The group arrived in Kuncheng on the night of the fifteenth, and they had been away for half a month. Their families were very worried. Most importantly, their uncle, Uncle Gu, was the only one with them.
In the Gu family's mind, there's no need to worry about Uncle Gu going out alone. He's a grown man, what are you worried about?
However, when he takes the children out, the Gu family will wonder if the children will be taken by Uncle Gu to do something outrageous.
When the children returned safely after being away with Uncle Gu for half a month, the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang secretly dragged Uncle Gu back to his room.
Uncle Gu: "...Wife, I'm exhausted! I still have to process the fruit later; we need to sell it tomorrow!"
Zhang patted him lightly, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Honey, this month, my period... my period hasn't come yet!"
Uncle Gu shuddered, then grabbed Zhang's fat face with both hands, yelling, "Demons and monsters, come out now! Don't bother my wife! I don't like any kind of spirits or monsters, don't try to suck my yang energy!"
Zhang: "!?"
Uncle Gu began reciting the few Buddhist scriptures he knew.
He felt that Zhang was possessed by a demon; otherwise, she wouldn't be so affected and coquettish. It was definitely the work of a witch.
Zhang pushed him away forcefully: "Gu Shouren, are you out of your mind! You're the monster!"
Uncle Gu was relieved: "That's right! You scared me to death, wife! The way you were talking just now, I thought you were possessed by some kind of demon! A glamorous and delicate look doesn't suit you. A loud voice suits you better."
Zhang: "..."
Uncle Gu then remembered what Zhang had just said: "What did you say? That one didn't come? Does that mean he's never coming again? That shouldn't be the case. You're not even forty yet, how can you not come? I used to hear the women in the village gossiping that it's normal for women over forty not to come. This isn't normal for you. Should we go see Aunt Xiao?"
"Don't get sick! I'm working hard to earn money. If you die, I'm telling you, I will definitely remarry, and then a wicked woman will sleep with your husband, beat your children, and use the money your husband earns. So, wife, cheer up!"
Zhang was on the verge of tears: "Father, I want to say, am I pregnant?! What do you mean I'm sick? You're the one who's sick! Let me tell you, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime. Just using the money my husband earns is impossible, let alone sleeping with my husband and beating my child!"
Uncle Gu was stunned: "You're pregnant? No way! Huihui is about to get married, and you're only pregnant now? Won't people laugh at you?"
Then, without further ado, he immediately took Zhang to see Grandma Xiao.
The Gu family was used to the couple's unpredictable nature. When the two of them dragged each other out the door, saying they would be back in a little while, the family didn't ask any further questions.
Uncle Gu didn't give Zhang a chance to speak. He didn't want any more children. Four was enough. Didn't his parents have four children?
Grandpa and Grandma Gu ignored the eldest son and his wife and asked Gu Xin and the others about their lives outside.
When they heard that another salt lake had been discovered, the two elders were very surprised. How long had it been? Another one had been discovered?
That's so fast!
If we find a few more salt lakes, wouldn't salt in the Great Zhou Dynasty be worth several coins per pound?
Of course, this is a good thing, a good thing that benefits the country and its people.
Grandpa Gu went to write another letter to the Empress Dowager. As for the Emperor, he knew that Huo Junhao was reporting to Gu Shouxin, and Gu Shouxin would tell the Emperor.
Moreover, the children said that Xue Qianyu had already sent someone to report to the emperor.
