"You can marry whoever you want. Anyway, the money in the family is earned by you men..."

After saying this, Chen Xuanxuan went back to rest.

Seeing his wife with a pale face and weak body resting, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but get angry at his sons.

"How did I teach you normally?"

"Are you blind or what? Don't you see how hard your mother has been in the past few years? She gets up before dawn every morning to make buns. She thinks about us day and night. Otherwise, every time we go out to do business, we can have a hot meal when we go home?"

After saying this, Gu Yanzhang was particularly upset and slapped Gu Erzhu on the head.

"Why did I raise such a fool like you? That's your mother! Your mother is not in good health, so she should take more rest. I didn't say anything, but you have such a big opinion?... You unfilial son, your mother has been thinking about how to find a good wife for you every day..."

When Gu Erzhu heard this, he couldn't help but covered his head and retorted.

"Dad, what do you mean by unfilial son? What happened to me just now? I don't think I said anything..."

"I'm just telling the truth. I just want to marry a good wife, am I wrong?"

Seeing that his second son was fourteen years old and had become an adult, but he didn't understand these basic principles, Gu Yanzhang almost couldn't help but hit him.

Thinking of what his wife always emphasized to him, that hitting or scolding people would not solve the problem, he took a deep breath and said to him patiently, "Don't talk nonsense to me."

"Just tell me directly now, do you think your mother does not work all day long? Do you think your mother is a person who does nothing like everyone else in the village?"

After listening, Gu Erzhu muttered a few words in a low voice, "That's what it is..."

Gu Dazhu, who was sitting nearby, saw his father's face and suddenly turned ashen. The other brothers and sisters were all looking at him in confusion at this moment, so he quickly reached out his hand, blocked his father's fist and said, "Dad, calm down, calm down."

"I'll talk to my second brother about this in detail. Don't worry, he will never say such a thing next time!"

After hearing this, Gu Yanzhang looked at Gu Erzhu deeply, his eyes full of disappointment.

As the saying goes, you can tell a person's character by the age of three.

When he was young, this son was more selfish. Now that he has grown up and is going to get married, he is still the same as before. He only considers himself in everything he does.

He has told him countless times before that his mother is in poor health. If he wants to live a few more years, he must eat well, sleep more, and not work too hard. But he just didn't take it to heart.

His mother just said a few words to him, saying that his requirements for marrying a wife were too high and unrealistic, but he actually wanted to suppress his mother with words...

When he thought about how he would become less and less useful as his father when he got older, would he also be disgusted with him?

Even if he cultivated hundreds of acres of land in one go, working all day and all night, his son might still dislike him and think that he was just a idler at home...

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang waved his hands at his eldest son in a depressed mood, "It's said that the eldest brother is like a father. Dazhu, the affairs of your brothers and sisters will be handed over to you from now on."

"..."

Thinking of his second son's character, Gu Yanzhang also went back to the house in a bad mood and lay down with Chen Xuanxuan.

Seeing that his parents were angry and left, Gu Dazhu couldn't help but raise his hand and gently patted the shoulders of his brothers.

"Second brother, you really shouldn't have said that just now..."

Gu Erzhu retorted unhappily, "Why shouldn't I?"

"I was clearly telling the truth... People in and out of the village say so. Doesn't our mother always say that our family is very poor and can't even afford three meals a day? If that's the case, everyone in our family should cheer up, work hard every day, and make money every day. Mom's health is obviously good, but she just doesn't want to move. She just can't bear to suffer losses and doesn't want to work. Our father is willing to get used to her, but I don't have that idea..."

Gu Dazhu was stunned for a moment when he heard his second brother say such a thing from the heart, then looked into his eyes and asked him, "What do you want to do?"

"..."

Gu Erzhu opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "She is my mother. What can I do with her as a man without a wife and children? In this family, my father is strong and healthy, and we all have to listen to him. I just complain a few words, what else can I do?"

"Now I just want to find a capable wife and let her do more work. Don't let her be like our mother, who always has to eat well and rest..."

Seeing that his second brother said this with a serious look on his face, Gu Dazhu subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Okay...

If he insists on thinking this way, he, as the eldest brother, cannot force him to change his mind.

After all, these words he said may have been what he has been thinking about for a long time in his heart. He

felt that his second brother was a simple person. He hadn't even taken charge of the family yet, but he had already begun to dislike his mother. In front of his father, he even thought that his mother was a lazy person... Gu Dazhu couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

He sincerely felt that his second brother was really stupid.

Who knows what will happen in the days to come.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a month.

In this month, Gu Yanzhang brought his two sons and, with the support of Gu Yu'an, the head of the family, became in-laws with two families in the town.

The two brothers Gu Dazhu and Gu Erzhu personally looked after the daughters of the two families.

Who is willing to marry whom is decided by the two brothers themselves.

Gu Dazhu took a fancy to the daughter of the Jiang family.

He thought that her father was a scholar, and after she married, as long as she gave birth to a few more good sons, his family might be able to change the family status.

As long as the sons become successful, he, as the father, can become a rich man with no worries about food and clothing when he grows up.

Gu Erzhu chose the daughter of the Ma family.

He had heard it with his own ears. The daughter of the Ma family was very hardworking, sensible and filial. She took good care of his brothers. She washed all the clothes and did all the housework. She never said a word.

Most importantly, he had seen her with his own eyes.

Although she was three years older than him, she looked really good.

Especially her curvy figure, which was the kind he had dreamed of...
