Chapter 68
Chapter 68 Talking about Family Separation

"Really? My little treasure is a boy in front of the gods! Otherwise, why do the gods always come to find Xiaobao? Girl, this matter can't be spread outside." Lu Shi was a little worried that Gu Wan would speak freely outside , Said it was a slip of the tongue.

"Mother, I can tell the seriousness, of course I won't talk nonsense! But Xiaobao is so young, I don't know if she will go out to show off!" Gu Wan was a little dissatisfied that her mother didn't believe her, and she always told her to tell her.

"If the second sister talks nonsense, the good things will not be given to the second sister." Gu Chengyuzi took out the jewelry that had just been put in from the space, and put it on the table.

Gu Wan has long been attracted by the things wrapped in red cloth.

"Mom, look at this? Dad bought it for you!" Gu Chengyu picked up the wooden box with the hairpin in it. The outside of the wooden box was only painted with a layer of brown paint. When he opened it, he found that the inside was covered with a layer of cotton cloth. , the hairpin lay quietly in the wooden box.

"Hey! Xiaobao and I bought it for you. You can try it on? It must look good." Father Gu is not that stupid, saying that it was Xiaobao who picked it.

"Why waste that money? Do you need a lot of money?" Lu said it was a waste, but the joy in his eyes was overflowing. He hadn't worn a silver hairpin for many years, and it was his little treasure. As a matter of fact, he inserted the hairpin obliquely on his head, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's not expensive, it's only four taels of silver. It's good for you to wear it." Gu Lao looked at Lu Shi wearing the hairpin, and he was also full of emotions. The young woman in the clothes, time flies so fast, 15 years have passed in a flash, Lu Shi is still so good-looking, she doesn't look old at all, but he is old.

"So expensive?"

"Ah! It's so pretty, did you really buy this for me?" Gu Wan over there looked at the shrimp whisker bracelet in the red cloth, her eyebrows and eyes curled up in joy.She finally had a piece of silver jewelry, and she couldn't wait to put the bracelet on her wrist, looking left and right, she liked it no matter what.

Papa Gu stopped remembering when Gu Wan called out.Mrs. Lu also pulled out the hairpin from her head and put it back into the box.

"Mom, why take it off? Just wear it!" Gu Chengyu felt a little strange.

"It's not yet time, girl, give me the bracelet, I'll put it away for you, and wear it in two days." As Lu said, he was about to step forward and confiscate Gu Wan's bracelet.

"Mother! Why can't I wear it now? I won't. If you give it to me, it's mine." Gu Wan finally got a pair of silver bracelets, but her mother wouldn't let her wear them. no?

"Mother, forget it! Since the second sister likes it, let her wear it!" His second sister is still a child at heart!

"By the way, mother, I still have four beaded flowers and five red-headed strings for my nieces. The second sister has a pair of bracelets, so I'll just take a red-headed string and buy them for you later. .The rest are given to my nieces by my uncle.”

"Why do they need these things? You're just wasting money. You spent a lot this time, right? The general didn't have time to count." Lu Shi heard that those girls also had movies, and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Mother, in fact, they bought bracelets and hairpins as gifts, without spending any money. Besides, in the future, the family will earn more and more money, so there is no need to feel sorry for the little money." Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, and hoped that Lu would be right The grandchildren born in the front are very difficult, and since they are all girls, it is estimated that they will be even more disrespectful, so he can only find a way to make up for it.

"Mother, look, you and the second sister both have jewelry, if they don't have any, won't they be arguing again? What's more, it doesn't cost any money!"

"Huh! What's the matter? I'm afraid they won't do it? Giving it to them is a waste, do they still think about us, okay? I'm not their mother-in-law, maybe they hate me in their hearts! This is a group of white-eyed wolves "When Lu mentioned this, she became angry. Back then, she was also a beautiful young woman, but she didn't want to be with a widower with a few children. Is this what she wanted?

"Mother, after all, I am also an elder, so I have to take care of the big picture? Mother, when will we have dinner? I'm already hungry." Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, his mother's thoughts can't be changed in a day or two of.

"Ouch! I forgot, but I haven't had lunch yet. I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." Mrs. Lu put the silver hairpin from her head back into the box, and put the box in a small cabinet of Kangqin.

"Wanwan, since you don't want to let your mother take care of the bracelet, you have to hide it yourself. Anyway, you are not allowed to take it tonight, so as not to make the person with shallow eyelids stare at you. Let everything be straightened out today. I don't care if you want to take me with you tomorrow." Lu Shi thought for a while and turned to Gu Wan.

"Got it! Mother!" Seeing that the bracelet doesn't need to be confiscated, Gu Wan happily took the bracelet and prepared to go back to her room.

"Girl, your younger brother picked this one for you! It's so bad that he doesn't like it. This bracelet is almost three taels, but it costs three taels of silver to buy it! Your mother's one is beautiful in design, but it's just better than yours. It’s just a little heavier, this bracelet is not too small, if you are a father, you probably won’t be able to part with it.” Father Gu said the truth, no matter how much he loves his daughter, he will be a family member from now on, so he will eat well and dress well, so that he can make up something decent in the future It must be said that there is no division of family property. His family is not a rich family, and the rich cannot afford it. With that money, it is better to add more land, and leave it to the son to carry on the family.

Gu Chengyu saw Gu Wan stop her steps to enter the house, and looked back at him, with mist in her eyes, she suddenly grinned, "Thank you? Anyway, it's the second sister's dowry."

"Oh! Do you know why the dowry is not a dowry, you little boy? It's so embarrassing!" Gu Wan stomped her foot in embarrassment and ran back to the room.

Sitting on the kang by the window, he rubbed the silver bracelet in his hand, looked at it for a while, then picked up the red cloth to wrap it again, and put it in the innermost wooden box next to the clothes.

"Father, what are you planning? Don't you plan to tell the second brother?" Seeing that the main house was empty, Gu Chengyu wanted to take the opportunity to ask his father.

Old man Gu didn't speak, he picked up the cigarette stick on his waist and took a puff, Old man Gu frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, Father Gu opened his mouth: "Xiaobao, father knows that you are precocious, and actually understands everything, your second brother? You also know how he is. Father is not afraid that he will make a fool of himself, but that he will make a detour in the future. It dragged you down and made the whole Gu family implicated. Tonight's dinner, Dad just wanted to test him to see what he thinks? Even if he wants to live his own little life, Dad won't stop him. The money he should give is a penny There will be no less of him."

"Dad mean that the second brother wants to separate?" Gu Chengyu has actually seen the second brother's thoughts for a long time. If nothing else, it can be seen from the fact that the second brother wants to go to the county with them to sell honeysuckle. The second brother didn't believe in his father either.Later, when he was rejected by his father, the second brother's complexion was not good, and he might also feel that his father was suspicious of him.In short, these two people are now suspicious of each other.
