, she immediately put down her hands and began to sew.
The clothes I was wearing got off the kang.
"Mom! Where's my dad? Why haven't you seen me since I came back? Where's my second sister? Why haven't you seen me?" It's normal for Dad Gu to be away. After all, Dad Gu can't sit still and wanders around the fields when he has nothing to do. But the second sister
Not here either, which is a little strange.
Gu Wan has had a quiet temper in the past two years, and now he is cooking dinner. Logically speaking, Gu Wan should not be away. When he came, he looked at the kitchen and saw that there was no one there at all.
"Oh! Stop talking, your father called your uncle, and Wan'er followed him! Didn't you come back with a letter? Brother Hua went out and brought back a woman, isn't that right? At home
There’s a fuss going on!”
Mrs. Lu couldn't stand looking at such a woman. When she brought her back yesterday, there was a lot of commotion in the village, so she also went to see that woman. It seemed like that woman was not a good girl at first glance. Look at her figure and movements.
Seductive fairy.
"Ah! But there's a quarrel?" Gu Chengyu could imagine that this would definitely cause an uproar in the family.
"It's still noisy! A fight broke out. Brother Hua is still protecting the girl. It's really hard for Brother Hua and his daughter-in-law. They don't know how they will live in the future! You said that life in your uncle's family is also tight. This
If you bring back another one, your family will not be able to live well?"
In Shangling Village, apart from Mr. Zhao's family, no one takes a concubine. But now, the Gu family is about to set this precedent.
Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment and felt that he had to go and take a look. Although he had persuaded Gu Wanhua, he couldn't stay out of it now that something like this happened.
"Mom! I'll go take a look!" Gu Chengyu was about to put the baggage back in the room and then go to Uncle Gu's house.
"What? You can't go! You don't know that Brother Hua's daughter-in-law is still complaining about you! She said that you didn't keep an eye on Brother Hua and let him wander around outside. I had a quarrel with her yesterday.
A few words, it’s really nonsense. How can this matter be blamed on you? Are you Brother Hua’s parents? Can you take care of him? Besides, you are still a little kid! How do you understand this?
I also said that Brother Hua almost led my son to evil!"
Madam Lu became angry when she mentioned this. Originally, she sympathized with Madam Yang, but what did Madam Yang mean by pouring dirty water on her son's head? She actually blamed her little baby. It was really ridiculous!
"Mom! Then I should go. I also tried to persuade Brother Hua about this matter, but he didn't listen to me. But the people in the village don't know, so when the time comes, won't his wife be allowed to talk nonsense? Besides,
I also have some responsibility for this matter, and I should monitor him more strictly. If I could ignore his objections and send him back as soon as possible, there wouldn't be so many problems!"
In fact, when it comes to this, Gu Chengyu really regrets it. He should have asked Ming Mo to send Gu Wanhua back earlier, otherwise there would be so much trouble?
"How is this your fault? He is such an adult and he can't take care of himself? How many times can you take care of him?" When Mrs. Lu heard that Gu Chengyu blamed herself, she immediately turned down her face. In her heart, Gu Wanhua was far away.
Far less important than my son.
"By the way! Where is Ming Mo? Have you come back from the town?" Gu Chengyu asked Ming Mo to send Gu Wanqian to the house in the town. There was a teacher there who could teach him literacy and arithmetic. By the way,
Go through the accounts of the town and county.
"I'm back! I won't be back until noon. I went to your uncle's house with your father." Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with this boy Ming Mo. He worked steadily and being Gu Chengyu's servant couldn't be better.
Gu Chengyu thought of Ming Yan in the workshop again. He had previously asked him to take care of the soap workshop in the village.
"It's time for dinner soon, you might as well go! Call your father and your sister back for dinner." Mrs. Lu poured water for Gu Chengyu, and then sat back on the kang.
"Oh! What about big brother and the others? They went too? I didn't hear a sound when I came back!" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised why it was so quiet in the yard.
Mrs. Lu curled her lips when she heard this, "Your eldest brother and his family are in the fields, and your second sister-in-law and others have gone back to their parents' home. They have been there for three or four days, and the second brother went to pick them up! I don't know which family's daughter-in-law still always
If she runs back to her parents' house and doesn't come back, it would be strange if the Wang family and her brother don't take all the little money she has!"
Ms. Lu felt that the second son's family was really stupid for always returning to his parents' home. The family was often in a cold situation, so what kind of good thing was Mr. He's wife, Mrs. Wang? Seeing that her daughter had split up her family and had money in her hands,
This is a trick to trick the daughter into going to her parents' house to get money! But He is so stupid that she runs to her parents' house frequently.
"Then I'll go over there!" Gu Chengyu was not interested in what Lu said about the movements of the second brother's family. Now that the family is separated, it is not their family's turn to talk about the second brother's family. In other words, as long as they are happy, they can
good.
"Oh! Mom, please don't stop me. Since this family can't tolerate me, I will take the baby back to my parents' home!"
Before Gu Chengyu entered Uncle Gu's yard, he heard little Yang's cry outside the courtyard gate. At this time, the yard of Uncle Gu's house was also full of people, and everyone was watching the show outside.
"Huh? You're talking about the Gu family! In the past two years, it was the Gu Changqing family that was always causing trouble, so now it's the Gu Changsong family's turn? Look! There's something wrong with the Gu family's feng shui!" One of the villagers pulled a passerby.
God said nonchalantly.
"I think you're just jealous, right? You said there's something wrong with the Gu family's feng shui? That's true. Look, there are a few people living in a large blue brick house with tiles in the water, and they are all prosperous! I heard that they are all scholars.
! Isn’t it normal for a scholar to take a concubine? Besides, he has a lot of money!"
The person who spoke was so envious! The Gu family has really grown up, and I guess even Mr. Zhao’s family can’t compare with it. After all, Mr. Zhao’s family doesn’t even have a scholar!
Gu Chengyu pushed aside the villagers behind him, "Please give way, everyone!"
"Oops! The little scholar is back!" The villagers immediately made way out of the way when they found out it was Gu Chengyu. This is the scholar!
"Ahem! Everyone has misunderstood. I am not a scholar yet! I have to take another exam. After passing it, I will be a scholar. Now, I am just a child!"
"Ah? There are still exams? Well, it's only a matter of time before you become a scholar. When the time comes, don't you forget about our fellow villagers?" The villagers complimented Gu Chengyu enthusiastically.
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly and bowed his hands to everyone. At the same time, what he was thinking about was that when he asked for the money, no one in the village except Aunt Wang's family stood up to speak for his family.
