Chapter 158: Too biased
Gu Chongshan's words made Gu Yan heartbroken and Li Wanqing furious.
What hurt Gu Yan was that although he had given up on his family, Gu Chongshan's words were undoubtedly a stab in his heart.
And after all, Gu Chongshan is Gu Yan's biological father. Although Gu Yan was heartbroken and disappointed, he still had some thoughts in his heart.
Now that he is being bullied by his own father, one can imagine how Gu Yan feels.
Li Wanqing was completely furious. She couldn't understand why the emperor was so partial to his biological son.
A father can force his son to help his other sons by saying something like "kneel down in front of him".
This father doesn't care about his son at all.
Now whatever Gu Yan said was wrong, so Li Wanqing put on her shoes, got off the kang, and pulled Gu Yan behind her to protect her.
Then he stood in front of Gu Chongshan, looked at him and said, "Old man, you don't have to force Gu Yan. I tell you the truth, I don't recognize Gu Yan's teachings.
Even without me telling you, the old man knows that Gu Yan has never learned how to collect herbs except hunting.
I taught him all these, in other words, these are the dowry I brought.
These are the things I want to pass on to my own children. No one else can teach them.
Since he ignored Gu Yan in the past, please continue to ignore him in the future.
When you are old, the pension money we pay will not be less than Gu Bei and others. Of course, it will not be more either.
I've never seen you guys be so partial. What? Are you planning to force Gu Yan to death for your other sons?
You say you're not biased, but I see, you're not biased at all, you're clearly biased beyond measure."
Li Wanqing didn't care that the man in front of her was her father-in-law, and she kept talking.
Gu Chongshan felt a little regretful after saying it, but he was a father, and even if he regretted it, he couldn't say sorry.
Now that Li Wanqing had criticized him, he felt even more ashamed.
He hurriedly said, "If you don't want to teach me, then don't teach me. Who cares?
Humph! From now on, just take care of your wife and children. Let's see who will help you in the future, big or small."
After saying this, Gu Chongshan walked away quickly in anger.
"Gu Yan, my husband, you..." After Gu Chongshan left, Li Wanqing wanted to turn around and comfort Gu Yan.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan hugged her from behind: "Thank you, my dear wife. I'm lucky to have you."
"You still have me and your son. My mother and I will always stand by you." Li Wanqing held Gu Yan's hand.
"I know, I just feel a little unhappy." Gu Yan said.
Li Wanqing let him hold her for a while, then broke free from him, let him sit on the kang, and she went to heat up the food.
"You take care of Xuanxuan, I'll make you another bowl of dumpling soup." Li Wanqing said.
Before Gu Yan had time to eat, Gu Chongshan and others arrived.
The dumpling soup on the table is now too lumpy to eat.
"Don't bother, just get me a bowl of food from the space." Gu Yan quickly stopped Li Wanqing.
"No, it's not good to eat such greasy food at night. Wait a moment, it will be quick." Li Wanqing said and walked out.
Gu Yan didn't stop him. If it were usual, he would definitely go by himself and not let Li Wanqing suffer.
But he was in a really bad mood today, so he just waited to eat something ready-made.
Li Wanqing not only made dumpling soup, but also made two egg pancakes for him.
"The meal is ready. Are you hungry? Eat quickly." Li Wanqing brought in the meal.
"Wanqing's cooking skills are really good. This dumpling soup smells so delicious." Gu Yan praised as he took the bowl from Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing knew that he was lying, but she was still very happy.
"You're so smooth-talking. Eat quickly." Li Wanqing said coquettishly.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it really smells good. Why don't you try it?" Gu Yan said.
"Since it tastes good, you can eat more. I'm full, so I won't eat anymore," said Li Wanqing.
After finishing his meal, Gu Yan washed the dishes and put away all the pots and pans in the kitchen for future use.
The two of them didn't say anything more. After they finished cleaning up, they went to bed.
The next morning, the two of them packed up and set off.
Before leaving, lock the door to the house and the kitchen door and nail the windows with boards to ensure that the house will not be damaged when they come back next year.
"Let's go." Gu Yan put on the backpack and took Li Wanqing's hand.
Gu Yan also hunted down any pheasants or rabbits he encountered along the way, focusing on not missing any that he passed by.
When the sun came out and the weather became warmer, Li Wanqing brought Xuanxuan out of the space.
Xuanxuan is already more than three months old and can't stay in the space all the time, even though it's a little colder outside.
But Xuanxuan was wearing thick clothes and a small hat, so he was warm enough.
And it’s obvious that Xuanxuan also likes to be outside.
"Wife, let me hold Xuanxuan. You are already tired from traveling, it will be difficult for you to hold him.
This kid is really fat now, I estimate he must be around 15 or 16 pounds. My arms feel heavy after holding him for a long time." Gu Yan smiled and held Xuanxuan in his arms.
The fat boy also gave face to Gu Yan, his father, and smiled bitterly when he got into his arms.
Gu Yanxi kept saying: "Wife, look, Xuanxuan likes me too."
Li Wanqing smiled and watched Gu Yan coax the child.
"Oh~oh~, Xuanxuan likes daddy, right? Daddy likes you too.
When you grow up, Dad will teach you how to hunt and take you to dig medicinal herbs.
By the way, Daddy will send you to school to learn how to read and write. Maybe he can become a scholar or a juren, and let Daddy become a grandfather.
Huh? You agree too? Then it's a deal. Go to school and study hard, and pass the exam to become a scholar for Dad.
…………
It was rare for Gu Yan to be childish and echo the voice of Xuanxuan, a three-month-old baby.
Xuanxuan let out an "ah", and Gu Yan continued talking to himself for a long time.
Li Wanqing ignored the father and son and just followed Gu Yan on the road.
The family was talking and laughing so much that even the road seemed much shorter.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found a deserted place and Li Wanqing took out the carriage.
"You can take the calf first, I'll wait for you here.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to pull it off in one trip, and it won’t be convenient for me to follow it back and forth.” Li Wanqing said.
They couldn't go back to the county town directly, so they had to send the calves and lambs to the farm.
But this time they caught a lot, including eight calves and fifteen lambs.
It's definitely impossible to pull it back in one go, it would take two trips. That's why Li Wanqing asked Gu Yan to send it back first while she waited here.
Gu Yan thought about it and realized that it was true. He definitely couldn't pull it back in one go.
But he was also worried about letting Li Wanqing and her mother wait for him here.
"Or, my wife, why don't you come with me in the carriage? I'm worried about leaving you here alone." Gu Yan said after a moment of hesitation.
"Oh, it's okay. I'll just go back with you and then we can come out again. Otherwise, I'll have to find an excuse.
Just go and come back quickly; it won't take long."
