Chapter 124 Extra Gu Yan
After finishing their meal, the two did not take a nap as usual, but waited for Gu Chongshan and the others to come.
Based on Gu Yan's understanding of them, they will definitely come here this afternoon at the latest.
It must be said that Gu Yan did understand Gu Chongshan. Not long after the meal, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua came to his house.
However, Gu Yan was wrong about one thing, that is, Zhang Cuihua did not come with him.
"Mom and Dad, you're here." Gu Yan invited Gu Chongshan and Zhang Cuihua into the house.
"Mom and Dad, these are the mountain products fried by Gu Yan. Please try them." Li Wanqing brought the basket of mountain products and placed it in front of Zhang Cuihua.
"How many months has your belly been like this, third brother? Judging from the size, it must be at least four or five months, right?" Zhang Cuihua said, looking at Li Wanqing's big belly.
"Well, five months." Li Wanqing said lightly.
"The expected date of delivery is at the end of July or the beginning of August. Although it will be the autumn harvest time, it will be a bit busy, but your fields have all been rented out, so it's not too bad.
The most important thing is that the weather isn't as hot as it is now, so confinement can be more comfortable," said Zhang Dahua.
"I think so too. Fortunately, I am not in confinement during the hottest days of summer, otherwise I would have gone crazy." Li Wanqing said thankfully.
"That's right, Mr. Third, are you going to give birth here or somewhere else?" Zhang Cuihua asked.
"She gave birth outside. It was the autumn harvest time, and Gu Yan had to keep an eye on the farm. Besides, it was not convenient to find a doctor in the mountains." Li Wanqing did not hide it.
"That's fine. Are you all still going out to dig medicinal herbs? There are so many medicinal herbs in these mountains. It would be a pity if we don't dig them up and let them rot in the mountains." Zhang Dahua said.
"Yes, your mother is right. It would be a waste if we don't dig up the herbs. Besides, this mountain is so big, you can't dig up all the herbs by yourself."
Third brother, I know you have a grudge against us, but no matter how much you resent us, we are still a family.
I know you may not like to hear what I say, but I have to say it even if you don't like it.
We ignored you at the beginning, so it's normal for you to blame us, but your elder brother and others have never done anything wrong to you.
You shouldn't blame them. "And let's be frank, life isn't always smooth sailing. If you run into trouble in the future, you'll still have to count on your brothers to help you," Gu Chongshan said earnestly.
"They didn't do anything to me? But they weren't nice to me either, were they?
I still can't forget that after my grandparents passed away, I went back to live with you.
At that time, the way they looked at me was that I felt I was redundant.
The same goes for when we eat. No matter who serves the rice, it is only for your family of six. My bowl is always empty at the dinner table.
And when I went out hunting, how many times did you forget to leave food for me? I came back hungry and cooked for myself?
And the clothes I wear and the shoes on my feet, even if they are broken or torn, have you ever taken care of me except going out to buy new ones or mending them myself?
There are many things like this, so I don’t need to list them one by one, right?
So don't tell me about brothers being of the same mind now, I don't have any brothers here." Gu Yan said angrily.
"How could you say that, Third Brother? Yes, we did ignore you at that time, I admit that.
But with so many children at home, how can I take care of so many people?
Moreover, you had your grandparents to take care of you when you were a child. When your grandparents died, you were already old enough to take care of yourself.
"We also found you a wife, and you spent more money on her than your elder brother did." Zhang Dahua immediately retorted when she heard Gu Yan's complaint.
"Don't you need your parents anymore when you grow up? It's not like I didn't come back to look for you when I was little. What did you say? What did you do?
You said you had to take care of Gu Bei and had no time to see me, so you asked me to go back to see my grandparents.
Gu Bei pushed me to the ground, beat me, and kicked me. Not only did you not scold him, you even said I was disobedient and told me not to go back.
I remember I was five years old that year, right? I thought my parents would come back to find you.
You steamed egg custard for Gu Bei and fed him mouthful by mouthful.
And I just watched from the side, drooling.
A five-year-old child, even if he is from the neighbor's family, should be given a bite for the sake of face, right?
What happened? My biological mother fed my biological brother right in front of me, without giving me a single bite.
Gu Bei was making faces at me while eating, and I can still remember that scene vividly.
How dare you say they are my brothers?
Besides, speaking of getting married, did you pay for my marriage?
I remember I took a lot of money home.
Not to mention the distant past, just last year, before I got married, I hunted a deer and two wild boars, which I sold for more than eighty taels of silver in total.
I thought about who spent all the money I earned. Oh, right, at that time, Gu Bei was clamoring to marry Li Yingdi.
Xiao Zhuzi happened to be sick and needed to see a doctor quickly. Also, Gu Bei bought a silver bracelet for Li Yingdi, and Zhang Cuihua also wanted one, so you finally bought her one too.
Need I say more? So don't say things like my family found me a wife.
I earned my own money to marry my wife, and my grandparents raised me since I was a child." Gu Yan loudly expressed his grievances.
“I…I didn’t know you’d remembered my childhood memories for so many years.
It’s not that I don’t want to give you the egg custard, it’s your second brother who makes a fuss when I give it to you.
Your second brother is not in good health, and he will curl up if he cries too much." Zhang Dahua stammered in explanation. She was too guilty to even look Gu Yan in the eye.
"Dahua, is what Lao San said true? He came to see you, and did you really let him watch Gu Bei eat egg custard?
Did you really tell the Third Brother not to come looking for you again?" Gu Chongshan asked in shock.
Gu Chongshan never thought that such a thing had happened. At that time, he was busy hunting to make money to support his family and really didn't know about it.
"I...I didn't mean to do that. At that time, the second child started crying when he saw the third child coming back.
You also know that the second child is in poor health and sticks out when he cries, so how could I dare to let the third child go back?" Zhang Dahua knew she was in the wrong and defended herself quietly.
Gu Chongshan sat there with a grim expression, thinking to himself, no wonder the third brother hated them so much.
If he were the third child, he would not be close to such parents and brothers.
A five-year-old child went to see his parents with great expectations, but his mother not only did not stop him when his brother beat him, but also told him not to come again in the future.
Even when he made steamed egg custard, he only gave it to his brother, who was two years older than him, and asked him to watch from the side.
Is this still my mother? Even my relatives and neighbors wouldn't do such a thing, right?
Thinking about it now, Gu Chongshan felt sad when he saw a little boy with tears in his eyes watching his mother feeding his brother egg custard.
It’s no wonder that the third brother still holds a grudge, but things have already happened, and even if he wants to make amends, he can’t go back to the past.
