Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival ...
Chapter 302 Chapter 303. Making Trouble
If this wasn't his biological father, Gu Yuanshui didn't think he had the time to chat with him.
Fortunately, the man finally listened to my advice and walked home with his hands behind his back. "Then I have to go back and take care of it, so that your mother, a woman, won't have trouble greeting the guests."
Gu Yuanshui made such a suggestion because he was not afraid that he would cause trouble. These days, the brothers would take turns to greet guests in Gu Wenheng's yard, and the elders of the clan were also watching there. Even if he wanted to make trouble, he would have to think twice.
"Mom, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Does the seventh brother really have that much ability?" Gu Yuanfeng stood next to Li Cuicui, holding her precious son in his arms.
Li Cuicui was too lazy to answer his question. Whether he had the ability or not, the seventh brother had already become the top scholar.
He glanced at the child in her arms and said, "Laicai is already so big now. Don't hold him in your arms all day. Let him get down and walk around."
Gu Yuanfeng, "I'm afraid he'll get bumped into something. Besides, I have nothing to do right now, so I'll just hug him more."
Liu Liu couldn't help but say something for the sake of the child, "It's inevitable that this child will get bumped into something. Just cry for a while and he'll be fine."
I remember your child is already over one year old, right? Normally he can run around, but you can’t spoil him like this.”
"Fourth sister-in-law, our Laicai is relatively weak. Wait until he is a little older before giving him the baby." Gu Yuanfeng no longer dared to raise his eyebrows and glare at his sisters-in-law as he did before. There was even gratitude in his smile.
Seeing that her attitude was okay, Liu Liu couldn't help but remind her, "The boys in our family have all grown up through bumps and bruises, and now they are all tall and strong."
Li Cuicui also felt that what her daughter-in-law said made sense, "You should ask the mother-in-law to take the child to the backyard to play, instead of holding him in her arms all day long."
Gu Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still handed the child to Mrs. Song.
Who would have thought that the child would start crying loudly as soon as he landed in Mrs. Song's arms.
Gu Yuanfeng quickly picked up the child and held him close to himself, patting and coaxing him, and finally the child calmed down. "This child is too clingy, I'd better hold him myself."
Just as Li Cuicui was about to lecture her a few more times, there was a noise coming from the door. Upon hearing the noise, Gu Yuanfeng's face changed completely.
When everyone came outside, they found that the front of the house was already surrounded by people, and the servants were stopping the He family.
Seeing Gu Yuanfeng appear, He Tuping looked at her blankly. After these few years of good life, Gu Yuanfeng was no longer the skinny, haggard-faced village woman.
Now Gu Yuanfeng's face was round and smooth, and she looked particularly fair and plump since she hadn't been in the field. She looked even more charming than when she first married into the He family.
He Tuping was already filled with remorse. This should have been his wife and the mother of his children, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to see her now.
"Chuncao, don't you and your sister want to meet your mother?" The moment the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gu family came out, He Zhou felt that this family was rich from head to toe. If it weren't for the similar faces, she wouldn't have believed that these were her former in-laws.
Pushing the two children forward, he said, "Hurry up and go over there. What are you standing here for? They are your mother and grandmother. How could they deny you?"
He Chuncao timidly looked at Gu Yuanfeng, who looked familiar yet unfamiliar, and nervously held his hand, but did not dare to take a step forward.
However, the little girl Nini next to them stared at Li Cuicui and the others curiously, thinking that their clothes were very beautiful.
Li Cuicui looked at the two little girls and her heart softened. She walked over and touched He Chuncao's head, "Why hasn't this child grown at all? Can't your He family even have room for a child?"
He Zhou said, "My dear relatives, this family is so poor that we can barely afford to eat. We are lucky to be alive. How can we have extra food to feed a child?"
The He family's life was much worse than before. On the way to escape famine, their cow died of thirst.
The eldest brother was beaten with a big stick by Prefect Xiao, which injured his body and made it impossible for him to work as a peddler as before.
Now the whole family depends on Tuping as the only laborer, plus some savings left over from before, and they can barely make ends meet.
"Don't shout. We are not relatives now." Li Cuicui said coldly.
"What do you mean by coming to my house to make trouble? Don't you know that we have a happy event?"
"We brought the children here to congratulate them. After all, the top scholar is the uncle of these two children.
I didn't expect these people to drive us out of the village when they saw us. This is not acceptable. After all, these two children also have the blood of your Gu family flowing in their veins." He Zhou pointed at the two children and said confidently.
Li Cuicui turned around and glared at Gu Yuanfeng, scaring Gu Yuanfeng so much that he quickly shrank back.
As for He Tuping's scorching gaze, Gu Yuanfeng curled his lips in disdain, somewhat regretting why he didn't jump out of that pit earlier.
Although she was married for the second time, she had no parents-in-law to serve, her husband was considerate and protective, and now she had the son she had always dreamed of. She would have to be stupid to continue to like He Tuping.
"Mom," He Chuncao couldn't help but called out timidly, but she found that Gu Yuanfeng actually quietly retreated without giving her any response.
The courage I had mustered with great difficulty collapsed in an instant.
She grabbed her sister's hand, lowered her head stubbornly, and no longer looked at anyone.
When Li Cuicui saw this scene, she sighed secretly. The Sixth Old Girl was still as selfish as before. After all, the two girls in front of her were her own flesh and blood, but this mother didn't care about them at all and didn't even look at them.
"It was agreed at the time that the He family would keep these two children," Li Cuicui didn't want to get involved with them at this time, "The divorce agreement was also written very clearly at the time. There will be no relationship between the two families in the future. You can take the children back!"
"You can't count it that way," He Tuliang limped forward a few steps, "Even if we're divorced, it doesn't mean we won't have any contact with our mother.
Now that my brother and sister-in-law are doing better, can't they help out the two children?"
Gu Yuanfeng, "The two children's surnames are He, not Gu, and you were the ones who wanted to take the children back home, so you can't find me now."
"As expected, you are such a cruel woman." He Zhou sat on the ground and cried, "You are so rich that you despise us for being poor.
He even ignored his own daughter. Is this the family tradition of the top scholar?"
Li Cuicui's face changed, "If you keep making trouble like this, I will send you to the police.
It was written in black and white that your He family must have the children. If you regret it now, we can go to the government to sign a contract. The two children will belong to my family and our surname will be changed. This way you won't have to worry about raising them in vain.
Don't worry, we won't come to your door like you did."
