The family was unable to divide the property due to opposition from the descendants.
However, the conversation turned to the family's upcoming arrangements.
Uncle Gu was still in charge of the fields, and Fourth Uncle Gu continued to do his carpentry work.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian planned to stay in Fucheng for a month. Since the construction of Liansheng Street was in its early stages, Cai Xiaolian wanted to stay and keep an eye on things, so the furniture store would be entirely handled by Yang Xiaohuan.
Since the investigation into Gu Ren's case revealed that the Jiang family's area was a haven for human traffickers, Cai Xiaolian and Yang Xiaohuan's furniture store has become famous in the prefecture.
The orders we received were booked until next year. Of course, most of the orders were for people building new houses or giving dowries for their daughters' weddings.
For most small items or individual items, it's still best to buy them in stores.
They started with only Master Yang's apprentices and their descendants, but now many carpenters are volunteering to come to them, and the benefits they offer are quite good.
Master Yang bought the land in his backyard and set up a workshop there, covering an area of five acres, so the goods could keep up with demand.
As for Zhang, she continued to take care of the child and do housework, since Renren was still young.
Enzi was going to study, and the four sisters did not plan to live in the prefectural city. They only planned to go and see the shop opening, stay for two days, and then come back. They trusted Madam Meng and Madam Meng very much.
And so, the family made all their arrangements for the year before the new year.
After having dinner at the old house, they planned to go home, but Gu Ren clung to Gu Nian and insisted on going to the second house with her.
Although she was holding Gu Nian, Gu Xin said with lingering fear, "Father, Mother, and Sister, I'm going back now. I'm tired and want to sleep!"
She ran away as soon as she finished speaking, afraid that Gu Ren would go and sleep with her. She never wanted to be covered in Gu Ren's clothes again.
So, that evening, Gu Ren had a relaxed conversation with the three time-traveling friends in Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin's room.
"You can speak now?" Gu Nian asked in surprise, just a moment ago she was only saying two words at a time.
"Gu Nian, I've put up with you for so long!" Gu Ren glared at Gu Nian with his puffed-up cheeks.
"Hahaha, Gu Erdan, you've really got a way with words! But don't get too cocky, I used to be your aunt, and now I'm still your older sister! In short, I'm older than you!" Gu Nian pinched Gu Ren's cheeks with both hands.
"Don't call me Gu Erdan!" Gu Ren slapped Gu Nian's hand away.
"Then you'll be called Gu Erdan! What? You're insisting on coming over tonight, and you can talk again? Do you have something to say? Are you here to repent for the melodramatic plot you wrote?" Gu Nian bit down, pulling Gu Ren's face even longer to the left and right.
"Second Pig, Second Doctor, you two, do something about her!" Gu Ren resisted with both his hands and feet.
"Alright, Niannian, stop teasing him. He can't even speak clearly!" Cai Xiaolian looked at the siblings with amusement.
"I'll let you go for my mother's sake!" Gu Nian released Gu Ren, stepped back onto the bench, and sat down.
Gu Ren sat alone on the bed, while the three adults each sat on a stool by the bed.
Gu Ren rubbed his face vigorously, feeling it become round, before giving Cai Xiaolian a fawning smile: "Second Aunt, you are beautiful inside and out!"
Cai Xiaolian: "...Hahahaha..."
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow. This kid knew how to talk: "Speak, what do you want to say? Have you discovered something's wrong with your grandparents? Or is it that your own assumptions about them are not simple?"
Gu Ren's eyes widened in surprise, then he raised both thumbs up. In his excitement, he lost his balance and fell backward.
The time-traveling trio: "..."
Gu Ren got up on his own, took a step back, and leaned against the wall before saying, "As expected of Second Uncle, you could tell this from the old man and woman talking about dividing the family property!"
