Oh my god, I, your eldest daughter-in-law, was on guard against everything, but your old daughter-in-law still took the opportunity to ask. Ma Shan secretly groaned and shook her head.

"I haven't heard of it. If you don't believe me, ask Yan Zi. When we were in the old courtyard at first, we never heard anyone mention how that person is doing now. Hey, it seems that your brother Liu Lang is back."

Can't even lie.

Looking at Zhang Chunyan who was stunned for a moment and then immediately shook her head, Zhou Banxia couldn't help laughing. After hearing that it was indeed Gu Wenxuan who returned home, she stopped gossiping.

She took the steps swiftly, stood up and walked out of the main hall to greet Gu Wenxuan, who also failed to arrive at the melon-eating scene, and whispered, "Your uncle was beaten up."

She didn't need to say it, Gu Wenxuan heard it on the way back from the manor. He also knew that his father had quarreled with Tian Ergou and was busy with his own business in anger.

At this moment, his father is at the manor.

"What are you arguing about? He has become so miserable but still refuses to behave himself. How dare you argue with Dad? Didn't Great Grandfather and Second Grandfather let our Dad stay?"

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "What else is there to argue about? He said he wanted justice. My father asked him to produce real evidence and he said my father bullied others by taking advantage of his power.

If our father wanted to bully others by taking advantage of his power, he could come whenever he wanted and he would have been in jail long ago. Not to mention getting away with 500 taels of silver, he couldn't even get away with 5,000 taels.

He also said that his father didn't take his uncle's family seriously, which made his father laugh. But his uncle did take them seriously and even came to their house to make trouble unreasonably.

Since my father felt that it was better for my uncle and his cousins ​​to be my nephews and cousins, there was no need to look for him. He just took my great grandfather and second grandfather away and let them solve it themselves.

Anyway, they are either uncle and nephew, or uncle and nephew. The old man even said that his son is a little too arrogant, so why should he stay here? He should just take care of his own affairs. "

In his father's words, although the widow deserved to lose her life for being unfaithful to her husband, compared to a life, Ergouzi is fine.

Still not satisfied with the result, he even brought his wife to my house to threaten her?
No bad luck!

If the neighbors hadn't come running and shouting that the old man and the old lady in the old courtyard had a fight with someone, his father wouldn't have wanted to show up.

"When I came back, Dad had already arrived at the manor. He seemed to be in good spirits and asked me if I wanted to give the place a name. What do you think of Yuyuan?
It's the "elm" in "elm tree". We have elm trees planted along the roadsides. I think it would be nice to put a big stone at the intersection of Gujiazhuang and engrave "Yuyuan" on it. "

Elm Garden?

"Yu" is a homophonic word for "yu", which means "more than".

Zhou Banxia's train of thought was suddenly diverted by Gu Wenxuan. "Okay, it sounds much better than Gu Garden. But wouldn't it be weird to put a big stone with Yuyuan engraved on it at the intersection?"

“No, for example, the manor in Zhending Prefecture, the original owner placed a rockery with inscriptions at the entrance to the manor, which means it is private territory.

If you cross the boundary of the rockery and take a step forward without the owner's permission, you may be beaten. We have the same intention here, but it's mainly for the sake of courtesy.

Speaking of which place to go, where is it, don’t we all say to go to the workshop? When the oil press and tofu shop move over there, the names will be even more confusing.”

Zhou Banxia nodded without comment. "I understand what you mean. It's the Ma family. You should know that half of Gujiazhuang still belongs to the Ma family."

"That's even more of a problem. We built the road from Gujiazhuang to the foot of the mountain. If the Ma family wants to take over the land, they can just carve words on the east side as well."

The "east" that Gu Wenxuan mentioned was another dirt road that led directly from the Ma family's residence to the entrance of Gujiazhuang Village, like a parallel line. It was also the old road that led from Gujiazhuang to the official road. Instead, this road that he and his wife funded and built was originally a smaller dirt road.

There are fields on both sides of the road. When the fields next to the Ma family were purchased, the two families had already considered that a portion of them would belong to them for the convenience of management.

To this end, the two families dug an extra section of ditch to connect the two houses while they were repairing the water conservancy project and widening the ditch to facilitate watering. Later, they exchanged wasteland at the foot of the mountain with the Ma family, which now almost divides Gujiazhuang into two.

Zhou Banxia thought for a while.

It seems reasonable to place a large stone engraved with the words "Yuyuan" outside the first checkpoint of his own workshop at the entrance of Gujiazhuang village.

However, "regardless of whether our father has discussed this with Uncle Ma or not, we'd better talk to our eldest sister-in-law and Uncle Ma first.

The more courtesy, the less blame. Now the families get along well, so don't make things awkward. Even for the sake of the eldest sister-in-law, we are the younger generation, and it will do more good than harm to lower our posture."

Gu Wenxuan naturally understood this. There is also a saying, "A good neighbor at home is better than a distant relative." A good neighbor is not a relative, but is better than a relative.

Besides, Uncle Ma is half his master. “I will go to the Ma family when I go to the manor tomorrow morning. You can chat with your sister-in-law when I come back.

Before, Uncle Ma jokingly asked me to change the name of Gujiazhuang. It’s not a big deal. My father is also arranging the relocation arrangements there.

When I came back, my father told me to move over here, and then it would be best to pick an auspicious day before December to move the oil press and tofu shop to the village entrance."

So, it’s not that I’m in a hurry to arrange the New Year gifts, but not only do I have a lot of things to arrange this month, but I may not have free time until December.

The end of the year is approaching, and there are many happy events, such as getting married and celebrating the New Year. Even if the person can't show up, the gifts will always be delivered to the door by someone else or mailed out.

It's a real headache as there are so many social interactions to deal with. The worst thing is that her mother-in-law doesn't take care of the household anymore and insists that she and her eldest sister-in-law deal with their own social interactions.

"Where are you going?" Gu Wenxuan quickly put his arm around Zhou Banxia's shoulders, "I'll go with you. Are you going to draw up a list of gifts, or look through the books to see what's in the warehouse?"

Zhou Banxia sneered.

How could she say none of that? She just wanted to go find her mother-in-law and act coquettishly to see if she could get her mother-in-law to agree to take charge of the household chores.

I forgot for a moment that there were guests in the main room. It was time to join Ma Shan in acting coquettishly to my mother-in-law. I was careless and my feet moved faster than my brain.

"The list of New Year gifts has been roughly drawn up. When I was drawing up the list, I arranged it according to the items in the warehouse. Can you help me check it?"

Gu Wenxuan didn't say yes or no. He decisively gave Zhou Banxia an answer with his actions. On the way from the inner room to the study, he asked Zhou Banxia if she still wanted to eat stinky pickles.

"Try it again after a day or two." Zhou Banxia touched the bridge of his nose, "When my parents and sister-in-law came back before, the time was too rushed.

I had just arrived home, and before I had time to ask them what they needed after visiting the manor this morning, there was a commotion at the old courtyard and someone came to our house and called out.

They were yelling and pretending not to be at home, so my mother and sister-in-law only had time to tell me and let me catch them at home before they ran away.

So what? (End of this chapter)
