Chapter 286 The Second Family is Good
After discussing seeing a doctor, they decided who would take care of Zhang Dahua.
Now Zhang Dahua is bedridden and needs someone to take care of her. It is definitely not an option to just leave Zhang Dahua to Gu Chongshan.
"Since Mom and Dad are staying with the second son for the time being, let's discuss who will take care of Mom in the future.
Although my parents live with the second son, we can’t leave everything to him.
I was thinking we should take turns taking care of them, what do you think? " Logically speaking, Gu Nian is the eldest child, so it should be them who take care of their parents.
But Gu Nian has selfish motives and doesn't want to take on too much.
Taking care of a bedridden patient is not an easy job. If there is no one to take over, even a good person will become sick.
"I have no objection. What about you, Old Four?" Gu Bei said.
"I have no objection. But big brother and second brother, have we forgotten about the third brother?" Gu Chuan just remembered that they forgot to inform Gu Yan in their busy schedule.
"Ah? Yes, yes, I said that I always felt that I had forgotten something. It turns out that I forgot the third brother." Gu Nian patted his forehead.
"Yes, we were so anxious that we forgot about the third brother. I will ask someone to send a message to the third brother tomorrow.
No, it's too slow to deliver the message. I'll go to his house in person tomorrow." Gu Bei also said.
"It's time to call the third brother back. The four of you brothers have to make the decision together.
"Second brother, go to the third brother's farm early tomorrow morning. There's a carriage on the farm. Ask someone to drive the carriage and take you there," said Gu Chongshan.
Today's incident happened suddenly, and they indeed forgot to inform the third brother. But it's not too late to remember now.
"Oh, I understand, Dad." Gu Bei agreed.
Just at this time, Dong Wan came in and said that the food was ready.
The father and his sons went out to eat, and when it was time to go to bed, they couldn't sleep.
The small courtyard that Gu Bei rented had only three rooms, one of which was the main room, where he usually cooked and ate.
The east room is Gu Bei and Dong Wan's room, and the west room is where Zhiwen and Shuanzi live.
Now that Gu Chongshan and the others have arrived, isn’t there no place to stay?
"Dad, you and Mom will live in our room, and sister-in-law and Dong Wan will live in Zhiwen's room.
As for the eldest brother, the fourth brother, Zhiwen, and Shuanzi, the rest of us will have to sleep on the floor." This is how Gu Bei arranged it.
No one noticed it just now, but now everyone has discovered that Gu Bei’s house is really not spacious.
It turned out that it was fine for just their family, even if Shuanzi was included, but Shuanzi could share a room with Zhiwen and it wouldn't be a problem.
But if Gu Chongshan, Zhang Dahua and others live here in the future, there won’t be enough space.
It’s impossible for Gu Bei and Dong Wan to sleep on the floor all the time, right?
"Second brother, your place is still too small. There won't be enough room for parents to live here. I think we should rent a house for them, right?
We are four brothers, so it won’t cost that much money.”
Gu Nian said this because Gu Bei's house really didn't have many rooms, and there really wasn't enough room for his parents to live there.
Second, he also has his selfish motives. Don't forget, his son Shuanzi is still living with Gu Bei.
Although Shuanzi failed to pass the examination for the title of Tongsheng this time, it was because he started studying late. After two years, Shuanzi would definitely pass the examination.
If my parents come to live with me and there is a patient at home, it will definitely affect the embolism.
When Gu Bei heard what Gu Nian said, his eyes flashed, but quickly disappeared.
The reason why Gu Bei took the initiative to let Zhang Dahua and Gu Chongshan stay at his house was because he was sure that as long as Gu Chongshan knew that there were not enough rooms in their house, they would not be able to stay there.
I would definitely refuse to live in his house.
If he said this on his own initiative, his parents would definitely be touched, and even his brothers would have to admit that he was filial and righteous.
After all, he has several brothers, and he took the initiative to let his parents live with him. Isn't that filial piety?
He just took the initiative to bring it up, and he wouldn't suffer any loss. Moreover, his parents and brothers would say good things about him. So why not do it?
Isn’t this what’s happening now? As soon as he saw there was no room, my eldest brother proposed it without my father saying anything.
Gu Bei thought so in his heart, but he would not say it out loud: "Well, it's okay, the weather is hot now, it's okay for Dong Wan and I to sleep on the floor.
The most important thing now is Mom's illness. As long as Mom gets better, I'd be happy even if I have to sleep on the floor for the rest of my life."
Gu Chongshan was indeed very touched. He knew that he and his wife had not loved the second son in vain for so many years.
But the second son is filial, and he can't let such a filial child suffer any loss.
"Second brother, Dad knows you are filial, but Dad can't let you suffer any loss.
Let’s put it this way. When the third brother comes tomorrow, you guys can discuss renting a small yard for me and your mother.
You don't have to rent in town, you can rent in the village, it's cheaper that way." Gu Chongshan said, looking at Gu Bei with pity on his face.
"Why go through so much trouble? Third brother has a farm, so can't parents just live there?" Gu Chuan didn't want to spend extra money, so he thought of Gu Yan's farm.
"It would be great to live in the third brother's farm, but I'm afraid he won't agree," said Gu Nian.
Gu Chongshan was also very tempted, as they had all been to the third brother's farm.
The houses on the farm are also made of blue bricks and large tiles, and the most important thing is to be able to live on the farm.
At least there is no shortage of food, and there are many chickens and ducks on the farm, so there is no shortage of eggs.
There are servants on the farm who can take care of the old couple on a regular basis.
I’m just afraid that the third brother won’t agree.
"Let's talk about it after seeing the third brother tomorrow. No matter what, we have to discuss it with him." Gu Bei also preferred to let his parents live in the third brother's farm.
But this is not something they can do just by thinking about it, they need the third brother's consent.
After talking for a while, they went to sleep.
Gu Bei got up early the next morning. He was going to the county town to find Gu Yan.
"Dad, I'm going to find the third brother right now. You brothers, don't go back today. Let's discuss it when the third brother comes." Gu Bei took a piece of cake and said while chewing it.
"Okay, go ahead." Gu Chongshan was also drinking porridge.
Dong Wan and Zhang Cuihua made breakfast today together. It wasn't anything complicated, just corn grits porridge and multi-grain cakes.
Gu Bei was not particularly wealthy, and he could not afford rice and flour for so many people.
However, Dong Wan still cooked a bowl of rice porridge for Zhang Dahua.
Even though it was just a bowl of porridge, it made Gu Chongshan have a better impression of Dong Wan.
This person is afraid of comparison. When Li Yingdi was the head of the second house, they had never eaten porridge, let alone a grain of rice.
All day long he was thinking about how to get things from Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua. Anyway, in all these years, Li Yingdi had never given anything to the old couple.
"The second brother's family is good." Gu Chongshan said in front of everyone.
After receiving Gu Chongshan's praise, Dong Wan straightened her back unconsciously.
She is Gu Bei's second wife, or to put it bluntly, a concubine.
She originally decided to marry Gu Bei because she thought Zhiwen would have a bright future.
But she also knew that she was not welcome in this family.
Both her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law looked down on her.
Although she had considered this situation when she decided to marry Gu Bei, she still felt uncomfortable.
