Chapter 926 Fortunately Not
Liu was suddenly amused by Fang. Some people are really not good at intrigue. It's not too obvious that they are trying to form cliques in their words.

So do you want them to rent out the shop or sell it? Why think so much? Wouldn't it be better if his eldest wife didn't have to pay you back?

If the eldest wife really owed a lot of debts to outsiders, but didn't owe your family ten taels of silver, your family's reputation would be good. Would Jiulang still want to go to school?
She just didn't believe that her cunning brother-in-law would not explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly to his wife, so she pointed it out tactfully.

——Among the four brothers in her family, her younger brother-in-law is the smartest. If Fang just listens to the head of the family, she will not go wrong. The head of the family will not let her suffer any loss.

After saying that, she praised her brother-in-law for taking the trouble to keep her nephew Gu Sanlang by his side and give him guidance, so that he wouldn't turn around and throw him to her old son and his wife.

This is not something the brother-in-law would not do. He just wants to be on good terms with her older son and his wife, and doesn't want her older son and his wife to think that he is ungrateful.

After dealing with Fang, Gu Sanzhu's house was not far ahead. Liu had no intention of going in. She looked up at the sky in the west and said bluntly that she would go back first.

Fang was pondering over what she had said. She nodded absentmindedly before realizing that Liu was about to walk straight ahead. She quickly said that she would wait and see what her third sister-in-law said before going to find her.

The implication was that she should listen to what the third elder said first, and then learn it for her. Liu didn't care. If he wanted to learn it for her, she would just listen.

It's not that she looks down on the fourth sister's family. In fact, the fourth sister's family is not as smart as the third sister's family. Among her four sisters-in-law, only this one is slightly decent.

It has nothing to do with the fact that this sister-in-law is the youngest. It’s because of her family education. Her family has taken such good care of this girl. Although she doesn’t have much kindness, she is not a bad person.

After living together for so many years, only this sister-in-law is impartial in her behavior. She is not like the older sister who bullies others without knowing the reason, and the third sister is still a fence-sitter.

After parting with Fang, Liu walked a few steps forward and soon saw Gu Dahua's family walking quickly in front of the first gate on the road leading to Yuyuan.

San Ya gave birth?

Fortunately not!

After hearing the report from Gu Dahua's family and seeing that it was getting late for them to come out to pick her up, Liu couldn't help but smile. It was only a few steps away, and it was in Hedong, so there was no need to pick her up.

Not to mention that she only had a maid by her side, even if the old lady dared to fight with her, she would have to consider who would be so blind as to take sides.

It was getting late. Indeed, while I was daydreaming for a while, I realized that the last ray of sunset was about to disappear.

Liu was not surprised to learn that Gu Erzhu had not returned home yet, and that Zhou Sishun, who had met her at the tofu shop in front this morning, had not returned in his carriage either.

Something expected.

However, the two in-laws are about to come back. Even if they changed their minds after going out this morning and wanted to go in and out together, they will be back soon.

After all, it is impossible to visit several villages in one day. I have to chat with the head of each village and take a walk around the fields and the fruit groves on the hillside.

In addition, there are granaries, cellars, livestock and other things in the farm. If there was originally a processing workshop, it is necessary to check them carefully.

For example, the village where the in-laws were going to make bricks and tiles seemed not far away, and it would take at most half an hour to get there by carriage, but once there, there would be a lot of things to do, and it would be impossible to arrange everything in one day.

Therefore, even if the two relatives really split up today and went about their own business, they would definitely not stay outside until dark before getting on the carriage and coming back.

Thinking of this, Liu subconsciously took another look in the direction of the tofu shop which was on the same row as the oil press but on the left. Even though she could not see any carriages entering the village on the road ahead, she always had a feeling that perhaps a carriage would come in before she reached the intersection ahead and turned right.

For this reason, even when Liu heard Gu Dahua's family mention that her eldest daughter-in-law's mother had something to ask her and was waiting for her at her house, she could not quicken her pace.

only?

Could it be an illusion?

No matter how slowly she walked, Liu finally reached the crossroads ahead and was about to turn right, but there was still no sign of a carriage coming from the road on the right leading to the village entrance.

It was her mother-in-law. She had just turned to the right, and from a distance she could see her mother-in-law turning out from the first three-way intersection in front of her and waving her arms towards her.

Ashamed.

I'm sorry to have kept Huniu's mother waiting for a long time. Now, Huniu's mother couldn't stay at her house and came out to wait for her. I'm so sorry. What did you want to talk to her about?

At this time, the Ma family would usually have finished their dinner. What happened that made Hu Niu's mother come to her without even having dinner first?
Liu walked quickly to greet him, full of confusion, and for a moment she forgot that she wanted to verify whether her guess was wrong. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a carriage entering the village behind her.

"It looks like your carriage." Madam Ma had an absolute geographical advantage and saw two carriages coming one after the other faster than Mrs. Liu.

Seeing Liu suddenly turn her head, she didn't have time to say anything more and quickly informed that it was the Gu family's carriage, "It's not my son-in-law, I guess it's my in-laws who came back from outside."

Yes, it was a carriage. The one in front was the one the child's father took when he went out this morning, and the one behind didn't look like the one her Erlang usually took.

Although it was a little dark, the family's carriages were still easily recognizable. There was no mistake. It should be the child's father and San Ya's father who came back together.

A moment.

Before the carriage got close, a sound was heard - two voices were calling the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law in unison. As expected, they were their two relatives.

They seem to be so close to each other, but I don't know if they go in and out together throughout the day, or if they have agreed on a certain time and place to meet up and then come back together.

Liu couldn't help laughing as she glanced at Gu Erzhu and Zhou Sishun, who jumped off the carriage from the left and right as the carriage stopped slightly. She heard them ask in unison, "Where is Brother Ma?"
"Your Big Brother Ma?" Aunt Ma shook her head with a smile, "You're back, your Big Brother Ma is waiting for you at home, haha, wait a moment.

There's no need to send a carriage to pick him up. I was just kidding. Your elder brother Ma is not at home right now. He went to town to look for my Da Huzi this afternoon and won't be back until tomorrow."

Hearing this, Gu Erzhu no longer asked the driver to go to the Ma family so that he could pick up Ma Dazhuang for a meal. As for why Ma Dazhuang went to the city to find his eldest son?
Seeing that the other party had no intention of bringing up the issue, he asked his two relatives to go back first. Although he didn't know what the other party was going to say as he was holding his wife on the road, he had no choice but to pull his relatives ahead.
