Chapter 156: If you have something to say, just say it
Wife, let’s go back tomorrow.
I'm thinking we still have to go to the capital, so we'd better transfer the ownership of our shop as soon as possible. What do you think?" Gu Yan sat opposite Li Wanqing and peeled bamboo shoots with her.
"You're right, the ownership must be transferred. Even though Uncle Liu wrote the receipt, it's not as reassuring as transferring the ownership."
Then let’s go to the provincial capital and sell the prey.
If there is a suitable courtyard, I would like to buy one. We will often go to the capital city in the future, so it is convenient to have our own courtyard." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan thought about it and realized that it was true. He had a premonition that they would go to the provincial capital sooner or later, so it would be better to buy a house as soon as possible.
The two of them worked quickly and soon finished peeling all the bamboo shoots.
"Let's go home. We have to go back tomorrow, so pack up everything today." Li Wanqing put all the peeled bamboo shoots into the space.
The two returned home, took a short rest and started packing. They had been away for half a year, so all their things had to be packed up.
First, sort the medicinal materials into different categories and pack them into sacks, then put them into the space. The dried bamboo shoots have not been dried yet, so they are still spread out in large bamboo strips and stored in the space.
I cooked a little more dinner and brought out the food for tomorrow morning.
This is done so that after dinner, when the dishes are rinsed, the pots and pans can be put away.
The cured chicken, rabbit and duck on the wall were all smoked. Gu Yan picked them off the wall and put them into a sack one by one. Li Wanqing went over and put them away directly.
"Wife, let's make dumpling soup tonight, tomato dumpling soup, and I'll add two eggs." After cleaning up the inside and outside, Gu Yan started to prepare dinner.
"Okay, go ahead and do it." Li Wanqing brought the child out of the space and changed his diaper.
The child is already three months old and is gradually asking for help. He stayed in the space for a whole day today and now he finally sees his mother. He keeps saying "ah ah oh oh".
Li Wanqing didn't mind and joined in the conversation.
Xuanxuan was obviously very happy after getting a response, and his little hands and feet kept moving.
"Are you so happy to see your mother? Xuanxuan, baby, look here." Li Wanqing took the rattle made by Gu Yan and shook it in another direction.
Xuanxuan's little head also turned to the other side.
"Xuanxuan, here, look here." Li Wanqing changed direction again.
Xuanxuan's little head turned away again.
The mother and daughter had a lot of fun.
"Wife, stop teasing him and come over to eat." Gu Yan put the table on the kang and brought two bowls of dumpling soup.
"Okay." Li Wanqing put down the rattle and came over to eat.
"Third brother, third brother." Before Li Wanqing picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Dahua's voice came from outside.
Li Wanqing and Gu Yan exchanged a glance, and both of them thought to themselves, "Well, we're not going to have a peaceful dinner today."
"Come in." Even though I didn't want to get entangled with them, I had no choice but to let them in since they were already at my doorstep.
"Oh, are you guys eating? It seems like we came at the wrong time?" As soon as Gu Bei came in, he saw the white noodle dumpling soup on the table and swallowed hard.
White noodle dumpling soup? How long has it been since he last had something made with pure white flour?
Li Wanqing ignored her and continued eating her bowl of dumpling soup.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Yan asked directly.
"Third brother, I am your mother. What's your attitude? You don't go back to see us, and we come to see you, and you treat us like this?" Zhang Dahua shouted dissatisfiedly.
"What have I done to you? Come to see me? Do you believe it yourself? Tell me, what's going on?" Gu Yan said sarcastically.
Gu Chongshan looked at Gu Yan and felt sad. Was the third brother completely hurt by them?
He didn't want this to happen. He also knew that their visit today, regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, would probably push the third brother further away.
But he had no choice. The eldest and second sons were also his sons, and he also wanted the best for them.
"Third brother, I know you blame us, and I admit that we did ignore you in the beginning.
But no matter how much you complain, we are still your parents, and Gu Nian and the others are still your brothers.
I don't ask you to be filial to us, I just hope you can give the eldest and second brothers a hand." Gu Chongshan knew that Gu Yan was impatient to play the emotional card with them, so he also directly stated the purpose of his visit.
Gu Yan laughed sarcastically: "I knew it. If you have something to say, it would be better to just say it directly. Why do you have to say that you came to see me?"
"I..." Zhang Dahua wanted to speak, but was glared back by Gu Chongshan.
"Your mother is not wrong. Although she did come to see you for something else, it's also true that she came to see you.
I heard you gave me a grandson, and as a grandfather, I haven't even seen him yet. So I came to take a look." Gu Chongshan was afraid that Zhang Dahua would say something unpleasant, so he spoke first.
"Oh? You're here to see your grandson? If so, what did you bring for him?
"If nothing else, grandparents have to prepare a small blanket for the child, right? If not, two diapers will do." Gu Yan said indifferently.
Now Gu Chongshan was embarrassed. They came empty-handed and really didn't think of bringing anything for the child.
But it’s not his fault. In the past, these things were prepared by Zhang Dahua and he never cared about them at all.
"Old woman, where are the things you prepared for the third child and the others?" Gu Chongshan remembered that Zhang Dahua would prepare something for every daughter-in-law before giving birth.
Small blanket, diaper ring, small clothes and so on.
"This...this..." Zhang Dahua felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Chongshan.
Knowing that Li Wanqing was pregnant, she did prepare a small blanket and a diaper.
However, when the second son's wife, Li Yingdi, saw it, she said that they didn't have enough blankets and diapers for Yaozu.
She didn't think too much about it and let Li Yingdi take it away.
Later, when Li Wanqing and the others came back, she pretended not to know about it.
I didn't expect that Gu Yan would reveal it today.
"What is this? Where is it?" Gu Chongshan asked with a stern face.
"The second brother's family took the things. It's because Yaozu pees too much and often wets the quilt. There are not enough diaper rings.
"I figured the third brother's family wouldn't need it anyway, so I gave it to the second brother's family," Zhang Dahua explained hesitantly.
"Tsk, so I don't have to give it to you just because my family doesn't need a grandmother like you? How come your four sons all have grandchildren, but my son doesn't?" Gu Yan retorted.
Gu Chongshan was almost pissed off to death by the stupid old woman Zhang Dahua.
No matter how partial you are in your heart, you must at least treat these things equally.
It also saves them from being criticized, just like now, when Gu Yan left them speechless.
I was also full of dissatisfaction with Li Yingdi. How could he be so greedy and take everything he saw home?
But there’s no point in thinking so much now. I still have to find a way to calm the third brother down.
