Chapter 401
Xiaonan is also a promising person, and he has also taken a foothold in the village with his own abilities.
Alas... the two most capable grandchildren have broken up with their family, and the people who stayed at home either are incompetent and like to cause trouble or have not made any progress. They only know that relying on such a little ancestral property to make ends meet. A hundred years later, these juniors in the family will probably fall to live on a few acres of land.
Knowing that the master misunderstood me, the old lady was not in a hurry to explain.
She laughed and said, "I didn't think about taking advantage of others. I'm so old, how long can I live? Those are the things that children should worry about." She slowly picked up the teacup and drank it.
"Just know, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How many years can we live in this world? Enjoy the rest of our lives peacefully. We still have nine hundred taels of silver on us. When we die, we will arrange a lively funeral for us." He had long known that the sons and grandchildren who stayed at home were not reliable.
When the old woman heard his words, she was so scared that she almost couldn't hold the teacup in her hand. She turned her head guiltily to avoid the master from discovering something was wrong with her.
In fact, there are only five hundred taels of silver bills now. As for where the four hundred taels of silver bills went? Of course, it was her beloved young son. She was partial to her younger son. The younger son cried to her for a few words, but she didn't control herself. After a while of searching, she finally knew where the master hid the silver bill, so she quietly took out the coffin book hidden by the old man, and once there would be a second time.
Later, when she remembered the old man's confession, she only had five hundred taels in her hand. Fortunately, the master hid the silver note and never opened it again. For the sake of the future, the youngest son came to her to get the silver again, and she had no reason. Of course, there was no more. But she didn't expect that because she stopped giving the silver, she was ignored by her younger son's family and no longer came to her to make things happen. She only came to see her old woman once a few days ago. Since then, she has been open-minded and it is better to rely on herself than anyone else.
Sooner or later, she will tell the old man about the silver bill being stolen. Should she tell the old man about his happy life today?
Gu Juan didn't know what he told him to tell him at this time, but fortunately the old woman reacted quickly and did not put the silver notes...
"I just regret not going to see it today. Master, there should be many people in the past today, right?" I first took a few flatteries and prepared the pretext. I won't get so angry when I say it later.
"It's a pity. If your grandson holds a housewarming banquet, you don't want to go there. I'm afraid that the only one in the village and the madman in the big house will not go there. Xiaoyu's banquet was so rich. If you went there, you could have a good meal." Gu Juan thought of the table full of meat and vegetables, and didn't want to come back. He thought that if Xiaoyu invited him to live in his house, he would definitely live there until the New Year without saying a word.
"Master, don't talk about those banquets anymore. When I think of those meat and vegetables, I feel greedy." Didn't she just hold her own identity as an old lady and doesn't want to go to a concubine's house? How could she know that they would hold the banquet so rich? She regrets it so much now. Is face worth more than meat?
Gu Juan laughed, "It's too late to be greedy now." He was really happy today. At Xiaoyu's house, no matter what he did today, Xiaoyu asked him to make a decision first. Although he didn't know anything, Xiaoyu was still the one who made the decision in the end, but Xiaoyu earned him a lot of face today.
When the old lady saw that the old man was happy, she was about to tell the matter, but...
"Father and mother, you are all here." Gu Fu stood at the door, calling in a depressed voice.
"Fu'er is here, are you doing something?" Although what he was about to say was interrupted, the person who came was his own son. What can I do? Just bear it.
"Mother, my son wants to talk to you." Gu Fu walked to the two old men's lower heads and sat down, still speaking listlessly.
"What kind of morality does a big man be listless all day long?" Gu Juan was so angry when he saw his eldest son like this.
"Master, please calm down. Why did Fu'er get so angry when he comes? There must be a reason for Fu'er like this, so you can't listen to him first." The old lady didn't know why her son became like this. Even though she was disappointed with her two sons, she was still unhappy when she heard the master scolding her eldest son.
Gu Juan saw the boss sitting up straight, and then he calmed down, "Tell me, what's going on with you?"
Gu Fu didn't care about his father's scolding him just now, but in fact he just didn't listen to him.
"Father, do you think I am quite a failure in life? If I fail to do a career, my family will follow me back to my hometown to suffer." Gu Fu said with a sigh.
"It's rare. You know that you are wrong and have no vision, so don't take your own initiative. But things have happened. Now I think of sadness in spring and autumn? Fortunately, my family still has some ancestral property, and I can barely survive." Their family is a scholar, so it's fine if they want to make a fortune by planting. After three generations, their family will be able to continue their careers.
"Yes, my son's vision is indeed not good. Even Yang, who has lived with him for most of his life, cannot see through it. She has been fooled by her for so long, but now she realizes that she is a woman with a scorpion-hearted and greedy fortune."
"It's all that poisonous woman who hides so well. Didn't we not notice her viciousness? But it's not too late to find out now. Didn't she go crazy because of retribution?" She just kept that poisonous woman, and she was not happy at all.
The old lady felt that her eldest son had been too lucky in recent years, so she felt sorry for him and poured him a cup of tea himself.
The tea no longer burned his mouth, so Gu Fu took a big sip.
"Even Aunt Wang, who is usually cowardly and silent, oh no, it's Wang. She lives with me with a mask. Now that she leaves me, it becomes different immediately. As soon as I leave, I can't wait to find the next house. Mother, you haven't seen what she looks like today. How happy she is with that man, and talks easily among the villagers. She used to not even dare to go out. Over time, it will easily make people forget her existence."
"What? Are you talking about Aunt Wang Xiaoyu's aunt? When did she get married? How did her concubine leave you?" The old lady didn't know about this. Where did a concubine get the courage and ability?
Gu Fu stared blankly at his mother who suddenly became angry and answered honestly, "Before the New Year last year... the marriage should have been two months ago." Gu Fu told the matter that the conditions for exchange with Gu Yu last year were to let Aunt Wang be free.
