Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 508 Funny Speculations
"Okay. But, but, but--" Zhou Banxia looked like she had just come to her senses, "Sister-in-law, what else can I say? I am definitely the closest to our mother."

"You are such a good girl." Ma Shan glared in mock anger, "Listen, mother, she is coaxing you again. The one closest to her is definitely not you, but her brother Liu Lang."

"Wrong, the first one is mother, the second one is Baoya, and the third one is our little Changsuo. Isn't it, little Changsuo, auntie loves you the most."

"Aunt is the best."

Zhou Banxia raised an eyebrow at Ma Shan proudly, "You have no place left, so let you line up behind our little Suocheng first."

Ma Shan picked up her little son who was full and patted him gently to prevent him from spitting up milk. She said with a smile, "Yes, luckily we can still rank fifth."

Liu listened to her two daughters-in-law talking and laughing with a smile on her face. Seeing that they had come to an end of the topic, she asked whether her eldest son had returned from the old courtyard.

Zhou Banxia shook his head and said that when Gu Wenxuan was coming back from the workshop, he met his father Gu Erzhu on the way. One of them went home and the other went to the manor.

However, Gu Erzhu asked his eldest son to pretend that he didn't know where he was going. Therefore, when Gu Wenxuan returned home, he heard that even Gu Wulang's wife was in the main hall, so he didn't come in.

Liu understood.

The old daughter-in-law just didn't point out why her eldest son was averse to Wulang's wife coming into their main hall. She also knew that her eldest son was not trying to avoid suspicion.

Not only the oldest son, but even the eldest son, for some reason, had no good impression of the cousins' wives, and were afraid that their wives would be led astray by them.

Gu Wenxuan, who was in the study in the west wing, only heard bursts of laughter coming from the main hall, and had no idea that his mother was laughing at him, her old son, in her heart.

After the laughter in the main hall stopped for a while, he began to calm down, dipped his brush in ink, and took advantage of the time before dinner to write an article.

As he was writing, it got dark unknowingly. Gu Wenxuan was just about to put down his brush and stand up to light a candle, but he didn't know when Zhou Banxia had returned to her room.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"Why am I calling you? It's just a few steps away. You don't want to pick me up, do you?" Zhou Banxia found it very funny. When she saw him taking over and lighting the candle, she simply stood there without moving.

"Have you finished talking?" Seeing that she stood there obediently, Gu Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction. "What did you talk about? Are dad and big brother back?"

"Three questions." Zhou Banxia held up three fingers and broke off one. "First, we have almost finished talking about it. Second, there are many topics to talk about.

There is only one last question. My eldest brother came back about quarter of an hour ago. He went out to the workshop to pick up our father without even taking off his coat.

At this moment, the two of them haven't come back yet, so I'm not in a hurry to remind you that it's time for dinner. You have to wait. Are you hungry?"

Gu Wenxuan put down the fire starter, shook his head and smiled, "No, Aunt Lan knew that I came down from the back mountain with Uncle Chang Qing in the afternoon, and she even prepared snacks herself.

If you weren't pregnant, I would like to bring back that honey-glazed venison for you to try. Ahem, it's getting dark, and Aunt Cai hasn't come back yet?

Impossible. Did she tell me what the situation is like in the old courtyard? Did Tian Ergouzi and his wife go back?"

Zhou Banxia rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "It's just honey-glazed venison, are you afraid that I'll be greedy? No, Aunt Cai stayed in the old courtyard before she came back. She said that your uncle seemed to have secretly run away, but when he went to the toilet, Tian Ergou followed him and said that if your uncle dared to return to the county town, he would go to the shop to make trouble.

The old lady hit him several times, but it was useless. However, the old man had already sent Sanlang and Silang to ask Old Man Tian for help, so Aunt Cai came back when she saw that the old lady was not so angry that she had to lie on the kang.

By the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. Tian Ergou’s wife is lying on your uncle’s kang and refuses to get up. She says that your uncle is a pimp.

Your aunt-in-law is so stupid that even the old lady couldn't stop her. The two of them even had a fight and she scratched Tian Ergou's wife's face.

Not only that, she also scolded her sister-in-law for not being able to control her husband, and for acting like a tyrant at her house. When Aunt Cai came back, she was still lying on the kang crying.

She said all kinds of nasty things. Not only did she demand compensation, but she also wanted Erniu to be her daughter-in-law. She said that her family's reputation was ruined by your uncle and that her remaining sons would not be able to find wives.

Aunt Cai said that the old lady didn't say anything, but she asked Erniu to stay away. She originally asked Erniu to come to our house, but it seemed that when she saw Aunt Cai was there, she let Erniu go to uncle's house.

By the way, your uncle had left the old courtyard with our father and others, but your third uncle has always stayed in the old courtyard. The old man held your third uncle back and originally wanted you to accompany Sanlang and Silang to the Tian family to ask Old Man Tian to come over, but your third uncle refused. The old man didn’t force you, but he just didn’t want you to leave.

I don't know if he said it on purpose for Aunt Cai to hear, or if he wanted the neighbors to hear it, but he shouted loudly that there was no point in having sons, and that they all ran away.

Third uncle is very interesting. Although he is soft-hearted, he also scolded the old man, "Why do you want my second brother and fourth brother to take care of you? No one's money falls from the sky."

"I don't care if my uncle and second uncle don't want to bother with you. I asked my eldest brother if he wanted to kick them out but he didn't say anything. Who owes him anything? What are you afraid of!"

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Well said, only an honest person can say this. You are both a hypocrite and you want us to be the scapegoat!"

Gu Yangwen is so beautiful! Zhou Banxia said that she had the ability to read minds and read what Gu Wenxuan had not finished. She stretched out her finger and touched Gu Wenxuan's heart.

Gu Wenxuan grabbed her hand and said, "Grandpa has found the wrong person. Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian have a deep relationship as siblings, and their daughter married Gu Yangwen and gave birth to four sons.

He will definitely stand on his own son's side. Before, the matter was not settled yet, so he didn't dare to speak up. Now that his son and daughter-in-law have come to make trouble, the eldest branch of the family is going to suffer.

It is impossible for Erniu to marry into the Tian family, and it is also impossible to give half of the shop to Tian Ergouzi, but he will have to pay some money to quell the internal strife in the Tian family.

Even if he could get ten taels of silver, it could be said that even the student was deceived by the widow, not to mention Tian Ergouzi, which could show that Tian Ergouzi did not deserve to die.

Besides, the money has been spent, and it was spent on the jade pendant in Old Man Tian's hand. If the father does not give his son an equal share, what can the son do?

At most, he is unfilial, but the Tian family is not an isolated family in their village. They have their own clan rules. No matter how unfilial they are, the sons dare not fail to support their elderly parents.

Unless they move away, or take this opportunity to push the old man to Tian Er Gouzi when the family is divided, what can the Tian brothers do if they continue to make trouble? "

Zhou Banxia frowned, "You mean, the Tian couple came here to make trouble today, and Old Man Tian already knew about it. Maybe he deliberately let his son and daughter-in-law come over?"

"That should be the case. If his son and daughter-in-law can use the reputation of seeking justice to get money from our family from the old man, it would be better.

Look, even a scholar like me who got the third place in the imperial examination feels that his son Tian Ergou was innocently deceived. Even though his nephew didn’t show up, he still spent money to comfort his uncle…”
