After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Equal sharing

Seeing that Mrs. Gu was silent, Niu Niu asked timidly: "Grandma, did Niu Niu say the wrong thing and make you unhappy?"

Seeing the child's uneasy look, Mrs. Gu felt a little guilty and said, "Niuniu is right."

Niuniu asked again: "Then since grandma also thinks dad is right, why is she still unhappy?"

Mrs. Gu was startled when she heard this.

Being stared at by her precious granddaughter's clear eyes, Mrs. Gu rarely began to reflect on herself.

She also knew that it was purely wishful thinking that she was bringing a large family together. She wanted Gu Mingda to help her brother. To a certain extent, this was also partiality.

Just because the second child is smart and can take on the task, he wants to put the two idiots, the eldest and the third, into his charge.

This seemed unfair to Gu Mingda.

After thinking about it clearly, Mrs. Gu seemed to be wrapped in guilt for a moment. She looked up at her second son apologetically and said softly: "Second son, it's my mother who is greedy."

Naturally, Gu Mingda would not hold grudges against his mother. Looking at his mother's old face, he thought that she had been like an old scalper over the years, trying her best to take care of the whole family.

"Mom, you and dad have worked hard all your life. I don't want you to worry about these things anymore. Just wait and enjoy yourself. This time we separate, you can live with me from now on, okay?" Gu Mingda said softly.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Yunniang.

The old lady has been in charge of the family her whole life. If she continues to take charge of the family and is the backbone of the family, she will naturally remain true to her word.

But if it is determined that he will live with a certain son in the future, then the future will depend on the face of the daughter-in-law.

Zhang Yunniang held her mother-in-law's old hand and said softly: "Mom, I have experienced little and don't understand many things. I will still be waiting for you to help me make decisions in the future."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she thought about it. Compared with the two daughters-in-law, Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni, Zhang Yunniang, the second daughter-in-law, had indeed never had any conflicts with her in the past.

After the comparison, she could not calm down. After all, the other two sons were too unreliable. She was always afraid that they would not be able to survive without her keeping an eye on them.

Gu Mingda said: "I know you are always worried about your eldest brother and third brother. When we separate, I can ask for nothing but you and dad."

Even if Gu Mingda fails to pass the imperial examination in the future, he does not plan to stay in Qingshui Village for a long time, and he will not come back to farm after taking the land from the village.

Moreover, he has many ways to make money, and he does not lack these three melons and two dates. The most important thing is that he separated the family just after he was admitted as a scholar. If he still takes advantage of the family, outsiders will definitely gossip.

He simply suffered a little loss and gained a reputation for being generous.

At this time, Mrs. Gu was shocked by her second son's generosity.

"You don't want the land or the house? Brother, do you know what you are talking about? What do you think, Yun Niang? Are you planning to ask for nothing? You have four children! Three of your sons are going to get wives. Niuniu will She also needs to give her a decent dowry when she gets married, how can she not ask for anything?" Mrs. Gu asked eagerly.

Zhang Yunniang chuckled softly and said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, my husband and I think the same. Farms and houses are personal possessions. As long as you and dad can feel at ease, that is more important than anything else."

Tears suddenly fell from Mrs. Gu's eyes. As her daughter-in-law thought this, she felt more and more that she didn't need to worry about her future life. With such a character, she didn't worry at all that her daughter-in-law would be mean to her in the future.

"You are all good... If Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni could be like you, I wouldn't have to worry like this." Mrs. Gu grabbed Zhang Yunniang's hand and praised. Only then did Gu Mingda repeat the previous question; "Mom, can you tell me now, who has I been angry with at home these past two months as I rushed to take the exam? Is it the third younger brother or sister?"

Mrs. Gu didn't want to say anything yet.

Gu Mingda said: "I can ask others without telling you. If others add insult to injury, I will believe it."

Mrs. Gu had no choice but to speak reluctantly: "Liu Erni, a fool, secretly learned our family's tofu recipe and taught it to her younger brothers. The Liu family can sell a piece of tofu cheaper than our family. It caused our tofu workshop to collapse."

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "Our tofu can't be sold in Qingshui Village, what about Chenjia Village? It's my sister-in-law's natal family, is there no one to buy it?"

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she got angry and said: "Those **** from the Liu family are very fast. When people in Chenjia Village see cheap tofu to buy, they don't care whether they are relatives or not! They don't even think about it. Although Liu's tofu is cheaper, the cuts are smaller than ours, and the ingredients are not as strong as ours! They are all short-sighted people who are greedy for petty gains!”

Gu Mingda sighed and said: "I originally thought that with the addition of a tofu-making business in the family, the life of the eldest brother and the third brother would be easier. What did the third brother and sister think? What did the third brother say?"

Mrs. Gu was also filled with hatred. Although the tofu workshop was just a small business, it could not keep up with the steady flow of money. It could make money every day. At this time of year, there were more people buying tofu and more money was made.

"Your third brother, that good-for-nothing, was obsessed with his wife. He was angry for a few days and ignored such a big thing. He deserves to be a **** for the rest of his life!"

As a mother, Mrs. Gu can scold her son as she pleases, but Gu Mingda cannot speak ill of his brother. Besides, the old lady is not in good health and cannot accept anger.

"Everything is going well with the family. Third brother has no other choice now. He can't live in a miserable state." Gu Mingda comforted him.

Mrs. Gu was still not happy and said, "If it weren't for the sake of the two children, I would definitely let the third child divorce her!"

The carriage stopped outside Lao Gu's house. Gu Boss and Gu Lao San obviously knew what happened before. As soon as they saw Gu Mingda getting off the carriage, they asked eagerly: "Second brother/Second brother, are you okay, mother?"

Mrs. Gu opened the carriage curtain and was helped out of the carriage with a gloomy face.

Although Gu Mingda didn't gossip about his brothers, when he thought about how angry his mother was during this time, he didn't look good when he saw the two brothers, so he simply didn't answer.

Mrs. Gu suddenly asked the coachman loudly: "Because of my illness, does my second son have to pay you a lot more money?"

The coachman didn't know why, but he still answered honestly: "Old lady, don't worry, our coach and horse dealer is not the kind of black-hearted person. This extra trip will definitely not make a big deal out of the lion. We only charged him five coins."

When Mrs. Gu heard this amount, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, and asked again: "How much did you spend on treating me at the hospital earlier? Do you still remember?"

The coachman still didn't know what the old lady was going to do, but he still replied: "I saw it really well from the side. Diagnosing the pulse and buying medicine cost a total of twenty taels of silver. Old lady, you are a lucky person. Your second son is so generous." "

Gu Lao San and Gu Lao San were afraid that the money would be shared between them, so they hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our second brother/second brother is the most promising person in the family. Not only is he rich, he is also a scholar now. My parents are counting on him in the future.”

When Mrs. Gu saw them like this, she couldn't help but frown.

She had known for a long time that these two sons were not as filial as Gu Mingda, but she still couldn't help but feel upset. She raised her voice on the spot and said: "He is not the only son of mine, the money must be shared equally among the three of you!"
