Joe's Farming

Da Zhuang opened the door.

At a glance, Gu Sanxi saw Gu Feng, who looked like his elder brother, and Gu Gang, who had a scar on his face.

"Thank God, you are really a man of steel. When I saw you in Qingshan Town the other day, I couldn't recognize you. It's great that you are back alive!" Gu Sanxi said in surprise.

Qiao Yu found it funny. The eldest brother of the Gu family went to perform corvée labor with his second uncle. Isn't it a bit abnormal that this man didn't mention his second brother at all?

Gu Gang now figured it out. Maybe Gu Sanxi saw him when he was selling charcoal last time. But since they didn't recognize each other that day, why did he come to see him in the heavy snow?

Seeing that the two brothers didn't say anything, Gu Sanxi kicked his son.

Gu Chengkai immediately shouted loudly: "Brother, brother, I am Xiaokai."

Gu Gang left home at the age of fifteen and had only a little impression of this cousin. However, Gu Feng remembered how much his grandmother doted on this grandson when he was a child. Gu Chengkai was a few years younger than him, but he often bossed him around. Gu Feng's face immediately showed a bit of disgust.

Seeing that the two brothers had no intention of inviting them in, Gu Sanxi said with a wry smile, "Gangzi, Xiaofeng. It's so cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Gu Feng thought that Qiao Yu was also following him, so it was not a good idea to talk at the door. So he asked Da Zhuang to open the door and let them in.

Gu Sanxi saw the two houses with window paper-cuts and shouted, "Xiaofeng has really made great progress. When we arrived at Shangtian Village and asked, the people there showed us the way. They said that your house is the largest blue brick and tile house in the village."

Gu Chengkai also said, "Yes, brother. You are really amazing. I want to learn hunting from you in the future. I also want to build a big blue brick and tile house when we get married."

Qiao Yu glanced at Gu Chengkai. This cousin looks to be in his twenties, but he’s still not married?

"This house was built by my husband, not me." Gu Feng replied coldly.

Gu Chengkai: ...

Gu Sanxi looked over at this time and saw that Qiao Yu had a scarf around her neck that looked very expensive, her hands were tucked into her cotton gloves, and her skin was extremely pale.

In fact, when he was asking around in the village, he heard that Hunter Gu had a very capable husband, but he didn't expect that even Gu Feng's house was built by his husband. He was suddenly at a loss for words.

When they arrived at the main room where charcoal was burning, Gu Sanxi and Gu Chengkai stretched their hands out from their armpits to warm themselves by the fire and sighed comfortably.

Gu Sanxi looked at the furniture in the room and once again sighed that his nephew had really made a fortune. However, from the time they entered the house until now, the two brothers had not spoken a single word to them, and he didn't know how to start.

Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan to pour two cups of hot water for them.

Gu Sanxi held the bamboo cup in his hands and warmed his hands while saying, "Gangzi, Xiaofeng. Uncle San came here this time to borrow some money from you."

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes in his heart. As expected, this family came to extort money.

Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Sanxi drank a sip of hot water and continued, "Xiao Kai is almost nineteen this year, and he hasn't married yet. The girl's family wants ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. We in the Gu family really don't have that much. Fortunately, you two children are promising, and your uncle doesn't want much, just lend me thirty taels. You two will definitely have that much..."

"Wait a minute." Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "The girl wants ten taels of silver, and you want to borrow thirty taels?"

Gu Chengkai had never seen any boy dare to speak to his elders like that, and was about to curse when he was stopped by his father.

Gu Sanxi smiled and said, "Ten taels of silver as betrothal gift, and the remaining twenty taels to build a new house for Xiaokai. After the girl marries, she can't live in a mud house with our family, right?"

"Hahahaha." Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Did I hear you right? You live in a mud house, and you want to marry a daughter-in-law who requires a betrothal gift of 10 taels and a house of 20 taels? Brother Gu, is there something wrong with their brains, or is there something wrong with that girl's brains?"

Gu Chengkai could no longer bear it and stood up and shouted, "How can you speak like that? Is it your turn to speak here?"

Gu Feng stood up, picked up the man by the collar and threw him out of the main room.

Gu Sanxi didn't expect things to turn out like this. He threw himself on his son and yelled, "Gu Feng! How could you do this to Xiao Kai? He's your brother! Shouldn't you pay for his wedding?!"

"I separated myself when I was fifteen, and I don't have a younger brother this old." Gu Feng said coldly.

Gu Gang finally said the first sentence: "Third uncle, Xiaofeng told me that the pension money for my second uncle and me was taken away by you and mother, is that right?

That should be at least several dozen taels. Second uncle's family is honest. Xiaofeng said he has been living with you. My share of the money will be used as a subsidy for Second uncle's family.

But how did you say you wanted to borrow thirty taels from Xiaofeng? My parents died, so why did Xiaofeng move to Shangtian Village alone? Don't you know?"

Gu Sanxi and Gu Chengkai trembled after being yelled at.

"Gang, Gangzi. Don't listen to Xiaofeng's one-sided story. His mother came to find him and asked him to go home, but he didn't want to go back." Gu Sanxi said.

Qiao Yu was furious when he heard this! He still remembered that Gu Feng had told him that they had just moved here for less than two years when the county imposed corvée labor again. The old woman came to ask him to go home so that Gu Feng could replace his third uncle.

"Da Zhuang!" Qiao Yu shouted.

Da Zhuang immediately ran over: "Boss, you called me?"

Qiao Yu pointed at the two people who had just gotten up and said, "Throw them out! From now on, anyone from Shangxi Village who comes to see the uncle or the second uncle will not be allowed in!"

"Okay!" Da Zhuang said and was about to take action.

Gu Sanxi howled like a pig and cursed: "You shameless brother, our Gu family doesn't want a husband like you, who has no respect for elders and younger brothers..."

"Wait a minute." Gu Feng suddenly spoke.

Gu Sanxi happily held his head high and said, "I knew this guy couldn't control my nephew. Xiaofeng, you must..."

Gu Feng interrupted him: "Go back and tell grandma that I want to move my father and mother's graves. From now on, stay away from our family, otherwise I will not be polite to you."

Gu Sanxi opened his mouth and laughed for a long time but couldn't utter a word and was "invited" to leave by Dazhuang.

Gu Chengkai angrily patted the snow rolling on the ground: "Dad, this Gu Feng is still as annoying as before, and his brother is even more annoying!"

Gu Sanxi turned around and slapped him: "Shut up! If it weren't for you just now, would Dad not have been able to get the money?"

Gu Chengkai covered his face with grievance: "Listen to what they said, they didn't intend to give it to me in the first place! I said I didn't want to come, but you forced me to come. It's snowing heavily, and my feet are so cold that I can't feel them. You also said that this makes us look miserable and it's easier to get the money, but they pretended not to see it."

Gu Sanxi put his hands into his sleeves and scolded, "I told you not to get along well with Gu Feng when you were little. If you two had a good relationship, would I have to play the victim here?"

Gu Chengkai's eyes widened: "When I was a kid, I bullied him, but you still praised me?"

Gu Sanxi shook his head in annoyance: "Forget it, forget it. Doesn't he want to move the grave? It's not that easy."
