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

As soon as the Gu family's ox cart entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers. After all, ox carts are very expensive and only the village chief's family has an ox cart in this village!

But today is not the day when the village chief drives to town, and this ox cart doesn’t look like the village chief’s ox cart!

The cows in the village chief's house are fat and strong, but this cow looks like it is not full every day and is so skinny!

But no matter how thin they are, they are still two cows. Nowadays, a cow is worth at least twenty or thirty taels of silver!

Most people would rather break a copper coin into eight petals, so how could they be willing to buy an ox cart?

The villagers of Gujia Village looked at Gu Xiucai and his group with curiosity, wondering what they were doing.

The women who were gossiping at the entrance of the village also looked at the Gu family members who drove the ox cart in with confusion. When they saw that the Gu family members were ragged and covered in dust, some of them began to show contempt on their faces.

"Which unlucky family has a relative who has come to seek refuge here?"

A woman with a mean face said this sarcastically, but her eyes were fixed on the ox cart. It seemed that the refugees who came to seek refuge with their relatives this time should have some family background!

Unlike the ones that came before, they look even uglier than beggars!

The people at the entrance of the village took a closer look, and after confirming that they were not their relatives, they felt relieved and began to laugh and guess whose family would be unlucky this time!

The economic situation now is not as good as in previous years. If another relative comes to ask for money, it will be a real disaster!

"Huh?! Why does that man look like the fifth son of Gu the mason's family?"

An older man who was squatting under a big rock to bask in the sun tapped the pipe in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at Gu Xiucai who was walking in front. After a while, he muttered to himself uncertainly.

But he was a little unsure because Gu Xiucai looked younger now. Logically, Gu Xiucai was the same age as him, but the person in front of him looked much younger than him, which made him unable to recognize him for a moment.

"Gu Daniu!"

Gu Xiucai saw the old man squatting under a stone and staring at him suspiciously, and called out the old man's name accurately.

The old man got up with a start after hearing this, walked quickly to Gu Xiucai, and looked at him carefully several times.

"Gu Laowu?! You are really Gu Laowu! How come you look so young! I've become so old! How come you still look 10 years younger than me!"

Gu Xiucai's lips twitched as he looked at Gu Daniu, who was paying completely attention to the wrong thing.

Shouldn't this be a time for old friends to reunite and greet each other pleasantly, asking about each other's lives? As a grown man, why are you concerned about whether someone is young or old?

Gu Daniu: The older I get, the more afraid I am of death. Of course, I only care about my age!

"Maybe it's because I don't look old."

Gu Xiucai looked at Gu Daniu, who was smacking his lips and staring at his face, and spoke with a smile.

Listening to the conversation between Gu Xiucai and Gu Daniu, the women over there began to talk at once:

"Hey, Chunhua, this is your fifth uncle who fled the famine that year and he's back. Why don't you go and greet him!"

A woman said jokingly to a young woman who was wearing a flowered shirt and had several large patches on her trouser legs.

"Go away! We separated a long time ago!"

As soon as she heard Gu Daniu calling Gu Laowu, she knew that this was the unlucky fifth uncle who had fled to other places to escape famine that her mother-in-law had mentioned.

She had originally thought of going over to say hello for the sake of the two ox carts, but she turned back halfway through her walk.

She saw that in addition to firewood, there was also a seriously injured person in the two cars!

Oh my God! If there is a sick person at home, then you have to sell everything you have. These days, medicinal materials are very precious. Even if you have a lot of money, you can't afford to spend it on a sick person who needs medicine!

Besides, there was nothing but firewood on the ox cart. There was nothing valuable at all!

She is too lazy to greet such poor relatives!

Besides, her fifth uncle had left when she got married, so she didn’t know them!

"Gu Laowu, your father is gone. He starved to death during the famine. Your mother lives with your eldest brother now. Your fourth brother passed the imperial examination and became a scholar! He went to town to teach!"

Gu Daniu quickly told Gu Xiucai about his family's recent situation.

When Gu Xiucai heard that his father was no longer around, although he hated him in his heart he also showed a look of pain.

"Hey, don't be sad. It's a good thing you left during the famine. Otherwise, with those few acres of wasteland you have, you would have ended up like your father!"

