Chapter 60: Second Brother Will Become Their Enemy
"Go ahead, he is our second brother after all." Gu Xiaoxi asked his third brother to open the door.
Chai didn't want to see her son, so she went to the kitchen carrying a small basket.
Gu He didn't want to be upset, so he followed his wife.
After Gu Ximing came in, he looked around. The backyard had been renovated, and the doors of two rooms had been replaced, but nothing else had changed.
Seeing his second brother looking around, Gu Nanming lazily said, "My uncle helped with the repairs."
"That's great. This way Xiaoxi will have a place to live and you don't have to sleep on the floor." Gu Ximing still felt sorry for his younger brother.
When Gu Nanming heard his second brother's concern, he grabbed him.
"Second brother, leave that woman. She is no longer the sister-in-law you used to be." Gu Nanming was worried that his second brother would become their enemy one day.
Gu Ximing knew that his wife’s change was difficult for his family to accept, but he just smiled and said nothing?
The two of them came to the front yard and saw a lot of thorn balls on the ground. He knew that his wife had guessed right and the family was indeed in the chestnut business.
"Second brother, is there anything wrong?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
Gu Ximing came back to his senses, looked at his sister and said slowly, "Nothing happened. I just wanted to come over and tell you that my uncle has fixed our kitchen. Don't worry, Mom and Dad."
Gu Xiaoxi found that his second brother spoke very calmly and had no special expression when he lied.
"I'll talk to my parents later." Gu Nanming said.
Gu Dongming glanced at his second brother and said seriously, "I don't care whether you want to continue living with that crazy woman, but I hope you don't lose your conscience."
"Brother, I..." Gu Ximing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going back."
After he finished speaking, he hurried to the backyard.
Gu Nanming frowned and followed his second brother to the backyard door.
The door opened and Gu Nanming walked out. Standing at the door, he looked back at his third brother with sadness in his eyes.
Gu Nanming met his third brother's eyes and his heart trembled.
Gu Ximing smiled slightly, turned and left.
Gu Nanming stood at the door for a long time before closing the door and going back to the yard to work.
Seeing that his third brother was distracted, Gu Xiaoxi asked in a low voice, "What did his second brother say to you?"
"He didn't say anything, but he looked at me strangely." Gu Nanming said.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard what her third brother said, her heart sank.
Obviously, the second brother made a choice and decided to give everything for the second sister-in-law.
Why……
Since she couldn't force it, she hoped her second brother could leave himself a way out.
Gu Nanming didn't know what his sister was thinking, and he felt uncomfortable the whole night.
They were busy until very late that night, and Gu An followed the advice and stayed here.
The next morning, in order to prevent Mrs. Mo from hearing any noise, they carried the backpack to the intersection so that Mrs. Mo would not hear the sound of the ox cart.
However, in order to confirm his guess, Mrs. Mo did not sleep in the second half of the night.
Hearing some noise over there, she opened the door and followed out.
Seeing them walking forward carrying a lot of chestnuts, she followed them out carefully.
Seeing the ox cart moving, she jogged to catch up unwillingly.
When she reached the main road, she stopped a carriage going to the city.
A horse-drawn carriage was faster than an ox-drawn carriage, so she first went to the city and found a place to hide.
Seeing the ox cart that Gu Xiaoxi and the others were riding in enter the city, she carefully followed it.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that the Mo family would be so capable. They sold chestnuts as usual.
Today, she promised to teach Mrs. Tan how to make three-fresh porridge. As soon as the porridge was made, customers came to try it.
Mrs. Tan and her husband watched the guests eat with gusto, so they tried some themselves. It didn't have the fishy smell she had imagined, but was particularly delicious.
"It's delicious, really delicious!" She nodded repeatedly.
"Come, I'll teach you how to make it, but you have to treat us to lunch." Gu Xiaoxi said jokingly.
"This is a must." Mrs. Tan nodded repeatedly.
Gu Xiaoxi taught Mrs. Tan how to make three-fresh porridge over and over again. Mrs. Tan was quite talented, and after making three pots, the taste became somewhat similar.
Of course, she couldn't bear to throw away the wasteful three-fresh porridge, so she put it in a big bowl and went home to eat it with her husband in the evening.
At noon, when Chen Qinian and others came over, they also tasted the new food.
Men of this age usually have a big appetite. If one bowl is not enough, then have two bowls.
Gu Xiaoxi was busy for the whole afternoon, and she only stopped when all the students returned to the academy.
By the time the academy started classes, their chestnuts were sold out.
"Come, come, sit down, let's eat too." Mrs. Tan invited the brothers and sisters to sit down. In addition to cooking a big pot of three-fresh porridge, she also fried two dishes. Everyone sat down together to have lunch.
Mrs. Tan is a very good cook and both dishes she cooked were delicious.
"Mrs. Tan, your cooking skills are so good, it would be a waste of your talent to open a small stall." Gu Xiaoxi thought the food was delicious.
"Sister, you're joking. We are very satisfied to be able to set up a stall here." Mrs. Tan said sincerely.
It is not easy to find a stutterer in this world, and the couple has worked hard to live like this.
Seeing the worry on Mrs. Tan's face, Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and said, "It's not easy. We will gradually live better."
"Yes, our business will get better and better. Thank you, Xiaoxi, for teaching me such a good skill." Mrs. Tan's face was full of gratitude.
"We are mutually dependent. If your business is good, my business will be even better." Gu Xiaoxi understood this very well.
Although she had some money, she really couldn't spend it carelessly.
"Yes, yes, our business will be better." Brother Tan said happily.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi left with her two brothers and sister-in-law. They arrived at the city gate and boarded the carriage back home.
On the return carriage, they were alone. Xue asked in confusion, "Xiaoxi, we can make money by making that porridge, so why don't you make it yourself?"
"If we do that, where can we buy chestnuts? Don't forget, they even gave us the space at the doorstep of their house. This can be considered as a courtesy in return." Gu Xiaoxi hopes that her sister-in-law can understand something and not just focus on the immediate interests.
After hearing this, Xue finally understood why her sister-in-law did this.
They can sell so many chestnuts now because of their good location.
Whether it was at the entrance of the academy or on that street, there were many people there.
"You, just learn slowly, I will definitely not make any mistakes." Gu Dongming felt that his sister was very good at doing business, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Gu Nanming looked worried, with his head down and no words.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiaoxi asked curiously.
Gu Nanming raised his head and stammered, "I, I seemed to see...saw my second sister-in-law just now."
