On the way, they met Gu Shouxin, who had come to pick them up.
I'm going to Aunt Gu's for dinner tonight; we agreed on it yesterday.
Because Gu Sangu was pushed by Guo Wan and her daughter, which caused her to have a miscarriage, she needed to rest. Therefore, Gu Sangu was to move to the Guo family mansion.
The Gu family had never been to the Guo family's mansion because Mr. and Mrs. Guo were stingy and unwilling to hire too many people to run the rice shop. The whole family lived together in the backyard, which was quite cramped!
This time, when Gu Sangu wanted to stay in the mansion, Qin Shi refused to go with her. She insisted on staying at the rice shop to watch over the business. Moreover, she wouldn't let Guo Wan and Guo Yan stay there either, fearing that Gu Sangu would take this opportunity to discipline the two children.
She hated Gu Sangu to the core, but now that Gu Sangu was pregnant, her words, which used to have some effect on her son, were completely ineffective.
So when the Gu family arrived, only Gu Sangu's family of three, a gatekeeper, a kitchen maid, and a young maid were in the Guo residence.
Gu Xin whispered to Cai Xiaolian, "Mom, I think Third Aunt and Third Uncle are wasting the yard! Such a big yard should be decorated nicely by someone so that people can live there happily! Look at them, the flowers and grass in the yard don't grow at all!"
Cai Xiaolian poked Gu Xin's head: "You little worryer! Worrying about your own family isn't enough, you have to worry about your grandparents' place, and now you're starting to worry about your aunt's family! After you and your sisters get married, will you have to worry about a few more households?"
Gu Xin chuckled and said, "Mom, I'm not worried, I'm concerned. Mom, let me tell you, children all like pretty flowers. When Third Aunt's child is born, he'll be unhappy if he sees that these flowers aren't blooming well."
Gu Nian asked in confusion, "Who told you that children all like pretty flowers?"
Gu Xin: "Uncle! Uncle said that Renren often climbs up to the flowers that Grandpa planted and stares at them with a silly grin!"
Gu Nian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Which flower is he staring at?"
Gu Xin glanced guiltily at Gu Hui and Gu Si, and said, "It's those orchids we dug up for Grandpa, the kind that blooms really well!"
Gu Nian slapped her forehead. Oh, her stupid nephew had noticed something was wrong!
No wonder they disappeared before, but were found in the woodpile in front of their second wife's old house, and there were even marks on the door that looked like they needed a trick.
So that brat had already figured it out!
Gu Xin looked at Gu Nian with a puzzled expression: "Sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with those potted plants?"
Gu Nian shook her head: "No problem, I just think, why would a boy like flowers!"
Gu Nian was somewhat worried. On one side was her nephew whom she had watched grow up, and on the other side was her younger sister. Now, neither of them was easy to fool.
After Gu Ren spoke, given Gu Xin's elusive ability to overhear her family members' conversations, she felt that their time travel would be discovered sooner or later.
Should I tell Xin Xin the truth, or come up with a plausible excuse to avoid hurting her too much?
For the first time, Gu Nian felt she had a problem; this was even more troublesome than having too many bad romantic prospects!
If you're being harassed by unwanted suitors, just cut them off.
But Xin Xin is the younger sister!
Guo Rui, who had welcomed them into the house, was displeased upon hearing Gu Nian's words: "Second cousin, I also like the flowers that Grandpa planted, and I think they are very beautiful. It's not only girls who like flowers. Boys haven't done anything wrong, so why can't they like flowers? Flowers are so beautiful!"
