There is a big table in the yard.
This has been the Gu family’s habit for many years.
Because the main room is too small and the Gu family has so many people, unless the weather is extremely cold, the whole family will sit here to eat.
"Hey, you still remember to come back?"
When Old Mrs. Gu looked up, she saw Gu Linbei and Lu Yan coming in from outside.
Even though Old Lady Gu had been sitting at home, she had also heard about Lu Yan going out to sell wild boars.
There is so much wild boar meat that I can’t leave for my family to eat.
He insisted on selling it to the villagers at a low price.
The more Old Lady Gu looked at her daughter-in-law Lu Yan, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Ah," Lu Yan covered her mouth in surprise, then looked at Old Lady Gu in confusion: "From what Mother said, are you going to kick us out of the house? Just for half a wild boar?"
It’s not that Lu Yan has to be against Old Lady Gu, it’s just that in the original novel, Old Lady Gu went too far.
Lu Yan knew clearly that the Gu family was like a leech to them.
If they can't clean the rotten flesh off their bodies, none of them will have a good life.
"You little bitch, which ear did you listen to when I said I was going to kick you out of the house? Lao Wu, Teng is trying to sow discord!" Old Mrs. Gu looked at Lu Yan and Gu Linbei with anger on her face.
Of course, she was mostly complaining to her good son.
But Gu Linbei has never been close to the Gu family since he was a child.
Let’s not talk about now. He just glanced at Old Lady Gu, and the words he spoke were clearly stating a fact.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
As Gu Linbei spoke, his eyes were fixed on the dry steamed bun in Old Lady Gu's hand.
In the Gu family, only men can eat dry food.
The reason was simple: men were the main labor force in the family. Of course, Gu Linxuan was the only man in the family who didn't have to work in the fields, so he drank the same thin liquid as the women.
But, now.
Old Mrs. Gu was holding a dry steamed bun in her hand, obviously treating Gu Linbei's rations as her own.
Old Mrs. Gu paused slightly while holding the dry steamed bun, and her face almost turned red.
Of course she didn't forget that when she went to the fields today, Gu Linbei also went with her.
It was only later when someone said that Lu Yan was going up the mountain that Gu Linbei gathered the villagers to go up the mountain.
"Hungry?" Old Mrs. Gu was only momentarily flustered, then a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes: "If you're hungry, go find something to eat yourself. Aren't you capable? Since the wild boar won't share its food with the family, then don't come back for dinner!"
What Mrs. Gu said was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Not to mention that the food in the Gu family's fields was produced with the help of Gu Linbei, just look at the game he hunted, which one of them was not taken out to satisfy the family's appetite?
Even the money earned from the wild game that was sold was given to Old Lady Gu.
But just because Gu Linbei gave Lu Yan half a wild boar today, Old Lady Gu became dissatisfied.
"Oh."
Lu Yan now completely understood everything.
When she read the original book, she only felt that she and Yu Nian were being sucked dry by the Gu family.
I never considered that Gu Linbei was also the target of this family's bloodsucking.
As for Gu Linxuan, he has disabled legs.
It can't be said that he was sucked dry, but he was also directly abandoned.
Lu Yan glanced at Gu Linbei, and seeing the slightly hurt expression on his face, she immediately understood everything. Gu Linbei probably also remembered what he had done for the Gu family, but he just didn't say it.
"Gu Linbei, take the dishes back to the house first, and leave the rest to me."
Lu Yan has never been a good-tempered person, and she can't stand anyone bullying her man.
Especially, thinking of the pitiful look Gu Linbei had shown in front of him on the road just now.
Regardless of whether his expression was fake or not, Lu Yan would take care of this matter today.
"Are you okay on your own?" Gu Linbei was obviously a little worried.
"Don't worry."
In fact, Lu Yan didn't have to force Gu Linbei to leave, but when she thought about her character that couldn't be destroyed, she rubbed her brows with a headache.
Sometimes, it is quite simple to make miracles happen with great effort.
"Okay." Gu Linbei paused, but still went straight into the house carrying the basin full of wild boar meat.
Lu Yan looked at the group of people from the Gu family sitting at the dinner table, but did not find Yu Nian and Gu Linxuan.
Yes, Gu Linxuan has never left his room since he was paralyzed in bed. It's a blessing in disguise that Yu Nian has such a husband.
Otherwise, if I sat at the table, I didn’t know how much trouble I would be treated by Old Lady Gu.
"You little bitch, Lao Wu has already entered the house, do you think I'm still afraid of you?"
As soon as Mrs. Gu saw Gu Linbei enter the room, her eyes suddenly became fierce.
She was a little afraid of Gu Linbei's aura, but that didn't mean she was afraid of Lu Yan.
Yes, in the eyes of Old Lady Gu, Lu Yan is not to be feared.
Of course, this was assuming she didn't know that Lu Yan had stolen her kitchen knife and killed two wild boars.
"Oh, aren't you afraid of me?" Lu Yan tilted his head, looking provocative.
There was a large group of people sitting at the Gu family's dinner table, and none of them understood what Lu Yan meant.
But Lu Yan turned his gaze directly to Old Man Gu and the second son of the Gu family: "Dad, second brother, you have to think it over carefully. I am most afraid of being hungry. When my stomach is empty, I don't care."
The whole family didn’t understand what Lu Yan meant, but it didn’t matter.
Because they figured it out pretty quickly.
Lu Yan just turned her head and walked out of the yard.
The Gu family was confused, and then they saw Lu Yan standing at the door of the next door and knocking on the door.
"Is there anyone who can be kind? I'm the new wife and I have nothing to eat... My husband will have to go hungry too... Can you lend me some food? Tomorrow, when my husband goes hunting in the mountains, we can bring him some game..."
Lu Yan was clearly very confident when she went out just now.
But in just a short while, he was already holding his stomach and could hardly get up.
If the Gu family hadn't lived in such a remote area and the two neighboring families hadn't kept their doors closed, Lu Yan would have been exposed. What a pity...
"What's going on?"
The gate of the courtyard next door quickly opened, and an old lady with gray hair stood at the door.
There was an expression of disbelief on that wrinkled face.
When she saw Lu Yan sitting under her own eaves, the old woman finally realized what was happening. "Oh, is this the wife of the fifth son of the Gu family? What's going on?"
"Grandma, please be kind and let me eat! My mother is trying to save money for my second uncle's education... and she's depriving me... and my husband... My husband has a miserable life. He spends all day hunting to support his parents, but he can't even afford a bite of food..."
Lu Yan cried so hard that she practically trampled on the Gu family's reputation.
In the yard over here, Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu's faces were as black as ink.
However, Lu Yan’s actions are more than just these.
Lu Yan was seen wiping her face with tears and snot, and the words she said made Old Lady Gu tremble with fear: "Grandma, you said... Could it be that my husband was picked up by Old Lady Gu?"
