Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot
Chapter 17: Fighting Gu Mingde and his wife
I’m worried that Xiao Shitou sleeps too much during the day and can’t sleep at night.
Gu Mingyue simply put her clothes and books together and went next door to wake up Xiao Shitou.
When the little guy woke up and saw his aunt was around, he didn't make a fuss.
The little ball sitting there obediently is so rare, and Gu Mingyue is no exception.
She thought to herself, is there a cute-animal lover hidden in every woman's subconscious? !
Just after I finished dressing Xiao Shitou, a clear shout came from the door.
Gu Mingyue walked out of the room and saw that it was Gu Guangxin who came running towards her, "Xinxin, are you here to play with Xiao Shitou?"
The little girl nodded, then shook her head, "I'll look for Little Stone, and Grandpa will look for Auntie."
Thinking that Gu Mingwei had brought back some news from the town, Gu Mingyue didn't delay and went to his eldest brother's house holding one of their hands.
When I got to the door, I heard a voice coming from inside, "Xinxin, are there any guests at home?"
Gu Guangxin frowned, rarely showing his displeasure, "My uncle and aunt are annoying."
Annoying guy?
Gu Mingyue was puzzled, but after walking in and taking a look, she understood!
It turned out to be my third brother Gu Mingde and his wife and their daughter Gu Guangmei. Well, it was obvious who the annoying guy was.
There was a pouting little girl sitting next to the couple.
The disgust and impatience on her face made her, who should be at such an age as to be clever and quirky, appear unruly instead.
The little girl is Gu Guangmei, who is eight years old this year. You should know that the third sister-in-law Lu Yan is already 43 years old this year.
At that time, everyone thought it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. I don’t know whether her third brother Gu Mingde had any objections.
He lives with his father-in-law, and his food, drink and work are all arranged by his father-in-law.
Even if they have opinions, they probably don't dare to express them.
Anyway, to the outside world, Gu Mingde always acted like he was content with having a wife.
Third sister-in-law Lu Yan has a sharp and mean temper, but how should we put it? In modern terms, she is in love.
She listened to Gu Mingde very much, even though the doctor said her body was not suitable for pregnancy.
It did not dissuade her from having a child for her man.
Finally, she got pregnant at the age of 34 and almost died on the operating table during delivery.
Although it was a bit regrettable that it was a daughter, my third sister-in-law and her family spoiled this hard-earned child to no end.
It also made the little girl's temper worse and worse.
When she saw Gu Guangxin entering the house and ignoring her, she started crying loudly, "Mom, mom, I don't like it here, I want to go back to grandma's house."
No matter how much the old man likes to have many children and grandchildren, he has to choose according to their characteristics.
Especially when I saw the child crying regardless of the situation, I felt that this granddaughter was not well disciplined.
He angrily knocked on the table with his pipe and said, "Third brother, if your wife and children don't like their hometown, don't bring them back so that they won't be upset."
Before Gu Mingde could say anything, Lu Yan said, "Dad, why do you say that? The child is young and doesn't understand. If you don't help, don't make things worse, right?"
"How dare you!" Gu Guoqiang slammed the table hard.
This not only frightened Lu Yan so much that she shrank her neck, but Gu Guangmei was also too scared to make any more trouble.
Gu Mingde quickly admitted his mistake, "Dad, calm down. I'll tell them when I get back. I finally came back. Let's have a good talk as a family."
As he spoke, he seemed to have just noticed Gu Mingyue, “Hey, Mingyue is here;
I took a special leave today just to see Mingyue. Come, Mingyue, this is the mung bean cake your third sister-in-law bought for you."
Passing the mung bean cake to Gu Mingyue, he continued, "Your third sister-in-law has a bad temper, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. She has been worried about you these days and hasn't slept well.
Look, you've come back in a hurry, and now we can see that you look pretty well again, so we're relieved."
Gu Mingde's hypocritical words really made his uncle's expression calm down a lot.
Gu Mingyue glanced at the mung bean cake in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing.
Lu Yan started to show off again at this time, thinking that Gu Mingyue didn't say anything because she disliked the small amount of food, and curled her lips.
She was annoyed by these poor country relatives, if her father hadn't asked her to restrain herself.
Don't make a man unhappy and alienate him.
She didn't want to take her daughter back to this broken place.
"Mingyue, my third sister-in-law's family doesn't have much to offer, so I got up early in the morning to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some mung bean cakes. You should take good care of yourself, as you may not be able to eat them normally."
Gu Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law is right. I have never eaten this mung bean cake before. But my mother brought a lot of it to Third Sister-in-law when she took Xiao Shitou to the town. Did Third Sister-in-law bring it back without finishing it?
