Old Man Gu's reaction was an expression of his agreement.
Fan thought, what else does she have to worry about? Just go ahead.
She brought Liu Miaohua to Gu Huai's door in a rage. Just as she was about to speak, she didn't expect that Gu Huai and the others had already eaten and the table was empty.
Fan was immediately deflated. Without food and evidence, she had no reason to get angry.
Xie Yunjiao glanced at the door coldly. Want to snatch a piece of meat from her mouth? No way!
"Girl, you urged me to eat so fast that I still feel like there is something stuck in my throat and I can't swallow it." Ye Baien said while touching his bloated belly.
Even if the food is delicious, you can't eat it like this.
Chewing slowly is the key!
"Master, if you don't eat, someone will always miss the food in our house." Xie Yunjiao raised her chin and pointed towards the door.
Ye Baien looked over and saw that the tip of one shoe had indeed retracted.
"Who is that outside? Since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down for a while?" Ye Baien said loudly.
Fan originally wanted to leave, but now that she was yelled at like that, it was not convenient for her to leave immediately.
"Master, why did you let them in?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
There is no good person in the old Gu family, and she doesn't want to see them.
If she had enough money, she would have bought a piece of land somewhere else in the village and built a house far away from that vampire family!
She is already looking for land and believes that she will be able to realize this wish soon when she earns enough money.
"I have something to ask them. Since they've come to my door, I might as well ask them today."
Gu Huai thought of something and looked at Ye Baien: "Uncle Ye, is this about me?"
Ye Baien nodded: "Yes."
Fan and Liu Miaohua pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ms. Xie, who is this?" asked Mrs. Fan.
"Hello, Madam Gu. I am Gu Huai's uncle. My last name is Ye."
"Uncle?" Fan was stunned. How could she not know that Old Man Gu had such an odd-looking brother?
Liu Miaohua, on the other hand, was quick to react. She suddenly thought of something and quickly bumped into Fan and leaned closer to her, whispering, "Mom, could he be Gu Huai's uncle?"
Fan also reacted, and it seemed to be true!
She was ecstatic, feeling that she was going to make a fortune this time. She looked at Liu Miaohua and whispered, "Quick, go call your father over."
Liu Miaohua also understood what Fan meant and ran out.
"What do you mean? Are you coming to take Gu Huai back? We raised him as our own son. Even if he's not our biological son, he's better than ours.
We can't bear to let you take him away!"
We won't let Gu Huai leave easily unless we get something from you!
Xie Yunjiao had just spent money to renovate this old courtyard and made it look like new. After Gu Huai and the others left, they would have more room to live in.
By the time Gu An gets married, he will have a decent yard and it won’t be embarrassing.
Gu An is going to be the top scholar in the future, so he can't lose face.
Xie Yunjiao had known that Fan would say this. A dog will always eat shit!
"Mom, you are so good to us and always remember us. Don't worry, we won't leave. The fields and land at home need us." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.
Fan was stunned. Not only did this bitch not want to leave, but she also wanted to covet her fields and land? No way!
"Haven't the land and fields been divided among you? We only have so little, nothing more," said Mrs. Fan.
"I heard that Dad has an orchard near the end of the village that hasn't been divided yet. How about..."
Why not? I'll just give you everything!
He's just a bastard that was picked up, yet he wants to snatch everything away. How shameless!
"The orchard is full of old fruit trees, some are sick, some are dead, and they are basically abandoned." Old man Gu walked over with a dark face.
Fortunately, Liu Miaohua went to find him, otherwise Fan would have let the secret slip.
There are many fruit trees planted on that piece of land, including pears and apples. When the harvest comes, they can be taken to the town to sell and make a lot of money!
If they didn't have to support Gu An's studies outside, they would have fields and orchards, and Gu Huai would have earned money from hunting, so their life would not have been so tight.
The orchard is the source of half of their family’s income, and it cannot be divided with Xie Yunjiao and others!
In the past, whoever had the ability could occupy the land in the village, but now it is not so easy to get a piece of land. He doesn't want to give the land to Gu Huai for nothing, not even for a cent or half an acre!
"Who is this?"
In order to change the subject, Old Man Gu deliberately looked at Ye Baien.
"You must be Mr. Gu who adopted Gu Huai. I am Ye Baien, Gu Huai's uncle."
"Brother Ye, you can just call me Lao Gu. I am just an ordinary farmer and cannot bear the title of master."
Old Man Gu looked at Ye Baien carefully. Seeing that he was wearing coarse cloth, he didn't look like he was from a wealthy family.
Coming to your door suddenly is definitely not a good thing.
"Are you sure that Gu Huai is the child you are looking for?" asked Old Man Gu.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, it’s just that it’s almost the end of the year, so he’d better be safe than sorry!
What if Ye Bai En came here to cheat people out of money? He wouldn't give him a penny.
Fan was anxious. She moved closer to Old Man Gu and lowered her voice so that only they could hear her. "Hurry up and ask him to pay us. We've been taking care of Gu Huai for so long. Everything he eats and wears costs money!"
"No rush." Old Man Gu replied.
Naturally, he would not forget this matter, but he was more cautious than Fan and still felt that Ye Baien's sudden arrival had ulterior motives.
"Gu Huai's child has a birthmark that's exactly the same as the one on my nephew. And I've checked, he was picked up by you, right?"
"yes."
Even something as subtle as a birthmark matched, so it seems there's no mistake.
"So, are you here this time to take Gu Huai away?" Old Man Gu asked carefully.
He had to figure out Ye Baien's purpose before he could come up with a strategy to deal with it.
"Recognize relatives. Gu Huai's family members are all dead, and I am sick. I finally found my nephew, and now I have a place to stay." Ye Baien said pitifully.
He was wondering why Xie Yunjiao insisted on taking off his clothes and making him wear Gu Huai's clothes. It turned out that the people in the Gu family were greedy for money!
He was someone who could enter and leave the palace, and he had seen many monsters and demons in the palace. How could he not see what greedy people like Old Man Gu and Mrs. Fan were thinking!
Old Man Gu frowned. If that was true, then Ye Baien would be a trouble.
"Then we won't bother you anymore." Old Man Gu looked at Gu Huai. "I picked you up out of kindness. Now that you're reunited with your family, live a good life. But don't forget, no matter what, I'm still your father. No matter how windy or rainy it is outside, you still have your father waiting for you at home."
Tsk, Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but give Old Man Gu a thumbs up in her heart. He really knows how to say good things in front of others!
