Thinking of this, Gu Sang's face darkened again.
"Sangsang, what are you thinking about?"
When the older child walked in, he saw his younger sister frowning and staring blankly.
"It's nothing. My second uncle and aunt came to see us with some things. They said they wanted to bring us some food. I was just thinking about how to refuse when you came in!" Gu Sang smiled slightly at Da Wa.
"Are you out of your mind? Why won't you agree?" The eldest sister glared at her older sister and then said, "Our second uncle and aunt are already here, what are you being so coy about? Aren't you just making them look down on us?"
"It's just some eggs, we don't need to be polite, just take them."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen.
The eldest child pouted, then followed Gu Sang inside.
......
Gu Yinggui and Xie Shi had already returned home. Because they had bought a lot of eggs today, Gu Yinggui was in a hurry when they came back. Xie Shi didn't ask any questions, but quickly followed behind Gu Changgeng.
After the two arrived home, Xie went to cook.
Gu Yinggui threw all his things in the yard, sighed, and lingered in melancholy for a long time before finally going back inside to take a nap.
Both of them were too lazy to move, so they didn't even need to cook lunch.
Ever since Gu Sang was buried alive, they felt that this girl had changed.
The changes are not minor.
Today's Gu Sang is even more ruthless and vicious than Gu Yingfu; even Gu Dekang can't control her.
Gu Yinggui also felt that he could only be obedient in front of her.
"If things continue like this, how can we possibly make a living?"
Gu Yinggui had no idea what to expect.
Gu Yinggui slept very restlessly that night.
The next day, Gu Sang got up very late, not until noon. After she finished washing up, she saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao sitting in the yard, talking.
"What are you two talking about so early in the morning?"
Da Bao and Xiao Bao exchanged a glance after hearing this.
"Second sister, those things that second uncle and aunt brought to our house yesterday..."
Gu Sang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Oh? You all know? Is there something you need?"
"Ah... They came again this morning. My second uncle and aunt also brought over the pigs, chickens and ducks they raise at home."
Gu Sang raised an eyebrow upon hearing Da Bao's words.
"Oh? They really know how to spend money."
Gu Sang was telling the truth. Apart from some eggs, the rest of what they brought home was pig feed. Moreover, the pig feed cost ten coins per pound, which meant five coins per pound, and it was indeed quite expensive.
“Isn’t that right?” Da Bao said, “They also said that their family is having some financial difficulties right now, so this little bit of money is nothing.”
"Hehehe." Gu Sang sneered, "Those two are really good at talking. But I'll take the money, just don't let it slip."
"Okay."
Gu Sang nodded with a smile.
After eating, Gu Sang went to the village.
At the Gu family's pig farm, besides the piglets, there are now chickens, ducks, and geese. And there are quite a few of them now, a good seventy or eighty. That means they'll produce about twenty-odd jin (40 kg) a month.
By this time, the Gu family had already planted a considerable amount of land, although it hadn't been cleared yet, but Gu Sang didn't mind. After all, they had quite a lot of land.
Gu Sang went to the farmhouses and asked around. She learned that the foundations of the nearby land had been basically laid, and only the dirt roads needed to be repaired.
"Look at this matter, do you want to talk to me about it? This can't be delayed! I'm counting on you!"
The land belonging to the third branch of the Gu family had long been planted with crops; after all, the family needed to survive. If they didn't farm, they would simply starve to death.
When the villagers saw Gu Sanglai, they pleaded with him not to let them leave, asking for more time so that the road could be repaired.
Gu Sang frowned as she looked at the matter, but then she thought about it again. Farmers have it tough too, and if this matter could be resolved, it would be a good thing for them.
If this land can be developed, then the Gu family's villagers will be able to completely escape poverty and no longer have to worry about going hungry, which is what Gu Sang hopes to see.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask, see if there's anything I need to be careful about," Gu Sang replied, and then left.
Back home, Gu Sang told Li about what had happened.
"Mom, I don't think Uncle and Auntie will let this go so easily. I suspect they'll do something else. Our family can't afford any trouble right now, or we won't be able to live like this in the future!"
Gu Chunya frowned upon hearing this.
"From what I can tell, that uncle and aunt don't seem to want us to have meat in our family; on the contrary..."
"On the contrary, what is it?"
"On the contrary, they want the grain we have at home," Gu Sang said with certainty. "Otherwise, the aunt wouldn't have come over specifically to ask for our chickens, ducks, and geese. She just wants our things."
"This is not a good thing! Mother, you know, they are getting more and more demanding now, and our family is broke right now!"
"They just want our land? They want to take advantage of us. What kind of advantage do they think they can get?" Gu Sang said angrily.
All the land owned by the Gu family belongs to the Gu family.
The land belonging to the Third Branch was originally given to Li and Gu Sang when it was barren. Now that the land has been developed, it is being coveted by the family.
“Your aunt’s meaning is very simple, she just wants our family’s land.” Li’s tone was also helpless. “But your second uncle and aunt didn’t say whether they wanted our family’s land or our other property. Your second uncle said that our family’s fields are our family’s ancestral property, so we have to hand them over before they are willing to give them to your second uncle and aunt.”
"I understand." Gu Sang took a deep breath upon hearing this.
"Since they're like this, then I'll have to give them a good lesson." Gu Sang narrowed her eyes, revealing a sinister look. "I don't believe that our family really can't produce that many things."
The two plots of land that belonged to the Gu family now belong to the third branch of the Gu family and Li Shi.
Therefore, both plots of land now belong to Gu Sang.
"Sangsang, we'd better be careful. After all, they're still working in town right now," Li said with some concern.
In this era, wealthy and powerful families would not let their children do manual labor, but would send them to school to learn to read and write.
"I know, Mother, don't worry, I'm already prepared." Gu Sang smiled and patted Li's hand.
