Chapter 525 Catching up
Some people are like Zhou Sishun's father-in-law, who made such outrageous mistakes but still thought it was no big deal for him to teach his son-in-law a lesson. There are also fathers-in-law like Liu Laoye.

He knew he was in the wrong.

When he saw that his brother-in-law liked his daughter, not only did he not give her any dowry, he also asked for a gift. Thanks to his brother-in-law who helped his family settle in Liujia Village, no one bullied him.

He also knew that because his in-laws looked down on his family, his daughter suffered a lot of bullying in her husband's family, and even his two grandsons suffered a lot of grievances because of his momentary confusion.

It is impossible for him to not bear grudge against his in-laws. No matter how poor he is, he would never let his daughter become a concubine, otherwise, how could the Gu family despise her.

If the child's grandfather had not destroyed the family business on his own initiative, why would the Liu family's eldest daughter have to marry into a peasant family and let her whole family suffer humiliation?

But after all, he is the father of his brother-in-law and the grandfather of his grandson. Liu Laoye is too lazy to argue with such superficial relatives, but that doesn't mean he will accept the belated apology.

If it weren't for his grandson working hard, marrying a good wife and passing the imperial examination, and if Old Man Gu hadn't offended his children and grandchildren so much, how could they be willing to please him?

He smiled, and without waiting for the chair to warm up, Uncle Liu stood up and took his wife and children to leave, as if no one could stop him.

What a pipe dream it is to use him as a raft and hoist a banner to live in the home of his grandson whom he dislikes. Even though his grandson has the surname Gu, he still has half of his Liu family blood.

"Grandpa!...Grandma!...Uncle!...It's me, slow down, it's me, Liu Lang, slow down, luckily we caught up, why are you in such a hurry.

I heard my father send someone to say that he couldn't stop you, so I was so scared that I ran to the front yard, but I was still a step too late. You were so fast that I couldn't catch up with you even if I didn't ride a horse. "

"This kid..." Grandpa Liu laughed, "Don't get off the bike when you're done. It's so cold, why are you catching up with us? Didn't you tell your father to come back in a few days?"

"Don't even mention my dad. I don't believe you'll stay at my grandma's house for a few days. Even my wife has been deceived by you guys so much that she doesn't believe it.

This time she specifically cleaned up your yard with my eldest sister-in-law first, and she also told my mother last night that you are usually busy, but it is cold today and there is nothing to do in the fields, so it is just right for you to stay for a few more days. Now that you are here, don’t even think about running away. But you are so lucky that even my mother didn’t have time to run away.”

Uncle Liu and others laughed.

Granny Liu felt sorry for her grandson who was being bitten by the wind while riding on the horse, and her face turned red. "I know, I know. After Laba, I will definitely stay at your house for two days.

Go back quickly, it's cold and windy outside, live a good life with your wife, this child is a lucky charm for your husband, you can't treat her badly, look, you are getting nagging again when you are old--"

"No, an old man is like a treasure in the family. I, your grandson, miss you and talk to me more often. Then it's settled. I'll pick you up at home on the ninth day of the lunar year."

As he spoke, Gu Wenxuan looked back. Fortunately, the carriage was moving at a decent speed and finally arrived. "Uncle, there's nothing good behind, so I won't take you home."

"What?"

This was what the eldest cousin of the Liu family blurted out, his accent was completely localized, and Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud, "You are not kind, brother.

Didn't I say that you should stay here tonight? Let's have a good chat. I have a bad temper, but my brother is not a good person. Be careful or he will punish you later."

"He dares."

"How about we go back?" After joking for a while, Gu Wenxuan got back to the point, "It's not that my second aunt and cousin's wife and cousin didn't come, but my mother asked you to take them back.

It really wasn’t anything expensive, just some food, and some hair flowers that my wife and sister-in-law gave to my cousin’s wife and sister-in-law, and they also asked them to come over to their house to play.”

Cousin Liu looked at Uncle Liu, who was turning his head to look at Grandpa Liu.

Gu Wenxuan turned around and waved towards the stopped carriage with amusement. Zhiming ran very fast, called out "Second Young Master", and saluted to everyone in the Liu family.

You Zhiming escorted everyone from the Liu family back to Liujia Village. Gu Wenxuan had nothing to do after that. When the two carriages set off again, he didn't hesitate.

When his grandmother and others urged him to ride back quickly, they set off at the same time as the carriage, one heading towards Liujia Village and the other towards the manor.

Riding a horse in such a cold weather is cold enough. Gu Wenxuan thought he had a good physique, but when he galloped back home, his face was almost frozen by the cold wind.

"No need to push it around, just accept it, okay?" When Gu Erlang saw his brother coming back, he quickly pulled him into the house to avoid the wind and handed him the hand warmer in his hand.

Gu Wenxuan was shocked and teased, "When did you start to act like a sissy and come in and out holding the hand warmer? It seems that you are still too weak, brother."

"Be serious."

Gu Wenxuan cleared his throat and said, "I won't let them push each other around. It was originally a return gift, but it's just a little more than a return gift.

It's hard to say who is at a disadvantage. The wine brewed by my grandfather's family is mostly consumed by us, except for those who come to visit us. We don't charge him much for it."

Gu Erlang shook his head without commenting, "You two were the first to be generous. If grandpa didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't have given birth to children like our mother and uncle.

Don’t think our grandma has no opinion. Grandpa has the final say in everything. She just came from a weak family and developed a habit. She is not confused.

Look at the two daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law she chose, both of them are capable. Only our old lady has a very high opinion of herself. I don’t know where she gets the confidence to look down on our grandmother.

No matter how poor some people are, they still have knowledge, which is a hundred times better than her who is illiterate and tactless, staying with her daughter-in-law and not returning to the old house until now.

He is so old, but he still ignores Silang's wife and thinks that the gift list is only for Silang's wife to check, and he acts like this granddaughter-in-law is so good.

Instead of bringing the eldest daughter-in-law, he brought Silang's wife. She didn't look at her daughter-in-law and didn't say anything. The two granddaughters-in-law also said they would sort it out later, and they couldn't see the outline yet..."

Listening to Gu Erlang's increasingly quiet words as they walked, if Gu Wenxuan didn't have good hearing, he would have almost missed what his elder brother was complaining about.

He was too lazy to ask how Silang's wife got into the backyard. She just accompanied the old lady in, and the old lady probably didn't know that Silang's wife had severely offended his sister-in-law.

Even if his wife hated him to death, as long as they didn't come to a point of falling out, she would be very tactful and show her magnanimous side, but the eldest sister-in-law was not like that.

When his sister-in-law hates someone, she wishes everyone around her would join her in hating that person, and it would be best to have no contact with them, out of sight, out of mind.

"Where's the old man, is he still here?"

"Just left. Our father has to go to the ancestral hall to send some wine and food to Fifth Grandpa. Fifth Grandpa is a very particular person. It just so happens that he and Uncle are sending the old man back to the old courtyard."

No wonder his father wasn't there. He thought he had gone to the backyard. Gu Wenxuan nodded to show that he understood. "Fifth Grandfather is a good guy."

Visiting the ancestral hall and inspecting the ancestral graves, the clan could give so many benefits, but this little old man just walked on one leg and did good deeds for his stepson all year round.

"Anyone in their family is fine, and the adopted one is also very dutiful and filial. Well, let's not talk about it. I drank some wine and feel a little sleepy now. I want to go back to my room and take a nap."
