479 Chapter 479 life is hard
Although the Guo family only owned a Rice Shop, and the whole family lived in the courtyard behind the shop, they still had a lot of real estate under their name.
For example, in this alley, there were three courtyards that belonged to the Guo family. These were run by third aunt Gu’s guilds. When they had money, they would buy cheap courtyards and rent them to people to collect rent.
In addition to these three courtyards, there were also two houses in the southern part of the prefecture city. They were two-bedder houses and had been rented out to others.
There were a few hundred acres of land in his hometown and four farms around the prefecture, all of which grew rice.
Therefore, while her third uncle could study in peace, Guo Wan always wanted to find someone who had more business than her family. Guo Yan also felt that he was rich, and he was the youngest son, so he dawdled all day without making any progress. Anyway, he was not afraid of not having food, as long as he did not gamble and squander.
There was only one entrance to the courtyard. There were a total of five rooms, three of which were living rooms, one was in the kitchen, and the other was in the living room.
There was a storage room next to the kitchen.
Third aunt Gu had already cleaned up the place and replaced the daily necessities with new ones.
She was thinking that her second brother had an Academy exam in August this year and a village exam in March next year. Wouldn’t he have to stay here?
So, she changed all of them to new ones.
I thought Huihui would come too, so I even put two beds in this room. But it turns out that there are only three of you, so one bed is enough! Third aunt Gu brought the three little ones to the room next door to put their things.
“Auntie, I’ll just sleep with sister Huihui’s share! They’re just two little brats. I’m afraid that if I sleep with them, I’ll kick them out of the bed in my dreams!” Gu Nian chuckled.
“Sister, you’re only a few years older than me. We are little wimps, and so are you! Xinxin, let’s sleep with sister later, one on the left and one on the right. We’ll hold her and not let her kick!” Gu Xin said.
alright, alright, alright. Anyway, you three sisters can make your own arrangements! Gu San Gu rubbed Gu Xin’s head.
“Auntie, why do you have the same habit as uncle? Can’t you be gentler to our heads?” Gu Xin tidied her hair and complained.
She had to endure her uncle’s daily knock on her head every day at home, and when she went out, she had to be ruffled by her aunt. What a bitter life!
“Your Big Uncle is used to knocking people’s heads. That’s what you call barbaric. His aunt was much gentler. She just rubbed him a little. Oh my, Auntie really wants a daughter so that she can tie her hair up! Xinxin, sisi, how about you don’t comb your hair tomorrow morning and let aunt do it for you?” Third aunt Gu’s eyes lit up.
“Aunt, you can tie up cousin Rui’s hair, really. He has more hair than me and sister Xinxin.” Gu si said sincerely.
“You think I don’t want to? He didn’t allow it! Sigh, God bless me, let me have a daughter in one fell swoop!” Third aunt put her hands together and said sincerely.
The three Gu sisters thought,”everyone else has a man in one fell swoop, but you want to get a woman in one fell swoop?” As expected, the Gu family was a family that valued girls over boys.
……
Gu shouxin only came over when it was almost dark.
Gu Nian, Cai Xiaolian, and third aunt Gu had already prepared a table.
“How’s the Li family’s child?” Grandpa Gu asked.
I sent him back. His leg is injured and he has lost too much blood. He has fainted! Gu shouxin twitched his mouth and said.
“Ah? Wasn’t he quite energetic on the horse just now?” Gu Nian asked in surprise.
“His horse is more spirited than him. If I didn’t chase him quickly, I don’t know where he would have been taken. This unlucky child, knowing that he’s unlucky, he still came out to play. He deserves it!” Gu shouxin shook his head, speechless.
“Father, there are bloodstains on your body. It should be brother mu Yan’s, right? you’re not injured, are you?” Gu Xin’s sharp eyes noticed the blood on Gu shouxin’s clothes and asked worriedly.
well, it’s his. I’m fine. You guys eat first. I’ll come back after I change my clothes and wash my hands! Gu shouxin said and went into the house to change his clothes.
