There was a commotion in the main hall, and Lu Yan just remembered that in this era, half a catty is equal to eight ounces.
So one catty is equivalent to sixteen taels in later generations.
The meat that Gu Linbei gave today was indeed a generous gift.
Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu also looked unhappy. Mr. Gu was sitting in the house smoking a pipe. In the yard, except for Gu Linxuan and his wife, almost everyone from the other families was there.
The eldest wife of the Gu family, Gu Lincheng and his wife Wang Zhaodi.
The second branch of the Gu family, Gu Linming and Song Jiao'e.
The third branch of the Gu family, Gu Linfeng and Yang Cuihua.
The fourth branch of the Gu family, Gu Linyuan and Wan Mei.
These people in front of them only existed on paper before, but now they all appeared in front of Lu Yan and Yu Nian in reality.
It's this kind of family that eats their flesh and blood and doesn't even spit out the bones.
As for the next generation of wives and children, they should be having fun in the backyard right now.
As Lu Yan and Gu Linbei entered, everyone in the room turned their heads to look over there. After seeing Gu Linbei clearly, Old Lady Gu snorted in displeasure.
"You still remember to come back? That wild boar should belong to us, and you just gave it away like that!"
When Mrs. Gu first heard that Gu Linbei had killed a wild boar, she was very excited. But when Gu Linbei said in front of the whole village that he would give her three pounds of meat, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Well, thank them for helping me find Lu Yan."
Gu Linbei spoke directly, with no intention of giving face to Old Lady Gu.
"you……"
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could rush up and slap Gu Linbei right now.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan raised her hand to cover her mouth.
She looked incredulous.
"Mom, so this is the reason why you went outside to slander Lao Liu?" Lu Yan's face was full of surprise, and her eyes were full of shock when she looked at Old Lady Gu.
Everyone in the Gu family looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Yan meant.
Only Song Jiao'e's eyelids twitched.
Before Lu Yan married into the Lu family, she and Old Lady Gu had carefully investigated Lu Yan's background. Knowing that Lu Yan was a worthless person, they married her back.
Why is it that after marrying this guy, he acts like a madman?
As Song Jiao'e's eyelids twitched wildly, Old Mrs. Gu also felt a little guilty.
She had thought carefully about what she had said on the way back just now. If Lao Liu knew that she said those words, he might even become estranged from her.
"What's wrong with me? I'm just telling the truth. Lu Yan, you're just a shameless person..."
Before Mrs. Gu could finish her words, the door of Room 6 opened.
Gu Linxuan's voice came from the room: "Then why don't you repeat what you just said so that your son can hear it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Gu’s back stiffened.
She pursed her lips and wanted to speak several times but stopped herself.
Seeing that Old Lady Gu was hesitant and unable to speak for a long time, Lu Yan decided to help her: "Sixth brother, mother didn't say anything else. She just said that you made Yu Nian a widow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Gu family yard fell silent.
"Lu Yan, you..."
Old Mrs. Gu didn't expect Lu Yan to be so fierce.
Just one sentence and she won't be able to do it.
Old Mrs. Gu stood there, her face filled with embarrassment. When she spoke, her words were filled with apology: "Sixth Brother, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me!"
After saying that, Old Mrs. Gu did not forget to stretch her neck to look into the house.
However, Gu Linxuan remained silent.
The faces of the brothers of the Gu family were not looking good either.
Although the matter that was publicized was about the sixth son of the Gu family, with such a talkative mother, their future life would be difficult.
Old Mrs. Gu was holding a pipe in her hand, her face looking tired.
“You, you, you…”
Old Man Gu gritted his teeth and looked at Old Lady Gu: "What can I say about you?"
When Mrs. Gu heard what Old Man Gu said, she was speechless for a moment.
She just couldn't control herself in a fit of anger and said these words. But she definitely didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to remind Yu Nian not to get so close to Lu Yan.
After all, Lu Yan's mouth is really too poisonous.
If Yu Nian was really led astray by her, life would not be easy for Old Lady Gu, the head of the family.
"Dad, it is said that marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. Look at our mother..." Lu Yan sighed slightly, looking like he didn't want to say more.
In the original book, Old Man Gu was a relatively honest man.
But the old witch, Mrs. Gu, was very evil. In the end, Gu Linbei and Gu Linxuan died on the way to escape famine. Old man Gu always mentioned his two sons with regret.
But Old Mrs. Gu never thought there was anything wrong with her sucking blood from the two children.
On the contrary, Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with their efforts.
"Oh, what a sin."
Lu Yan has mastered the art of adapting to local customs to the extreme. With just a few words, she has already sowed discord between Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu.
Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth, not understanding how she had managed to bring back something like Lu Yan.
"Dad, why don't you divorce your wife? Our children are all grown up and won't have any objection to you looking for a second life."
Just when Mrs. Gu was about to continue crying and wailing, Lu Yan stabbed her again.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the sons of the Gu family, except the fifth and sixth sons, stared at Lu Yan as if he were their enemy.
The daughters-in-law looked like they were watching a show.
As for Old Mrs. Gu, she was already panicking at this moment.
She didn't understand why, after just a few words, he already mentioned divorcing his wife. She subconsciously looked not at Lu Yan, but at the old man Gu beside her.
Old man Gu was holding a pipe in his hand, his eyes gloomy.
To Old Lady Gu, it looked as if she was considering whether Lu Yan's words were feasible.
In just that instant, fear crept up my tailbone.
Spread all over the body.
"What nonsense are you talking about? As a daughter-in-law, how can you be qualified to meddle in your father-in-law's affairs?" Old Mrs. Gu took a long time to find her voice. She glared at Lu Yan unhappily, and there was obviously some displeasure in her words.
"If you ask me, that's really hard to hear."
Old Mrs. Gu deliberately reminded Old Man Gu again.
Old Man Gu didn't say anything, as if he was thinking.
"I say, Lao Wu, it's not a decent way for you to be a daughter-in-law!" The speaker was Boss Gu.
Lu Yan shrugged nonchalantly: "What goes around comes around! If my mother hadn't bought me back to work as a laborer to serve you and your family, I wouldn't have pushed you so hard, right?"
What Lu Yan said was true.
But often, people have no way to deal with those who come straight to the point.
Especially Mrs. Gu, her true feelings were touched and she almost lost her composure.
"Lu Yan, you..."
Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth.
By now, she finally understood.
This daughter-in-law cannot be controlled directly.
She was about to speak, but was interrupted.
"That's enough." Old man Gu had a gloomy face and finally spoke coldly.
