The Gu family yard and the Luo family yard next door were not very far apart, so Lu Yan's question was heard directly by Old Lady Gu.
The Gu family's faces turned pale.
As the old saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, but Lu Yan just can't hide it.
Whenever there is any trouble at home, it is always caused by her.
"Oh, what a sin! The second son of the Gu family said he wanted to study, but I saw that he hasn't been to school for a long time..." Grandma Luo followed Lu Yan's words, her face full of contempt for Grandma Gu.
In fact, based on her understanding of Old Lady Gu, she knew that she could really do such a thing.
Old Mrs. Gu, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason: "..."
This is indeed the case, but I just feel like something is not right.
At this moment, the expressions of Old Man Gu and Old Second Gu could no longer be described as dark as ink.
The Gu family has been farmers for generations, working hard in the fields.
After finally getting to Old Man Gu's place, they had the opportunity to send their second son to school and change their family's fortunes. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan suddenly appeared and ruined their family's reputation.
In particular, Lu Yan's description was clearly a satire on Gu Lao Er sucking blood from his brothers. If this reputation were to spread, people would criticize him.
Not to mention taking part in scientific examinations.
"Dad, Mom, stop her quickly." Song Jiao'e didn't care about establishing her image anymore. She stood up hurriedly and walked to the other side of the yard.
Through the window, Yu Nian looked at the chaotic scene in the yard, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Fifth sister-in-law is really great."
Before Yu Nian had the chance to praise her sisters, Gu Linxuan spoke.
Only then did Yu Nian remember that there was another person in the room.
She turned her head and saw Gu Linxuan half lying on the bed, still holding a book in his hand.
"You love reading so much, why weren't you the one your parents sent to school?" Yu Nian knew that the books on Gu Linxuan's bed were left by Gu Laoer.
But doesn’t the old saying go, the eldest grandson is the eldest son?
Logically speaking, Gu Linxuan is the youngest child in the family, and Grandma Gu should be more partial to Gu Linxuan.
"Heh." Gu Linxuan chuckled, his eyes filled with deep loneliness. "It is said that by the time our family could afford the tuition, it was too late for the eldest brother to go to school. So they postponed the selection of the second child."
Gu Linxuan calls the eldest brother Gu "big brother", but calls the second brother Gu "second brother".
This shows how weak the brotherhood is.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nian frowned slightly and couldn't help but think of Gu Linbei again.
It must be said that both brothers Gu Linbei and Gu Linxuan are very handsome, and their eyebrows are also very similar. However, these two brothers are the best-looking in the Gu family.
The other brothers of the Gu family all have serious expressions and look more like Old Man Gu.
"Have you never thought about sending other children back to school over the years?" Yu Nian wondered.
"Well, they said they had no money at home."
In fact, the fact that he had no money was just talk. When Gu Linbei was eleven or twelve years old, he followed the old hunter in the village to the mountains to hunt. At first, they hunted pheasants and rabbits.
Anything I can do to supplement the household expenses.
In addition, the brothers all worked in the fields, so the family was never short of money.
Later, Gu Linbei brought a lot of big things home one after another, so there was no way he would not have enough food to eat.
So, in the final analysis, Mrs. Gu is biased.
"This..." Yu Nian didn't know how to comfort Gu Linxuan. Seeing the book in his hand, she whispered, "Then I'll buy you a few more books next time I go to the city."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linxuan raised his head and couldn't help but look at Yu Nian twice.
He wouldn't believe words like this.
Because Yu Nian was bought by his mother from a human trafficker. If it weren't for Yu Nian's face full of pockmarks, she would have been sold directly to a brothel. Now she was sold to a farmer, but Gu Linxuan knew that his mother must still hold Yu Nian's slave contract.
"Think about yourself first."
Gu Linxuan spoke slowly and reminded him, then lowered his head and continued reading.
When Yu Nian heard what he said, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Your slave contract is still in my mother's hands."
Gu Linxuan wanted to remind Yu Nian several times today, but seeing that she looked heartless, he didn't feel like disturbing her good mood.
But now, he had to bring it up.
Because, since Old Lady Gu can't control Lu Yan, she will definitely come to control Yu Nian.
Of the two daughters-in-law, at least one must make her feel comfortable.
Sure enough, Yu Nian's face turned dark after hearing what Gu Linxuan said.
The original book didn't mention that she was bought and had a slave contract, so she thought she was just an ordinary farm girl. Now it seems that things are a bit more complicated.
In an instant, Yu Nian thought of several possibilities.
The simplest way is to endure it first, wait until you reach the road to escape the famine, and then escape with Lu Yan.
But just as this thought came to mind, Gu Linxuan spoke up: "You'd better not think about escaping. The government has a record of it. And if my mother knew you were thinking of running away, as the head of the family, she could just beat you to death."
Yes, slaves in ancient times had no human rights.
Yu Nian felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and all the interest he had in watching the fun just now disappeared.
She couldn't help but look up at the yard.
The Gu family rushed after Lu Yan, and Lu Yan was no pushover. She hadn't just knocked on the Luo family's door, but while they were chasing her, Lu Yan pretended to limp and led the Gu family on a stroll through most of Xiaohe Village.
She shouted as she ran.
The words that ruined the reputation of Old Lady Gu and Old Second Gu were repeated verbatim. In less than half an hour, the whole Xiaohe Village knew that Old Lady Gu was no longer a human being.
The first, second and third wives of the Gu family were treated like grandchildren, sitting on the ground and not wanting to move.
Although Lu Yan has not yet adapted to her new body, she is still very calm.
She went back to Gu's house and saw the dry steamed buns and porridge on the table, plus some fried wild vegetables. Lu Yan picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Don't say she is not particular. As someone who has struggled through the apocalypse, Lu Yan has no hobby of wasting food.
"Gu Linbei, come out for dinner!"
Following Lu Yan's shout, a person appeared at the door of Room 5.
When Lu Yan went up the mountain that afternoon, Gu Linbei and a few villagers had rebuilt a door, which now looked barely sturdy. However, looking at the gap in the door, Lu Yan was afraid that people would watch her and Gu Linbei having sex that night.
besides……
The famine is coming soon, not to mention the snakes, insects, rats and ants.
That little broken door can't even keep out a mosquito.
Lu Yan sighed deeply. In order to improve her quality of life, she had to take Yu Nian into the city tomorrow and ask her to prepare some insect repellent bags for her.
"You really aren't picky at all."
As soon as Gu Linbei came out, he spoke immediately.
He only reached out to take the dry steamed bun on the table, but did not touch the food that had been eaten.
That’s quite particular, Lu Yan thought to himself.
