Chapter 25 Heavy rain is good weather
Hearing this, Gu Ruihuai was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Gu Yuehuai cooked one less bowl of rice, but it was not just to make things difficult for him?
Gu Xihuai also looked at Gu Yuehuai in surprise, and did not say any affectionate words, but the coldness between his eyebrows had faded a lot, and he looked less distant.
Gu Yuehuai glanced through the window at the heavy rain outside and said, "You guys eat, I'll go back to my room and take a nap."
After saying that, she went back to the room and closed the door without waiting for anyone to speak.
Gu Xihuai pulled Gu Ruihuai onto the kang, sat in front of the table, lowered his head to look at the noodles in the bowl, and said in a clear voice: "I didn't know Yuehuai's cooking skills were so good before, and a bowl of bean noodles could be made so fragrant."
He glanced at Gu Ruihuai who was keeping his eyes down and not saying anything: "Try it quickly. You must be regretting eating less braised pork at noon, right?"
Gu Zhifeng rolled her eyes and said, "Humph, you are so stubborn. Is it worth it to make things so awkward with your daughter just for an outsider? Let me tell you, if you are so biased, I will not allow Tian Jing to marry into our family, so that she won't bully my daughter."
Hearing this, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table.
Gu Tinghuai's mouth twitched, and he felt that his father's IQ was not enough. At this time, he said all these nonsense, which was just to add fuel to the fire between the second son and the daughter. It would be strange if the relationship between the two could be good.
As expected, Gu Ruihuai, who was originally feeling a little regretful, sneered when he heard this.
"Who cares if you agree? You only have the heartless Gu Yuehuai in your eyes and heart, how can you see us? Dad, who is biased? You are so sincere to her, but she only wants to go to the city to find that woman!"
"Old Gu, I really feel sorry for you. I just cooked two meals for you, and you are so confused by these small favors? I tell you, you are fooling me, but I am not!"
"Gu Yuehuai is a dog that can't change its bad habits! She wants to buy me off with a little favor? You're dreaming!"
"You guys eat this meal. I'm afraid she'll poison it!"
After saying these sarcastic words, Gu Ruihuai got off the kang and went back to the inner room.
Gu Zhifeng was so angry that his face turned blue. He wanted to curse a few times, but he didn't yell out loud because he was concerned about Gu Yuehuai who was resting in the room. He covered his chest, gasped, and uttered "rebellious son... rebellious son..."
"Dad!" Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai's faces changed and they hurried forward to help him calm down.
"Shh - don't scare Nannan." Gu Zhifeng waved his hand, turned his head and looked at the quiet room, he breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his cough, shook his head and said, "It's unfortunate for our family."
After hearing this, Gu Xihuai felt that he had to say a few words in defense of his class comrade, his second brother.
He said calmly: "Dad, this is what my grandfather said to you when you were young, right? But I have to be fair, the reason why second brother is like this is because Yue Huai is confused, so it's not second brother's fault."
Gu Zhifeng's face turned red and her neck became thick again because of the third brother's words, and her throat was wheezing like a broken bellows.
Gu Tinghuai frowned and whispered, "That's enough! Do you still think Dad is in too good a health?"
Although he was usually gentle to others, didn't like to argue with others, and always took the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, he was still very angry. Gu Xihuai didn't dare to say anything.
In the dead silence, Gu Zhifeng's heavy and resolute voice rang out:
"I don't care what you think. Nannan will always be my daughter. As long as I am here, I will not let her go hungry or suffer. If you and Lao Er really can't stand Nannan, then don't recognize me as your father from now on."
After saying that, Gu Zhifeng closed his eyes, looking stubborn.
Gu Xihuai was slightly surprised.
Although he had long known that Gu Yuehuai was more important to his father than the three of them combined, he had never said such harsh words. The atmosphere fell silent again for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.
*
It was raining heavily outside, making crackling sounds, but Gu Yuehuai was unaware of the quarrel outside.
She sat by the window, looking at the dark weather outside, with a cool smile on her face.
Today is a really good day.
She sat by the window like this, time passed by minute by minute, until her body became a little stiff, then she stood up, moved her numb legs, carefully opened the door and took a look. The room outside was darker than outside the house, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her.
At that time, clocks were only available in big cities, and farmers in the villages could only tell time by looking at the sun and roughly calculating the time.
She didn't know what time it was, but there were very few families in the village who were willing to light kerosene lamps, and it was raining heavily outside, so no one would go out.
It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson.
She didn't mean to kill anyone, but the sound of rain could cover up the sound of the hoe. It was the perfect time to go behind the house to dig for gold, silver and antiques, and it wouldn't attract Tian Jing's attention.
Thinking of this, she went out in the dark, found a hoe and a raincoat in the grocery room, looked at the world silent in the sound of wind and rain, picked up the hoe and went to the back of the house, and with the help of the light of lightning and thunder, she determined the address and started to work with the hoe.
She remembered that the four red lacquered wooden boxes dug out at that time were buried very shallowly, otherwise Tian Jing would not have discovered the clues.
Gu Yuehuai was stronger than an ordinary woman. She dug the hoe a few times in one direction and soon hit something hard, making a "clang" sound, which hurt her palm.
Her eyes lit up, she half squatted down and touched it, and when she touched the smooth lacquered wooden surface of the box, she almost cried for joy.
She regarded the things left by the ancestors of the Gu family as the first step to change. If Tian Jing unfortunately still got them, or if things in this life went wrong and there was no treasure at all, she would undoubtedly take many detours. Fortunately, God favored her!
Now that it has been determined, all that’s left is to put in the effort.
Gu Yuehuai was determined and tried her best to dig the wooden box. The rain seeped into the soil, making the originally dry and cracked land much softer, saving her a lot of effort.
As time went by, the rain got heavier and heavier, hitting people's faces painfully.
Gu Yuehuai wiped the tears from his eyes from time to time. About two hours later, all the boxes were dug out.
She looked at the four wooden boxes that reached her knees, half squatted down, gritted her teeth and lifted one up. She didn't know what was inside, but it made a tinkling sound. The box was very heavy and she had a lot of effort to lift it.
However, even so, she had to move all the boxes back to her house as soon as possible, and fill up the area behind the house with soil to prevent anyone from noticing the strangeness here.
Gu Yuehuai moved the wooden box with great effort. Although his steps were heavy, his movements were cautious and careful, for fear of disturbing the people in the house.
Father, eldest brother and third brother were fine, they would not tell anyone. But if second brother knew, she was afraid that he would be unreliable and would forget about it and run to tell Tian Jing, after all, he was still a "licking dog".
Once Tian Jing knew about this, all her efforts would be in vain. Once reported, she would inevitably be accused of "hiding state property".
By then, Tian Jing would definitely be praised for reporting the "criminal" and recovering the "state property", and might even be assigned a job like in her previous life.
Thinking of the consequences, Gu Yuehuai moved more gently.
However, as soon as she entered the room, she heard a muffled cry: "Nannan?"
