The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 20: Moving Back to Hometown
"Dad, let's go back to our hometown. My sister has been gossiped about by the gossipers in the village and the neighbors. It's annoying to hear!"
Gu Yubai was a little surprised when he heard his eldest brother say that he wanted to return home. He knew that his hometown was not here and he still had some fragmentary impressions of it.
But he never thought that one day he would go back again, but now that his elder brother mentioned it, he also felt that leaving here might be the best thing.
"Natural disasters are always followed by man-made disasters. The drought here has lasted for two years. I think the imperial court's disaster relief grain is getting less and less."
"The situation next year is not expected to be good. Besides, this side is adjacent to the Sangnan Kingdom. If Sangnan sees the famine here and takes the opportunity to attack us, then we ordinary people will either be killed or become Sangnan's slaves. Leaving here is a good idea."
Gu Xiucai looked at the Gu family and said after a moment's silence. Then he looked at Gu Yingxue and Gu Yiyao and Gu Yichen in Yang's arms and said:
"After we return home, we will announce that Yingxue's husband was killed by bandits."
"Dad, let's leave here. After we return home, my brother might be able to find a scholar to vouch for him. In that case, he can still take part in the imperial examination!"
When Gu Yubai heard what his father said, the depression in his heart disappeared. His elder brother was really smart and resourceful. Leaving here would be a good thing for both his younger sister and elder brother.
He knew that Lin Zhixue was afraid that his elder brother would rise to a high position after passing the imperial examination, so he had already warned everyone here that no one here dared to guarantee his elder brother's imperial examination. His elder brother could not take the imperial examination without the guarantee of three or more scholars.
Yang was already angry at the Lin Zhi Society for obstructing her husband's imperial examination. Now, when she heard that her husband would have the opportunity to take the examination if he returned to his hometown, she thought it was a good thing.
Anyway, in the eyes of her parents, daughters are money-losing goods, and only sons are treasures. She was almost sold to the Gu family back then, and she has no reason to be attached to her natal family.
Therefore, she had no objection, and besides, she would be the biggest beneficiary of leaving here.
Firstly, my husband can take the imperial examination, and secondly, the marriage of our children will not be affected. I immediately expressed my opinion:
"I agree!"
"Fortunately, we have never thought about returning home in these years, so we have never mentioned our hometown. The villagers and those beasts of the Lin family don't know where we came from."
Mrs. Gu also said with a look of surprise, wondering why she had never thought of leaving here and returning home. Now she felt that the mountain that had been pressing on her heart for a while was suddenly gone!
After she leaves here, no one will talk about her daughter anymore, and her grandchildren will never be criticized again!
that's nice!
Go back home!
Gu Yiyao became energetic when she heard her grandfather's suggestion to return home. She had long felt that she should leave here. This is a border area, and there have been many wars on the border since ancient times. What's more, there is a famine here now, so it is only a matter of time before Sangnan attacks.
I just feel sorry for her as a baby. She must be suffocated by not being able to speak!
But grandpa should go to the capital! There are natural disasters and man-made disasters all the time, and only the emperor's feet are the safest!
Besides, they were not going to the inner city, so they would not run into that scumbag Lin Zhixue even if they were in a village near the capital!
The famine has been going on for several years now, and there will definitely be people fleeing from the famine. The capital will also have corresponding measures to resettle the refugees.
She just took this opportunity to settle down at the feet of the emperor. Even if she could only be assigned to open up wasteland in the end, she would not be afraid. She had the system, so she had nothing to fear!
Besides, only by going to the capital would she have the opportunity to seek revenge on that scumbag and bitch for her mother!
"Ah~wah~wah~la~ka~wah~@@%@&"
Gu Yiyao was so excited that she waved her little fists and started crying at Gu Xiucai, but she couldn't speak yet, so she could only make a string of baby talk that no one could understand.
When Gu Yichen saw his sister crying, he also started crying and waving his little fists.
Gu Yiyao was originally angry because she couldn't speak, and now seeing Gu Yichen actually imitating her, she couldn't control herself and slapped him!
When Gu Yichen saw his sister hitting him again, he immediately threw himself into Gu Yingxue's arms with a wronged look, and looked at his mother pitifully with a pursed mouth as if he was accusing something.
Everyone in the Gu family was happy and helpless when they saw this. Yaoyao has a strong personality and she is not one to be taken advantage of when she grows up. She is a very good person!
Poor little Chen'er is either kicked or beaten by his sister all day long!
"Come, come, grandpa will hold you for a while. Yaoyao, do you want grandpa to hold you?"
Gu Xiucai took Gu Yiyao from Gu Yubai with a happy face, thinking that Gu Yiyao had been whining to him just now because she wanted him to hold her.
Gu Yiyao nestled in Gu Xiucai's arms with no desire for life. When will she grow up!!!
"Dad, big brother's idea is really great! Our hometown is only a hundred miles away from the capital, which means it is right under the feet of the emperor. With the famines that have occurred over the years, the world is probably not going to be peaceful. If there is a disaster, the feet of the emperor are the safest."
Gu Yubai, the second son of the Gu family, pondered for a moment and then said to Gu Xiucai.
"Yes, Dad. The laws in the capital are strict. People there value face and reputation the most. Even if I really run into Lin Zhixue one day, he won't dare to do anything reckless. After all, we have a relationship with him. If our whole family really dies, then Lin Zhixue will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!"
Gu Yubai's eyes lit up after hearing what his elder brother said. He was worried that he couldn't kill Lin Zhixue. Now that he had returned to his hometown, which was closer to the capital, he was worried that he wouldn't have the chance to kill this ungrateful man who had betrayed his sister!
"Well, if Lin Zhixue suddenly wants to kill us one day, in a remote area far away from the capital, our death will not cause any major damage to his reputation in the capital. On the contrary, he will be concerned about his reputation in the capital and dare not do anything reckless!"
After listening to his two sons' words, Gu Xiucai stroked his beard and thought about it, and he felt that his two sons' analysis was quite correct.
When they returned to their hometown, Lin Zhixue couldn't find his home for a while, but after all, he had married Yang Chenghou, so it was only a matter of time before he or the woman he had just married would find his home.
Rather than dying quietly in this remote south, it is better to fight for a chance of survival under the feet of the emperor!
What's more, if there really is a war, hometown might be a safe place, but given the current situation, it is safest to return to hometown.
"Okay! As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, the eldest and second brother, I will go to the county town to sell the ginseng. That will be enough money for us to go back home!"
Gu Xiucai made the final decision and ended the topic.
"Dad, I'll make some wild vegetables and boil some juice for you and big brother to apply. It's really a famine now, so you should look as pale and skinny as before so as not to attract other people's attention.
