Gu bent down to open the box. Although Zhou was sitting on the edge of the kang and didn't move, his eyes were already staring at the latest chapter on the box.

Lian Man'er looked clearly next to her. She knew that Zhou had the habit of secretly searching the boxes and cabinets of his daughter-in-law, but he always had a look at Gu. There are probably two reasons. One is that Gu lives in the town most of the time, and the other is that Lian Shouren has the reputation of a scholar and has hope of becoming an official. Zhou has always given Gu's scholarly wife a bit of face to his future official wife.

But now, the situation is different. Just now, the old man revealed in his conversation that he no longer expects Lian Shouren to be an official. As Mr. Lian’s pillow, Mrs. Zhou should have known Mr. Lian’s decision. Then Mrs. Zhou had no scruples about Mr. Gu.

Coupled with the usury incident, Zhou hated Gu very much.

Now in Zhou's eyes, not only did Gu's family no longer look down on Gu's family, but Gu's family was even worse than the other daughters-in-law of the Lian family. Zhou made up his mind and took out the money to be his mother-in-law and polished the Gu's family.

Gu opened a few boxes, but did not move and lean against the two on the edge.

"What's the matter? I can't tell you what it is?" Zhou was unhappy.

"No, mom." Gu said with a hurried smile, "The old man and my box are both opened. Those two..."

As Gu said, he glanced at Jiang and Lian Jizu.

"Those two are just boxes for Jizu and his wife."

Since the daughter-in-law's box must be opened, the grandson's box can of course be opened and read the full text. This room is all her children and grandchildren, and there is something to hide from her. Zhou's face became a little gloomy. Sure enough, Gu is the one with the most thoughtful and difficult among the daughter-in-law. She clearly could not say anything. She honestly opened all the boxes, but insisted on indicating that the two were just Jiang's boxes.

This is playing tricks on her.

Zhou was unhappy, and Jiang was also a little uncomfortable, feeling that she was placed in an awkward position in the middle again. On one side was her concubine and mother-in-law, while on the other side was her grandmother-in-law.

"...Open it all." Jiang's face turned red and said authentically.

"You don't need to look at Jizu and his wife's box, just look at yours." Zhou said, and finally gave his grandson and his wife a face.

"Take out everything that is not as good as our farmers." Zhou said to Gu again.

Gu then bent down again and began to search in the box.

"Slowly, you have something hanging on your hand. It makes people look down on it..." Zhou scolded and greeted Lian Man'er and Lian Xiu'er. "Xiuer Man'er, you two help her turn over."

Lian Xiu'er agreed and walked over. Lian Man'er had to follow him slowly. She thought that Zhou was just asking her to make a big noise, but she didn't expect to let her do it.

Standing beside Gu, Lian Man'er saw the things in several boxes clearly. They were covered with satin clothes, leather jackets and leather skirts, and two large-haired cloaks.

"Sister-in-law, why have you put on such a good old clothes?" Lian Xiu'er said loudly the fastest.

"It was all given by the in-laws and wife... In order to make up money, all the things that can be sold are sold, but the in-laws and wife give them. It is difficult to sell them." Gu said hurriedly, "I don't have a few clothes. Your elder brother has a lot of clothes. These are all for my mother, so there are flowers for you."

As Gu said this, he started to take out the clothes from the box. A stone-blue leather jacket was said to be for Mr. Lian, and Zhou was given the old green squirrel, a stone-blue leather skirt, and Lian Xiuer was given the silver-blue silver squirrel, a pink leather skirt, and a pink cloak.

There was nothing on Zhou's face, but Lian Xiu'er was overjoyed and couldn't let go of her clothes when she touched her clothes.

"There is also this for Man'er." Gu saw Lian Man'er next to him and took another green green vest and handed it to Lian Man'er.

"I don't want it." Lian Man'er's face was faint and she did not reach out to answer.

Gu's eyes flashed, and he quickly picked a lotus-colored squirrel and a leather skirt of the same color, and handed it to Lian Man'er.

"This is specially left for Man'er. Man'er, see if it fits well." As he said that, he shook the pony and compared it on Lian Man'er.

"Hmph." Someone snorted on the kang.

Lian Man'er turned his head and saw Lian Duoer stretching his neck and looking here. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of anger. Lian Man'er withdrew his gaze and saw Gu's secretly winking at Lian Duoer.

Lian Man'er laughed in her heart. What kind of person is Gu? If she had really prepared gifts for Zhou and others, she would have already taken them out to please him. They went there urgently that day and did things too urgently, so she did not leave any time for the unprepared Gu to think carefully and prepare. These clothes should have been brought by Lian Shouren and Gu to prepare for their own wear. Gu picked out a few pieces to please Zhou.

Yigu's cleverness should have done this long ago, and she has to do it until now, which shows how reluctant she is to take these clothes.

Lian Man'er doesn't understand it very well, but she can also see that these clothes are valuable in terms of material, workmanship and style.

