Chapter 366 367. Go with You

Gu Yuanshui laughed and said, "The one who understands me best is my mother."

Li Cuicui slapped his arm and said, "Don't think that just because you have attended a few classes with the scholar, you can show off your knowledge in front of me. Tell me the truth, what do you think?"

Gu Yuanshui looked at the other brothers and said, "Mom, you see, our tofu is well-known around here, but after all, this place is so small, and the novelty has worn off, so the sales are not as good as before.

Now the Seventh Brother should have established himself in Shangjing, so I thought about going over to see if I could open a tofu processing workshop there, so that we brothers wouldn’t have to stare at this place all day long.”

"Will this cause trouble for Old Seven and the others?" Li Cuicui frowned immediately. "We are doing pretty well now. Everyone in this ten-mile radius would envy our current life. There's no need to go out and make trouble."

"Mother..." Gu Yuanshui stretched out his tone, and Li Cuicui slapped him again, then he said with a smile, "I just went over to take a look first. Besides, I am doing my job honestly, not trying to be sneaky and do something by relying on the power of the Seventh Brother.

As long as things don't work out, I'll just go out and see the world, and come back to compete with my brothers for business."

Gu Yuanjin snorted, "If you want to find a way to make money, don't make yourself sound so great. If someone doesn't know, they might think we are excluding you."

"Brother," Gu Yuanshui put his hands together, "I was just making an analogy just now. Besides, we have already divided the land, so I can't grab it even if I want to."

"Fourth brother, the old patriarch will not agree to your going to the capital." Gu Yuantu, who has always been honest and doesn't like to speak, also spoke.

Now everyone in the village knows that the old patriarch has taken a fancy to Gu Yuanshui and wants him to succeed him as the next patriarch.

Gu Yuanshui, "Old Five, you are still so unpopular, and you stab Fourth Brother with a knife as soon as you open your mouth.

Growing up with Fourth Brother, do you think I would be interested in the position of clan leader now?

The world outside is so beautiful, I don’t want to stay in the village and worry about everything.

Besides, there are many people in the clan who are more suitable than me, and I have no interest in you at all. If you say that again next time, don’t blame me for getting angry.”

Li Cuicui patted his back hard at this time. Gu Yuanshui, feeling the pain, immediately moved away from his mother and said, "Mom, I am your biological child."

"If he wasn't my biological son, I wouldn't bother to do anything. Our family couldn't even dream of the position of clan leader before, and now you dare to push him away?" Li Cuicui couldn't understand. Doesn't this child know what the clan leader represents?

Gu Yuanshui looked around at everyone in the hall and found that everyone was looking at him disapprovingly. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have the same idea as mother?"

Seeing all the family members nodding, Gu Yuanshui let out a long sigh and drove all the servants away.

“Now that there are no outsiders here, I will only say it once and everyone should just listen and not speak.

Don't be misled by the position of clan leader. For our family, anyone who can take this position is more suitable than me."

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, he continued, "Seventh brother now has a bright future. Not long ago, he has been promoted to the fifth rank. He is the only capable person in our clan who has left.

Do you think that in the future, all matters big and small in the clan will depend on Seventh Brother to be the backer?"

Everyone nodded silently, "..." Let's see what you, the fourth brother, can come up with.

"I am the elder brother of the seventh brother. If I become the clan leader, will everyone be more unscrupulous in asking for this and that?

In order to save yourself the trouble, will you bother Old Seven again and again in the future?"

Everyone seemed to be thinking, “…” This is really possible.

Gu Yuanshui picked up the unfinished tea and drank it all in one gulp. "This will invisibly drag down Old Seven. By then, our family will have been contributing to the clan all the time, and we may not be able to get anything good in the end. After all, no one will cherish what is easily obtained."

Li Cuicui couldn't sit still anymore, "Old Four's words make sense, then we won't be the clan leader anymore. I didn't expect that Third Uncle was also plotting against us."

Hearing the displeasure in Li Cuicui's tone, Gu Yuanshui quickly tried to make amends, "Mother, you misunderstood Third Grandpa. He only cared about the good of the clan members and had not thought of this for the time being.

But even if he thought about it, for the sake of most of the tribesmen, he would only put the seventh brother, who has outstanding abilities, in the wronged position.

If I were the chief of this clan, I would definitely have the same idea. "

"Then he is not worthy of being the clan leader," Gu Yuantu also understood.

"You are not worthy of this," Li Cuicui suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "Pack up, and we will go to the capital together in two days."

Gu Yuanshui quietly made a victory gesture towards his brothers. He had managed to deal with the most difficult mother.

"Mom, I'll go with you too."

"Grandma, I'll go with you too."

Li Cuicui didn't want to pay any attention to them at all. Why did so many people follow her?

She looked at Gu Yuanjin and his wife at this time, "Go and tell Le's wife to write a letter back to her brother from her mother's family and stop jumping around all the time.

It’s not like the Le family didn’t give a betrothal gift at the time. If his brother continues to make trouble and affects the seventh brother, don’t blame me, an old woman, for stepping in.”

Xie Ruyi, "Mom, I want the Le family to divorce my wife. She has been with the Le family for so long, but she still has no reaction in her belly. She also makes trouble at home all day long. If I hadn't separated them long ago, I would have been unable to bear it."

"Nonsense," Li Cuicui stopped her, "You have forgotten our clan rules. Having no children is not an excuse for divorcing your wife. Besides, they are still young. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xie Ruyi pursed her lips and stood aside, "What a terrible wife he married. He can't divorce her now."

Li Cuicui said faintly, "I have experienced all these things, why can't you bear it when it happens to you?

Besides, you only have two daughters-in-law, but I have to deal with seven.”

Xie Ruyi and the others also recalled some of the unreliable things they did when they were young, and their faces flushed.

The old lady's words were really heartbreaking. She brought up their old grievances again. After such a comparison, it seemed that the Le family's daughter-in-law was not that bad after all.

Li Cuicui didn't care about all that. Now that she had finished reading the letter and discussing the matter, she waved her hand and let them all go.

Gu Lehuan waited until everyone had left before he found Li Cuicui.

"Didn't you just come back from Shangjing? Why do you want to go there again?" Li Cuicui looked up at him, "Haven't you and your father been helping your uncle deliver tofu recently? Can you get away from there?"

Gu Lehuan, "My brother can take over for a while, grandma, I really have something important to do, so please take me with you."

Li Cuicui looked at her grandson and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

Thank you all for your votes. Without your support I can persevere. I wish you all the best and a safe life!
