Chapter 7 Niuniu is a child protected by someone.
Gu Mingda's words really pinched Zhang Guangzong hard.

He even regretted why he shouldn't have come down when he had only six taels of silver.

Now he paused on the spot and thought of countless thoughts in his mind. He could indeed refuse this adoption.

But what good would it do to bring back a sick girl? I can't even do housework, so keeping it is a pure negative equity.

If Niu Niu dies after returning, whether from illness or being killed by them, the only way to recover the loss is through a ghost marriage. But as long as this is done, Gu Mingda will spread rumors out of revenge that Niu Niu was harmed by him. dead.

Although Zhang Guangzong felt aggrieved by being plotted, he finally said: "Okay, five taels is five taels."

Gu Mingda nodded, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote an adoption document on the spot, in which all the causes and consequences were clearly written.

Zhang Guangzong saw that he had prepared so thoroughly without leaving any loopholes, so he could only reluctantly sign and fingerprint.

From the beginning, Gu Mingda had no intention of defaulting on the debt. His original plan was to pay the same amount as the ghost marriage to completely resolve the matter.

Only in this way can their Gu family get rid of the bad reputation of robbing children.

Mrs. Cai was not as unhappy as her son. When she saw the white money, she immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind the Gu family with her "kindness": "I rushed to spend money to buy a broomstick and go back. There will be more in the future." You are in trouble!"

The response she got to her words of inciting discord was that Mrs. Gu chased her with a broom and kicked her out.

But when the Gu family closed the door, Gu's sister-in-law Chen Chunhua ignored Niuniu and was listening on the side. She opened her mouth and said: "Mom, my second brother has quite a lot of money. If you want to buy a broomstick, just buy it..."

Before she finished speaking, she was given a sharp look by Mrs. Gu: "Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about? Since Niuniu has come to my house, she is our Gu family! Forget what outsiders say, our own family You have the nerve to say that! You don’t have to make people laugh!”

Mrs. Gu looked at Niuniu who felt uncomfortable hearing the word "broom star" and comforted: "Niuniu, be good, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. You are not a broom star. You belong to this family." Granddaughter, do you remember?"

In order to comfort the frightened little girl, Mrs. Gu, who always looked fierce, forced out a smile.

But this smile looked uglier than crying. Combined with the dim light in the room, it was enough to scare the child into tears.

Gu Xiaobao, who was only three years old, was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Mrs. Gu's eyelids immediately drooped.

Niuniu, on the other hand, didn't seem to be afraid at all. Instead, she took the initiative to walk up to Mrs. Gu, held her grandma's hand, and said obediently: "Grandma, I remember."

Mrs. Gu's cold face suddenly softened. She squeezed the little girl's hand, thinking that the girl was still considerate, and looked at the still crying grandson with disgust.

Mrs. Gu was a well-known fierce woman in the village, but Niu Niu didn't think she was fierce at all.

Niu Niu thought to herself: It turns out there are grandmothers who don’t scold their granddaughters. Grandma Gu is the best grandma in the world!

After Chen Chunhua was beaten by Mrs. Gu, she didn't dare to mention the word "broom star" again, but when she thought of buying an outsider for five taels of silver, she still couldn't swallow her breath.

"Second uncle has been studying all these years and has rarely taken care of family affairs. He has spent a lot of money. Now I don't know where he got so much money." Chen Chunhua still mentioned the five taels of silver in her words.

Mrs. Gu glared and said, "Did I waste your money? Why do you talk so much all day long!"

Chen Chunhua said: "My mother is still in charge of the house now, but my second brother has hidden his private wealth. He doesn't care about your hardships, mother..."

Mrs. Gu said directly: "Speaking of hiding private money, who doesn't know about the few taels of silver you hide in the corner of your own house?" Chen Chunhua's biggest secret was exposed on the spot, and she was so anxious that she glanced around, worrying the whole family. With curious eyes, he stumbled and explained: "I don't have any money hidden in the corner, mother, you must have remembered it wrong!"

