She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

After hearing this, Gu Qingqing stood up and stared at the person for a while before recognizing that it was her younger brother, Gu Zhuangzhuang.

Luo Meihua also stood up and said with a smile, "You have a guest at home."

After Luo Meihua finished speaking, she didn't leave in a hurry. She saw that the person who came was a young man, and it would be somewhat inconvenient if Gu Qingqing was the only woman at home.

Gu Qingqing turned to Luo Meihua beside her and said, "They are not guests, but relatives. My brothers from my mother's family are here."

"He must be looking for something with you. I have some other work to do at home, so I won't disturb you. Xiaoyang Xiaoguang, we're leaving!" After Luo Meihua said this to Gu Qingqing, she left with the two children who had not played enough.

Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to call Erhua over, "Erhua, that's your uncle, remember to call him later."

"Uncle?" Erhua tilted her head and repeated her words. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, I don't think I've seen uncle before!"

The last time Gu Zhuangzhuang came was last year. Even when he came, he was very timid and had little sense of presence. Plus, Erhua was young before and might have forgotten about it.

"You've seen it, but maybe you've forgotten it." After Gu Qingqing finished talking to Erhua, Gu Zhuangzhuang had already walked and ran to the outside of the fence on her side.

Seeing that his elder sister was waiting for him, he spoke louder, "Sister, I'm here to see you."

Gu Qingqing didn't believe that he would come to see her for no reason, "Why did you come here suddenly? But what's the matter, mother?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang smiled happily, and said in a simple and honest manner, "Sister, mother is fine. Mother asked me to bring you some mountain fruits."

Gu Zhuangzhuang picked it up and went to pick the bamboo basket behind him.

Gu Qingqing quickly said, "Come in first, don't stand at the door. Erhua, call someone!"

Erhua then called out "Uncle!" a little stiffly.

"Two flowers!"

Then Gu Qingqing heard Gu Zhuangzhuang say, "Sister, I'm thirsty!"

Gu Qingqing pointed to the bench in the yard and said to him, "Sit down for a while. I'll get you some water."

When Gu Qingqing brought out a bowl of warm water, she saw Gu Zhuangzhuang protecting the mountain fruits on the table with one arm and reaching into the bamboo basket with the other hand to continue digging.

At first, Gu Qingqing thought he was blocking the fruit because he was worried that it would roll off the table.

Until Gu Qingqing heard him say to Erhua, "This is for my sister, you can't eat it."

It seems that he, as the uncle, is on guard against Erhua.

Erhua pursed her lips and said, "I won't eat it, I'll just take a look. Uncle, have you ever eaten it? Is it delicious?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang nodded first, then shook his head.

"Well, although this is red, it doesn't look delicious." Erhua swallowed.

As a result, Gu Qingqing heard Gu Zhuangzhuang say, "This is delicious, but a little sour."

Gu Qingqing came over and handed him the water while saying to him, "Zhuangzhuang, Erhua calls you uncle, and she can eat the food you give me."

"Mom said she knows how many there are here." Gu Zhuangzhuang was really completing the task, but Gu Qingqing heard hidden meaning.

She pretended to go forward and scratched it a few times, then said, "I received them all, the quantity is correct."

Gu Zhuangzhuang then said "hmm" happily, picked up a few mountain fruits and gave them to Erhua, "This is for you to eat."

He kept three in his hand, rubbed one of them on his clothes, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Erhua took it and, imitating her uncle, put it directly into her mouth, and instantly her facial features were squeezed together.

After Gu Zhuangzhuang finished eating the three fruits, he picked up the water that his sister had placed on the table for him, drank it all in one gulp, and even turned the bowl upside down.

He wiped the water from his mouth with the back of his hand, then looked up at Gu Qingqing and said, "Mother said that if I bring the food here, I can take three from here to eat."

Gu Qingqing looked at his sturdy figure and couldn't help but say, "You should eat less of this. If you eat too much, you will be hungry, and when you are hungry, you will want to eat. Last time, I heard from my mother that there is not much food left at home this year, and it is a question whether we can eat until the beginning of spring."

"But even if I don't eat this, I'll still be hungry!" Gu Zhuangzhuang said as he glanced at the kitchen inadvertently, then licked his lips.

Gu Qingqing saw his greedy look clearly and asked him, "Did you come here today just because your mother asked you to bring me some mountain fruit?"

"Well, I heard from mother and Xiaocao that you like to eat this, so they went up the mountain to pick these yesterday, but they didn't let me eat them, so they asked me to bring them all over today."

Gu Qingqing thought that it might be because she ate two mountain fruits when she went back last time, and Gu Jiashi kept it in mind.

She put all the wild fruits into the basket, which was half full, and carried it back to the house.

He took out two fried cakes from the house, and handed them to Gu Zhuangzhuang in front of his shining eyes, "Eat this."

Gu Zhuangzhuang was not polite at all and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Qingqing sat opposite him, "How is the situation at home these days?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang thought for a while and said, "That day, we moved Dad back to Mom's room. Grandma scolded him for half the night and even smashed the food that was sent to her. Hehe, Mom replaced it with a wooden bowl for Grandma, which couldn't be broken at all!"

Gu Zhuangzhuang seemed to be very happy when he said this, and then he continued, "The next morning, my mother said that grandma was not hungry, so she didn't let me bring her food. In the afternoon, grandma stopped scolding, but she started scolding again after dinner. She didn't scold if grandma didn't eat, but she scolded as soon as she ate."

Gu Zhuangzhuang was talking about family matters while eating fried cakes, and he was so happy that his eyebrows were about to rise.

Gu Jiashi is already making changes, and it will take her some time to fully control the situation. Gu Qingqing said to Gu Zhuangzhuang, "Go back and tell mom that if grandma is too full and has nothing to do, ask her to eat less."

"Oh," Gu Zhuangzhuang nodded first, "I'll go back and talk to mom."

"Is Dad still making trouble these days?" Gu Qingqing asked again.

"Yeah, Dad has been very nice to Mom these days. He looks forward to Mom coming home every day and talking to her. Mom has been smiling so happily these days."

Gu Qingqing frowned after hearing this. She didn't believe that Gu Daquan would suddenly change for the better. She then told Gu Zhuangzhuang, "Go back and tell mom that she would be so open-hearted as soon as dad showed her a little smile. Tell her to be more careful."

"understood."

"Where's Xiaocao?"

"Little grass! That's what it looks like!"

She felt relieved to see that there was no major trouble overall.

Seeing that it was not too early or too late, she said to Gu Zhuangzhuang, "You rarely come here, so have a meal here before leaving. I have some meat here, I will cook it for you later."

When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately sat up from the bench and said, "Sister, what should I do? Chop wood or carry water? I can do both now."

Gu Qingqing looked at Gu Zhuangzhuang who was rushing to do the work, and thought that the advice she gave to her mother last time was still useful.

Now, he knows how to earn food by using his own labor.
