Chapter 193 Returning Home 2
"That's because you and Third Brother don't have a good relationship, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
From now on, you must get along well with your third brother and try to get closer to him.
I just don't believe that Third Brother is so heartless that he doesn't care about you, his sister, at all." Guo Erlang said.
Gu Xiang did not refute this. Gu Yan was very nice to her in the beginning.
The situation now is like this because she didn't do her job well.
Even though they often complain that the third brother doesn't recognize their family affection and treats them badly, they all know in their hearts that it is because they treated the third brother badly in the past that the third brother is not close to them now.
It’s just that over the years they’ve gotten used to Gu Yan not living as well as they do.
Now that Gu Yan is living better than them, they feel uncomfortable and always want to take advantage of him.
"My third brother is not someone you can fool easily. My fourth brother has been trying to smooth things over with my third brother for the past few years, but it hasn't been very successful.
I think my third brother just wants to live his own life and doesn't want to bother with us brothers and sisters at all." Gu Xiang was afraid that Guo Erlang would be disappointed in the future, so she gave him a shot of prevention first.
"What am I kidding about? As a sister, shouldn't you have a good relationship with your brother?
Besides, I just want to rent his shop to open a store.
Whether he rents his shop to others or to me, it is also rented.
I am still his brother-in-law, so what's wrong with him doing me a favor?
"If you ask me, you're just stupid. You didn't flatter someone as promising as your third brother, but you offended him." Guo Erlang said nonchalantly.
"I've already told you that my third brother doesn't want to have anything to do with us. You still want to rent his shop? It's impossible." Gu Xiang is not stupid. She certainly knows that Guo Erlang didn't marry her for simple reasons.
It is very likely that she came for her third brother, but she wanted to marry out of the mountains, so even though she knew that her third brother would not care about her, she still agreed to the marriage with the Guo family.
"How is it impossible? He rents it to others, so why can't he rent it to me?
You should talk to him nicely tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, just beg him. You are his biological sister, so what's wrong with giving you a shop?" Guo Erlang had never thought of paying rent. He said it was just a nice way of saying it.
He had thought it all out. He would first talk about renting the shop, and then get the shop. Once he got the shop, it would be up to him to decide whether to pay the rent or not.
Even if Gu Yan was calculating, he could still send himself to the authorities since he was his brother-in-law.
By that time, Gu Xiang might have given birth to a child, and Gu Yan would be afraid to do anything to him for the sake of his sister and nephew.
Guo Erlang had a good idea, but he forgot that all his fantasies had a prerequisite, which was that Gu Yan and Gu Xiang had a good relationship.
Gu Yan cares about his younger sister. If he didn't care about Gu Xiang at all, he would never have given the shop to them in the first place, let alone taking it for himself in the future.
"Anyway, I don't think my third brother would agree. But like you said, there's no harm in giving it a try." Although Gu Xiang felt that Gu Yan would definitely not agree, she still held onto hope. What if? What if her third brother agreed?
"When you get there, be a little sweet-talker. If that doesn't work, just cry poor. Do you hear me? Talk to your third brother nicely. You are his biological sister, and he will always be soft-hearted towards you." Guo Erlang instructed again.
"Husband, I actually don't think Third Brother will agree. Let's just forget it." Gu Xiang thought about it again and still didn't want to ask Gu Yan.
"My dear, I know this has wronged you.
Just think of it as my own business. I have no ability and I don’t have a good job making a living now.
My wife, I do this so that you can live a good life.
Didn't you say your third brother has maids and servants at home? When I make money, I will definitely buy you two maids to serve you.
And there are children. We are married now and will have children soon. Don’t you want your children to go to school like your nephew in the future?
When I make money, we'll go to the county town and buy a house, send our son to school, and buy you two maids to serve you." Guo Erlang whispered in her ear.
Gu Xiang was also moved when she imagined the day when she would have everything she wanted and someone would pour water for her.
"Okay then, let's go to my third brother's house when we get home." Gu Xiang said after a moment of hesitation.
"That's right. Talk to your third brother about it tomorrow. I believe he will agree." Guo Erlang said.
"Okay, got it." Gu Xiang agreed. She was also thinking about what to say tomorrow so that Gu Yan would agree.
Thinking of the scene Erlang described to her yesterday after they earned money, Gu Xiang instantly gained confidence.
"Third sister-in-law, these are the snacks I bought for Xuanxuan and Hengheng. They are new products from Xiangmanlou in town. Erlang got up early in the morning to buy them." Gu Xiang handed over the snacks in her hand attentively.
"I'm sorry for the expense to my sister-in-law. Xuanxuan and the others are still young and can't eat all this. You should take it back to my parents.
Also, sister-in-law, today is the day you return home. What will your parents do if you come here?
Won't they be worried if you don't go back?" Li Wanqing knew that when giving gifts, one must ask for something in return, so she didn't really want to accept Gu Xiang's snacks.
"I wanted to go back, but my husband said that I have to go back the same day and not stay overnight at my parents' house.
If we went back, we would definitely not be able to come back today, so we didn't go back.
My parents should know about this and won't care," Gu Xiang explained.
Gu Xiang naturally assumed that Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua knew and would not wait for them.
The fact is that Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua got up early in the morning and prepared a large table of dishes.
He also called over Gu Nian's family and Gu Chuan's family of three.
He prepared to entertain the new son-in-law well, but until the afternoon, he still didn't see Gu Xiang and Guo Erlang come back. Gu Chongshan was so angry that he almost overturned the table.
Of course, Gu Xiang doesn’t know this yet, and still thinks it’s no big deal if she doesn’t go back.
Li Wanqing had no objection to Gu Xiang's explanation. Gu Xiang was not her daughter, so she didn't care whether she returned home or not.
But now that everyone is here, she can't kick them out.
"Juzi, pour tea for the guests." Li Wanqing instructed the maid.
"Sister-in-law, uncle-in-law, please sit down and have some tea. Your third brother has gone out. I asked someone to look for him. He will be back soon." Li Wanqing said politely.
"Don't be polite, sister-in-law. We are all family. Let brother take care of anything he needs." Guo Erlang said.
"That won't do. My son-in-law is a distinguished guest, so of course he has to come back to entertain the guests," said Li Wanqing.
"Third sister-in-law is just too polite. Why don't you see my eldest nephew? I even bought him a gift." Guo Erlang looked around and didn't see Xuanxuan.
"Oh, today is not a day off, he went to school." Li Wanqing explained.
"To be honest, it's my third brother and his wife who are really capable. Not only do they live in such a big house, they also have a shop and can send their children to school." Guo Erlang said with envy.
