I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 83 The Sun Brothers

Gu Jingye, acting like a little adult, said, "It's already quite good that you can memorize so much. I've only taught you this much, but you still need to be able to write it."

The young woman said they were his father's brother's children, and therefore trustworthy. She needed to not only take good care of them but also cultivate a good relationship with them. Who knows, they might even become his help in the future.

If the younger sister doesn't have children with the father, then it will just be him and his younger sister in the family from now on, and the younger sister is a girl.

As the older brother, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of helping his father support the family, being a pillar of support for his younger sister, and backing her up.

The younger sister said that whether her younger sister would suffer in her husband's family in the future depended entirely on him, her older brother.

Although he doesn't understand now, he must listen to his mistress.

Sun Qingzhuang was completely devastated, looking like a wilted eggplant: "Ah, Jingye, those characters are too difficult. I can only write two of them."

Gu Chenglin patted his head: "Not bad, you can write two characters now. Some people can't write a single character."

If you write two characters every day from now on, and you remember them all, then over 300 days a year, you'll have learned quite a few characters.

Gu Jingye: Dad, is it really okay for you to say that?

Everyone...

You've pushed it to a whole year?

Xu family: But Gu Chenglin is quite talkative now, no longer the gloomy person he used to be.

Several female relatives: This Gu Chenglin has changed a lot. Before, whenever I saw him, he was always alone, always walking with his head down, and always had a gloomy face.

Sun Qingzhuang looked up: "Uncle Chenglin, is it true?"

Gu Chenglin patted his head: "Of course, you can come find Shi Tou whenever you have time. You can learn from him, but you can't disturb his studies."

"Really?" This was the question asked by Sun Qingzhuang and his mother, Yang Zhu.

The village head's wife sat to one side, extremely envious.

Finally, she looked at her granddaughter, then at Gu Chenglin's daughter, and shook her head.

Her granddaughter has to go back to her maternal grandmother's house tomorrow; her grandmother is pressuring her daughter and son to have a child.

Thinking of this, a worried look appeared on her face. Her two daughters-in-law were both pregnant late in life, and each of them gave birth to a child as if they were being called out.

They stopped having children; none of them showed any signs of pregnancy.

She can't even go out now; every time she goes out, she hears about someone giving birth again.

Whenever she heard these things, she felt uncomfortable and a surge of anger welled up inside her.

But seeing her eldest grandson every day, all her anger would dissipate.

Looking at Gu Chenglin, she teased, "Chenglin, look how lively your family is with so many children! You and Xiaojin should have a few more in the future."

Gu Chenglin smiled bitterly to himself, but did not mention that his wife was not having children for him: "Yes."

At this moment, Sun Qingdong swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said with a grin, "Dad, Mom, I can also recite poems."

Yang Tao glanced at her daughter and saw that she didn't dare to look up, and one hand was still tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.

Ask Xiaodong, "Can you recite it for your aunt?"

It seems I need to take her out more often; she's too docile.

"Hmm, a distance of two or three miles, hmm... what, four or five houses. Six or seven pavilions, hmm... eight, nine, ten... ten... ten flowers."

At this moment, Gu Caiwei's childish voice said, "It's four or five houses in Yancun. Next time you can't remember, just look at the chimneys that are smoking."

Xiao Dong ran a step away from Gu Caiwei and stopped: "Hehe, Caiwei, you're so smart."

Sun Xing and Yang Zhu were shocked by their youngest son's actions. What was going on?

This mischievous boy in their family hates girls the most.

Gu Caiwei held up a finger and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Xiaodong is very smart too."

Xiao Dong immediately became arrogant. He took a step forward, but then suddenly remembered what Brother Jingye had said about men and women not touching each other, so he stepped back: "Right, right? I can write the 'one, two, three... ninety' characters that you taught me. I know ten characters, which is better than my brother."

Everyone... is this showing off?

