Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

On the way back after saying goodbye to Zhao Baogen, Gu Zhan was full of worries. Liu Xiaoxi did not disturb him and walked quietly beside him.

After returning to the Gu family, Gu Zhan hurried into the room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the major events that happened at this time in his previous life. He pondered over them over and over again to avoid forgetting the key points.

The kitchen was occupied, and Liu Xiaoxi couldn't cook at the moment. She simply sat on the kang and watched Gu Zhan busying himself at the table with his head down. She didn't say anything, and time flowed quietly in the silence between the two of them.

It was almost half past seven. After Zhao Hongmei finished washing the dishes, Liu Xiaoxi got up from the kang to cook.

Because Gu Zhan was in a bad mood, Liu Xiaoxi didn't have any appetite today, so she simply took two eggs to make egg drop soup and ate it with the pancakes she had made in the morning.

Before I had taken a few bites of the meal, there was a knock on the wooden door of the room.

"Who is it?" Liu Xiaoxi asked.

Gu Zhan also stopped eating and looked towards the door with cold eyes.

"Little bastard, come and open the door for me." Zhao Dani's hoarse and sharp voice sounded at the door.

Liu Xiaoxi shifted her gaze to Gu Zhan's face, only to see that Gu Zhan ignored Zhao Dani's shouting outside the door and continued drinking the soup in the bowl.

Zhao Dani was very patient. Seeing that she couldn't open Gu Zhan's door, she started kicking the door in anger.

The dilapidated and rotten wooden door made a dull and trembling sound under the pressure.

"Sit on the kang." Gu Zhan said.

"Oh"

Zhao Dani was an unreasonable person. Liu Xiaoxi was pregnant and was afraid that Zhao Dani would come in and get hurt. So after Gu Zhan said that, she obediently went to sit on the kang.

After seeing Liu Xiaoxi sit down, Gu Zhan finished the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, stood up, and suddenly opened the door.

Zhao Dani stretched out her foot to kick the door again, but it hit nothing and she almost fell forward to the ground.

"You bastard, how dare you!" Zhao Dani was furious and raised the rolling pin in her hand to hit Gu Zhan, but was stopped by Gu Mancang who rushed forward.

He winked at Zhao Dani vigorously, and when she ignored him, he grabbed the rolling pin in her hand and whispered in her ear, "Mom, please be patient. Let's talk about serious matters."

Thinking of her son's instructions before coming here, Zhao Dani put down the rolling pin, glanced at Gu Zhan with contempt, and stretched out her right hand, which was as dry as a stick: "Where's the money? Give it to me!"

Gu Zhan didn't say anything. His dark eyes looked at the two selfish people opposite him with a smile, as if he was listening to a very funny joke.

Zhao Dani had been suppressing her anger, but when she saw Gu Zhan's mocking look, she felt that her dignity was challenged for a moment, and pointed the rolling pin in her hand at Gu Zhan again.

Gu Zhan didn't move.

Seeing that the rolling pin was about to hit Gu Zhan, Gu Mancang quickly stepped forward to stand between the two of them: "Mom, calm down."

"Nephew, look at you... what are you saying? Your grandma is already so old, and you are so young, you can't make her angry, right?"

Gu Zhan sneered: "What Second Uncle said makes sense, so what?"

"Look, your aunt, your grandparents, and I raised you up without asking anything from you. Now you're making money, right? Hehehe..."

Gu Mancang scratched his head and continued, "Now that you've made money, shouldn't you also show some filial piety to us, your relatives?"

This was the first time Liu Xiaoxi saw Gu Mancang so shameless.

In her impression of the almost one year since she got married, Gu Mancang was a silent person with little presence in the Gu family. It seemed that his wife was the one who always blocked things in the way, and he rarely spoke.

Today, this person completely shattered her perception of him. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?

Gu Zhan lowered his head and glanced at his fingers, then turned his gaze to Gu Mancang: "Oh? Support me, second uncle, tell me, how does the Gu family support me?"

Hearing Gu Zhan's question, Gu Mancang became anxious and hurriedly explained: "We provide you with food, housing, and schooling. Isn't that considered supporting you?"

"Oh, then according to what Second Uncle said, I live in the house my father left me, go out to work and earn money and work points, go hungry one day and eat the cold and stale rice you left for me, and that's how you support me?"

Hearing Gu Zhan's words, Gu Mancang felt a little guilty: "Hey, why do you talk like that, kid? Isn't this how we live our lives?"

"Then may I ask, why don't you let Gu Jun live this kind of life as well?"

"This..." Gu Mancang was speechless, wondering in his heart, when did this nephew become so eloquent?

Seeing that Gu Mancang was powerless to refute, Zhao Dani took out her usual tantrum and took a half step closer to Gu Zhan: "Bastard, give me the money quickly, or I will make you pay."

Seeing that Zhao Dani was still stubborn, Gu Zhan looked at her with a smile and said, "Tell me, old man, how are you going to make me look bad?"

"You...you...you wild..."

"I advise you to think carefully before you curse." Gu Zhan said word by word.

Frightened by Gu Zhan's sudden cold expression, Zhao Dani staggered back half a step.

Following Zhao Dani's footsteps, Gu Zhan moved forward.

"What...what are you going to do?" Zhao Dani started to panic.

Gu Zhan ignored the flustered Zhao Dani and continued walking forward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Dani quickly turned around and ran out, taking Gu Mancang with her as she retreated.

"Just wait for me, you little bastard."

After cursing, Zhao Dani ran into the main room.

Gu Zhan stepped out of the room and saw Gu Dali standing at the door.

He looked at Gu Dali with a sarcastic look and whispered, "You want this money too?"

Gu Dali was silent. Just when Gu Zhan thought he would remain silent forever, Gu Dali spoke: "After all, the Gu family raised you to adulthood."

Gu Zhan just felt that he had placed too much hope on this old man who was related to him.

After Zhao Dani left the room, Liu Xiaoxi pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.

When she heard what Gu Dali said, she could no longer hold back the urge to speak up for Gu Zhan. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She ran out and stood beside Gu Zhan, glaring at Gu Dali angrily.

"Raise him? What did you, the Gu family, raise him for? He grew up eating food from many families and wearing clothes from many families. Now that he's successful, you come to take the credit, right? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Grandpa, tomorrow go out and ask the people of Shanghe Village how Gu Zhan managed to grow up under the care of you, his family?"

This remark actually included insults to Gu Dali, but Gu Dali was indeed unable to refute it.

He didn't have the face to ask Gu Zhan for the money, but Zhao Dani kept pestering him, so he had no choice but to come out.

Zhao Dani sat in the room, gazing at the young couple with gritted teeth, and cursed in a low voice, "Little bastard, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