The clothes are all very new, but judging from the creases, they should have been stored in the wardrobe for a long time, and the faint but very pleasant fragrance is not commonly used by Gu.

At least there is a little that Gu did not lie, most of these should be gifts from Mrs. Shen.

As for the clothes she gave her, it fits her body, then it fits Lian Duoer's body. Judging from Lian Duoer's appearance, it should be Lian Duoer's clothes. Gu wants to please her as a favor.

"Uncle, look at Duo'er like that, I wish I could eat me. I dare not take this dress." Lian Man'er smiled.

"Duoer is ignorant, Man'er, don't be as knowledgeable as her. This dress is just right for the New Year." Gu glared at Lian Duoer fiercely, then smiled at Lian Man'er.

"I don't want it, so I'd better keep Duo'er and wear it myself." Lian Man'er smiled and avoided.

"Take it all over." Zhou said.

Lian Xiu'er took the clothes from Gu's hand and placed them beside Zhou's side.

"What, you give it to whoever you say?" Zhou pointed at Gu, "What's yours here? I remember the three or two pieces of rags you brought when you entered the door. You dare to distribute this and that with a shameless face. You are also from your family. If you want to divide it, get out of your own. You can take away the little rags you brought after you marry. You can't even think of taking any other one."

The smile on Gu's face froze.

Lian Man'er turned her face away. Although she knew to be low-key and patient, the Gu family, whom she was used to being in charge, unknowingly violated the Zhou family's taboo: only the Zhou family has the right to distribute the things in the Lian family.

"Mom, I didn't say these things are mine. Mom, these are all, I'll see how to distribute them." Gu said with great awareness of the grievances back into his stomach.

Zhou snorted, and that was what she was waiting for. So she was not polite, so she came forward in person and turned several of Gu's boxes upside down. In addition to leaving a few half-new and old-fashioned bottom clothes, those women's dresses and even shoes and socks were taken out by Zhou and moved them back to her house.

Even Man'er also worked as a porter.

There are only clothes, but no money, and there is not even the jewelry on the head. As Gu said, they sold them to raise money? Zhou didn't believe it.

Zhou straightened his waist and looked at Gu fiercely.

Gu's eyes were red and he didn't dare to say a word.

Gu's eyes fell on the other two unopened boxes. She suspected that it was not the box of Jiang and Lian Jizu at all.

"Xiu'er," Zhou greeted Lian Xiu'er, "Get my indigo clothes and let her change the clothes on her body."

Lian Xiu'er agreed to go out. After a while, she took a set of old coarse cloth clothes, which was a style that older women often wore.

"Jizu, Jizu's wife." Zhou relaxed his face and called Lian Jizu and Jiang to him, "There are days left in this room, and Niu Niu can't stand the cold. You two will take Niu Niu and I to live in the east room."

Even though he suspected that Jiang's family helped the Gu family hide the East and West, Zhou's attitude towards Jiang was still kind.

Gu's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but Zhou's family is not simple either.

Lian Jizu and Jiang looked at each other, and it was hard to say whether to go or not.

"That's it, your master also asked you to move here." Zhou said again.

"Hey, let's take Niu Niu tonight." Lian Jizu replied.

Zhou nodded, very satisfied, walked to the door, stopped again, and looked back at Gu.

"You haven't changed your clothes and cooked with fire. Why are you waiting for that? I'll serve you all the time!" Zhou scolded.

Gu's promised repeatedly.

Gu changed into Zhou's old clothes and came out to cook, but lost all her glamor and looked ten years older. Jiang also came out to help, but Zhou said nothing, and she also changed into a dress with a small cloth jacket and skirt.

Gu was circling around by the Zhou clan's envoy. Zhou kept scolding him, and Gu did not dare to repay a word.

Lian Man'er didn't keep watching, so she hurried back to the breakfast shop with Goro and Xiaoqi.

Nearly noon, the guests had dispersed. Zhang and Zhao were cooking, and Ye'er helped to burn the fire under the stove.

Lian Man'er talked about how Zhou family was to Gu family.

"Sister Man'er, you went to the county town yesterday. Later, my mother ran to the gate and scolded the uncle, saying that it was all bad ideas from the uncle." Lian Ye'er said.

"Your master's illness scared your breasts. She hated your uncle so much." Zhang said.

"My mother can live a more relaxed life." Lian Ye'er said.

Lian Man'er's eyes turned around the faces of several people, thinking to himself, it turns out that everyone, like her, does not sympathize with Gu.

"Must is amazing, but my uncle is not like my third uncle and my mother. My uncle is not easy to mess with." Lian Man'er thought for a while and said.

"Your uncle is very conscientious, but his seniority is there. She is a daughter-in-law, and your breasts are mother-in-law." Zhang did not agree with Lian Man'er's statement, "Besides, didn't she ask your breasts to be short this time? She can't turn her body around."

"Let's wait and see." Lian Man'er said, who knows what will happen in the future?
