Chapter 606 It’s all here
Daliang ruled the country with filial piety and brotherhood. If one did not want to be seen as a bad person with bad morals, one was destined to live a low-key life according to the ancient code of conduct.

Moreover, since they were already there, and only a few steps away from the Gu family's old courtyard, Zhou Banxia finally went with his father-in-law, mother-in-law and others to meet Mr. Gu.

In the front is the team leader Gu Erzhu holding his little grandson. Liu has a daughter-in-law on her left hand and another daughter-in-law on her right hand. Behind them is Gu Baoya holding her eldest nephew.

Entering the old courtyard from the main gate, the first person to come out to greet him was Gu Sanlang. Gu Erzhu glanced at him, and Yu Cai handed him a food box in each of his left and right hands.

At the same time, as Mrs. Xiaotian, who was still wearing an apron around her waist, came out from the kitchen and shouted hello, Gu Yangwen also came out from the main hall.

Gu Erzhu was not surprised that his good brother was at home today. When Old Mrs. Gu left for her third son's house, she mentioned that her eldest son was at home this morning.

During the period when the autumn tax had to be paid before the end of last month, his good brother had not returned to the village, claiming that he was too busy.

Now that the autumn tax has been paid, the only debt he owes is to his younger brothers, sisters, nieces and their wives. Who would come to him to ask for money on Laba Festival? Naturally, he would stay at home.

"Second brother."

"Big brother."

The two brothers greeted each other dryly, and Liu took the opportunity to bring her daughter-in-law, daughter and grandson to pay their respects to Gu Yangwen, and then accepted greetings from her three nieces-in-law.

For a moment, the sisters-in-law and children in the yard in front of the main house greeted each other, and Old Man Gu, who was sitting in the main room, also raised his voice.

——Come in quickly.

Gu Erzhu, who was just stepping onto the stairs, paused and turned to glance at Liu. Liu immediately understood and reminded her daughter-in-law and daughter to pay their respects to the old man first.

Seeing this, Ma Shan couldn't wait to get into the main room, finish the job, and go home.

She is not San Ya, so she shouldn't chat with Da Lang's wife and Si Lang's wife. It's enough to just save face. Why should she give them a good face?

Only San Ya has a good temper.

If it were her, she would have ignored anyone who said bad things about her behind her back, or even pretended to be kind and asked people to come into the house to warm up even though she knew it was cold outside.

Zhou Banxia smiled at Ma Shan who was shaking her hand, and immediately followed Ma Shan's support and followed her mother-in-law's footsteps, going up the stairs into the main room.

The group finally entered the main room.

Gu Erzhu turned his head and glanced at Yu Cai again.

Yu Cai immediately walked forward carrying the two bundles he had taken from Aunt Cai, bowed to Mr. Gu, and placed them on the chair to his right.

After Yu Cai left, Mr. Gu, who was sitting at the head of the table, glanced at the two bundles, one large and one small, on the chair to the right and asked, "Didn't your mother go to your place at first?"

"It's at my place, this one should be at the third brother's house." Gu Erzhu said, pausing for a moment, "Those two are winter clothes, shoes and hats given to you by your mother as a gift.

"This year's New Year's gift to you two elders, I have discussed with the third brother and others, and we will send it after the Little New Year. Second uncle's family is going to hold a wedding on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, have you heard about it?"

The latter question was directed at Gu Yangwen.

The latter nodded and said, "I will try my best to find time to come back on the 25th. But how are the four of us going to give the gifts this time?"

"You and I are different. Since I separated from my family, I have received a lot of favors from my second uncle's cousins ​​this year alone."

Old Master Gu glanced at his second son unhappily and said, "Knowing that your master Gu Yangwu has become successful, you are helping your father to vent his anger in front of your second uncle, okay?"

Gu Erzhu thought he was not an unfilial son. Hearing the old man's tone soften, he was too lazy to argue about what it meant to help his father vent his anger in front of his second uncle. It made him seem like Gu Yangwu didn't know what was good for him, forgetting that his second uncle treated him well as a nephew, and he, as a nephew, was laughing at his second uncle.

Just then, bowls of Laba porridge had been brought up from his home. Gu Erzhu quickly asked Grandpa Gu to taste it first to see how the porridge he had cooked tasted.

"You made it?"

"That jar is brown sugar, specially prepared for you."

"I'm not your mother, why do you still crave brown sugar?"

Just arguing.

Zhou Banxia suppressed her laughter and lowered her head.

"Okay, I won't talk any more. Dad, I still have to take the child to my uncle's house with the child's mother. I'm going back first, you and big brother can talk slowly--"

"What's the hurry?" Old Master Gu was unhappy. He didn't even bother to take a bite. He held the small spoon and pointed at his son in the air, "Your uncles are closer than your father!"

Gu Erzhu smiled without comment. He had already stood up, so he didn't want to sit down again. He perfunctorily affirmed that you were the closest to him, and left with his wife and children without hesitation.

After watching his second son, who refused to sit down even when his father asked him to, leave the main hall in front of his granddaughter-in-law, Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment and then looked away.

Looking at the rough bowl of Laba porridge in his hand, he scooped up the porridge with a small spoon, and saw that there were also white fungus, longan, red dates, lotus seeds and peanuts in the porridge, not to mention.

Everything is precious.

How much money will this cost? He also has to send porridge to his eldest uncle and second uncle's house. What a thief son. He is so rich, but the eldest brother is still worried about Dalang's tuition next year.

Hey~
These two sons are now one like a rough bowl, and the other like this porridge, the difference is too big...

"Dad, it's good material again. Just like last time, it costs at least five taels of silver per piece in the city. Our Dalang's father has never worn such good material."

Hearing Oda's shameless yelling again, Mr. Gu subconsciously looked for Mrs. Gu who was in the house and was teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson.

Gu Yangwen pulled Xiao Tian in displeasure and scolded, "Don't think too much about your parents' things. Don't look at who gave them to you. The second child is not easy to mess with."

Xiao Tian curled her lips and glanced at Old Man Gu, "If you ask me, the second son deliberately made Dad dress decently to embarrass you and Dalang."

Old Master Gu lost his appetite even more. “Some things are not your wife’s turn to say. No matter how unfilial your second brother is, he has been filial to us old couple.

I know that the second son's family and the dignitaries who honor your mother will be remembered by someone. If you don't make up your mind to take care of it, your mother will not like you, the eldest son.

Your mother is now obsessed with keeping these things. Can she really think that she is doing this to protect herself in old age? How old are your mother and I?

You still have a long life ahead of you. We are almost 60 years old. Can we still take care of you forever? Now is the time when I can't help but think more about you.

It's not that I'm worried that your four sons won't be as filial as your four brothers. It's just that things are unpredictable, and your mother and I want to leave more room for you, the eldest son.

After your mother and I are gone, your second brother won't want to bother with you anymore given his temper. Everyone will snatch things from your mother, but your second brother will leave two things for you.

Judging from the momentum his family has, in less than two years, the second son and his family have given your mother so many good things, and I'm afraid there will be even more in the future.

When there are more good things, you won't have to keep just two things since you're the eldest son. But now if you have to convert them into silver and spend them, not only your second brother, but also Sixth Brother will make a fuss.

Liu Lang is not your second brother. You couldn't control him earlier, and now you can forget about it. Many people are on his side. Do you know what to do next?"
