Chapter 295: Each One's Own Calculations
At this moment, Gu Liansheng got off the sled.
I saw him coming over here in a hurry, apologizing to my third uncle in a gentle voice.
"Uncle San, please don't bother with her. She's been freezing all the way, so it's inevitable that she's angry..."
"Angry? What? Have I become a place for you to vent your anger?" Third Uncle had a cold face and the atmosphere did not ease at all.
Gu Liansheng froze for a moment, feeling dissatisfied. He just yelled and cursed a few times in front of your door, and the one he cursed was that bastard Lao Er. What's the point of making a fuss about it!
You are the elder!
Anger was rising in his heart, and Gu Liansheng tugged at Gu Zhier: "Just be at peace. Big brother is not as cruel and conscienceless as some people. I just want you to serve your parents for a few days. Big brother will not treat you unfairly..."
These words made Gu Zhier's heart move. Is what her elder brother said true or false?
If she could get some benefits and bring them back to the Wang family, her mother-in-law would not punish her again just for the sake of the benefits.
"Brother, are you kidding me?"
"Why is Big Brother trying to coax you? Even if Big Brother lets a little slip through his fingers, it's enough for you to take back the Wang family's Zhang Yang!"
This may sound a bit arrogant, but it is actually true. Gu Liansheng has never lacked money in the past years.
Gu Zhier also thought about the past, and the anger in her heart dissipated.
If my eldest brother is really willing to let go, I can come here today and stay at my parents' home for a while, and I can also get some benefits to bring back to my husband's home to make myself proud. This is the best of both worlds.
For a moment, Gu Zhier stopped making a fuss, sat on the sled, and called out to Gu Liansheng to get on quickly so that they could go home quickly.
Gu Liansheng climbed onto the sled quickly without saying a word.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his third uncle would tell everyone that he had married Qian.
If Gu Zhier knew about this, she would probably make a scene on the spot.
He had already married, and in the twelfth lunar month, he braved the heavy snow to bring her back to serve his parents. With Gu Zhier's temper, she would definitely make a fuss.
He didn't want to embarrass this person in front of outsiders, especially his third uncle, so he decided to wait until he returned home to tell Gu Zhier the truth.
After the brother and sister sat down, Li Shunzi cursed them inwardly, and trembling all over, he pulled the ox cart to the end of the village.
Not long after the three of them left, Gu Tang came hurriedly from the west wing, with the corner of her clothes still sticking up. She stood up and put on her clothes.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, her third uncle had already closed the door.
"The person is gone?" Gu Tang was stunned for a moment.
Just now, Agou said that someone was scolding her father outside, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and came over. It had only been such a short time, and the person was gone?
"It's your aunt, Gu Zhier. Your cousin brought her here. I don't know what he said to her, but as soon as she entered the village, she came to our door and started cursing. His words all seemed to indicate that he wanted your father to go back and take care of the old couple."
"What are you daydreaming about? Why isn't she happy to death?" Gu Tang sneered. Another idiot being used as a gun!
"She seems to be unaware that your cousin has married. Your cousin left in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to tell her."
Gu Tang raised an eyebrow: "Could he have deceived my aunt? It's already the twelfth lunar month. Which daughter-in-law would come to her parents' home during this month? Unless there is a compelling reason to come."
"Eighty percent likely. If that's the case, I'm afraid the brother and sister will quarrel when they get home..."
Third Uncle guessed half right.
After returning home, Gu Liansheng and Gu Zhier saw Li Shunzi off. Then, the brother and sister went directly to the west room of the main hall to report their safety to Feng and Old Man Gu.
Now Feng was unable to speak. After seeing her daughter, she could only cry with red eyes.
Mr. Gu could speak and his hands could move, but his legs were useless and completely unresponsive.
When he saw his daughter, he quickly supported himself with his elbows, and his eyes also turned red.
"You are so heartless. You haven't even thought of coming to see me since you went back for so long. Your mother's illness has worsened and she can't even speak. Your father is also paralyzed in bed. I don't know if he can make it through the New Year. Wuwuwu..."
At this point, Mr. Gu actually started crying.
Gu Zhier was instantly panicked.
His father was such a proud man, but now he started crying.
"Stop crying! It's hurting yourself! If your condition gets worse, you're going to tear my heart out.
On the way here, I heard from my elder brother, don't worry, your daughter is here and will take good care of you."
After hearing this, Mr. Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
He wanted to say a few more private words to his daughter, but his son kept winking at him, signaling him to shut up.
