Chapter 1089 The saying "A nephew follows his uncle" is no joke
Gu Erzhu thought he was too busy. If someone else came to his door without his notice, he wouldn't rush back. But his second uncle was neither his eldest uncle nor his great-uncle.

The saying "a nephew follows his uncle" is no joke.

The eldest son is like his maternal uncle, good at putting on airs; the fourth son is like his maternal uncle, all talk and no action; and the third son is exactly like his maternal uncle, clumsy with words but good at working.

The second son, who was neither the eldest nor the youngest in the family, was not favored. At least the second son had his older brother to care for him, but the second uncle was gone.

Not being bullied by his brothers, the second uncle was still protecting his father, and the situation got so bad that his maternal grandfather had to separate the family and escape from that house.

Otherwise, no matter how much money his maternal grandparents had saved for their funerals, his second uncle, the second son, would have to work for both of his brothers' families, not to mention himself.

His maternal grandfather was just like his old man; the eldest son was his lifeline, even less important than the old man, who at least had only one son on his mind.

His maternal grandfather was incredibly capable. He had three sons: the eldest son in the palm of his hand and the youngest son in the back. Of those three sons, the second son was adopted, even though the eldest grandson was born to the second son.

Earlier, he had been thinking that his eldest uncle might not be his maternal grandfather's biological son, just as people were saying. He wondered who his maternal grandfather was trying to impress, so he wouldn't dare not favor his eldest son.

Of course, it's hard to say for sure now that the eldest uncle is definitely the maternal grandfather's biological son. Ever since the old uncle took out that bracelet that could be sold for five hundred taels of silver, it's hard to say whether he is or not.

His uncle, that scoundrel, slammed his fist on the table and declared that he wanted a share of the bracelet and silver. Fine, then go to the clan chief's grave and redistribute the family property, and see who should rightfully take the lion's share!
That's hilarious!
Everyone thought that his mother was so angry because her beloved younger brother had his eye on her granddaughter that she stopped talking to her family. That's completely irrelevant.

There are some accounts that cannot be brought up.

Once you look into it, no matter how many good things the old man left behind, the fact that his maternal grandmother was a maidservant who escaped from the master's house is unpleasant to hear.

Even though he had his eye on Sanya and Liulang, he couldn't possibly betray his own son. So he went to great lengths to find out which master Sanya was serving in the Gao family.

Not all maids are the same. Even the most unassuming maids are more innocent than concubines. If those old grievances are brought up, whether true or false, his mother will be furious.

Fortunately, the second uncle was eager to stay away from his brothers, and no matter how much the eldest uncle tried to persuade him to divide the bracelets and silver, he was unmoved, so the Tian family's reputation was not completely ruined.

"...It's been almost a month since the last rain. The wheat harvest is just around the corner, so we need to put some effort into it."

Front yard and back hall.

Seeing that Uncle Tian was not used to being treated like a distinguished guest and sitting in the main hall of the front yard, Gu Erzhu invited him to move to the back hall after a short while.

Together with his eldest cousin, who was also his second maternal uncle's eldest son, they went to the back hall, which was more appropriate for receiving close family guests, and even the tea was replaced with wine.

In the back hall, around a square table, uncle, nephew, and cousin sat together, drinking wine and chatting about everyday things. Their conversation eventually turned to the fields.

Gu Erzhu was not surprised to hear his second uncle remind him about the rainfall since the beginning of spring, since his second uncle always talked about the harvest in the fields.

Naturally, he knew without even thinking that after his second uncle said those words, he would again pretend not to understand and look down on his second nephew, and then praise his third nephew.

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? Putting aside the past, no one works in the fields anymore. What do you know about farm work? I'd rather talk to your brother later..."

snort!
I knew you'd say that; you two, uncle and nephew, know nothing about farming!