I really want to thank my third sister-in-law. Whenever my mother went to the city, she would get up early to make mung bean cakes because she was worried that my third sister-in-law would think we were asking for money.
I spent a lot of time and effort to make it and send it to you. I lived in the school dormitory at that time and couldn't eat it. Thanks to my third sister-in-law, I can eat the cakes made by my mother again. I am so happy. "
As soon as these words were spoken, my uncle's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense.
Gu Mingde really didn't know. He usually didn't care about these trivial matters at home.
I specifically told my wife to bring some things with me before I went out, but I didn't expect her to be able to do it.
Lu Yan's expression also changed. She was reluctant to give away her own things to these country people.
I just wanted to return the things given by the villagers.
She would not admit that she had the intention to humiliate others.
I just think this stinky girl has a dog nose. She can smell it even after the packaging has changed.
But she would not admit, "Oh, there is really no place to reason. I, as a sister-in-law, got up early to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for someone, and I was wrongly accused;
Gu Mingde, are you just going to watch your family bully me? ? Oh... I can't live like this anymore."
Gu Mingde reacted and immediately looked at Gu Mingyue with disapproval, "Little sister, I know you are in a bad mood because of the recent incident at home, but you can't just accuse others;
We are all family, Third Brother won't bother with you this time, but don't do this outside in the future."
Gu Mingyue: Wow! It smells so much like dad.
Gu Mingde is 40 years old this year. Because he has always lived in the city, he looks much younger than his older brothers.
In addition, he was wearing a pair of glasses, which made him look a little sanctimonious.
Gu Mingyue ignored him and took out a piece and handed it to Xiao Shitou. "Try it and see which one is better, the one made by grandma?"
Xiao Shitou took it without knowing why, and first broke off a small piece and handed it to Gu Guangxin who was standing beside him.
He broke off another piece and looked at Gu Guangmei, who snorted and turned away from him.
He didn't hesitate and put it directly into his mouth.
After taking a bite, he said excitedly, "Aunt, it tastes the same as grandma's. It's delicious. You should try it."
Gu Mingyue looked at Gu Mingde with a half-smile, "Third brother, do you know where Third Sister-in-law bought it? The taste is exactly the same as my mother's.
Not only can I smell it, even the little stones can taste it. I don’t know if this skill was learned from my mother or my mother learned it from others. Isn’t it a coincidence?”
Gu Mingde and his wife laughed it off and said, "Are children ignorant?"
If they really say it out loud, they will be throwing their face completely to the ground.
Gu Mingde was thick-skinned enough to say vaguely, "I'll ask about this next time I go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
By the way, Mingyue, I heard from my elder brother that you are going to build a house? Why did you think of this? "
Gu Mingde’s words aroused Gu Mingyue’s vigilance!
If she hadn't discovered the wooden box, she might have thought they were just chatting.
But Gu Mingde's flickering eyes made her heart tighten instantly.
Did he know about the box?
Unsure how much Gu Mingde actually knew, she simply said, "It's far from the village."
"That doesn't affect anything."
After saying this, he may have realized that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly explained, "I'm just worried that you don't have enough money. I remember that my uncle used good materials when he built that house. It's a bit of a waste."
"It's not in vain. Didn't I tell you, big brother, that I'm going to tear down that house and move the materials directly to the new house for reuse. There won't be any waste."
Gu Mingyue’s words made Gu Mingde nervous.
What if we find that thing when we rob the house? Or has it already been found?
Gu Mingde was suspicious and asked tentatively, "Rip out the house? That's a big project. You have to put your things in order and don't leave anything behind."
Gu Mingyue was now certain that Gu Mingde definitely knew about the wooden box.
She secretly looked at her uncle and the others, and there was no unusual expression on their faces. It seemed that only Gu Mingde knew the answer.
His repeated questioning tone made Gu Mingyue feel relieved.
Gu Mingde might not know as much as she does, otherwise he wouldn't be so secretive and ask so many questions.
The more he hides things, the more it proves that he is guilty, and the more guilty he is, the more it proves that the wooden box has nothing to do with him.
Since it has nothing to do with it, you are still testing me. Humph, you are not satisfied with taking advantage of me.
“Don’t worry, Third Brother. I have already talked to the villagers and will ask them to help me move when the time comes.
I'm going to take Little Stone to the city for a checkup in a few days, so it's a good time to move and build a house. What, is Third Brother planning to come back to help me?"
Gu Mingyue's words made Gu Mingde feel a little relieved.
If Mingyue had really found that thing, she would not have been so calm in asking the villagers for help.
Judging others by yourself, if it were him, he wouldn’t even have time to hide!
But, robbing the house?
It is only a matter of time before it is discovered, so it seems we have to find a solution as soon as possible.
