Chapter 304 305. Confidence
When faced with outsiders causing trouble, the brothers of the Gu family all stepped forward, and even the grandchildren following behind them were no exception, staring closely at the He family.
He Zhou swallowed her saliva and smiled, "We just said this when we were talking. We really came to congratulate the children's seventh uncle."
It seems that I really have to take it step by step, and build a good relationship before making other requests.
Thinking of this, He Zhou turned around and glared at her two sons, "You are so happy. You are just talking nonsense here. Hurry up and apologize to the children and their uncles."
Li Cuicui is now confident and will not waste time with them any more. "I'm deciding for these two children to stay. You all can go now."
"That won't work. Our children will naturally go back to their own homes. If you miss them, you can go visit them more often." Seeing everyone's unhappy faces, He Zhou changed her words stiffly, "It's mainly because they are used to following me. They can't leave me, and I can't bear to leave them either."
Li Cuicui looked back at Mrs. Song, and then she turned around and walked into the house. After a while, she brought the child out.
Seeing that they were still holding cakes in their hands, Li Cuicui squatted down and looked at them, "Grandma wants you to stay and accompany grandma, okay?"
He Chuncao's first reaction was to go see the He family, but Li Xiaohua came over and stopped her, "You will live here with your grandma in the future, and you can see your mother often."
"Then should I go back?" He Chuncao still remembers her grandma's kindness and always had her full meals at her grandma's place.
"Then do you want to go back?" Li Cuicui asked in a low voice?
He Chuncao shivered with fear and shook her head timidly, "We will go back hungry and have endless things to do. If I don't do my job well, they will not only scold us, but also beat us."
Gu Lehua looked at He Chuncao with rare sympathy. Although her mother could sometimes be irritable, she had never hit anyone.
Even my grandparents never said a harsh word to me.
"Then we won't go back," Li Cuicui gritted her teeth, supported the third brother's wife's hand and stood up, "Look at you brothers, your good niece is being treated so harshly by others?
It's fine if they don't have enough food to eat, but there's still endless work to do and endless scolding. Today, I decided to keep them here. Do you have any objections?"
The Gu brothers naturally had no objection. If it were in the past, they might have worried about feeding two more mouths. But now that my mother had thought of this, I could just let her raise her for fun. It wouldn't cost me a few taels of silver anyway.
Li Cuicui didn't know what these stupid sons were thinking, otherwise she would really kick one of them. This is her own granddaughter, not those cats and dogs she raised.
"Chief He, you have heard it too. The children are not living well at home. You must not want us to come to their door again because of these two children's affairs one day!" Since the old mother can't bear to see the children suffer, Gu Yuanjin, as the eldest brother, can only stand up.
If He Caogen knew about these things, he would not have come here with Gu Kaishan. Now he is stuck here. "It's okay for the child to live with his parents for a while. After all, the family name will not be changed."
As the patriarch of the He family, even if he hates He Tuping and his family in his heart, he still has to protect them.
"Of course, but we still have to make things clear for the two children's future. We can't just raise the children well and then take them back and arrange marriages for them at random." Liu Liu has a daughter of his own, so naturally he has more to think about.
"Yes, this matter really needs to be made clear." Li Cuicui also reacted, "We don't need to change the surnames of these two children, and we can let them go home and marry into the He family in the future. However, I have only one request, that is, the marriage of the children must be decided by us."
"No, that won't work. We've raised these two children for you in vain. In the future, they will only be close to their maternal family and won't care about our family at all." He Zhou wanted to squeeze over and pull the two children over, but the Gu family would never let them succeed. The servants of several families surrounded their masters to protect them.
"I know why you came here this time," Li Cuicui looked at them with a sneer, "Let me put it this way, as long as you agree to let them stay here and don't interfere with them in the future, I will give you ten taels of silver."
Li Cuicui is now confident in saying this, because her sons have never treated her badly and give her money from time to time. She is now an old lady with a small fortune of several hundred taels.
"You want to send us away with just ten taels of silver? These are my two granddaughters that I raised with great effort," He Zhoushi didn't think so. She still had to hold the children in her hands so that she could live with them for a long time.
Guests were already slowly coming over here, and Gu Yuanjin now just wanted to send this strange family away.
Looking at Gu Yuanshui for help, "Hurry up and solve this matter. I will take the others over there to entertain the guests."
Gu Yuanshui looked at the brothers who had already taken their people away, "..."
He glanced at Gu Kaishan who was watching the fun and pulled him to the front, "Are you thinking the money is not enough and planning to sell your granddaughter?
It seems that the He family is having a hard time, and they have even reached the point of selling their granddaughter.
Hey, Chief He, your tribe is in such a difficult situation, but you didn’t mention it to us. Otherwise, don’t send so many children here and waste money.”
Gu Kaishan said, "Is it so difficult? Isn't ten taels of silver too much? A child this young can't be sold for less than ten taels of silver."
"We didn't intend to sell the child," He Zhou said anxiously, "You said that. We didn't ask for anything."
,
"Twenty taels," Li Cuicui also noticed that a carriage had entered the village, "but you have to sign a pledge that you will have nothing to do with the two children in the future."
Seeing that the He family wanted to talk, Li Cuicui added, "If you don't want to, take them away now, or I'll have them thrown out."
"Is this what the No. 1 scholar's family is like? Do they want to bully others by taking advantage of their power?" He Tuliang said, gritting his teeth.
Gu Yuanshui, "Are we bullying others by taking advantage of our power? If you are willing, do it. If you are not willing, leave immediately. Our village does not want you to come in, and we do not want to have anything to do with you in the future.
As for these two children, you can take them away if you want. Do you really think we are willing to raise them?
We have a lot of grandchildren in our family, so there is no need for us to help you raise a person from another family for nothing."
Gu Yuanshui winked at his wife after he finished speaking. Liu Liu grabbed a child with one hand and pushed him in front of them, "My mother is kind-hearted, but we can't do this unprofitable business.
Mom, if you want to raise a little girl to play with you, I will let Lehua come to accompany you. We can do whatever we want with our own granddaughter, so why bother raising someone else's child?
Besides, if you really want granddaughters, ask your sister-in-law to give you a few more, and I guarantee you will have a happy life."
