Chapter 503 Extra ()
"Boss, do you want to take this pot with you? These bowls are newly bought. Can you just throw them away if you don't want them?" Chen Chunhua looked reluctant.
Boss Gu hasn't said anything yet.
The eldest son Gu Yun said directly: "Which is more cost-effective to hire an extra carriage for such a small thing?"
Chen Chunhua stopped talking, but her eyes were still full of reluctance.
Boss Gu said, "Didn't I tell you to send all these things to your mother's family? Why are you so stingy to your mother's family?"
Chen Chunhua said: "I saved all these little by little. I spent so much money... I just don't want them anymore..."
Boss Gu was too lazy to argue with her and said directly: "Okay, then you stay. I will go to the capital with my son and daughter-in-law to enjoy life."
Chen Chunhua immediately stood up: "No, how can you leave me alone!"
Gu Yun said at the side: "Mom, we are going to stay in the capital this time. My second uncle said that I want to marry a woman from the city in the future. You can't always be so petty, or you will be laughed at by your in-laws!"
Chen Chunhua agreed reluctantly.
Now the first and third branches of the Gu family have received Gu Mingda's letter, saying that he would take them to the capital for resettlement. Chen Chunhua now walks in the village with her head held high, and she is very proud.
When she thought about going to the capital, she felt both excited and scared.
She looked forward to living a good life after moving to the city, hoping that her descendants would all be Beijing residents. But she was also afraid that she, a country woman, would be laughed at in the capital.
Except for Gu Yun, everyone else in the Gu family has a similar mentality.
But they also know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they miss it, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
"You should learn more from the third brother's wife. Look at her! She is so decisive in doing things!" said Boss Gu.
Chen Chunhua glanced at Zheng Cui'er next to her. Zheng Cui'er was now holding her newborn daughter in her arms. The son and daughter born to Gu Laosan's previous wife followed their stepmother obediently, holding on to her clothes, and were extremely well-behaved.
"Boss, do you really want to bring Fangcao and her father over with you? Since his second uncle has said that he will find a local wife for Ayun in Beijing, can you find a new wife for Ajin as well?" Chen Chunhua asked.
When Boss Gu heard this, a hint of interest immediately flashed in his eyes.
The first wife has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Gu Yun, is not engaged, but the second son, Gu Jin, has already married a long time ago. She is Chen Chunhua's niece.
Gu Yun said from the side: "Mom, do you want to break off the engagement? Uncle has taken good care of Jin over the years, how dare you do that?"
Gu Jin has been learning carpentry from his uncle over the years. If his uncle was not his nephew and son-in-law, how could he have passed on all his skills to Gu Jin?
Chen Chunhua's eyes wandered, and she said, "I am also considering your cousin Fangcao. It will be inconvenient to come back from the long journey to the capital."
Gu Yun laughed and said, "Second uncle is always thorough. He has already said that he will let my uncle come with us. He is willing to help with the arrangements." Chen Chunhua immediately became anxious, "Why does your second uncle take care of everything? When there is something good, he will definitely take care of his family first. Why does he also make arrangements for outsiders!"
The Chen family's uncle had helped the Gu family a lot in the early years. There were only a father and a daughter in the uncle's family, so it was easier to arrange things with fewer people, so Gu Mingda took on so much responsibility.
Gu Mingda, an outsider, was willing to give benefits, but Chen Chunhua, a relative of hers, was not. Everyone looked at her with contempt.
Boss Gu asked, "Did your second uncle really say that? Then it seems that he will definitely not agree to cancel the engagement, right?"
Gu Yun nodded and said, "Dad, don't you know my second uncle yet? He is a man who always keeps his word. Besides, he is now a high-ranking official in the capital. If the news of the broken engagement gets out, it will not be good for his reputation and will affect the whole family."
Chen Chunhua curled her lips and said, "Your second uncle is from the second house, so it's not right for him to interfere in the affairs of our first house."
Gu Yun felt that his mother had forgotten the pain after the wound healed, and said directly: "Second uncle is indeed not in a position to intervene in my brother's divorce, but he can also completely ignore us."
When Boss Gu heard this, he was shocked. He stretched out his hand and tugged at Chen Chunhua, saying, "If you really mess around and dare not listen to my second brother, and ruin the children's good life, I will divorce you!"
Chen Chunhua said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are all good people, and I am the only bad person!"
All the things that the Gu family's eldest wife was reluctant to throw away were given to Chen Chunhua's mother's eldest wife. Chen Chunhua's younger brother also set off for Beijing with the Gu family.
They were traveling with the Luo family's caravan, taking another route into the capital. After arriving in the city, they picked up Gu Yan.
Gu Yan passed the provincial examination and performed as well as his father, winning first place. However, the next provincial examination was still a year and a half away, so he planned to return to Baiyun Academy to continue his studies and then go back to his hometown to take the exam a year later.
As soon as Chen Chunhua saw Gu Yan, she immediately became very fond of him. Now her family's entire future depended on the second wife, and she dared not neglect any of the second wife's children.
"Ayan, your parents wrote to you earlier, saying that they had found your second brother. Is that true?" Chen Chunhua asked curiously.
Gu Yan nodded: "My second brother has suffered a lot over the years, and his face has many scars. My parents feel sorry for him. Aunt, when you see my second brother in the capital, don't show surprise, so as not to make him sad."
Chen Chunhua pretended to be sorry and said, "It must be painful to have a face full of scars. I still remember your second brother was fair and tender when he was a child. He was so cute then. Now he is like this, does he dare not go out to see people?"
Chen Chunhua only knew that the person was found, and she didn't know the specific circumstances. This summer, she was still hoping that everything would go well for the second wife, but finally, something went wrong.
Gu Yan shook his head and said, "Although my second brother has scars all over his face, he has a strong mind. He is now serving as the fifth-rank Southern Pacification Envoy in the Qilin Guard. The emperor even praised him for his ability to be a great general."
"Ah? How old is he, and he's already an official? And a fifth-rank official at that? Our county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official. He holds a higher position than the county magistrate!" Chen Chunhua asked in disbelief.
Gu Yan nodded and said shyly, "Although my second brother is young, he has been well educated by his adoptive father. He has fought in battles since he was young and has made outstanding military achievements. This time, he was lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty and stay in Beijing to serve."
Gu Yun heard this and immediately showed a longing look on his face: "Great, eat meat with big mouthfuls, kill enemies with a big knife, a real man should be like this! Ah Yan, go back and talk to your brother and find a way for me, I also want to go to the border and fight against foreigners!"
Before Gu Yan could say anything, Chen Chunhua slapped her eldest son on the head: "You want to live a good life but you have to go to the edge of a knife and lick blood!"
