Chapter 2: The Arrival of the Brother-in-law

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xia Ting followed the eldest lady to cook.

When the meal was about to be cooked, there was a sound of the door opening. It's just, it's also a little noisy?

Why is anyone here today? Xia Ting was unwell, and it was a challenge for her to meet so many strangers at once. She was a sick child in her previous life, and more often than not, she was facing four white walls, and her memories of interpersonal communication were a little distant.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what kind of food is so fragrant today, and I don't ask my brother-in-law to come over for a gathering, it's not okay to eat alone." A loud voice sounded outside the door, but the content of the words was not very good.

The eldest lady's face turned white, her eyes were a little panicked, she wiped her skirt casually with both hands, pulled up the smile on her lips, and replied a little weakly: "Uncle is here, what is delicious, isn't it all some bad bran vegetables, what is the situation in our family, you don't know." ā€

When he went out, he remembered Xia Ting, who was standing silently next to him, hid her in the corner, and whispered a warning: "Hide here, don't come out!" ā€

Xia Ting didn't know why, but he still nodded.

"Say these things...... Oops, I didn't expect that the fourth brother has been gone for so many years, in order to give the fourth brother the burial money, we sold all the pots in the house, and now, Xiao Tao is married but even a dowry is not honorable, I am really a father ......"

"Uncle say these things well, big baby, ...... you say"

The eldest lady was a little embarrassed on her face.

Gu Lin took out 10 copper plates from his body, "The family is busy with spring planting, and there is no extra money." ā€

The man looked at the copper coins and seemed to be a little unwilling, and wanted to say something, Gu Yu opened the somewhat inflamed wound he got today, "Uncle, look, I'm helping in your field today, this wound hasn't been treated yet, Doctor Genzi seems to be in the village during this time!" ā€

"Ah, it's not early, you should eat, and I'm going back, lest the mother-in-law at home say this and that again, fourth sister-in-law, let's go."

Gu Yu looked at the man who was almost deserted and fled sarcastically, turned around and followed his eldest brother to the kitchen.

The eldest lady sighed, touched the tears in the corners of her eyes, and followed the two brothers.

The three of them came to the kitchen, the food was already neatly arranged on the table, Xia Ting stood aside restrainedly, and said a little shyly: "Auntie, two eldest brothers, you can eat." ā€

The eldest lady was the first to react, sat down with a smile on her face, and praised Xia Ting, praising her even more embarrassed.

Gu Lin immediately sat down and ate. Gu Yu glanced at Xia Ting, nodded with a smile, and then started eating.

Xia Ting ate gruel and learned a little about the personalities of the two brothers. The eldest brother is more indifferent and silent, and the younger brother is more gentle, so it should be easier to get along with.

If she wants to stay, she should beg her brother to be better.

"If you're almost well, leave tomorrow."

Xia Ting was still thinking about how to tell Gu Yu, and when he heard Gu Lin's words, he choked on a mouthful of porridge in shock, so he was embarrassed.

"Big baby, what do you mean by that? People Ah Ting just got out of bed, you just told people to go, how can there be someone like you! Erwa, what do you say? ā€

Without waiting for Xia Ting to answer, the eldest lady first objected and tried to pull the camp.

Gu Yu smiled silently, just looked at Xia Ting, his eyes were gentle, and if he looked closely, he would find that there was a little interest hidden in it.

Gu Lin ignored the eldest lady and looked straight at Xia Ting, waiting for her answer.

Being looked at with such cold eyes, Xia Ting felt that his blood was even stiff, and secretly pinched his thighs, and the corners of his eyes were red, making him look pitiful. Seeing that the three pairs of eyes were looking at him, Xia Ting took out the set of abdominal manuscripts that had been repeated a lot in his heart:

"I, I don't have a family anymore, we have a war over there, our family went south, my parents died on the way, my younger siblings also died of illness and starvation on the way, I couldn't escape the bad luck, fortunately I met you, otherwise ......"

Xia Ting wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, it wasn't all acting, what was true in the end was her experience in her previous life. She has been thinking about this set of rhetoric for a long time, didn't there often be wars in ancient times, the north is so big, they can't verify it, but it is in line with the current situation. Moreover, she is a girl's family, and it is normal for her to come out of exile and not find a home.

The eldest lady kindly hugged the skinny girl, like a child.

"So, you want to stay here?"

Gu Lin's face couldn't see the change, but his tone was a little worse.

Xia Ting's face stiffened, and his face seemed to be burning, it was indeed this plan, but it was said nakedly, it really hurt, but there was no way.

If it were her, she wouldn't want to take in such a burden.

"I—I want to stay, please!"

Xia Ting was cheeky and said sincerely.

It's not that she wants to stay, it's that she has nowhere to go. Instead of going to another place where I don't know how, it's better to live with them first, and besides, the eldest lady's temper is so good, they should get along better. As for the two brothers, they don't stay home very often, so it doesn't matter.

Gu Lin wanted to object, but was blocked by his mother next to him. Seeing her so persistent, I couldn't say anything. glanced at his second brother, and the tacit understanding since childhood made Gu Yu receive the information of the eldest brother at once, and gave the other party a reassuring look.

"Miss Xia Ting, it's not that we don't want to take you in, but you also know that our family ......" Gu Yu swept the house and said embarrassedly.

Xia Ting breathed a sigh of relief, there was room for maneuver in the matter.

"I eat very little, and I will also help with the housework, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"But ......"

Gu Yu wanted to say something, but was stopped by the eldest lady, and said categorically: "No but, where to find such a good girl, I will make a decision and leave Xia Ting behind, if you want to drive her away, just drive me away, I can't do anything anyway." ā€

Xia Ting glanced at the eldest lady gratefully, and then looked at the two brothers nervously.

She didn't know why the eldest lady was so nervous about keeping her, but she had nothing, and she wasn't afraid of what the eldest mother would do.

Gu Lin frowned, put down his chopsticks, and got up and left without interfering with Xia Ting's stay.

This is a tacit acquiescence.

Xia Ting cast his expectant eyes on Gu Yu again.

Xia Ting didn't know what his expression was, but if he knew that Gu Yu's evaluation of her was like a puppy's expression begging for mercy, he would probably be mad on the spot.

Gu Yu touched Xia Ting's head indiscriminately, revealing a smile like a spring spring, "Such a lovely girl, how could I not understand the amorous feelings." ā€

Xia Ting only cared about being happy, and selectively ignored Gu Yu's slightly ambiguous words.

That night, the eldest mother put two sets of clothes in the closet of her room, and Xia Ting noticed that the clothes were eighty percent new, which should be the eldest mother's usual reluctance to wear.

There are still a few sets of men's clothes in the corner of the wardrobe, Xia Ting took it out and took a look, and he couldn't see any tricks, the two brothers were about the same height, and Gu Lin seemed to be more athletic if he looked closely, but I have to say that the two brothers were both handsome athletes.

Of course, these are also what the eldest mother tells her on weekdays. When she saw it today, she had a good number in her heart, and she didn't look at people's eyes and didn't move, otherwise she would have to lose her dead.

"Ah Ting, the second baby has helped you make hot water, you can come over and take a bath."

The voice of the eldest lady came from the courtyard.

"Oh! Come on. ā€

Xia Ting hurriedly folded the scattered clothes and put them back in the closet, and took out the clothes that the eldest mother had given herself. Her original body shouldn't be able to be worn out, and it's still good to keep it as pajamas.
