Chapter 351: The Gu Family’s Granddaughter Returned
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jia Meizi could only continue to stay in Old Gu’s house. She was ordered around by Madam Zhao and scolded by Gu Dahe.
However, her children did not understand her and pushed all the blame to her.
Madam Chang was still in a daze. She did not go out at all and rarely even left her room. Not only was she unable to take care of Gu Dahu, she even needed her daughter to take care of her.
Madam Zhao was furious and deliberately starved her a few times. Madam Chang was so hungry that she couldn’t take it anymore and came out, but she directly smashed the door of the main house to find food and almost fought with Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao almost fainted. She was also busy. Madam Chang could not take care of Gu Dahu, so she could only do it herself.
There were many things to do at home. She was already so old, but she still had to do it herself.
It was the same for Gu Chuanzong. He did not have to go to the fields previously.
Before escaping, he had four sons. Even though Gu Dajiang worked as an accountant in the county and Gu Dahe and Gu Dahu would occasionally slack off, he still had a diligent fourth son.
After returning from the famine, he occasionally had to work in the fields, but he also had two sons. In order to have a good harvest, the two of them had to work.
But now, the second and third branches did not have any strong laborers. Gu Fa’er was not young anymore, but he used to rely on the fact that he was the eldest grandson and was always pampered. Even if he was a child from the countryside, he still lived a pampered life. Now, he could not lift anything heavy. He could not stand such weather for an hour.
The only person in Old Gu’s family who could work was Gu Chuanzong.
Nowadays, he went out early and returned late every day. He was so tired that he went home and fell asleep.
Initially, he thought that he would be able to enjoy life with so many sons. Now, it was the complete opposite. He had to support two families.
Gu Chuanzong was very regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would have stopped Fourth Son from leaving the team to look for Gu Yundong and his mother. At least his youngest son would be filial to him.
He sighed slowly and carried the hoe home.
Unexpectedly, a familiar name suddenly sounded in her ear.
“Yes, Gu Dajiang’s eldest daughter is very rich.”
Gu Chuanzong was stunned. Gu Dajiang? Eldest daughter?
He looked up in confusion and turned to see Madam Hu chatting with someone under a tree not far away.
He could not even lift his legs, but he still walked over numbly.
Madam Hu’s back was facing him, but her voice was not soft. “That’s Gu Yundong. I saw it with my own eyes. She’s back with her silly mother. Do you know why we had to bring Bian Yuanzhi out? It was Gu Yundong who begged us. Now, that Bian Yuanzhi is going to enjoy life too.”
Someone at the side did not believe it. “That eldest granddaughter of Old Gu’s family was very timid in the past. Why do you make it sound like they’re two completely different people? Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”
“How could I be wrong?” Madam Hu retorted excitedly. “I even saw her bring Bian Yuanzhi to the Bian family that day and take away a lot of the things in the Bian family. She’s changed. She married a rich man. Her clothes are flamboyant and she’s wearing gold chains. There’s a silver hairpin on her head, a jade bracelet on her wrist, and she’s sitting in a carriage with four or five maidservants.”
“Huh!” Everyone was in an uproar. So rich?
Madam Hu snorted. “And Gu Dajiang’s wife. Tsk tsk, there’s a maidservant supporting her when she gets into the carriage. She’s even fed.. What does it matter if she’s a fool? Anyway, there’s someone to serve her, right?”