Mrs. Gu sneered.

Chen Chunhua couldn't say anything else and glanced at her third sibling Liu Erni.

Liu Erni laughed at her sister-in-law's low fighting ability in her heart, but she and her sister-in-law had similar ideas. Neither of them was happy with having more people in the family. She said: "Mom, sister-in-law doesn't have any other intentions. It's just that the family is not well off now, and it's hard enough to feed so many children. It would be fine if it was my own biological child, but there is no blood relationship. If one more person eats, the rest of the family will have to eat less, which seems unfair to our three-bedroom apartment."

Before Mrs. Gu could speak, Gu Mingda suddenly said: "Mom, since the eldest brother and the third brother are so dissatisfied, why not separate the families? It is human nature for a tree to divide its roots."

Hearing this, everyone in the third room of the big house suddenly panicked.

Mrs. Gu also glanced at her second son disapprovingly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not dead yet!"

Gu Laoda and Gu Laosan no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said to Gu Mingda: "Second brother/Second brother, you misunderstood. We really have no intention of dividing our family."

Gu Mingda looked at them with a half-smile but said, "Really? The first day my daughter came into this family, the elder sister-in-law and the third younger sister couldn't stand her. I thought this was what the elder brother and the third younger brother meant."

Gu LaoDa and Gu LaoSan were indeed a little guilty after hearing this.

Mrs. Gu didn't want any discord to arise between her three sons, so she said to Gu Mingda, "Second brother, please don't say anything like this that hurts the brotherhood."

She turned to scold the other two sons and said: "In the early years, my family was frugal and sent you three brothers to study. You two were ignorant. Only the second son persisted. It was obvious that he failed to live up to his expectations. Now let the family Why are you saying these sour words, mother-in-law?"

Gu Boss and Gu Laosan lowered their heads in shame.

Mrs. Gu added: "The second brother spent money from the family before, but he has paid it back several times. It is true that he did not go to the fields to do farm work like you, but he did not pay less money to the family. This money is enough." It’s not enough to feed their family, you know it!”

This is the reason why Boss Gu and Boss Gu are reluctant to split up.

Gu Mingda is an unusual scholar. Although he is just a child and has no fame yet, he has a quick mind and is not short of money.

Ever since Gu Mingda paid money to his family, the family's life has obviously improved. What Chen Chunhua said about "her family has no food to eat" is pure nonsense.

In the whole village, no one lives a better life than the old Gu family. Although they are a big family, they can still eat one meal of meat every month.

An old man like Father Gu, who is confused and unable to work, would have been secretly thrown away in other people's homes and abandoned like a burden. But in the Gu family, he can be well fed and fed. This is enough. This shows how well-off the Gu family is now.

Gu Boss and Gu Laosan almost had their heads pressed by their mother, and they apologized to Gu Mingda together.

Although they sincerely realize their mistakes, they still feel uncomfortable.

Gu Mingda has always understood people's hearts and said to the elder Gu and the third brother: "Brother, third brother, I have something to do in the county tomorrow. It is inevitable that one person will be too busy. After thinking about it, only my brothers can be relied on. I have to trouble you to accompany me on this trip again."

When Gu Lao San and Gu Lao San heard this, their eyes lit up. Every time they accompanied Gu Mingda to the county, no matter what they were doing, they always had a drink, and it must be the same this time.

When Gu Mingda saw that they had agreed, the corner of his mouth curled up. The conflicts between men could be resolved with just one drink.

Mrs. Gu sighed watching this scene, secretly thinking that it was not that she favored Gu Mingda, but that the second son was so skillful. If the eldest and third son offended him, it would be really bad luck!
The happiest person in the room is actually Niu Niu. She doesn't understand the pull between adults, and her heart and eyes are full of joy: Niu Niu is finally not a child who is disliked by her family! What a wonderful new parents and new grandma!
