Chapter 144 Gu Ping's Husband
Chapter 144 Gu Ping's Husband
One of the male servants sneered, "Second husband, please be quiet. This is what the eldest lady asked us to do. You are really too mean. You know what you want to do. Just go to the farm with us quietly. The farm is your home from now on. You can go back when you have reflected on yourself and corrected yourself."
These people ignored him and tied him to a sedan chair and took him to the farm in the west of the city.
Seeing the above, Liu Lang was very worried and shocked. He wondered if his wife had thought of what he was thinking. It turned out to be the one who made the report. This bitch actually dared to betray me.
Even if he cursed Qiu Ye again, no one would know what he was doing. In fact, his departure did not affect the Gu family at all.
He felt very sad and desperate. Was it a good place for human beings to live in that village? Even though he grew up in a poor family.
But he has lived a life of wealth and luxury for so many years, and he really can't go back to the days of hunger and cold.
Lin Liulang was wrong. No matter what Gu Yao did, she would not let him live a life of hunger and cold. She would only restrict his freedom.
What's more, even Gu Ning and his brothers would not let them meet Lin Liulang, for fear of leading the two children astray.
Gu Ning and the others were very panicked when they found out that Lin Liulang was missing. They quickly came to Lin Wulang's side and asked, "Daddy, where is my dad? Why can't we see him? Even the yard has been locked."
Lin Wulang looked at the two children and sighed, "Aning, Asong, your dad made a mistake, so he sent him to the farm. He will come back after he admits his mistake. From now on, you two should follow your dad, okay? Your dad will take good care of you."
Gu Ning and the others were very sad and burst into tears, especially Gu Song, who kept saying that he wanted a father.
Although Lin Liulang was not very kind to them, he was still their father. They were naturally panicked now that they could not see Lin Liulang.
Especially the brothers and sisters in the family all have a father, but what if they don’t have one in the future?
Gu Ning's eyes turned red and she choked up, "Big Daddy, can my dad still come back? If he admits his mistake, can he still come back home?"
Gu Ning was already very sensible, and he also knew that his father might have done something wrong.
Otherwise, based on the love his mother had for his father, she would definitely not send his father away.
Lin Wulang looked at their pitiful appearance and nodded: "Yes, as long as he admits his mistake, he will come back."
Lin Wulang certainly didn't want to leave Lin Liulang alone on the farm.
Even though he is different now, he is still his biological brother after all, and his family would definitely be worried if they knew about him.
But he couldn't oppose the decision made by his wife, especially since Lin Liulang was going too far.
He actually wanted to harm others. If he was not punished, then wouldn't the Gu family become one of the families that were scheming against each other? He really couldn't stand it.
Especially since there are two sons in the family who have made great achievements, he must put an end to this matter and absolutely not allow anyone to do such a thing.
After taking care of Gu Ning and the others' daily life, he fell asleep, still thinking about what to do tomorrow.
The next day, she called all the men in the backyard to come to her yard.
They said: "Our Gu family has always been harmonious, so we hope to keep it that way. After all, only if there is no filth, our Gu family's reputation will get better and better. You all have children, so for the sake of your children, please behave yourself. Otherwise, my wife and I will not let you go easily."
Then Ding Miao took some gold jewelry and distributed it to other people.
"These are all new styles. Take them and dress yourself up nicely. My wife will like them too."
Han Yuqing and the others were very surprised, especially Han Yuqing, because he knew that Lin Liulang was sent to the manor.
Although he didn't know why, he knew in his heart that he must have made a big mistake, otherwise Gu Yao wouldn't be so disrespectful to him.
Lin Liulang has two children, and he feels a little scared when he hears about sending them away.
He has even told Zhuxin that they should be careful with their words and actions in the future and not cross Gu Yao's bottom line.
Seeing Lin Wulang delivering things to them, he quickly led the others to salute: "Yes, Doctor Lang, we will definitely behave ourselves and serve our wives well in the future."
Lin Wulang was very satisfied listening to their words, but when he looked at the empty seat next to Han Yuqing, he felt worried.
He couldn't pass the news to Meicheng now, otherwise his family would be worried if they knew about it.