Looking at Sun Xiaozhuang again, he had just been comforted by Gu Chenglin, but now he looked dejected again.

Sun Qingzhuang's gaze toward his younger brother turned hostile, his fists clenched, and he wanted to punch him.

However, when he saw Gu Jingye staring at him, he immediately slumped his shoulders, bent over, and loosened his clenched fists, remembering what Jingye had told him: to be respectful and loving towards one another.

He is the elder brother, and an elder brother is like a father. He and his younger brother were born of the same mother, so they should get along well.

The thought kept running through my mind: "Born of the same mother, born of the same mother... I can't hit them... I can't hit them..."

Yang Zhu and Sun Xing noticed the two brothers' expressions and wondered why they were so quiet.

If it were any other time, the older brother would have rushed over and beaten his younger brother up for the same provocation. But today, he didn't do anything.

strangeness.

Seeing his brother's expression, Xiao Dong walked over with a grin and put his hand on his brother's back: "Brother, what Caiwei taught me was all numbers, it was really simple."

Except for the numbers four and five, which have a few more strokes, everyone can write the others. Let me write them for you; you'll definitely write them better than me and learn faster.

Before his brother could speak, Xiao Dong pulled him to the Shatai District.

This is the place that Dongfang Jingang set up for his two children to practice calligraphy.

She hasn't had time to make the sand table yet. She only thought of it when she accidentally saw a basket of sand piled up in the corner while fetching water in the morning.

Sun Xing: "..." Are these still his two kids?

Yang Zhu: "..." Changed so quickly?

Everyone...

Seeing the two brothers so harmoniously, I was as shocked as if I'd seen a ghost.

Yang Zhu looked at her younger sister Yang Tao: "What's going on? Did these two have a fight?"

You know, every time these two kids fight, it's her biggest headache; sometimes they fight several times a day.

Others also know about the fights between the two brothers. When these two kids get into a fight, they don't care about the occasion and they'll start a brawl.

Xu Changhua turned to Gu Jingye: "Shitou, do you know what's going on?"

When he asked that question, everyone looked at him.

Gu Jingye felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, so he finally recounted how the two brothers had fought over a potted plant.

The younger brother said the white one looked better, while the older brother said the red one looked better.

The younger brother said the red color looked like pig's blood and was unlucky, while the older brother said the white color looked like a funeral hall and was also unlucky. And so, the two went from arguing to fighting.

Finally, Gu Jingye pulled them apart and gave the two brothers a good scolding, using both kindness and severity.

Finally, Gu Jingye told them a story about brotherly love and respect, "Kong Rong Giving Up the Pear," and the two shook hands and made peace.

Xu Changhua's wife, Yang Jing, looked at Gu Jingye and asked, "What happened to Xiao Dong just now?"

You know, every time that rascal went to her house, he would smear soot all over Yueyue's face.

Gu Jingye scratched his head: "My mother said that we're all grown up now, and boys should know how to avoid suspicion with girls..."

Gu Chunsheng looked at Xiao Shitou in surprise. It had only been a short time since he last saw him, but the child had changed so much. When he looked at Gu Chenglin again, his eyes changed.

A wife who just appeared out of nowhere, and she's a real gem! Looking at everyone else, they all turned to look at Gu Chenglin in unison…

Gu Chenglin felt a little uncomfortable under their gazes: "What's wrong?"

Grandpa Xu spoke up: "Chenglin, your wife is quite something."

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

In farming families, who understands the importance of children avoiding suspicion among themselves? They usually only start teaching them this when they're twelve or thirteen.

Gu Chenglin scratched his head: "We went to the county that day, and I was picked up by a doctor arranged by the county magistrate."

These days, Xiao Jin has been taking care of the two children, and she's the one who taught them all these things.

As you know, I've never been to school. I learned to read in the military, but I can only read; I can't write it..."

When Aunt Gu saw Dongfang Jin come in, she first apologized to her, and then started gossiping about the Gu family.
