Chapter 192 Returning Home

Both Gu Yan and Li Wanqing felt that they would not have much interaction with Gu Xiang in the future.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiang did not visit Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahahua after returning home for three days, but came to their place.

Li Wanqing was completely speechless.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Gu Xiang and Guo Erlang came to the door carrying things.

"Why are you here? Aren't we going to visit our parents today?" Li Wanqing looked at the two of them curiously and asked.

"The mountains are too far away to walk back and forth in a day, so Erlang and I decided to go back to my third brother and his wife's house.

"My third brother and his wife's family are also my parents' family, right?" Gu Xiang said with an apologetic smile.

Of course, Gu Xiang also wanted to go back to the mountains to see her parents, but Guo Erlang had been brainwashing her since yesterday.

Guo Erlang said: "My wife, where are we going back to tomorrow?"

"Of course we should go back to the mountains? My parents will definitely be waiting for us to go back tomorrow." Gu Xiang didn't understand why Erlang asked this.

"It's not customary to stay overnight at your parents' home when you visit them. We definitely won't be able to come back after a day." Guo Erlang said.

Gu Xiang thought so too, but what would happen to her parents if she didn't go back? How could she not go back to her parents' home after getting married for three days?

"What should I do? People will laugh at me if I don't go back." Gu Xiang was at a loss.

Guo Erlang was waiting for her to say this, and immediately offered advice: "You must return home, otherwise your sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law will look down on you.

We can't go back to the mountains, but we can go to your third brother's house. You were married in his family, so it makes sense for you to go back to his family."

"My third brother and his family don't live in the village, they went back to the county town a long time ago.

"Why don't we go to my second brother's house? He lives in Liuli Lane, not far from our house." Gu Xiang said.

To be honest, Gu Xiang was reluctant to go back to Gu Yan's house, and her feelings for Gu Yan were not as deep as those for her other brothers.

When Gu Yan returned to his parents, Gu Xiang was already five years old. She was neither old nor young. Although she was ignorant, she could remember things.

Although she never verbally bullied the brother who suddenly appeared in the family, she still rejected him in her heart.

Actually, now that I think about it, the third brother was quite good to her. After selling the prey, he would buy her delicious snacks and also buy her a hairband.

Maybe Gu Yan wanted to be accepted by his brothers and sisters, or maybe Gu Yan wanted his parents to treat him the same as his brothers and sisters.

Anyway, in the first one or two years after he came back, Gu Yan was really wholeheartedly good to them.

Moreover, Gu Yan is also capable. His hunting skills are better than those of his brothers. He brought back a lot of silver in those two years.

Since when did the third brother change?

Yes, she remembered it very clearly. It was during the Chinese New Year of that year that the family became wealthy because of the income from her third brother’s hunting.

Their parents made a new piece of clothing for each of their children, but there was no one for their third brother. Gu Xiang still remembers the look in his eyes at that time.

I was young before and didn’t think much of it. Now I think that was when my third brother started to be disappointed in them.

Later, many things happened, and gradually the third brother became more and more distant from them.

They didn't care at the time, but now think that although they were just small things, when small things accumulate together, they are no longer small things.

Although Gu Xiang finally figured it out, the damage had already been done. Even if she wanted to get close to her third brother, he would not accept it.

So Gu Xiang wanted to go back to her second brother's house. What's more, Gu Bei was the matchmaker between the two of them, so it would definitely be more appropriate to go to her second brother's house.

But Guo Erlang didn't know what she was thinking. He married Gu Xiang because of Gu Yan, so how could he listen to Gu Xiang and go back to Gu Bei's house?

"No, your second brother is nearby, can't we go there anytime?

On the contrary, we should take the opportunity to visit Third Brother when we return home.

My dear, you don't know yet, do you? Your third brother not only has a farm, he also has a house and a shop in the county town.

You know, I've never had a proper livelihood, so I'm thinking of opening a shop in the county town. What do you think?" Guo Erlang glanced at Gu Xiang's face and cautiously tested her.

"What? My third brother has a shop in the county town?

I know that my third brother has a house in the county town. After all, they usually live in the county town, and my nephew also goes to school in the county town.

But how could my third brother have a shop? I haven't heard that my third brother does business? Gu Xiang was completely stunned by the fact that Gu Yan had a shop.

"Third brother doesn't run his own business, he rents out all his shops.

Not only in the county town, I heard that Third Brother also has a shop in the provincial capital, and it's all rented out." Guo Erlang had gone to the county town to inquire.

Gu Yan did not hide the fact that he bought a shop, and you can still find out if you ask carefully.

"What? The provincial capital? Impossible. Why would my third brother go to the provincial capital to buy a shop for no reason?" Gu Xiang said in disbelief.

"I also heard it from the guy in the medicine shop. He said it seemed that your third brother had dug up a precious medicinal herb.

The owner of the medicine shop traded the herbs from his shop in the capital for him." Guo Erlang said uncertainly.

"Exchanged it with medicinal herbs? That's really possible. My third brother knows about medicinal herbs and goes back every year to dig them for money." Gu Xiang suddenly realized that it would make sense if it was exchanged with medicinal herbs.

"Can you really make money by digging medicinal herbs? Do you know how to do it?" Guo Erlang thought it would be great if Gu Xiang also knew about medicinal herbs.

In this way, even if they cannot open a shop, they can still make money by digging medicinal herbs.

"No, my third brother won't teach me. At first, my eldest brother and his friends also wanted to go herb picking with me.

But my third brother refused, even when my parents came forward, he still refused." Gu Xiang said.

"Your parents went to talk to Third Brother and he refused? Then Third Brother is really too unkind?

After all, they are brothers and sisters. Isn't it right for him to help his brothers when he becomes successful? "Guo Erlang said.

What Guo Erlang said was not wrong. The clan concept was very strong in ancient times. In some places, the words of the clan leader were even more effective than those of the government.

"Well, my third brother said that the skill of picking herbs belongs to my third sister-in-law, which is equivalent to her dowry. There is no reason for our family to worry about her dowry." Gu Xiang said.

"Your third sister-in-law is a member of your family now that she has married into your family. There is no need to talk about dowry or not.

I think your third brother is using this as an excuse not to teach you." Guo Erlang said indignantly.

"We know that too, but this is Third Brother's specialty. There's nothing we can do if he doesn't agree." Gu Xiang said helplessly.

They are not stupid, of course they know that Third Brother just doesn't want to teach them.

But what could they do? The third brother had no feelings for them and didn't want to help them.

Even if they persuaded their parents to come forward, it was useless and they gave up.

But Guo Erlang didn't know this. He was still thinking about how to get Gu Yan to teach him how to pick herbs.