What's more, their Lin family is not better off than other families, and this happened because Liu Lang was not careful.
Han Yuqing took the things back and sat on the couch, looking at Zhuxin: "Zhuxin, why do you think the second husband was sent to the manor? Did he really do something that made his wife hate him?"
Zhu Xin thought for a while and said, "Husband, do you think the first wife is fed up with the second husband? Look at him, he always does some ridiculous things. Maybe the wife doesn't want to see him, lest he lead the two young masters astray."
Han Yuqing also knew that this was possible, but he couldn't ask about it.
If people were to inquire about it, it would definitely cause a sensation. After all, there are already many men in the family, and maybe others would also want to take advantage of the situation.
"Let's leave this matter at that. My wife has her own considerations. Besides, Aning and the others have someone to take care of them. I'll send them some more fabrics and let them make some new clothes. This will also be a token of my compassion for them as their third father."
Although Lin Liulang has entered the farm, there is still Lin Wulang. As the eldest father and uncle of the two children, he will definitely take good care of them.
Gu Yao is a person who likes children. Even if they don’t do anything, Gu Yao will take good care of the two children by herself.
Since the incident with Lin Liulang, the Gu family has become much quieter.
Some of the servants used to compete for favors, but now they don’t do that anymore and just stay quietly in their own rooms.
This incident also made Mi Erlang feel much more relaxed, because he didn't have to pay respects. Most of the time he just ate and slept in his room, and the rest of the time he would stay in Mi Dalang's room and watch him take care of the children.
Sometimes I would also listen to him give some guidance on pregnancy and some ideas on raising children.
Fortunately, the Gu family’s yard is quite large, with a beautiful garden, so they would go out for a walk from time to time. He was doing well throughout the pregnancy.
By the time she was four months pregnant, Gu Ping's other two husbands had already been engaged.
One is the third son of County Magistrate Chen, and the other is the eldest son of the scholar from Shicheng.
It can be said that the families that Gu Yao found were all pretty good, and the scholar’s family was also quite well-off.
Even his mother will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future. Gu Yao also values his mother's talent and believes that as long as she studies hard, she will definitely have a future.
Although Gu Ping's three husbands have been chosen, they have not yet married, and they can only get married when she is fifteen years old.
After Gu Ping's lifelong event was settled, Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she still had two daughters who were still single.
However, her two daughters are still young, so she can rest for a while.
Gu Yao has been very angry these past two days because of Lin Liulang's matter. She didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person in her backyard.
Although Lin Liulang had some small thoughts in the past, he was still kind-hearted.
But I didn't expect that he would turn evil just because of a maid's pregnancy. It's incredible to think about it.
If it weren't for Qiu Ye, he would probably have succeeded. After all, who could believe that a second husband of the Gu family would not want his maid to get pregnant.
She had been with Lin Liulang for such a long time and never thought that she would have such thoughts.
I think I should pay more attention to the backyard, otherwise just anyone could destroy the Gu family.
But since Gu Ning and the others have lost their father, Gu Yao must pay more attention to them.
Sometimes she would let them come to the front yard to stay with her and ask them questions about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Sometimes, he would even bring his whole family to live on the farm for a while.
Lin Wulang looked at the scenery on the farm and smiled to the people behind him: "It has been several months since we last came here. This farm is still worth a visit."
Han Yuqing looked at the farms and smiled, "Our wife is amazing. She manages these farms so well. The harvests from these farms are pretty good. Every time, the kitchen can cook some fresh dishes for us to eat."
Actually, Han Yuqing had taken care of the Gu family's household affairs before, but that was when Lin Wulang was not feeling well.
The Gu family's harvest was very clear. After all, he was educated and had been the head of a family, so reading these account books was a piece of cake for him.
Looking at the daily allowances and the expenses for food, clothing and other daily necessities, you can tell that the Gu family is quite wealthy.
It is thanks to Gu Yao and her parents' good management that they manage the home so well.
Lin Wu doesn't know how to do business, so he can only cut costs but not increase revenue.
But fortunately, it is possible to save money. As long as there are customers, it only needs to take care of the household.
