On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 135: Theft at Gu Mansion
Madam Li wiped her tears and said delicately, "Master, you must take care of yourself! The Gu family cannot live without you."

"Dad, hold on. Everything at home depends on you."

Gu Qiting: “…”

"Dad, Mom." Gu Chen's voice came from outside, "Dad, my money is gone!"

"Son..." Madam Li stood up, looking much more haggard, "Stop talking, your father... needs to rest."

Gu Chen was dissatisfied, "Why? What happened to Dad? Dad used to be strong and healthy, how could he..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Mother! Father, my silver is gone, you have to give me some! Otherwise I..."

Gu Chen wanted to say something but was pulled out by Mrs. Li.

Gu Yao bowed and left.

In the huge room, only Gu Qiting and a few maids were left.

Gu Qiting felt deeply desolate and heartbroken at this moment.

His wives and children... they only care about money and don't even care about his health, and don't even call a doctor!
Gu Qiting suddenly remembered the scene when Liu was still alive. At that time, he and Liu were still very loving. No matter if he coughed or was sick, Liu would take care of him very considerately, even if he had a bad temper...

But now, everything is just a dream, and the good things in the past are gone forever.

Gu Yan didn’t know what happened later in the Gu Mansion. After they finished their business, they left Heifeng Town directly.

Lan Yue removed all the marks on the gold, silver and jewelry she harvested, donated part of it to the temple, gave the small change to some beggars, and used the rest to buy land and a farm.

"Lan Yue, do you think I'm incompetent?"

Lan Yue was thinking about something when she suddenly heard Gu Yan say this.

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Gu Yan lowered his head, his eyes were complicated, "I... Gu Qiting, when I was young, he and my mother were very loving, but when I was ten years old, he let my mother down. He said that he would only love my mother for the rest of his life, but in the end he still married someone else..."

Gu Yan actually couldn't understand. His Gu family wasn't very wealthy, so why did his father follow the example of others and take in concubines?
I also couldn't understand why he would break the oath he made to his mother.

Gu Qiting’s current status is all due to the property left by his mother’s family. Otherwise, would Gu Qiting be able to live in such a big yard today?

After all, his father is a smooth-talking person who despises the poor and loves the rich.

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I didn't take revenge on him today, I just took what he wanted. In the end, I was too soft-hearted. I should have asked him to give half of the family property. After all, half of the things in the Gu Mansion belonged to my mother."

Lan Yue didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Yan quietly and listened to him carefully.

What he needs now is someone who can listen to his heart.

Moreover, as an outsider, she should not interfere too much. This is Gu Yan’s own family affair.

Gu Yan calmed down for a while, "Lan Yue, thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted so quickly."

Lan Yue: "We are friends. It is my honor to help you."

Gu Yan was slightly stunned.

friend?
He's just... a friend?
Seeing that Gu Yan was stunned, Lan Yue didn't say anything else.

She had said what she needed to say. It was impossible for her and Gu Yan to become anything more than friends.

The best outcome would be to make him give up sooner.

"Blue Moon..."

Gu Yan wanted to express his feelings, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips. Now is not the time to express his feelings. He has not made any achievements yet, can't give Lan Yue the life she wants, and can't support himself...

He still relies on Lan Yue now, he can't say it.

"what happened?"

Gu Yan shook his head and smiled casually, "Nothing, you should rest first, it will take a long time to return to Nan'an City."

Lan Yue nodded, closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the space. She still needed to practice her mental power more. If she went to Guixu Continent, her mental power would be one of her trump cards.

Gu Yan looked at Lan Yue with a lonely expression.
-
On the way back, everything went smoothly.

After two and a half days of rushing, they finally returned to Nan'an City.

"Sister Lan Yue is back!"

After Lan Yue and Gu Yan returned home, Nan Yu and Gu Xue also finished their classes.

"Sister Lan Yue!"

Gu Xue and Nan Yu have become much more sensible. When they saw Lan Yue, they did not rush over to her like they did before.

"Gu Xue, Nan Yu, long time no see." Lan Yue greeted them with a smile, "You have grown a lot taller, especially Nan Yu."

Nanyu was a little embarrassed, and forced himself to say, "Sister Lanyue has become much prettier too."

"Sister Lan Yue, now that you're back, are you going to leave again?"

"Lan Yue, you're back." Liu came out of the house, "Don't stand here and talk. If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."

The group entered the house and the servants prepared tea and cakes.

Gu Xue asked, "Sister Lan Yue, you haven't answered me yet."

Lan Yue drank a glass of water before answering Gu Xue, "Maybe after a while. I will buy a farm and some land soon and plan to grow some vegetables and fruits."

Liu, "Lan Yue, are you going to do business?"

Lan Yue nodded. "We opened an inn. The inn provides food and accommodation. I just want to make more money, so I want to grow some food. This way we don't have to go to other stores to buy food."

"Also, I plan to train some confidants, so that you won't have to work too hard."

"Lan Yue, you are thinking about us, right?" Liu looked at Lan Yue. Although the child was young, he was more thoughtful than adults. He was kind and always thought about them.

I think the Zhuangzi she mentioned was also prepared for them.

"We are all family, and I am not losing out." Lan Yue said, "You help me make money, and I give you advice behind the scenes. You don't need to put in any effort, just use your brain, so you don't need to feel any psychological burden when you help me do things."

The others understood what Lan Yue meant. As long as the manor was not given to them directly, they would not have so much psychological burden.

Liu thought for a moment and said, "Then we will help you manage the shop and farm in public, and you can collect the money behind the scenes. You don't need to give us too much monthly salary, I'm afraid we will feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, Sister Lan Yue, you have done enough for us." Nan Yan said, "Buying a house and an inn, we don't know how to repay you."

"You are repaying me by doing things for me." Lan Yue chuckled, "We are a family. We have been through so many ups and downs together. Shouldn't I consider something for you? In that case, why should I sit with you and talk and laugh? It's better to be a stranger."

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

"We all listen to Sister Lan Yue. Whatever Sister Lan Yue says is what we have to do."

"Yes, listen to Sister Lan Yue."

"That's fine. Since you're listening to me, I have to plan how to make money." Lan Yue looked at them and said, "I'm going to go back and rest first. I'll take care of the other things. When the time comes, you just need to listen to my arrangements."
