But will Wang Yueniang agree? In the future, she can only rely on Brother Chang. Can she be willing to push out the money she is about to get?
Suddenly, Erlang thought of an idea.
There are quite a few people in the Gu family who want his father to die, Wang Yueniang and Gu Chengyu must be among them.
Maybe his father thought so too, and the Lu family, these people were all looking forward to something bad for the second wife.
But the one who really knows how to take action is either Gu Chengyu or Wang Yueniang.
It's impossible to say that his father was harmed by one of these people. Otherwise, with his temperament, how could he have taken so much tiger whip powder?
The more Erlang thought about it, the more it made sense. No one could explain this kind of thing clearly.
He had to ask clearly about the situation at that time, and he couldn't bury his father so haphazardly.
Erlang pulled Sanlang, who was crying sadly, and Sanlang glanced at his second brother in confusion. Seeing Erlang wink at him, he was a little confused.
Erlang gave Sanlang a blank look, this idiot only knew how to cry.
"Come to the toilet with me!" Erlang said, got up from the ground and walked towards the toilet.
Sanlang hesitated for a while, then confessed to Wang Yueniang beside him, and followed in the same direction.
Wang Yueniang and Mrs. Li looked at their backs thoughtfully. It wasn't until Brother Chang started crying again that Wang Yueniang held him in her arms and comforted him.
Li Shi glanced at Brother Chang and retracted his outstretched hand.
It was not only Wang Yueniang and Li who paid attention to these two people, Gu Chengyu also noticed it.
He knew that Erlang was definitely going to cause trouble. As for the purpose, it was either for money or related to his career.
If Erlang doesn't bite him, then of course he won't bother.
In fact, even if others didn't take action at the beginning, he would have taken action himself. The only difference was that he would spare Gu Chengyi's life and let him lie on the kang all year round, just lingering!
But if Erlang gets involved with him, then he can only be blamed for being rude.
What Erlang can rely on now is the dividends from the soap, plus becoming an official through the imperial examination.
Without these two things, Erlang would be worse than a grasshopper after autumn, not to mention jumping around, and it would be a problem to feed himself.
It's not that Gu Chengyu looked down upon him, it was actually that Erlang had been socializing with his classmates these years besides studying.
This is a master who only knows how to spend money, and has never thought about earning money himself.
Erlang looked in the toilet and found that there was no one in the toilet, so he stood outside the toilet waiting for Sanlang.
As soon as Sanlang arrived, he immediately asked: "Third brother! Do you think there is something fishy about dad's death?"
Sanlang was stunned when Erlang asked, "What's weird?"
Erlang hates the fact that iron cannot become steel, and this third brother is a fool of a man. No wonder he can't continue reading.
It seems that it was wise for my father to place his hopes on him before he died. This third brother will definitely not have much future prospects.
I worked in a soap shop in the county town for several years before I became a steward. I only had to worry about the family business for others. I really had no ambition.
"Think about it! If Gu Chengyu didn't come back, dad would be fine. But as soon as he came back, dad would die. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Erlang looked around and saw that no one was coming, so he said this.
"What? Do you suspect that my uncle killed our father?" Saburo was so surprised that his voice became much louder.
Erlang gestured, "Speak a little louder."
Saburo swallowed his saliva, his throat felt dry.
"Isn't this possible? Why would uncle do this? He is already an official, and he doesn't live in Shangling Village all the time. Even if he has a holiday with our father, it won't matter!"
When Erlang said this, Sanlang also felt that it was a coincidence, but he felt that there was no need for his uncle to do this!
To be honest, my uncle is very tolerant towards his father. His father often sneers at my uncle and is extremely disrespectful to him, but my uncle has never deducted the dividends from the soap to their second wife.
In fact, he felt that his uncle was an open-minded person. As long as he didn't go too far, he didn't mind if he was taken advantage of.
He is very kind to his family members, especially his nieces. Who wouldn’t think that his uncle is kind to them?
If his father was kinder to his uncle, maybe his uncle would do his part to improve the future of these nephews.
However, his second brother and father always disliked his uncle, which made him very puzzled.
"What do you know? Isn't my uncle afraid that our father will get him into trouble? He thinks our father is a burden! He wishes he could throw our father far away. Even I, my uncle, doesn't like me. Isn't he afraid that I will pass the exam?
If he becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official, are you afraid that I will steal his limelight in the Gu family?"
The more Erlang talked, the angrier he became, and the more he felt that Gu Chengyu was jealous of him and wanted to dominate the Gu family.
Sanlang looked at his second brother who was excited, flushed, and with resentment in his eyes, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was so strange.
Although he has also been working in the county in the past two years, he has not had much contact with his second brother. His second brother asked him not to go to private school if he had nothing to do, saying that it would affect his studies.
At first he didn't think much about it, but later he figured out the reason.
When he first went to the shop in the county town, Gu Chengyu may have greeted Mr. Wang, so he was asked to start as a clerk.
At that time, when he went to the county seat from the town, he had not yet been promoted to a manager. His second brother may have felt embarrassed to have a younger brother who was a clerk.
Later, he had little contact with his second brother. After all, his second brother had to study every day and often socialize with his classmates, so he was very busy.
But he didn't expect that the second brother's temper would become so paranoid. What the second brother just meant was that his uncle was jealous of his talent and didn't want the second brother to be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official?
Putting aside the cause of his father's death, he felt that this was just a joke.
What kind of person is this uncle? He is the proud son of heaven.
He became a Jinshi at the age of fourteen and is now a sixth-rank official. How would he be jealous of his second brother who is not even a scholar? This is simply a fantasy.
"Ahem! Second brother, maybe you have some misunderstanding about your uncle? I don't think your uncle is such a person, otherwise he wouldn't have set up a clan school for the clan."
Saburo frowned, suddenly feeling that this was not the time to talk about this.
When Erlang heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "What? Did Gu Chengyu give you any benefits? Otherwise, how could you be like this? Don't you even want to care about your father being killed?"
After hearing this, Sanlang felt a little angry, "Second brother, don't be so arrogant. What kind of person I am is obvious to everyone in our Gu family and even the village. What I said is fair."
Sanlang took a deep breath and looked at Erlang who was about to fly into a rage. He quickly stopped him and said, "This is not the time to argue about this. Since you said there was something fishy about my father's death, we really need to ask Uncle and Ye.
"
In fact, Sanlang also had some thoughts in his mind. He did not doubt Gu Chengyu, but he felt that Aunt Wang and Aunt Li were both very suspicious.
Although Erlang was still unhappy, he achieved his goal.
So he replied with a gloomy face: "I think Aunt Wang and Aunt Li are also very suspicious. We have to keep a close eye on them and don't let these two get away." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Farmer's Making a Fortune"
