Chapter 88 Gu Xiaogu Regrets
Uncle Gu went out angrily, and soon he heard the sound of a horse-drawn carriage.
"Gu Yan, Wanqing, look at what this has caused? I..." Uncle Gu had caused such a scene, and as the person who brought Uncle Gu here, Aunt Gu also felt embarrassed.
However, Gu Yan interrupted her before she could finish, "Aunt, you told Second Uncle that we came here today, right? I don't want to know what your purpose is, but it's better for us to have less contact in the future.
After all, I don’t want to step on us to curry favor with other people’s relatives.”
Gu Yan was not stupid. He knew it after a little thought. Second Uncle Gu was specially notified and brought here by Aunt Gu.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they came back today and Uncle Gu happened to come over today.
"Third brother, my aunt really didn't mean it. I just ran into your second uncle when I went to town and accidentally let it slip.
Your second uncle asked me to inform her if you come to the farm.
I didn't expect him to still not give up. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn't have intervened in this matter," explained Gu Xiaogu.
Gu Yan didn't know whether he believed it or not, and he didn't say anything more about it. He just stood up and said, "Little aunt, you should go back. It's time for us to leave too."
Gu Xiaogu had no choice but to follow him out awkwardly.
"Wanqing, I really didn't mean it. If you don't like it, I won't do it again next time." Seeing that Gu Yan's words were not making sense, Gu Xiaogu said to Li Wanqing again.
Li Wanqing didn't expect that Gu Xiaogu would explain to her, but she usually didn't care about the Gu family's affairs, so it was useless for Gu Xiaogu to explain to her.
"Aunt, you go back. We are leaving." Li Wanqing said with a smile, then turned around and locked the door.
They were not at home, and Li Wanqing didn't want anyone to enter their house casually.
Seeing that her nephew and niece-in-law didn't want to pay attention to her, Aunt Gu had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing also got on the carriage and set off again.
This time the two of them returned home safely, but after such a delay, it was almost dark when they got home.
"Wife, I'll light the stove first, you take a break.
Now that the weather is cooler, the stove needs to burn a little longer.
I'll go cook later. Can we still have dumpling soup today?" It's not that Gu Yan doesn't want to cook anything else, it's mainly because he can't cook anything else except dumpling soup.
"No need to rest, I'm not tired either. I'll cook. You didn't eat well at noon, so I'll make you something delicious in the evening." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan also knows his cooking skills. Now that his wife wants to cook delicious food, of course he is willing.
"Okay, wife, then I'll light the fire for you." Gu Yan said.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Li Wanqing said.
"I want to eat stir-fried large intestines and pork liver, too." Gu Yan thought for a while and said.
"Okay, since you want to eat all of them, I'll stir-fry three of them together, so you can eat large intestines, pig liver, and tripe.
In addition to the three dishes, I'm also stir-frying bamboo shoots and bacon. We'll steam some rice for dinner," said Li Wanqing.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
While the two of them were cooking, Gu Xiaogu and her family also sat together to eat.
"Mom, what does my second uncle want from my cousin? Why did my second uncle ask you to keep an eye on my third cousin and the others?" Dazhuang took a sip of the porridge.
"Well, your second uncle knows that your third cousin has bought a farm, so he wants to come over and get close to him.
By the way, I also told you about the secret recipe for braised pork. This time I want to partner with your third cousin and others.
But your third cousin didn't agree, and later he broke up with your second uncle.
"Your third cousin probably holds a grudge against me. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to let your second uncle report the news to him," said Aunt Gu in frustration.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't get involved in this matter. I've already told you that if you do this, you'll probably end up being a nobody.
How's that going now? Am I right? With your second brother's behavior, even if you help him, he won't be grateful.
And there’s Gu Lao San, he’s not a simple person either, and his wife is even more difficult to deal with.
Do you think you can be a maid in a wealthy family, and moreover, the head maid of the master, without some scheming and tricks?
I dare say that even if all the members of your Gu family were added together, they might not be as cunning as the third son's wife.
With your strength, you still want to plot against the third brother?
Now, the third brother is completely annoyed with you. From now on, our relationship, which was not close to begin with, will definitely become even more distant.
You always try not to offend anyone, but in the end you end up being unpopular with both sides," said Uncle Gu.
"You're just a hindsight guy. Why didn't you say all this earlier? Aren't you just thinking about taking advantage of my second brother?
If it weren't for this family, I wouldn't bother doing such thankless work." Gu Xiaogu retorted.
"What do you mean I'm taking advantage of your second uncle? When did I take advantage of your second brother? Isn't it just taking some leftovers?" Uncle Gu took a bite of the leftovers from Uncle Gu's restaurant that Aunt Gu brought back with disapproval.
"You complain about leftovers all day long, but I never see you eat less." Aunt Gu muttered softly.
Not every table of customers who go to a restaurant will eat clean, and there will always be some customers leaving a lot of leftovers.
The remaining ones that can be recycled will definitely be put back into the kitchen.
But there are still a lot of things that cannot be recycled, and even Uncle Gu and his family cannot finish them all.
So usually when Aunt Gu went to town, she would go to Uncle Gu's restaurant to pack up some leftovers.
"Mom, I also think that what you did today was wrong. No matter what purpose my second uncle has in looking for my third cousin, you shouldn't get involved." Er Zhuang also said.
"Oh, stop talking. I regret it so much now. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that it will cause your elder brother to lose his job." Gu Xiaogu said regretfully.
"No way? What does this have to do with Dazhuang?" Chunxia, who had nothing to do with the matter, asked immediately.
"Why is it okay? It was Dazhuang who told me when Gu Yan and the others returned to the farm today.
Otherwise, how would I know since I don't usually go out?" Gu Xiaogu explained.
Knowing that Da Zhuang was involved and that it might affect next year's work, Chunxia pinched Da Zhuang hard in anger.
"Come on, what does it have to do with you whether Gu Yan comes back or not? Why would you come back and make such a fuss?
"Is it okay now? You've offended someone. I wonder what you'll do if you lose such a good job?" Chunxia said angrily.
It’s no wonder Chunxia was angry. Dazhuang earned five taels of silver working on the farm this year.
Working on the farm is not only close to home, the salary is good, and most importantly, it is stable.
In the past, Dazhuang went to the town to do odd jobs. Sometimes he would wait there for a whole day and there might not be any work, and he still had to pay for food.
Dazhuang was an honest man and he didn't think too much about it. His mother told him to go home and tell her when he saw his third cousin and his family coming, so he did as she said.
I didn't know it was so serious.
