sister-in-law

Chapter 109
The annihilation of the Western Expeditionary Army means that Gu Zhang is also - gone.

Su Ruoli was stunned when he heard the bad news. How could such a lively young man just say no?

God is really short-sighted, but the day Gu Zhang set off from Qingquan City, he had prepared for the worst. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still failed to come back alive.

Although they were only a couple in name, the kindness, bravery, tolerance, and innocence of that young man were all vivid in my memory. When I closed my eyes, it seemed that he was smiling right in front of my eyes.

Su Ruoli only felt a tight pain in her heart, and she had no strength at all, as if she was immersed in ice water.

A good Mid-Autumn Festival was washed away by this bad news.The big table was full of dishes, and no one moved their chopsticks.

Gu Lanniang had been crying for a long time, and hid in the east wing with the child in her arms.

Gu Mo stood upright in the yard, tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let them flow down.

The eldest brother treats their brothers and sisters well, but since his father was paralyzed, the family has depended on the elder brother.For the sake of his father, as the boss, he could only join the army, but in the end he died outside the Great Wall with no bones left.

The family was immersed in great grief. On the night of the full moon, no one calmed down to eat and sleep.

The cold comes and the summer goes, and the sky is getting colder every day.The whole family finally got over it, and lived their lives as before.It's just that there is an empty place in everyone's heart, and that place may never be filled again.

Today's Sanyuantang has become famous because of Su Ruoli, a little genius doctor, and the pills prepared by Su Ruoli have become popular. Not only the big families in the town are in short supply, but even many dignitaries in the capital are in short supply. They also brought people out to buy.

Li Zhong, the shopkeeper of Sanyuantang, discussed with Su Ruoli whether to come every other day.The profits are divided fifty-fifty.

He also talked about his plan, now that Kyoto has stabilized, he wants to open a branch in Kyoto, and wants Su Ruoli to follow along.

Although there are more opportunities for development in the capital, Su Ruoli now considers that there are six people in her family, big and small. If she enters the capital, what will happen to the family?
Gu Mo is about to go to Beijing to catch the exam, can Gu Lanniang support the family alone?
If she goes to Beijing, she will definitely have to bring them all with her. By that time, she will drag her family with her, and she will have no place to eat or live. What should I do?

Looking at his dignified expression, Li Zhong seemed to have guessed her thoughts, "Girl is really kind and righteous, Luo Shi treated you like that back then and gave you a letter of divorce, you still care about them and their family like this? The Gu family is gone again, and you are still guarding that house, hey, it's really embarrassing for you, a little girl."

Seeing this kind-faced middle-aged man sighing there, Su Ruoli only thought it was funny.It seems that she is not as good-hearted as he said, but she really can't see it, so she let Gu Zhang's older sister and younger siblings live with her.To be honest, she didn't get nothing, at least, she had someone to keep company with, otherwise the big house would be empty if she lived alone.

Now when I come home, someone brings tea and water, and hot meals are served, isn't this what I get?

Although life was not so well-off a while ago, it was better than ordinary people.Since Li Zhong gave her a dividend of 1000 taels of silver, life at home has become even easier.

Su Ruoli didn't feel that it was a pain, but felt more at ease.

Seeing that she was thinking, Li Zhong hurriedly expressed his plan, "The girl is worried about her family, right? It's easy to say, I have already asked someone to find a shop in Beijing, and I also rented a small yard for the girl. At that time, the girl will bring the whole family to Beijing."

People are so sincere, besides, they can show their talents in Beijing, right?Su Ruoli thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed, "Then it's a deal, and I'll write back to you when I go back to discuss with them and tidy up the things at home."

Li Zhong was overjoyed, and personally sent Su Ruoli to the door, watching Su Ruoli get into the carriage of Sanyuantang before turning back to the house.

Su Ruoli returned home calmly along the way, and when she entered the yard, she saw Gu Lanniang pickling Chinese cabbage in a jar.

In the twelfth lunar month, there are not many vegetables, except mushrooms and fungus picked from the mountains, and wild vegetables dug and dried, there are really no other fresh vegetables.

In this era, there is no such thing as plastic sheeting. Su Ruoli wanted to build a shed, but there was nothing convenient, so she had to give up.Instead, I made a big flowerpot in the house and sprinkled some vegetable seeds to see if it would work.

As long as she was at home, Gu Lanniang would set a brazier in the house, and within a few days, the vegetable seeds sprouted. Su Ruoli was overjoyed, thinking that in ancient times, it was not impossible to develop a large shed.

Now that she was thinking about going to the capital, this matter was suppressed, and she dragged Gu Lanniang to talk about it.

Gu Lanniang was a little embarrassed when she heard this. In the end, she just lived in a home that wasn't even her mother's home. She and Wang Laichun were a legitimate couple, so it's okay to leave like this?

It's good that the Wang family doesn't cause trouble, if you really want to punish her, you just need to report it in the yamen, a crime of not returning home and not being a wife can't escape the crime.

When the time comes, how can Su Ruoli and his younger siblings be hurt?

In terms of her original intentions, she was willing to follow Su Ruoli. For the sake of her child, she really didn't want to suffer in that family anymore.

Seeing her bow her head, Su Ruoli thought she was still thinking about Wang Laichun, so she couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Is the eldest sister reluctant to part with her brother-in-law?"

In front of Gu Lanniang, she didn't have the nerve to call Wang Laichun a bastard.

When Gu Lanniang heard that she mentioned Wang Laichun, she shook her head as if shocked, "No, no, how could I miss him?"

