Wen Tang's words touched Gu Jin's heart.
Gu Jin thought about it and nodded.
Gu Jin didn't go home at noon. Xu Huaishan and his sons came home from the fields and sat down at the dinner table, but they didn't see him.
Xu Ancheng asked, "Where's Mom?"
His wife Zhang Fen glanced into the yard and said, "No one was seen around noon."
"Didn't you say where you were going?"
“I didn’t say that!”
"I don't even know when he left," said Zhang Fen.
Xu Ancheng glanced at her unhappily, "It's time for dinner, don't you go out and shout?"
Zhang Fen opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Instead, she stood up with the child in her arms and prepared to leave the table.
Xu Ancheng said again, "Just sit down. I'll go get someone."
Seeing his son getting up to go out, Xu Huaishan said, "Don't worry about her. It's time to eat. After dinner, we still have to go to the fields in the afternoon. She can go wherever she wants."
"I'll come back when I'm hungry."
No one dared to refute this, but Xu Ancheng did not sit down. Instead, he went out and asked the neighbors on both sides.
Then he came back and said, "Aunt Wang said she saw my mother going to my uncle's house."
The eldest son of the Xu family couldn't help but say at this time, "If you went to your uncle's place, you should be back by now!"
"My uncle must have eaten too."
His wife said, "Maybe he stayed at his uncle's house."
Xu Anming, the eldest son of the Xu family, thought about it and shook his head. "No, my mother has been particular about things all her life. She doesn't want to cause trouble for her family. Even though we lived in the same production team these years, she rarely ate at my uncle's house."
"Are there guests at my uncle's house?" guessed the second son Xu Ansheng.
Only Xu Huaishan guessed the real possibility, which was that Gu Jin was quarreling with him and was angry.
But he is already in his fifties, with a lot of sons and grandchildren, and Gu Jin went back to her parents' home because she was angry with him... If this were to be made public, wouldn't people laugh at her?
Especially when talking to his son and daughter-in-law, Xu Huaishan couldn't open his mouth.
Unable to open his mouth, Xu Huaishan picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table, "Eat wherever you like, just mind your own business."
Gu Jin didn't go home at noon, and no one came out to look for him.
Although Gu Jin didn't expect anyone to come out to look for him, he still felt uncomfortable when no one came out to look for him.
I felt bad, and after lunch, she insisted on washing the dishes.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t stay at Gu’s house for dinner.
She is a person who is afraid of causing trouble to others.
After she said that, no one stopped her and she was allowed to wash the dishes.
After Xu Huaishan finished his meal, he sat on the stone mill in the yard and smoked his pipe. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he slipped out the door.
Then he wandered over to Gu's house.
When they arrived at the gate of the Gu family compound, Xu Huaishan stepped in.
After he entered the yard, he happened to see Gu Jin carrying a basin of dirty water and pouring it into the corner of the yard, while the other members of the Gu family were either sitting in the main room or in the yard, anyway, they were all sitting around idly.
Xu Huaishan was so angry that he couldn't contain his anger. If she didn't pour him water to wash his feet, he would be happy if she came back to serve her family, right?
Xu Huaishan came in from outside, and it was Lin Liansheng who greeted him, "My uncle is here."
No one else spoke.
Xu Huaishan responded with a smile, only to realize that no one else in the Gu family spoke.
Not to mention that Gu Juyuan is the eldest brother-in-law. The eldest brother is like a father. Now that the father of the Gu family is gone, Gu Juyuan is half a father-in-law to Xu Huaishan. He does not expect his eldest brother-in-law to take over for him.
But Gu Yanli is my nephew.
Although Gu Yanli has been a bit of a scoundrel since he was a child and is not easy to talk to, he has always been polite. Whenever he sees you, he will call you "Uncle-in-law."
But today…
Not only did Gu Yanli not shout, he also sat there with his hands in his pockets, looking at him expressionlessly.
Xu Huaishan's legs were a little unsteady when he walked.
To be honest, Xu Huaishan was still a little afraid of his nephew Gu Yanli.
Logically speaking, he already has three sons and shouldn't be afraid of Gu Yanli.
After all, among his three sons, he is the only one who is afraid of others around here, but who can blame the eldest brother-in-law for being such a capable son!
When he was young, he was quiet, but you could tell he was very ruthless. I didn't expect that he could use his ruthlessness in the right place. Not only did he join the army, but he also became a battalion commander at such a young age.
Even though the Gu family only has this one son, who around here dares to mess with his family?
No one else dares, not even Xu Huaishan.
Xu Huaishan thought that he was not a bad person. Whenever there was any problem in his brother-in-law's family, he always helped take care of them because he was in the same team. Logically, he should not feel guilty today, but he felt very guilty today.
Because he felt guilty, Gu Yanli didn't say hello to Xu Huaishan, but Xu Huaishan took the initiative to say hello to him. He smiled and asked, "Is Yanli still home?"
Gu Yanli had a blank expression on his face, but when he saw Xu Huaishan speaking with a smile, he also raised the corner of his lips, "Yes, I'm here, and I'll be there tomorrow too. If you miss me, you can come more often."
Although Gu Yanli was smiling, Xu Huaishan felt that his smile was cold.
Although it felt cold, the topic was opened, and Xu Huaishan said, "We'll be gone in a few days!"
Gu Yanli said, "I'm not leaving."
"Huh?" Xu Huaishan looked surprised. "Why don't you go?"
As he was speaking, he walked closer. Gu Yanli moved a little, patted the seat next to him, and motioned Xu Huaishan to sit down.
Xu Huaishan was attracted by his words and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Gu Yanli put his arm around his shoulders.
