Chapter 69 Figured it out
"Gu Yan, my husband, let's live a good life from now on and ignore them. Look, I brought the wine back.
We won’t go there unless it’s necessary in the future. Are you still afraid that we will go and take advantage of you?
Tsk, if I wasn't afraid of trouble, I would have told him that we have 200 acres of land, and we can live well even if we do nothing." Li Wanqing saw that Gu Yan was unhappy and comforted him.
"I'm not angry, I'm used to it, you're right, we won't come here unless there's something wrong.
As long as we live well, I don't care about other irrelevant people." Gu Yan said.
Gu Yan also thought it over. Maybe he just wasn't destined to be with his parents. So let it be. He would stay away from them in the future. He was not alone now.
He already has Li Wanqing, and they will have children in the future.
"Have you really thought it through? Are you not sad anymore?" Li Wanqing asked carefully.
"Well, I'm not sad anymore." Gu Yan said affirmatively.
Are you sad? Actually, I am a little sad.
Although I have long known that my parents are partial to me, I have also accepted that I am not valued by them.
But he still had his parents in his heart and secretly hoped that they would see that he was doing well.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought wine for Gu Chongshan, and he wouldn't have brought things there as soon as he came back.
But it’s better this way, he won’t have to look forward to it anymore.
"Let's go home. When we have nothing to do next time, we can go out to dig medicinal herbs. Although we can't earn much, it's enough for us to spend." In order to stop him from having wild thoughts, Li Wanqing wanted to take him to work.
"Third brother, third brother, wait for me." Gu Chuan caught up.
Hearing Gu Chuan's voice, the two stopped and looked back.
"Why are you following me?" Gu Yan asked with a frown.
"Third brother, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my father." Gu Chuan came closer and said carefully while looking at Gu Yan's face.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then said; It's not your fault, no need to apologize, you haven't said it yet? Why are you following me? "
"I~After you left, I had a fight with my dad, so I came out to find you." Gu Chuan didn't feel it when he ran out, but now he feels a little embarrassed when facing Gu Yan.
Fortunately, Gu Yan didn't say anything, but just said: "Let's go, have lunch at home, and let your third sister-in-law make you something delicious."
Gu Chuan then looked at Li Wanqing: "Third sister-in-law, thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble. Let's go. We just brought back some meat. What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you." Li Wanqing knew that Gu Chuan cared about Gu Yan, so she had a good impression of Gu Chuan.
"Everything my third sister-in-law cooks is delicious. I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever she cooks," said Gu Chuan.
Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan again.
"Wife, let's eat dumplings. Eat dumplings with leek and pork filling.
Mix some cucumber and pork head, fry some peanuts, and have a couple of drinks with my fourth brother." Gu Yan said.
Li Wanqing knew that Gu Yan was feeling bad, so she didn't stop him when she knew he wanted to drink.
"Okay, I'll cook two side dishes for you and you can have a couple of drinks." Li Wanqing said.
After returning home, Li Wanqing went to knead the dough. Gu Yan was not idle either. He directed Gu Chuan to chop the meat, while he went to wash and cut the vegetables.
"Wife, the stuffing is ready." Gu Yan put the vegetables and meat into a bowl.
"Okay, I'll go right away. You cut up the pork head. I remember there's also a pig ear and a piece of liver. You can cut them all up as well.
I remember I bought some tofu skin. I'll mix it up and boil a few salted eggs later." Li Wanqing pondered for a moment and quickly thought of a few side dishes.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Gu Yan did whatever his wife told him to do.
Gu Chuan watched his third brother and his wife talking and laughing, discussing things. He suddenly felt that getting married was not a bad idea.
Thinking of the girl from the Zhao family who was engaged to him, Gu Chuan suddenly felt excited.
He also wanted to be like his third brother and live his own life after getting married.
As for his parents being partial to each other, let them do as they please. He has hands and feet, and although he is not as good at hunting as his third brother, he believes that as long as he works hard, he can live a good life.
Gu Chuan was thinking about the good days after he got married.
Why is Gu Yan helping Li Wanqing roll out the dough and make dumplings?
Gu Xiang came at this time.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, these are the vegetables that mother asked me to bring you." Gu Xiang picked a lot of vegetables and brought them over.
"Is that Gu Xiang? Come in quickly. I made some dumplings and we'll eat here later." Li Wanqing had a good impression of her sister-in-law Gu Xiang and was willing to get along with her.
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, what are dumplings? I'll help you make them." Gu Xiang also wanted to get close to her sister-in-law Li Wanqing.
"Dumplings are a kind of wheaten food, similar to pies, and they are delicious. Today I made dumplings with leeks and pork filling. You should eat more at noon." Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law." Gu Xiang quickly washed her hands and came over to help.
With Gu Xiang's help, Li Wanqing no longer needs Gu Yan to roll the dough: "Gu Yan, you go drink with Gu Chuan first, Gu Xiang and I will be here."
Gu Yan saw that there was not much dumpling dough left, and Gu Xiang was there to help.
"Okay, I'll boil some water first and put some firewood under the stove. When the water boils, we can cook the dumplings." Gu Yan said.
"Okay, go ahead." Li Wanqing said.
When Gu Chuan heard that his third brother was going to boil water, he immediately volunteered: "Third brother, I'll go."
Gu Yan didn't treat him as an outsider. He let him go if he wanted to. "Okay, go ahead. Just add three scoops of water to the pot and it will be enough."
Gu Chuan was sent to boil water, while Gu Yan brought all the prepared side dishes to the table.
Li Wanqing ignored the two brothers. She was now trying to get some information from Gu Xiang.
"I heard that your second brother opened a grocery store? Is business good?" Li Wanqing asked casually.
"It's okay, I don't know the details, but my second brother hasn't been back since we opened the shop.
But I just heard from my fourth brother today that my second brother's mother-in-law often goes to the shop to get things." Gu Xiang thought for a moment and said.
"It's normal that you don't have time to come back because you're busy at the shop, but is that shop owned or rented? How much is the rent?
I'm thinking that when we have enough money, your third brother and I will open a shop." Li Wanqing continued to ask.
"The shop is rented. I heard from my mother that the annual rent is fifty taels of silver.
Just for the rent, Dad even went to his uncle in town and borrowed some money from him. That's how he was able to raise enough money for the rent." Gu Xiang recalled that during those days, her parents worried so much about the rent that their hair turned a few gray.
"Is the rent so expensive in this town?"
"Well, the place my second brother rented is right in front of the vegetable market. It's in a good location, so of course the price is high."
Li Wanqing nodded: "Dad and Mom gave your second brother money to open a shop. Did your eldest brother say anything?"
