I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 146 Supporting the Family

It took the Gu family less than a year to go from extreme poverty to moderate wealth, and it was all because of Gu Wenxuan.

As a taciturn, honest farmer who just works hard every day, Gu Yongqing always feels like he is living in a dream recently.

Their family had a lot more good land and bought a large piece of wasteland next to the current house. His niece also brought back two cows.

Gu Yongqing silently counted the various new properties his family had recently acquired in his mind. The more he counted, the happier he felt. He skillfully helped Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, and the three of them quickly pulled the wooden cart to the side, and then sent the new cow to the barn and added the prepared fodder.

What Gu Yongqing, who was filled with joy, didn't know was that tomorrow he would hear news that would shock him so much that he would wonder if he was dreaming.

The news came from Gu Wenxuan, who took out the deeds of a house in the county town and one of their farms and handed them to her grandfather, Old Man Gu, with a smile.

At first, Mr. Gu didn't react to what the two thin pieces of paper were, but soon, Lin Shuzhen's exclamation revealed the contents of the paper to him and Li.

"Deed?" Lin Shuzhen, who was busy putting bowls and breakfast on the table, accidentally glanced at the two thin pieces of paper. She exclaimed, "This, this is a house in the county town? And a small village near the county town?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu and others immediately focused their attention on Gu Wenxuan.

Only Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, who had been informed by Gu Wenxuan in advance, showed no change in expression and directly took over the work that Li had originally been doing - distributing sorghum rice porridge to everyone.

"Wenxuan," Li, whose wooden spoon was taken away, glanced at her son, then she turned around and held Gu Wenxuan's hand, "Tell grandma that you and Jingzhou didn't do anything dangerous outside, did you?"

Gu Wenxuan held the old lady's warm and dry hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will never do anything beyond our capabilities."

Afraid that the old lady wouldn't believe it, she also brought up the dangerous experience that the little original owner had before, "I have learned enough from the last lesson, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard to make myself stronger. I promise you, from now on, I will be the only one who puts others in danger, and no one will be able to threaten me again."

Everyone:......

Lin Shuzhen was a little worried.

No, isn’t this idea of ​​hers a bit too extreme?

It's right to be careful not to put yourself in danger, but putting others in danger...

Jia Guizhi obviously shared the same idea as her. Before Lin Shuzhen could figure out how to persuade Gu Wenxuan tactfully, Jia Guizhi had already hit Gu Wenxuan on the forehead with a chestnut.

"What are you talking about?!"

Gu Wenxuan covered her forehead and smiled at Jia Guizhi, "Mom, if no one offends me, I won't offend anyone. But if someone offends me, then isn't it my duty to fight back?"

"You'd better do this." Jia Guizhi handed her a bowl of porridge. "If I find out that you bully the weak, you'll have to prepare for a mixed doubles match between me and your father!"

She learned the term "mixed doubles" from Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan didn't care. After all, even in mixed doubles, Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi couldn't beat her, right? Even if she couldn't fight back, she could still hide.

Gu Wenxuan was just thinking about it when she heard Old Man Gu ask Gu Yongming, "Boss, have you two known about this for a long time?"

Gu Yongming did not hide it from him, "Wenxuan told us about it two days ago."

At that time, his and Jia Guizhi's first reaction was to oppose. They were willing to give every penny they earned to their parents, but they didn't want their daughter to do the same.

They hoped that Gu Wenxuan could take care of herself first and save up a decent dowry for herself, instead of being impatient to share her wealth with everyone in the family as soon as she had something.

It was Gu Wenxuan who insisted and vaguely told them that she had already set aside her own share and would be able to earn more money and a larger family business in the future. Only then did they reluctantly agree to Gu Wenxuan's decision.

Then, a scene that Gu Wenxuan felt extremely familiar happened again.

After her parents, her grandparents, uncles and aunts also said similar things. They all hoped that she could think about herself first, instead of focusing on supporting the family.

Although it was a familiar scene that had already been played out once, Gu Wenxuan did not show any impatience and repeated what she had said to Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi before.

She told Mr. Gu and others that she and Bai Jingzhou not only kept their share, but also discussed in advance and purchased two properties of similar value and gave them to their respective families.

Only then did Mr. Gu and others realize that not only was Gu Wenxuan supporting the family with her own efforts, but Bai Jingzhou was also doing the same thing.

This realization relieved them of a lot of psychological burden, and when Gu Wenxuan tried to persuade him again afterwards, Mr. Gu was not as resolute as before.

Seeing this, Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi hurriedly helped their daughter to persuade Mr. Gu to put the deed away.

Gu Yongqing and Lin Shuzhen felt that they had no right to speak on this matter, so they just watched silently and did not speak rashly.

It was not until Mr. Gu agreed to accept Gu Wenxuan's gift that Lin Shuzhen poked Gu Yongqing, signaling him to express his opinion.

Gu Yongqing looked at Mr. Gu, Mrs. Li, and Gu Yongming's family, "Dad, Mom, this house and farm were bought by Wenxuan. Since she doesn't want to take it to her husband's family as a dowry, when you two elders divide the family property among us in the future, just pass the deed directly to my eldest brother's family."

In fact, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li also felt that this was the fairest thing to do, but they were reluctant to say it out loud. After all, when they had to spend all their money to treat the eldest brother's injury, the second brother had never argued with the eldest brother. Didn't he also spend the second brother's share of the family wealth on his treatment?

Before Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li could express their opinions, Gu Yongming slammed the table and scolded his younger brother with a frown, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Jia Guizhi also said, "Second brother, Wenxuan just said that this is her way of supporting our family. How can you exclude your second branch at this time?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded in agreement, "That's right, Second Uncle, you are my dear Second Uncle."

Gu Yongming continued to pretend to be vicious with a dark face, "Then according to what you said, when my parents treated my injuries, shouldn't they have taken out your share of the family property first?"

"No, no." Gu Yongqing shook his head and waved his hands in a panic, "Brother, I don't mean that."

Jia Guizhi smiled, "So what are you doing now that is so clearly separated from your eldest brother?"