Seeing that Gu Xiucai was sad, Gu Daniu hurried to comfort him.

After hearing what Gu Daniu said, the sadness on Gu Xiucai's face faded a lot.

Yes!

My eldest brother's family had 10 acres of fertile land but people could still starve to death, let alone me who only had one acre of wasteland to feed five people!

"Come on, come on, I'll take you home. Your mother is still here, but she has sold your land. You have to be mentally prepared."

Gu Daniu was still talking on and on, and a sneer appeared on Gu Xiucai's face. He didn't even want to let go of an acre of wasteland!

While Gu Daniu was talking about the situation in the village, he pulled Gu Xiucai towards the village.

Ever since Gu Xiucai heard that his wasteland had been sold by his mother, all his concern for her disappeared without a trace!

At this time, he was listening to Gu Daniu's words casually and had no interest in finding out about his mother.

Yes, ever since he had to go out to make a living, he has no other relatives except his wife and children!

Xia Chunhua had already run back home in a flash.

"Mom! Mom! Something bad has happened! Uncle Five is back!"

Xia Chunhua ran out of breath. When she reached her doorstep, she held onto the door frame and started shouting towards the yard.

An old woman with white hair and a haggard face raised her head in shock after hearing what Xia Chunhua said. She stared at Xia Chunhua through the window as if she was trying to tell whether her words were true or false.

Perhaps because she doesn’t have much time left, she always thinks of her little son these years.

The youngest son was not very talkative since he was born, and was not as good at coaxing as the eldest and fourth sons. Therefore, she and the old man inevitably ignored the youngest son in the early years.

Over the years, the eldest and fourth brothers have changed their attitudes after squeezing all their money out of the old couple. Now that she is old, the fourth brother hardly ever comes to see her!

The eldest brother never had a good face towards her. If she wasn't afraid of being known as unfilial, she would have been starved to death by this evil creature!

"What?! Your what? Who's back?!"

Gu Lao Da's wife, Xia, opened the door and asked with a puzzled look on her face. It was not that she couldn't react, but it had been so many years that she had no impression of Lao Wu anymore.

"Fifth Uncle! My father's fifth brother is back!"

Xia Chunhua stamped her feet anxiously and repeated it quickly.

"Your fifth uncle?! Your father's fifth brother?! Gu Siming! He's back! He didn't die outside?!"

Xia looked at Xia Chunhua in disbelief.

This little daughter-in-law of mine is my niece from my mother's side and has always been loved by me, so she seldom does housework and runs out to play after dinner.

Every time he came back he would tell her gossip about the village, and she liked listening to it. But today's gossip didn't make her happy at all!

This Lao Wu is not dead, why did he come back? ! He is not coming back to grab the land from her!

They had separated long ago. Even if Lao Wu came back, he wouldn't be given a single cent of their land!

"Mom, I'm telling you, don't take in Uncle Wu's family just because they have a bullock cart. There's a seriously ill person in their family, and I see that their bullock cart is full of firewood! There's not a single valuable thing!"

Xia Chunhua quickly reminded Xia not to take in her fifth uncle.

Their house is already a bit crowded, and if their fifth uncle's family moves in, wouldn't it be even more crowded!

When Xia heard that her brother-in-law had returned in such a miserable state, she became even angrier and turned to go to a small shabby house behind the kitchen. This house had belonged to the fifth brother in the past and was now occupied by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu.

"You damned old woman, you didn't divide the family property cleanly back then, and you didn't go to the village chief to have it clearly written down. Now your debt-collecting son is back! Let me tell you, these 10 acres of prime land in our family belong to our eldest wife. If you dare to give in, I will starve you to death!"

The more Xia spoke, the angrier she became. The fourth brother was so slippery that he sold the land and moved to the town so early!

Even if the fifth brother is lazy and wants land, he can't get it from the fourth brother, but their own land is still there. The fifth brother must have come back because he couldn't make a living outside, and he will definitely snatch the land from their family!

What bad luck! It would be great if I could die outside! It would be all over! Why come back?

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Old Lady Liu did not say a word in response, but stood up tremblingly and walked out the door...
