"Who am I afraid of laughing at? She even dared to take out glass beads to show off her treasures. Who am I afraid of laughing at? " Zhu Yulan was still not satisfied and kept yelling and cursing, but she probably had to save face, so her voice was a little lower.
"Second Aunt, please listen to my explanation..." Shen Yuhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so she had to explain patiently.
"What else is there to explain, Chen Yuhe? I'll return the glass beads to you. I'll remember this account today. If you dare to step into the Gu family's door again, don't blame me for not treating you well." Zhu Yulan wanted to kick Chen Yuhe out directly, but seeing the servants with different expressions around her, and several guests who stopped to watch from afar, she felt embarrassed to do anything so extreme. She threw the "glass beads" at Chen Yuhe, said something harsh, and turned away.
"Oh, I understand. You came to the Gu family at this time because you don't even have money to stay in the inn. Let me tell you, this time I took the opportunity of the worship ceremony, and I finally invited the old friends of the head of the family to visit the Gu family. There is no place for you to stay. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." After walking a few steps, Zhu Yulan turned her head and said.
She had heard that the Huayu Temple was poor, but she didn't expect it to be so poor. The dignified right priest actually used a glass bead to fool people. How much better could the chief priest be? So she didn't even give face to Mu Hanyan.
You know what, she was right, but it wasn’t because of the money.
"Master Priest..." Seeing her being so ruthless, Shen Yuhe was so ashamed that she almost cried.
"Let's go." Mu Hanyan didn't expect Zhu Yulan to be so materialistic. It would be bad for her to stay in the Gu family anymore.
"Wait, I still have a yard. Anyway, your uncle is gone, so you can just live with me, Yulan. You don't have any objection to this, do you?" Lin Xiu couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Lin Yulan with anger.
"If you want them to live where you want them to, then live where you want them to. Anyway, I've made it clear. My Gu family doesn't keep idle people. The Gu family's food is bought with money. Don't be so generous and give it to outsiders." Lin Xiu was kind-hearted and seldom got angry in decades. It was the first time that Zhu Yulan saw her face full of anger. She felt embarrassed to confront her, so she snorted coldly and walked away with her hips twisted.
As she walked, she cursed in a low voice with lingering anger: "Glass beads, how dare you use glass beads to fool me..."
Mu Hanyan shook her head and smiled bitterly. She really didn't expect that Chen Yuhe's second aunt was such a person. If she had known the result would be like this, she would not have allowed Chen Yuhe to take out the relic soul bead.
"Is our midnight snack gone?" Baby Ling touched his stomach and said with regret.
Mu Hanyan and the others looked at him and rolled their eyes.
"Let's go to auntie's place first. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you. I remember when you were a child, you loved to eat big fat elbows and pork belly. The fatter the better. You were raised like a little fat pig. At that time, I was always worried that you wouldn't be able to get married when you grew up. I didn't expect that you would grow up to be so pretty. Auntie doesn't have to worry anymore." Lin Xiu teased Shen Yuhe while pulling her towards the inner house.
Zhu Yulan's materialism made her feel a little embarrassed, so she told some jokes to lighten the atmosphere.
Big fat elbows, pork belly, the fatter the better... Mu Hanyan and the others looked at Shen Yuhe's baby face, and it was not difficult to imagine what she looked like when she was a child.
"No, we've already eaten." Shen Yuhe felt embarrassed by their gazes and declined with a red face.
She just ate dry food along the way, and her appetite became less and less. She was actually a little hungry, but after hearing Zhu Yulan's harsh words before, she didn't want to make things difficult for her aunt.
"Are you worried about your second aunt? Don't worry about her. She is just saying that and has no bad intentions. The Gu family has had a hard time these years, and it is not easy for her to manage the housework." Seeing what Shen Yuhe was thinking, Lin Xiu sighed and said, which was also a good word for Zhu Yulan.
After all, they were family, and she didn't want to make things too awkward.
"What happened at home?" Shen Yuhe asked.
"Life is not easy at home. It may seem prosperous in the eyes of outsiders, but actually we can barely afford to pay the servants' allowances. Most of the guards have been dismissed. I am now relying on the dowry I brought from my parents' home to eat up all the money I had." Lin Tou hesitated for a moment, but still said with a wry smile.
"How could this happen? I remember that your family has a lot of businesses?" Shen Yuhe said in surprise.
"The family has some properties, but in order to make a living, we have sold most of them privately over the years. If we sell them off again, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep this old house." Lin Xiu said helplessly.
"How could this happen? How did Zhu Yulan manage this family? Grandpa doesn't even care?" Shen Yuhe was already dissatisfied with Zhu Yulan's previous behavior, and she was even more infuriated when she heard this: such a big family was messed up like this in her hands, and she still had the nerve to show off in front of her.
"Yuhe, to be honest, you really can't blame her for this." Lin Xiu shook her head and said.
"Don't blame her, blame anyone else. Although my grandfather is the head of this family, all the family affairs have long been handed over to my second uncle and his wife. I know a little about my second uncle's character. He is too honest and loyal and doesn't want to be in charge. In fact, Zhu Yulan has the final say in the affairs of the Gu family. Such a big family business has been messed up like this. I can't blame her, blame anyone else." Shen Yuhe said resentfully.
"Yuhe, you only know that the Gu family has a considerable fortune, but you don't know how this fortune came about. If you knew, you wouldn't blame your second aunt." Lin Xiu said.
"How did it come?" Shen Yuhe asked.
"The Gu family has some reputation in Tianyang City, and ranks in the upper middle among many priest families, but have you ever thought about where this reputation comes from? Your grandfather is only a ninth-rank divine priest. If you pick any decent priest family in Tianyang City, the head of the family is more powerful than this, but in terms of reputation, they may not be able to compare with our Gu family. What is the reason for this?" Lin Xiu asked.
Shen Yuhe shook her head. She had never thought about this problem before. If she thought about it carefully, with her grandfather's strength, it would be good enough for him to have a foothold in Tianyang City. It was impossible for him to have the reputation he has now.
"The Gu family can have such a status in Tianyang City because your grandfather got a recipe for Fengnie Pill when he was traveling in his early years." Lin Xiu said.
"Phoenix Nirvana Pill?" Chen Yuhe looked at Lin Xiu in confusion. She had never heard of such a pill.
"I don't understand anything about cultivation, I just know that after taking the pill, you can become a hundred years younger." Lin Xiu said.
"You mean the life-extending pill." Chen Yuhe understood now.
