Chapter 689 691. Calculation
No matter how much He Tuping begged, he could not get the sister-in-law of the Gu family to give in. He picked up his package and left, looking back every few steps.
Liu Liu shook his head, "I really don't know if he has thought it through or if someone has enlightened him.
Do you really think that we can obey his wishes just by his pleading?"
Wang Caiyue put her hands on her hips and pouted, "He was smart this time. He didn't ask Mrs. He and his brother and sister-in-law to come over. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to waste so much time with him and would just scold him and get out."
"Okay, it'll save us some trouble if he's like this.
Who wants to quarrel every day when you can talk peacefully?
No matter what, our Gu family is different from before. If we make a big fuss about it, others will not know about it and think we are bullying others by taking advantage of our power. "
After Xie Ruyi finished speaking, he clapped his hands and walked towards the village. He did not forget to greet the people who were watching the fun nearby, and invited everyone to come to his house for tea when they had time.

Stone Village
Li Chuncao was wearing a wedding dress and sitting in the bridal chamber, but her face did not show any joy of a bride, instead, she looked gloomy.
He was clearly a guest at the Shi family, and everything was fine before.
Because she had a stepbrother of the same age, she had tried to avoid him as much as possible.
She didn't know why she woke up that day and found herself lying in her stepbrother's room.
What he faced was his mother's unbelieving eyes and endless accusations.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she was being plotted against. She just didn't know whether her mother, who was screaming hysterically, had any hand in it.
She didn't even have a chance to speak afterwards. In less than two days, her marriage was settled. She married into the Shi family even though she wasn't even old enough.
It’s not that she didn’t resist, but faced with repeated persuasion, she finally compromised.
"You are not old enough now, so I let Laicai sleep in the room in the backyard." Gu Yuanfeng brought her a bowl of food, "Don't blame me, this matter has already been decided.
In the future, you will have your mother to help you and your brother in this family, so you will not be bullied.
We are of one mind, Shi Laicai will not dare to treat you badly."
"Did you plan this?"
Gu Yuanfeng looked at Li Chuncao with a complicated expression, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, I really didn't know anything about this matter from beginning to end.
Although I am a little selfish, I can also distinguish between inside and outside.
Even though you sisters are not close to me, you are still closer to me than Shi Laicai and his siblings.
I also want to marry you to someone with a better family background, so that you can help your brothers in the future."
Li Chuncao believed it, "After all, in your heart, Shi Laiyun is still the most important.
For the sake of their mother-daughter relationship, could you send Chunya back to the Gu family?
They are plotting against me today, but won't they plot against Chunya someday?"
Chunya was raised by her, and now that she has become like this, she doesn't want her sister to follow in her footsteps.
“I would like to, but your grandmother won’t let anyone stay.
Don't worry, with you and me here, can't the two of us protect Chunya?"
Li Chuncao, "..." It's because of your presence that I feel more worried.
In the backyard of the Shi family, the Shi family father and son were also discussing this matter.
Shi Dayong looked at Shi Laicai and Shi Niu coldly, "Now you are satisfied, but you didn't even discuss such a big thing with me in advance.
The relationship I managed to maintain with great difficulty was almost destroyed by your two misbehaviors."
Shi Niu, "Dad, aren't you happy? When you were meeting guests outside, you were smiling from ear to ear.
You and your eldest brother both married the Gu family's aunt, so your relationship is even closer."
"Do you really think that others can't see that this is all planned?" Shi Dayong glared at his daughter, "It's just that the matter has been exposed, and they don't want to make their reputation worse, so they have to admit it.
But you two brothers and sisters, this time you have completely trampled on the reputation of our Shi family."
"Dad, this is all my idea." Shi Laicai stood in front of his sister, "I know you and that woman are planning to propose marriage to me, but I think Dad has an idea of who you are talking about.
You just want to find someone who is gentle and easy to control to serve that woman.
Isn't this good? Finding her own daughter to be her daughter-in-law, and bringing a large dowry. In the future, relying on the relationship with several uncles, her son won't have to work as hard as others."
With this relationship, the title of uncle is truly worthy of the title. Unlike before, when outsiders introduced them as Gu Yuanfeng's stepchildren, the relationship was much more distant.
“Hey, you guys still haven’t figured it out yet.
Do you think that once you make this relationship a reality, you can rest assured?
But your calculations have already been seen as a disadvantage by others."
"So what? They have to acknowledge this relationship no matter what." Shi Laicai said in a tough tone, "Li Chuncao has been with the old lady for so long, her affection for her is no less than that woman's.
Besides, it would be better to marry Li Chuncao than those women you found for me. At least she has studied in the school for so long, and I will have face when I go out.
Look at those people who came to drink today. Although they said sour words, you don’t know how envious they are in their hearts.
Losing face doesn’t matter, what matters is getting real benefits.”
Shi Dayong, "..."
Everyone in the Shi family had his own plans. The stable life that Shi Dayong had managed to maintain disappeared not long after. There was chaos all day long, which created a lot of topics for Shitou Village.

Yongchang County
Before Gu Wenheng could wait for official approval and advance funds to arrive, he met an old acquaintance.
When Ning Yuchen came to ask for a meeting, it took Gu Wenheng a long time to come back to his senses.
"This is really a bad fate." Gu Wenheng shook his head and guessed that Ning Yuchen was assigned here.
Now that someone has come to ask for a meeting, I can’t just refuse.
He was led to the side hall and served tea, and then he dealt with the official documents he brought back today, and then left the study.
"Lord Ning, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I had some things to deal with, so I'm late. Please forgive me." Gu Wenheng said as soon as he entered the door.
"I dare not," Ning Yuchen quickly stood up and saluted, his attitude was much more respectful, "It is my humble servant who came here to disturb you. I hope Master Gu will forgive me."
Gu Wenheng came to the main seat and sat down. "Master Ning, please take a seat. It's been a long journey. Master Ning, you must have worked hard all the way."
"This is all as I should do. I haven't reported back to you yet. I was assigned to Hexi County as a judge. I thought you were in Yongchang County, so I came here to disturb you."
After these days, Gu Wenheng is familiar with the terrain here. Hexi County does not pass through Yongchang County. This kid deliberately took a detour, not only to show his presence, but also probably to take advantage of his power as the Censor.
If it were someone else, Gu Wenheng wouldn't care so much.
It’s just that Ning Yuchen has always been unfriendly to him and even plotted against him several times. He doesn’t want to have any more dealings with such a person.
It's the end of the year, please vote.
