When Gu Wenxuan heard Zhou Banxia mention that the young masters of these two families seemed to be friends with him, he didn't even need to stand up to get the gift list to check the names of the people.

The landlord's son was not trying to build a relationship with them. They had lived in the same county for generations, so they could be considered relatives.

The grandson of his eldest aunt's mother-in-law's sister married the maternal cousin of the landlord's eldest son, and the child born to this maternal cousin married into his eldest aunt's in-laws' family.

Are they relatives?
Zhou Banxia fell down laughing.

Is that fun?

There is an even more ridiculous layer of relationship, which he hasn't had time to talk about yet. The other party's maternal family is the husband's family of Ma Dagu's eldest daughter.

Otherwise, how would he know about such a complicated relationship? It was because he met the other party at the banquet on the day of Ma Dazhuang’s 50th birthday.

Then?

The other party then bowed and said bluntly, "Excuse me, excuse me, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple - family members don't recognize each other as family members." Then the one who raised his glass to apologize just drank one glass.

He also drank a glass of tea instead of wine. At the banquet, everyone was calling each other brothers and having a great time. It was not just a friendship, but they even brought gifts for the holidays.

When his family comes to give gifts during festivals, we return the gifts. After a while, we develop interactions and become better than relatives than relatives. It's a very normal social etiquette.

After hearing this, Zhou Banxia shook his head and laughed. Before he could even sigh, "A rich man living in remote mountains has distant relatives, a poor man living nearby has no close neighbors," the human-shaped alarm clock rang.

Mai Huang deliberately raised his voice outside and stepped into the small hall with heavier footsteps, reminding Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia who were in the inner room to come out for lunch.

Zhou Banxia was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed silently. She didn't even need to say a word. The most important thing in the world was eating. Gu Wenxuan immediately picked her up and put her on the ground.

I said it wouldn’t feel hot if I hugged it!
Wash your face and hands.

The food was also served in the small hall.

At noon today, only the couple and Gu Baoya were at home. In order to make it convenient for Zhou Banxia to eat, Gu Baoya also came to the small hall in the west wing to have dinner with Zhou Banxia.

No one in the Gu family, including the young Changsuo, likes the habit of having maids serve them and set the dishes when they have meals at home.

Mai Huang and Xier were asked to have lunch with Gu Dahua's family and others. The three brothers and sisters, aunts and sisters-in-law, were chatting while eating. Before they finished eating and put down their chopsticks, Zhou Daya came.

Without waiting for the doorman to report to the inner courtyard manager according to the rules, and then for Gu Dahua's family to send a maid or a old woman into the inner courtyard to report, Zhou Daya rushed in hurriedly.

Of course, in Ma Shan’s words, Zhou Daya is not an outsider.

Among the limited number of people who can freely enter and exit the inner courtyard of the Gu family, Zhou Daya is one of them, and she is ranked in the top five. The doorman dare not stop this aunt-in-law.

He asked Xier to go to the kitchen to have lunch first, while Mai Huang, who was waiting in the corridor outside the small hall, followed Zhou Daya in as if nothing had happened, got a jin towel, put it in water, wrung it dry and handed it to her.

He handed over a fan with one hand and took a handkerchief with the other, which made Zhou Daya stop talking for a moment no matter how much she wanted to say.

When Xi'er brought a set of bowls and chopsticks and set the table, Zhou Daya, who was respectfully invited by Mai Huang to take a seat, rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "I think you are almost there."

Gu Wenxuan tried his best to hold back his laughter and put down his chopsticks. He nodded and greeted his sister-in-law who had finally come back to her senses, said goodbye, and left the small hall.

"Did your brother-in-law's family say something?" Zhou Daya moved her chair and moved closer to Zhou Banxia. "No." Zhou Banxia pointed at the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, "Pick up your chopsticks first, and then listen to me slowly. You don't have to get up. There's nothing you don't want to hear."

Zhou Banxia said the following words facing Gu Baoya, who sat down quickly, picked up the small spoon in the soup bowl, and drank her after-meal soup in small sips.

She assured her Gu family ancestors that she was not curious to hear anything. She just put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal and didn't drink a sip of soup because she felt very thirsty.

"Did your brother-in-law go back and tell you?" Zhou Banxia didn't want Zhou Daya to reply, and continued, "First, it doesn't matter what anyone says.

At least I haven't heard anyone from my in-laws' side say anything yet. If they did, it was just to praise how good my parents and my eldest brother and sister-in-law are.

What Liu Lang and his husband said before were not just ideas that my husband and I came up with. I don’t need to lie to you in front of Baoya.”

Gu Baoya: Should I say something?
"Secondly, I had promised Uncle Gu before, and my father also knows about it. I know exactly what to do, so don't worry about it.

The reason why Brother Liulang mentioned this to my brother-in-law today is that you are closer to us. If there is any good thing, you will definitely be given priority, and you will definitely be the one to choose.

Thirdly, if you want to move, now is the right time. Of course, you will miss the opportunity and there will always be opportunities in the future.

It's okay to wait, and it's okay to make a decision now, so Brother Liulang said there's no rush. But you came here now, have you made a decision or do you want to talk to me?"

"Both." Zhou Daya replied vaguely, swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, and took a big sip of soup. "I almost starved to death, but fortunately I recovered."

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the lunch break in the cafeteria to go and chat with our father with your brother-in-law so as not to delay work, but your brother-in-law told me not to agree to you.

Why do you need to discuss this with dad? Just ask your brother-in-law to go to the canteen and watch over the food while you eat. I'll come to your place first and I have to go back in two quarters of an hour.

To make a long story short, your brother-in-law told me that he couldn't agree to it, so let's not talk about it anymore. Just let you take care of the baby and give birth to it.

When the baby is born and you are free, if he wants to do something and you two don’t agree, he will tie you up and make trouble for you, hahahaha…”

Hearing this, even Gu Baoya couldn't help but laugh. Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to think about it for another two days?"

"What are you still considering?" Zhou Daya refused abruptly, "But you, have you calculated it? If the yield of sweet potatoes per acre is 500 kilograms, how much can you harvest this autumn?

Sweet potatoes alone are much older, don't you know? And potatoes, why don't you open a vermicelli shop yourself? Why let outsiders do it? It's not like you can't afford to hire people.

Your brother-in-law will help you calculate it. Anyway, you will have to hire a long-term worker after buying the land, so you might as well do it yourself. On the way here, I was thinking that your brother-in-law really didn't make a mistake in his calculations.

Anyway, the sweet potatoes and potatoes used to make vermicelli are all from your own garden. If there are any leftovers, you don't want to have tofu dregs to supply to the canteen for cooking. You can raise pigs, right?

Think about it, is this true? Are you afraid that the money will be too hot? Then the pancreas business will not be good. Bah, bah, bah, bad things don’t work, but good things do!

I mean, isn't it better to have more workshops than fewer? Why don't you save more money while you and your brother-in-law are lucky now? What are you waiting for?

San Ya, I am the blood and flesh granddaughter of that immortal old man, not to mention my husband's uncle from the next room. Do you remember how your second sister lost her life?

If your second sister hadn't been afraid that those scandals would be exposed and ruin our reputation, and hadn't deceived you and hid it from your father, would you have been sold secretly? Reputation, reputation, you almost died, what good reputation do you want?" (End of this chapter)
