At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

After the two happy brothers walked into the house hand in hand, they were greeted by their mother's scolding.

"Your uncle just sent a message saying that you and aunt had a fight, right? Can you guys be more sensible? I lost my parents early, and your uncle is my only brother. He's the only relative I have left in this world. If I don't get along well with him, do I have to rely on you when I'm old?"

"Of course you have to rely on us, Mom!"

The second brother stiffened his neck and said, "My uncle is selfish and timid. Everything in the family is decided by my aunt. Now that we can help, she is still so mean, not to mention when we each get married in the future..."

"Shut up!" Mother was very angry and coughed for a long time. She drank a few sips of water before she recovered. "How can you be so unfilial? You only think about yourself and don't consider me at all?!"

Gu Sanmu looked at his mother and then at his second brother in confusion, really not knowing which side to stand on, and then naturally he was scolded as well.

Not long after that, news of Dad's death in battle reached the village.

After the family cried for a long time, the mother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving the pension, my mother gave half of it to Gu Damao and instructed him, "Take this money to your uncle and apologize to him sincerely. Sanmu, you come with him."

Gu Sanmu felt as if his mother's words were still lingering in his ears.

"I raised your uncle since he was a child. I know he's not a petty person. As long as you send this money over and say a few nice words, he will definitely forgive us."

Gu Ermiao rushed into the house angrily, almost roaring.

"Mom, you're really confused! How could you give the money Dad risked his life to ungrateful people like uncle and his gang?"

"Ermiao, you're really going to piss me off to death!"

Mother was coughing so hard that she was out of breath. In the end, Gu Sanmu couldn't bear to let her continue to be sad, so he agreed to do the job.

But he didn't expect that after he handed over the money, his aunt still didn't give him a good look, and didn't even say the polite words of inviting him to stay for dinner.

After he left the house, he heard laughter coming from his uncle's house that almost blew the roof off.

My uncle said, "Look, that's what I said. If we just ignore her, my sister, that fool, will definitely send us money! My brainless brother-in-law died at the right time!"

My aunt's laughter was sharp and piercing.

"With this money, our life will be much easier! Tomorrow I'll go to town and make two new sets of clothes for the whole family..."

"..."

Gu Sanmu listened blankly to the bursts of laughter coming from his uncle's house, and walked back home with an empty stomach and heavy steps.

As soon as he entered the door, he was not greeted by his mother's concern, but by questions about whether his uncle had said he forgave them.

Gu Sanmu suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask.

Later, of course, he was beaten again...

Gu Sanmu threw these messy memories out of his head, thinking that no matter what happened in the past, after his mother woke up, she never mentioned his uncle's family, and was ruthless to his uncle's family, whom he used to rely on very much.

So he believed that his mother would definitely not protect his uncle like she did before.

Seeing that Gu Sanmu was dumb and silent, Lin Bufan, who was not a small tool, spat with a gloomy face.

"Hmph, what am I doing here? You still have the nerve to ask! Of course I'm here to give your family some money! I'm afraid if I'm too late, not only will I be punished by your mother, but I'll also be sued! I'm so unlucky! How could I have such relatives like you!"

After saying that, he pushed Gu Sanmu away and walked into the yard.

Gu Sanmu looked at his uncle's back, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He was not as smart as his second brother, and could not tell whether what his uncle said was true or false, and what exactly he wanted to do by coming here at this time.

But he remembered what his mother had said: if there was anything he was unsure about, he should just hold off and wait until she came back to discuss everything.

So he took three or two steps forward to catch up with his uncle, and was shocked to find that after just over a month of not seeing his uncle, who was originally not tall, was now only as tall as his nose.

To be honest, my uncle's profile is about 30% similar to my mother's, but his personality is completely different (especially after my mother wakes up, of course).

My uncle always has a depressed face, with his tight thin lips turned down, and his chin slightly lowered when looking at people, as if he is full of doubts about everything.

What makes people even more frightened is that most of the time, my uncle would remain silent, but when he spoke, he would eat and take things.

After entering the yard, Lin Bufan looked around and snorted in disdain.

Didn’t they say that my sister’s temperament changed drastically and she acted like a madman. She first beat up her own brother-in-law and took back a lot of money from him?

On the way here, he heard that his sister started a steamed bun business and made a lot of money in just two days. How come the yard is still as big and shabby as when she got married?

There was nothing added that could be moved away.

I shouldn’t have come here if I had known!

Lin Bufan's hawk-like eyes patrolled the yard for several circles and he deliberately called out loudly several times, but he didn't expect that except Gu Sanmu, no one came out to greet him.

Tsk, it seems he has become so successful in making money that he dares to stay in the house and not come out!

The dissatisfaction accumulated in Lin Bufan's heart almost burst out of his throat.

"Oh, sister, now that you have money, you have become more well-behaved. When your brother comes, instead of going out to greet him, you hide away from him. If someone doesn't know, they would think I'm here to collect a debt!"

Gu Sanmu was afraid that he would yell and attract the uncle next door, so he hurriedly explained: "Uncle, it's not like that. Mom took my eldest and second brothers out today for something. It's not that I didn't mean to see you."

Something's wrong?

Lin Bufan frowned. What does that mean?

Seeing that Lin Yuanxin, who was hiding behind the stove, was about to stand up, Gu Sanmu hurriedly waved his hand to signal her not to show up.

"Uncle, if you really want to see mother, why not wait until tomorrow?"

Gu Sihe also put down his pen and walked out the door. He stood on the steps, looking down at Lin Bufan, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, you're a man of your word. Since you said you'd come to pay back the money, you must be ready, right? Why don't you just give us the money? Don't worry, we'll definitely explain everything to Mom when she comes back."

Lin Bufan looked at the two half-grown children suspiciously, his little eyes turning back and forth several times.

How come these two kids seem to have been completely transformed after just a few days of not seeing them?

In the past, they definitely wouldn't be able to speak a complete sentence.

But now, these two people are telling me to put down the money and leave...

Lin Bufan almost immediately determined——

There is fraud in it!

So he stiffened his neck and said, "What an ignorant young man! When an elder comes, instead of offering me a cup of tea, you chase me away! Humph, your mother, did my sister say when she would be back?"

Gu Sanmu shook his head and did not answer.

Gu Sihe still smiled and said, "Uncle, if you are worried, why don't you just stay here today? When mother comes back, you can tell her directly if you have anything to say."

Lin Bufan narrowed his eyes and wanted to accept his suggestion, but for some reason his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a very bad premonition.