As there were more and more children in the family, when they were ten years old, they would be given shops and fields and asked to manage the household.
That's why Gu's mother tried every possible way to buy land for the family.
The Gu family now has several hundred acres of land, so it would be good even if they could divide some of it among the children.
But I was thinking that my children would eventually get married, and by then the money at home might not be enough.
Gu Yao also planted some potatoes, and potato flour was her idea, so she would also get a share of the profits. Although it wasn't much, at least the family was not short of money.
In fact, Lin Wulang had been thinking about saving money for his family before. After all, with more and more children, they needed to save money.
Gu Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we still have a lot of land, not to mention dividends, so there is no need to save money too much. I have been an official for so long, isn't it just to make my family live a good life? If I make you live a bad life, it would be better not to be an official, especially the children, who still need to be carefully raised."
The family is quite wealthy, so Gu Yao is very clear about this, but she also knows that Lin Wulang is doing this for the good of the family, so she likes him even more.
After hearing this, Lin Wulang sighed, "I'm just thinking about the eight children in my family, and it will cost a lot to marry off new children in the future."
"It's okay. There's money to be made as well as money to be spent. Besides, money is earned, not saved. Moreover, Ah Ping will take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. She can also make money, so we can just rest assured."
In fact, Lin Wulang has gotten used to his current life. He is used to spending lavishly and being served.
Although he is used to it, he is still a little worried when looking at the family expenses. Thinking about the life he lived at home before, he really feels that the current life is too luxurious.
Two days later, Gu Yao received a letter from the capital. When she saw that it was written by Zheng Hongqiu, her face changed drastically.
"Madam, what's wrong? Has there been any changes in the capital?"
Gu Xiaoshu thought that they had been away from the capital for several years, so even if there were any changes, it should not affect them.
Gu Yao sighed with relief: "The Second Princess has been imprisoned, and the other princesses have been crowned as queens. The Crown Princess has not yet been decided, and I don't know what changes will happen in the future."
Gu Yao thought that Qian Xiumin had followed the second princess, which was why their family was confiscated and exiled.
I still haven’t recovered from the shock, and I don’t know whether Qian Xiumin can be pardoned.”
Gu Xiaoshu naturally knew that if there was turmoil in the capital, it would also cause some trouble for their Shicheng.
Although her wife is now famous and even has made contributions.
Shicheng is quite prosperous now. Although it is still not as prosperous as other cities, at least there is some money to be made here.
Fortunately, his wife sometimes keeps the secrets secret, and no force from their potato shop can get involved, and even if they do, it will only be a small fry.
"Don't worry, my lady. Xiaoshu will protect you. Besides, it's a good thing that the Second Princess is imprisoned. At least those princesses have been crowned as kings. Even without a crown princess, they will have a peaceful life.
Gu Yao sighed: "I hope so, I hope Your Majesty can manage these princesses. If there is only unrest, it will probably cause more trouble in the court, and it will not be a good thing for the people."
"Xiaoshu, let the people in the yamen go around the city and the countryside from today, and recruit ten yamen runners. After all, our Shicheng is quite big, and these yamen runners simply can't handle it all."
Because the government has money, they can be so generous. In the past few years, they have recruited many yamen runners.
However, since she has a lot of things to do, she won’t be able to keep up if she doesn’t recruit yamen runners.
Moreover, the more yamen runners he recruited, the better life would be for the common people. After all, he recruited people with strong bodies, and some people in the countryside were quite suitable to be yamen runners.
She would also select a few yamen runners to serve as minor clerks, so every time she recruited yamen runners, many people would come to apply.
Also because of the Potato Shop, the business road in Shicheng is still quite prosperous.
It even attracted some merchants from other places to come and purchase goods, which also brought tax revenue to their Shicheng.
Gu Xiaoshu said at this time: "My dear, you have been in Shicheng for three years. Will you continue to stay here or go somewhere else?"
In fact, she was still reluctant to leave this place. After all, she had lived here with her wife for so many years.
She has also married and has children. Her eldest is already two years old, so she thought that if she didn't leave, they would live a happy life in Shicheng.
