After Gu Licai and his son had gone far away, the villagers came up to inquire.
"What's going on? Why are you still arguing?"
Gu Litian seemed so angry that he had aged a few years, and he could no longer straighten his waist.
Xu Ling smiled and said, "It's nothing. I caught a wild tortoise and made people jealous, so I just made a few noises."
The villagers suddenly realized that although they did not understand the whole process, it was obvious that they had not taken advantage of it, and they felt uncomfortable.
He also smiled and comforted Gu Litian with a few words.
"You, this little brother, have had a temperament since you were little that you can't take any advantage. It's not like you don't know, so you won't get angry with him!"
How could Gu Litian not know, but that was his biological brother!
Xu Ling was much better. He didn't feel anything about Gu Licai's family's breach of defense. He had no feelings, so he didn't care.
Gu Daliang sighed: "You'd better sell this bastard, it's too troublesome."
Xu Ling laughed.
"Then we can't sell it. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. It frees me from people who don't know right and wrong. Isn't this a great thing?"
Xu Ping and Xu An also had a droopy face, but they also laughed when they heard this.
"Then keep it at home!"
Fan Shiqing held Daya in his arms and watched the whole process. He shook his head at the retreating figures of Gu Licai and others and whispered: "Short-sighted people cannot be friends with."
Da Ya looked at him curiously, and he nodded Da Ya's nose: "Your father is stupid, he is a bit stupid. This happy temper is really endearing."
The father-in-law had a quarrel with his younger brother, and Xu Ling and others had no intention of continuing to dig lotus roots and went home with fifty or sixty kilograms of lotus roots.
Knowing that Xu Ling was digging lotus roots today to hold a banquet, several people simply gave the lotus roots they dug to Xu Ling. Xu Ling warmly invited them all to come and have a drink.
"Come and try the big fat pigs raised by Li Dayuan's family!"
"That's good, just go back and take a shower!"
"Don't be polite to me, come on, we'll have enough food!"
On the other side, Gu Licai took his two sons home. He was still very angry and said to his eldest son Gu Xiaozhu: "Go to Xu Ling's house and call your mother and your daughter-in-law back. What else are you going to do!"
Gu Xiaozhu went quickly.
Gu Licai knocked on Zhao's door again with his young son and gave the lotus root to his pregnant daughter.
Zhao Zhen's mother called her relatives in, and then asked Gu Yao to come out.
Gu Yao is pregnant and lies at home all day long. She doesn't dare to ask her to do any work. Her already plump body is getting better and better now.
The clothes she was wearing were also of the best quality, and one look at her showed how much the Zhao family cared about her.
Gu Licai saw that his daughter was doing well, and the joy in his heart diluted the anger just now.
"Yao Yao, you are really lucky to marry into the Zhao family. Unlike Xu Ling, who your cousin married, I am really angry!"
Gu Yao didn't have much affection for her biological father. In her last life, she was married to Xu Ling and lived a hard life. She never saw her biological father and brother being very helpful.
Gu Yao came back with her memories, but she didn't have much affection for her family members from the beginning. Who knew that after she tried every means to marry Zhao Zhen, her parents and brothers would also treat her better.
She couldn't really ignore her relatives, so she could only walk around them like this.
When Gu Yao heard her father mention Xu Ling, her heart tightened, and she pretended not to care and asked, "Why does he please you, and you don't have much contact with him?"
Gu Licai snorted: "I'm not your second uncle! Didn't you dislike Xu Ling before? Now that he has made money, he is devoted to Xu Ling. He treats him as if he is his own son. He drags you and me together early in the morning. My brother went to dig lotus roots in the pond, but he didn’t think of us for the good things he did, and he thought of me for all the bad things!”
Thinking that Gu Litian had just persuaded Xu Ling to invite the Zhao family to have a drink, he quickly ordered Gu Yao.
"Your cousin will come to your place to invite Zhao Zhen for a drink later. You have to persuade her and don't interact with them! They are trying to get ahead!"
Gu Yao thought about it, Xu Ling wanted to invite Zhao Zhen for a drink? What kind of idea is this!
Could it be that he didn't even realize that he was also a hard-working person, and he only blamed Zhao Zhen for robbing him?
The more Gu Yao thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. If villains like Xu Ling really had bad ideas, it would not be something that a good person like Zhao Zhen could do.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let Zhao Zhen go. What kind of person can a person like Xu Ling do? Who knows what deceitful and abducting people are doing out there! This kind of person will destroy his moral character!"
"Yao Yao, you are right. Fortunately, you married into the Zhao family. You can't have anything to do with that bastard Xu Ling!"
Xu Ling didn't know that he was being said bad things again, so he sneezed and rubbed his nose.
Thinking of inviting the Zhao family, he quickly asked Gu Litian, "Dad, would you like to invite the Zhao family to dinner?"
"Your third uncle is your third uncle, and the Zhao family is the Zhao family. You should be invited."
Now that Gu Litian said so, Xu Ling hurriedly went to find Gu You and asked her to go to the Zhao family to find Gu Yao and invite the Zhao family to have a drink.
Gu Tao was busy in the kitchen and was about to leave immediately after hearing this.
Xu Ling grabbed her and took her back to her room to dress up and change clothes.
Gu Yu said: "What are you doing? I'll be back soon."
Xu Ling touched Gu Tao's hand and worked for a while. It was not cold, but it was hard work after all.
He knew that Gu Yao was very kind, but Gu Yao's character was too selfish. Xu Ling was afraid that Gu Yao would look down on her privately like this, so he insisted on changing her clothes.
"Wear the clothes I bought you last time, put on some ointment, and put on the hairpin. I'll get you a basin of hot water."
Gu Tao couldn't resist Xu Ling, so he changed his clothes, washed his face again, and sat in front of the bronze mirror to comb his hair and put on makeup.
Xu Ling wasn't satisfied with watching from the side, so he started to help her draw her eyebrows, apply lipstick, and finally put on the jade earrings and silver hairpin he bought. Gu You's whole person changed drastically, and she looked like a beautiful woman.
Xu Ling hugged her from behind and looked at the woman in the mirror. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked at him shyly with affectionate eyes, feeling a little distressed in her heart.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work. You have to do so much work all day, and your hands are rough."
Gu You's nose was sore and he chuckled: "What kind of hard work do I have to do? Look at you, you are so dark and thin that you don't look good. The calluses on your feet are almost catching up with my father's calluses. You are busy outside and can't eat." It's hard to sleep well, but at least I have a place to shelter from the wind and rain at home, which is not hard work."
Gu You held Xu Ling's hand instead, her heart was full. She was very happy. Every day in front of her was happier than before. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Xu Ling looked at her and remained silent for a long time.
There was nothing wrong with Gu Yu's idea. She had never seen anything better, so she thought this was the best.
But from Xu Ling's point of view, he was very glad that he was Xu Ling. Even if he had to experience wind, rain, hardships and obstacles outside, it was better than being trapped in a small world.
After thinking about it in his mind, Xu Ling just said solemnly to Gu You: "When I make money, I will take you out for a walk. Let's watch the sunrise and sunset, see the clouds and mist in the mountains, the green camellias, gardenias, and the white walls. The glazed glass bottle allows you to take a look at my world."