Old Mr. Gu was confused, and then he saw his son sending his daughter away.
"Zhi'er, you just arrived today, so you won't be on guard at night. If Mom and Dad need anything, they'll call you.
You can sleep in the east room tonight. It's already cleaned. Go open mother's cupboard and get a quilt and spread it on the bed.
"Oh! I'll clean it up right away." Gu Zhier responded and turned to go out.
Before Gu Liansheng could finish, he hurriedly called the person over and said, "You don't need to come over after you've cleaned up. Just take off your clothes and go to bed. If your parents need to call you in the middle of the night, you'll be able to handle it."
These words made Gu Zhier feel much better.
After Gu Zhier left, Gu Liansheng closed the door.
Then he whispered to his father: "I haven't told Zhi'er about Qian's marriage yet. Don't mention it for now. I will tell Zhi'er in person tomorrow..."
"Why is that?" Old Master Gu was puzzled. Wouldn't it be the same whether he told it sooner or later?
"Don't you know Zhi'er's temper? If you knew that your son had married Qian, you would definitely force Qian to serve you two elders.
It just so happens that Qian's temper is not good either. If these two sisters-in-law clash with each other, who knows what will happen!
My son has been running around for half a day and is cold and tired. He just wants to have a good sleep and we can deal with everything tomorrow!"
Old Master Gu paused, looked at his son's face, and confirmed that he really looked tired, so he had to agree to it.
"Dad has made a note of it. Don't worry, I won't let those two quarrel today."
Now that Gu Liansheng really invited Gu Zhier, the resentment in Old Man Gu's heart also dissipated.
It's very easy to talk to him now.
After giving these instructions, Gu Liansheng hurried back to the east wing and told Qian not to leave the house tonight and not to make any noise, and not to let Gu Zhier find out.
Qian didn't care: "What if she finds out? Can she still eat me?"
"...She can't eat you, but she will make the whole village know about it."
Qian was stunned. The whole village knew about this incident? Such a commotion?
Gu Liansheng: "If this really gets out to the whole village, how can you look good?"
Not good looking...
We are all family, no matter who makes the trouble, no one will look good.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say. Just be quiet tonight."
After hearing Qian's agreement, Gu Liansheng felt relieved.
Then he lay down on the bed, wanting to go to sleep early.
At this moment, Gu Zhier's voice came from outside the door: "Brother, Dad said that he and Mom haven't eaten yet. I'm going to the kitchen to cook for them. Do you want to join us for some?"
Gu Zhier's sudden noise almost scared Gu Liansheng to death!
He held his chest and sat up. After a moment's rest, he called out, "We had a full meal at Wang's earlier, so we won't eat anymore. Just cook some porridge. Dad and Mom can only eat porridge now. Anything else is hard for them to digest."
"well!"
Soon footsteps were heard and gradually faded away.
After the footsteps disappeared, Gu Liansheng glared at Qian: "You didn't cook dinner?"
Qian paused, subconsciously looked away, and began to lie, "I don't know where the food is at home, so I went to ask my father, but he ignored me.
There is no rice here, how can you let me cook? I am also hungry and have nothing to eat. You only care about your parents, why don’t you care about me? "
Gu Liansheng's expression softened. "All the food in the house is in the east wing. Dad has the key. If he doesn't tell you, you won't be able to find the food."
Old immortal!
Qian cursed inwardly.
A paralytic actually controls the family's food?
That won’t do!
Now that she's married into the family, the key should be given to her for safekeeping!
"I'll bring you a bowl of rice after my younger sister finishes cooking. I can't let you go to bed hungry." Gu Liansheng said, thinking he was very considerate.
Qian rolled her eyes secretly, who cares about your simple food!
Yes, she didn't find any food, but there was a piece of meat left over from the banquet in the kitchen, not much, about two pounds.
Qian took a knife and cut up all the meat, stir-fried it with radish, and finally ate it all by herself.
In order to prevent Gu Liansheng from finding out, she carefully cleaned the pots and pans after dinner to ensure that Gu Liansheng would not find out.
After eating and drinking, she went straight back to the east wing.
As for Mr. Gu in the west room of the main hall, he couldn't hold on any longer and started to cry out for hunger.
He kept calling Qian, asking her to get some rice and cook, as he was so hungry that he could not bear it anymore.
Qian heard it, but ignored it, pretending not to hear it. She didn't even show up, and continued to starve to death by Mr. Gu and Feng.
Just now, Gu Liansheng came back and went straight to the main hall. She was worried that the old man would complain, but now it seems that the old man did not complain.
