Chapter 86 Uncle and Nephew
On the road leading to the farm, Aunt Gu was complaining, "Second brother, why did you insist on having Gu Yan's braised pork recipe? I don't know if it's right to bring you here."
"If I had no other choice, I wouldn't have come looking for him. Gu Yan, that little bastard, has become so disloyal now that he's grown up. Humph, I'm his second uncle.
Last time I went back, I specifically asked my eldest brother to call him, but he refused to go.
Okay, you are capable. If you don’t come to see me, your uncle, I can come to see you.
"But when my eldest brother and I went to his house, we found he had actually gone out. It was outrageous." Thinking about it now, Uncle Gu is still furious.
He originally thought that with his elder brother stepping forward, Gu Yan would definitely hand over the braised pork recipe obediently.
I didn't expect that Gu Lao San wouldn't even give his father face. He simply didn't come over.
He thought, if he didn't come over, he would go there himself. But when he got there, he saw that the door was locked and the couple had already escaped.
"If you ask me, since Gu Yan doesn't want to, then forget it. Otherwise, it will be so ugly if there is a commotion.
He didn't agree last time, but he will agree this time? Don't let that happen and you won't even have any relatives." Gu Xiaogu advised earnestly.
"We'll talk about it later. When did Gu Laosan buy this farm? His family has no idea about it.
If you hadn't told me this time, I would still be kept in the dark.
I don’t know if my eldest brother and the others know about it. No, I have to go back and talk to my eldest brother one day. "Uncle Gu said.
Gu Xiaogu is now regretting her decision. How could she have known that Gu Yan's family didn't even know about the farm he bought? If she knew, she would never tell anyone even if she was beaten to death.
A few days ago, Aunt Gu went to town and happened to meet Uncle Gu. The two of them chatted casually for a few minutes.
I don't know why, but when they talked about Da Zhuang, Gu Xiaogu casually mentioned that Da Zhuang was now working on Gu Yan's farm.
Second Uncle Gu really didn't know about this. It looked like his nephew was going to be rich.
Uncle Gu didn't expect that his nephew actually bought a farm. It seems that Li Wanqing, the maid and his niece-in-law, is not as simple as she seems.
Although Second Uncle Gu was unhappy, he was dissatisfied with Gu Yan's refusal to give him the secret recipe.
But the situation is different now. Who knows, this nephew will become successful someday.
He had offended Gu Yan and his wife before, and now he had to do his best to make amends. Even if he couldn't get the secret recipe, he couldn't continue to be enemies with them.
However, he did not tell these words to Gu Xiaogu. He just asked Gu Xiao to help keep an eye on Gu Yan and see when he would come to the farm.
If Gu Yan and the others come, let Gu Xiaogu go to the town to inform him.
As soon as Gu Yan and the others arrived today, Chen Dazhuang found out and went home to tell Gu Xiaogu.
Aunt Gu went to the town to find Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu immediately packed up his things, rented a carriage and came over.
Not only did he come himself, he also brought his son Gu Bin.
Uncle Gu hurried and finally met Gu Yan and the others at the gate of the farm.
"Hey, Gu Yan, where are you going?" When Aunt Gu saw Gu Yan, she quickly asked Uncle Gu to stop the carriage.
"It's my aunt? Why are you here?" Gu Yan was also surprised to see my aunt.
"Third brother, why can you only see your aunt? Why can't you see your second uncle?" Uncle Gu said dissatisfiedly.
"How could that be? I haven't had time to say hello to my second uncle yet," said Gu Yan.
"That's good, as long as you know it, we are uncle and nephew, and we are still connected.
"Well, I heard you bought a farm, so I came with your aunt to take a look," said Uncle Gu, acting like an elder.
"What a coincidence! We were just about to go back. How about we ask my second uncle to come over another day?" Gu Yan didn't want to deal with his second uncle, so he wanted to go home quickly.
"We're already at the door, why don't we go in and take a look? Don't worry, it won't take long.
"Third brother, you have made great progress. You have actually bought such a large farm. Our Gu family has a share of it." Uncle Gu said.
"Well, I'm just a nobody. I'm still far behind my second uncle. Besides, this farm doesn't belong to me, it belongs to my wife.
"Uncle, don't you know my situation? How could I possibly afford such a large farm?" Gu Yan said.
Second Uncle Gu believed what Gu Yan said. Not to mention Gu Yan, even his elder brother, Gu Yan's father, who had been hunting all his life, could not afford to buy a farm, let alone a few acres of good farmland.
Large wild animals are indeed valuable, but don't forget that the more valuable they are, the more dangerous it is to catch them.
Otherwise, why do they say that hunting is about risking your life to make money? If that's the case, then it's just enough to make a living.
Think about it, large animals aren't always available. Some people may not encounter one for years. Usually, they only see pheasants, roe deer, and the like. At most, they might hunt wild boar.
However, even if they hunted game, sold it for silver, and bought food and the necessities of life, they would not have much left.
"Don't you have to take care of your wife's future? It's all the same.
"Let's go, Third Brother, don't rush back yet. I have something else to talk to you about." Uncle Gu said.
Gu Yan had no choice but to drive the carriage back to the yard.
Li Wanqing had no choice but to get out of the car.
"Aunt, Uncle." Li Wanqing greeted them.
"Hey, Wanqing." Gu Xiaogu walked forward and held Li Wanqing's hand affectionately.
At this time, Uncle Gu's son, Gu Bin, also got out of the carriage. However, he didn't say hello to Gu Yan. He stood beside the carriage with his head held high as if someone owed him eight hundred yuan.
"Third brother, your cousin happens to be on leave today, so I brought him over to see you.
You brothers should get closer to each other in the future." Uncle Gu saw that Gu Yan and Gu Bin were ignoring each other, so he tried to smooth things over.
"Cousin." Gu Yan called out.
Gu Bin nodded reservedly: "Well, I heard from my father that you bought a farm, so I came to take a look."
Seeing his contemptuous look, Gu Yan didn't want to pay any attention to him. He turned around and spoke to Gu Xiaogu.
"Aunt, how did you meet your second uncle?" Gu Yan asked.
Gu Xiaogu really didn't know how to answer this question. Was he going to say that the reason Second Uncle Gu came was because she had reported the news to the town?
Of course, Aunt Gu couldn't tell the truth: "I went to town for something, and I happened to meet your uncle and the others, so we came here together.
"Oh, that's quite a coincidence." Gu Yan said and stood there without saying anything.
There really wasn't much to say. Second Uncle Gu didn't even attend his wedding, and Gu Bin had only seen him a few times since he was a child.
Gu Yan just thought it was ridiculous that they came here and talked about being a family.
Second Uncle Gu also knew that he hadn't been very kind to Gu Yan in the past, and they even had a conflict over the secret recipe. So it was normal for him to be cold to him.
However, thinking about what he was planning, Uncle Gu still approached with a shy smile.
