Chapter 222 223. Venting Out
With Li Cuicui's obstruction, Gu Yuanfeng didn't have the chance to say more even if he wanted to.
As soon as he left the village, Gu Wenheng saw a figure quickly hiding in the bushes.
Jin Qianqian also noticed it, "Just now I seemed to see my former Sixth Brother-in-law, did he also know that Sixth Sister gave birth?"
Gu Wenheng sneered, "They are trying to get back together, and I suspect the adoption was also caused by the He family."
"Don't the ancients value blood the most?" Jin Qianqian's face suddenly turned ugly, "That's a good plan."
Gu Wenheng glanced at the pile of hay and said, "No matter how much you plan, it will be a waste of energy if you don't accept it.
But this is also a blessing from God, it saves us a lot of trouble."
Jin Qianqian looked at the corner of the clothes that had not yet shrunk, smiled, motioned Gu Wenheng to stop the car first, and raised her voice, "I just saw something running into the bushes?"
"It should be a snake or insect!" Gu Wenheng couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, but he was still willing to cooperate.
Jin Qianqian picked up a few stones on the roadside and said, "Then I'll throw them and try. What if it's a hare or something like that?"
Gu Wenheng bent down and picked up two larger stones. "Then let's try it first. Sixth sister is giving birth, and we can also help her recover."
The two men looked at each other and threw the stones in their hands at the same time. Only the sound of bangs could be heard when the stones hit the ground. If you listened carefully, you could also hear a few muffled groans in between.
Jin Qianqian picked up a dozen stones from the ground and threw them over, then clapped her hands, "It seems I was mistaken. That's right, where did the hare come from on the side of the road? It must have been a small reptile or something, and I don't know where it would have run away by now."
"Let's go. You're so grown up, but you're still like a child. Look how dirty your hands are." Gu Wenheng took out a handkerchief to help Jin Qianqian clean up.
After letting out her anger, Jin Qianqian felt relaxed both physically and mentally. She hummed a little tune and sat comfortably on the donkey cart. Gu Wenheng flicked the whip in his hand, and the donkey began to pull the cart forward, swaying from side to side.
When the donkey cart was far away, He Tuping, who was hiding in the bushes, ran out with his head covered, and spat in the direction of the carriage, "It hurts so much."
But soon he thought of the news he had just heard, and his face was full of smiles again, "Yuan Feng gave birth? No wonder this woman didn't come out today, I have a son."
He didn't care about the bumps he had just received and limped back to his village.
"You said it was born? Is it a boy or a girl?" He Zhou raised her eyes, "Don't let it be another money-loser."
"Mom," He Tuliang called He Zhoushi, "Second brother, is it a son?"
He Tuping looked bewildered. "I only heard that the baby was born. I forgot to ask whether it was a boy or a girl."
"We are all brothers, why are you so stupid?" He Zhou looked disgusted, "Why don't you go and find out."
"Hey," He Tuping ran out without noticing that his elder brother was looking at him with a mocking expression.
"The second son is useless. He hasn't given that brat a proper status in such a long time." He Zhou looked at her eldest son and said, "Didn't you go to the county town last time? Is his seventh uncle really that rich now?"
He Tuliang nodded and said, "He built a huge house. Even our former landlords couldn't afford half of his.
I heard many people were talking about it. What kind of workshop are they going to open? The Gu family is really living a good life.
If the second son can persuade his wife to adopt the child to Gu Lao Qi, our He family will be able to turn things around in the future. "Thinking of this, He Tuliang's face was full of greed.
As long as the child's status is determined, he will find a way...
Not to mention how beautiful his imagination is now, how disappointed he will be when He Tuping comes back.

Daocheng
Gu Wenheng had just checked into the inn and was about to take a nap when the waiter brought him food.
“Was this delivered to the wrong person?” Gu Wenheng didn’t think that the other brothers would be so generous. Besides, everyone had just checked in, so it was impossible for the food to be served so quickly.
"This is what Master Lu asked us to prepare in advance. This is for Master Gu to welcome him."
"Lupin?"
The waiter nodded, "That's right."
"What? Can't it be me?" Lu Ping appeared at the door at this time, holding a fan in his hand, waving it up and down.
"I just didn't expect you to be so well-informed. How did you predict that I would come here today?"
Lu Ping walked in and raised his hand to let the waiter go down. "Have you forgotten what I do? It's not difficult to get this information."
Gu Wenheng looked at his smug look, smiled and shook his head, "Why are you in Daocheng at this time? Why didn't you follow Master Bai to Haicheng?"
Lu Ping walked over and sat opposite him. "Prince Bai has already returned to the capital. I felt it was boring to stay there, so I thought of coming back to join you in the fun."
"Is Prince Bai also going to take part in the provincial examination?" Gu Wenheng looked at Lu Ping in front of him with a smile, "Wouldn't it be just as lively in Shangjing?"
Lu Ping was so scared that he shook his head. "People like us should stay in small places like this. If we go out, we will either meet the rich and powerful or the relatives and friends of some government office. We cannot afford to offend them."
"Are you so timid?" Gu Wenheng was unwilling to believe his words, "Tell the truth."
Lu Ping was completely depressed. "My old lady sent me 18 urgent letters, and I was dragged back like this."
"Is it your marriage again?" Gu Wenheng filled a bowl of soup for himself and drank it while it was hot. "Is this to pack at Tianfu Restaurant?"
"Of course. Thanks to you, my wallet is much fatter now. I can't be too stingy, right?" Thinking of the different treatment he would receive after coming back this time, Lu Ping smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"I have to eat more now. When I get married, I probably won't be as free as I am now." Gu Wenheng picked up another piece of chicken with chopsticks in a serious manner. "When are you going to hold the wedding banquet? Remember to post a message when the time comes."
"Look, you're humiliating me right away," Lu Ping thought about the various banquets he had attended these days, and his head was spinning. "Your brother is in dire straits right now, and I was only able to come out and relax these two days under the pretext that you were coming over. Let's not talk about those things that spoil the fun now."
"In that case, let's just eat today and not talk about things," Gu Wenheng poured a cup of tea into his cup, "Let's use tea instead of wine. Thank you, Brother Lu, for your hospitality."
"This is all as I should do, but I came here today to ask for something."
Gu Wenheng raised his hand to stop him, "We agreed to only eat and not talk about things."
Lu Ping: "..." Who told you so?
Gu Wenheng, "." I know there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Forget it, just eat it first.
"You should have guessed it," Lu Ping saw how deliciously he was eating and his appetite also came up, and he did not forget to talk while eating.
Gu Wenheng, "So what if you guessed it? It's still those two words, no!"
