Chapter 181 People Owe You

Gu Zhang smiled and nodded, "Just wear it. You haven't enjoyed much in these years with me. Now that you have a good thing, don't waste it."

Chen still refused, "I really don't need it. I don't go out. Don't waste such a good thing."

She actually wanted to wear it in her heart.

But if she wore it, what would the old lady do?

It's impossible for the daughter-in-law to wear silk and the old lady to wear coarse cloth, right?

That would make people point at her back.

Make one for the old lady too?

Forget it. The old lady won't appreciate it even if she becomes one. She might even criticize her for being extravagant. Besides, she can't bear to part with it.

This brocade is all money. It's better to exchange it for silver and hold it in her hands.

Chen waved her hand, "Okay, okay, let's go, do what we need to do, Xiao Fei stay."

Everyone reluctantly left the main room. Chen looked at the things on the table and said, "Please put all these in your place first. I always feel that it's not as safe to hide things anywhere else as it is to put them in your place."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll put them away."

······

In the village, every household received the New Year's goods sent by Chen's children today, and everyone was in a good mood.

Qian looked at the eldest aunt hanging the cured chicken and cured fish under the eaves, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Gu Qing brought a suckling pig and a cured fish over, saying that the suckling pig was for the old lady to eat.

Then wouldn't it be a fish for her family?

The eldest aunt was a married woman and she got so much, why was his family not as good as a married woman?

Qian couldn't take this loss.

She gritted her teeth, went into the house to find Gu Zhong, and said, "Your second brother is increasingly looking down on you, the eldest brother."

"He also sent a chicken and a fish to the eldest sister's family, and the third brother's family was the same. My family only had one fish. They are all brothers and sisters. Why should my family have less than them?"

Gu Zhong didn't even raise his head, "Didn't he also send a suckling pig? The suckling pig is much more valuable than the chicken."

Qian was anxious, "That doesn't count. Dalang said it was for mother to eat. So he only gave us a fish? Why?"

Gu Zhong raised his head and frowned at Qian, "Then tell me, what did you send to the second brother's family?"

Qian didn't understand what Gu Zhong meant for a moment, "What to send? There is nothing at home. Even if there is, it won't be given to him!"

Gu Zhong suddenly stood up and slapped Qian in the face, "You still have the nerve to say that!"

"You also know that it was given to you by others!"

"People kindly gave you things, and you didn't even give a return gift. You Dare you complain that they didn't give you enough?"

"Ah, did Gu Laoer owe you?"

Qian covered her face in confusion, and Gu Zhong yelled, "Did I tell you not to think about other people's things?"

"If my elder sister hadn't stopped me today, you would have instigated your mother to go to Laoer to make trouble. I've told you so many times, but you didn't listen. You don't want to live like this, right?"

Qian secretly hated her elder sister-in-law for complaining, covering her face and crying, "What can I do? This family has nothing now, no house, no land. If I don't plan again, can I still live like this?"

Gu Zhong became more and more angry, and kicked the chair heavily, "I only have this much ability, and I can't raise a promising daughter. I can't afford to eat white flour or meat! I can't even afford to buy a house and land!"

"If you don't want to be poor with me, just get out! You only know how to embarrass yourself every day!"

Qian collapsed on the ground and cried, "When did I blame you, when did I blame you——"
