Gu Chengyu thought that since she was always her own mother, she would be unlikely to abuse her. He might just ask her to do more work.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Sanya today, he realized that all the talk about tiger poison and not eating seeds was true.
Sanya used to be fair and tender, but now her skin looks dark and yellow, and she is wearing cotton clothes. This dress must have been worn by her mother, and was made smaller for her to wear. It doesn't fit very well, and there are several spots on it.
The place is damaged.
The second bedroom had already been dressed in silk and satin, and Sanya even picked up He's original old clothes to wear.
The Gu family is already living a very comfortable life, and the second wife can get about a thousand taels of silver in dividends every year. Why is the daughter wearing such shabby clothes? She looks like she did when the Gu family had nothing to eat or drink.
Gu Chengyu was shocked. She was still her biological daughter after all, right? Even if she wasn't as valued as her two sons, she couldn't be abused like this!
The little girl asked Gu Chengyu to look at it a little nervously, and her hands began to stir unconsciously.
Gu Chengyu noticed that her hands were very rough, like the hands of a woman who had been working hard for many years. They were not as delicate as a little girl's. In just the past few months, a good little girl had been polished into this?
"Master, grandma, uncle, sister-in-law." Gu Mei called out, but the sound was like a mosquito.
How much abuse did he receive at home for being so petty? He was speechless towards his second brother and sister-in-law, so he looked down on his daughter so much?
"Well! Your father left just now, have you eaten? There are still dishes, you can have a bowl!" Father Gu asked Mrs. Li who was cleaning up to give Gu Mei a bowl of rice, without caring whether Gu Mei had eaten it or not.
Put it on the table like this.
"Not yet!" The sound was barely audible.
"Eat! Eat more!" Father Gu sighed. The second son and his wife have lost their consciences. After all, they are daughters, and they are reluctant to give up to stuttering?
Gu Chengyu saw Gu Mei sitting carefully at the table and started eating.
He looked at Gu Wan and was very confused. It seemed like this wasn't the first time this happened, right? Although he was timid to look at Gu Mei, he was not polite.
Gu Wan nodded towards him but said nothing. She blinked and signaled to Gu Chengyu to speak later.
Gu Mei ate very quickly. After finishing her meal in a hurry, she went back to the west wing.
"Dad! What's going on with Sanya? Why are you so thin?" Gu Chengyu was very surprised. Life at home was getting better, but his niece still had to live such a hard life?
"Aren't you your good second brother and second sister-in-law? It turns out that Sanya lived in the big house and lived a good life. Who knew that your second sister-in-law was lazy and greedy? In the past two months, your second brother had been very strict.
It was not easy to ask her to go back to her parents' home. She couldn't go back, so she decided to ask Sanya to serve her, cook, wash and tidy the house."
Mrs. Lu didn't have much impression of the original Sanya. She only remembered that Dafang had always raised her. If Mr. He hadn't wanted Sanya back, they wouldn't have remembered this person.
"Your second brother treats Sanya badly and often refuses to give her food. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law can't bear it. They want to take Sanya back, so they eat and drink in the big room, but your second sister-in-law refuses. They also say that this
It’s a girl from the second bedroom, a girl from the second bedroom, and she actually wants to pick up someone else’s. It made your sister-in-law so angry that she never mentioned it again.”
Father Gu told Gu Chengyu what happened next.
Gu Chengyu held her forehead, her sister-in-law only gave birth to one son, that was the pain in her heart.
The third sister-in-law always pokes her sore spots, so it’s strange that the elder sister-in-law is not angry! Sanya is always the second wife, her mother doesn’t care about her anymore, and the elder sister-in-law will not care about her anymore.
The most important thing is that his second sister-in-law wants to cause trouble for no reason, and no one wants to get into trouble.
"Sanya was also hungry, but we didn't know it before! One time, when she was going to wash clothes outside, she walked to the entrance of the hospital and felt so hungry that her stomach ached. Only then did we realize that she had always been hungry before."
Gu Wan also told them and Dafang how they often gave food to Sanya.
Finally, she said with a weird look on her face: "Xiaobao! The second sister-in-law took away all the jewelry you bought for your nieces. I even saw her wearing it on her head!"
Gu Wan is extremely lucky that her parents are very good to her and have a younger brother who loves her very much.
Gu Chengyu was really stunned by He's shamelessness. How could the dowry he bought for his nieces be worn by such a woman? He was going to find an opportunity to get the jewelry back.
As for Sanya, she is in some trouble. Her parents are in charge of her, so how can anyone else interfere? I just feel sorry for this little girl, so I'd better think of a way to do it. If you can help, just help!
"Dad! Is my house built yet?" He was surrounded by tribesmen as soon as he entered the village. Later, he was taken home by Father Gu. He had not seen the house in the village yet. However, there were drawings he drew.
The house should be built the way he likes it.
"It's almost time. It's getting late now. You go and have a rest first. Let's look at it tomorrow!"
Gu Chengyu thought that he was back anyway, so he would definitely not be in a hurry. Then, he asked Ming Mo and the others to move the things from the carriage so that Lu and Gu Wan could see what else needed to be added.
"Uncle!" Gu Chengyu left the main room and was about to go back to his room, but was stopped by Erya, followed by Siya.
Erya is already a slim little girl, and even Siya, who used to be little Douding, is now seven years old.
"Congratulations to Fourth Uncle for winning the imperial examination." Erya and Siya saluted Gu Chengyu, smiled and congratulated, and then handed something in their hands to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. When he took it, he saw that it was a purse.
"This purse was embroidered by Si Ya, and the jade ornaments inside were bought by me in the town. The jade ornaments are not expensive, they just look a bit unique. Don't dislike it, uncle."
Si Ya was a little shy. Her mother found an embroiderer to teach her family. She said that a woman must learn a craft before she can be established in her husband's family. It took her several months of learning to make this purse.
, intending to give it to my uncle.
She didn't have the nerve to give it out at first, but her sister-in-law's embroidery work was much better than hers. It was her second sister who told her that it was always her wish, and it was her uncle's business to wear it or not, so she gave it to her.
Erya was a little embarrassed. Every time my uncle went out, he would bring some things that the girls liked, such as jewelry, cloth, and some novel gadgets to his nieces.
They don't like breasts, but their brother-in-law treats them well. This is the first time they give their uncle a gift in return. They have always wanted to give it to him before, but they were afraid that he would dislike it.
Her eldest sister told them before she got married that her brother-in-law was a good person and was good to everyone in the family. Even his second uncle was very tolerant.
They are women. When they get married in the future, they will often have to rely on their parents' family. The brother-in-law in the family is the most promising and values love and justice. As long as they don't do anything excessive, his brother-in-law will definitely be able to help them.
Although the eldest sister is taciturn, she understands everything. What the eldest sister said is not wrong. She wants to believe it.
These nieces have benefited a lot from their brother-in-law since they were young. She understands her parents, and although her father is honest, in his heart, the eldest brother is more important. Although her mother pities them and involves her eldest brother, they still have to step aside.
