Chapter 34 What's the matter?
Wang Yueju put the apples and candies into a cloth bag and gave it to Gu Siqing, asking her to deliver it to Wu Dani.
Gu Siqing carried a cloth bag to Wu Dani's yard. She was sitting under the eaves making shoes. Judging from the size, they should be Gu Xuebin's. Looking at the bag in her hand, the contents would soon go into Gu Xuebin's stomach.
She felt a little unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. Wu Dani's preference for boys over girls was deeply ingrained, and it hadn't changed in the slightest from her previous life to her death.
"Grandma, my dad bought apples and candies, and my mom asked me to bring some to you." Gu Siqing handed the cloth bag to Wu Dani and waited to take the bag back instead of leaving.
Wu Dani took the bag, opened it, and looked inside. "Why did your dad buy this?"
Gu Siqing shook her head, "I don't know."
Wu Dani stared at her for a few seconds, but Gu Siqing let her. She wouldn't tell her about her father's trip to the provincial capital. If she knew, her second uncle would soon find out too, and who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.
Wu Dani didn't see anything on Gu Siqing's face. She carried the cloth bag back to the house, wondering why Gu Jianguo bought apples and candy. The eldest and his wife were very frugal in their lives. If they suddenly bought something like this, it must be something important.
She was not worried about the eldest son's family. She was just afraid that the eldest son would not tell her about any good things, causing the second son to suffer.
In her mind, if Gu Jianguo didn't let Gu Jiancheng get any benefits, then Gu Jiancheng would suffer a loss.
Handing the cloth bag to Gu Siqing, she asked unwillingly, "Is there really nothing wrong with your family?"
Gu Siqing looked puzzled: "What could happen to my family?"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Wu Dani looked at her back for a long time before she sat down to continue making shoes. But she still felt that something must have happened at the old house, so she got up and went to Gu Jiancheng's yard.
Gu Jiancheng didn't play mahjong today and was lying in bed sleeping. Zhang Chuntao was sitting under the eaves, eating melon seeds. When she saw her coming, she spat out the shells and said, "Is it time to cook?"
Wu Dani ignored her, pushed the door open and walked into the room. She walked to the bedside, woke up Gu Jiancheng and whispered, "Go and ask if there's anything wrong at your eldest brother's house?"
Gu Jiancheng was half asleep. After hearing her words, he scratched his head and said, "What could possibly happen at my eldest brother's house? Even if there is something wrong, I can't help."
Wu Dani hit him and said, "I'm talking about good things. Xiao Si just gave me apples and candy. Your brother and sister-in-law are so good at living. They wouldn't buy these things for no reason."
Wu Jiancheng finally understood that his mother was afraid that if something good happened to his elder brother, he would not be able to benefit from it.
He fell down and lay down again. "Don't always be like this. If you continue like this, my eldest brother will have a grudge against me, and that won't be good for anyone. My eldest brother is also your biological son."
Wu Dani was stunned for a moment, then said, "How could I not know that your eldest brother is my biological son? The key is that your eldest brother has no sons, so his things should belong to Xueqiang and Xuebin in the future. If I don't take care of it, what will happen if he gives all his things to those four girls?"
Gu Jiancheng sat up and looked at Wu Dani earnestly, saying, "Is it abnormal that my eldest brother gave all his things to his daughter? If it were me, I would also give things to my own children. Besides, you can't stop me even if you want to! I have never thought about taking my eldest brother's things, so don't think about it either."
Wu Dani was so angry that she hit him hard, "Those four girls will belong to other families in the future. Don't you feel bad about giving away their things?"
"It's not mine, why should I feel bad about it?" Gu Jiancheng lay down again. He felt that his life was pretty good now. He had food and drink, and could even play mahjong. Why did he think about his big brother's things every day?
Wu Dani was so disappointed that she couldn't make up for her shortcomings. "Why did I raise such a fool like you?"
"My elder brother is a smart man, so you should be nice to him." Gu Jiancheng felt that he was under a lot of pressure. His mother always gave him all the good things. In fact, those things she gave him were not worth much money, but to outsiders, it seemed as if he had taken advantage of her.
Wu Dani glared at him fiercely and stood up to walk out. Zhang Chuntao was eavesdropping at the door and left immediately after hearing the sound.
After Wu Dani left, she cracked melon seeds and kept glancing towards the eldest wife's house. She heard everything Wu Dani said, and in her heart she cursed Gu Jiancheng for being a spendthrift. At the same time, she also felt that Wu Dani was right, and that good things must be happening to the eldest wife.
What's the matter?
Is Yimin or Erhui getting engaged?
Has Gu Jianguo contacted his comrades?
Zhang Chuntao was very anxious. She had a different idea from Gu Jiancheng. She felt that Wu Dani was right and that the things belonging to the eldest wife should belong to her two sons.
Xueqiang was old enough to get married, but she and Gu Jiancheng had no savings, so they would have to ask the eldest wife for money. What if the eldest wife spent her money elsewhere and her son didn't have enough money to marry?
After much thought, she got on her bike and headed back to her parents' home. Her sister-in-law was a calculating woman, so if she gave her some advice, she might be able to figure it out.
When they arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Shugen was still lying in bed, and it took him 100 days to recover from his injuries, not to mention that Gu Jianguo had broken several of his ribs.
Zhang Shuangping was knitting. She was finally engaged to Deng Zhiming, and she was so happy that she bought some wool for him. Ge Fenglian sat next to her, and the mother and daughter were talking.
Seeing her coming, Ge Fenglian took a stool and asked her to sit down. "Why are you here at this time? What's going on?"
Zhang Chuntao didn't beat around the bush and directly repeated what she had heard from Wu Dani. She then said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think will happen to Gu Jianguo and the others?"
Ge Fenglian felt so angry when she heard Gu Jianguo's name. The scene of being beaten by Wang Yueju and the four daughters of the Gu family that day was still vivid in her mind.
It was the first time in her life that someone had slapped her in the face, the first time she had been insulted like that. But she couldn't do anything about it. She could only grit her teeth in hatred every day.
It can be said that after that day, she hated it so much that she could hardly sleep every night. Now that she heard about the Gu family, how could she not be excited?
The same goes for Zhang Shuangping. These days, whenever she thinks of Gu Yimin, she wishes she could die.
"Have you noticed any movement from Mr. Gu's family in recent days?" Ge Fenglian asked.
Zhang Chuntao thought for a while, "Nothing's happening! Oh, by the way, Han Deyi went to the big room a few days ago."
Ge Fenglian's brows knitted together. "Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi were comrades-in-arms. Did they contact their former comrades?"
"I also think this is possible." Zhang Chuntao said.
Ge Fenglian frowned and thought for a moment. "If Yimin or Erhui wants to get engaged, we'll see. If it's something important, we'll have to go to the county police station to get a letter of certification. I'll have Shuangping go to the Deng family and have them talk to Deng Dazhu. As long as Gu Jianguo can't get a letter of certification, he won't be able to accomplish anything."
