Chapter 18 Family Dispute
When Liu Erni returned to Gu's house with an empty basket, she was dejected.
Chen Chunhua said proudly: "Third sister-in-law, come and have a look. This is the dried black fungus my parents gave me. You say my parents are really mean. I have been married for so many years, but they still treat me like an unmarried girl."
What Liu Erni envied most was Chen Chunhua's treatment. Even after she got married, she was still remembered by her parents. A few years ago, Gu Laoda got drunk and pushed Chen Chunhua. The next day, all three brothers of the Chen family came to the door to make trouble for Gu Laoda. Gu Laoda was so scared that he almost knelt down on the spot.
Except for being poor, the Chen family almost did the extreme of loving their daughters in the countryside.
Chen Chunhua said sarcastically at this time: "Third sister-in-law, mother spent a long time in the kitchen this morning, and always felt that there was a piece of tofu missing at home. Do you know where it went?"
Liu Erni lowered her head guiltily and said: "Maybe I made an extra piece when I was cooking. I will definitely save it next time..."
Chen Chunhua said: "It's better to do this. If it is sent to your mother's house again, it will be unacceptable. But I heard from the villagers that I saw you go back to your mother's house just now. Is that true?"
Liu Erni was squeezed and speechless for a long time. She looked at her husband for help, but Gu Laosan's eyes were not very friendly at this time. After all, no one likes a daughter-in-law who only cares about her mother's house.
Old lady Gu coughed hard, glared at her third daughter-in-law, and then said: "Stop arguing, go and make lunch first, and then discuss the matter of selling tofu after it's done."
Old lady Gu spoke, which also meant that Liu Erni's theft of tofu was just fooled away.
But in fact, everyone present was dissatisfied.
Liu Erni felt that she was being treated harshly, while Chen Chunhua felt that her mother-in-law favored the third wife.
The second wife had long since hidden away and did not participate in the fight at all.
Money was the beginning of the dispute, and in the afternoon, when they discussed who would be responsible for selling tofu, there was another dispute.
The first and third wives refused to give in to each other, and both felt that they should carry the tofu to sell.
Gu Mingda, who did not participate in the matter in the end, made a suggestion: "Mom, to the left of our village is Linjia Village, and to the right is Chenjia Village. The third brother goes left, and the eldest brother goes right. There is a tofu seller in the town, so there is no need to go there anymore."
Even with such pertinent suggestions, some people were still dissatisfied.
Liu Erni said, "Why should my eldest brother go to Chenjia Village? That's my eldest sister-in-law's family home. My eldest brother is familiar with many villagers and will definitely be able to sell faster."
The quarrel in the morning had already made the first and third wives angry. They were trying their best to suppress each other. This time, selling tofu was a good opportunity for them to prove themselves.
Gu Mingda looked at her strangely: "Third brother's wife, I don't understand what you said. You are going to sell tofu for the family. Selling it out as soon as possible is the most important thing. No one is urging my eldest brother to compare with my third brother."
Gu Laoda and Gu Laosan fell silent at the same time. The two brothers looked at each other.
Gu Mingda looked at Mrs. Gu again and asked, "Mom, do you want my eldest brother and my third brother to compete to see who is better at selling tofu, and then hand over the tofu stall to them in the future?"
The people in the first and third wives heard this and immediately stared at Mrs. Gu with burning eyes.
Old Lady Gu frowned and said, "You're thinking about who will take over the stall after you've just set it up? I'm not dead yet!"
The first and third rooms all quieted down immediately.
After thinking about it, Old Lady Gu decided that it was better to ease the situation than to block it. Instead of the whole family staring at each other like cross-eyed, it would be better to let them have money to spend.
"I'll give each of you a basket of tofu. Just give me fifty coins after you sell them. You can keep the rest." Old Lady Gu said.
As soon as she said this, it was equivalent to the Gu family being a wholesale department now. The first and third rooms took things from her and went out to sell them. She didn't care how much they sold.
Who doesn't like money? As soon as she said this, the people in the first and third rooms were eager to show off.
When they finally went out with the tofu, the house finally became quiet.
Most of the tofu was taken out by them, and some was left at home to supply customers in the village.
Gu Mingda did not rush back to his room to study, but said: "Mom, I want to take Yunniang and the children with me when I go to the capital city to take the exam this time."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she wanted to object at the first time.
But Gu Mingda said: "Going to the capital city will delay my eldest brother and third brother from selling tofu. They will definitely not be willing to accompany me. Even if I take Yunniang with me, we are not at ease leaving the three children at home."
When Gu Mingda went to the capital city to take the exam, he would definitely need someone to take care of him. Usually it was the eldest or the third son.
Because a child of the second house was abducted, the couple would not be at ease if the child was not under their eyes.
Mrs. Gu asked: "You and Yunniang go to the capital city, and I will take care of the three children myself. Don't you feel at ease?"
Gu Mingda said: "Mom, I am not worried about you, but the children are grown up and should go out to see the world. I dare not say whether this is my last time to take the exam."
Mrs. Gu knew her second son, and seeing that he was so persistent, she stopped persuading him.
"Your wife is taking care of three children, so she will be busy when the time comes." said Mrs. Gu.
Gu Mingda said, "The children are all sensible, they won't cause trouble."
The obedient and sensible children he said were following Father Gu into Daqing Mountain.
"Grandpa, where is the chestnut tree you mentioned? Are there really many chestnuts now?" Gu Zhao asked anxiously.
Dad Gu was confused and said: "Pick chestnuts... give them to Niu Niu..."
Thirteen-year-old Gu Yan, on the other hand, didn't want to go into the mountain at first, but his younger brothers and sisters had their eyes covered by the word "chestnut", so he had no choice but to follow him in, but he kept looking around, fearing that something might happen somewhere. A ferocious beast jumped out and snatched the brothers and sisters away.
After walking into the mountain for about a quarter of an hour, Father Gu finally stopped.
He looked up at the empty branches with a sad face: "Mao Lizi... Where is Mao Lizi?"
Gu Zhao was also disappointed. Seeing that there were no wild chestnuts on the tree, he rummaged around on the ground to see if he could find any wild chestnuts hidden on the ground.
It's a pity that there are many thorn balls on the ground, but not many complete chestnuts.
Niu Niu also bowed and looked for her on the ground with her butt sticking out. Her luck was obviously much better than Gu Zhao's: "One... two... Third brother, I found several!"
She stretched out her hand and handed the pitiful chestnuts to Gu Zhao: "Third brother, don't be sad, I'll give them to you!"
Gu Zhao immediately turned from sadness to joy: "Thank you Niuniu!"
He didn't find the chestnuts, but he found several bugs. He held up one of the colorful caterpillars and said, "Sister, look, this is the treasure I just found!"
Niu Niu looked at the insect as thick as a finger and almost cried out of fear.
She couldn't understand how she could repay her kindness by giving her brother chestnuts to eat!
