Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

As he spoke, Gu Wu actually pulled a handful of beans out of his pocket. Seeing that they were indeed fried beans, the village chief had no doubts.

"You're always slacking off, when will you ever do anything productive? Your older brother works so hard at the academy, why don't you learn from him?"

“Dad, you’re putting me in a difficult position. Although my brother and I were born from the same mother, we are still two different people with two different minds. My brother can study because he’s smart, but I’m not.”

The village chief has two sons. The elder son, Gu Wen, is a scholar at Longxing Academy and comes back once a month.

The youngest son is named Gu Wu. He's still a teenager and all he does is play. He doesn't want to do anything else!

It's driving this old father crazy with worry!

Seeing that the beans he had picked out were being rejected, Gu Wu stuffed them into his pocket and left, making sure to tell the village chief before he left.

"Dad, don't compare my older brother to me anymore. I can't compare to him, and I'm destined to disappoint you."

On the other side, Lin Bao felt that his younger sister did not believe him at all, so he went to find Gu Zhan to ask what had happened in the past few days.

Gu Zhan looked up at him: "Scarface has come to Gu Family Village."

Lin Bao was completely stunned by just that one sentence.

"Damn it, what is that bastard doing here? Where is he now? I'll drag him out and give him a good beating."

As Lin Bao was about to go find someone, Gu Zhan saw him walk out the door and then said leisurely, "He's at the Gu family's house."

He came to the Gu family on the day he was injured, and has been staying there ever since. The Gu family has been applying medicine to him, preparing medicine for him, and providing him with a place to stay. His injury is almost completely healed now.

Lin Bao, who was already furious, was completely devastated when he heard what came next. How could that damn thing be so lucky?

He had never enjoyed such treatment before, so how come he was so lucky to have encountered it?

In the past, when he was injured, his younger sister would just take some herbs, rub them together into a mess, and paste it on his wound without paying any attention to it.

According to his younger sister, it can disinfect and stop bleeding; as long as he doesn't die, that's all that matters.

But now this piece of junk is not only drinking his sister's drinks, but also living in his sister's house. This is simply outrageous.

Lin Bao was still preparing to drag the man out, but as soon as he took a step forward, he heard again: "He told your sister that he was injured while helping you brothers."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bao turned around and stared at Gu Zhan with wide eyes. Gu Zhan glanced at him and suddenly felt a little afraid that Lin Bao's eyes would pop out of their sockets.

"What did you just say? I don't think I heard you clearly. Could you repeat it?"

Gu Zhan seemed to be in a good mood today, and then very patiently repeated what he had just said.

Lin Bao, who was about to arrest someone, suddenly rushed in and grabbed Gu Zhan: "So what are you doing? Why did you let things get like this?"

Gu Zhan looked at the angry man in front of him but did not explain anything, because it was indeed his fault.

If he had kept a close eye on things during those days, Scarface wouldn't have been able to go to the Gu family, let alone see Lin Cai.

"I've taken every precaution to keep everyone out of trouble, but there's still one left out here. If those two find out, they'll beat me to a pulp!"

"There's nothing wrong with letting people stay at the Gu family home. Once they've recovered, we'll have someone to watch over the house and guard the property."

"You make it sound so easy. Do you really think my little sister would leave someone to live in the Gu family home?"

He was able to visit the Gu family often because of his status as the third brother. If he weren't Lin Bao, or that girl's third brother, he probably wouldn't even be able to get in the door.

Gu Zhan fell silent upon hearing this. Indeed, she was too guarded and never wanted to have excessive contact with others.

If he hadn't been injured in front of her a few times, she probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance if they walked past each other.

At the Gu family home, Gu Dachui placed the lunch for lunch on a wooden board. When Daoba got up and saw a bowl of thick mixed grain porridge, his face turned a little pale.

"Hey Gu, is your family really so poor that you can't even afford to eat? You're eating this stuff every other day. If you keep eating this, you'll turn into ribs!"

"We haven't been doing any business lately, and nobody's come up the mountain, so we don't have the money to eat anything good."

"People say that those who live near the mountains live off the mountains. You have such a big mountain behind you, don't you even know to go in and take a look?"

He wanted to eat meat. He could eat meat every day when he was in town, but now he hadn't been able to eat meat even once in several days. He was really craving it.

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Dachui wanted to tell him that it was not safe on the mountain, but before he could say anything, he heard something else.

"What you said is right, so why don't you go yourself? Don't forget, you're also living here. We haven't made you pay for food or rent, not a single penny. You still want to eat meat? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Lin Cai walked in from outside. She looked at the bowl of sticky mixed grain porridge, walked over, and prepared to pick it up.

"Eat it or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat it, then we can eat more."

Before she could even touch it, the bowl of porridge was taken away, and then she heard a gurgling sound as someone finished the whole bowl of porridge in one go.

Then he handed the bowl to Gu Dachui: "Mixed grain porridge is still porridge, it can fill your stomach, and I hate being hungry the most."

Seeing that he had finished the porridge, Lin Cai rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Gu Dachui followed him out, closing the door behind him. As the door closed, Scarface rolled his eyes.

Although we didn't get to eat meat, at least we filled our stomachs, which is better than going hungry.

Upon entering the main room, Gu Dachui looked at the bowl of meat in the middle of the table, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself. Ershi glanced at Lin Cai and then at his own elder brother.

She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth: "Big brother, all the meat in our family comes from our third uncle, it's all for her."

The "she" she was referring to was naturally Lin Cai. Er Shi was reminding his elder brother that the meat was brought over by Lin Bao for Lin Cai and had nothing to do with them.

The reason the brothers could eat was because Lin Cai treated them as family. As for the one in the woodshed, he had nothing to do with them, so he only got a bowl of gruel.

Lin Cai was surprised that Er Shi could think so clearly, and then asked, "Er Shi, your older brother has a business, and your younger siblings have things to learn, so what about you? What do you want to do?"

"Can I choose the one I like?"

Ershi swallowed the rice in his mouth and asked expectantly.

"Of course, you can choose whichever you like."
