Chapter 55 Is it true that no one bullies my family?
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, but they didn't see anyone even when they sat down at the dinner table.
Xu Ancheng then asked, "Where's mom?"
His wife Zhang Fen looked into the yard and said, "No one was seen until 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 call for help?"
Zhang Fen opened her mouth but said nothing. 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 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 that she saw my mother going to my uncle's house."
The eldest son of the Xu family couldn't help but say, "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 all her life. She doesn't want to cause trouble for her family. Even though she lived in a brigade 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 having a quarrel 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 in front of 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 take care of yourself."
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 upset, and after lunch, she insisted on washing the dishes.
Otherwise I won’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 outside the gate of Gu's courtyard, Xu Huaishan stepped into the door.
After he entered the yard, he just happened to see Gu Jin carrying a basin of dirty water and pouring it towards the corner of the yard, while the other members of the Gu family were either sitting in the main room or in the yard, just sitting around idly.
Xu Huaishan was so angry that he could not 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 mother's 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. 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 young and is not easy to talk to, this child has always been well-mannered. Whenever he sees you, he will call you "Uncle-in-law."
But today…
Not only did Gu Yanli not shout, he just 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, so he shouldn't be afraid of Gu Yanli.
After all, among his three sons, he is the only one who is afraid of him in this area, 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 ruthless. I didn't expect that he could use this ruthlessness in the right place. Not only did he join the army, but he also became a battalion commander at 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 as 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 corners of his lips and said, "Yes, I'm here, and I'll be here tomorrow too. If you miss me, you can come more often, uncle."
Although Gu Yanli was smiling, Xu Huaishan felt that his smile was cold.
Although it felt cold, the topic was opened, so Xu Huaishan said, "There are still a few days to go!"
Gu Yanli said, "I'm not leaving."
"Huh?" Xu Huaishan was surprised. "Why don't you go?"
As he was talking, 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.
Xu Huaishan felt like his waist was about to break when he was hugged by him.
But Gu Yanli still smiled brightly, with a friendly look. Gu Yanli even patted his leg with his hand and asked in a friendly way, "Uncle-in-law, I'm going to work with you in the brigade after I'm demobilized. What do you think?"
Every time he said something, I took a picture.
Xu Huaishan felt that his old rheumatoid arthritis legs were about to be broken.
Being slapped so hard that his teeth were grimacing, and his old waist was almost broken, Xu Huaishan could only endure it, "How can you change your career when you are fine?"
"It's better to stay in the army. Only by staying in the army can you have a bright future."
Gu Yanli sighed, "I'm in the army, I can't take care of my family, I'm worried."
Xu Huaishan immediately patted his chest and asked, "Why are you worried about this?"
"There's not only me at home, but also your three cousins. Aren't they all in the same team?"
"If you have anything to say, just come to my house and tell me. How can you let others bully you?"
As soon as Xu Huaishan said this, Gu Yanli stopped laughing and stopped patting Xu Huaishan. Instead, he raised his hand to help Xu Huaishan carefully adjust his clothes. "Really?"
"Uncle-in-law, is it true that no one bullies my family?"
Xu Huaishan: "..."
He was not very sure at first, but now he is sure. It must be Gu Jin who told the Gu family about the quarrel between them. It seems that everyone in the Gu family, young and old, knows about it.
Thinking about it, Xu Huaishan was so angry!
He felt that Gu Jin was too unreliable. She was already old, but she went back to her parents' home to make a fuss just because of a quarrel. It was simply laughable.
As they were talking, Gu Jin had already cleaned up the kitchen and came to the main room. When he saw Xu Huaishan, Gu Jin asked angrily, "What are you doing here?"
