Chapter 203: Slowly Plan
"Brother, fourth brother, this is it." Guo Erlang led everyone to the door of Gu Yan's house.
"This... is the third brother's house? This is too big, right?" Zhang Cuihua opened her mouth in astonishment.
"How many houses are there? Can the third brother's family of four live here?" Gu Nian sighed as he looked at the tall wall in front of him.
"Third brother is so awesome, this big house must be worth a fortune, right?
Oh my god, how can Third Brother be so capable? He can even afford such a big house. "Gu Chuan sighed as he looked at the vermilion gate in front of him.
"Am I right? Third brother's house is very big." Guo Erlang said.
"Well, I didn't expect that the third brother actually bought such a big house. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." Gu Nian said.
"Wait a minute, I'll go knock on the door." Guo Erlang said as he went forward and knocked on the door.
"Here they come, here they come, who is it?" Footsteps were heard coming from far away.
"Hey? Son-in-law? Why are you here?" Guangming asked Guo Erlang, who had come the day before yesterday.
"Hehe, these are your master's eldest brother and sister-in-law and fourth brother and his wife. Go and call your master." Guo Erlang puffed out his chest, acting like a real master.
Although Gu Nian and the others felt that this was not a good idea, they did not say anything considering that it was their first time here.
"What a coincidence, isn't it? My master is out. Only my wife and the young master are home.
If you want to see my master, you'd better come back in a few days." Guangming had no intention of letting them in and still blocked the door.
"Then we'll go find Third Sister-in-law." There was no way Guo Erlang would be willing to go back like this.
"Then wait a moment, I'll go and report to the lady." Guangming said, and slammed the door shut.
Guangming is just a servant, and even if he doesn't like Guo Erlang, he can't be the master's boss.
"Wait a moment, Third Sister-in-law should be out soon." Guo Erlang said as he returned to Gu Nian.
But he was wrong. Li Wanqing did not come out to greet them, but just asked Guangming to take them in.
"Everyone, please follow me." The light appeared again, and this time the door was opened wide.
Gu Nian, Guo Erlang and others followed Guangming into the yard.
Looking at the large blue brick and tile house in front of them, except for Guo Erlang and Gu Xiang who had seen it once, everyone else was shocked.
Guangming took them directly to the living room, where Li Wanqing was already waiting.
"Brother and sister-in-law, fourth brother and fourth brother's wife, why are you here? Is something wrong at home?" Li Wanqing asked directly.
"There's nothing wrong at home. We heard that the prices of mountain products in the county are high, so we wanted to try selling them here.
Erlang happened to mention you were here, so I stopped by to take a look." Gu Nian, the eldest brother, stepped forward and said.
"I'm glad nothing happened. With so many of you coming here so early in the morning, I thought something had happened," said Li Wanqing.
"It's okay, it's okay. We just heard Erlang say so and came to take a look." Zhang Cuihua looked at Li Wanqing, and her flattery was unlike her.
"Third sister-in-law, where is third brother? He is not at home?" Although Guangming had just said that Gu Yan was not at home, Gu Chuan still asked.
"Well, he went out and it will take a few days for him to come back." Li Wanqing replied.
"It will take several days for him to come back? Where has Third Brother been?" Gu Chuan asked casually.
"I'm going to the provincial capital to do some business. I estimate it will take three or four days." This is not something that cannot be said, and Li Wanqing didn't care and just told the truth.
Gu Nian's heart moved, and he remembered what Guo Erlang said, that Gu Yan still had a shop in the capital city.
It seems to be true, otherwise why would Gu Yan go to the provincial capital for no reason?
Since Gu Yan is not at home, it will be difficult for them to spend a long time with their younger brother and sister-in-law.
Now he was extremely grateful that Zhang Cuihua and the others came with him.
"Brother, have some tea." Guangming brought in some tea.
"Oh, I've walked for such a long time, my throat is so thirsty that it's smoking." Zhang Cuihua didn't hesitate and picked up the tea bowl and drank it in two gulps.
One bowl was not enough, so he poured himself another bowl.
After traveling for half a day, they were indeed thirsty, and each of them drank at least two cups.
"Third sister-in-law, let your eldest sister-in-law and the others stay here first. The fourth brother and I will go sell the mountain products." Gu Nianxian put down the tea bowl and said.
Li Wanqing nodded and asked Guangming to take them out. Guo Erlang also followed.
Otherwise, he would not feel comfortable staying in a room full of women.
After they left, Zhang Cuihua came up to Li Wanqing and said, "Third sister-in-law, where is Hengheng? Why can't I see him?"
"Hengheng? Is the maid taking him to play in the garden?
We were just planting vegetables. I heard you were coming and wanted to bring him in, but he said he had nothing to do and hadn't played enough.
There's nothing we can do but let the maid look after him," Li Wanqing explained.
"Oh, Third Sister-in-law is so lucky, she even needs a maid?
Unlike us, who are still struggling to survive in the mountains.
"But it's true, Third Brother is promising. The house is so big that you can't clean it all by yourself," Zhang Cuihua said enviously.
"Indeed, the place is so big that I couldn't clean it even if I died of exhaustion, so I bought two maids." Li Wanqing said.
"Wanqing, your house is so big, you must be too busy to take care of it normally, right?
How about letting Big Girl and Little Girl stay and help you?
You know my two girls, they can do all the housework.
You have to spend money to buy people and pay them monthly wages, but it’s different if you let them stay and help.
You don't have to spend a penny, just give them a bite to eat." Zhang Cuihua said, looking at Li Wanqing expectantly.
Even the eldest and second daughters looked at Li Wanqing with anticipation.
Li Wanqing was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw Zhang Cuihua treating her like a fool. How stupid must she be to raise someone else's daughter?
Zhang Cuihua now says that she wants her daughter to come and help without asking for any wages, but when the time comes she will definitely have a different excuse.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm stupid? I have maids and servants at home, so I don't need my niece's help.
My two nieces are grown up now. Girls only stay with their parents for a few years, so let them stay with you." Li Wanqing refused without hesitation.
Just kidding, she is not stupid. If she agrees to let the two girls stay today, will she help them find a husband in the future?
What about the dowry? Oh, she worked for you in your house for several years, and now she's getting married, can you really let her go empty-handed?
Zhang Cuihua is really calculating, but Li Wanqing is not a fool either.
"Well, I just thought that you are too busy at home, so I wanted them to stay and help you." Zhang Cuihua looked like she was doing this for Li Wanqing's own good.
"No, I have enough family members." Li Wanqing had no room to refuse.
Zhang Cuihua was angry when she saw that Li Wanqing didn't give her any face at all, but she knew that they had a bad relationship with Li Wanqing, so if they wanted to achieve their goal, they could only take it step by step.
