Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 717 - 553: Infatuated Lover

Gu Chengyu thought it would be better to open up a room at his eldest brother’s house and let the two of them stay there.

Gu Changbai suppressed his anger, "If it’s inconvenient at Third Brother’s house, then forget it. I’ll just go stay at Eldest Brother’s house."

These words made Mr. Gu’s face turn red instantly, weren’t these words slapping his face?

The second brother had traveled from afar to come home, and if he were to be sent to Eldest Brother’s house, wouldn’t that be a disgrace?

"What are you talking about, Second Brother? You’re making me almost ashamed. Don’t worry, there is definitely a place for you to stay at home, we can make it work."

Hearing this, Gu Changbai’s expression softened. If he were truly kicked out by Third Brother and had to lodge at Eldest Brother’s house, he would have lost all face.

Back then, Eldest Brother had asked him, and he had outright refused. If he went to Eldest Brother’s house now, what would Eldest Brother think? What would those nosy villagers think?

Gu Chengyu was about to suggest opening a room at Eldest Brother’s house when Gu Chengli’s voice came from outside.

"Xiao Bao!" Gu Chengli had been stopped by some clansmen outside just now; with so many people inside, he hadn’t squeezed in.

Now that there was no one, he came to see Gu Chengyu. Xiao Bao had returned, and the niece and nephew should come to see him. He had just gone back to call his family.

Gu Chengyu turned and saw that Gu Chengli’s whole family had arrived.

"Eldest Brother! Eldest Sister-in-law!" Gu Chengyu called out, glancing at the two siblings standing behind and a young woman holding a small baby.

Da Lang had already married, and Li was a girl from a farming family, from Xiasang Village, not far from Shangling Village.

There were many brothers in the family, as many as six, so it could be imagined that life was tough.

The matchmaker had said the Gu Chengli couple were unwilling because there were still two brothers in the Li Family who were unmarried.

However, Da Lang made a major decision for the first time and agreed to the marriage.

Eldest Sister-in-law Mrs. Fang was not such an unreasonable person. Since Da Lang was in favor, she had no choice but to agree.

Why Da Lang agreed, or whether he had met Li, was unknown. Gu Chengyu had seen Li when he returned before; she was a delicate woman.

It was actually easy to understand, which family’s young man wouldn’t admire Mu Shao’ai? Li’s family had many brothers, but the work in the fields was all done by the brothers at home.

She only did housework at home, so she was naturally fairer than other girls, and it was not surprising that Da Lang took a liking to her.

Da Ya and Er Ya were both married, leaving only Si Ya as the girl in Eldest Brother’s house!

"Little Uncle!" Da Lang and the others called out to Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu nodded and looked at the small baby Li was holding; that was Da Lang’s son, named Gu Hongyun.

"Yun-er!" Seeing this first of the fourth generation of the Gu Family, Gu Chengyu felt a bit happier.

"Yun-er, quickly call Uncle Grandpa!" Li placed the small baby on the ground and pushed him towards Gu Chengyu.

Upon hearing the term Uncle Grandpa, Gu Chengyu suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He was only fourteen years old and already an Uncle Grandpa? How terrifying!

"Uncle Grandpa!" Yun-er, who was more outgoing than the previously seen Chang, did not dare to approach since it had been some time since he saw Gu Chengyu, but he did call out.

"Hmm! Come here!" Gu Chengyu beckoned Yun-er towards him.

"This is your Second Grandpa and Second Grandma!" Mr. Gu pointed at Gu Changbai to introduce Gu Chengli to them.

Gu Chengli was a bit surprised; wasn’t Second Grandpa supposed to have gone south? Was this really Second Grandpa?

When Second Grandpa left, he was young and couldn’t clearly remember his appearance now. But since Gu Changbai looked a bit like Uncle Gu, Gu Chengli thought it really might be Second Grandpa.

"Is this Chengli? He’s even got grandchildren now? Alas! We really have gotten old." Gu Changbai saw Gu Chengli’s family and was deeply moved.

"It really is Second Grandpa!"

Then, although the people from the eldest branch were puzzled, they still paid their respects to Gu Changbai.

Gu Chengli asked about Gu Changbai’s recent situation and, upon learning that Gu Changbai’s eldest son had died and his grandson had died young, he too felt a sigh.

"Xiao Bao! How long can you stay this time?" After chatting for a while, Gu Chengli asked about Gu Chengyu’s situation.

"About a month!" Gu Chengyu picked up Yun-er and placed him on his lap.

"Little Uncle! It must be prestigious to be an official, right?" Da Lang asked with envy in his voice.

He had previously given up on studying because he really couldn’t make a name for himself in the imperial exams. He didn’t have Gu Chengyu’s extraordinary memory, nor was he as smart, nor could he infer other things from one example, and even the teacher had lost hope in him.

Seeing Gu Chengyu’s shining family name, he was undoubtedly envious. But he did not regret giving up on the imperial exams, because he felt that farming was actually quite good; he just loved farming.

After chatting about household affairs for a while, Gu Chengli’s family suddenly brought up Gu Wanhua.

Gu Chengyu was a bit curious about this, as Gu Wanhua seemed to be having some trouble judging by Uncle Gu’s expression.

"Hua was truly ruined by that Yan Bi, who still has the mind to study?"

Bringing this up, Gu Chengli shook his head repeatedly, not approving of someone with a family bothering with women of ill repute. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Eldest Brother! What happened with Hua?" Gu Chengyu’s curiosity was piqued seeing everyone only expressing sighs.

"Isn’t it all because of that Yan Bi? Hua desperately wanted Yan Bi to give him a child, but Yan Bi was given infertility drugs by the Madam before, so how could she bear children?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lv also chimed in. Women were always more sensitive about such matters and more gossip-prone than men.

"Normally, Mrs. Xiao and Yan Bi don’t get along, often bickering over trivial matters. Yan Bi kept it a secret at first, but after so many years without children, Hua wanted to take her to the medical clinic for a checkup."

"Of course, Yan Bi refused. Later, everyone found out and suggested just raising Mrs. Xiao’s child. But Hua was not reconciled and insisted on taking Yan Bi to various medical clinics in town, the county, and even the prefecture."

Gu Chengyu could only tut-tut, surprised that Hua was such a romantic fool?

"Hua is really obsessed, too infatuated with women," Mr. Gu also sighed.

Everyone could see Uncle Gu’s high expectations for Hua. With a little over two months until the provincial exams, Mr. Gu still thought it was uncertain.

"I heard that he was shouting to take Yan Bi to the Capital for medical treatment. But is that even possible? He isn’t studying seriously; I think this time will be difficult too."

Mrs. Lv had a low opinion of Hua’s behavior and thought he would amount to nothing.

Gu Chengyu couldn’t help but sigh; this was true love indeed.

"I think, why not find another concubine for Hua to shift his focus away from Yan Bi."
