Chapter 201 202. Changing the Village
Xiuniang saw that Gu Lejia seemed like a different person. His eyes were no longer filled with only her, but were more like a look of scrutiny.
She was a little flustered. "It's just one or two years. Just help him for another year or two. He is my brother after all."
"What about me?" Gu Lejia pounded his chest a few times. "Should I give you everything I have? Have you ever thought that I am sick and you think I am not miserable enough? You have to delay it a little longer. Aren't you afraid that you will lose my life?"
"Didn't we agree on this?" Xiuniang looked around and found that many people were listening attentively to the news. She reached out and tugged at Gu Lejia's sleeve, "Look at all the diseases you have. Aren't you going to live in this courtyard?"
Thinking of this huge yard, even if her brother's family moved in, they would have enough space to live in in the future, Xiuniang's heart was filled with excitement.
"You see, your uncle and his family are leaving tomorrow. Did they tell you how much they'll leave for you to settle down?" Xiuniang paused again, "And how many people will they leave for you? Otherwise, we won't be able to take care of such a big yard."
Gu Lejia now felt anxious and panic on his face. He could even feel that the eavesdroppers in the yard who were listening with their ears perked up must be laughing at him.
"Didn't you understand what I just said? I said I was going to go back with you. What my seventh uncle said was right. My parents raised me up, and it's time for me to fulfill my filial duties.
You now have two choices, either leave with me, or I will have someone write a divorce letter for you, and we will live our own lives in peace from now on."
Xiuniang forced a smile, "Husband, you are teasing me, right?"
"You know whether what I said is true or not," Gu Lejia said seriously, "Now my seventh uncle and the others are still here, and you two siblings dare to plot like this. If I am the only one left at that time, I am afraid that my life will be in danger."
"How could this be? You are my husband, don't I wish you well?" Xiuniang didn't care that they were in the yard outside, and she grabbed Gu Lejia's arm with both hands, "Can you please not go back? Even if you want to go back, it will take a few years."
Gu Lejia shook off her hand and said, "You choose! Actually, although I was lying on the bed at that time, I heard everything you said to your brother.
Your brother just wants to use me to blackmail my seventh uncle, thinking that he can get more money by playing the victim.
Let me guess, if I wait until I get the money for curing illnesses and saving lives, then there is no need for me to live. After all, my uncle and the others will not be here by then, and whether I live or die is not up to you to decide. "
"How could that be? I can't let him do that. Besides, you're my husband. Do I want to be a widow again?"
"Isn't this exactly what you want? Each marriage will give you a betrothal gift of dozens of taels of silver. If I sell you a few more times, your brother won't have to work and will have a fortune." Thinking of the suffering he had endured in the past two days, Gu Lejia blurted out hurtful words.
"You..." Xiuniang's face was pale, as if she was thinking back to the days when she was a widow. Not only did she suffer from the ridicule of outsiders, she also had nightmares every night.
Gu Lejia felt a little reluctant, but quickly suppressed it. "If you want to go with me, come and wait for me early tomorrow morning. If you don't want to, I will leave a letter of divorce."
After saying this, he did not even look at Xiuniang, but turned and walked into the wing room where he was temporarily staying. Before entering the door, he did not forget to say to the servant standing in the yard, "Please help me see the guest off."
"Why is this happening?" When Xiuniang saw his final indifference, her heart felt desolate.
"Please come in, Madam Song!" Xiuniang was invited out of the gate and only came back to her senses when she saw the closed door.
She wanted to rush over and knock on the door again, with her hands raised high, but she didn't have the courage to knock.

After explaining everything clearly, Gu Wenheng returned to the mansion under the night light.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Wenheng knew exactly what had happened in the mansion today.
"What about the Le family?"
Butler Fu said, "Young Master Le has been staying in his room the whole time. He has used all the medicine and food that were sent in."
Gu Wenheng, "He knows that he will leave tomorrow!"
"I have told him, and judging from the look of the young master of the Le family, he does not object." Butler Fu combined what he said to Madam Song in the yard today, and thought in his heart that if he did not know how to make a choice now, then he would be hopeless.
Gu Wenheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could figure it out. "Okay, you guys should go to bed early too."
Jin Qianqian saw him come in and asked Sanqing to go downstairs and rest early. "Why are you so busy so late? Didn't you tell them all before?"
Gu Wenheng took the water she brought over and took two sips. "Our family has moved to another farm. This is the red deed. Keep it."
"It was fine, why did it suddenly change?" Jin Qianqian opened it and took a look, "Why is it so much bigger?"
Gu Wenheng, "It's a pity that I don't have time to take you to see it. This manor is more than twice as big as the one we visited before.
Prince Bai felt that our workshop was already established and there was no need to train additional staff and build a business, so he not only exchanged this farm for our small farm, but also took the indentures of those who originally worked in the workshop. "
Jin Qianqian frowned, "Didn't we say that before? And didn't we also want to bring those people to Daocheng?"
After all, it is better to use the new rather than the familiar. After working for such a long time, some people have developed a certain tacit understanding with Gu Wenheng.
Gu Wenheng smiled bitterly, "Forget it, we didn't suffer a big loss this time anyway, we can go back and train the people slowly.
The reason why I am so busy today is that I have to help settle the children who were originally raised in the manor and move them all to the new manor.
But the gentleman refused to move so far away, so I had to find another one."
Fortunately, Master Wu was alone and could move with his child, otherwise he might not be able to come back at this time.
Jin Qianqian looked at him with some distress, "Why don't you send someone back to tell me so I can go over and help."
Gu Wenheng touched her hair and said, "You've been busy today. Have you finished working on the soap workshop?"
Jin Qianqian, "I've asked them to pack up their things. They're in the warehouse, so they can just go get them when the time comes."
Since the Chinese New Year, the demand for soap has exploded. Not only is it needed to supply Prince Bai, but some foreign barbarians have also started purchasing large quantities.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Wenheng had to go back to take the exam, Jin Qianqian would really be reluctant to move back from here.
Jin Qianqian took away all the experienced people she had trained. As for transporting goods here in the future, they would have to use the escort agency's route.
Just like this time when he went back, Deng Yuanhang was stunned for a long time when he saw the long list of people and vehicles.
Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
On such a day, I wish you all a beautiful dream come true and be filled with hope! Whatever your heart desires, can come true!
