Chapter 58 - Divide the Family
Listening to Duran's pounding heartbeat, Gu Youan's heart was also out of proportion, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and his hand subconsciously wrapped around Duran's waist, and his eyes met, and Duran was suddenly awakened by his hot gaze.
She hurriedly pushed him away and looked to the side unnaturally, "Well, the bed is made, you go up and sleep." ”
"What about you?" Gu Youan retracted his mind and couldn't help asking.
Duran embarrassedly found a reason, "I'...... I'm going to do the math now, and when I'm divided tomorrow, I'll calculate how much it will cost to build a house and clean up the courtyard walls. ”
When Gu Youan heard this, he also stood still, his eyes fixed on her red face: "I'll help you settle the matter of building a house." ”
"No, I'll do it myself."
"You know how to build a house?" He frowned.
Well, I don't understand, but now her heart is very confused, and if she lies on the same bed with him, won't her heart be even more chaotic.
Seeing Du Lan's eyes flickering, Gu Youan couldn't help laughing, he took Du Lan's hand and blew out the oil lamp at once.
"Sleep, and plan for tomorrow."
The room was dark, and Duran still reflected Gu Youan's handsome smiling face just now in his mind, so he went to bed with him in a daze.
Closing her eyes, Du Lan reacted, Gu Youan's smile just now was very proud, she suddenly opened her eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Gu Youan, you don't think too much, hurry up and sleep." ”
"What did I think?" Gu You'an smiled in his voice, and a fine light flashed in his dark eyes.
"Pretend!" Duran snorted and rolled over towards the wall.
Since he is pretending to be confused, why do he have to expose it, isn't he deliberately looking ugly for himself.
Well, don't you know.
The faint moonlight sprinkled in the window, Gu Youan looked at her back, and his heart suddenly burned like a fiery fire, he really wanted to hug her into his arms, but he knew that Duran would not agree now.
Clenching his hands, he suppressed the urge and rolled over to face out.
At dawn the next day, when Duran got up, Gu Youan had already dressed himself, his eyes naturally looked at the white cloth strip on his head, and he said with concern: "Is your head better?" ”
"It's not a big deal."
"I'll go down to the field to plant beans after breakfast, and you can rest at home."
"How's that going to work? It's so hot, you have to plant as long as you want. ”
"Isn't there Brother Xue, he won't ignore our affairs." Duran said confidently.
"That's even worse, I have to go." Yesterday, she and Brother Xue were just misunderstood, and today they are working alone in the fields, doesn't it make the gossip true.
The two were arguing in the house, and suddenly there was a rough boy's voice in the courtyard, which was the unique voice of a boy of thirteen or fourteen.
"Sister, are you at home?"
Gu Youan turned his head to look out the door: "It's your brother." ”
Du Liang? This kid came early in the morning, there must be something.
Du Lan tidied up his clothes, raised his feet and walked out, Du Liang walked quickly to the door of the house, and immediately grabbed Du Lan's hand, "Sister, save your mother." ”
Du Lan looked at him indifferently, and retracted his hand by the way: "I am no longer a member of the Du family, and the affairs of the Du family have nothing to do with me." ”
"Sister, that's our mother, don't you know your father's temper? He just likes to do things impulsively, and doesn't think about the consequences, don't you plan like him, okay? ”
Du Lan glanced at Du Liang strangely, this kid is much stronger than his father, and he can distinguish between good and bad.
"Sister, you must be angry with your father to ignore your mother, right?"
Duran didn't say anything.
Du Liang was overjoyed, felt that he had guessed correctly, and said excitedly: "I know that my sister is not hard-hearted, I will definitely talk to my father when I go back, so that he will not embarrass you again in the future." ”
"Will your father listen to you?" Duran glanced at him disdainfully, a half-old child could convince the donkey.
"Listen, if he doesn't save his mother this time, I'll ...... I won't give him a pension and send him to the end of my life, see if he listens or not. ”
Oh, this kid still said such cruel things, and it was really good. If you practice it, you may be able to achieve something in the future.
Although she has the heart to help the Zhao family, but yesterday in front of so many people, she broke off relations with the Du family, if she easily agreed to this child, wouldn't it make people think that she was untrustworthy.
As the saying goes, if people are not ruthless, they cannot stand steadily, especially in a society where women have a low status.
Du Lan said with a cold face and not politely: "I can promise you, but you must also know what Doctor Xue said, and this cost is not small." ”
Du Liang was stunned when he heard this.
Duran glanced at him faintly and continued: "From now on, if you help me work every day, you will be worth your wages. ”
Du Liang nodded excitedly, almost crying with joy, "Well, I know, I must work hard for my sister." ”
He knew that his sister wouldn't really care about the life or death of her family.
"What does my sister want me to do, I'll go now."
Gu Youan shook his head with a chuckle, and persuaded Du Lan as he walked out: "Okay, Du Liang is a child after all, don't take it seriously." ”
Hearing this, Du Liang hurriedly looked back, saw the gauze bandaged on his forehead, and immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, is your head okay?" ”
"It's just a small injury. Your sister is joking with you, you better go home and take care of your mother. ”
Du Liang looked at Du Lan and hesitated for a moment.
