Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 540 Still know to come back

Then I leave? I am not afraid of being laughed at at the gate even at my age! Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth, glared at her husband fiercely, and stepped off the carriage.

Hey, this damn old woman gave him a cold look. Mr. Gu looked in the direction where the carriage came from and thought that no one from the second son's family had come.

What are you looking at? Why don't you go in? Old Mrs. Gu took two quick steps and nudged him with her elbow in annoyance, "Why don't you go in? Do you want me to carry you?"

Gu Laosi laughed, "Dad, my second brother said you are too annoying. Liu Lang was supposed to escort my mother back, but my second brother didn't let him come."

Gu Sanzhu was frightened and quickly took over the conversation, "That's not true, the fourth brother and I both said that we have three brothers and sisters, and the second brother and his father don't need to run back and forth.

It's cold outside, Dad, you go in with Mom first, and I and my brother will take care of this. Sister, you go in with Mom and Dad, and your brother and I will follow right away."

Humph.

Old Man Gu snorted, and before he could say anything, he saw his wife walk around him and ahead of him. Are there any rules left?

Go to the landlord’s inner room.

Gu Yuling was more cautious and waited for Gu Sanzhu and Gu Laosi to come in carrying things. She opened one of the bundles in front of Grandpa Gu.

If she guessed correctly, the head ornaments and jewelry her mother was wearing at the warm-house banquet yesterday must have been stuffed into this bag by her second sister-in-law and brought back to her mother.

If she guessed right, valuable items like head ornaments and jewelry had to be shown in front of the third brother and the youngest brother, otherwise their father would exchange them for silver to support Dalang and accuse the second brother of being unfilial.

as predicted.

In addition to her mother who was still wearing the maroon brocade dress embroidered with patterns of fortune and longevity that she had worn when entertaining guests yesterday, there was also a set of crimson clothes embroidered with pine and cranes in the unpacked bundle.

After removing the top headband, belt, furry hood and gloves, two brocade boxes, one large and one small, were seen sandwiched between the clothes.

Open the brocade box quickly.

In the big box was the complete set of gilded head jewelry she had worn yesterday, and in the small box were silver earrings and silver bracelets with the same pattern as the silver hairpin on her mother's head.

Gu Yuling smiled.

"Mom, you made a fortune."

Gu Laosi was startled, then he couldn't help smacking his lips when he realized what was going on, "Wow, my second sister-in-law is really willing to spend so much, the contents of these two boxes alone are worth more than a hundred taels of silver.

And the cloak that mom was wearing at first is also very valuable. No wonder dad always said that mom was bought by my second brother's family. They were really willing to give it away. My second sister-in-law is really a good person."

Gu Sanzhu grinned and said, "The most filial ones are Liu Lang and his wife, otherwise how could Second Sister-in-law have so many good things. But Second Sister-in-law is also filial.

If it were my wife, if Yan Zi was given away, the mother of the child would be heartbroken. At first, at my second brother's house, my mother left as soon as she said she was leaving, and my second sister-in-law ran into the house to pack up her things without saying anything.

And there is San Ya, the child. The pipe that our father has is very valuable. The eldest and second uncles always envy our father for his good fortune. Who else’s granddaughter-in-law can be as filial as ours?”

Gu Laosi was nudged by his sister, and he smiled knowingly, "The key is that the second brother knows how to teach children. Erlang and Liulang were taught very well by the second brother. Only when your own children are good can you introduce good daughters-in-law. Huniu and Sanya always listen to Erlang and Liulang. For example, today, Sanya would look at Liulang before she said anything.

It was also Liu Lang's idea. San Ya might have developed a generous character because she had grown up in rich families, but our Liu Lang was raised in our peasant family.

Which child from a farming family doesn't know how hard it is to make money? Liu Lang must understand that San Ya's dowry actually belongs to him and his wife, so there is nothing wrong with not giving it away.

But this child is a very honest person, a bit like the third brother, not very talkative but with a kind heart, not talkative, and warm-hearted. He didn't take Dalang's treatment of him seriously.

To be honest with you, there was no one around at the moment, so for that matter, I went out of my way to chat with Liu Lang a few days ago when I saw that he was free, avoiding my second brother.

The child also said, Uncle, to be honest, whenever I think of the fact that my own uncle was plotting against me for the sake of his eldest son, I feel uncomfortable.

We are all family, there is nothing that can't be done openly. If I have to worry about my father delaying my elder brother's studies in order to support my studies, then the only option left is for me to drop out of school.

Let's be frank and talk about it. I believe my father would not give up his nephew for his son at that time. After all, our family is not so poor that we can't afford to eat.

Dalang is a few years older than me, so he is the primary one. It is impossible for him to transfer back to the village school halfway. At most, I can study in the village for two more years. How much money can it cost?

This matter could have been dealt with after I had studied for two more years and taken the county examination. It would not be too late then to consider whether my family could afford to support two scholars.

In fact, at that time, seeing that my uncle had studied for decades but had not achieved anything remarkable, I was already wondering what other options I could have besides studying.

Even if my uncle hadn't plotted against me, I might have dropped out of school halfway. But dropping out on my own initiative and being plotted against are two different things. They were too impatient.

But I don't hold a grudge against you. I didn't see the plot at the beginning, and even if I'm stupid, it's impossible that I couldn't see the clues after a year or two.

I just feel it's so boring. My father treats them as his closest relatives, but before I did anything, they teamed up and stabbed me in the back.

My heart has turned cold, and I can no longer warm up to them. So let's just go our separate ways. I won't get in their way, and they can't get in my way either.

After hearing what Liu Lang said, even though I didn't want to speak well of that brat Da Lang anymore, I still tried to persuade him again. It would be difficult to break his bones and tendons.

As a result, Liu Lang asked me to stop talking. He said, Uncle, some people are naturally cold and indifferent. You can’t warm them up. No matter how much you give, they will still think it’s not enough.

Even if you give him your entire fortune, he will still suspect that you have hidden a lot of it, and will also complain that you gave it too late. I'm sorry that I can't do anything about this kind of person."

Old Mrs. Gu had no idea how many lies were mixed in her son's words. After all, her son had never mentioned to her that he had had a private chat with his nephew Liu Lang about this matter.

But she had a hunch that it was hard to tell whether the first few words were true or false, but the last few words "some people can't be kept warm" were definitely true and were something that Liu Lang, a kid, would say.

The people that the child was talking about actually included his grandfather and was speaking up for his father. I guess the fourth child heard it, so he didn't bear to mention it until now.

After Gu Laosi finished his words, the room fell silent for a moment.

Gu Yuling looked at her parents, then looked at her father, who opened his mouth and then closed it. It seemed that he either didn't know what to say or knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. She couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that his younger sister just sighed and didn't respond, Gu Sanzhu had no choice but to turn around and look at his younger brother: You are quite good at nagging, why don't you continue talking and convince Dad at once.
