The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

By the time they had packed up, it was already dawn. The Gu family didn't want to attract the attention of the villagers, so they set out quietly before dawn.

The big guy and the skinny monkey had packed their things and came over. They each brought a small bag. When they saw the Gu family coming over, the big guy and the skinny monkey scratched their heads and felt a little embarrassed:

"We only have a few clothes and some rations. We have no quilts. Usually we cover ourselves with grass. When night comes, we just find some grass to make do with."

Yang found it a little unbelievable. These two fools had been sending copper coins to their home before, and she thought they were living a good life.

In the end, he turned out to be a poor guy who didn’t even have a quilt!

Gu Xiucai looked at the two men with a speechless look. He knew that the big guy had a big appetite.

But during the time when his son was seriously ill, the older one never had a full meal, and he used all the money he earned from working at the dock to support his second son’s medical treatment. He is a rare good child!

"If you are willing, you will be the legitimate sons of our Gu family in the future. Big guy, you are a few months younger than the second child, so you will be the third child named Gu Yuze. Skinny monkey, you are younger than Yingxue, so you will be the fifth child of our family named Gu Yuan. What do you think?"

Gu Xiucai looked at the big guy and the skinny monkey and asked.

After hearing what Gu Xiucai said, the big guy and the skinny monkey stared at him in a daze, their eyes widened and their lips trembling slightly.

The two opened their mouths to speak but no sound came out. They were so anxious that tears were streaming down their cheeks.

But they dared not blink, for fear that if they blinked, the scene before their eyes would disappear and they would realize they were dreaming.

They have a father too! They have a family too!

"Speak up! Call me daddy! Why are you crying? You are embarrassing me!"

Gu Yubai didn't react for a moment after hearing what his father said. When he came to his senses, he saw these two guys dropping gold beans!

He was immediately furious, fearing that his father would go back on his word, so he kicked everyone in anger, wanting them to ask their father to settle the matter as soon as possible.

He knew that his father was aloof like a scholar and always felt that the friends he made were all bad and not presentable. He didn't know what was wrong with his father today, but he didn't care as long as the big guy and the skinny monkey called them dad, he would have to recognize his father from now on!

Otherwise he won’t agree!

"Dad! Mom! Big brother! Big sister-in-law! Sister! Ergou...Second brother!"

The big guy and the skinny guy calmed down after being kicked by Gu Yubai. They hurriedly called people one by one. When they called Gu Yubai, they wanted to call him Er Gouzi out of habit, but then they changed their words and called him Second Brother.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Yin were quite happy. To be honest, after their Gu family fell into poverty, it was these two people who were often chased and scolded by Mrs. Gu and Yang who showed a lot of kindness to their family.

If it weren't for these two people keeping her in check, those gossipy women in the village wouldn't know how to bully Gu Yingxue.

Also, no one ever dared to steal the prey that the second brother hunted in the mountains. But once someone tried to steal the second brother's prey, he was beaten so badly by these two that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month!

From then on, no one dared to covet the second brother's prey.

The other members of the Gu family had no objection to Gu Xiucai's decision and accepted it happily. The happiest among them was Gu Yubai.

His good brother no longer has to wander around without a home or a job!

……

Capital

As the place where the emperor resides, the capital is the most prosperous place in the entire Da Deng Kingdom, the center where power gathers, and the defense here is also the strictest. The capital is neatly divided into four parts, namely the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the palace city.

The outer city is where ordinary officials and common people live, while the inner city is basically inhabited by some nobles and court officials.

Lin Zhixue's residence in the capital is in the inner city, and with his status he is not qualified to live in the inner city.

However, he married the daughter of Marquis Yang Cheng as his principal wife. Marquis Yang Cheng was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, so he used his connections to buy a mansion for Luo Jiaojiao.

The inner city, where nobles gather, naturally has a sense of superiority that is incomparable to the outer city, and is no less noisy and lively than the outer city.

It was quiet and tidy here. Lin Zhixue's new residence occupied half of Jinxi Street. He had become a new noble in the capital and was the talk of the town for a while.

"Tomorrow you will leave for my hometown and give these banknotes to Gu Xiucai. He was my mentor and treated me well. These banknotes are enough for the Gu family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Then we are even now."

Lin Zhixue handed the two silver bills in his hand to his capable servant and gave instructions with a stern face.

Lin Zhixue originally wanted to ask his servant to find out about Gu Yingxue's recent situation.

But Gu Yingxue's bloody face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately stopped thinking.

Forget it, lest my wife get jealous and I have to coax her!

My wife is in a bad mood today because she has severe morning sickness due to pregnancy, so I think it’s better for me to mind my own business.

Although he was a little wrong in not allowing his elder brother to go to Beijing for the imperial examination.

But it was also a helpless move. His eldest brother was well educated. Although he could not get the top score like him in the imperial examination, he would not fail either.

But the eldest brother is too protective of his younger sister Gu Yingxue.

If my elder brother really goes to high school, he will definitely oppose me in every way. Although I am not afraid of him, I don't want to make things too awkward with him.

After all, I owe the Gu family a favor, so sometimes I can't help but have some reservations and be unable to take ruthless action.

I hope that with this money, the Gu family can buy a few acres of good land, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and I can repay the kindness.

In fact, not allowing the eldest brother to take the imperial examination was also for his own good. The officialdom is treacherous and his eldest brother is not as smooth and good at judging the situation as himself. He certainly cannot stand the intrigues in the officialdom. Perhaps it is best for him to be a free and wealthy man in his hometown.

He hoped that the Gu family would receive the money and stop blaming him, and from now on he and the Gu family would be even.

As for Gu Yingxue, he had given her chances, but she was too stubborn and didn't want to be a concubine. Being a concubine in the capital was no more comfortable than living in the countryside!

Since she can't get over it, just let it go!

Lin Zhixue looked at the servant's departing back and fell into deep thought. He felt that since he had given the Gu family the money, he and the Gu family were even now. All of a sudden, it was as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart, and he felt that he finally didn't owe the Gu family anything!

After all, some people can’t even earn 200 taels in their entire life!

"Master, I will personally hand this banknote to Gu Xiucai!"

The servant left Lin Zhixue's study and walked for a while. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he went straight to Luo Jiaojiao's yard.

"Master, this is the banknote that my master asked me to deliver to Mr. Gu."

As soon as the servant saw Luo Jiaojiao, he hurriedly and respectfully presented the banknote in his hand with both hands and said to Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao took the banknote with a sinister look on her face. When she opened it, she saw that they were two 100-tael banknotes. Only then did her expression improve a little.

A mere two hundred taels was not enough for her to buy a set of clothes.

"Did he mention that bitch?"

Luo Jiaojiao asked absentmindedly while stroking her belly gently.

"No, the master did not mention a word about that woman."

The servant quickly replied respectfully.

Luo Jiaojiao listened to it, and then a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She smiled at the servant:

"Take these banknotes and go out for a few days. Don't let me find you. When you come back in 10 days, tell me that I have delivered the banknotes."

"Master, how about I go..."

The servant made a gesture of wiping his neck as he spoke.

"Forget it, that vixen's face has been ruined, so let's just spare her life."

Luo Jiaojiao said with contempt that a worthless life was not worth her sending people to kill.

What's more, she is pregnant now and has no intention of killing anyone for the time being. Even if she dares to come to the capital, she still wants to fight with Luo Jiaojiao just by looking at her face!

wishful thinking!
