Chapter 328 329. Brothers Reunion
Gu Wenheng finally arrived home before the sun set. When he heard the report from the housekeeper at the door, Gu Wenheng remembered that he had an appointment with his second brother and his family today.
"Ma'am, have they eaten yet?"
Butler Fu shook his head and said, "Madam mentioned before that we should set the meal first, but Second Master said that we should wait for you, my Lord."
Gu Wenheng could only go straight to the side hall. Before he even entered the room, he heard the unique voice of his second sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, your house is so big, maybe it can accommodate the four of us?
We are all blood brothers from the same family, you won't let us live in that dark and narrow thatched house, right?"
Jin Qianqian, "..."
Gu Wenheng, "Look at what my second sister-in-law said. Even if it's a thatched hut, your family has lived there for such a long time. You would still care about the next few days."
If the other party speaks nicely, Gu Wenheng wouldn't mind renting out a side courtyard for them to stay temporarily, but who would give her the feeling that this place is her right?
Looking at Gu Wenheng who came in in official uniform, Gu Lehuan had seen him yesterday and was not that surprised.
However, Gu Yuanmu and Wang Caiyue almost fell to their knees, as this was very different from the Old Seven in their memories.
Looking at the familiar facial features and the completely opposite aura, Gu Yuanmu called out tentatively, "Seventh Brother?"
"Second brother, sorry to have kept you waiting." After Gu Wenheng greeted Gu Yuanmu, he didn't even look at Wang Caiyue.
"No, we have nothing to do anyway." Gu Yuanmu swallowed his saliva. He felt very unfamiliar facing his seventh brother like this.
Jin Qianqian walked over to him and brushed the dust off his shoulders. "Now that we're home, you didn't even bother to go back to your room and change into some casual clothes. Why don't you go back to your room and wash up? We'll be having dinner soon. Second brother and the others have been waiting for so long, they must be hungry."
Gu Wenheng also knew that his clothes would make them feel uncomfortable, but now that his goal had been achieved, he also wanted to dress more refreshingly.
"Then second brother, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon."
"Go ahead, it's okay for us to wait a little longer." Gu Yuanmu said this without confidence. The gap between the brothers was too big now. How could he dare to act like an older brother?
After eating and drinking tea, Gu Yuanmu stood up and was about to say goodbye and go back.
Wang Caiyue was somewhat reluctant. Didn't she have her own brothers here? Why did she go back to live such a hard life?
Gu Yuanmu winked at her two sons, and the three of them surrounded her and slowly walked out.
Gu Wenheng sent them out the door and said, "Second brother, the conditions in Gaoling Village are very good now. If you want to go back, I will arrange a carriage to take you back."
Gu Yuanmu nodded excitedly. He was too embarrassed to speak before. "Of course I want to go see my parents. I haven't been around to show my filial piety in the past two years. I feel sorry for them."
Gu Wenheng, "...anytime is convenient for you, wait..."
"Seventh Brother, I want to go back tomorrow." Gu Yuanmu was really tired of living without relatives and friends, and without tribesmen.
Although they can now fill their stomachs here, they are the only ones who know about the contempt and bullying they have endured.
Gu Wenheng didn't expect him to be so anxious. Just as he was about to agree, Gu Lehuan grabbed Gu Yuanmu's arm and said, "Dad, even if we are going back to find grandpa and grandma, there is no need to be so anxious. We also have to say goodbye to some familiar people here. Otherwise, if our family disappears so suddenly, everyone will worry."
Gu Yuanmu smiled awkwardly at Gu Wenheng, "Look, second brother, you are anxious. You have indeed received help from some people here. You should give them some time to say goodbye. How about you wait and see, second brother will come to see you in a few days?"
Gu Wenheng naturally didn't care, "Second brother, if you need any help, just ask, I will try my best to help you as long as I can.
I will tell the housekeeper in the mansion that if you have any problems in the future, just go to him."
"Why can't you just go find your seventh brother's wife?" Wang Caiyue glanced at Jin Qianqian after she finished speaking. Why did she go to the housekeeper when she had something to do? Instead of this hostess?
Gu Wenheng, "She receives endless invitations every day and is very busy. I'm afraid that if you come over, she'll be out for a banquet and you'll miss it."
Wang Caiyue felt very upset after hearing this. She had suffered too many blows in the past day, and she shouldn't have said too much just now.
After they walked away, Gu Yuanmu asked Gu Lehuan in confusion, "Even if there are only a few families who need to say goodbye, it won't take a few days. Do you have any friends who need to say goodbye?"
Gu Lehuan lowered her head shyly. "Boss Xu is very busy these days. He took such good care of me before. I can't just leave him alone now."
"It's Xu Nuo again." Wang Caiyue looked down on the orphan Xu Nuo at this time. "Fortunately, you didn't go to be her son-in-law before. In the future, mother will find you a virtuous wife and we won't go to her house to see her face."
Gu Yuanmu: "..." He didn't even think about who was the one who instigated this incident.
Gu Lehuan ignored her and walked forward. He used to feel that he was not worthy of Xu Dongjia, and he still feels that he is not worthy of him now.
I am a child from a mountain village, I can't even read a single word, I am not even qualified to stand next to Xu Dongjia, what right do I have to look down on others?
"Look at your son. He's so annoying now." Wang Caiyue complained to Gu Yuanmu, and then said to Gu Lexi, "You can't be like your elder brother. I don't owe you anything. Why should I have to look at your faces?"
Gu Yuanmu took a deep breath and quickly caught up with Gu Lehuan, "Do you have any ideas about that Xu Dongjia?"
Gu Lehuan paused for a moment, but immediately strode forward, "Dad, I know my own worth, don't say these things, or you'll ruin other people's reputations.
But you should also talk about my mother. She is so old now, and she knows what to say and what not to say.
Otherwise, even if Uncle Seven wanted to help us, he would be ruined by Mother’s mouth.”
If Jin Qianqian were here, she would give a thumbs up. This is simply the most sober thing in the world.
She is now also talking about their family with Gu Wenheng. After discussing it, they decided that it would be best to send them back to Gaoling Village.
Otherwise, with my second sister-in-law's personality, she would get into trouble sooner or later.
"Then I have to write a letter to my sisters-in-law. I guess there will be some trouble when I return home." Jin Qianqian didn't think that the old lady and sisters-in-law at home would be able to suppress Wang Caiyue.
As for Gu Yuanmu's sudden return, are the brothers willing to share the tofu secret recipe with him? That is their business, and Jin Qianqian doesn't think she wants to meddle in other people's business.
Gu Wenheng didn't think these were difficult tasks. With the intelligence of those brothers, they would make sure Gu Laoer's family was properly settled, whether for their own sake or to have a good relationship with him.
