Su Nianxue didn't take it. "Yanliu, you keep this money!"
We do this partly because we're too bored, and partly to earn some extra pocket money.
She glanced outside, then lowered her voice and said,
"Also, don't talk about doing more in front of your brother in the future, or he might take it out on you."
She seemed to understand Gu Yanbai somewhat.
He may look carefree and irresponsible, but deep down he's no different from any other man in the village.
He believed that a man should support his family and protect the women in his home from hardship.
Their hard work in making tofu not only embarrassed him but also dampened his enthusiasm for supporting his family.
Gu Yanliu pushed the money on the table back, saying, "Sister-in-law, we've agreed that you'll split the profits with me every month."
Keep this money for now, we'll settle the accounts at the end of the month.
"Okay!" Since she said so, Su Nianxue accepted it without hesitation.
Gu Yanliu secretly glanced into the courtyard and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, my brother is a chauvinist."
I'm not afraid of him at all!
"We'll make more when he's not home one of the days."
Su Nianxue smiled and nodded, these words really touched her heart, "Okay, after your brother leaves, we'll make more."
"Sister-in-law, don't you find it strange?" Gu Yanliu looked thoughtful.
"What's wrong?"
“My brother is home almost every day now, and he comes back every night.”
I don't think our tofu business has any chance of growing big.
Why is he not busy anymore?
"I almost miss the days when he was never home." Gu Yanliu rested her chin on her hand, looking quite disappointed.
Su Nianxue...
"Why don't you go and ask around?" she teased.
Gu Yanliu shook her head vigorously, "No!"
I bet if I dared to ask him, he'd definitely give me a piece of his mind.
She glanced at Gu Yanliu's basket and then asked, "By the way, what did you buy?"
Gu Yanliu brought in the basket and took out the items one by one.
A string of pork, a large piece of pig liver, and even a large bowl of bright red pig blood.
"Why did you buy so much?" Su Nianxue frowned as she looked at the items.
It wasn't that she was stingy with the money; it was just that her appetite wasn't very good in this hot weather.
Wouldn't it be a waste if we couldn't finish it?
"My brother asked me to buy these. He said that you are what you eat!" Gu Yanliu carried all these things into the kitchen.
Su Nianxue...
If she hadn't known that Gu Yanbai had been massaging her stomach all night, she would have almost thought he was teasing her.
At noon, Gu Yanbai forced her to drink a large bowl of pig's blood soup before she would stop.
It was already dark, and the family was getting ready for bed!
Then they heard a faint knocking sound coming from outside the door.
"Who is it? Coming, coming!" Gu Yanliu hurriedly ran to open the door.
"Yanliu, who is it?" Seeing that she hadn't come in for a while, Su Nianxue called out to her back.
But I still didn't hear her reply.
She was just about to go to the door to take a look when she saw her turn around and lead someone inside.
"Big brother, you..." Why is Gu Yansong here in the middle of the night?
Gu Yanbai also looked surprised, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
And why did you only come back after it was already dark?
Gu Yansong walked in blankly, his head hanging low and his face filled with grief.
Only when she saw them did she choke out, "Yanbai, Yanliu, I... I was kicked out of the Liu family!"
He managed to finish those words before collapsing to the ground, burying his face in his hands, and bursting into tears.
"Brother, don't cry. Get up and tell me what happened."
Gu Yanbai's face was dark and gloomy, his eyes filled with malice, and he reached out to pull him up.
Gu Yansong just buried his head and cried, completely ignoring what he said, and cried even louder.
Enraged, Gu Yanbai slammed his fist hard against the pillar. Still furious, he was about to kick it.
Su Nianxue's eyes flickered, she walked over, took his wrist, shook it gently, and said softly,
"Don't worry, let him cry! It's good for him to vent."
They all actually figured it out.
Gu Yansong has been living a very repressed life these past few years. When he came back, did he not even have a smile on his face?
Hearing her gentle words of comfort, Gu Yanbai's emotions eased a bit, and he withdrew his outstretched foot.
He then took her hand and tightened his grip, saying to Gu Yanliu,
"Go and make a bowl of noodles for your older brother; he probably hasn't eaten yet!"
Gu Yanliu wiped away her tears, nodded, and turned to go to the kitchen.
He's probably cried enough!
Gu Yansong finally let go of her hand, raised his head, and looked at her with some guilt and shame in his eyes.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Yanbai, I'm sorry. It's my fault as the eldest brother. I've made you all worry."
"Brother, don't talk about this yet, tell me what exactly happened."
"What exactly happened between you and the Liu family?" Gu Yanbai asked directly, impatient with his rambling.
God knows how hard he endured it.
If someone hadn't been there to keep him calm, he probably would have gone to the Liu family that very night to demand an explanation!
"Liu Yuanyuan... ran away with Huihui!"
Gu Yansong is known for his outrageous statements; he dropped a bombshell right from the start.
Su Nianxue was shocked. His wife and children had run away?
