Chapter 30 Mrs. Gu’s Plan



When Lu Yan said this, the other daughters-in-law of the Gu family were so envious that their eyes turned red.

It's simple, they have been married into the Gu family for many years.

But Lu Yan has never been treated like this.

Gu Linbei hunted wild boar for her yesterday, and today he took her into the city.

Wang Zhaodi and the others really couldn't even imagine it.

Perhaps because of this, they are more jealous and sour.

"Oh, Laowu, there are so many young wives in this village, but this is the first time I've seen one like you." Wang Zhaodi spoke first, but her eyes were full of jealousy when she looked at Lu Yan.

How could they have received such treatment when they got married?

"So, on the first day after getting married, you're going to the city. From then on, won't you have to go out every day?"

The person who said this was the third son’s wife, Yang Cuihua.

Lu Yan listened to their sarcastic voices and a malicious smile appeared on her lips: "Mother, look at my sisters-in-law... They don't want me to go into the city!"

The whole family now thinks that Lu Yan might be sick.

He had teased Mrs. Gu so much yesterday and ruined her precious son's future. How could Mrs. Gu possibly help Lu Yan?

I guess he would start by scolding Lu Yan.

Wang Zhaodi and Yang Cuihua were both impatient at this moment.

After all, they had never been to the city in their lives.

But how could Old Lady Gu dare to reveal her true feelings? By now, Old Second Gu and his men were probably ambushing in the city. As soon as Lu Yan and Gu Linbei separated, their men would definitely attack Lu Yan.

Make her regret being so arrogant.

"Alright, alright." Old Mrs. Gu was extremely annoyed, but she was also afraid that others would see what she was thinking.

She quickly raised her hand and waved, saying, "Go ahead if you want to. Just don't go out when it's your turn to do housework."

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, Lu Yan did not forget to look at Wang Zhaodi and Yang Cuihua provocatively.

Both sisters-in-law looked unwilling.

When he turned his head to look at Wanmei again, he saw that Wanmei seemed to have heard nothing.

She just kept her head down and busy with the things in her hands.

"Hey, some people just don't know how to fight for themselves." Wang Zhaodi sneered, looking at Wan Mei with a mocking expression: "This year, it should be our family's turn to make clothes for your little mute, right? How come this opportunity was snatched away by the second wife?"

Wang Zhaodi was sarcastic.

The Gu family has many descendants, not to mention their grandchildren.

The Gu family now has three grandsons and four girls.

But the family's situation was obvious to everyone, and she was reluctant to make clothes even for her children. So, Mrs. Gu stipulated that she would make a set of clothes for each of her grandchildren every year.

This year it was the little mute's turn.

But unfortunately...

Song Jiao'e came, and as soon as she entered the door, she made Old Lady Gu run around in circles.

As a result, the clothes that were originally intended for the little mute were gone.

Wan Mei lowered her head, not daring to say a word. Normally, she only dared to speak arrogantly in front of her husband and children, but if she really had to confront her sisters-in-law, she would never have the courage.

"Okay, stop talking."

Seeing that the fire was about to start, Old Man Gu knocked on his pipe with an unhappy look on his face.

Several daughters-in-law fell silent, except Lu Yan, who stood on the steps, deep in thought.

Lu Yan had noticed Qingqing's jacket yesterday; it must have been given to her by one of the boys in her family. The little girl wore it loosely. Although Qingqing was still young, she was a girl after all.

If she can't even protect her privacy, won't she be targeted by the old men in the village in the future?

In this era, innocence is a matter of life and death.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan decided to sell the wild boar in the space and buy some cloth. It seemed that he would have to spend a lot of money today.

But it was not bad. After all, Lu Yan had earned over 2,000 copper coins yesterday by selling pork at 30 wen per pound. He should be able to buy ordinary materials.

"Then we'll go." Gu Linbei glanced at Lu Yan and spoke seriously.

"Well, let's go."

After Lu Yan finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance towards the sixth room.

Then, pretending to suddenly remember something, he slapped his forehead and said, "I would have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it. Didn't Sixth Brother's wife just come in? I bet there's a lot of things she needs to buy, right? Do you want to come with us?"

Hearing this, Yu Nian was stunned.

Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Me? Can I go too?"

Old Mrs. Gu really wanted to say no, for fear that too many people would go and cause unnecessary trouble.

But Lu Yan had already spoken: "Sixth sister-in-law, what you said is true. Our mother is not the kind of person who favors one over the other!"

No matter how thin the relationship between Lu Yan and Old Lady Gu is, Lu Yan's main focus at this moment is to maximize the emotional value.

As soon as these words were spoken, it undoubtedly put Old Lady Gu in a difficult position.

Old Mrs. Gu's words of refusal were stuck in her throat, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Finally, it was Old Man Gu who spoke: "You can go if you want, but do you have the money?"

The sixth brother doesn't work in the fields at home, but he has some spare money like the fifth brother.

Upon hearing this, Yu Nian was also stunned.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Gu Linxuan's voice coming from the room: "Wife, come here for a moment."

After Gu Linxuan said this, Old Man Gu could only swallow all his suspicions back into his stomach.

It seems that whether he has money or not, Yu Nian must enter the city today.

In the room.

Yu Nian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Gu Linxuan expectantly.

Isn't there an old saying? To judge whether a man is good or not, you have to see whether he is willing to spend money on you.

"Ahem." Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Yu Nian, Gu Linxuan finally took out a small purse from under the pillow.

The purse is dark blue with dark gray patchwork, and it is obviously made of scraps of cloth at home.

"Here's some silver. Take it... use it to buy something you want."

Gu Linxuan originally wanted to open the purse to take a look, but in the end he couldn't reach out his hand.

Yu Nian was a little confused and opened the purse directly.

There were only some scattered copper coins in the bag, which made Yu Nian feel inexplicably sad.

"Fifth Brother and I are... different. I have worked very hard to earn all this."

"How did you earn it?"

Yu Nian was suspicious.

The original book described Gu Linxuan as a poor little guy with paralyzed legs. Yu Nian never thought that he would secretly save money.

And it's private money.

Shouldn't he obey what Old Lady Gu says?

"I earned it by copying books." Gu Linxuan looked up at Yu Nian. "Every month when Dabao comes back, I ask him to help me copy books. But I have difficulty moving around. Plus, Dabao takes a lot of commission...so I only saved this much."

Gu Dabao is the eldest son of the Gu family and is nine years old this year.

Because he was the eldest grandson of the Gu family, he had the opportunity to go to school.

Yu Nian didn't expect that Gu Linxuan would actually let Gu Dabao help him copy books, and even give Gu Dabao a commission.

These things were not mentioned in the original book.

But Yu Nian felt uneasy when he weighed the little money in his hand.
