As soon as Gu Lao Er finished speaking, Gu Lao Da's sandbag-sized fist hit him.
Gu Laoer is just a poor scholar.
Boss Gu has been working in the fields for many years, and the gap between the two is obvious.
Therefore, when Boss Gu punched Boss Gu in the face, Boss Gu felt a fishy and sweet taste in his mouth.
Seeing this, Old Man Gu's face turned black: "What are you doing? My father is not dead yet!"
"Dad, if he hadn't left Old Five to die alone, would my sister-in-law have been able to take so much money?"
"That's right, it's fine that Second Brother doesn't have to work in the fields on weekdays! Why should we use our hard-earned money to clean up his mess?"
"Dad, no one is so partial as you."
The Gu family's sons had just heard Old Man Gu say that the family was out of money, and their faces all turned unhappy. Now seeing that Old Man Gu was still partial to the second son, wouldn't they all be unhappy?
At this moment, there was dissatisfaction in their eyes.
He stared at Old Man Gu closely, waiting for his explanation.
Old Man Gu was still counting on his sons for support in his old age. With a gloomy face, he took the blame for Old Second Gu: "This is not Old Second's fault, it's me... I hired someone to take action against the Lu family, but she exposed me..."
The more Old Man Gu spoke, the lower his head he lowered.
When he spoke the last part, his voice was as thin as a mosquito.
We are a family, and the brothers look at each other.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Isn’t Lu Yan just a woman?
How could they possibly expose this? Everyone except Gu Lao Er was filled with disbelief.
Old Man Gu gritted his teeth and spoke each word clearly, "That Lu is obviously quite skilled. That day... we were saved... in the mountains... by her."
Although Old Man Gu was unwilling to accept this fact.
But things have developed to this point today, and it's useless even if he doesn't want to admit it.
The air was quiet for a moment.
The brothers hung their heads, unable to utter a word.
Only Song Jiao'e frowned tightly.
Song Jiao'e opened her mouth in disbelief: "Dad, what did you say? Lu Yan knows martial arts?"
How is this possible?
Lu Yan died a miserable death in his previous life, how could he be a martial artist?
"Yes." Old Man Gu gritted his teeth, his face serious: "If it weren't for her, we would have been killed by the wolves that day."
Listening to what Old Man Gu said, Song Jiao'e felt her head buzzing.
Why is it different?
She was clearly a favored child of heaven, and everything was clearly under her control, so how come Lu Yan suddenly appeared and disrupted all her plans?
"I know." Song Jiao'e's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had suddenly realized something: "Dad, I know."
"Lu Yan must have helped Lao Wu, so he was able to escape from the bear's mouth. In the previous life..." Song Jiao'e was halfway through her words when she realized that she almost exposed her secret because of her excitement.
Song Jiao'e clearly remembered that Gu Laowu had also killed a black bear in his previous life.
At that time, Gu Laoer came to their house to sell black bears, and that was how she got to know Gu Laoer.
"They must have hidden the black bear." Song Jiao'e pursed her lips, her expression serious. "That's hundreds of taels of silver. They're so rich, and they still cheated twenty taels from my parents... and there's also the ten taels that Lu Yan extorted from me before..."
Song Jiao'e's words filled Lu Yan with hatred.
The Gu brothers, who had originally targeted Gu Lao Er, all looked unhappy after hearing what Song Jiao'e said.
Several hundred taels.
If it weren't for Lu Yan, all that money would have belonged to the Gu family.
And now, because of a woman, Lao Wu has completely separated from them.
"No, we can't let them get away with it so easily." Old man Gu gritted his teeth, hatred slowly spreading from his eyes.
"Dad, tell me what to do."
Boss Gu was silent for a moment and finally spoke again.
Old Man Gu looked up at his son in surprise.
He didn't expect that just because of Lu Yan, his sons would become united as one.
"Second son's wife," Old Man Gu paused, his expression serious and solemn: "Based on our family's current situation, we will most likely have to flee the famine. I wonder if my in-laws can..."
Although it's a bit hard to say this.
But the matter was already in front of him, so Old Man Gu simply stopped being pretentious.
He paused, then said seriously, "Can you lend us some money? We'll need a lot of money to escape the famine along the way. Especially you... Since you've married into our family, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
What Old Man Gu said sounded nice.
Song Jiao'e felt very relieved.
Now that her mother had been rescued by Lu Yan, it would probably be easier for her to report to her father. With this favor in her heart, she would definitely be able to establish a relationship with her family again.
"Dad, I'll talk to you tomorrow after I send my mother back."
Although Song Jiao'e looked down on the brothers of the Gu family, she was waiting for the second brother Gu to become successful.
There is nothing wrong in offering him support now.
"As for Lu Yan..." Old Man Gu looked solemn and subconsciously stroked his beard.
He looked at his sons, and it was obvious that none of them were good at fighting.
It's impossible for him to be Lu Yan's opponent.
But this matter cannot be covered up so easily.
Old Man Gu thought about it and simply walked to the kang cabinet next to him.
He sighed slightly and took out a medicine bag from inside.
After seeing this scene, the brothers of the Gu family were a little confused about what Old Man Gu meant.
A few people looked at each other.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Gu Laosi was silent for a long time and finally spoke.
Now, he should be the person who hates Lu Yan the most.
But Gu Laosi never thought that if he had not been so greedy, this incident would not have happened today.
"This is a drug left by a traveling doctor who came by our house to beg for food a few years ago." Old Man Gu paused and said, "Since we can't use force, this is the only way."
He sighed and looked at his sons: "Wait until Lao Wu and Lu Yan fall asleep, then go into the house and find the things from before."
After Old Man Gu finished saying this, his sons were all eager to try.
I have to say, it has to be Old Man Gu.
There are even drugs.
"father."
At this moment, Song Jiao'e suddenly spoke up: "We can't keep the fifth brother's wife here. If she finds out it was us who did it, I'm afraid things will get even worse."
Wildfires cannot be extinguished, they will spring up again with the spring breeze.
Song Jiao'e finally understood this time.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The old widower of the Zhang family at the entrance of the village has never been able to find a wife. As long as the fifth brother's wife follows him, he will still be our family's cash cow. You only need to divide the sixth branch out."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Song Jiao'e.
I have to say, this is indeed a good idea.
It goes without saying how much benefit Gu Laowu has brought to the Gu family over the years. Old Gu is also reluctant to part with Gu Linbei from the bottom of his heart.
