Chapter 155 Marrying Someone
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the room were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively, as if the farce just now had never happened.
When Gu Lianshan saw this scene, he felt both relieved and helpless.
The second daughter and second son both get along well with the third uncle, so why is it that it doesn't work with the eldest daughter and eldest son?
Seeing Gu Lianshan coming back, the three of them were delighted. Gu Tang even stood up and walked over to him, "Have you finished moving all the things?"
"The last truck will be pulled back and unloaded, and then the move will be complete."
Okay, just move it.
Gu Tang nodded, then his expression darkened and he began to complain: "When Big Brother came back, was he talking to the old man over there? You didn't hear him just now. The nonsense he said was really inappropriate!"
The old man over there refers to Mr. Gu. Gu Lianshan knew that when his eldest son came back, he was busy moving things. After scolding him hurriedly, he arranged for him to move firewood in the backyard, and then left by himself.
As for whether the eldest son talked to the old man later, he really didn't know.
"What did your brother say?"
Gu Tang did not hide a word and told her father what had just happened with gritted teeth, and also complained harshly to Gu Mei.
Of course, she also readily admitted that she had hit someone.
Gu Lianshan's face turned dark. No wonder the brother and sister were beaten like that!
Serves you right! Seriously!
"Don't listen to that bastard's nonsense! Your father is not dead yet! Even if he is dead, it is not his turn to make the decision!" Gu Lianshan was so angry that he decided to go back and beat up the brother and sister!
After saying this, he comforted Gu Tang a few more words and then left the house.
Gu Tang also followed him out.
After glancing at the people moving things back and forth in the yard, she didn't go over there, but went into the kitchen.
There was still hot tea warming on the stove in the kitchen. Now that everything had been moved, it was a good time to have some hot tea to relieve my fatigue.
In the kitchen, the four aunts froze when they saw Gu Tang come in. Their faces looked very unnatural and they didn't dare to glance at Gu Tang. They were really scared by the way Gu Tang looked when he beat people.
Gu Tang was not blind. She knew the stiff expressions on the four people's faces at a glance, but she did not point it out. She pretended that nothing had happened and continued to talk to the four people.
"Aunts, it's almost time. We can start cooking the long-winded meat dishes first. By the time everyone arrives, the meat dishes should be ready. Then we can stir-fry some vegetables. They will be ready soon and served on the table with the meat dishes."
Speaking of cooking, the aunts looked more relaxed, and responded incessantly, their hands moving very skillfully, no longer thinking about other things.
Gu Tang didn't stay long. She took the teapot off the stove and put it on the ground. She then took a basket to put the teacups in. Then she carried the basket in one hand and the teapot in the other and took it to her father.
There wasn't much stuff in the last truck, so the five of them unloaded it quickly.
Gu Tang was very tactful and shouted towards the main hall, asking Gu Ping'an to fetch some water so that the four people who came to help could wash their hands.
After washing his hands, Gu Tang hurriedly served him hot tea.
These four people were also present at the dinner party in the evening. After finishing their hot tea, they said they would go back and change into some casual clothes before coming back. After all, the clan leaders and elders would be here in the evening, so they had to be a little formal.
Gu Lianshan understood that everyone wanted to save face, and he himself wanted to save face too. Later he would go into the house to put on the clothes his daughter bought for him so that he could show off.
Not long after the four people left, Gu Mei and Gu Laian, the brother and sister who had gone to Gu's house to collect firewood, came back.
Gu Lianshan had been waiting for the brother and sister in the yard. When he saw them come back, he kicked Gu Laian down.
"After a few drinks, you've lost your mind? I think you've really lost your mind! The old man over there is clearly treating you like a fool! And yet you still believe his words like a pig!"
Gu Laian huddled up and crawled up. He didn't need to think about it, he knew it was Gu Tang who was complaining.
He was terrified and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
After scolding his son, Gu Lianshan turned around and scolded Gu Mei again: "You've had a crooked heart since you were young! You've been trying to change it for so many years, but you just can't change it! Lai'an has ended up like this today, all because of you deliberately instigating it behind the scenes!"
Gu Mei trembled twice, and followed Gu Laian's example by lowering her head and biting her lower lip tightly, with hatred filling her heart.
Seeing his eldest daughter acting like this, Gu Lianshan no longer had the urge to discipline her. He gave her final advice in a tired tone.
"I've said everything I could, good and bad, but you won't listen to a word, and you're not willing to change at all. Forget it, I'll stop caring about you and stop asking about you. In a couple of days, I'll find a matchmaker to propose marriage to you, and marry you off as soon as possible. Whether it's good or bad in the future, you'll have to take care of yourself."
