Chapter 202 Let’s go to the county town together
"The rift between the third brother and us is already deep, and it's difficult to redeem the relationship even if we want to now.
But most of his resentment is directed at me and your mother. You are brothers, and if you interact more, your relationship will gradually improve. "Gu Chongshan felt uncomfortable when he thought of Gu Yan.
If they had treated the third brother well at the beginning, he would not have turned against them.
However, Gu Chongshan also felt that he was wronged. There were many children in the family and it was impossible for him to take care of them all.
It’s just the older ones dragging the younger ones along. Just don’t let them get cold or hungry.
I've never seen any other child hold grudges as much as the third child.
"I know, Dad, I just want to go over and take a look.
Otherwise, when others talk about Third Brother, we can't not even know where he lives, right?" Gu Chuan said.
"Going to the county town? Otherwise, I'll go with you. What if Third Brother is not at home? What can you, a grown man, say to Third Sister-in-law?
We women have to be together to have something to say." Zhao Cuifang heard that they were going to the county town tomorrow and was eager to follow.
She has never been to the county town in her life. She also wants to go and broaden her horizons.
When Zhang Cuihua heard that Zhao Cuifang wanted to go, she couldn't sit still anymore.
The county town? Who wouldn’t want to go there? She wanted to go too.
"Mom and Dad, why don't I go with them? I'm the eldest sister-in-law and should be close to my third brother's wife." Zhang Cuihua said.
"Why are you following us? We are just going to get acquainted with the place. We will come back if the third brother is not at home." Gu scolded in a young voice.
"What do you think I'm going to do? I must have my own things to do.
Mom and Dad, I want to take Da Niu and Er Niu to visit his third uncle’s house.
The two girls are grown up now, it's time for them to go out and see the world." Zhang Cuihua glared at Gu Nian, then turned to Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Dahua understood what she meant.
Seeing the third brother and his family go to the county town, he had an idea in his mind. He wanted the eldest and second daughters to marry in the county town in the future.
But Zhang Dahua was not optimistic about this matter, not to mention whether the third brother and the others would care about it.
They say that it is considered marrying up for a girl from the mountains to marry into a town, and people in the county town have higher standards, so how could they possibly look down on a girl from the mountains?
"Cuihua'er, forget about the two girls, but it's not appropriate for so many people to go." Zhang Dahua said.
"Why not, mother? Third brother has a lot of work to do at home. If he's too busy, let the two girls stay there to help their sister-in-law.
Their third sister-in-law was born as a maid in a wealthy family. Apart from anything else, the rules and etiquette were already set.
Let them learn some manners from their third sister-in-law, so that they can find a good family to marry into in the future." Zhang Cuihua's mind was clattering.
Zhang Cuihua had a good idea. She let the eldest and second daughters stay in Gu Yan's house for a few years, saying that they were there to help. The third daughter had maids and old women at home, so there was no need for two little girls.
But she was serious about letting the two girls learn some rules from the third son's wife.
After staying with the third brother's wife for a few years and developing feelings for her, she would then beg the third brother to find a husband for the two girls in the county town.
How could the two girls not think about their younger brother when they have become successful?
Yesterday, I was thinking of letting my two daughters marry in the town like Gu Xiang, but now when I heard that Gu Yan and his family have a house and a shop in the county town, I immediately changed my mind.
After Zhang Cuihua said this, everyone in the room who was not stupid knew what she was planning.
She wanted the third son to raise his two daughters for free, and then use the third son's help to find a husband for his two daughters in the county town.
I have to say that Zhang Cuihua had a good idea and had taken all aspects into consideration. If this succeeded, their family might be able to move to the county town in the future.
Even Gu Nian thought that Zhang Cuihua's wife was a good one. He felt happy when he thought about having two sons-in-law from the county town in the future.
Gu Chongshan also thought this was a good idea, but he was not thinking about his two granddaughters marrying into the county town in the future.
Instead, he felt that Gu Yan was estranged from his family and wanted to ease the relationship with him. Starting with the younger generation was a good idea.
As for the others, although they all saw something, they didn't take it seriously.
It's none of their business, so they just stay out of it. Whether Zhang Cuihua's plan succeeds or not is none of their business.
The family decided at the dinner table to go to the county town to find Gu Yan tomorrow.
After dinner, Gu Nian and Gu Chuan took Guo Erlang for a walk around Yejiling.
Shot two pheasants and a hare.
"Big brother, fourth brother, hunting is so easy! In just a short while, we've already killed two pheasants and a hare.
"Big brother, fourth brother, you must teach me. If I can master this skill, our family will never lack meat." Guo Erlang said excitedly, looking at the pheasant in his hand.
"Why, what's the big deal? Pheasants aren't worth much.
So, if you want to learn, I'll teach you how to set a trap." Gu Nian was envied by his brother-in-law in the town and felt very proud.
What's wrong with the mountains? They still look down on the hunters in the mountains. Look, they can eat meat just by going out for a walk.
All the brothers-in-law from this town envied him and wanted to learn hunting from him.
"Really? That's great. Thank you first, brother." Guo Erlang thanked him happily.
If he learns how to set traps in the future, no matter how much he can sell them for, at least he can make some money.
In the evening, Zhang Dahua cooked pheasant and rabbit. She made chicken soup with the pheasant and added noodles. She also stir-fried the rabbit with chili peppers.
Guo Erlang was naturally very satisfied with the meal. If the food was always like this, Guo Erlang would not want to go back.
It was impossible not to go back. Early the next morning, Gu Nian took Zhang Cuihua and his two daughters, Gu Chuan took Zhao Cuifang, and together with Gu Xiang and Guo Erlang, they set off together.
In the county town, Li Wanqing had no idea that a lot of trouble was about to come to her family.
She had just sent Xuanxuan to school, and after returning, she took Hengheng to grow vegetables in the garden.
Today, Gu Yan followed Li Yaren to the provincial capital to look after the shops and farms.
It was said that the prefect of Qingzhou was thrown into prison, his house was ransacked, and all his land and shops were sold.
Speaking of which, Li Yaren is also a capable man. He actually has connections in the provincial capital. Look, people in the provincial capital have passed him a message.
He hurriedly gathered some money yesterday, hoping to go to the provincial capital to find a bargain.
Because of her good relationship with Gu Yan, Li Wanqing took out medicinal herbs to save his father.
Also, he knew that Li Wanqing had some good medicinal herbs that could save lives.
He also wanted to curry favor with Gu Yan and Li Wanqing so that he could ask Li Wanqing for help if he needed anything in the future.
So Li Yaren also asked someone to tell Gu Yan that if Gu Yan was interested in buying a shop or something in the provincial capital.
Now is the chance, if you want to buy it you can go with him.
When Gu Yan heard this, he thought, "What are we waiting for?" Of course he had to go. After discussing it with Li Wanqing, he took the banknotes and left with Li Yaren early in the morning.
