Chapter 116 117. Asking for Silver
Gu Wenheng, "You don't think that big brother didn't say anything, do you? Didn't you leave with Miss Lan? Why do you think of coming back to see your parents now?"
Gu Yuanlei: "..." If household registration was not required to prove one's identity, who would be willing to come back?
Gu Dashi came out with his hands behind his back at this time, "Your little brother is much more filial than you guys. He is here to take us to live a good life. You built this house, and we don't need it anymore."
Such a loud tone really scared Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng.
"Mom, what's going on?" Gu Wenheng turned around and asked Li Cuicui.
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Mom is not going anywhere. Life has finally settled down. I don't want to mess around with them."
Gu Yuanlei, "Mom, why are you making such a fuss? Besides, our Seventh Brother doesn't need this yard, so we might as well sell it for some silver, which will be considered as a filial act for our Seventh Brother."
"Oh, you don't have the final say on this yard. As for the things you mentioned before, we have no way to deal with them. When your seventh brother got married, we only gave two taels of silver and two acres of thin land.
Anyway, your father and I have arranged it according to how many brothers you have, so it's up to you whether you want it or not."
When Gu Wenheng heard this, he made a guess and said that this kid's return was not good.
"By the way, youngest, how did you find this place?"
Gu Yuanlei, "I didn't have my household registration with me, so when the soldiers found me, they wanted to send me back. Fortunately, I asked around and found out that most of the people in Baini'ao stayed. I finally found out my family after much difficulty.
You guys are such a fool, there are so many people but you didn’t even leave me a message.”
Gu Wenheng didn't want to listen to these complaints. "Since you are back, go to the village chief to register, so that your family can have two more acres of land and a foundation."
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kick me out of this house? It seems like you are not qualified enough, right?"
Li Cuicui directly protected Gu Wenheng behind her and said, "How do you talk to your brother? Don't forget, this house was built by your seventh brother. If you don't want to stay here, get out now."
"Mom, you are too biased. Besides, I don't have to stay in this remote place. Now you just need to help me arrange the wedding. I will definitely not appear in front of you and bother you in the future."
Gu Wenheng, "Are you going to get married?"
"Yes, Seventh Brother, this time my brother is going to turn things around. If you give me a hand, you can come to me if you have any problems in the future." Gu Yuanlei patted his chest with a smug look on his face.
Looking at his stupid look, Gu Wenheng turned around and asked Li Cuicui silently.
"What an injustice," Li Cuicui cursed, "It's all because of that Lan family. It seems that family bought a house in Daocheng. Now they say that your brother has ruined her daughter's reputation and you must marry her back.
He is required to pay at least 100 taels or a house as a betrothal gift. Where can we find that for him?"
"..." Gu Wenheng, "Is this your comeback? Is there something wrong with your brain? Others don't want to marry their daughter to you, so they deliberately raise their requirements."
"How is this possible?" Gu Yuanlei said confidently, "Yingying might even be pregnant with our Gu family's eldest grandson. How could she not marry me?"
Gu Wenheng: “…” There’s no hope.
Jin Qianqian: “…” How shameless.
Li Cuicui repeated the old saying, "Anyway, we don't have what you mentioned. You also know our family background. Even if I feel sorry for your brothers, giving you five taels of silver is the most I can do. But from now on, this family will have nothing to do with you. Just treat it as a separate family and live your own life."
Gu Dashi said, "You old woman, that's the capital city. If our son settles there, we can follow him and enjoy the good life in the future."
Li Cuicui, “The price is too high, and I, an old lady, don’t have that much blessing.
Since you and the Lan guy have come to that point, it's up to you to decide. If you're really determined, I'll shamelessly pool my money with your brothers and I should be able to come up with the five taels of silver."
Gu Yuanlei, "Not every household gets ten taels of silver for settling in, mother, this number is wrong."
Li Cuicui, "Your father and I don't have to live anymore. There are so many things in the house, will they come to the house by themselves?
If you agree, take the money and leave immediately. Don't brag in this village all day long. Your father and I can't afford to be embarrassed."
Gu Yuanlei spread his hands and said, "Then I can't agree to it. Give me 100 taels of silver. You don't want to lose your daughter-in-law and grandchildren, do you?"
Li Cuicui, "It's gone, it's gone. We couldn't have gotten close to her anyway. If you listen to mom, we can find another one nearby. She's not as good at living as the Lan one."
"That won't work. I've already promised Yingying that I would bring the money back to marry her. Don't mother and brothers want to help me?"
Gu Yuanlei said this, and suddenly looked at Jin Qianqian, "Sister-in-law Qi, since you can afford to build two houses, I believe you can help me through this difficult time, right?
Don't worry, as long as our little home is built, I will be able to repay you in the future."
Jin Qianqian sneered in her heart, what he said was quite skillful, and he was quite capable of getting something for nothing.
Gu Wenheng, "Don't ask your Seventh Sister-in-law about this. I can tell you here that it's impossible."
"Are you still my brother? My sister-in-law hasn't spoken yet."
"Why?" Gu Wenheng crossed his arms and looked at him, "Not to mention that we have already separated, you dare to covet your sister-in-law's dowry. Then, when your wife gets married in the future, can we also go to her to ask for it?"
"Why?" Gu Yuanlei pursed his lips and looked at Gu Dashi for help.
Gu Dashi: "Seventh Brother..."
"You two must have worked hard on the journey back. Go back and rest first and don't worry about other things." Li Cuicui didn't give him a chance to speak and pushed Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian.
He did not forget to turn around and glare at the father and son, "Get out of here."
"Don't worry about their affairs. If you can't make any trouble, they will just give up."
Looking at the tightly closed door, Gu Wenheng gave a wry smile. It turned out that there are problems with brain circuits everywhere. It just depends on whether you are lucky enough to encounter them.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that I still favor you," Gu Yuanshui stood on the side of the road, with Gu Yuanhuo also standing next to him.
Gu Wenheng greeted Jin Qianqian and said, "Mom and Dad are in there, aren't you going in?"
Gu Yuanshui, "We dare not enter this door. The youngest one has been annoying us every day these days, and he almost wants us to sell everything we have to support him to live a good life."
Gu Yuanhuo also looked at Gu Wenheng with ill intentions, "Did Dad ask you for help? You are a filial son. You have helped your parents build this house. It seems that you don't mind helping the youngest one."
Gu Wenheng: "..." So, are you here to watch the fun?
