Chapter 211 212. The Boy Who Spreads Money
After hearing what Jin Qianqian said, Gu Lehua stroked the silver bracelet on her hand, as if she could accept it.
They are all destined to be the boys who give away money, so it is even more impossible for Jin Qianqian to leave the old man behind.
Not only were there two sets of spring and summer clothes, but the old lady was also given a set of silver jewelry, which made the old lady so excited that she caressed her hair. At the same time, the wives were so envious that their eyes turned red, and they suddenly felt that the skirts they were wearing were no longer attractive.
As for the Jin brothers, there was no way they would send gifts from her, their sister-in-law. So they could be simply ignored.
Seeing that everyone got something, Song Xiuniang pushed Gu Lejia and asked, "Why did they leave us behind?"
Gu Lejia had been with Chen Dagui for so long, how could he not see the value of the jade pendant.
Although he was envious, he didn't have the courage to go over and ask for it, so he simply turned around and walked over to stand next to Gu Ledi.
Song Xiuniang pursed her lips. She knew that Jin Qianqian was not someone who was easy to mess with. She could only hide the resentment in her heart, but she was helpless.
Li Cuicui looked at such a large family. She wanted to keep the seventh child to eat together, but with so many people, she couldn't afford the food she had. She could only say to Gu Wenheng, "You've been away for so long, you should go visit the elders of the clan.
As for the Le family, your eldest brother and his family will naturally take them to visit them when the time comes, so you can make your own arrangements first."
Gu Wenheng stood up at this time and said, "It's time to go for a walk. We brothers can continue our conversation when we have free time."
Gu Yuanshui immediately understood what the old lady meant, and stood up and shouted to Liu Liu, "The weeds in the field haven't been pulled out yet, go back and change your clothes quickly, don't get them dirty, I'm going to the field first."
Having said this, he deliberately glanced at his son and daughter. Liu Liu immediately understood what he meant and left, grabbing the children in each hand.
As soon as she went out, Gu Lehua covered the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Mom, this is a gift from Aunt Qi. I will be careful not to lose it."
Liu Liu coaxed her in a low voice, "Mom knows you won't lose it, but other girls in the village don't have it. If they coax you, then you can lend it to them to have a look. Will you lend it to them?"
Gu Lehua shook her head fiercely. "No way. Their hands are so rough. If they break my bracelet, they won't be able to pay for it."
Liu Liu gave her a thumbs up and said, "As expected of my daughter, you are so smart.
But if you don’t lend it to them, everyone will think you are stingy and won’t want to play with you anymore.”
"Well, I'll keep it myself." Gu Lehua's eyes were still defensive, "I will definitely hide it well."
"What if you lose it?"
“…”
Gu Lekai was already frightened, and he quickly stuffed the jade pendant hidden in his arms into Liu Liu's hand, "Mom, you should keep it for me, but remember to give it to me when I grow up."
Liu Liu carefully wrapped the jade pendant with a handkerchief and said, "Don't worry! My mother can't wear this jade pendant."
Gu Lehua looked at the small bracelet on her wrist, then looked at Liu Liu's wrist, and handed the bracelet over.
“…”
Jin Qianqian and her friends just took a tour around the village and visited all the elders before they understood what the eldest sister-in-law meant by her previous words.
"My sister-in-law said that she wants to divide the family business, so she wants you to go over and take a look." Gu Yuantu was assigned to come and make the announcement.
"What family do you want to divide?" Gu Wenheng didn't react. Didn't the brothers already divide the family?
Gu Yuantu smiled innocently, "My eldest sister-in-law is now imitating my mother, saying that since the Le family has already started a family, then we should just separate and live separately, just like we brothers did back then."
In Gu Yuantu's opinion, there was nothing wrong with his sister-in-law's decision. After all, all the brothers had gone through this.
Jin Qianqian understood in her heart that although the blame was now being borne by her mother-in-law, she also played a small role in it.
"Isn't this sister-in-law too impatient? She just arrived home today and she wants to divide the family. What will she think the children will think?" Although Gu Wenheng did not have a good impression of the Gu Le family, there was no need to rush this matter. The family could completely discuss it slowly behind closed doors after they left.
Gu Yuantu couldn't explain it either, so he could only laugh dryly, "Then remember to go to Big Brother later. I still have to inform the other elders."
"This Fifth Brother ran really fast," Jin Qianqian came back to her senses and saw only Gu Yuantu's back, "Do you think it was because we went to collect the debt from them before?"
Gu Wenheng, "This is just one of the reasons. I guess my sister-in-law didn't like the daughter-in-law brought back by the Le family."
To be honest, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian had already decided to treat the twenty taels of silver as a token of their appreciation as elders, and that their nephews and nieces would also be treated in the same manner in the future.
As for why this was brought up today, it was because the young couple were too troublesome and Jin Qianqian wanted to make things difficult for them.
"Shall we go then?"
Gu Wenheng, "Let's go and take a look! Fifth Brother came to inform us specially, and we are at home now, it would be bad if we don't go."

"Mom, I don't want to split up the family." Gu Lejia had just arrived home and was still looking at the only two brick houses and the thatched house next to it. He was wondering why the conditions at home were a little different from those of his other uncles' homes, but he didn't expect his mother to do this to him.
Xie Ruyi, "You can see this family, when they were settled here, each person was given two mu of land, and they could reclaim it as much as they wanted.
Now that you're back, we still have to notify the clan and the village to reregister you and give you land. We have to go through this process anyway, so why not just do it all at once? You can also directly register a new household, which will save you some deed tax in the future."
"But we just came back," Gu Lejia's face looked a little ugly. The excitement he had felt before when he saw his family was now like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
Xie Ruyi, "It's just the right time now. Not only can we get our household registration re-registered, but we can also get a new plot of land in the village to build a house. It's better than squeezing into these few rooms with us."
Song Xiuniang's face lit up with joy, but she tried hard to control it for a long time before keeping a straight face. "Mother-in-law, the Le family and I have nothing now, so how can we have anything else? How are we going to live in the future?"
Xie Ruyi snorted, "How can we survive? When we first came here, we had nothing. We can always survive with our own hands and feet.
Besides, the Le family gave you twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Did you enter empty-handed? "
Whenever Xie Ruyi thought about a widow asking her son to spend so much money, she couldn't calm down.
She felt a little resentful about why Gu Wenheng had to lend money out. If they could write a letter to inform her and then make a decision, she wouldn't have to be so passive now.
"Mom, what is all this for? Just because I decided to marry Xiuniang?"
