sister-in-law

Chapter 103
There are only a hundred or so people in Gujia Village, and if there is any trouble, it will spread throughout the village within one night.

When Gu Hongxi complained about Su Ruoli's words, several women who had good friends with Su Ruoli told her the next day.

Su Ruoli didn't take it seriously, just smiled and passed.

Although Gu Hongxi was Gu Zhang's second uncle, he didn't care about face at all in what he did.Last time, in the middle of the night, he and others stole something from Su Ruoli's house. Su Ruoli hadn't settled the score with him yet, how dare he complain about her?
It was nothing more than looking at Gu Zhang and Gu Mo's face, so he didn't let go of him.

It's not that Su Ruoli doesn't know what Gu Hongxi'an is thinking, it's just that she sees that her family is full of half-grown children and doesn't know anything, so she wants to buy some money by buying.

She is not short of money now, but she is not stupid enough to give the money to the white-eyed wolf.

Therefore, Su Ruoli didn't pay much attention to how Gu Hongxi complained and slandered this niece and daughter-in-law for being ignorant in front of outsiders.

The house is in a mess right now, how can Su Ruoli take care of it?
With the help of the villagers, after the first seven days, Gu Hongjun's coffin was pulled up the mountain, and a pit was dug at the Gu family ancestor's grave and buried.

On the day of the burial, Su Ruoli, who was originally calm, thought about her father-in-law who was sitting there eating with her a few days ago, but now he has become a sleeping thing under the ground. Shed a tear.

Since Su Ruoli had some money on hand, the funeral was also very beautiful, surpassing any ancestor of the Gu family.

People in the village talked behind their backs, saying that Gu Hongjun was suppressed by his wife to wear a cuckold, and he had never enjoyed a few days of happiness in his life. Unexpectedly, the death of his daughter-in-law made him a good time.

It's a pity that this daughter-in-law has already been divorced by that incomprehensible Luo Shi.

After finishing the funeral, Su Ruoli, who had been tense all the time, only felt weak all over, and didn't show up. He took out a few taels of silver and asked Gu Mo to hand it over to the clan uncle, and invited a few people from the village to help out for dinner, thank you Alright, this matter is over.

After lying on the bed and sleeping for a long time, Su Ruoli felt better.After all, it is because of his young age and weak body, and he has been working hard these days, this small body is a bit too much.

After waking up, I sat there for a while, went to the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water to eat, only then did I feel some strength in my body.

When Gu Lanniang heard the movement, she came out from the east ear room with the child in her arms. Her face was tanned and her eyes were still red and swollen.The little girl in her arms was also black and thin, with sparse and unhealthy yellow hair, which made Su Ruo's heart skip a beat.

By the looks of it, was she abused again at her in-law's house?
His eyes swept across Gu Lanniang's face, and the palm prints he saw the day he came here have faded, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

Su Ruoli knew it in his heart, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Why don't you take this opportunity to sleep with the child in your arms? I'm really tired these days."

Gu Lanniang lowered her brows and eyes, always carrying a hint of sadness. Although she tried her best to suppress Su Ruoli in front of her, she couldn't hide from Su Ruoli, who had "golden eyes".

She raised her eyes and smiled, and her brows stretched out at this moment, making people feel that she is still a young woman.

That face, which was somewhat similar to Gu Zhang's, bloomed with astonishing beauty only at the moment when she smiled, but it was only a flash in the pan.Excessive worry and unhappiness bent her young back, making her keep her head down and dare not look at others.

The same is true in front of Su Ruoli, before she was her legitimate sister-in-law, but now, she is no longer even a sister-in-law, just someone who used to have some relationship with her family.

The whole family still eats and drinks her food, and now even her father's funeral is spent at Su Ruoli's money.Gu Lanniang was full of shame, but there was nothing she could do.

I want to say thank you but don't know where to start.

Facing Su Ruoli's bright and charming smiling face, Gu Lanniang lost her mind, lowered her head and murmured: "Miss Su, I should be leaving tomorrow morning. My father's business is thanks to you, at home..."

She was already ashamed to call Su Ruoli "sister-in-law". After all, her mother was outrageous, and such a good woman was divorced.

After saying this, she burst into tears and really didn't know what to say.

Except for the second brother, Gu Mo, who is still a bit older in the family, the other two are seven years old and nine years old, which are exactly the same age as others. Who cares if she is the eldest sister?

But her husband's family is like that, she is a weak woman, and she still depends on her mother-in-law and husband to live, so what can she do to support her younger siblings?

The girl in front of her is no longer hers, so how can her younger siblings rely on her?

Gu Lanniang was extremely conflicted in her heart, and she hesitated to speak several times, but she couldn't say a word.He only stared at Su Ruoli with two tearful eyes, which made Su Ruoli feel embarrassed.

Such a weak woman married to such a family, struggling to survive in front of her husband's family was hard enough for her.If she dragged a few half-sized children to her, it would really kill her.

Forget it, who told her that she had anything to do with Gu Zhang before, even if Luo Shi divorced her, even if Gu Zhang might not come back in the future, she still has to help with this favor!

