As soon as Gu Jiujiu saw Yan walking in, he subconsciously said, "Mother, are you back?" ”

"Hmm!" Yan nodded, and then walked to the stove to help Gu Jiujiu cook together.

"That's right!" Gu Jiujiu thought that Sister Yuan said that the Yan family went to the Gu family, so she asked casually: "I don't know, why did the sixth uncle ask you to go back home?" ”

"It's not for your little aunt's business!" As Yan spoke, he grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled them in the pot.

"Didn't you say that the Gu family had already agreed to her marrying that scholar?" Gu Jiujiu remembered that the Yan clan had said this last time.

"Originally, the Gu family agreed to this family business, but now something has gone wrong!" As Yan spoke, he had already taken a clean porcelain bowl and scooped the pig's trotters inside.

"What went wrong?" When Gu Jiujiu heard this, a trace of incomprehension flashed on his face.

Yan glanced at Gu Jiujiu and explained a few words simply, "The Wang family has not come to propose marriage for a long time, and the Gu family asked people to investigate, only then did they know that the scholar's brothers and sisters surnamed Wang have a total of seven or eight in total, and there are only a few thatched houses in the family, only the eldest brother of the brothers has married a daughter-in-law, none of the sisters has married well, the family is almost poor and can't open the pot, from time to time, a few sisters have to go home to get something back!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiujiu immediately raised his eyebrows. secretly wondered, if her little aunt Gu Baozhu really married the Wang family, I am afraid that it will not be easy in the future.

Yan Shi brought the pig's trotters in the bowl to the table, and continued: "The Wang family knows that your little aunt has a child in her womb, not only did she not hire her, but asked the Gu family to give a dowry of ten taels of silver first!" Your grandfather angrily kicked out the scholar surnamed Wang at that time, saying that this family matter would be stopped! However, your little aunt is determined to marry into the Wang family. ”

“······。” When Yan said the back, Gu Jiujiu was suddenly silent. This Wang family is already like this, and this little aunt with a body still wants to marry her?

didn't say anything more, when Yan went to get the dishes and chopsticks, he suddenly found that the half of the pork on the stove was missing, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Jiujiu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, why is the half of the pork I put in the bowl missing?" ”

"When I went to the market and came back, I saw that it was gone!" Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan's family, "Not only is that half of the meat gone, but the remaining half bowl of radish stewed chicken from last night is gone, there are a bunch of bones on the ground, and the stove is also sprinkled with chicken soup!" ”

Thinking that his sixth brother and daughter-in-law, the Chu family, had been to their stove room this morning, now, the Yan family knew that it must have been done by the Chu family.

"Sister, can you eat?" At this moment, Sister Yuan walked in from outside with her little short legs. As soon as he saw that Yan was back, the little guy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran to Yan's side, "Mother, when did you come back?" ”

"Just came back for a while!" After speaking, Yan looked at Sister Yuan and smiled, "You go and call Brother Yan and your brother-in-law over, and we can eat!" ”

"Oh!" Sister Yuan obediently agreed, and then walked out on her short legs.

After Sister Yuan left, Gu Jiujiu thought about the six hundred yuan she got from selling dried meat today, and used some of it, so she took out the remaining silver money and handed it to Yan's hand, "Mother, this is the silver money from selling dried meat today, you can keep it and use it as a family!" ”
