Chapter 148: Why are you looking at me?

Aunt Liu came over and smiled: “Old Lady, Gu Laoer is filial. He fed you fine food and made you a sheepskin coat along the way. When you get here, he gives you the best house to live in.”

“What else do you want?”

“Let me advise you. As the old saying goes, it’s difficult to be the head of a family unless you appear to be stupid and deaf. They are parents themselves. Who can stand your scolding? You should stop interfering in their affairs in the future.”

Old Lady Gu was unhappy and glared: “Sixth brother’s wife, are you teaching me a lesson?”

Aunt Liu smiled and said: “How dare I? I’m just saying something fair.”

The eldest aunt smiled gratefully at Aunt Liu: “Sixth aunt is right.”

She turned around and glared at Mrs. Qian, “It’s all because of you who talk too much. You always instigate the old lady to make trouble. I don’t think you’ll live a good life in the future!”

How can she be blamed for this? Mrs. Qian felt that she was wronged: “What’s wrong with me?”

“Is it right for my second brother-in-law to make money by himself and not take my mother to enjoy the good life?”

“No matter how hard you try, it doesn’t make sense!”

The Eldest Aunt snorted: “It’s very clear that you don’t think about your mother-in-law, you just want to make a fuss and make people hate you. Your family will be lonely sooner or later!”

Why am I hated by people?

Mrs. Qian opened her mouth to refute, but the eldest aunt had already helped the old lady into the room.

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Mrs. Qian, glanced at Mrs. Chen’s room, and turned away.

At dinner time, the men from each household came back one after another.

Except for Zhang Laoda. After all, his injury was not fully healed, so he didn’t go out at all.

His wife took Xiao Cui to the city to find a job as a laundry worker and didn’t come home until it was dark.

The men from each family learned this shocking news as soon as they got home.

Gu Laoer’s family bought land and a house, and they were moving.

Everyone had a feeling of being abandoned. Some felt nothing, while some felt heavy.

They had come together all this way, and they lived and ate together, so their feelings were deeper than before in the village.

Gu Laoer was about to move out, so what should they do?

Continue to live there?

It was obvious that the young master lent them the house for Gu Laoer’s sake.

No, they didn’t lend it to them at all, they just stuck with it!

They went to the city to find work these days, and they almost figured out the market in the city. Renting a house in the city, just a single room, ranged from one hundred to several hundred coins a month.

How many taels of silver would it cost a year?

Who could afford it?

The village chief got the news and hurried to find Gu Zhang: “Zhang’er, are you planning to move now?”

Gu Zhang nodded.

“You bought the land?”

Gu Zhang nodded again.

As they were talking, the Eldest Uncle and Gu Rong also came. They didn’t say anything, just stood in the main room and looked at Gu Zhang silently.

Gu Zhang felt uneasy: “Why are you all looking at me?”

A figure flashed at the door, and Zhang Laoda covered his chest and Gu Zhong came in one after another, both looking at Gu Zhang eagerly.

Aunt Huang had been watching the movement here for a long time. She thought that Gu Laoer’s family had made such a fortune in an instant, and it was estimated that everyone wanted to ask about the way to make money.

At this time, seeing that the men in charge of each household had gone there, she panicked and quickly turned back to call Shanzi: “Shanzi, you also go to Uncle Gu’s house to see what everyone is talking about.”

Shanzi said in a muffled voice: “I won’t go, you go if you want to go.”
