Chapter 355 is broken.
Lin Chang'er looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, each carrying a load of firewood.
The man looked heavier, while the boy was noticeably smaller.
Then, with two more loud "bangs," two loads of firewood were thrown at the door. The man and the boy rushed over with their carrying poles, glaring angrily at Lin Chang'er and her companion.
The man said, "I'm asking you a question."
The boy asked, "What did you do to my grandmother?"
Old Mrs. Yu quickly spread her arms to stop the two, "Put down the carrying pole quickly, don't frighten our distinguished guests..."
"mother!"
"Grandma!"
Both the man and the boy looked puzzled. Old Mrs. Yu stood up, leaned on the wooden table, and whispered a few words in her son's ear.
The man's face changed drastically. "Really? Really?"
Grandma Yu nodded. "I've always remembered. It was the Gu family from Linshui Village, that's for sure."
The man grunted twice, then slapped the boy's bottom with his carrying pole. "You're done here. Go inside and help your mother start the fire!"
The boy scratched his head, puzzled. "Dad, what's wrong?"
The man simply said, "Go quickly, go quickly, why make such a fuss?"
The boy said "Oh," scratched his head, and headed towards the kitchen.
After the young man entered the room, the man couldn't wait to ask Lin Chang'er, "Gu family sister, my sister, is she alright?"
Lin Chang'er gave a slight smile. "How shall I address you?"
The man said, "Yu Jincai."
Lin Chang'er nodded and recounted Gu Dasao's current situation once again.
Yu Jincai clenched his fist and slammed it hard against his thigh. "Damn it, if I had known, I would have gone to take a look no matter what. I could have stopped these people for Damai. What a bad day."
Grandma Yu disagreed, "How can you face Damai? Damai only did it for the sake of this family... only..."
As she spoke, she started crying again.
Yu Jincai was also moved, his eyes reddening. "I know it's our family that has let my sister down. I didn't say I wanted to see her, I just wanted to see her from afar and see that she's doing well, then I'd be at peace."
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips. "Aunt Yu, Brother Yu, it's like this. We all know that Sister-in-law definitely doesn't want to talk about the past. I can think of ways to deal with other things, but judging from what the Xu family mother and son said, they once sent you a daughter..."
Yu Jincai was taken aback, then, as if remembering something, waved his hand, "That's not true. The Xu family mother and son are habitual liars. We only have one daughter, who is my and my wife's biological daughter."
Lin Chang'er paused, unsure of what to say.
Actually, she hadn't asked her sister-in-law's opinion before she came; she didn't dare to ask, or even mention it.
To put it bluntly, this is not much different from children who are trafficked and forced to give birth in later generations. If the mother is mentally weak, she will go crazy.
However, the child is ultimately innocent, and the Yu family's willingness to handle the situation this way is not a bad solution.
Lin Chang'er nodded. "I understand."
Seeing that she didn't react much, Yu Jin felt a little relieved. But then, thinking about how his sister had been hurt because of this, he asked with some concern, "Sister Gu, how many brothers and sisters do you have?"
Lin Chang'er casually replied, "Four."
Yu Jincai asked, "Are they all married?"
Lin Chang'er replied, "The fourth one is only eleven years old, he'll have to wait a few more years."
Yu Jincai nodded, looked at Lin Chang'er, and hesitated to speak.
Lin Chang'er saw through it and smiled, "Brother Yu, just say what you have to say."
Yu Jincai rubbed his hands together, seemingly a little embarrassed. "You came to my house today, so you must already know about my sister's situation and her health. I wonder if your family will look down on her because of this."
She suddenly choked up and said, "If your family minds and doesn't want her anymore, could you send her back to me? I'll take care of her."
With her head bowed, her voice trailing off, she said, "I...I will definitely find a way to pay you back the money your family spent on buying her from the Xu family back then, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yu nodded hurriedly, then stood up, leaning on the wooden table. Her knees buckled, and she was about to kneel down.
Lin Chang'er quickly grabbed her arm to stop her, "Auntie, let's talk this out. What you're talking about won't happen."
If Gu Dalang really didn't want Gu Dasao because he couldn't have children, Gu Dasao is currently managing a pancake stall and can support herself.
Of course, she wouldn't stand idly by.
Grandma Yu clearly didn't believe it, staring intently at Lin Chang'er, "Really?"
Lin Chang'er nodded and assured her, "Sister-in-law can now make a living on her own and earn money. Even without a man, she has her own way of life."
Grandma Yu nodded and then sat down again.
Lin Chang'er continued, "Actually, no one in my family knows about my sister-in-law's affair with the Xu family except for myself. I don't want them to know either, so I came to let you know first."
"I'll handle the Xu family's situation. As for my sister-in-law being harmed by the Xu family, I hope that both you and we will keep this to ourselves." She left early today, unaware that Guo Dabao's mother had already made the whole village aware of the matter...
Yu Jincai knelt down with a "plop" and said, "Sister Gu, I, Yu Jincai, thank you on behalf of my sister. Thank you for cherishing my sister so much."
"If you ever need my help in the future, I will do anything for you, even die a hundred times."
After saying that, he kowtowed several times.
Lin Chang'er disliked the kowtowing culture of this era very much.
Unfortunately, there was an old woman named Yu between her and Yu Jincai, and he was a man.
Finally, at her frantic urging, Wu Qingfeng pulled Yu Jincai up.
Yu Jincai was about to say something when a little girl's sweet voice called from outside the door, "Daddy, you're back!"
Then, like a butterfly, it flew over.
Yu Jincai didn't even have time to wipe the dirt off his forehead before he picked up the little girl and lifted her high in the air, asking, "Daddy's baby, were you a good girl this morning?"
"Good girl, your little brother gave you candy, two pieces, and you hid them. You gave one to Grandma and one to your brother!"
Yu Jincai pressed his forehead against his daughter's and rubbed it against her, saying, "Baby, eat with your brother."
Bao'er giggled, "Brother wants to work with Daddy, and Daddy will eat."
Lin Chang'er's lips curved slightly, but she felt inexplicably uneasy. It was clear that the Yu family had raised this little girl very well.
Liu Zi carried the grain over and said, "Miss, Third Master, I've brought the grain over."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Let Brother Yu take it to the kitchen!"
Yu Jincai quickly put Bao'er down, saying, "Take your little brother to play for a while, Dad will get back to work."
"it is good!"
Liu Zi brought over two bags of things, and Yu Jincai carried one bag in each hand, without needing Liu Zi to help him at all.
Liu Zi happened to have something to say to Lin Chang'er, so he didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Grandma Yu also got up to help with the cooking. Liu Zi leaned close to Lin Chang'er and whispered, "Miss, I've found out what you asked me to ask."
"Because of the incident involving the First Madam, no one in Yujia Village is willing to marry their daughters to Xu Village. The two villages haven't intermarried for many years."
“In Caijia Village, which is about five miles away from here, there are women who married into Xu Village, and there are also women who married into our Linshui Village. I heard from that person that they married into a family surnamed Guo in our village.”
"Surname Guo?"
Liu Zi nodded, and Lin Chang'er suddenly stood up. "Oh no..." In Linshui Village, who else is the Guo family member who is about the same age as Sister-in-law Gu, besides that wicked Guo Dabao's mother?
