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

What are you two doing here?

Gu Xuewen immediately began questioning him, his tone extremely unpleasant.

Ershi didn't even look at him, but turned to look at Grandpa Li driving the oxcart: "Grandpa Li, can we go now?"

Just now he said he was leaving, but Grandpa Li said that not everyone had arrived yet. Now two more people have arrived, so everyone should be here by now, right?

Seeing that Ershi ignored him, Gu Xuewen got on the oxcart and said, "You illiterate man who can't read a single character, yet you try to carry a book bag. Do you really think that carrying a book bag will allow you to study?"

He saw the book bag that Sanhu was carrying and assumed that Sanhu was young and wanted to go to school, but Gu Dachui and the others couldn't do it for him, so they made this thing to amuse the child.

Gu Xuewen spoke sarcastically, and Ershi and Sanhu glanced at him indifferently. The two brothers turned their heads away in perfect unison.

They learned a lot from Lin Cai recently, including how not to associate with idiots or mentally challenged people.

At this moment, Gu Xuewen was a fool in their eyes, and a really big fool at that.

Upon hearing what Gu Xuewen said, Gu Wen glanced at Sanhu, and then at Ershi.

He noticed that the two brothers had changed; they were different from before. When he went back and saw them before, there was no light in their eyes.

But at this moment, there was a light in the eyes of the two people, and something else he couldn't see in them.

With the oxcart, they soon arrived at Gujia Village. Sanhu, who was guarding the house, thanked Grandpa Li and then skipped back home.

Ershi didn't fall behind either, chasing after his younger brother while telling him to slow down. He had only run two steps when Gu Xuewen called him back.

"Gu Ershi, you stop right there."

"what?"

Ershi turned to look at Gu Xuewen, his brows furrowed, clearly not wanting to see Gu Xuewen's expression.

"I'm your brother, after all. Are you just going to leave like that? Didn't you see I didn't pay for the ride?"

They always paid for the ride after they got home, and this time was no exception.

But when he went to see Juan Niang today, he left all the money he had with him there, and now he doesn't have a single copper coin on him.

When Ershi heard what he said, he thought the man was being ridiculous and immediately replied, "What does it matter to me if you don't have money?"

What does it matter to me if he doesn't have money? Does he expect me to pay for his bus fare?

You've gone stupid from reading too much, otherwise why would you think like that?

Gu Xuewen's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. He had thought that Ershi would be sensible enough to take out the money.

Unexpectedly, not only did the man not take out the money, but he also looked very disdainful as he left.

If there weren't two other people nearby, Gu Xuewen would have really wanted to go over and grab the person and beat them up.

In the end, for those two copper coins, your uncle had no choice but to go to Old Gu's house with Gu Xuewen to get the money.

Li Guixiang, who had just given away two copper coins, reluctantly put away her money bag and stared at her son's back.

"Xuewen, didn't I give you money when you went? Have you spent it all?"

"You know what kind of life we're in now, when you spend money, could you please..."

Li Guixiang wanted to tell her son not to spend money so extravagantly, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

“Mother, five taels of silver can’t do much at the academy. It’s not even enough to treat my classmates to a meal. That’s why I don’t dare to befriend them!”

His words were meant to tell Li Guixiang that he had been very frugal, and that his five taels of silver were nothing compared to others.

Hearing this, Li Guixiang gritted her teeth. She knew her son had already suffered enough, and the cause of all this was the third son's family!

If the third son were still alive, he would definitely send a sum of money for his old lady every month. Although it was meant for the old lady in the family, wouldn't it all end up in the pockets of the eldest son's family anyway?

Sitting in the house, Gu Xuewen also thought of this. He came out and looked at Li Guixiang: "Mother, is there some good news from Uncle San's side?"

There was something wrong with the two brothers, Ershi and Sanhu. He hadn't noticed it much in the car before, but now that he thought about it, he realized that the two brothers had grown up together.

They don't seem like children who are chronically hungry or whose next meal is uncertain.

"Of course their family has good things going on, and quite a lot of them, but they have many tricks up their sleeves, so we outsiders can't get involved!"

Li Guixiang seemed to have found someone to confide in, and told him everything that had happened during this period. Gu Xuewen listened and looked at Li Guixiang.

"What about the money they earned? Since they made money, didn't they use some to support Grandma?"

There's an old lady in the Gu family. Even if Gu Dachui has no feelings for his uncles and can ignore them, he can't treat the old lady the same way.

Moreover, Lin Cai is currently the wife of the third branch of the Gu family. Being filial to her mother-in-law is something a wife should do. If Lin Cai refuses, then there will be a lot to talk about.

When Li Guixiang heard what Gu Xuewen said, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Why hadn't she thought of her old lady at home before?

She had always tried to use her status to intimidate Lin Cai and Gu Dachui, but the two of them were both incredibly arrogant and she couldn't scare them at all.

Even if she can't scare that bitch Lin Cai by sending the old woman over, surely Gu Dachui won't just abandon her, right?

The thought of being able to keep Gu Dachui in check and the countless sums of money she would have to spend filled Li Guixiang with uncontrollable excitement.

Even when cooking, they would add an extra two drops of oil, which the second wife of the Gu family could immediately tell from the taste.

Aunt Gu and Zhao Laidi, having tasted the flavor, rolled their eyes and exclaimed, "Did you find money on the street today, sister-in-law?"

Otherwise, why would they be willing to use oil?

Li Guixiang had just brought out a bowl of pickled vegetables when she heard this, and she slammed the bowl of pickled vegetables on the table.

"If there's food, then eat it. Why all the nonsense? If you're not going to eat, then get out."

Zhao Laidi only asked one question, and Li Guixiang immediately exploded. Despite being scolded, Zhao Laidi was not angry at all, but instead smiled and begged her to stay calm.

After finishing her meal, Zhao Laidi wiped her mouth and, as if her feet were greased, quickly ran back to the second room.

The door slammed shut so loudly that it startled everyone in the main room. Li Guixiang heard the noise, stepped out, and yelled, "Have you eaten yet? Can't you be a little more careful? Who's going to take responsibility if you break something?"

She spoke rudely and had a very loud voice, but the second wife's side didn't react at all when they heard her.

Zhao Laidi was happy now and didn't want to lower herself to her level.

She looked at Gu Yinniu excitedly: "Husband, guess what I discovered today?"