Hearing this, Gu Mei suddenly looked up, with no concealment of hatred in her eyes.
Getting married? No one in her family would even look at her. I'm afraid they would just pick a random family and send her away!
Gu Laian on the side secretly glanced at his father. Once the eldest sister gets married, will it be his turn to propose marriage?
After he gets married, will his father really do as Si Ya said and give him away without giving him a penny?
Gu Laian became more and more panicked. Seeing his father turning around to leave, he hurriedly called out, "Dad!"
Gu Lianshan stopped walking but didn't turn around. He still had his back to Gu Laian and said, "I don't want to hear any bullshit from you right now! Hurry up and move your firewood! If you can't finish it today, you'll definitely get a beating tonight!"
Gu Laian trembled with fear and swallowed the words back at his lips.
Since his father had said so, how could he dare to mention the division of the family?
As for firewood, he couldn't finish it either...
"My grandfather won't let us move the firewood. He said we've been adopted and the firewood belongs to the family, so we can't touch it..."
"Bullshit!" Gu Lianshan turned around angrily, "That firewood was chopped by your brother Ping'an and me, how come it's not ours!"
Gu Laian didn't say anything.
This is what the master said, and he replied in the same way. He had no say in the matter.
Gu Lianshan was just about to say that he would follow them when he heard the sound of a curtain hitting the door frame behind him.
Turning around, he saw his second daughter.
Gu Tang pulled the curtain aside with a stern look on his face, and his movements were not gentle.
He glanced at the siblings, and finally stopped at Gu Laian: "Go tell them that if they don't let us move, I'll go over and set the woodshed on fire! Let the fire burn everything clean! If the things in the second room can't be moved, then burn them all!"
Gu Laian's hair stood on end and he took a breath of cold air.
"Did you hear that? Say it back to me exactly as you said!" Gu Tang glared at him impatiently.
"I heard, I heard, I heard..." Gu Laian nodded and bowed, not daring to lose his temper anymore.
Gu Tang glanced at him and asked him to go to the backyard to unload the firewood.
Gu Laian didn't hesitate at all and pulled the cart to the backyard, not daring to linger. As for Gu Mei, she cast a vicious glance at Gu Tang several times, determined to find an opportunity for revenge!
The damn girl smashed her face, she would fight back sooner or later!
Gu Laian hurriedly unloaded the firewood and ran to Gu's house without waiting for Gu Mei.
When he arrived at Gu's house, he told Old Man Gu who was blocking the yard what Gu Tang had said, and advised him to move aside.
"Master, that damned Si Ya is such a heartless person! She has no conscience! She even burned her own mother's things. She just lit whatever was in our firewood room!"
"Beast! Beast!" Old Master Gu was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Then he asked hopefully, "Didn't your father say anything? Now, besides the children, your grandmother, your uncle, and I are all sick. You've taken all the firewood away. What are we going to burn at home? Do you have to let us freeze to death before you satisfy that beast?!"
"You know my dad has always been on Si Ya's side, and whenever Si Ya makes up her mind, my dad will just applaud and won't stop her.
"Grandpa, I have to hurry and get some firewood. I've already been beaten once. If I don't finish moving the firewood before dark, my dad and Si Ya will beat me up again!"
After saying this, Gu Laian pushed Old Man Gu away without a care in the world and drove the cart straight to the backyard.
Old Mr. Gu was so panicked that he had no idea what to do, so he had to go to the east wing to find his son again, hoping that his son could give him some advice.
Gu Liansheng had no idea. After thinking it over and over, he could only come up with one idea: wait until Gu Laian left, then they would go into the woodshed and move the firewood into the house and hide it, no matter how much they could hide.
This is not a good idea, but at the moment, it is the only feasible method.
The father and son waited patiently. After Gu Laian left, they called Gu Tianbao and went to the firewood room in the backyard to move the firewood into their respective rooms.
Gu Laian was unaware of it, and Gu Mei wasn't paying attention to it either. Neither the siblings noticed that there was a lot less firewood.
They hurriedly pulled the last cart of firewood to their third uncle's house, and the brother and sister both breathed a sigh of relief.
No need to be beaten.
It was already the beginning of the You hour. The clan leaders and elders, as well as the four people who had come to help with the move, and Gu Liu and others, a total of twelve people, came to Third Uncle's house.
Third Uncle led everyone to have tea and chat in the main hall, while Gu Tang helped in the kitchen to speed up the preparation of dishes.
After a while, eight meat and vegetable dishes plus two soups were all served.
