Chapter 118 119. Eavesdropping
Gu Kaishan simply put the fish aside, rolled up his trousers and went straight to the field to help pull up the weeds.
Liu Heizi followed suit and said, "Sister-in-law, we'll help you with the work in the fields. You should go back and have a rest."
Jin Qianqian didn’t know what they were selling, so she smiled, thanked them, packed up her things, and went straight home.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Gu Wenheng did not slow down his hands.
"You just came back today. Do you know what your brother did?"
Gu Wenheng: "..." Is it because life in the countryside is too easy that these people are so gossipy?
"Your parents definitely don't know yet. There are other things in here." Gu Kaishan said mysteriously, "It's only because we are not out of the fifth generation that I'm telling you this in secret."
Gu Wenheng looked at Gu Kaishan and said, "Don't you just want to use the money to marry a wife?"
"That's all nonsense," Gu Kaishan said with a disdainful curl of his lips. "I can tell you that I only learned this news yesterday.
I went into town early yesterday morning to sell fish in exchange for some oil and salt, but who knew I would run into your little brother acting sneaky? Thinking of the trouble he had caused these days, we became curious and followed him secretly.
Guess what?
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "..."
Gu Kaishan, "We met the kid from the Lan family, the Lan Yun who was beaten and driven out.
That kid is really a big deal now, he is dressed like a human being and is followed by servants.
Your youngest child is so servile and fawning in front of others. I can’t stand seeing him being so servile.”
Gu Wenheng, "Uncle, stop beating around the bush and get to the point."
"What's the hurry?" Gu Kaishan was talking in a trance, "We followed them secretly, guess what they said?"
Gu Wenheng, "."
"Gu Yuanlei called me brother affectionately, but the other party asked him how the household registration was going.
Gu Yuanlei actually said that his parents did not agree and they were trying to find a solution.
Lan Yun had a dark face at that time and scolded Gu Yuanlei, saying that the Gu family was too ungrateful. They had already given so much silver but still refused to release their household registration.
He also said that if Gu Yuanlei didn't want to marry into the family, at worst he could send his sister to the countryside to stay for a few days, and then she could say she was a widow and was returning to her parents' home.
At this point, Gu Kaishan looked at Gu Wenheng and said, "Do you understand now?"
Gu Wenheng: “…” He is not stupid.
He still nodded, "What happened next?"
"What happened later? It's just that Gu Yuanlei was groveling and saying nice things all the time." At this point, Gu Kaishan cleared his throat, "But your youngest son is really a piece of shit. He clearly wanted to marry into your family, but he came back to act like a big shot and wanted your parents to sell everything they had to give him a betrothal gift. Isn't he doing it the wrong way?"
"You didn't tell my parents?"
Gu Kaishan shook his head. "It's hard for us to say. You know we are not very clear about this. If someone asks us how we know it, will we tell them that we were eavesdropping?"
Besides, although they were a bit messy in the past, they would not betray their families. Gu Yuanlei's magical operation made them feel that they were good people in an instant.
"We tell you all this because we want you to be on guard. You are probably the fat meat in Gu Yuanlei's eyes. Since he can't persuade your parents to buy a house to raise money for him, he will probably set his sights on you. Do you want to stay away from him?" After going around in circles for so long, Gu Kaishan finally stated the purpose of this trip.
Liu Heizi, "What Kaishan said is true. I was there at the time. These days, Gu Yao always brags to everyone that he wants to live in the capital city in the future.
But what does this mean for him? Is it considered marrying her off or marrying her in? "
Gu Wenheng, "."
"Seventh Brother?" Gu Kaishan shouted with some worry, "Are you shocked by the news? You don't have to make a fuss. Anyway, you have many brothers, so one less will not make a difference. At most, you can just treat them as one daughter married off."
"...," Gu Wenheng, "I just didn't expect it."
"What's unexpected about this?" Gu Kaishan snorted coldly, "That kid is very bold, he wants to have his cake and eat it too.
I saw that he did nothing after returning to the village. He just kept an eye on the little compensation from his family every day. He went to each of his brothers' homes and heard that they were all counting and counting how much support others could give him.
We could understand it at first. After all, we are men, and sometimes we are a little naughty, so it is normal to do some stupid things.
But after what happened yesterday, I know that your youngest child is hopeless. You should just throw him out and stop him from causing harm to others!"
Gu Wenheng deeply agreed, and suddenly felt that marrying into a woman's family was a good way out for him.
Don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night.
While they were still clearing the weeds, Gu Yuanlei stood at the edge of the field like a ghost.
"Seventh Brother is really popular. You just got home and someone came to help you with farm work."
Gu Kaishan, "My nephew Yuan Lei, your uncle is so old and busy here, don't you even know to say hello? Or is your eyes only on the sky, and you look down on little people like us."
"Look at what Uncle Kaishan said. I was just expressing my admiration for my seventh brother's popularity and was just about to greet you."
"You are really ignorant. Although I am your uncle, I am not much older than you. How can I be considered older than you?"
Gu Yuanlei: "…" I hate seniority and the like, and they bring it up again.
Gu Wenheng, "Youngest, don't just stand there. Others can help your brother with his work. It won't look good if you just stand by and watch."
Gu Yuanlei patted the robe on his body and said, "Seventh brother, it's not that I don't want to help you. This robe of mine was made by your sister-in-law before I left. If it gets dirty, I won't be able to explain it when I go back.
Besides, this small piece of land is more than enough for the three of you."
Gu Wenheng went straight to the point, "Then why did you come here?"
"Dad has something to talk to you about, so I came over to call you, do you want to go over first? Don't keep Dad waiting for too long."
Gu Wenheng looked bewildered. "I just went home before, and I didn't hear what Dad said. You see, I can't just push the work to others. Let me finish this matter, and then go home."
Gu Yuanlei's expression changed, "You don't even listen to your father?"
Gu Kaishan, "Gu Laoyao, you didn't see what we were doing, did you? Not only did you not come down to help, but you also pointed fingers at your brother. Is this your attitude towards your brother?
What's more, I, the elder, am still here. Is it really okay for your brother to leave us here?"
"..." Gu Yuanlei, "Then you have to move faster. Oh, and my sister-in-law, Dad asked her to come with you, so don't forget her later."
After saying that, he wiped the mud off the soles of his feet with grass on the shore with disgust.
