Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 602-603. The Gu Family
Bai Suihe watched Liu Yun flee in disarray and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Looks like the Gu family isn't having an easy time. What kind of rotten vegetables are they buying?"

At this time of year, you can't buy anything fresh; you're probably just looking for bargains.

It seems the Gu family is getting worse and worse, and the resentment in my chest has dissipated a bit.

"Sister, you really went through a lot back then." Bai Jianbei said with some heartache. "If it weren't for Dad's insistence, you wouldn't have married into the Gu family."

"Your sister-in-law is actually quite nice," Bai Suihe said fairly, arguing that they shouldn't be condemned outright.

"So what? He couldn't protect you before."

No matter how good he is to you now, it's just what he should do. If it weren't for you...

Bai Suihe said, "Don't talk nonsense. You should grow up now. Your sister is doing quite well now, and your brother-in-law is also very hardworking and ambitious. My life with your niece will be just as good in the future."

Even though everyone around me is mine, some things I say can hurt others.

Bai Jianbei muttered, "I was just saying this in private. My brother-in-law is indeed quite nice. But if you ever suffer any more grievances in the future, my brother and I can protect you now."

There was nothing that could be done before, as the old man was in charge of the Bai family. But things are different now. Although he has separated from the family, he still has his own assets and will not allow his sister to be bullied.

Gu Xingyang nestled in his arms, "Uncle, you still have me. My mother has my father to protect her, and you can protect me."

Unfortunately, her uncle didn't understand her attempts to act cute.

Bai Suihe directly sold her out, saying, "You should protect her more in the future; I think she likes you quite a bit."

Bai Jianbei proudly lifted Gu Xingyang high and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm her uncle."

"How about we don't go back yet? I see a jewelry store up ahead; maybe they have something suitable for our little star to wear?"

Bai Suihe, "...Are you sure you want to keep shopping?"

Bai Jianbei: "...No need then, let's go back. I'll have someone send over some jewelry later, all of them are exquisite pieces."

Meanwhile, Liu Yun rushed home. When she pushed open the door, she saw her whole family sitting neatly in the yard. Her anger flared even more. So many people were waiting for her to serve them. Her face darkened.

“Who are you putting on that face for all the time?” Xu Shuanghong said, putting on airs like a mother-in-law. “You’re the one who’s in charge of the household finances, and you’re afraid that we’ll all be after you for a single penny.”

Now that we've bought the groceries, let's hurry up and cook them in the kitchen. As long as everyone's not hungry, that's fine.

Xu Shuanghong said sarcastically, "Life is getting more and more miserable. When did she ever live such a pathetic life? If she can't have it easy, then nobody can have it easy either."

So she's been making a scene quite a bit these past few days; it's just a matter of who can hold out the longest.

"Who am I doing all this for?" Liu Yun felt wronged. It was a pity that Gu Kaiping was in Shao County. His current wages were very important to his family and could at least make up for some of the losses. But in this way, no one would stand up for her.

"You'd rather sit here than help, so I'm not cooking today. It's not like I'm the only one eating here."

Gu Baijiang came out of the study at this time. "Liu is right. From now on, you guys should share these things." Of all the family, only the eldest daughter-in-law seems relatively reliable. If she really doesn't take care of this, he will have a headache again.

Seeing the few women still sitting there motionless, she said, "We don't support idlers in this family. If you don't work, you'll go hungry."

“Give me a divorce agreement, and my two daughters and I will never eat another bite of food from your Gu family.”

Xu Shuanghong brought up the old issue again, saying that the Gu family had no value to them anymore, which meant they were also doomed, so why bother struggling in this quagmire?

"Dad, just let them go," Liu Yun was also eager for the three of them to leave as soon as possible. They did nothing and caused a lot of trouble. She didn't know why the old man kept them here.
“My Gu family is not a place you can come and go as you please. Your purpose when you came was impure. If you want to leave, you can leave a thousand taels of silver.”

The way Gu Baijiang looked at Xu Shuanghong now was devoid of any warmth; his calculations were laid bare.

Xu Shuanghong was so angry he almost vomited blood; it turned out he had wasted all his time playing around.

"We're the ones who suffer losses," she said. She herself didn't care, but she had also lost her daughter. It was already good enough that the Gu family didn't seek compensation from them, yet they still dared to ask her for money.

"Then you can continue to stay in this house. Don't worry, you'll have food to eat." Gu Baijiang was patient. He believed that Xu Shuanghong would eventually be willing to take out the money. Even if she didn't, he wouldn't lose out, since he needed someone to serve him anyway.

Liu Yun stared at the scene in astonishment. So she had misunderstood her father-in-law before. This was no ordinary man; he was practically three gold...silver nuggets.

Gu Baijiang looked at his second son and his wife again, which startled Xu Yulan, who quickly said, "Dad, we're not just sitting around doing nothing. We've cleared out all the land in the back garden, and we can plant the seeds tomorrow."

Gu Kaichen nodded in agreement and raised his hands, "Yulan is right. Look at my hands, they're calloused and blistered. We just sat down to rest, and my sister-in-law saw them."

Liu Yun, “…”

"Besides, my sister-in-law doesn't have much to do all day, just buying groceries and cooking. How about we switch?" Xu Yulan had long wanted to stop clearing land for farming. Heaven knows the back garden was originally for growing flowers and plants, and the soil there was hard and compacted.

And there were also many small stones; just picking up those stones made her back almost unable to straighten up.

"Forget it, I know I can't count on any of you anyway." Liu Yun was unwilling, which also meant that she would have to hand over the limited money she had received.

"By the way, when I came back just now, guess who I ran into?"

"Sister-in-law, do you know anyone here?" Gu Kaichen asked before anyone else could say anything.

If my sister-in-law knows someone, could she go over and ask them for favors?
My dad is getting stingier and stingier. He only feeds them some green vegetables every day, and he hasn't had meat for several days.

Anyone who can get to know the eldest sister-in-law must be either rich or powerful, and you might even be able to get some benefits from it.

"I met Bai Suihe. She was taking a walk on the street with her younger brother from her maternal family. They were accompanied by a large group of maids and servants, as well as a group of guards. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a rich young lady from a wealthy family."

“She was originally the legitimate daughter of the Bai family,” Xu Yulan’s eyes were already red, and she didn’t even know what she was saying.

"Aren't they in Zhang County?" Gu Kaichen asked with a question in his mind. Could it be that they couldn't make it in Zhang County either?
That's not right either. "Have you seen the third brother?"

"No, I misunderstood at first, thinking that Bai was unfaithful." If he weren't her own brother, she would have made Bai Suihe suffer a lot today.
