Chapter 71 Homecoming
Before Xu Qingmeng left, he thought of something. The book seemed to mention He's identity. He suddenly turned around and said, "The matter of Er Laizi may be related to my mother."
After saying that, she walked out, leaving him to investigate the rest himself.
Gu Yunyi's face suddenly turned dark.
When Gu Hongxin was alive, he once talked to Gu Yunyi about how he picked up He on the roadside. At that time, he wanted to send her home, but He had lost her memory. She had no idea where her home was or what her name was.
In the end, Gu Hongxin had no choice but to bring her back home and spent money to buy her her current identity. Then, naturally, the two got married, and their relationship became better and better, until now.
But Gu Hongxin had been looking for He's ex-boyfriend. Later, when Gu Yunyi grew up, Gu Hongxin did not hide it from him and told him about his mother.
In fact, Gu Yunyi had also secretly searched for his mother, but he only found a few clues, that is, his mother, He, was originally from the capital, and he could not find out anything else.
Gu Yunyi actually thought about it. He must have been the daughter of a wealthy family in the past, otherwise there would not be no clues. Now he is nothing, and he must climb up to find out more of the truth.
There was a sign at the Gu's restaurant saying it was temporarily closed. The next morning, many people who came to buy breakfast saw that the Gu's restaurant was still closed and started talking about it. Then someone who had witnessed what happened yesterday told others about it, and everyone understood.
However, the incident in which Er Laizi deliberately retaliated against Gu's restaurant and injured someone in broad daylight immediately became a hot topic among people.
Those who were on good terms with the Gu family and who had just learned about this came to visit and comfort He.
But there were also those who were at odds with the Gu family, such as the one who ran the steamed bun shop, who also owned a restaurant like the Gu family. They all said with a smile, "This is retribution, they deserve it!"
While He was dealing with all this at home, Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng were driving a carriage to Xujia Village.
In fact, this was the first time for both Xu Qingmeng who traveled through time and space, and Gu Yunyi who married Xu Qingmeng, to return to their parents' home.
Xu Qingmeng bought two big fish, two sets of clothes, shoes, and socks for Xu's father. She also prepared some fine cotton cloth, two large pieces in total, which could be used to make clothes for her nephews and nieces at home. She also prepared a lot of cakes.
On the way, Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi talked about the population of the Xu family.
"My eldest and second brothers got married early, and my third brother got married late. I am the youngest in the family. Xun'er is the eldest son of my eldest brother, and he also has Xinwan. My eldest brother is upright, and my eldest sister-in-law is also a kind person." Gu Yunyi nodded.
"The eldest in my second brother's family is Xinting, and then there's Baoli. My second sister-in-law is... strong-willed, has some patriarchal ideas, and is even a little greedy. Anyway, we should avoid her if we can."
Gu Yunyi understood a little from these few words.
"There is only one Xinyi in the Third Brother's family, and the Third Sister-in-law is also very kind."
The people in Xujia Village are generally not wealthy and few of them have horse-drawn carriages. Only during the Chinese New Year, a few girls who were married elsewhere would come back in horse-drawn carriages, but even so, many people would talk about it with relish.
But today was not a festival or New Year's Day, and an ordinary horse-drawn carriage entered Xujia Village and became the object of everyone's attention.
The driver didn't know where the Xu family lived, so Xu Qingmeng came out and sat on the shaft with him to show him the way.
After walking for a while, they saw a few children standing barefoot not far away playing in the mud. When one of them stood up from the mud, Xu Qingmeng found that it was Xinyi from his third brother's family. Looking at the girl, she was just like what his father said, a tomboy.
"Xinyi!" Xu Qingmeng shouted while sitting in the carriage.
She looked towards the carriage and saw Xu Qingmeng sitting there in a moon-white gown, just like a fairy sister.
Everyone in the Xu family is very good-looking. In the past, it was just that Xu Qingmeng was too fat, and many neighbors said that Xu Qingmeng was not from the Xu family.
The slim Xu Qingmeng has maintained the fine traditions of the Xu family. She is truly a beauty, and she is so dignified and confident that people can't take their eyes off her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made Mr. Lin Yichen fall in love with her at first sight.
Xu Qing dreamed that she was standing there in a daze, and then he remembered that he was completely different from what he is now. Now that he has lost weight, only his father Xu and his elder and second brothers have seen him.
"Xinyi, I'm your aunt!" Xu Qingmeng shouted, waving her hand.
Xinyi blinked her eyes, and it took her a long time to react. She subconsciously shook her head and said, "Impossible, you are not my aunt. You look like a fairy. My aunt is very fat, but she is not as pretty and gentle as you."
Xu Qingmeng was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "You rascal, can't you give your aunt some face outside?"
"Oh, that's not right. Why do you call me the same way as my aunt?" Xinyi tilted her head and looked at Xu Qingmeng with a puzzled look, her eyes flashing with curiosity and confusion.
Seeing this, Xu Qingmeng had no choice but to get off the carriage, walked towards her, and then pulled her ear: "Why, I can't be too gentle with you, do you really want me to do this?"
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, I believe it, you are really my aunt!" Because whenever she was naughty, her aunt would pull her ears like this.
"Now I believe it. Look at what's happened to you. Can't you learn from Xinwan?" Xu Qingmeng was helpless.
"Aunt, what's so good about my elder sister? She just stays at home embroidering and never goes out to play. Besides, I'm still young!"
"You are still young, and you only know how to play all day. What will you do when you grow up? Come on, go up and sit down."
Xinyi was delighted at first, but then she saw Gu Yunyi sitting in the car, lowered her head to look at the mud all over her body, and said a little embarrassedly, "We are almost home, I won't sit in the car anymore."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Now you know how to hide. You can sit on the shaft of the cart and show this old man the way."
Xinyi was laughing so happily that her two little legs were swinging outside the shaft of the cart, she was so happy.
Especially when she saw the friends across from her were looking at her with envy, she waved her hands proudly and said, "My aunt is back. I'm going home. I'll play with you guys tomorrow."
That look made all the friends want to beat her up. After all, they were from the same village, and almost all of them knew that the little girl of the Xu family was as fat as a pig, so how could she be so pretty.
After she finished showing off, Xinyi asked, "Aunt, why are you back now? Is that uncle inside? Grandpa came back earlier and said that uncle got first place in the exam and will definitely become an official in the future. He praised uncle to everyone he met."
"Also, little aunt, how come you've become so thin and so gentle? I'm not used to it. And brother Xun and sister Wan went to your house, didn't they come back together this time?"
Xu Qingmeng answered all her questions patiently, saying that Xun Ge'er had not come back due to some matters, and that she had brought some snacks and candies, and asked her to go out and share them with her friends later.
