Chapter 215 National Treasures: One Day and One Night is Just Basic Operations
As Li's mother was an elder, Lin Chang'er still gave her some face.
But Li Da, she didn't want to save face for him.
She is now the head of the Gu family. Although he is her brother-in-law, he is a selfish person who doesn't care about his sister at all and can't stand up for her when she needs help. It would be better to have no brother-in-law than to have him.
However, Li Er, the second maternal uncle, seems to be a fairly upright person.
If someone intends to start their own business, she would be willing to lend a hand.
Her attitude naturally angered Li Da.
Li Da said sternly, "I am your second sister-in-law's elder brother. How dare you speak to me like that?"
Lin Chang'er almost couldn't hold back, "Uncle, my second sister-in-law's child can call you uncle! You've already called her a money-losing brat."
"To be honest, we're several levels apart, so why won't you let me say a word for my nephew?"
That's quite polite. It's only because she considers herself a civilized person; otherwise, someone like him would be familiar with traditional Chinese arts for a day and a night.
“You…” Li Da was speechless.
Mrs. Li was also displeased and said, "Sister-in-law of Sanya, we've come all this way, and this is how the Gu family treats its guests?"
Lin Chang'er turned to look at Li's mother, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "You've really given her the time of day, acting all high and mighty like an elder."
Lin Chang'er's lips twitched, and Li Er spoke up first to smooth things over, "Mother, eldest brother, what are you doing? Gu family's third sister-in-law is just feeling sorry for third sister's child!" Shouldn't you be happy for third sister?
Of course, Li Er knew in his heart that his mother and eldest brother would never be happy for his third sister.
Fortunately, the Gu family didn't mind the girl. If they really did, the Gu family wouldn't even need to lift a finger; his older brother would have been happy to take care of her.
Fortunately, judging from the attitude of the three younger siblings, the Gu family should be happy.
Li Er then turned to Lin Chang'er, "I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law. People in the countryside say that it's good to have many children. My mother and eldest brother also hope that my third sister can have more children for the Gu family. I spoke without thinking just now, please forgive me. Please don't let this cause any rift between you and my third sister."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn't take it to heart.
Li Er then looked at Gu's mother and Gu Da, "Mother, eldest brother, it's getting late. We should hurry and have our third sister-in-law take us to see our third sister first."
Li Er's words reminded Gu's mother and Gu Da that they still hadn't seen San Ya yet!
Besides, they are guests, how could they personally cause trouble with the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family!
If anyone's going to make a scene, it should be Sanya making a scene with her sister-in-law, to vent their anger!
The mother and son exchanged a glance and made a tacit decision to hold off for now and wait until they saw Sanya before discussing anything further.
Seeing the suspicious look in the eyes of the mother and son, Lin Chang'er knew that they must be plotting something bad again.
She gently tugged at Zhou Xiaoniu's sleeve, gave him a look, and gestured with her chin toward the low slope.
Zhou Xiaoniu immediately understood, quietly turned his head, and took another, steeper path up the mountain to deliver the message.
It had been raining heavily for half a month, and even though they were on the mountain, the boys still ran wild in the forest during the day.
But they didn't dare go far. Now that the weather has cleared up and there are no more taboos, they've let loose.
Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaolu, holding Little Grey's hand, ran behind their older brothers and uncles, howling loudly.
A group of boys, after half a day, had made a mess of things again: four pheasants, five rabbits, and even caught a nest of birds with long green tails.
Gu Xiaoman was overjoyed to be carried back by the youngest member of the family.
The little goldfish was quite agile; it even caught a squirrel with a big tail and picked up a few pangolin scales.
Gu Xiaolu is a young girl, and she's not particularly interested in grabbing this or that.
She found some vines and wove them into a wreath, adorning it with a few small purple flowers. She also picked some strangely shaped mushrooms from the rotten tree roots. By the time she finished working, all of her brother's spoils were hers.
When Zhou Xiaoniu reached the low slope, Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaolu were returning with a bird's nest and a squirrel.
One of them cried out, "Grandma, Grandma, a bird with a long tail!"
One of them called out, "Auntie, Auntie, is my mother back? My brother caught a squirrel with a big tail."
Behind them were Little Goldfish, Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, Zhou Li, and a group of Huo family boys.
This sight almost brought tears of envy to Zhou Xiaoniu's eyes.
Aunt Gu was boiling water when she heard the shout. She turned to Xiaoman and said, "Grandma saw you. Slow down, don't fall."
Sister-in-law Gu smiled and looked back at the fawn, "Not yet! This is the only time. Come here, your aunt will hold you first. Later, your uncle will make a cage for you so we can take it down the mountain to raise it."
"You must be thirsty after playing for so long. Come and have some water and rest."
As they were talking, Sister-in-law Gu had already taken out a kettle and was waiting for the little girl to come over.
Gu Xiaoman agreed and just then saw Zhou Xiaoniu coming up from Doupo. He handed a nest of baby birds to Lin Yanqing who was following behind him, and then ran to the front of Doupo, reaching out his small, lotus-root-like hands to pull Zhou Xiaoniu. "Brother Xiaoniu, how did you get up here!"
Upon hearing his voice, Zhou Xiaoniu immediately remembered the important matter, "It was Third Aunt who sent me to deliver this message to you!"
Gu Xiaolu took a sip of water while holding the little squirrel, then immediately leaned over and asked, "Is my mother back?"
The little goldfish, fearing that her younger siblings might tumble down the hillside if she wasn't careful, followed them to protect them. "What message did my mother send you to deliver?"
Zhou Xiaoniu scratched his head. "Three people came down from the mountain: an old woman and two men. They said they were Second Aunt's mother and brother."
"Aren't those Xiaoman's maternal grandmother and uncle?"
Zhou Xiaoniu nodded, then suddenly didn't know what to say next.
Gu Xiaoman had never met this grandmother and uncle before, and was very curious, so she asked, "Did Third Aunt send you to tell us to prepare something delicious?"
Zhou Xiaoniu shook his head. His third aunt almost got into a fight with Xiaoman's maternal grandmother and eldest uncle, so it definitely couldn't be them preparing the food.
At this moment, Gu Silang, Lin Yanqing, and Zhou Li walked over.
Gu Silang said, "What are you all standing here for? Be careful, a strong wind might come and sweep you all down the hillside."
The younger ones weren't afraid of him at all and started giggling.
He then followed him to the tree shed area, and Zhou Xiaoniu took the opportunity to go over the matter again.
When they arrived at Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Gu, they carefully explained, "Aunt, Aunt, just now at the foot of the mountain, Third Aunt said that Second Aunt had given birth. Little Man's maternal grandmother and eldest uncle asked whether it was a boy or a money-losing child."
"My third aunt was unhappy when she heard that, so she lied to them and said that she had given birth to a girl."
"Then……"
Children have a good memory, so Zhou Xiaoniu immediately repeated almost the entire conversation between the Li family mother and her two children and Lin Chang'er for Gu's mother and sister-in-law to hear.
Finally, he scratched his head and chuckled, "I know my second aunt gave birth to a little brother, but I don't know why my third aunt said it was a girl. But my third aunt must have her reasons."