Gu Erzhu muttered to himself, rolling his eyes at his older cousin sitting opposite him, who was secretly gloating: "Don't be so smug. I'm getting scolded, and you're getting beaten up." "...Third brother, he won't starve anywhere. As for you two, I'm not trying to be mean, but never mind, I won't say anything more. I know you two don't like this."

"Where's the third brother? Didn't we say someone was sent to call him? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Seeing Uncle Tian craning his neck to look outside halfway through his sentence, Gu Erzhu and his cousin smiled at each other, "We're almost there, we'll definitely go and call Lao Si to come along."

Uncle Tian really wanted to ask what the fourth brother was doing here, but thought it best not to say it. Instead, he said, "Your mother didn't spoil the fourth brother for nothing."

Gu Erzhu knew what his second uncle meant by that. He was saying that his maternal grandmother had spoiled his uncle's unfilial son for nothing, and that the unfilial son had even given birth to an unfilial grandson, which was extremely shameful.

"The fourth son and the uncle are not the same thing. The uncle-in-law does not spoil the fourth son. Even though my aunt used to love the fourth son, she would always consider which son he would live with in the future."

My aunt insisted that her eldest son marry her niece, which was a step ahead of my grandmother's thinking. She had already considered that she would live with her eldest son and daughter-in-law when she got older.

My dear aunt, don't worry about it. I'm not going to say anything more. You, my uncle, and I, the three brothers combined, are not as smart as my aunt alone.

"If it weren't for my aunt's complete indifference yesterday, even before, and even if it were Erzhuzi who couldn't control Dazhuzi, my aunt wouldn't have let my eldest sister take charge."

You're just spouting nonsense!
"Who is your aunt?" Gu Erzhu couldn't help but glare. "She's my own mother. You're saying bad things about my mother to my face? You don't want me as your brother anymore!"

Tian's older cousin gave him a sneer, "Only you are blind and heartless. Your mother made your father return those few dozen acres of land to you. You deserve to be stabbed!"

Gu Erzhu was so annoyed by the retort that he wanted to kick the man out. "You foul mouth! No wonder my grandfather doesn't like you, his eldest grandson. Second Uncle, why don't you just beat him to death?"

Uncle Tian laughed heartily, scratching his head, "Your second uncle is just like me, eating his son's food and spending his son's money. I can't control your second uncle."

"That's heartbreaking, hahaha, you still want my dad to be on your side? Quickly drink this cup of wine and apologize to me. What are your plans for tomorrow?"
It's not that I, as the eldest nephew, can't see my aunt doing well. Dazhuzi is just like my uncle. His seniority is what it is. The more you give him face, the more your son will suffer.

As for being a person, Erzhuzi, you can't have it both ways. I'll say it again, my aunt isn't a fool. No matter how you think about it since you were little, my aunt has always figured it out.

"If you give in, you lose. My grandfather had four children, and my aunt is the one who resembles him the most. Don't even mention you; if my aunt were to have any designs on you, she could easily control your father!"

Sigh, I've heard these words countless times before, but hearing them again now doesn't bother me at all. Times have truly changed.

Gu Erzhu didn't know whether he was originally unfilial, but had just become used to being praised and thought he had to support the family, or whether a series of events had completely chilled his heart.

Hearing his older cousin say this again, it actually made perfect sense. No matter how much he yielded, he was still an unfilial son who didn't care about himself.

"If you ask me, none of you three should go to Dazhuzi's place tomorrow. Just have your sister-in-law take your two daughters-in-law there."

"Boss—"

"Dad, let me finish. I'm not trying to incite conflict between Erzhu and his brother, it's just that I've seen through Dazhu. He's not even as good as my eldest uncle."

Do you think Erzhuzi doesn't know that Dazhuzi got involved in Ergouzi's despicable deeds? If he hadn't, I would have already pinned my grudge on Erzhuzi and made him settle things.

"If you don't listen to how Uncle berates Erzhuzi, you can tell what's going on. It's only because Uncle is brainless; without Erzhuzi's secret help, could five hundred taels of silver have settled this?"
