My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

127 Chapter 127 Trampling On Her Dignity

“Doctor Gu….” Chang Shun was stunned for a moment. He sized Gu Chengrui up thoughtfully and continued, “I wondered why you looked so familiar. I didn’t expect you to be that Doctor Gu.”

“Yes, if you need anything, just say the word. We’re family now.” Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded.

“Yes, yes, I will.”

“Then I will leave you to your work. It’s getting late, so we’ll go back now.” Zhou Ying said her goodbyes, and the two walked out.

“Alright, take care, you two.” Chang Shun stood up and sent them out of the manor after that.

Then, he turned back, weighing the silver in his hand before happily walking back.

In the evening, after the couple returned home, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about the warehouse she found in the manor. “I didn’t expect that there would still be things left behind after the house was ransacked.”

“Maybe they didn’t take it because it was too heavy. Don’t forget that the main house’s decorations, calligraphy, and paintings are all gone.”

“That’s true, but at least we won’t have to buy fabric for the next three years.”

“Yeah, please help me make another undershirt when you have time. Big brother Zhou took the previous one, and I don’t have enough to change into.”

“Alright, I’ll make two more sets this time.”

As soon as Zhou Ying’s words fell, Er Zhuang barked twice. Gu Chengrui immediately turned around and walked out.

Seeing it was Gu Chengxi, he paused for a moment before greeting him, “It’s you. Do come in quickly.”

“Third brother,” Gu Chengxi greeted and walked in.

However, the previously talkative boy had become somewhat reserved.

Gu Chengrui took a few green bean cakes and handed them to him. “What’s going on? You look like a frosted eggplant, wilted, too.”

“Do you know about the Qiao family that got raided?”

“Of course. I learned about it yesterday. Isn’t this a good thing for the Gu family?”

“It’s a good thing. As a result, uncle and my father want to resume their old business.

“However, the family did not have enough money to buy a boat, so they thought of marrying sixth sister off.”

“Sixth sister? But Gu Ziqiong, Mrs. Huang’s daughter, hasn’t reached marriageable age.” Zhou Ying exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Aunt Huang disagrees since she’s still five months away. She suggested that since fourth and fifth sisters were already of age, they should be the ones getting married.

“There was almost a fight happening at home, so I escaped.”

“Who are they marrying our sixth sister to?” Gu Chengrui asked, deep in thought.

Mrs. Huang would not have had such a big reaction if her daughter’s marriage partner were decent. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao wouldn’t let go of a good marriage partner either, so it could be seen that this wasn’t an ideal marriage partner.

“It’s Uncle Mi, who was in the bean sprout business with father.

“I heard he’s turning 30 this year, and sixth sister is marrying him as his second wife.

“His ex-wife also left behind a son and a daughter. The older daughter is already eight years old, while the younger son is already six.”

“Isn’t this just trampling on her dignity?” Zhou Ying was speechless.

A young girl who hadn’t reached marriageable age was marrying an old man and becoming the stepmother of two children. No sane person would be willing to do so.

Gu Chengxi nodded his head in agreement. Then, he picked up the green bean cake and gobbled it up.

Gu Chengrui was silent before asking, “How many days have you not eaten? You look like you are starving.”

“Don’t mention it. Ever since the incident, the food reserve at home has been plummeting. I’ve been staying hungry for a long time.” Gu Chengxi said as he ate, stretching his neck from time to time to swallow in big gulps.

Zhou Ying quickly poured him a glass of water. “Eat slowly. No one will snatch them from you.”

“Thank you, third sister-in-law,” Gu Chengxi thanked her as he took the glass of water and drank it in two gulps.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying shook her head and went to the kitchen to boil five eggs for him. She took a pound of braised dried tofu from her interspace and gave it to him. “Have this to line your stomach for the time being. I will start cooking now, so you can eat with us tonight.”
