Chapter 195 196. What’s your plan?

Gu Lejia was frightened by the ruthlessness in Gu Wenheng's tone and dared not refute, "Then can I find a job when I go back?"

Gu Wenheng spread his hands, "Isn't this your own business? If you have any questions, you can ask your parents. They will help you make the decision."

Gu Lejia: "..." Why didn't Uncle Qi pick up the conversation? How can we continue this topic?

Gu Wenheng saw Hong Da driving the carriage over and said, "If you don't want to go back, go write a letter yourself and I will bring it back for you, but I will order that the gate here will not be opened for you."

Knowing what this kid was up to, Gu Wenheng spoke more bluntly. He didn't care whether he would accept it or not, and directly stepped on the carriage stool and sat in the carriage, "Let's go!"

Watching the carriage going farther and farther away, Song Xiuniang, who was hiding in the corner, finally stood next to Gu Lejia.

"You heard everything, right? It seems you have to go back now." Gu Lejia glanced at her, lowered his head and stared at the ground in a daze.

"Is this really your uncle? How can he be so cold-blooded and heartless?

Aren't families supposed to help each other? What's more, you are uncle and nephew. I really can't bear to see you live a good life."

Hearing Song Xiuniang's accusation, Gu Lejia did not refute, "What should we do now?

The lease of the small courtyard we live in now is about to expire. You don't want to live on the street with me, do you? "

"How about we go find your Seventh Aunt? As long as we say some nice words to soften her heart, this matter will probably be done." Song Xiuniang's heart was burning with excitement when she thought of the mansion she had seen before.

"It's useless. I don't want to beg her." Gu Lejia looked at Xiuniang and asked, "How much silver do you have now?"

"What?" Xiuniang looked alert.

"What can I do? If I want to go back, I have to buy food and daily necessities on the way. I have to see if there is enough."

"Are you really going back? Are you going to leave my brother here alone?" Xiuniang said in disbelief. "Didn't you tell me before? You will live here in the future, and you can help me take care of my brother."

"How else can we take care of your brother? We have already separated him from your father and stepmother. As long as he works hard, he will not starve to death."

"Why do you say that?" Xiuniang said anxiously, "I don't care anyway. My brother has to be wherever I am."

Gu Lejia stretched out his hand and said, "Then give me the money I left with you first, and I'll look around to see if there's a place to rent."

"You really want to rent a house. Your seventh uncle has a yard that big. You can talk to him and my brother can live with us. That way, we can take care of each other in the future."

Gu Le’s family, “…” My uncle doesn’t even let me live here, so what kind of person is your brother?

But he didn't dare to say it out loud. "Tell me first, how much silver do you have? We have to plan for the future."

"No more," Xiuniang's eyes dodged, "My brother just divided the family property, so I gave him some money to buy some furniture."

Seeing Gu Lejia's unbelievable eyes, Song Xiuniang raised her voice a little, "Didn't you say it all? You will treat my brother as your own brother in the future. My brother is also slowly saving up for a wife in the future."

"He saved up the family fortune? But that was the money I worked so hard to earn, and you just gave it all to him?" Gu Lejia was so anxious that he kept turning in circles. "Then how are we going to live in the future?"

"I just thought that we have Uncle Seven and his family. It's impossible that they would not give a little of their delicious food and drinks to you, their nephew."

"Now that you've seen it and heard it with your own ears, what do you think we should do now?"

Song Xiuniang crossed her fingers in panic, "How should I know what to do?"

Gaoling Village

Li Cuicui looked at Gu Dashi who was still lying on the kang with an impatient look on her face. "They say it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You've been lying there for such a long time. It's already spring. Isn't it time to get up and help with some housework?"

Gu Dashi raised his hand with difficulty, "I want to get up, but I really can't."

Li Cuicui thought he was still playing rogue like last time, "You haven't even tried it, how do you know?

There are so many things to do at home and outside. I take care of you at home, and all the work in the fields is piled on me. Even if I had three heads and six arms, I would not be able to handle it.

Old man, we have been husband and wife for a lifetime, can't you be kind and stop torturing me a little bit?"

Gu Dashi's face turned red. "Do you think I don't want to move? I really can't move.

Last time, the doctor in the city said that I might have had a stroke. My leg has healed, but the disease in my body has not been eliminated. I am now weak all over and cannot move at all.

If you have the time to chat with me here, why don't you ask the boss to go get me a doctor?"

"How can the eldest brother and his family have the time? They are already too busy with farm work," Li Cuicui looked at him doubtfully, "How about I ask a few children to go to the next village and invite Doctor Liu over."

"What does that Liu guy know? He only has a headache and fever. You can ask the eldest brother to go to the county town to get a doctor for me. The seventh brother has given money anyway, so can you ask them to run errands? Isn't that okay?"

Li Cuicui pointed at him angrily and said, "Just keep doing it. How many times have you consulted a doctor since the beginning of the year?

And you have a greedy mouth. All the silver that the seventh brother gave you was either spent on your medical treatment or almost all of it was eaten up by you.

The county doctor came to see you before. He told you to sit up and exercise every day, but you listened! Look at you, you are twice as fat now. Your sons have become thin because of you. You don’t feel sorry for me, but you feel sorry for them.”

"It's not natural for you to serve me," Gu Dashi said with a look of disapproval, "Anyway, I can't move now, so either you call a doctor for me or don't disturb my sleep."

Li Cuicui gritted her teeth in anger, "Okay, do whatever you want."

As she said this, she angrily lifted the door curtain and walked out, just in time to meet Gu Yuanfeng who was walking out of the kitchen, holding her belly and holding the multi-grain cake in her mouth that she was going to take to the field later.

Seeing Li Cuicui bumping into him, Gu Yuanfeng grinned at him, "Mom, I'm hungry again."

Li Cuicui took a deep breath, grabbed a hoe from the corner, took the dry food prepared in the kitchen, and walked towards the field without looking back.

"Mom, you haven't given me lunch yet. What did Dad and I eat?" Gu Yuanfeng saw the empty bowls in the kitchen, held his stomach and asked anxiously.

"Eat whatever you want. There are wild vegetables everywhere outside. I wonder if you can pick some and bring them back. You're so old, are you still waiting for me to feed you?" Li Cuicui didn't even turn her head. She just wanted to go to the field to calm down. Even if it was a little harder, she didn't want to suffer at home.
