Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1020 Run!

Run! If you don't leave now, when will you?
Even though he's not the son, his father is quite good at coaxing his wife, which makes his mother feel sorry for him.

As expected of Gu Wenxuan's father, his parents in both his past and present lives had a very good relationship, and he never remembered them arguing.

They split up and went back to their respective courtyards. His silly wife was indeed still waiting for his return, but why were there so many things in the main room?
"These are the things Mother helped me pick out for Dajiang." After instructing the maid to serve the midnight snack, Zhou Banxia turned around and, seeing his expression, immediately understood his meaning and offered an explanation.

Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood, thinking to himself that it was a problem that his understanding mother would consider. He had to admit that his mother was the best mother-in-law in the world.

He's already proactively helping his daughter-in-law support her younger brother again, not only asking her to prepare more things for him, but also personally picking out a lot of things for him.

Of course, his mother is also the best mother in the world. He, as her son, is blessed. The problem of a son being caught in the middle in a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship simply doesn't exist.

As for his son, even though his wife seems easy to talk to, he'll definitely be very picky when he finds a wife. Only a wicked mother-in-law could become his mother.

Hey, where's your son?
"Your son is asleep, you don't need to watch him anymore. Why don't you go back to your room and take a bath? After a good bath, you can eat, read a book, and then rest."

Gu Wenxuan looked away and nodded, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He quickly shook his head, "I won't read tonight, I'll just wipe myself here."

You reacted quickly!
Zhou Banxia glanced at him with amusement, then turned and went back to her room. Without a second thought, he followed and asked softly, "Has the banquet over there ended?"

"Oh, not bad, you're well-informed. Even while you were at home recovering from childbirth, you knew about the banquet at your great-grandfather's house. It's over now, anyway, no more food has been served at my table."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but pat Gu Wenxuan, who was walking with his arm around her from behind, and said with a smile, "But I'm really sorry, is the main table still your brothers-in-law's table?"

"Nephew's table".

"Grandpa will agree, you're kidding me, right? When has Grandpa ever refused to let you sit with him?"

"Don't change the subject. Didn't I tell you to rest inside? Why are you in the main room again? Don't tell me you only went out when you heard me come back. Tell the truth."

"Don't scratch your itch!" Zhou Banxia was so frightened that she quickly grabbed his hand. "That's how it is. Besides, you've been lying down all day, and your bones are going to hurt."

"Don't worry, I didn't walk much. I promised my sister-in-law I wouldn't go any further; she'll teach me light-body kung fu later, which way is light and which way is heavy. How could I be ungrateful?"

You should have your name changed; you should be called Zhou Youli!
"Besides—"

"Have you taken a shower?"

You have such a keen nose!

Zhou Banxia chuckled and shook her head. "I just rubbed it with ginger water. My scalp didn't get wet, and I only wiped the ends of my hair with a hot towel."

You're so clean!
Gu Wenxuan withdrew his hand from her hair. "Next time you want to use a hot towel to dry your hair, remember to do it during the day when the sun is strong. Better safe than sorry."

"Okay. When you came back, were my dad and the others still at my great-grandfather's house?" Zhou Banxia quickly changed the subject. "Dad didn't drink too much, did he?"

"No. Perhaps because everyone has to get up early tomorrow, apart from Uncle Changping who initially encouraged everyone to drink, no one urged anyone to drink. Basically, everyone was just eating their food."

It was almost like fighting for food. Your dad was even worried I wouldn't be able to get any, so he put some food on my plate. When I came out, your dad was still at your great-grandfather's house, but he was going back soon. I heard your mom talking outside, inviting everyone to come over for a visit sometime. She was probably coming out from the back of the house to go home when she said that.

As she spoke, Gu Wenxuan waved her hand to decline her offer to help him get the towel from the washbasin stand, "And your brother-in-law, he's already waiting with his daughter on the side."

Your brother-in-law had mentioned beforehand that your eldest sister was home alone, and he needed to take the children back, so I walked back, leaving the carriage for his family.

Yes.

Her older sister wasn't at her great-grandfather's house tonight. I heard they were supposed to go together, but apparently her in-laws had a fight in the afternoon, and her mother-in-law was staying at her house.

Her eldest sister is now living with her husband's family, but they don't live together as a whole family. Although they haven't separated their households yet, they still live in the small courtyard that her eldest sister and her husband bought.

She hasn't been to that small courtyard yet. It's said to be not far from her husband's family's courtyard. When the commotion started, her older sister immediately coaxed her mother-in-law to come over and help.
Gu Wenxuan thought his wife was sneaking up on him and wanted to whisper something. How far was her older sister's courtyard from her husband's house?

He seemed to have said before that they were about 500 meters apart. "Not far, not close either. One is to the east of Lijia Village, and the other is to the northwest of Lijia Village."

It was roughly one side facing the town, and the other side facing the main road and market. Wasn't the reason your brother-in-law chose that courtyard because it was close to the market?

That means it's impossible for her older sister to hear the argument on the other end. It seems her older sister, who is pregnant, wasn't worried about gossiping, but ended up getting to know her in-laws' gossip!

Zhou Banxia nodded, suppressing a laugh. "So it's not that close. Even if their Li Family Village isn't as big as our Qinghe Village, it must still have about a hundred households, right?"

"Yes, Qianli has a much larger population than your maternal grandparents' hometown, Houli. Qianli is closer to the town, so their lives are much better, and they have a larger population."

Furthermore, although the Qianli and Houli families are said to share the same ancestor, the Qianli family actually settled in Qingyang County much earlier than the Houli family. The Houli family essentially joined them.

The ancestors of the three grandfathers and their descendants in the Li family were lucky; that period coincided with the imminent founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, when almost all the previous dynasty's hierarchical systems were abolished.

So, her maternal grandfather was so smug about something, and he looked down on her father. He was just a son born of a concubine, yet he thought his bloodline was so noble.

The only thing to be proud of is that, perhaps due to genetic factors, their children are much more handsome than the average person. Apart from that, what other advantages do they have?
They're not even as good as the Tian family. Even though the old lady of the Tian family was a maid who remarried into a coachman, at least she left her grandson a jade bracelet.

That jade bracelet could be pawned at a pawnshop for five hundred taels of silver, but her grandfather has nothing!
"How do you know he doesn't have anything good in his hands?" Gu Wenxuan suppressed a laugh and pressed a hot towel against his wife's face.

Zhou Banxia picked up a hot towel and wiped her face. "Yes, we'll buy land as soon as possible."

"Perhaps they bought it but didn't mention it—"

"Impossible! The reason my father was able to keep the purchase of the land a secret was largely due to Manager Wang's help. Who does he know? Unless it was Bai Qi who handled it."

This is unlike a red deed that requires registration at the county government, but why doesn't he ask for it? Isn't he worried about someone taking over his land? I wouldn't dare, but he has the guts?

It's not that I'm underestimating him, but with his fickle temper that changes faster than flipping through a book, who would like him? And who could he trust? Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore, he's a spoilsport!

Honestly, of all things to say so late at night, I had to bring him up with you. Anyway, back to the point, did my dad mention the brick factory's progress to you tonight?