Facing the weak, she will never be able to put on the domineering posture of the strong.

She took out a pure white handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Lanniang, comforting her heart, "I understand what's on my mind, and Gu Mo and the others are my relatives. Although my mother-in-law is heartless, I can't be unjust. How many of them Let the other stay with me, so that I can have a companion."

Fearing that Gu Lanniang would feel guilty, Su Ruoli had no choice but to say that he wanted to find a few people to be his companions. In this way, Gu Lanniang might not feel that he had any uneasiness?
"It's really troublesome Miss Su." The "siblings" who were about to reach their mouths were swallowed by Gu Lanniang, and they curled their tongues before calling out "Miss Su", "What would we do without you for such a big family?" Huh? Even if Dad is under the Nine Springs, he should rest in peace."

Wiping her face with a handkerchief, Gu Lanniang was about to go back to the house, "I should pack up, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning." There was a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Hearing Su Ruoxin's head move, the words came out of his mouth, "Eldest sister is not happy at her in-law's house, is she? According to me, brother-in-law, that beast doesn't even come when her husband is dead, and the Wang family doesn't even have an open person to show up." , obviously didn't take the eldest sister seriously. Such a home, don't go back!"

According to the customs of this place, the in-laws are gone, so why doesn't the Wang family, who is the in-laws of the sons and daughters, come to show their filial piety to decent people?Not only that, even my uncle didn't come to kowtow to offer incense, such a family is either unreasonable or looks down on Gu Lanniang.

As a daughter-in-law, being looked down upon by her in-laws, what else is there to go back to?
When Gu Lanniang heard this, there was a moment of excitement on her face, but it immediately dimmed, and she lowered her head and murmured: "The water thrown by the married girl! What else can I do? It's all life!"

She really wants to go back to her mother's house, Wang Laichun's son-in-law Wang Bazi spends all day drinking, whoring and gambling, and doesn't care about anything at home.The mother-in-law is also a tigress, she will move her hands if she disagrees with her.All the work in the family was left to her alone. She took a child with her, and took care of the work of the whole family all day long. When will such days end?
But now her mother's family is no longer a family, her father is dead and her mother is stealing people, and her elder brother has joined the army and there is no news, what hope does she have?
When I got home, I didn't even have a place to live, so I couldn't rely on Su Ruoli, right?Why did Su Ruoli take her in?
"At any rate, the child belongs to their Wang family, so what can they do to me?" Gu Lanniang smiled wryly, not daring to meet Su Ruoli's big bright eyes.

"Eldest sister is really too weak. If you marry someone, you deserve to be bullied by them?" Su Ruoli became chivalrous again, and stood up for Gu Lanniang, "Elder sister, don't look forward and backward, just live a good life by yourself, such a scum It doesn't matter if you don't want a man. Just give me a word, big sister, and I will take care of it for you. Don't think that no one will care about you if your father is gone."

After hearing these words, Gu Lanniang burst into tears.Such a woman, their Gu family is so lucky to marry back home, but she doesn't know gold and jade!

She raised her head, met Su Ruoli's eyes full of encouragement, and finally nodded solemnly, "That family can't accommodate me, and staying here is just a matter of life. If Miss Su doesn't dislike it, I'd rather serve Miss Su every day , just give us mother and daughter a bite to eat!"

"Oh, Miss Su is so fragile?" Su Ruoli stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, teasing the little baby in her arms. The child was thin and small, like a cat, and only snorted slightly. , I have no spirit at all.

Sighing, Su Ruoli went on to say: "Eldest sister just stay here, it's good to cook three meals a day for me, don't mention any service or not in the future, even though my mother-in-law divorced me, Gu Zhang I haven't come back yet, so it's hard to say."

Holding Gu Lanniang in his arms, he sent her to the East Wing, "Elder Sister lives here first, let's see what the Wang family plans to say!"

Gu Lanniang gratefully agreed, and took the child to work on her own.

In fact, Su Ruoli also has selfish intentions. Gu Xuan and Gu Xueniang are still young, and she can't do without them. She is also busy going to the Sanyuantang in the town for consultations, and preparing various pills every day. The big and small things in this family If she doesn't have someone in charge, she won't be too busy.

Gu Mo is also good at studying, and she didn't want to delay him.Gu Lanniang happened to be unable to stay at her husband's house any longer, so staying here to take care of her younger siblings and cook for her was really the best of both worlds.

A few days later, Su Ruoli bought a few chickens and a baby piglet at the market while he was in Sanyuantang for a consultation, and brought them home. They kept them in the yard, which was considered a new addition to the family. Got some energy.

Now she is also planning to live. Although the consultation fee of one tael a month is enough to eat and drink, and the pills she prepared are selling well, but after all, it is impossible to raise such a large family without any savings. .

Although Gu's Village is surrounded by vast green hills, the rocks on the hills are not suitable for growing food. The family's rice and noodles have to be bought with money, and they can only save more money to feel at ease!
