The good people the two children had spoken of had now become bitter enemies over a few dates.

Madam Qin grabbed Xiaoqing's hair, gritting her teeth, "You brat, don't you know how to respect your elders and care for the young?!"

Xiaoqing tore at Qin Niangzi's arm, her face contorted with rage, "I don't understand! My mother never taught me!!"

"Look at the way you're dying! It makes me angry just looking at you!"

"I'm getting angry just looking at your shameless face! Give me back my dates!"

While the two were arguing, Old Xu snatched all the dates and presented them to Lin Shuyun like a treasure.

"Yun, you eat, don't give any to these idiots."

The two men glared angrily at Old Man Xu.

In Gu Nanfeng's eyes, this scene was like the dead empress and the deposed crown prince fighting over a handful of sour dates, with the retired emperor adding fuel to the fire by snatching the dates and offering them to a young woman in her late teens.

This is so bizarre, so incredibly bizarre!

Is this world still real?

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Gu Chen noticed that Gu Nanfeng was acting strangely.

"No... I'm fine." Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

With mixed feelings, she said, "Gentlemen... please stop fighting. I'll have Jian pick a basketful; that should be enough to share."

"do not want!"

The group unanimously refused.

"The ones you picked don't taste good!" Old Xu chuckled.

Gu Nanfeng: ...

It's just a few sour jujubes, there are plenty in the mountains. What kind of magical jujubes did you pick?

I didn't understand, but I was greatly shocked.

"Little Fengfeng, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go up the mountain to chop wood! Otherwise, it will get dark soon!" Old Xu urged when he saw that the man hadn't moved.

Gu Nanfeng took another breath and said to his three nephews, "You stay put and behave yourselves. Your uncle will be back in a little while."

He took the opportunity to calm down while chopping wood.

"Why did you ask him to chop wood?" Lin Shuyun asked Old Man Xu while eating sour dates.

I must say, these dates are quite delicious. After we finish eating them, we'll plant the pits in our space and eat dates every day once they grow.

Her space is full of messy weeds, but it seems like there's hardly any fruit or anything like that. You can only grow what you plant.

"I'll build you a swing. If you're unhappy, just go swing on it and don't hide in the house and cry alone. Men are like clothes; if they don't work, just change them! If you're happy, we can change them every day!"

Lin Shuyun was speechless. When did she start crying in her room?

"cloud……"

Jiang Changtian was about to speak when Qin Niangzi pushed him aside.

Qin Niangzi put her arm around Lin Shuyun's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Old man, I love to hear you say that. Men are like clothes, you replace them when they're old, hahahaha."

Jiang Changtian: "Godfather, you..."

Before he could even speak, Old Xu glared at Jiang Changtian and said, "What? Am I wrong? What do you think you are? You're only good-looking, otherwise why would you be worthy of my Yun girl!"

After scolding Jiang Changtian, he then scolded Qingfeng and the other four: "What are you all looking at? You're as dumb as geese. Get to work!"

The five members of Qingfeng: First, they didn't speak, and second, they didn't provoke anyone.

Seeing that Old Man Xu was attacking indiscriminately, Lin Shuyun decided not to hold it against him for misunderstanding that she had cried.

"Old man, what would you like for dinner? You can order."

Old Xu rubbed his hands together with delight upon hearing this, "Girl, the wine you brewed..."

"Take it back, pretend I didn't say anything."

"No, I'll just have a sip, really just a sip..."

Old Xu followed Lin Shuyun to the kitchen.

Jiang Changtian didn't say a word from beginning to end; he was so anxious that his lips were almost blistered.

Qin Niangzi was watching the spectacle from the side when she saw Xiaoqing looking at her. She turned her head away, and Xiaoqing snorted and walked away.

Qin Niangzi also snorted and went back into the house.

Gu Chen, Gu Ru, Gu Bao: I don't understand, but doing more work should be the right thing to do.

Gu Nanfeng cut down a tree and carried it back with three of his subordinates. Before he could even say anything, Old Man Xu ordered him to do other work.

Then I was completely controlled by his commands.

Whenever Gu Nanfeng was about to lose his temper, he would immediately wilt when he saw the three strange people in the courtyard.

He's probably encountered a ghost. He'll send someone back to Shengjing to investigate what happened.

It wasn't until it was almost dark and all the people building the house had left that Gu Nanfeng finally had a chance to sit down, catch his breath, and have a drink of water.

Dinner was prepared by Lin Shuyun and Qin Niangzi together, and they cooked two dishes separately.

Lin Shuyun didn't like the communal cooking today, so she didn't eat any, and her third aunt took the rest with her.

Gu Bao placed a piece of food on Gu Nanfeng's plate and whispered, "Uncle, try this meat. It's so delicious. It's the best thing I've ever eaten."

Gu Nanfeng was exhausted after working all afternoon, both physically and mentally, but he still patted Gu Bao's head.

"From now on, just tell your uncle what you want to eat, and your uncle will never let you suffer again."

Everyone else ate quietly, but Jiang Changtian kept looking up at Lin Shuyun.

After dinner, Old Xu sent Gu Nanfeng to wash the dishes, and Gu Nanfeng then sent his two men to wash the dishes, before going to Gu Chen's room.

"Chen'er, what happened to you? When I went back to the Jiang family, I heard that your mother had gone out, and the three of you were taken away by your mother."

Gu Nanfeng asked Gu Chen, the oldest among them.

“What do you mean they’re gone? They divorced their mother!” Gu Bao corrected.

"Divorced? How could the Jiang family do such a thing!" Gu Nanfeng was both shocked and furious.

His sister, Gu Nanzhi, married into the Jiang family of Shengjing.

My brother-in-law, Jiang Hao, comes from a family of civil officials. Although his official rank is not high, he has a good reputation in Shengjing. How could such a family easily divorce his wife?

When he asked the Jiang family, they seemed reluctant to talk about it. He was in a hurry to find his three nephews and didn't investigate further.

Gu Chen's eyes reddened instantly, filled with resentment. "My mother was falsely accused of adultery by the Jiang family, who said we were all bastards. The Jiang family divorced her, and she took us away and changed our surname. Now we all have the surname Gu."

"Then why don't you go home? Go home and wait for your uncle to come back and stand up for you." Gu Nanfeng was filled with hostility upon hearing this.

How could his sister possibly commit adultery? It's clearly a frame-up. What a clean-living Jiang family!

Gu Ru spoke softly, "Mother took us there, but before we even arrived at the Gu family home, the Gu family said they didn't recognize their shameless daughter and bastard child, and they even beat my brother and mother."

Gu Chen's voice choked with emotion, "My mother was very ill when we left the Jiang family, and she eventually died. We buried her with the only valuable things we had. We had nowhere to go, so we came all the way to Wuyun County to find my eldest brother who was sent away back then."

Gu Nanfeng was filled with hatred and anger. He could tolerate the Jiang family, but how dare the Gu family treat his sister like this?

"You're saying your older brother was sent away back then?"

"Yes, it's Uncle Wu..."

"..."

Inside the room, Lin Shuyun was listening to Gu Chen and Gu Nanfeng's conversation when Jiang Changtian suddenly interrupted her.
