After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't speak, Niu Niu asked timidly: "Grandma, did Niu Niu say something wrong 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 now. She wanted Gu Mingda to help her brother. To a certain extent, this was not partiality.

Just because the second child was smart and capable of taking on tasks, he wanted 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. Her daughter-in-law could think this way, and 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 bastards 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 materials used 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?"

Old Mrs. Gu also hated it. 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 bastard 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 his life in vain." Gu Mingda comforted him.

Old Lady Gu was still unhappy and said, "If it weren't for the two children, I would have asked the third son to divorce her!"

The carriage stopped outside the old Gu family. The eldest and third sons of the Gu family obviously knew what had happened before. When they saw Gu Mingda getting off the carriage, they asked anxiously, "Second brother, is mother okay?"

Old Lady Gu opened the carriage curtain and was helped off the carriage with a gloomy face.

Although Gu Mingda didn't gossip about his brothers, he thought of the anger that his mother had suffered during this period and saw that the two brothers didn't look happy, so he simply didn't answer.

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

The driver didn't understand, but still answered honestly: "Old lady, don't worry, our carriage and horse company is not the kind of black-hearted people. We will never ask for a lot for this extra trip. We only charged him five cents of silver."

When Mrs. Gu heard this amount, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and asked again: "Do you remember how much money you spent on my treatment in the clinic before?"

The driver still didn't know what the old lady was going to do, but still answered: "I saw it clearly from the side. The pulse diagnosis and medicine cost two taels of silver in total. Old lady, you are blessed, your second son is very generous."

The eldest and third sons of the Gu family were afraid that the money would be shared by their two families, so they hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our second brother is the most promising person in the family. He is not only rich, but also a scholar now. In the future, our parents are counting on him."

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

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