Chapter Twenty-Three: Lu Yang's Purpose

The old lady saw Gu Chengyu looking at them with a smile, so she had the courage to take a piece and handed it to the old man, they hadn't eaten since yesterday, and now they saw the food, they couldn't even swallow their saliva, and they rushed out vigorously.

The old lady took a bite carefully, her mouth was full of mung beans, the cake was sweet, as if there was grease on it, and it was a little oily in her hand, but she was not greasy at all when she ate it. He was so hungry that the old man didn't taste it carefully, so he took two bites.

The plate of pastries was made by Gu Chengyu from his own shop, which was much more delicious than the outside, and salted egg yolks were added to it.

"Slow down? Beware of choking! As soon as Gu Chengyu spoke, the old lady's body shrank, and the chewing in her mouth stopped. may have been frightened, but when he looked up, he saw that Gu Chengyu was sitting opposite, and his face was not unhappy, so he ate again.

Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, this is a conditioned reflex, it may be that when he was eating, he was scolded a lot, so he had such an action. That Lu Yang is simply frenzied, treating his parents by beating and scolding, this is not a normal person!

The two of them didn't do anything after eating a piece, Gu Chengyu estimated that the two of them were not full yet, but they were embarrassed to eat again. Later, I had to have a night dinner, but Gu Chengyu didn't persuade him again, and besides, he ate less on weekdays, and the pastries were not easy to restrain himself, so he would hurt his spleen and stomach by eating too much at once.

"Grandma! How could my uncle come to the house to ask for silver? But is it difficult at home? "Whether you want it or not, you still have to call him an uncle on the surface.

"Life at home is not easy, but it is not unbearable. There are still three acres of land at home! Save a little and you can always get by. ”

Gu Chengyu was very surprised, this time it was not the old lady who spoke, but the old man who didn't like to talk.

"Is that a problem? Why else would you want so much silver? Gu Chengyu actually wanted to lead the old couple to talk, they were not familiar with each other, and they were afraid that the two would not tell him.

"That brute! I like to go to the gambling house in the town to play, sometimes I don't come back for a few days after I go, and the money at home is let him take out to gamble, where is the silver? ”

The old man took a breath and continued: "Originally, I came back without any money when I lost, but I don't know what happened last month, I lost the bet, and I even borrowed money from the gambling house and wanted to turn it over. It should have been made into a sleeve, and if there was no money, he borrowed gambling, and the more he lost, the more he lost, and he had already borrowed more than fifty taels. This is not? The people from the previous gambling house came to collect the debts and asked them to repay the money. But how can we have so much silver, and the man has only been given a few days, and if he can't get all the money, he will have his hand cut off. ”

"Haven't you heard about our family before?" Gu Chengyu is a little strange, it's been three years, why doesn't the Lu family know that the Gu family has made a fortune?

"My wife and I knew, but we didn't say it. He goes to the gambling house all day long, and his mother-in-law also runs to her mother's house all day long, so naturally it is not clear. It's just that once I heard some wind somewhere, and came back to ask us, I said it was your uncle's family, and he believed it. How can your family be so lucky? "The old man knows what kind of person his son is, of course he can't let him disturb his daughter's life, they owe her too much!

"And how did you find out then?"

"We don't know about this!" The old man was also very puzzled, and guessed that he got the news outside.

Gu Chengyu is not obsessed with this, there is no impermeable wall in the world, sooner or later he will always know, even in ancient times when information was not developed. In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't know that he caused this incident.

"Hmmm! Let's stay at home today! There's also a room in the outer courtyard here, so you can settle down for a while! There are a few vacant rooms in the inner courtyard, but how to settle the old couple, he has to ask his father and mother's opinion.

The old couple looked very pitiful, and it was estimated that his mother had already relented, but she couldn't pull her face to say. When he came out of the main house, her mother was still looking at him and stopped talking, probably trying to settle the two of them.

Because he saw that his grandmother was holding a tattered wrapper, and there were no clothes in it, it was deflated, and it should have been brought by Lu Yang when they came to live in the Gu family.

"Let's go! We're here, the beast is going to come again, we're his father, we can't stop him, don't let him in, right? ”

The old man's heart is clear! They are a drag here, the girl is a continuation, he just looked at it coldly, the eldest son is okay, but the second child is afraid that he has some thoughts, and his thoughts are not small.

"You just have to stay today, and we will talk about Ming'er's affairs tomorrow! I'll take you to the guest room first! He lifted the burden that the old lady had put at her feet and led the two of them to the guest room.

"Little treasure! Are you grandma them? The Lu family also came to his senses at this time, and asked Gu Chengyu, who was entering the room.

"I've settled in the guest room, and I can only make plans for the future." Gu Chengyu lifted off his robe and sat on the kang.

When the Lu family saw that they had settled down, they were relieved, what will happen in the future, let's talk about it!

"Your father just said that you took the first place in the exam, what county is your name?" As soon as Lu Shi talked about Gu Chengyu's exam, he was full of smiles, and his son was angry.

"Yes! Little brother, is this true? I didn't expect you to be so good, huh? At this time, Gu Wan also interjected excitedly, she was sewing a satin round-necked robe on her hand, this was made for Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu was going to take the exam in April, Gu Wan still wanted to make two pieces and wear them for Gu Chengyu to take the exam.

"Look! The robes made for you, try? See if the size is right? If it's not suitable, you have to change it! Gu Wan bit off the thread in her hand, spread it out, and said to Gu Chengyu.

"Huh? Second sister, is this for me? "Gu Wan's temperament has not jumped out of the past few years, it may be that the girl's family is older, and her temperament is calmer, and she was able to sew a robe alone last year, including cutting.

This is a snow-blue satin round-necked robe, Gu Chengyu happily took the robe and gestured on his body, this is the first time his second sister has made clothes for him!

"Try it, I don't dare to make such a good material! This is the first time I have done it, and I am afraid that it will cost money. "Gu Chengyu's clothes have always been made by the Lu family before, and the Lu family was afraid that Gu Wan would not do well, so it was not until recently that Gu Wan was allowed to make them.

Gu Chengyu put the robe on her body, Gu Wan looked at the length, and found that the length was just right, and the length of her arms was just right, such a color was just right for Gu Chengyu, and there was a faint sense of nobility when she looked at it.

"It's all cut to the size I gave, why is it not suitable? It's just that this color is also called Xiaobao, Wan'er's vision is good, and she looks like the young master of a big family! Lu said with a smile.

"My little brother has white skin and looks good in whatever he wears! This material is a good material, and if you look closely, there are dark lines! The neckline and cuffs will be trimmed to you, it should look good, and it is best to embroider the green bamboo, you readers don't like those pine, bamboo! ”

Gu Chengyu smiled, happy with her, turned her head to look, and found that there was a half-embroidered purse in the sewing basket.