Such a person who doesn't see her and the child in his eyes, such a person who only knows how to spoil her, how can she still think about him?If her mother hadn't made the decision at the beginning, how could she have fallen to such a state?
Gu Lanniang's big apricot eyes glistened with tears, and she kept shaking her head slightly, as if he was a devil-like person, as long as he was mentioned, it reminded her of many unhappiness.

"So Eldest Sister is willing to follow me?" The corners of Su Ruoli's lips rose, as if she had read Gu Lanniang's mind.

Gu Lanniang raised her eyes, with tears in her bright apricot eyes, "As long as, as long as Miss Su doesn't dislike me for bringing a child, I, I would like to be a cow or a horse for the girl!"

When Su Ruoli saw her saying this in a serious manner, as if she was really going to be a slave, Su Ruoli couldn't help laughing, and went to hold Gu Lanniang's hand, "Oh, big sister, how many times have I told you?" , Don’t always call Miss Su Miss Su. If you feel awkward, just call me Ruoli.”

After clapping her hand, Su Ruoli looked at her solemnly, "Sister, to be honest, your in-law's family is really not a good thing, if you really go back, I don't feel relieved. Since you are willing to follow me , I will simply think of a comprehensive solution for you, as long as you are willing to let go of that family!"

"I've wanted to end that family for a long time. It's just that I have no legs, and I don't have your skills. How can I leave?" Gu Lanniang was touched, and she couldn't help but turned her back and wiped her eyes.

Su Ruoli sighed softly. Most of the women in this era are like this. Parents ordered the matchmaker to marry a chicken as a chicken and a dog as a dog. If you marry a man, no matter what kind of person he is, you will be like this for the rest of your life. .

Gu Lanniang's flower-like personality, if she hadn't had Luo Shi's inconspicuous mother, she wouldn't have married such a family.

Feeling compassionate, Su Ruoli pulled Gu Lanniang over and said word by word: "Since the elder sister doesn't want to go back, then you can make peace with him. I'll ask Third Lord Jing to tell the county magistrate..."

It's the twelfth lunar month, and Gu Lanniang has been living here since Gu Hongjun passed away.More than half a year has passed, and Wang Laichun's grandson, Wang Laichun, has not shown his face.

Gu Lanniang thought he was dead long ago, and she didn't think about that family at all.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Ruoli stayed at home for a day. The family's New Year's goods were almost ready. She had already discussed with Gu Lanniang that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole family would go to Beijing.

It happened to be spring, and Gu Mo was about to end, and he would have a place to live, and a family to take care of him.

Seeing that the chickens and ducks at home were all grown up, Su Ruoli asked Gu Lanniang to kill them all.

The baby pig that I bought in the spring weighed more than a hundred catties. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Su Ruoli was also planning to kill it. The whole family would eat up to fifteen. Wouldn't it be better to go to Beijing lightly and simply? ?

It's just that Gu Lanniang can kill a chicken and duck, but the pig can't.

The male in the family, Gu Mo, is a half-grown boy, but this guy only reads sage books and doesn't listen to cattle and sheep. If he was asked to kill a pig, his face turned pale with fright.

There was no other way, Su Ruoli had no choice but to do it himself.Thinking that in her previous life, she had dissected even people—of course dead people, so how could she be afraid of such a little pig?
Immediately, Gu Xuan was asked to close the door, and he came to the pigsty with a rope and a stick.

Although she was courageous enough, it was her first time to go into battle. She was thinking about how to knock the pig out with a stick, when she heard the door being slapped loudly.

Now when Su Ruoli heard that the door was slammed so vigorously, she couldn't help feeling upset.Every time the door slams like this, it means something bad is coming.

For the first time, Gu Zhang was forced to join the army.The second time Luo Shi came back to deliver the letter of divorce, Gu Hongjun died of anger by the way.

This time, which bastard will it be?

Su Ruoli yelled at Gu Mo angrily, "Open the door and see who's coming"?
Gu Mo also angrily went to open the door, only to see Wang Laichun wearing a ragged old padded jacket, sleeves down, stomping his feet, hunched over and looking in through the crack of the door.

As soon as the door opened, he didn't pay attention, and he almost fell off the ground.

"Why are you here?" Gu Mo's teeth itch with hatred when he saw this incompetent brother-in-law, so naturally he had nothing good to say.

Wang Laichun was also thick-skinned, so he pretended not to see this second brother-in-law, with a playful and obscene look on his face, "It's almost Chinese New Year, didn't I come to pick up your sister and your niece to go back to celebrate the New Year?"

As he said that, he squeezed in, because of his sister's face, Gu Mo didn't have the nerve to drive him out after all.

When Gu Lanniang heard Wang Laichun's voice, she was so frightened that she got into the room and dared not come out.

This nightmare man came again, should she go back with him?

Su Ruoli, who saw Gu Lanniang's distress in his eyes, was standing in the pigsty to drive the pigs. Seeing Wang Laichun's skinny, skinny, black and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, he was really not worthy of Gu Lanniang's appearance. He became more and more contemptuous, and didn't know what Luo Shi thought at the beginning, to marry Gu Lanniang to such an unworthy person?

Seeing that Wang Laichun's small eyes were not enough, looking around, he was even more angry, and raised the rope and asked loudly, "Hey, hey, who is it? What are you looking around for?" "

When Wang Laichun heard the voice, he realized that Su Ruoli was actually standing in the pigsty. A black jacket with red flowers on a black background was tightly wrapped around her already developed body, making her more and more exquisite.

The small waist that was tightly grasped really made him sweat, and he was afraid that it would be broken if the wind was stronger.

He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked around Su Ruoli's body with his yellow eyes, and secretly stretched out his palm to make a gesture to see if the slender waist could be grasped with one big hand. up.

　Today is too busy, late, everyone forgive me.I wish you a nice weekend!There will be another update later.
