Chapter 126 He also has family, no longer alone
The woman saw that Gu Siyuan was unwilling to go back with her, so she had no way to get his salary. The woman
said to Shen Jiale: "Since you want to take the child away, you should pay for his living expenses and accommodation in our house, as well as her grandmother's funeral expenses."
Shen Jiale asked: "How much?"
Seeing that Shen Jiale was so easy to talk to, the woman said: "I will charge him 50 yuan for living expenses and accommodation. The funeral expenses cost a lot. You have to give me 100 yuan."
Gu Siyuan was so angry that he pointed at the woman and said: "You are talking nonsense. I live in your house, live in the kitchen, work every day, and you only give me one meal a day!
When grandma passed away, you took away all the valuable things in our house and buried her with only a straw mat. You still have the nerve to say that you spent 100 yuan."
The woman and the little boy accused Gu Siyuan of being heartless. Gu Siyuan said that they had occupied grandma's things.
The two sides argued endlessly.
Shen Jiale stopped them: "Since you both have your own reasons, why don't you go to the Public Security Bureau and let the police handle this matter? I believe the neighbors around here know something about the situation."
He said to Gu Siyuan: "We are not in a hurry. I will go with you."
The woman panicked. She moved all his family's things to her own home under the pretext of taking care of Gu Siyuan.
Gu Siyuan had only lived in her home for more than a month. What if the police came to investigate and wanted to get those things back?
After thinking about it, the woman said, "Siyuan, you want to leave, but I don't care about you. After you leave, you have nothing to do with our family, and don't come to our house again."
Gu Siyuan said firmly, "I won't go to your house again, and I hope you won't disturb my life."
The woman thought, there is no advantage to be taken, who would be willing to go to him? The woman in front of her said that she was giving Gu Siyuan wages, and it was estimated that she was just coaxing him to work more.
In this world, there are not so many kind-hearted people who don't seek rewards.
...
After the woman left with her son, Shen Jiale also took Gu Siyuan with her.
After a while, Gu Siyuan plucked up the courage to ask: "Sister, is what you just said true?"
"What?"
Gu Siyuan whispered: "You said let me be your brother."
"You already call me sister, do I still need to ask?"
Gu Siyuan raised a smile.
From now on, he is no longer alone, he also has relatives.
Gu Siyuan quietly put his head close to Shen Jiale's back.
However, he still didn't dare to lean on Shen Jiale's back.
The road ahead was a bit bumpy, and Gu Siyuan's head touched Shen Jiale's back.
Shen Jiale asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"
Gu Siyuan touched his head and said with a smile: "Sister, it doesn't hurt." When they
arrived at the biscuit factory, Shen Jiale introduced Gu Siyuan to everyone, saying that he was her adopted brother.
Liang Qiaoli did not ask directly, but came over and touched Gu Siyuan's head. Gu Siyuan wanted to avoid her out of habit, but he held back.
"This child is so handsome, people would believe you are his brother."
Gu Siyuan was very happy to hear that, and called out sweetly, "Hello, Auntie!"
Liang Qiaoli praised, "What a polite child, come to Auntie's house today, Auntie will make you delicious food."
Shen Jiale took the pork leg off the car, Liang Qiaoli saw it and was surprised, "You bought so much meat, can you finish it?"
Shen Jiale said, "Director Xu saw that everyone has been working hard during this period, so he bought meat to reward everyone, and everyone in the factory will have a share."
The workers looked at the pork leg happily after hearing that.
The village chief's wife found a scale and removed the bones. There happened to be 24 kilograms of meat left.
Each employee in the factory was given a pound of pork.
When everyone got off work, they all happily carried the pork home, making the villagers envious.
Liang Qiaoli said she wanted to go back and make dumplings to eat, so Zhou Min gave her portion of meat to Liang Qiaoli and said they would eat together.
Liang Qiaoli said: "Put more cabbage, one pound of meat is enough. This is distributed in the factory. You take it back to honor your mother."
Zhou Min also had this plan at the beginning, but only came to this conclusion when his mother-in-law asked him and Shen Jiale to go over to eat together.
Since her mother-in-law had said so, Zhou Min cut off half a pound of meat and gave it to Liang Qiaoli: "There are only three people in my family, so they can't eat so much. We have a large family, and there are also young relatives today, so put more meat."
Liang Qiaoli happily took the meat and took Gu Siyuan's hand home.
...
Seeing that Gu Siyuan didn't stop after arriving at the old house.
Sweeping the floor and cleaning the chicken coop, Liang Qiaoli and Shen Jiale asked about Gu Siyuan's origins.
Hearing that Gu Siyuan became an orphan at a young age, his family property was occupied by others, and he didn't have enough to eat, and could only rely on working for others and washing clothes to get a bite of food, Liang Qiaoli felt very distressed.
During the meal, Liang Qiaoli kept making dumplings for Gu Siyuan.
Gu Siyuan touched his full stomach and said, "Auntie, I'm really full."
Lu Mingqi said, "How can a boy grow taller if he eats so little?" Then he filled half a bowl of dumplings for Gu Siyuan.
Seeing Gu Siyuan's embarrassment, Zhou Min smiled and patted Lu Mingqi lightly, "It's uncomfortable to hold it if you eat too much. Fill a bowl of dumpling soup for Siyuan."
Lu Mingqi obediently stood up and filled a bowl of dumpling soup and placed it in front of Gu Siyuan.
Gu Siyuan picked up the bowl, lowered his head and drank the dumpling soup, tears fell into the bowl, but it tasted sweet when he drank it in his mouth.
Lu Yongfu did not come back for dinner, saying that a young man from the village had gone to give a betrothal gift and asked him to accompany him as a witness, so he stayed for dinner.
Since the biscuit factory opened, there have been many such incidents, and Liang Qiaoli has gotten used to it.
She just asked Lu Yongfu to remember one thing, not to take advantage of his father-in-law's status as the deputy factory director to bully others.
Lu Yongfu repeatedly promised that he would never embarrass Shen Jiale.
...
After cleaning up the dishes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down to chat, and then they heard Liu Xiaocui's voice outside.
"Third brother, your family is increasingly not treating us as one family. You would rather make dumplings for an outsider than serve a bowl to the descendants of the Lu family."
Lu Yongfu didn't know that Gu Siyuan had come home. When he saw a little boy in the house, he asked, "Whose child is this? Has he eaten at our house?"
Gu Siyuan was very nervous.
Shen Jiale said, "Dad, this is Siyuan, my newly recognized brother."
"Oh, so that's Mingfeng's brother-in-law." He took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to Gu Siyuan: "They gave me these wedding candies. Give them to you."
Gu Siyuan took the fruit candies with both hands and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Seeing this, Liu Xiaocui was unconvinced and said, "Third brother, you are too partial. You would rather give the candies to an outsider. Your nephew is crying."
Lu Yongfu said, "He is Mingfeng's brother-in-law, a legitimate relative. How can he be an outsider? Your grandson is crying, so just buy him some candies. Who I want to give my things to is my business. You don't have to care."
Liu Xiaocui still had something to ask Lu Yongfu. She didn't dare to say anything even after being scolded, and had to put on a smile.
"Third brother, Mingyu still hasn't found a job. Go talk to the mayor and arrange a job for Mingyu as soon as possible."
Lu Yongfu said, "Second sister-in-law, you flatter me too much. How can I, a countryman who grows crops, get in touch with someone like the mayor? Mingyu has a skill, so he doesn't have to worry about not being assigned a job. Just wait patiently."
Liu Xiaocui wanted Shen Jiale to help, but Shen Jiale got up and told her parents-in-law that she had to go back and ignored her.
