Chen Xuanxuan felt that she had been getting along very well with Gu Yanzhang in the past few years, so she leaned forward and immediately snuggled into his arms.
"Boss, what do you mean,...you agreed?"
Gu Yanzhang nodded, "Agree! Why not?"
"Now that there is a wall around the house, we can live more peacefully in the house."
"Then, we can plant a few more jujube trees in the yard. When our grandchildren grow up, those jujube trees may be tens of meters tall."
Seeing that Gu Yanzhang really had this plan, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and said, "Then...we will sell those pigs this autumn."
"With the money from selling the pigs, I will return part of it to my family, and use the rest to buy the lowest quality bricks from the Jiang family to build the walls of our houses. Also, we need to plant some thorns on the top of the courtyard wall. We can't let those people sneak in."
Gu Yanzhang heard this, stretched out his hands, and patted Chen Xuanxuan's back gently.
"Don't worry, my wife. I promise to do it properly."
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day for the two new wives, Jiang Huigu and Ma Daya, to return to their parents' home.
Jiang Huigu was also homesick this time. She also felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
The donkey cart slowly arrived in Tongzhen.
With the help of her husband Gu Dazhu, she carefully got off the donkey cart and saw that her grandfather, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, uncles, aunts and their sons were already waiting at the door.
When she saw them, Jiang Huigu's eyes immediately turned red with joy and she cried.
Jiang Huigu's grandfather Jiang Yuquan saw his eldest granddaughter, who was only a few days old, and his face was flushed. Although he was crying, the smile on his mouth was real.
Knowing that she had not been wronged in the Gu family, he touched his white beard happily and nodded heavily, "Don't delay at the door. Come in quickly. Let's have a cup of tea together."
Gu Erzhu, who was standing next to the donkey cart at this time, said loudly, "Brother, I won't delay you and your wife. I also have to take my wife back to my parents' home."
Gu Dazhu heard it and said directly, "Second brother, the auspicious time does not wait for anyone. You should take her back to the Ma family as soon as possible."
As he said that, Gu Dazhu carefully moved the gifts for the return visit on the donkey cart.
There are five salted duck eggs pickled by my mother. Ten pickled cabbage buns made just this morning. There are also a few eggplants and five cucumbers picked by my mother. And half a large pumpkin weighing more than ten pounds.
If you buy these things in town, you still have to spend two or three hundred coins!
These foods are not shabby at all as a return gift.
Things are just as Chen Xuanxuan expected. When Gu Dazhu unloaded these things from the donkey cart one by one, the people of the Jiang family were satisfied with their naked eyes.
Especially those women who save money every day and are busy bargaining with various small merchants.
They know that the Gu family is generous.
When Jiang Yuquan brought the men in the family to entertain Gu Yanzhang alone, the women of the Jiang family quickly pulled Jiang Huigu to a more private compartment.
In the crowded house, Jiang Huigu's mother and sisters-in-law asked anxiously, "Huigu, tell me the truth, after you got married, did your parents-in-law hit you or scold you?" Jiang Huigu shook
her head gently, "Mom, my parents-in-law seem to be pretty good."
"But, I always feel that their family is a little strange..."
Hearing this, several of her sisters-in-law couldn't help but say, "Aunt Hui, how is their family strange?"
Jiang Hui said, "Mother, sisters-in-law, I found out on the first day I got married that the food in the Gu family is particularly good. Every meal is oily and has meaty meat. Not only the men eat well, but also the two sisters-in-law, they are fat. So, I thought at that time that the Gu family really doesn't know how to live."
Jiang Hui's sisters-in-law nodded and said, "Hearing what you said, the Gu family really doesn't know how to live."
"By the way, Huigu, you haven't told us who is the head of the Gu family now? I heard that the Gu family seems to have an old man. It's your great-grandfather, right? What is he like? Is he easy to get along with?"
After hearing this, Jiang Huigu shook her head and said, "I haven't spoken much to my great-grandfather. He has been sleeping outside these days. Three rooms have been built there. They also raise twelve big fat pigs inside."
Hearing that the Gu family raised so many pigs, the shallow-minded person immediately became happy.
"Aunt Hui, you will enjoy a good life in the future!"
"Yes, yes, Aunt Hui, when the Gu family kills the pig in the future, you must ask someone to tell us. Then I can go with my mother to buy a few pounds of cheap pork from you!"
Thinking that the Jiang family and the Gu family have become in-laws, and that buying pork from their family may save tens or even hundreds of coins, those women who always think about how to save money and take advantage of others are all smiling.
But Jiang Huigu's mother stopped smiling and said, "Don't think about these nonsense. My daughter hasn't stood firm yet! What is the situation of the Gu family? My daughter needs to explore it bit by bit."
After saying this, she turned around and began to look at Jiang Huigu seriously, "Huigu, tell me the truth, what is your mother-in-law like?"
As a mother-in-law, Jiang Huigu's mother Huang knew all the ins and outs here.
When her daughters-in-law just came into the family, she gave them a lot of food.
After they were trained to be obedient, she gave them a good life.
Huang judged others by herself.
She didn't believe that her daughter's mother-in-law was really that good!
After hearing this, Jiang Huigu hesitated for a moment, then carefully took out the purse she had placed close to her body.
"Mother, on the first morning of my wedding to Ma, my parents-in-law asked us to have a tea ceremony. This is the gift that my mother-in-law gave to Ma and me..."
Before Huang said anything, Jiang Huigu's sisters-in-law were excited and chattered, "Huigu, your mother-in-law is such a great hand!"
"Is this purse made of silk? And the embroidery on it... It's just like the real thing. I never thought your mother-in-law's craftsmanship would be so good."
Huang saw that the purse was smooth and shiny, as if it was really made of silk. She immediately wiped the sweat off her palms.
