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

The house at the foot of the mountain that Gu Xiucai liked used to belong to an old hunter.

He had no children in his life and the house was abandoned after his death. The old hunter's house looked big in yard, but actually had only a few rooms.

Gu Dechang hadn't been here for many years. As soon as he came in, he was shocked by the house that was leaky everywhere and had no doors or windows.

"Brother Ming, although this yard is big, there are only a few houses. Now it is in such a dilapidated state. How do you live here?"

"No problem. I'll take care of it first. I also want to buy the ten acres of wasteland near this yard. Can you calculate how much it is in total including this yard?"

Gu Xiucai looked at the surrounding environment that looked like a landscape painting and was very satisfied. He thought that since he had bought the house, he had also bought the surrounding wasteland, which would make it convenient to reclaim the land and build a house in the future.

"You buy those wastelands..."

Gu Dechang wanted to persuade Gu Xiucai to buy a few acres of good farmland, but then he thought that Gu Xiucai was short of money and couldn't afford to buy good farmland. He didn't want to persuade him anymore, so as not to embarrass Gu Xiucai. He could only smile and say:

"This broken yard is too far from the village, and it has been impossible to sell it in recent years. Just give me two taels of silver as a token of your appreciation. As for the wasteland, it was originally worth five taels of silver per mu, but God has punished us in the past two years. It has become increasingly difficult to grow crops without a few rains. Just give me three taels of silver! I will go home and check the land register and tell you how much it is."

"That!"

Gu Xiucai knew that this was his old friend's care for him, so he didn't expose him and responded with a smile.

Gu Dechang went home to look at the land register, and Gu Yiyao poked her little head out to look at her new home curiously.

She was soon attracted by the charming pastoral scenery. She had never been to the countryside in her previous life and had no idea that the scenery there was so intoxicating.

This is a very primitive ancient village, with smoke rising from the distance, mountains and rivers giving off a pastoral vibe, and the occasional sound of dogs barking from the village. Not bad! Not bad!

Gu Yiyao is very satisfied with her new home.

Gu Xiucai saw his granddaughter looking around with satisfaction, looking so adorable that his heart melted at the cute little appearance of his granddaughter. He couldn't help but take Gu Yiyao away from Gu Yingxue's arms.

"My dear, do you like it here?"

Gu Yiyao cooperated with her grandfather very well, and her little hands clapped loudly!

When Gu Yichen saw his sister clapping, he also grinned and clapped!

Everyone in the Gu family couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two little guys were so happy.

Gu Shugen, standing at the door, looked with some envy at the family in the yard, who were dressed in rags but were having a great time.

This is the feeling of home!

Thinking about his family's situation, Gu Shugen's eyes dimmed a lot. His eldest and second brothers were busy trying to please their parents all day long and had no brotherly love for him. His parents disliked his wife for giving birth to a girl and also disliked him as a result. There was no warmth at home at all.

Just because he refused to agree with his mother's decision to strangle her own daughter, his mother now has a bad face whenever she sees him.

Gu Shugen looked at Mr. Gu, who was holding Gu Yiyao with a loving face, and then at Old Lady Yin, who was also looking at Gu Yiyao with a loving face, and the other members of the Gu family in the yard.

He suddenly felt that it would be great if his daughter could be born in his fifth uncle's family.

The Gu family members who were happily entertaining the children noticed Gu Shugen standing at the door and looked at him with gloomy faces.

"Five...Five...Uncle Gu, I...I'm here to see if there's anything I can do to help...help."

When Gu Shugen saw that everyone was staring at him with unfriendly expressions, he was frightened and his face turned red, and he couldn't speak clearly.

After Gu Shugen finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiucai and the others to reply, he took the broom in his hand and went into the house to sweep the spider webs in the corners of the roof and walls.

Gu Xiucai and several members of the Gu family looked at each other but did not stop him. He remembered that this child was the only one in the Gu family who greeted him and called him Fifth Uncle at that time.

Gu Shugen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Gu family did not drive him away.

He knew that his parents had gone too far, and he should have brought some food with him.

But the food at home was locked up by his mother, so he couldn't get it at all. He could only come over with a broom and help!

He thought that he should clean the house as soon as possible so that his fifth uncle's family could settle down earlier and have some rest. He heard that his fifth uncle's family had been gone for nearly half a year before returning to Gujia Village, so they must be exhausted.

Gu Shugen was cleaning hard while thinking.

The three brothers Gu Yulang, Gu Yubai and Gu Yougen were busy, so they went into the house and started cleaning with him.

Yang, Gu Yingxue and old lady Yin also got busy cleaning up the debris and weeds in the yard.

Hurry up and pack up, it’s getting late, otherwise you won’t even have a place to stay at night!

Gu Yiyao and Gu Yichen sat obediently beside their grandfather, staring with their big eyes at the adults busying themselves.

After a while, Gu Dechang came back with his three sons. His fourth son was studying in a private school in the county and only came back once a month.

"Brother Ming, you guys have already started cleaning up! I told you to let these three guys come over to clean up the house for you!"

After saying this, Gu Dechang urged his three sons to go to work.

His three sons often heard from their father that he had a brother who was living in a foreign land.

Today we finally saw him in person. They were all looking at Gu Xiucai curiously, and when their father yelled at them, they all ran to help!

"Brother Ming, I calculated that the wasteland is 14 mu in total. With this yard, you only need to give me 40 taels! If you don't have the money now, you can wait two years and give it to me!"

According to his own intention, he didn't want to charge a single penny, but the land belonged to the village and he had to charge it. However, he could charge less, as the head of the village he still had this right!

Gu Xiucai took out 45 taels of silver from his bag and handed it to Gu Dechang:

"Consider this house bought by me for three taels of silver. This will make it easier for you to talk in the village."

Gu Dechang was about to refuse, but when he saw Gu Xiucai's face darken, he was so scared that he obediently took the money. After receiving the money, he kept muttering in his heart, so many years have passed, and he is still so scary!

"Here is 50 taels. Take it."

Gu Xiucai took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Dechang.

Gu Dechang looked at Gu Xiucai in shock:

"Brother Ming, where did you get so much money?!"

"Don't worry about where I got it from. Just take it if I tell you to!"

Gu Xiucai didn't know how to say that the silver came from selling ginseng or from hunting down bandits, as either of them sounded like a lie.

"Ming Ge, you... you didn't do anything against the law, did you? There are some things that Ming Ge can't do, and once you do it, you can't turn back?!"

The more Gu Dechang imagined it, the paler his face became. He grabbed Gu Xiucai's arm tightly and said with great sorrow!

It’s all because of the injustice of this world that Brother Ming, a good man, has become a bandit!

"What are you talking about?! I am a scholar, how could I do something that violates the law!"

Gu Xiucai understood Gu Dechang's expression and felt a little angry.

"That's good! That's good! This way we're still good brothers!"

Gu Dechang was torn between his conscience and his desires, but in the end justice triumphed over his brothers and he was ready to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice!

Now, after hearing what Gu Xiucai said, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief several times.

Fortunately, the brothers don’t have to turn against each other!
