Chapter 469 Family
Ever since Xu passed away, Mr. Gu Liu has paid much more attention to these children than usual, especially the frail Lan Jie'er.

He didn't even bother to talk to Mrs. Xu, and turned around and hurried inside to see the child.

Xu followed in.

She wanted to win over Mr. Gu Liu by comforting Lan Jie'er, but she saw that Mr. Gu Liu's two sons were covered in dust and dirt, Lan Jie'er was crying and gasping for breath, and the few children she brought with her were also in disheveled clothes, and one of them had bloodstains on his face.

Before she could say anything, Master Gu Liu hurriedly picked up Lan Jie'er, patted her gently, and coaxed her softly: "My dear daughter, where does it hurt? Why are you crying like this? Daddy is here. Don't cry, don't cry."

Lan Jie'er finally stopped crying in her father's arms. She trembled and stretched out her thin index finger, pointing at the Xu family's furry child and crying, "Daddy, they are mean and say bad things. My eldest brother asked them to stop talking, but they kept talking. My second brother protected me and beat them up, and then everyone started fighting."

Xu Shizi blushed and immediately hit her youngest son on the shoulder, shouting, "I told you to come in and play with your cousins, why did you come in to fight?"

Mr. Gu Liu frowned.

Xu also said, "Hurry up and apologize to your uncle and cousins. Your aunt is gone. When she was alive, she loved you the most. You should be a loving family. Why don't you help take care of your cousins? Instead, you started a fight. You are so ignorant. You forget what I taught you at home."

Kang Ge'er immediately said in a muffled voice: "What kind of family are we talking about? We don't want to be a family with you. There's no way you can marry my sister."

Fu Ge'er also said, "That's right. We don't have a mother anymore, but we still have our grandmother, aunt and aunt to protect us. Don't you think we don't know that our mother was angered to death by you Xu family. Now you want to trick our sister into becoming your daughter-in-law and want the dowry left by our mother. You are so mean."

Gu Liuye's face suddenly darkened and he asked angrily, "What's going on?"

Kang Ge'er complained, "Not only did my cousins ​​come in and rummage through my things, they also pulled my pigtails. I refused to let them, so they said pulling pigtails was nothing, because I was going to marry into the Xu family and become their cousin's wife. They also told me to take my mother's dowry back to the Xu family. We all knew that even if a girl's family was her cousin's, she couldn't talk nonsense, so we asked the cousins ​​to stop talking, but they kept saying that, and we started fighting."

These few words made Master Gu Liu's chest rise and fall in anger. Madam Xu said quickly, "They are just children who don't know how to behave. I don't know where they heard these nonsense from. They are just talking nonsense here."

He grabbed his youngest son's ear and twisted it hard, and his youngest son immediately started crying.

Madam Xu scolded, "You are just as troublesome and ignorant as your father. She is a daughter of a marquis's mansion. Why did she marry into our family? There is a limit to your nonsense. You still think you are a child. Don't you see that your uncle is angry?"

After her commotion, Mr. Gu Liu was unable to speak anymore.

But I feel unwilling to just let it go.

At this time, Dai and others were attracted by the crying. Seeing this, they said, "If Madam Xu wants to beat the children or teach them a lesson, she should go somewhere else. The three children are keeping vigil for their mother. The children don't understand, and we adults should also know the limits."

Madam Xu looked unhappy. Qin Yuan squeezed in and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you take the children to the pavilion to sit? It's time for the fasting meal soon. The children are probably making such noises because they are hungry. After the fasting meal, those who want to listen to the monk chanting can listen to it. Those who don't want to listen can walk around in the yard to digest their food. Guards, stay outside. There may be thieves around here. Everyone should not go out at night."

Mrs. Xu had no choice but to drag the children out.

After she walked away, Dai said, "They are bullying you uncle and sister-in-law because you are young. They dare to say anything to the child. What does the child know?"

The implication is that he said this after listening to the adults' plans.

Mr. Gu Liu frowned and looked at his little daughter in his arms with pity, with tears still on her face.

His thin body only gained a little bit of weight.

There was a vague shadow of Xu between her eyebrows and eyes, but she looked mostly like him and his biological mother, Aunt Wen. A poor family like the Xu family dared to covet his daughter.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Cheng, for helping us speak up. We have some things that are hard to say."

Dai smiled and said, "I know it in my heart. I have seen many such things. People put all the blame on the children. If you go deeper, they will say that you are stingy and look down on their family. It is inevitable that you will be called a snob."

Gu Liuye also said: "Thank you Sister Cheng for protecting me. I just stood here, holding my breath, but couldn't say a word."

Seeing him in this state, Dai couldn't help but marvel at it.

Unexpectedly, after Xu passed away, he became more conscious than before.

Dai raised her hand and said, "Well, that's nothing. We are both clan members and close neighbors. If I don't help her, who will?" She looked at the clan members next to her and said with a smile, "If I hadn't been quick to speak, we would have pushed her out with a few words. She would have been unable to resist."

Everyone laughed.

At night, after the monks had their vegetarian meal and took a short rest, they began to beat drums, sing praises, and perform rituals that lasted all night.

Qin Yuan looked for a while, felt a little tired, and returned to the bedroom.

Gu Baozhu was talking to three children inside. When she saw her come back, she asked, "Are you going to rest, sister-in-law?"

Qin Yuan smiled and patted Lan Jie'er's head, saying, "No, I felt a little sleepy while listening to the monks chanting. I felt refreshed after taking a walk outside."

"Same as me," Gu Baozhu looked as if she had met a close friend.

For no reason, Qin Yuan thought of the way Mr. Gu Liu looked when he saw Qin Siyuan, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Hongye and Cuiming were tidying up things in the house.

Gu Baozhu pestered Qin Yuan to talk, and told her about all the ladies and masters who had come during the day. Seeing that Qin Yuan remembered them all clearly, she exclaimed, "Third sister-in-law has a really good memory. In the future, when she follows my mother to socialize at various houses, she will definitely not make mistakes."

Qin Yuan smiled and said nothing.

She was familiar with these people and things in her previous life, so they were nothing.

Gu Baozhu added, "Third sister-in-law, You Da praised you today, saying that if I could learn a little bit of your skills, my mother wouldn't beat me, and my life in my husband's family would be easier in the future."

Qin Yuan asked, "Why is Miss You here today? It was her mother who came here last night."

Gu Baozhu said, "She said that she went home for supper last night, and her mother and sister-in-law both had diarrhea and made a fuss for half the night, so she was the only one who came."

Qin Yuan sighed, "Funerals are the most tiring. Each family has to come three times. After all, it's for a family like ours. If they were poor and couldn't follow the rules, it would be even more difficult."

Gu Baozhu didn't care much and agreed casually, then asked, "Third sister-in-law, today You Da said that it would be better to give the death warrant to the Ninth Princess as a favor. Do you think she is here to lobby for it?"

Qin Yuan glanced at her in surprise.