Duran waved his hand at him, "Do you know where the Gu family's field is?" ”
Du Liang nodded.
"Just know, you can wait for me in the field now and help me plant beans together." Duran said in a stiff tone.
After hearing this, Du Liang walked out happily.
"You, you're always knife-mouthed tofu heart, in fact, you can't help but want to help your mother's family for a long time." Gu You'an said a word, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Du Lan in her heart, when she was delirious, the Du family was unkind and unjust to her, but she thought about family affection in the end.
With a slight tremor in his heart, Duran said "self-righteousness" and entered the room.
After a while, Xue Yan came over for breakfast, first went to say hello to Old Man Gu, and then chatted.
Gu Youan apologized to Xue Yan with a ashamed face: "Brother Xue, I can't help but be sorry for the facts of yesterday, and I didn't expect my cousin-in-law to lead the villagers to break into your house." ”
Xue Yan waved his hand indifferently, "I don't care, as long as Duran's reputation is not damaged." ”
Du Lan brought a few bowls of rice and chuckled: "The body is not afraid of shadows, but those who have ill intentions will feel more uncomfortable." ”
Old Man Gu sighed, this Xu Cui'e will trouble them if she has nothing to do, and if you live together again, I am afraid that life will not be able to live.
"Okay, let's eat first, and we'll talk about it when they come back."
Duran nodded, after breakfast, she picked up a shovel and bib and was about to plant beans, Old Man Gu and Gu Youan shouted to help together, but Duran refused.
Xue Yan was about to go with Du Lan, Du Lan turned to Xue Yan and smiled: "Brother Xue is kind-hearted, since you want to help me, why don't you go and help me catch some fish, I hope to send it to Wuwei Zhai at noon." ”
Xue Yan patted his chest and promised that no matter how much he caught, he would definitely catch fish for her as soon as possible.
On the side, Gu Youan hurriedly said, "I will help Brother Xue catch it together, but you must be careful." ”
Duran waved his hand into the courtyard and walked out as he spoke: "Don't worry, I can already use a shovel." ”
When he came to the field, Du Liang was really sitting on the ground. When he heard footsteps, he hurriedly stood up.
"Sister, you're here." He flashed a far-fetched smile at Duran.
"Well, I dig a pit in front, you throw beans into the pit, and then bury the pit with soil, and finally step on it, understand?"
Du Liang nodded, "I will." ”
Poor children are in charge of the family early, and Du Liang has followed his father to the fields since he was eight years old, and he has long been able to plant beans.
Duran gave him an appreciative look, and the two of them toiled in the fields one after the other.
The sun had risen, and the scorching light was baking the earth like an oven.
Xu Cui'e's family hurriedly loosened the soil in the field, finished their work in time and began to walk home.
Seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, Xu Cui'e discussed with Gu Zhiping about the incident that Du Lan mentioned about the separation of the family yesterday.
I only mentioned it last night, Gu Zhiping said that he would not break up, Xu Cui'e felt a little more stable, but thinking about Du Lan's temperament, I am afraid that I will not stop if I don't achieve my goal.
She looked at her man worriedly, "Zhiping, if you go back to Duran and make trouble again, you have to bite your mouth to death, and you must not promise her." ”
Gu Chunyan walked behind her parents, and when she heard them say that they were separated, she immediately turned her mind and quickly caught up with Xu Cui'e.
"Mother, you said that Duran wants to separate from us?"
"What's wrong? Adults talk, children don't interject. Gu Zhiping turned his head unhappily and reprimanded.
"Dad, grandpa and Brother You'an have been eating and drinking in our house for nothing for all these years, but you treat grandpa like a father. You'an is nominally your nephew, but you also treat him as half a son. Since they proposed to divide the family, we will divide it with them. ”
As soon as Xu Cui'e heard her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter's words contained deep meaning, "Girl, do you have any ideas?" ”
Gu Chunyan's eyes flashed with treachery, "Brother You'an has no father or mother, his father and mother brought him up like his own son, and now that he has a family and a career, it is reasonable that he wants to split up." Let's better follow the usual division and share a good score with Brother You'an. ”
"How do you divide it well?" Gu Zhiping looked at his daughter suspiciously.
"Isn't Brother You'an doing business? They don't make less money. It stands to reason that Dad wants to kick them out, and the villagers will laugh at Dad for being ruthless and unjust. But this time they offered to split up, and if they were willing to move out, they would move out. If you want to share the house with us, you can take the money out, and my father and mother can't support them for all these years. ”
Gu Zhiping glared at his daughter, "Nonsense, your grandfather has covered these rooms, and our two husbands have repaid the favor." ”
"Dad, now it's Duran who wants to share the room with us, what kind of kindness do you want, it's they who turn their faces in the front, we are unrighteous in the back, the village wants to laugh at them, and it is also a joke for their grandparents and grandchildren, what are you worried about."
Xu Cui'e listened on the side, and a touch of pride immediately flashed in her eyes, "It's still my daughter who is smart, so I'll listen to my daughter about this." ”
Gu Zhiping didn't respond, muttering whether he should do this or not.
Xu Cui'e couldn't help but persuade: "In charge, they are unkind to us, what are you hesitating about." ”
