Chapter 47: Bring Goudan home! Similar eyebrows and eyes
"Oh! I didn't say anything wrong. You still don't admit it. Didn't you just sell your own daughter? And you think we all know it?"
"Whoever sold their daughter, I would never sell my daughter. If you don't believe me, come and see me in a month."
Lin Xiuzhen had no intention of explaining this matter to anyone.
As for whether you believe it or not, you will know when you see it.
"Tsk, you're just trying to fool us. You're thinking that in a month, no one will remember about it, and your daughter won't even be known where she is. By then, she'll have been sold anyway!"
Wang Xianglian was the first one who didn't believe it.
Everyone has seen what kind of person Lin Xiuzhen was before.
So few people believed what she said.
Lin Xiuzhen went home after she finished speaking, not caring about the murmurs of the people outside. She just glanced at Goudan when she entered and said, "Come in quickly."
Lin Xiuzhen's tone was fierce and she seemed like someone who was not easy to mess with.
But Goudan was not afraid at all. He nodded in agreement and followed Lin Xiuzhen into the yard quickly.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Why did you bring back a boy?"
"Could it be that Lin Xiuzhen sold her daughter and brought back a boy in exchange?"
Someone immediately rolled his eyes, "Who's son would trade for a little girl? Besides, didn't you see that the child was in rags? Who knows where Lin Xiuzhen picked up the child?"
That child is already a grown-up.
He brought him home now, could it be that he still wants to be a live-in son-in-law?
Or did he think Gu Jiabao was useless and bought another child?
The more people thought about it, the more they felt that this was possible. Before long, the news had spread throughout the village.
Lin Xiuzhen looked at the dirty kid standing in front of her and finally softened her heart.
"Okay, I'll go boil some water for you, and you go take a bath!"
After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
Gu Chunlan heard the noise and came out of the house.
Then I saw a dirty man standing at the kitchen door.
I was almost scared by this.
"Who are you?"
"I......."
"Boss, I'm back."
Lin Xiuzhen was worried that her eldest daughter was frightened, so she quickly spoke from the kitchen.
After hearing Lin Xiuzhen's voice, I felt relieved immediately.
"Mom, you're back so soon. And, who is this......"
"I brought back a doll. I'm boiling water now. Go find Gu Jiabao's clothes and change them for him. Also, check if there's anything else to eat in the kitchen."
"Oh, okay~"
Gu Chunlan looked at the other person with curiosity. She didn't have any hostility at this time. She just felt that the man's eyebrows and eyes were quite good-looking and a little familiar.
However, seeing the other party's awkward look, he didn't say anything. He went into the house first, took out a piece of cake and handed it to him, then went to Gu Jiabao's room to find a short piece of clothing.
When the results came out, Goudan was seen holding the biscuit in his hand without eating it, and said another sentence.
"You eat first. There are some vegetables in it. I'll heat it up for you later."
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
Goudan was a little flattered. When he saw that the other party really gave him the food, he immediately buried his head and started to eat it voraciously.
Gu Chunlan went to the kitchen again to heat up the lunch dishes.
By the time the pancake was heated, Goudan had already finished his meal.
"You eat first!"
When Gu Chunlan saw Lin Xiuzhen boiling water, she went forward to help.
"Mom, you just came back, you should go and have a rest, I'll take care of it."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it, you can rest for a while, is everything okay at home these two days?"
Lin Xiuzhen was also worried that Gu Jiabao at home would become disobedient after she left.
If that’s the case, Lin Xiuzhen will definitely be punished when she comes back this time.
"No, I'm pretty well behaved. I know there's no one at home these days, so I've been very obedient. I go to work every day and even help with housework."
Gu Chunlan couldn't help but smile.
"That's good. I was thinking that if I didn't behave, I would give me a good beating when I got back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Jiabao coming back from outside.
The brother and sister heard that Lin Xiuzhen had returned and sold their third sister, and they also couldn't stand the gossip in the village, so they came back home.
I just didn't expect to hear such words after returning home.
"Mom, I didn't do anything, please don't wrongly accuse me!"
Lin Xiuzhen turned around and saw the brother and sister coming back, then she took out a hairpin from her bag and gave it to Gu Xialin.
"Here, second brother, this is for you."
"Mom? Did you bring me a gift?"
How could Gu Xialin never have thought that she would have a gift?
"Yeah, I bought it on the way." Lin Xiuzhen said casually.
Regardless of whether she bought it on the way or not, Gu Xialin was quite happy anyway.
Gu Jiabao looked at Lin Xiuzhen with sparkling eyes.
Now I am already looking forward to my little gift.
He just stared at her for a long time, and seeing that Lin Xiuzhen didn't seem to have any intention of giving him a gift, he couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Mom? Where is my gift?" Gu Jiabao asked with a look of grievance.
Lin Xiuzhen seemed to have just remembered him.
"Oh, your gift? No, I didn't buy it if it wasn't on my way."
Lin Xiuzhen said this with an innocent look on her face, but Gu Jiabao's defense was really about to break down.
Why do other people in the family get gifts, but I, as a member of the family, don’t get any?
"Mom, it's not fair. You don't have me in your heart, so you don't even bring me a gift."
Lin Xiuzhen just listened, then took out an apple from her pocket, peeled it, and gave a piece to Gu Jiabao.
"Hey~ Don't accuse me of being partial. Look, you still have fruit to eat."
Gu Jiabao didn't dare to have any opinions now.
Thinking that I am the unpopular one in the family, I dare not ask for anything now.
The main concern was that Lin Xiuzhen would come and beat him again.
With a strong desire to survive, he took the apple in his hand and began to eat it with a grunt.
"You have behaved well these past few days, and it's only because your elder sister spoke up for you, otherwise I would have to beat you. Look at what you are like now. Go work in the fields."
Lin Xiuzhen was about to chase the person away after she finished speaking.
Gu Jiabao felt so aggrieved.
"Mom, I just heard that you were back, so I came back to see you."
"By the way, Mom, who is this person?" Gu Xialin looked at Goudan curiously and felt that the boy's eyes were very similar to those of her third and youngest sister.
So the attitude towards Gou Dandan has also improved a lot.
Goudan didn’t understand this emotion and just smiled at Gu Xialin.
Introduce yourself before Lin Xiuzhen.
"My name is Goudan, I, I just came back with my aunt." Goudan was a little embarrassed, and his head was almost buried in his chest.
"Oh~Is that so?" Gu Xialin didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this.
"What about your family?"
"I have no family left. My parents are gone. My uncle wanted to sell me to the mine to work illegally, but I ran away. This is the luggage I stole."
Goudan said with a lonely look.
Seeing him like this, Gu Xialin couldn't help but feel pity for him.
