Could it be that being single for too long has caused psychological problems?
Everything I hear sounds like someone is showing off.
Surely not? Changzheng doesn't seem like the type to show off.
Gu Tiezhu thought for a moment and realized he must have misheard; Gu Changzheng wasn't the type to boast.
"Then I'll head back now?"
"Yes, those things are well hidden. Let's not worry about them until I find a buyer."
"good."
Gu Changzheng and Gu Tiezhu have a 'secret base'. The place is very secluded, and only Gu Changzheng and Gu Tiezhu know its location.
The items that Gu Tiezhu brought back today have all been hidden away. They'll wait until Gu Changzheng finds a buyer, then they'll take them out for repairs and sell them.
After the two brothers finished speaking, Gu Changzheng saw Gu Tiezhu out the door, and only after watching him walk away did he turn around and close the courtyard gate.
Lu Huaijiao's voice could already be heard inside the room.
"Gu Changzheng, I want to take a shower..."
They really are being very rude in ordering me around!
Gu Changzheng found it somewhat amusing.
"You're so lazy you could die."
Despite saying that, he found a bucket specifically for carrying water, went to the kitchen to fetch water, carried it back to his room, and poured it into a large wooden tub in the inner room.
Only after the water temperature was brought to the most suitable level did they call someone to come and take a bath.
"The water is ready."
Lu Huaijiao, leaning against the cushions on the stool, lazily raised her head and glanced in Gu Changzheng's direction, then stretched out her arms for a hug.
"hug."
Gu Changzheng: ...
Looking at Lu Huaijiao's matter-of-fact expression, his back teeth ground together.
This person will be lazy to death sooner or later.
Despite the potential controversy surrounding her perceived laziness, Lu Huaijiao wasn't worried about her future at all. She not only had Gu Changzheng carry her to the bath, but she even had him help her undress.
Lu Huaijiao perfectly exemplified what it means to absolutely avoid taking action if possible.
While Gu Changzheng was serving Lu Zuzong a bath, Xu Honglian pressed her ear against the wall in the courtyard next door, eavesdropping on the sounds from next door like a thief.
Now, the Gu family's courtyards are separated for each branch. Xu Honglian, the second branch, is always good at taking advantage of others. She didn't spend her own money to buy bricks and build a wall, but since the first and third branches are separated, she used their walls to get a well-enclosed courtyard for herself.
Xu Honglian was quite proud of this. She thought the other wives were really stupid.
Because each household had built a wall around their house, Xu Honglian felt much less pressured to eavesdrop on the sounds from next door, without worrying about being discovered.
However, after listening for a while, she couldn't hear what the fourth room next door was saying.
Apart from smelling the meat coming from the fourth room while they were cooking, I didn't hear any other noises.
"That fourth brother is really something. He went back to his wife's parents' home with his rich wife, and when he came back, he didn't bring back any local specialties from the big city for his brothers and sisters-in-law. How can he have the nerve to say he went to the big city?"
Xu Honglian muttered to herself.
I don't know where she got the nerve to talk about Gu Changzheng and his family like that? As their sister-in-law, she didn't even give Lu Huaijiao and her husband a penny as a wedding gift when Gu Changzheng and his family got married, and she still has the nerve to blame them.
This truly proves the saying: "When people are shameless, they are invincible."
Having heard nothing, Xu Honglian grumbled as she walked back to her room. Seeing Gu Changqing fast asleep inside, Xu Honglian was furious.
"His own brother is back, but he doesn't even bother to find an excuse to go visit him and maybe bring some things back for his wife and kids. All he does is sleep. He might as well just sleep himself to death."
Xu Honglian grumbled as she went next door to check on her two sons, only to find them fast asleep, snoring loudly.
She went over and covered them with blankets.
He muttered to himself that Gu Changzheng and his wife would definitely bring back some food for those two old folks when they returned, and he would have to find a way to get his two sons to ask for those things tomorrow.
They are the only grandsons of the Gu family, so the best things in the family should be given to them first.
Back at home, He Meizhu was currently suffering from a headache due to Gu Jianhua's 'madness'. She never expected that her good second daughter-in-law would be staying up late at night, plotting to have her two grandsons come to her place to ask for things.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't give it to him.
Everyone has separated their families. Her grandsons are not just Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan, but also Daya and Erya, both of whom are her grandsons.
If there is something to give them, it will definitely be given to everyone equally.
But He Meizhu worked in the fields every day to earn work points, so she really had nothing to give them.
The other two branches of the Gu family, the eldest and third branches, are not as shameless as Xu Honglian. Now that they have separated their households, they just want to live their own lives well.
On the eldest branch of the family, Da Ya and Er Ya were eager to go and play with their aunt after they learned that she had returned, but Liu Chun stopped them from going.
And they won't be allowed to go anymore.
The reason is that my aunt is from the city, and people from the city don't like people from the countryside.
The two little girls didn't know.
Liu Chun then used Gu Changzheng as an example: "Look at your uncle, do you think he can win your aunt's favor? Your uncle is your aunt's husband, and she doesn't even like him, so how could she possibly like you?"
"So in order not to be disliked, you must never go to your aunt's house again."
Liu Chun didn't want Lu Huaijiao to look down on her, or feel that they were trying too hard to get close to her.
Daya and Erya didn't know why their mother would say that, but they felt that their aunt wasn't that kind of person. However, since their mother wouldn't let them go, they had no choice but to stay.
When the two sisters went to sleep at night, they would whisper to each other under the covers. They didn't think their aunt was the kind of person their mother described.
"My aunt really likes my uncle."
Er Ya spoke.
Daya nodded, agreeing with her younger sister.
"But Mother won't let us play with Auntie. Mother is pregnant with my younger brother now, so we can't make her angry. We won't go to Auntie anymore."
The two sisters don't talk much, but they are very sensible.
They know a lot of things.
Just like what Liu Chun said tonight, although from Liu Chun's perspective it was all Lu Huaijiao's fault, they knew that it was actually just because their mother didn't like their aunt.
They knew their mother was wrong, but they were their mother's children and couldn't upset her...
"I like my aunt."
Er Ya touched the pretty hair ties that Lu Huaijiao had given them before. It was the only gift they had received from anyone other than their grandmother since they were little.
They don't believe that such a younger aunt would dislike them.
Daya hummed in agreement and patted her younger sister's hair.
"We secretly like our little aunt."
