Chapter 112 113. Each Has His Own Thoughts
Gaoling Village
"Mom, Old Seven and the others have been gone for so many days. I hope nothing has happened to them." After finishing his work in the fields, Gu Yuanjin took a walk around the village entrance. Seeing that the house was still guarded by the same iron guard, he went to find Li Cuicui with an anxious look on his face.
"What could possibly happen to them?" Li Cuicui spread the freshly washed wild vegetables on the dustpan. "Old Seven has his own business. You don't need to worry about it."
"Mom, why are you worrying about this for nothing? Don't you know that there are already gossips in the village? If we don't plant the good land, what will they eat in the future?" Gu Yuanjin became anxious when he saw that Lao Qi and his friends only planted seeds in the fields and left them alone.
Li Cuicui put down the work in her hands and said, "They know what's going on, but you, don't be so honest about everything. Your wife has been lying there in a daze for so many days, what does she want to do?
Letian, the Le family just can’t find the way home for the time being, and we have left a message in the capital city. She can’t just leave all the family matters to you, right?
If you want to gossip, I've heard your family gossip these days, you and Ledi should stop pampering her all the time."
Gu Yuanjin, "Mom, I know, but the child's mother is worried about the two children. They always eat and sleep poorly. Their health is not good, so we dare not let them go out."
Li Cuicui shook her head and said, "I think she has had an easy life these years and is finding ways to be lazy.
Winter is coming soon, and we should prepare firewood at home. You should discuss with your brothers when to prepare firewood for me and your father. Don’t wait until it snows and I come knocking on your door.”
Gu Yuanjin said, "Mom, I have been thinking about this these days. When I finish the work in the field, I will go to the back mountain to cut some."
Although the trees that had been cut down in the village were dried and stored, it was still far from enough to face the severe cold winter.
After Gu Yuanjin left, Li Cuicui's eyes flashed with worry. The old couple had been in the city for so many days. They wouldn't have really encountered any difficulties, right?

"Brother, have you found out? Why hasn't the seventh brother come back yet?" Gu Yuanhuo happened to live not far from Gu Yuanjin, and when he saw people coming, he hurried over to block them.
"Mom doesn't know either. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Gu Yuanjin was about to walk around him with his hands behind his back, but was blocked again.
"Brother, what do you think Old Seven and the others are doing? How come they suddenly have such a huge fortune?"
Gu Yuanjin looked up at him and said, "Didn't I tell you that your seventh brother's wife's ancestors left something for you? You just kept it hidden and built the house without making any noise."
Thinking that his brothers' own house was the worst built, Gu Yuanjin would be lying if he said he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Now seeing that the third brother wanted to use him as a gun again, Gu Yuan could only take a deep breath and hold it in.
Gu Yuanhuo rubbed his palms and said, "This is all saved bit by bit by the Li family's diligence and thriftiness.
But we only built two tiled houses, nothing like Lao Qi’s six-tile house, which is the only one in the village.”
Speaking of this, Gu Yuanhuo felt even more aggrieved.
How did the seventh brother, who used to live a much worse life than me, suddenly jump to the front?
"You should be content. Your sister-in-law and I just gritted our teeth and shared a room. It's nothing. I have to go back." Gu Yuanjin didn't want to listen to these sour words. He was still the eldest brother, and his situation was worse than theirs. Who could he go to for justice?
Adding to the thoughts of these guys, as the big brother, doesn't he have any idea what's going on?

Gu Wenheng had just completed the ceremony of becoming a disciple when he was told by the dean, who loved talented people, to stay.
He looked at Jin Qianqian with guilt, "Qianqian, can you go back alone?"
Jin Qianqian took the donkey's rope from him and said, "What's wrong with that? Don't forget, this stubborn donkey listens to me more. If it refuses to move, I will hang a carrot in front of it so that it can see it but cannot eat it.
Besides, it's not that far from here, you can go in without worrying about it. How long will this class last? Do you want me to pick you up later?"
Gu Wenheng was still a little worried about Jin Qianqian. Even though the two of them could drive the donkey cart with some difficulty, he felt uneasy about letting Jin Qianqian complete it alone.
"Wait for me a moment. I'll ask my husband for leave and send you back first."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and go in, but was stopped by Jin Qianqian, "If you're worried, I'll lead the donkey back. There won't be any problems, right?
Besides, we have all walked such a long distance, so how can a short distance of a few miles be difficult for me? "
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Wenheng to reply, she pulled the little donkey and said, "Let's go, follow sister back, there are big radishes."
Gu Wenheng, "..."

Jin Qianqian held the little donkey with one hand and looked at the pastoral scenery beside her with the other. The rice planted in autumn had begun to bloom.
Thinking of the vegetable seeds that had been sown with water at home, Jin Qianqian couldn't help feeling a little guilty. After being out for so many days, they shouldn't dry up and die with the nourishment of the spring, right?
Now that my senior has entered college, the date of my return will have to be postponed. It seems that I will have to ask someone else to take care of the land at home in the future.
She was thinking about the candidate silently in her mind and didn't notice that a half-grown child was following her from a distance.
"Madam Gu, you're back." As soon as she turned the corner, she ran into her new neighbor, Aunt Xiao. "Didn't you go out with your husband?"
Jin Qianqian didn't care about the other party's gossip, and said with a smile, "I just sent my husband to the academy, and he has to stay there to study with the teacher. I saw that it was still early, so I came back first."
Aunt Xiao was surprised. She thought he was just an ordinary citizen, but she didn't expect him to be a scholar. "Is your husband a scholar?"
"My husband has passed the examination and is ready to try again."
"Oh, so they are the future scholar and his wife. I never thought that I could be the neighbor of a scholar one day." Aunt Xiao's face was immediately full of smiles. "To be honest, we are going to send our little grandson to the academy as well."
Jin Qianqian nodded, "That's great. I've seen your child before. He looks chubby, but smart. He will definitely be successful in the future. You will be blessed in the future."
When Auntie Xiao heard her beloved grandson being praised, her eyes narrowed into a line, "Thank you for your good words. I just chopped a few cabbages. You can take two back and use them to stew meat. That would be perfect."
Jin Qianqian held up her hands and postponed, "That won't work. I bought a lot of food this morning. It would be a shame if we can't finish it."
Aunt Xiao put the cabbage back and asked, "You really don't want it?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "Now there are only my husband and I at home. If we can't finish the food, it will be wasted."
"Okay, if you want to eat it in the future, just go to Auntie's backyard and pick it. I have a lot of it planted."
