After returning to the village, Gu Xin didn't go home. Instead, she and Gu Si held hands and ran to find their grandparents.
"Xinxin and Sisi are back! It must be hot outside! Here, Grandpa made some plum juice for lunch. It was just scooped out of the well, it's so refreshing!" Grandpa Gu was cooking in the kitchen when he saw the two sisters and ladled a bowl for each of them.
Then he ladled a bowl for his two eldest granddaughters and his second son and his wife.
"Grandpa, I have good news for you!" Gu Sixian finished his drink, held the bowl, and looked at Grandpa Gu with a smile.
"What good news?" Grandpa Gu asked with a smile. His youngest granddaughter used to be quiet, but since she started working with her sisters to earn money, she has become more lively, which makes him feel good.
“Grandpa, guess!” Gu Xin said eagerly.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, guess! It's not because of the good news that we bought the estate!" Gu Si said, glancing around to make sure she didn't see her mother before letting out a sigh of relief.
The whole family, including Yang Xiaohuan who was not yet married into the family, knew about the sisters buying the estate, but they kept it from Zhang Shi for fear that Zhang Shi would make a fuss again.
"If it's not that, then does your third aunt have some good news?" Grandpa Gu tapped his head and asked.
The two sisters gaped in astonishment.
You could have guessed that.
"What's wrong with your third aunt?" Grandma Gu asked as she walked into the kitchen from Houyanggou.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you're going to have another grandson!" the sisters exclaimed in unison.
When talking to Grandma, you should speak honestly, not in a guessing game.
"Really!" Grandpa Gu was overjoyed.
He thought that his daughter was not very stable, and guessed that it might be because he had a mischievous son. He had long hoped that his daughter could have two more children.
People nowadays believe that having many children brings many blessings.
Grandma Gu left the kitchen to ask Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian.
“It’s true. My third uncle kept saying it was a younger sister and wouldn’t let Xinxin say it was a younger brother! But Xinxin insisted on saying it was a younger brother!” Gu Sile said.
"Your third uncle has been wanting a daughter for a long time, looking at you sisters!" Grandpa Gu knows his son-in-law better than even his mother-in-law.
"But I really think he's my younger brother!" Gu Xin said seriously.
"Why do you think that?" Grandpa Gu asked curiously.
“Grandpa, you don’t know, the doctor told Third Aunt to take good care of herself during her pregnancy because Third Aunt’s mother and sister pushed her, and that’s when she had to call the doctor and find out she was pregnant. I thought Third Aunt needs to have many younger brothers so they can protect her!” Gu Xin said.
As Gu Nian walked into the kitchen, she wanted to cover her younger sister's mouth. "Little Xin Xin, do you know your mouth is blessed? You said that your third aunt is going to have a lot of brothers, so we really will have a lot of brothers in the future!"
"Niannian, what's going on with your third aunt? Come over and tell Grandpa." Grandpa Gu was not happy at all. The doctor said that she should take good care of herself during the pregnancy. His daughter has always been very healthy.
Gu Nian then came over and recounted what had happened.
Grandpa Gu frowned, put his hands behind his back, and went to find Grandma Gu. He had lost all interest in cooking.
We ate dinner at the old house that evening. During the meal, after Grandma Gu calmly finished a bowl of rice, she said, "You three brothers, please rearrange your plans for tomorrow and come with me to the prefectural city."
Uncle Gu: "Mother, do you know that A-Yuan is back, and you feel sorry for me and want me to be lazy?"
Grandma Gu glared at him.
Uncle Gu obediently shut up.
Grandpa Gu told me about Aunt Gu's situation.
Uncle Gu put down his chopsticks and said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with the third sister? Doesn't she always brag about how great she is? I'm so angry! It's one thing for her to fall down, but what about my little niece? No, no, I have to go and have a good talk with the third sister. It's shameful that she got bullied by an old lady and a little girl!"
The Gu family: "..."
