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 628 630. One more person is missing
Li Cuicui, "Your elder brother originally wanted to send people back, but I stopped him."
Seeing Gu Wenheng's puzzled look, she explained, "Although your uncle and his family are gone, your cousin and his family are still in Lijia Village. They have been communicating with me in the past two years. I have asked them to keep an eye on it. I think if Le Huan is really found, we can get the news here."
It’s a pity that so much time has passed, and she doesn’t even dare to think deeply about some things, for fear that the child did not escape the disaster.
Gu Wenheng, "I will pack some things and send them to my cousins later. Thanks to their help, we brothers were able to grow up."
"No need, didn't you ask me to bring them a hundred taels of silver last time? Together with what I gave them before, it should be enough for them to recover.
The last time they wrote, they said they had already bought some good farmland, and their family was living a better life. They even sent their children to school.
This is already good enough. If it goes any further, I’m afraid they will lose their blessings.”
Gu Wenheng did not force it. As far as he could remember, the two uncles from the Li family had helped them a lot. Even when they were fleeing famine, the uncles sent them some food.
It wasn’t a long distance to begin with, so the mother and son arrived while chatting.
Looking at the servants guarding the door, Li Cuicui sighed again that her son was really different.
Gu Wenheng naturally tried to persuade her to stay, but Li Cuicui saw the fatigue in his eyes and said, "Go in and have a rest. I won't go in with you, so as not to wake the children up later."
"It's alright, once the child falls asleep, even thunder can't wake him up.
We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat for a while."
Li Cuicui, "Okay, we are all family, we can chat anytime.
Look at your tired face, why are you still following me here to show off?"
Having said this, Li Cuicui expressed her feelings with actions and turned around and walked back the way she came.
"Mom, I'll have someone take you back."
Li Cuicui didn't even turn around. "It's just a few steps into the village. There's no need to send people back and forth. Let's go in quickly!"
Gu Wenheng: "..." Then it's just these few steps, and you can take me back?
Starting from the next day, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian started to get busy.
Even if you live in the village, you go out early and come back late.
After paying respects to his mentor, he visited his classmates. After attending the banquet, he hosted a banquet for guests.
It was five days later when they finally stopped.
Looking at the huge family, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian couldn't help but sigh again, what a prosperous family it is.
The little radish has grown into a young man in the blink of an eye.
After recognizing a circle of them, Jin Qianqian felt like her head was swelling.
The newly-married daughter-in-law, the engaged younger couple, and the newly harvested radishes were all gathered together.
Xie Ruyi held her eldest grandson in her arms, leaned over and said to Jin Qianqian, "You and Old Seven won't go far this time, right? Otherwise, when you come back next time, they will all be married."
Jin Qianqian stretched out her hands to fiddle with her nephew in front of her, "It's really unclear.
But sister-in-law, you are really good at raising children. This child is really strong. "
Xie Ruyi said proudly, "That's right. I have never treated this kid unfairly since he was born. I have provided him with food and clothing."
Jin Qianqian, "...Sister-in-law, are you taking care of the child yourself?"
"How is this possible?" Xie Ruyi immediately understood what Jin Qianqian meant, "I won't do anything that's offensive. Your brother and I only care about giving you money, and we don't care about anything else.
In the future, no matter how many children the brothers have, they will all be treated the same, but they will have to raise them themselves."
Xie Ruyi patted her grandson as she spoke, "If this kid is going to be good at studying in the future, you and Old Seven will have to pay more attention to him."
Jin Qianqian also praised him, "That's great, his seventh grandfather will have a companion in the future, and he can help share the heavy responsibility on his shoulders."
Xie Yuewei straightened her back even more as she watched Jin Qianqian teasing her own child.
He felt even happier as he watched Song Xiuniang constantly twisting her handkerchief out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Wenheng caught a few children who were studying in private schools and tested them, and in the end he was inevitably disappointed.
No matter how much these children invest and work hard, they can probably only reach the level of a scholar at best. It is probably impossible for them to go any further.
The only one who makes sense is Gu Lehua's future husband, Tang Qingdong, who is a student from a neighboring village. Although he is not considered to be a top-notch talent, it is not impossible for him to become a juren if he works hard.
But this all depends on his future luck, Gu Wenheng would not point it out at this moment.
A few words of encouragement can be regarded as an acknowledgement of these children.
When Jin Qianqian saw several girls approaching her, she was a little hesitant to recognize them.
The domineering and selfish Gu Lehua in the past now looks like a graceful and elegant lady from a wealthy family.
Although there was some arrogance in his eyes, his etiquette was impeccable.
Liu Liu knew very well the character of his daughter. He had put in a lot of effort over the years to gradually turn her back to normal.
It's just that now her family conditions are good, and she's a rare girl in the Gu family, so she's popular in marriage, which is why she was able to find a future son-in-law like Tang Qingdong.
But the past events had left a deep impression on Jin Qianqian, and she simply couldn't like this girl. After giving her a few words of encouragement, she changed the subject.
As for Li Chuncao and Li Chunya, they seemed to know their situation in the Gu family. After greeting and receiving the gifts, they obediently stepped aside. However, Jin Qianqian could feel that Li Chuncao was frequently peeking over here.
Gu Yuanfeng's stepdaughter Shi Niuniu wanted to come closer, but was pulled back by Gu Yuanfeng, who warned her in a low voice.
Jin Qianqian told Gu Yuanfeng about her current situation from Liu Liu.
Ever since Shi Laiyun and Shi Dayong gave birth to her, there has been no movement in her belly.
In recent years, she felt that she had straightened her back after having a son, and she no longer wanted to put on a show for Shi Dayong's son and daughter.
Bringing his stepdaughter here this time was also Shi Dayong's request. His daughter is getting older, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to find a good in-law. If she can get a few words of verbal praise from Jin Qianqian, her future marriage will be smoother.
Although Gu Yuanfeng didn't get along with her sisters-in-law, she didn't want to bother with it for the sake of a stepdaughter who was not close to her.
From now on, this will be the confidence of her son Shi Laiyun, so she doesn't want to let this meaningless person share it.
Shi Niuniu's eyes were filled with anger, but she did not dare to speak rashly in front of so many members of the Gu family.
She only regretted that men and women were now in separate places, otherwise she really wanted to ask her father and brother to help her and let them see that this vicious woman was bullying her again.
"Seventh brother's sister-in-law, are you leaving again in a few days?" Wang Caiyue asked suddenly.
Jin Qianqian looked at her strangely. Everyone knew the news, so why did she ask? "Yes, I don't know where my husband will be appointed next. We have to go back to Shangjing and wait for news."
It’s almost the end of the month, my dears, don’t keep the money in your hands, throw it at me(_). (˙˙)
