Chapter 16 Talking about family affairs

"Mom, let me cook!" Liu Erni, the third daughter-in-law, said proactively.

Mrs. Gu glared at her and said, "I still don't know what your plan is. Don't even think about it. I will cook the meat that the second brother brought back myself!"

Mrs. Gu didn't give her a chance to touch the meat at all, so Liu Erni could only stop her activities, but her eyes were still wandering around the kitchen, as if she was looking for something valuable.

"Come on, let's go, I don't want you to be angry, just keep your eyes on these things in the house and take them out!" Mrs. Gu kicked the person out directly.

Liu Erni walked around the chicken coop in the backyard again. When she saw her sister-in-law had just finished feeding the chickens, she immediately stayed to chat with her.

"The hearts of these old couple are really biased. They can only see the second bedroom in their eyes. I really don't think it's worth it for the elder sister-in-law. Forget it with the third child, the elder brother is the eldest son!" Liu Erni said casually.

As expected, Chen Chunhua became angry as she expected: "In these years, our big house has been like the old scalpers in the field, working day and night, but in the end the benefits are all for the second house! Why!"

Liu Erni nodded and said: "It's strange to say that the second brother is a scholar, but he doesn't know where the money comes from to show off his wealth? Did my parents give it to me? Or did my father's previous skills pass on to him?"

When Chen Chunhua heard this, her heart moved and she hurried back to the room to discuss it with Boss Gu.

After her sister-in-law left, Liu Erni quickly searched the chicken coop. When she saw an egg hidden in a corner, she hurriedly stuffed it into her sleeves and then left as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, our eldest brother can't suffer like this anymore. My parents are too partial to the second brother. What ability does the second brother have to earn so much money? Has his father's skills been passed down to him?" Chen Chunhua thought of the previous incident of being squeezed out by her mother-in-law. , the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Dad Gu is not an ordinary farmer. He has a family recipe for wine. The yellow rice wine he brews has a unique flavor. In the past, a tavern would buy it regularly every year.

But since he got confused, he has never made yellow rice wine. Others don't know the recipe and can't make the taste, so the Gu family has lost this business.

"Where did he get so much money? He must have gotten it from selling wine recipes!" Chen Chunhua said with great certainty.

"Probably not. The second brother is a scholar. Why should dad teach him how to make wine when he has nothing to do?" Boss Gu comforted himself.

"Why is it impossible? He is your father's favorite!" Chen Chunhua said.

Boss Gu shook his head and said, "Dad actually likes Nannan the most. He used to say that he would save the best yellow rice wine and drink it when Nannan gets married."

Mentioning this sister who died young, Boss Gu felt sad for a moment.

"My daughter will get married after all. No matter how much it hurts, I won't give her the recipe. The same cannot be said for my son. You are obviously the eldest son in the family. Why don't you teach you such an important wine recipe?" Chen Chunhua asked.

Boss Gu said: "Who could have expected that dad would become confused so quickly? He didn't even have time to pass on the recipe."

"Who knows if he told his second brother behind your back?" Chen Chunhua still felt that there was something fishy in this.

Boss Gu shook his head: "If dad passes the wine recipe to his second brother, mother must know that she will never allow the recipe to be sold. The second brother's ability to make money is his own and has nothing to do with the wine recipe. "

"I don't believe he is so good at making money. This recipe should have given us a big house!" Chen Chunhua said angrily.

Boss Gu became impatient and said, "Who doesn't want the wine recipe? Are you going to ask dad now? He's so confused that he doesn't remember anything! It's not like Mom hasn't asked him before, it's useless! Can you stop making trouble!" "Chen Chunhua stamped her foot: "Gu Mingshu, who am I doing this for? Not for you and the two children! Why don't you appreciate it at all?"

Boss Gu said: "Okay, okay, you are doing this for our own good! Then should I go find my parents to separate the family now?"

Chen Chunhua quickly grabbed him and said, "That's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you want?" Boss Gu asked.

Chen Chunhua said: "The division of the family must be equal now. Even if we have a big house, we won't get any advantage. Tell your mother that we are willing to hand over all our private houses to her, and ask the other two houses to do the same!"

Her idea is also very simple. Use her small savings to get a second and rich private house.

Boss Gu said: "You should give up on this idea. Mom will not agree to it. The money earned by the second brother will be used for the second brother to pass the exam. Now it seems too much, and it will be spent in the end."

"Then don't let him rush to take the exam! Everyone brags that he is a candidate for success, but after taking the exam for so many years, he is still a child. Is it necessary to take the exam? It's a waste of money!" Chen Chunhua said.

Boss Gu suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.

Gu Mingda is indeed very knowledgeable, but he encounters unexpected situations every time he takes the exam. If he is destined to fail, there seems to be no need to waste money.

When Chen Chunhua saw her husband's expression, she knew something was going on and said, "I'm not stopping my second brother from taking the exam, but look at our family. The children are getting older day by day. The son asks for money from his wife, and the daughter needs a dowry when she gets married. Everything is... It all costs money, and the money saved by taking one less exam will be enough for Gu Yun and Gu Jin to get a wife."

Boss Gu looked struggling, with his younger brother on one side and his two sons on the other. After a long time, he said, "I will find a way to mention this to my mother."

Although the elder couple were very interested, the fact that there was meat for dinner still did not stop them from grabbing it in full swing. Not only did they grab it themselves, but they also helped their children to grab it.

"Xiaoya!" Liu Erni suddenly scolded Xiaoya.

Gu Xiaoya immediately moved faster and stuffed the meat on the chopsticks into her mouth, fearing that if she was a step too late, her mother would force her to give the meat to her brother.

Liu Erni glared hard at her daughter.

After dinner, the women cleared the table. Boss Gu Qiqi Ai Ai came to his mother's side and glanced at Gu Mingda who was standing aside.

"If you have something to say, say it, if you have something to say, let it go!" Mrs. Gu said angrily.

Boss Gu asked: "Second brother, how many times have you participated in the talent test?"

Gu Mingda remembered clearly: "Five times."

Boss Gu said: "Mom, I see that my second brother is going to Fucheng to take the exam soon. Last time I accompanied him to Fucheng, he had vomiting and diarrhea. Last time, he suddenly got cold when he entered the examination room. One time, before arriving in Fucheng, I fell down halfway and couldn't lift my arm for several days, which made me feel sad."

"Second brother, I know you are a capable person. If you had taken a normal exam, you would have been a scholar long ago, but something happens before every exam. I don't feel sorry for the money spent on the exam, but I feel sorry for the second brother. Otherwise, this Just don’t take the exam this time.”
