Chapter 18 Family Disputes

When Liu Erni returned to Gu's house dejectedly carrying an empty basket.

But Chen Chunhua said proudly: "Third brother and sister, come and take a look. This is the dried fungus that my natal family gave me. You said my natal family is real. I have been married for so many years, and they still treat me as unmarried." The girl loves her just as much."

What Liu Erni envied the most was Chen Chunhua's treatment. Even after she got married, she was still cared about by her mother's family. A few years ago, Boss Gu drank too much and pushed Chen Chunhua. The next day, all three brothers from the Chen family came to look for trouble with Boss Gu. , Boss Gu was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot.

In addition to having no money, the Chen family almost loved their daughter to the extreme of a country family.

At this time, Chen Chunhua said in a strange tone: "Third brother and sister, my mother has been cooking in the kitchen for a long time this morning, and she always feels that there is a piece of tofu missing at home. Do you know where it is?"

Liu Erni lowered her head guiltily and said, "Maybe I made an extra piece when I was cooking. I will definitely save more next time..."

Chen Chunhua said: "This is best. If you are sent to your parents' home again, it won't make sense. But I heard from people in the village that I saw you returning to your parents' home just now. Is that true?"

Liu Erni was so crowded that she could not speak for a long time. She looked at her husband for help, but Gu Laosan's eyes were not very friendly at this time. After all, no one likes a daughter-in-law who only cares about her mother's family.

Mrs. Gu coughed hard, glanced at her third daughter-in-law, and then said: "Stop making any noise, go make lunch first, and then we will discuss selling tofu."

Mrs. Gu's opening her mouth also meant that Liu Erni's incident of stealing tofu was over.

But in fact, everyone present was dissatisfied.

Liu Erni felt that she was being treated harshly, and Chen Chunhua felt that her mother-in-law favored the third wife.

The second room had already hid aside and did not participate in the fight at all.

Money was the beginning of the dispute. In the afternoon, when we discussed who would be responsible for selling tofu, there was another dispute.

The big house and the three houses are not willing to give in to each other. They all think that they should be the ones who sell the tofu.

Gu Mingda, who finally refused to participate in the matter, made a suggestion: "Mom, if you go to the left in our village, you will find Linjia Village, and if you go to the right, you will find Chenjia Village. The third brother will go to the left, and the eldest brother will go to the right. There is a family selling tofu in the town. Yes, there’s no need to go again.”

Even with such pertinent advice, some people are still dissatisfied.

Liu Erni said: "Why did the eldest brother go to Chenjia Village? That is the eldest sister-in-law's natal family. The eldest brother is familiar with many villagers, so he will definitely be able to sell it faster."

The whole morning's quarrel has already brought out the anger between the first and third rooms. They are trying their best to suppress each other. This time selling tofu is a good opportunity for them to prove themselves.

Gu Mingda gave her a very strange look: "Third brother and sister, I don't understand what you are saying. You are going to sell tofu for the family. The most important thing is to sell out as soon as possible. No one is urging the eldest brother and the third brother. Brother to compare.”

Gu Lao San and Gu Lao San became quiet at the same time. Brothers, you look at me and I look at you.

Gu Mingda looked at Mrs. Gu again and asked, "Mom, do you want the eldest brother and the third brother to compete to see who is better at selling tofu, and hand over the tofu stall to them in the future?"

When the people in the third room of the main house heard this, they immediately stared at Mrs. Gu with burning eyes.

Mrs. Gu lowered her face and said, "You've just set up the stall and are you thinking about who will take over? I'm not dead yet!"

All three rooms in the big house suddenly became quiet.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Gu finally felt that it was better to block the situation than to open it up. Rather than staring at each other with cross-eyed eyes, it would be better for them to have money at their disposal.

"I'll give each of you a basket of tofu. After you sell it, just give me fifty cents. You can keep the extra money yourself." Mrs. Gu said.

When she said this, it was like the Gu family was now a wholesale department. The third and third bedrooms took things in her hands and sold them. She didn't care whether they sold more or less.

Who doesn't like money? As soon as these words came out, the people in the third and third bedrooms immediately geared up and wanted to show off. When they finally went out with their tofu, the house finally became quiet.

Most of the tofu was taken out by them, and some were kept at home to supply customers in the village.

Gu Mingda did not rush back to his room to study, but said: "Mom, I am going to Fucheng to take the exam this time. I want to take Yun Niang and the children with me."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she wanted to object immediately.

But Gu Mingda said: "Going to Fucheng will delay my eldest brother and my third brother from selling tofu. They will definitely not accompany me. Since I have Yun Niang with me, we can't trust our three children at home."

When Gu Mingda went to Fucheng to take the exam, he definitely needed someone to take care of him. Usually it was Gu Boss or Gu Lao San.

Because a child had been abducted by the second roommate, and the child was not under their noses, the second roommate and his wife would not be at ease.

Mrs. Gu asked: "You and Yun Niang go to Fucheng, and I will take care of the three children in person. Don't you feel at ease?"

Gu Mingda said: "Mom, I don't worry about you, it's just that the children are getting older and it's time to go out and see the world. I don't dare to say whether this will be the last time I take the exam."

Mrs. Gu knew her second son well. Seeing his persistence, she stopped trying to persuade him.

"Your wife has three children. I'm afraid she will be very busy by then." Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Mingda said: "The children are sensible and they will not cause trouble casually."

The children who he said were obedient and sensible were following Father Gu into Daqing Mountain.

"Grandpa, where is the chestnut tree you mentioned? Are there really many chestnuts left now?" Gu Zhao asked eagerly.

Dad Gu was confused and said: "Pick chestnuts... give them to Niu Niu..."

Thirteen-year-old Gu Yan, on the other hand, didn't want to go into the mountain at first, but his younger brothers and sisters had their eyes covered by the word "chestnut", so he had no choice but to follow him in, but he always looked around, fearing that something might happen somewhere. A ferocious beast jumped out and took the brothers and sisters away.

After walking into the mountain for about a quarter of an hour, Father Gu finally stopped.

He looked up at the empty branches with a sad face: "Mao Lizi... Where is Mao Lizi?"

Gu Zhao was also disappointed. Seeing that there were no wild chestnuts on the tree, he rummaged around on the ground to see if he could find any wild chestnuts hidden on the ground.

It's a pity that there are many thorn **** on the ground, but not many complete chestnuts.

Niu Niu also bowed and looked for her on the ground with her **** stuck out. Her luck was obviously much better than Gu Zhao's: "One... two... Third brother, I found several!"

She stretched out her hand and handed the pitiful chestnuts to Gu Zhao: "Third brother, don't be sad, I'll give them to you!"

Gu Zhao immediately turned from sadness to joy: "Thank you Niuniu!"

He found no chestnuts, but found several bugs. He held up one of the colorful caterpillars and said, "Sister, look, this is the treasure I just found!"

Niu Niu looked at the insect as thick as a finger and almost cried out of fear.

She couldn't understand how she could repay her kindness by giving her brother chestnuts to eat!