Did I forget or was it too late?
"I'll take a nap first. Call me later so I can bring you food." Gu Liansheng was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and spoke in a daze.
Qian refused with a fake smile: "It doesn't matter if I eat or not tonight. You've been running around for half a day, so if you want to sleep, just go ahead. It's okay for me to skip a meal."
Gu Liansheng didn't know whether he heard this or not. As soon as Qian finished speaking, he started snoring.
Qian had a look of disgust on her face, and felt a little regretful in her heart that she shouldn't have married herself in such a hurry.
…
Agou was making buns. His hands were very dexterous. He took a piece of dough and a piece of meat filling, pinched and turned them with his hands, and soon, a bun with eighteen folds was completed.
Gu Tang felt itchy and took a piece of dough. He put some meat filling on it and started kneading it, just like Agou did.
She focused her hands on the upper and lower parts, and the left and right parts, but after a lot of random efforts, she failed to make the pinch.
The final product was an ugly round lump of dough with the meat filling spilled out.
Even this Ah Gou praised her: "The appearance of the buns is not important, the most important thing is that the filling is thick and the skin is thin, this is good."
Gu Tang: ...She's not a three-year-old kid! She knows her own craftsmanship very well, whether it's good or bad.
With such compliments, does she still have any shame?
Well, although she is often shameless, sometimes she still has some dignity!
Throwing down the bun in her hand, Gu Tang decided not to embarrass herself here. She would just go back to the house and wait for food.
After watching Ping'an and playing with the puppy in the main room and waiting patiently for about three quarters of an hour, Agou's buns were finally out of the pot.
Two full baskets of buns were brought into the main room, and Agou also fried some pickles to help relieve the greasiness.
The bun was very big. Gu Tang stretched out his hand to compare it and found it was almost as big as his palm.
The mutton filling only contains green onions, which tastes extremely delicious without any smell of mutton.
The mutton used should be the mutton of short-legged sheep.
Gu Tang was full after eating just one. It wasn’t because she had a small appetite, but because she wasn’t hungry at the moment.
After returning from Gu Liansheng's place in the afternoon, she ate a full bowl of noodle soup. It had only been a short time, so she was not very hungry at this time.
Third uncle only ate one, but Gu Ping'an was amazing and ate three in one go.
As for Agou, his stomach is like a glutton. Two baskets of buns, if you take away five, the rest are still full, so there is not much difference.
He left five buns for Gu Lianshan and placed them on a separate plate, and he ate all the rest.
Gu Tang and Gu Pingan sat opposite Agou and watched as if they were watching a food show——
The dinner of the handsome nobleman in ancient costume—two baskets of big buns!
After Agou finished eating, Gu Ping'an couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, his eyes full of envy and admiration.
This is something that is rarely seen.
After watching Agou’s eating show, Gu Tang washed up and went back to his room to sleep.
Third Uncle, Gu Ping'an and Agou were still sitting in the main hall.
Gu Lianshan hasn't come back yet, I don't know what's going on over there.
After taking a nap during the day, Gu Tang thought he would not be able to sleep at night, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep in less than quarter of an hour after he touched the pillow.
She had originally wanted to wait for her father to come back and ask about the situation.
In the end, instead of waiting for the person, he fell asleep while waiting.
He is truly a sleep god!
The next day, Gu Tang, who had had a good sleep, got up early, which was a rare occasion. After washing up, the first thing she did was to go find her father.
The snow stopped today. Although the sky did not clear up, it was much brighter and no longer dark. This is a good sign.
She was in a good mood and hummed a little tune as she went to the main hall to look for someone, only to find that her third uncle and her father were not there.
After coming out of the main hall, he searched the east and west wings, but Agou and Gu Ping'an were not there either.
Gu Tang looked puzzled. Why were no one here?
She glanced towards the gate of the courtyard. The gate was locked from inside the courtyard, which meant that there should be someone else in the courtyard besides her.
He glanced towards the backyard and turned to go there.
When he arrived at the backyard, Gu Tang finally found the person.
Agou and Gu Ping'an were standing at the chicken coop, holding bowls filled with millet. From time to time, they would throw a handful of millet into the chickens, and kept saying that this one was big and that one was small.
Gu Tang didn't understand what they were doing.
He walked up to her and asked, "What are you comparing the size of? Are you comparing your cocks? Do you two have nothing better to do?"
Gu Tang's sudden appearance scared Gu Ping'an!
"Second sister! When did you come here? Why are you walking without making any sound?"
