In the Gu family, not only Gu Erzhu, Gu Sanzhu, Gu Wulang, and Gu Yuling who had gone out early in the morning, but also Gu Laosi and his wife came with their children.
Gu Erzhu had a headache.
I don't know where the fourth child heard that the Zhao family had left the job of opening a shop selling pancakes in the county to Sanya. No, Lai had to wait for Sanya to come back.
"Fourth brother, if you can help it, can the second brother agree to it? Stop making trouble. It's not good if your brother-in-law hears it. He won't think you are trying to live with him."
"No, third brother, I wouldn't dare to rob him from anyone. How could I not know that he is still Sanya's uncle, and the second brother still wants his brother-in-law to take care of Wulang.
No matter how much I fool around, I know it's good or bad. After all, Sanya is a nephew-in-law, not a niece. I just want to know why Sanya doesn't agree and doesn't need her to pay. ”
"Liu Lang's wife is not short of money -" Gu Sanzhu patted his lips, "This mouth is not about the money, it's because Liu Lang is good at studying."
Although he was telling the truth, Gu Erzhu looked at his third brother dumbfounded and said, "Okay. I'll just tell you the truth. That's what happened."
Gu Laosi looked at him sadly, "Are you still my second brother? I already told you -"
"Okay, what about this deal? Sanya wants to give it to her sister-in-law. Huniu doesn't want Sanya to owe the Zhao family favors. Let me tell you this, do you understand?"
Gu Laosi had thought of this before he came.
Since Liulang's wife promoted all her elder brothers and husbands to be stewards in the workshop, it was natural that Erlang's wife would not be left behind as her elder sister-in-law.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Erlang's wife deserved to be called Hu Niu. She was too tiger to think that Liulang's wife owed favor to the Zhao family. It was hard to say who owed favor to whom.
Before Liu Lang could take the county examination, Third Master Zhao personally visited his second brother's house and then took the pancake away. Yesterday, Third Master Zhao went to the workshop in person to congratulate him.
No need to think too much.
Zuo was still Liu Lang's daughter-in-law's backer, who was more powerful than Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao's eldest brother. Otherwise, having Mr. Zhao come to visit would have been enough to give him face, so Mr. Zhao would not have had to rush back from the capital in person.
"Second brother -" Gu Laosi thought about the words, "I understand what you said. It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude. Third brother, go and accompany your brother-in-law first, lest he think that we three brothers don't want to see him."
< br>
"No, my brother-in-law is teaching Wu Lang in that room. Your third brother, I am not stupid. If you want to send me out, do you want to force your second brother to agree to you?
No, Fourth Brother, who doesn’t know that Liulang’s wife is filial, but her children’s filial piety should not make it difficult for our second brother to be a good man, do you understand?
Just say that my fifth brother is fine, your third brother, I can't think of my second brother and Liulang's wife to have a good talk. My fifth brother has been at home like Liulang's wife and her brother-in-law for a long time?
But I can't say, it's you. If you hadn't spoken to me earlier and told Wu Lang to go to your father-in-law to learn some skills, I wouldn't have dared to say anything to make it difficult for you.
This time, if my second brother hadn't asked me if Wu Lang wanted to follow my brother-in-law, and said that Liu Lang and his wife wanted their fifth brother to be closer to home, I wouldn't have dared to speak.
As for the children, they are really good children. If there are benefits, they will not fail to promote our own family members. They must have their own ideas and feel it is inappropriate if they do not mention it.
Look at this time, are they the same as the last time when they asked my eldest daughter, Sanya, to go to the house to make pancakes? No need for the second brother to mention it, Sanya said it herself, right? ”
Third brother is the best to you, can it be the same? Gu Laosi pursed his lips and nodded, "Second brother, third brother, do you know why I told Wu Lang not to go to my father-in-law's house in February?"
In February?
Gu Erzhu reacted quickly. The old man must have been talking about the time when the woods started clearing the ground, and Wu Lang did come to work at that time.
"Didn't my brother-in-law say that time when he saw me, he wanted me to ask my second brother to form a partnership? Starting from opening a grain store together, he said that as long as the second brother agreed to join the partnership, he could do any business.
I was tired of hearing this, and when I told my second brother that he would not open a shop in partnership with others, he became displeased with me. ”
As he spoke, Gu Laosi hesitated for a moment, "Originally, he promised my wife last year that we would open a grain store in the county in partnership and let me be the shopkeeper.
Second brother, I don’t mean to blame you for this, otherwise I would have asked my mother to find you. I don’t understand who is closer between my brother and my brother-in-law. ”
Gu Erzhu believed this 50%.
Just like he knew the temperament of the fourth brother, the fourth brother also knew that it was useless to cry to death. It was impossible for him, the second brother, to do business in partnership with the Fang family. Even if he didn't have to give him half a copper, he wouldn't have anything to do with his sister-in-law's natal family.
"He is holding me tight now, thinking that I have to be helped by him, and I don't want to talk to him anymore." Gu Laosi sighed, "My Gu family is not empty.
You don’t need to tell me, second brother, I’ll tell Liulang and his wife later. If that doesn’t work, I’ll work as a peddler. ”
Oh, it’s time to make a career.
I'm thinking of the last option. It's scary. I ask Sanya to sell the pancreas. Not to mention Sanya, your second brother, I dare you to take it out and spoil the market price?
"Back, the Rokuro couple are back."
Gu Sanzhu looked at his second brother, then at his youngest, scratched his head, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia entering the courtyard gate, and he was immediately overjoyed.
Gu Wenxuan was surprised.
Why don't you go inside and sit down?
"Third uncle, old uncle, dad." Gu Wenxuan stepped forward quickly and bowed in salute.
Zhou Banxia caught up with Fu Shen and saluted.
"Your old uncle is looking for you young couple." Gu Sanzhu was afraid that he would speak too slowly, "If it's going to be difficult, forget it——"
"Third brother!"
"It's okay." Gu Wenxuan smiled, "Let's sit in the room for a while. Dad, have you eaten?"
"Eat. You haven't eaten yet?" Gu Erzhu immediately waved his hand, "What time is it? Dad and your third uncle will go to the study to accompany your old uncle first, and then go in and eat."
"The old uncle is here, then I want to say hello to the old uncle first.
Wife, you go in first and tell our mother, I will go in immediately. ”
Outside, Zhou Banxia always obeyed her husband's orders and blessed her obediently. After they entered the large study room in the front yard, she returned to the inner courtyard.
Mrs. Liu and her group were in the backyard. Zhou Banxia asked Aunt Cai to report to her that the couple was back, and then go to the backyard after washing their faces.
What's this kid doing here? Mrs. Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, especially when she learned that her old son and daughter-in-law hadn't had lunch yet, so she quickly gave her orders.
Today's lunch was early because the child's father came back early and there were guests, so she ate it early. She didn't expect that her son and daughter-in-law would not come back from the workshop.
Fortunately, at that time, I thought that because Sanya was too troublesome, she might as well go home to eat instead of setting up a small stove in the workshop, so she specially left the food.
After meal.
Gu Yuling and his wife, Gu Wulang, were busy preparing for the oil paper processing workshop, so they took the first step to say goodbye and leave.
It's still the study room and living room in the front yard.
Present were Gu Erzhu and his three brothers.
Zhou Banxia, who was invited to the scene, knew why Gu Laosi came today. After Gu Laosi finished speaking, she looked at Gu Wenxuan, waiting for his answer.
