Chapter 67 Nothing Extra for You

Aunt Gu talked a lot about the Gu family, such as how Gu Yan’s eldest brother Gu Nian was very dissatisfied with his father giving money to Gu Bei to open a grocery store.

I feel that Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua are biased, and Gu Chongshan has arranged a marriage for Gu Chuan, saying that the wedding will take place before the New Year.

There was also Gu Mei from Uncle Gu's second family who lost face at the flower-viewing banquet at County Magistrate Wu's house. She actually wanted to marry the son of County Magistrate Wu and went to him to show her courtesy, but was ridiculed and fled in disgrace.

Now Gu Mei's reputation has been ruined, and your uncle and aunt Gu are anxious to find a husband for her.

Li Wanqing heard a lot of gossip and then sent Gu Xiaogu away.

They will go back tomorrow. She has made up her mind that she and Gu Yan will stay in the mountains for another two years. After they have children and the children grow up a little, they will move out completely.

As for why Li Wanqing wanted to live in the mountains even though she already had a farm, it was of course because Li Wanqing didn't want to live with her in-laws.

Although they said they had split up the family business, they couldn't stop Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua from coming to live with their son.

If it were only Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua, it would be fine, Li Wanqing could also accept it.

But there are still unmarried brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law in the family. If my parents-in-law come over, do they have to come with them?

There are also the eldest uncle and the second uncle. The father-in-law values ​​the eldest son, and the mother-in-law is worried about the second son. Li Wanqing is afraid that her family will have troubles in the future.

That's why Li Wanqing thought about living in the mountains for a few years. After all, they could come out whenever they wanted.

And another advantage of living in the mountains is that they can dig medicinal herbs and sell them.

The deep mountains are rich in resources and there are countless good medicinal herbs. They can make a lot of money by digging a little bit.

There are also various wild fruits, nuts, mushrooms and fungus, and you can get as much as you want.

To be honest, life in the mountains is not difficult, and Li Wanqing still likes it very much.

When Gu Yan came back in the evening, Li Wanqing told him that Gu Xiaogu had come again and that Dazhuang had come back to work.

Gu Yan nodded to show that he understood, and then talked about the matter of the farm in Qingshui Town.

"The farm over there is quite good, and the tenants take good care of the land, so there will definitely be a good harvest in the autumn.

Have a good time this time, I just need to come over and keep an eye on it during the autumn harvest, when are we going back?" Gu Yan was used to living in the mountains, and he really missed home after being out for such a long time.

"We'll go back tomorrow. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's still cooler in the mountains." Li Wanqing said.

"Okay, I'll go pack up. We'll go back tomorrow and come back for the autumn harvest. Is there anything else you want to buy?" Gu Yan said.

"Go catch a few chickens. I want to raise a few in the space so that we don't have to worry about eggs. There's nothing else." Li Wanqing said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll let Lin Mu catch them tomorrow. Ten will be enough, right?" Gu Yan agreed.

"That's enough. We don't eat eggs every day. By the way, what should we do with the carriage when we go back? We can't take it back with us, right?" Li Wanqing said, thinking that she had already got the carriage.

"Didn't you tell others that the carriage was borrowed? It's just right that we can pull the things to a deserted place at the foot of the mountain and put them into the space." Gu Yan had already thought about it. He was not at ease leaving the carriage in the farm.

It just so happened that the day before yesterday, in order to fool her aunt and the others, Li Wanqing said that the carriage was borrowed and that it should be returned. Since it was borrowed, wouldn’t it be reasonable to return it?

The next day, Gu Yan asked Lin Mu to catch a chicken and gave Lin Mu some instructions. Then the two of them drove the carriage out of the farm and went home.

After returning home, he cleaned up the cave inside and out and replanted the abandoned vegetable garden.

All the bedding in the room was taken out to dry in the sun.

All the pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen were re-scalded with hot water, and the two of them worked hard for nearly a whole day to clean the house.

Both of them were tired, so they ate two donkey meat buns and drank a bowl of tofu pudding before going to bed.

The next day, Li Wanqing and Gu Yan went to her parents-in-law's house with their belongings.

"Mom and Dad, you are all here? Fourth brother and Gu Xiang haven't gone out either?" The whole family was there when Gu Yan and the others arrived.

Gu Chongshan was sharpening the arrowheads for his hunting bow, Zhang Dahua and Gu Xiang were mending clothes, and Gu Chuan was chopping firewood.

When they saw Gu Yan and the others coming, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Third brother, you are here? What have you been doing these days? I asked fourth brother to look for you twice, but you were not at home?" Gu Chongshan said dissatisfiedly.

"I went to the provincial capital and just came back yesterday. Today I came to see you and my mother." Gu Yan said.

"Third brother, did you go to the provincial capital? Is it fun in the provincial capital?" Gu Chuan came over and asked.

"Well, I went to run an errand for someone else." Gu Yan said.

"Running errands for others? Third brother, you're not a child anymore. Now that you're married, you should focus on hunting and supporting your family instead of running around all day.

Tell me, have you ever taken hunting seriously since you got married?

"If you don't work hard now, what will you eat when the mountains are covered with snow in winter? I tell you, don't come to me when the time comes. I don't have anything extra to give you," Gu Chongshan said with a droopy face.

Gu Chongshan might have good intentions, as he was worried that Gu Yan and Li Wanqing would have nothing to eat during the winter.

But what he said made Gu Yan feel very uncomfortable. He knew that his parents were partial to him, and he also knew that his parents did not have deep feelings for him.

But he didn't expect his father to be so cruel and actually said he would not help him. Although he knew he would not be without food in the winter, he would not ask his parents for help.

After seeing his parents' cruelty to him and comparing it with their attitude of helping his second brother Gu Bei even at the cost of borrowing money, Gu Yan once again gave up on his parents.

"Don't worry, I would rather starve to death than come to your door. Wanqing, let's go back." Gu Yan stood up angrily.

Li Wanqing was taking out the velvet flower she brought for Gu Xiang.

"Gu Xiang, these are the velvet flowers I brought back from the provincial capital. I bought them especially for you." Li Wanqing took out two velvet flowers and handed them to Gu Xiang.

"Oh, this velvet flower is so beautiful, thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Gu Xiang held the velvet flower and gestured happily on her head.

"You're welcome, mother. This is a piece of cloth I bought for you. Make a coat for yourself.

"These are snacks from the capital city, brought back specially for you to try. This is the good wine that Gu Yan bought for Dad..." Li Wanqing was taking out the things they brought one by one.

But before she could finish taking it, she heard Gu Chongshan's words.

Li Wanqing was so angry that she wanted to put back the things she had taken out.

What kind of people are these? They went out for a while, and came to give them something with good intentions, but now they are afraid that they will have nothing to eat in the winter and come to ask for money.

Li Wanqing was so angry that she put the wine back into the basket and followed Gu Yan back.
