Chapter 472: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
Chapter 472: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
Tao Chunhua was diagnosed with pregnancy in the spring of the following year.
Gu Mancang, who was almost drained of energy, watched Tao Chunhua stroking her abdomen and smiling, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed his tense body, slightly turned his face, and met the smiling Gu Li's eyes.
"Dad, I have a younger brother now! Thank you, Dad! You've worked so hard, Dad!"
Grain full warehouse: ------
Gu Mancang sent the doctor away as if he had heard nothing, and also sent away his outspoken daughter. He was about to take care of his pregnant wife.
His wife said to him with joy: "Thank you, Brother Mancang, I have another child!"
Gu Mancang felt strange. Why did everyone come to thank him? The child was also his, but he seemed like a peddler, running errands and delivering goods, and he would have nothing to do in the future.
"Oh, the day after tomorrow is the Flower Goddess Festival, and I promised to take Xiaoli'er to the street to join in the fun, but-----"
Gu Mancang: "Xiao Li'er is not a person who likes to be busy. The reason why she wants to go is to ask you to go out and relax together."
Tao Chunhua glanced at the rough guy and spoke louder, "You have to tell me, Xiao Li'er is such a good girl. Why don't you take her out to play the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Mancang thought for a moment and said, "Let Xingqing go with her. I have to stay at home with you!"
Tao Chunhua nodded in satisfaction and added, "In two months, Xiao Li'er will be coming of age. It's just two months away. Otherwise, Xiao Li'er can still participate in this year's Flower God Festival and let all the good boys in Wufeng City see how beautiful my adorable Xiao Li'er is!"
Gu Mancang bared his big white teeth. He was the man of the entire Wufeng City. It turned out that Tao Chunhua, who was confident, could be so domineering.
However, Gu Mancang soon stopped smiling unhappily, "Xiao Li'er is still young, I want to keep her for another two years."
Tao Chunhua touched her belly, which was not rising or falling, and changed her sitting position. "What do you know? If we wait another two years, the good ones will be picked up by others. How can the remaining ugly ones be worthy of our little Li'er!"
"We have to start looking for Xiaoli'er before she even reaches the age of 15. We need to look at her character, family background, and the relationship with her parents-in-law. We have to do all these slowly. It will take at least a year or two to decide."
Gu Mancang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "You are right."
Tao Chunhua became more and more excited as she spoke. "When we meet the right person, we'll get married first. It doesn't matter if we get married later. Not to mention you, I also want to keep Xiao Li'er for a few more years, at least to let her spend more time with the baby in my belly!"
--------
"Miss, there's news from the front yard that the young master has sent someone back with something. The master and the mistress are in the front hall." Zhiqiu walked in quickly from outside, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible, and spoke quickly.
Gu Li raised her head from the storybook.
Is there finally any news about He Yunwang?
He should have news by now.
Because of her, He Yunwang's enlistment in the army was delayed for four years. According to the original trajectory, it would have been the sixth year now.
It's time for him to come back.
Gu Li gently turned a page of the storybook in her hand and started reading again.
"Miss, won't you go to the front hall and take a look?"
Zhiqiu was the maid He Yunwang bought for her two years ago. She was two years older than Gu Li, and as expected of someone from the general's mansion, she was indeed better at taking care of people than Xiaotao.
"Go wait in the front hall. Come back and tell me if you have anything to say. I can't let go of this thing."
"Yes."
Zhiqiu left, and Gu Li's eyes fell on the pages of the book and did not move for a long time.
Since there was no way to change He Yunwang's trajectory of joining the army and starting a career, Gu Li had to find a way to change her own destiny.
Gu Li followed her heart and became a successful stay-at-home girl. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month when the family had to eat together, Gu Li would not even step out of the second door in the backyard.
He truly lived up to the habit of not leaving the front door or going out the back door.
Among the neighbors, except for the Hua family who knew the family well, if no one mentioned it, everyone would almost forget that the Gu family had a girl who was about to reach marriage age.
She has become so insignificant that no one should regard her as a threat to He Yunwang anymore.
When He Yunwang returns home, she will remind him to be careful of the loyalty and treachery of the people around him. It would be safest to catch the spy!
It would be bad if you didn’t catch her and instead caught someone else from the Gu family!
"Miss, ma'am!"
Gu Li was trying hard to recall the details about the so-called spy in her previous life when Zhiqiu came running back from the front hall, panting heavily.
Zhiqiu ran in holding a large package and said happily, "Miss, this is specially prepared for you by Master Yun."
There was a label with her name on the package. Gu Li stood up and walked to the table and opened the large package which was wrapped in a whole piece of snow fox skin.
The furry inner lining was still a package. When I opened it again, I found that it was mink fur this time, and inside it was a very ordinary cloth bag.
Gu Li picked up the heavy cloth bag, untied the drawstring and was stunned when she saw what was inside.
The contents are absolutely worthy of the two layers of fine fur covering the outside.
Gu Li poured the things onto the table, and the agates that rolled out jingled. Almost all the colors of agates were gathered here, red, blue, purple, yellow, green, black----
Gu Li also found two pieces of amber. One piece of yellow amber with a high degree of transparency contained a scorpion. The other piece was a very beautiful blood amber, a deep red, and it was obvious at a glance that this thing was very valuable.
Gu Li was dazzled by what she saw, but that was not the end. There was a small bag inside the cloth bag, which contained various jade ornaments.
Jade pendants, jade bracelets, jade earrings, jade bead bracelets, jade hairpins, jade pen holders-----
He Yunwang thought, didn’t he go to join the army to fight? So he must have robbed some jewelry store!
Gu Li put all the things back into the cloth bag with some uneasiness.
These things seem to have unknown origins.
"Who delivered the things to the house? Did the person leave? Did they just deliver the things back?"
"The man who came here called Young Master Yun He Yajian, saying that He Yajian was passing through Wufeng and was worried about his family, so he asked his men to come back first to ensure their safety. When He Yajian goes to the city to report the above details to General Xiao, he will return home immediately!"
The guard is responsible for the army's garrison, training and border defense affairs, and is usually a young military officer.
Two years is indeed not a lot of experience, but in time, he will continue to move up.
In his previous life, he spent six years to rise from a soldier to a ninth-rank inspector. In this life, he, who had the title of scholar, took only two years to become a sixth-rank prison guard.
Did she accidentally help He Yunwang bring forward his own death threat?
Gu Li didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The beautiful stone suddenly didn't seem so dazzling in her eyes.
This is going to take her life!