There was also a basket of white flour pancakes, and Gu Tang asked them to keep them warm in the pot and serve them after they had a few rounds of wine.
After the food was served on the table, Gu Tang came out, and Gu Pingan was also brought out.
There is reserved food in the kitchen, so they can just eat there.
As for the four aunts, Gu Tang paid them with the remaining copper coins, packed some meat and vegetables for them, and took two pieces of cake for them to take home for the children.
The aunts were extremely grateful. When they looked at Gu Tang again, they no longer felt uncomfortable as they did during the day. They just felt that Gu Tang was truly the best girl, and it was hard to find such a girl in the surrounding villages!
Gu Tang smiled continuously because of the compliment, and sent the person out of the yard in a very good mood.
When she returned to the kitchen, she shamelessly showed off to Gu Ping'an: "See? As long as you can bring benefits to the people around you, so that they have something to eat and something to take, even if you have done evil for a thousand generations, they will praise you as a good person!"
Gu Ping'an was thoughtful, thinking about these words, and the more he thought about them, the more he felt that these words made a lot of sense.
After taking the reserved food out of the pot, Gu Tang handed the chopsticks to Gu Ping'an and sat down to eat.
After eating a few bites, two people appeared at the kitchen door - Gu Mei and Gu Laian.
As soon as the brother and sister appeared, they stared at the food on the small table and kept swallowing their saliva.
But because Gu Tang didn't say anything, the brother and sister endured their hunger and didn't dare to come in.
Gu Tang winked at Gu Ping'an, who nodded and stood up to bring out the other portion of food reserved in the pot.
There was half a bowl of food in each large wooden bowl, including both meat and vegetables. Gu Lianshan took four more pancakes, put two in each bowl, and then handed the bowl to the brother and sister.
"Go back to your own room to eat, and wash the dishes after you are done." Gu Tang glanced at the brother and sister, his tone not too gentle.
The brother and sister didn't care at all. They took the bowl and couldn't wait to scoop out a piece of meat and put it in their mouths. They didn't even have time to use chopsticks and ran away with the bowl.
Gu Tang didn't eat much. After she was full, she wanted to go back to her room to rest for a while, so she told Gu Ping'an to stay in the kitchen and go to the main room from time to time to take a look. When the wine was almost finished, he should remember to bring the pancakes over.
Gu Ping'an agreed immediately, used the oil lamp in the kitchen to send Gu Tang back to the house, and helped him light the oil lamp in the house. He told Gu Tang to just rest assured and he would take care of it over there and make sure nothing went wrong.
Although Gu Ping'an is young, he is very steady. Gu Tang feels more at ease leaving the main hall to him.
After standing at the door and watching Gu Ping'an return to the kitchen, Gu Tang closed and locked the door.
The stove in the room had not been lit yet, and the temperature in the room was very cold. Gu Tang rubbed his hands and blew hot air from his mouth on his hands to keep them warm.
When her hands were warm enough, she took out her lighter and lit the stove.
Gu Tang was burning charcoal today. As she watched the black charcoal being roasted into red, she had an idea and hurriedly took out the remaining charcoal and put it on the ground, then stood on it.
Then she took off her fur coat and held it in her arms, then called up the system panel and used today's sign-in.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Received the "Warm as Spring" set from the Extreme Cold series!]
Oh wow! This is a good thing, definitely what she needs most right now!
Gu Tang grinned and sneezed twice. With shaking hands, he hurriedly put on his fur coat, put the charcoal back in place, rubbed his hands, and took out the "Warm as Spring".
The things were just taken out and quickly occupied a large area!
Gu Tang exclaimed in admiration. This was the first time she had signed in and found something that won by its size and quantity.
After looking through it, I found that this set is really comprehensive.
Two sets of bedding, two sets of cloaks, two sets of fur coats, two pairs of cotton trousers, two pairs of cotton shoes, and two pairs of cotton socks.
Gu Tang casually took out a cloak and shook it open. The surface was made of pink and purple brocade embroidered with peach blossoms, and the lining was white leather that looked like fox fur.
I put it on and it felt as if I was separated from the winter. I felt warm all over, just like spring.
Gu Tang was pleasantly surprised. No wonder it was called "warm as spring"! It turns out that wearing it really does make you feel as warm as spring!
After taking off his cloak, Gu Tang unpacked the other items one by one.
The two sets of bedding felt like they were made of cotton, one purple and the other aqua green, both embroidered with patterns. They both looked pretty good and were not something Gu Tang disliked.
The remaining cloak was made of red gold brocade. The dazzling red color was interspersed with patterns woven with gold thread, and the lining was made of ermine skin, which looked extremely rich and luxurious.
