Chapter 39: Time for a meeting

Gu Erlang glared at Msr. Qian fiercely.

Gu Zhang used his strength to help the old lady move forward: “Mom, I borrowed this carriage from someone else. I have to return it tomorrow. If you want to go to your cousin’s house, I’ll hire a carriage for you.”

The Old lady fell into deep thought: When did I say I’ll go to my cousin’s house?

Gu Zhang and Gu Erlang were afraid of more trouble, so they quickly carried the old lady into the yard next door before waiting for her to speak and placed her on the Kang.

The melon-eating crowd at the entrance of the courtyard lost their excitement and dispersed after a few comments.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly helped Gu Fei up and said: “What a sin! When will this injury heal, you keep tossing around like this day by day?”

Mrs. Chen and Li Chunhua helped Gu Fei into the house, and suddenly saw the second young lady on the Kang: “This, where did this girl come from?”

Just now she was picking vegetables in the backyard and didn’t even see the second young lady coming in.

“This is Er——” Before Gu Fei could finish her words, she was interrupted by the second young lady: “Auntie, I am Xiao Fei’s sister, you can just call me Lanzhi.”

Gu Fei also woke up. The Marquis Mansion was gone, so naturally, there would be no second young lady.

She nodded, “Mom, Lanzhi’s parents are gone, how about she lives in our house from now on?”

Mrs. Chen was just about to say that her family couldn’t afford to support her, but then she thought about the mysterious things that appeared in her daughter’s hands. It seemed that it would not be difficult to raise more people now. Moreover, her daughter’s visit to the city probably was for this girl today. Mrs. Chen hesitated and nodded: “That’s okay, I’ll just think I have an extra daughter.”

Lanzhi said obediently: “Thank you, ma’am.”

As she was talking, someone outside shouted: “The village chief asked every household to go to the ancestral hall now. There are important things to announce.”

Gu Erlang just returned to the door and asked: “Erniu, should everyone go, or can one person from a family go alone?”

“Everyone, let’s go. The village chief said it’s a big deal, so everyone needs to go and listen.”

Mrs. Chen opened the curtain and went out, and saw Gu Zhang coming back: “Old Man, you take your sons with you. Chunhua and I will cook at home.”

Gu Zhang said in a deep voice: “We’ll cook the meal when we get back. Everyone should go.”

Lanzhi looked at Gu Fei on the Kang: “Should I go too?”

Gu Fei nodded: “Go, you are now a member of the family.”

Gu Zhang went to see the village chief last night. He must have talked about escaping from famine today.

It’s better to go and listen to them all so that she doesn’t have to explain them one by one.

Gu Erlang knocked on the door outside: “Sister, I will carry you.”

Lanzhi hurriedly got off the Kang, turned her back, and stood aside.

As soon as Gu Erlang came in, his eyes turned around Lanzhi, and then his ears turned slightly red.

Gu Fei now understood that her second brother was a young man, and he was already in love.

No wonder, she felt that he was extra attentive to her today.

Gu Erlang carried Gu Fei on his back, Gu Qing held Xiao Cao, Li Chunhua held Lanzhi, and the entire Gu family went out grandly.

As soon as they went out, they met Mrs. Qian and his uncle Gu Zhong, as well as Xing’er holding her brother Bao’er, but the old lady was not seen.

Gu Fei called her uncle with a smile. Mrs. Qian’s sharp eyes immediately saw Lanzhi, “Where did this girl come from?”

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

No one in the family spoke to her, so Lanzhi stayed close to Li Chunhua and walked over with her head lowered.

Mrs. Qian spat behind them: “Bah, their whole family is weird, and not a single one of them is good.”

On the way to the ancestral hall, they met many villagers, and some asked about Lanzhi. Mrs. Chen said, “She is the daughter of my relative.”

Lanzhi lowered her head as low as possible. Except for the day when her home was ransacked, she had never seen so many men!
