Madam Lin nodded, turned around and went out to look for Mr. Gu.

The room of Mr. and Mrs. Gu was next to the room of Mr. Gu. Mrs. Lin stood at the door and shouted, "Dad, are you in the room? I'm coming in."

After saying that, she waited for a moment, pushed open the half-open door and went in.

Inside the room, Mr. Gu was smoking the water pipe he made himself. When he saw Mrs. Lin come in, he raised his eyelids and asked, "What's wrong, eldest daughter-in-law?"

Since the new daughter-in-law came in, she has been quite polite to him, so Mr. Gu gave her face and took the initiative to speak to her.

Madam Lin smiled and said, "Dad, the boss asked me to call you."

"The Boss called me?" Old Master Gu paused, put down his pipe, and followed Madam Lin to find Boss Gu.

Madam Lin did not go into the house, but went to Mrs. Wu and Gu Laoer's room. The door was open, so Madam Lin went in directly.

Mrs. Wu was half lying on the bed sewing shoe soles. She was a little surprised to see Mrs. Lin come in.

"Sister-in-law, is my second brother here?" Mrs. Lin asked with a smile.

Mrs. Wu pointed outside and said sarcastically, "At this hour, he must have gone to work in the fields. How could your uncle be so lucky that he doesn't have to work in the fields and doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at home?"

Gu Laoer lost his job as an accountant in town and couldn't find any other work, so he stayed at home doing nothing.

Old Master Gu couldn't stand it anymore, and seeing that no one was taking care of the few acres of land at home, he became anxious and angry, so he had no choice but to force Old Master Gu to work in the fields.

At first, Gu Laoer was reluctant and complained several times, and also thought about being lazy, but since Grandpa Gu personally took him with him and kept an eye on him, he had no choice but to go.

Gradually, Gu Laoer started to get the hang of it, so Grandpa Gu stopped going and let Gu Laoer do the work on his own. Sometimes, he would also ask Gu Yunyan to help.

However, Mr. Gu still hoped that Gu Yunyan could find a good marriage, so he didn't dare let her do heavy work, and only let her do some simple work.

Mrs. Wu became very angry when she thought about the work her husband and daughter were doing now, which was previously done by Boss Gu.

She didn't know about the division at that time. If she had known, she would definitely not agree!

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. Not only did my eldest uncle divide the family, he also remarried and will soon live in a big brick and tile house again. Such a good life has all come after the family was divided!

Mrs. Wu treated Mrs. Lin coldly. Mrs. Lin pretended not to see it, smiled, and directly explained her purpose.

"Sister-in-law, Yun Xi's father wants to ask my second brother to come over for something. When my second brother comes back, please tell him. I will go back first and will not disturb your rest."

Mrs. Lin's face was calm, without any sign of anger or embarrassment. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Mrs. Wu was angry. She threw the sole of her shoe heavily back into the basket and stared at Mrs. Lin's back without saying a word.

Why is it that we are all women, but Madam Lin, who is remarried, can live better than me and will soon live in a big brick and tile house!

Mrs. Lin didn't think too much. She came out of Wu's room, shook her head, and went straight back to her room.

In fact, she understood Wu's sarcasm, but she just didn't want to argue with her. She had seen many women like Wu before.

In fact, Wu was not as bad as the people she had met before, so Wu's cold words were nothing in her eyes.

After entering the house, Madam Lin took the initiative to say, "Master, my second brother is not here. His wife said he went to the fields. I will go and invite him when he comes back later."

Boss Gu was sitting on the bed, talking to Old Man Gu. When he heard what Madam Lin said, he nodded and continued talking to Old Man Gu.

"Dad, when we go to the beam raising ceremony tomorrow, you and my second brother should come. Yunxi has already bought candies, firecrackers and other things for the beam raising ceremony."

Old Man Gu nodded slightly, feeling quite proud. It was a big brick and tile house, his son's home!

If in the future... then he can also live in. The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the more he felt it was appropriate, and a smile gradually appeared on his brows.

"Okay, okay, Boss, don't worry, I'll go there with your second brother and the others in the morning."

"By the way, how are you going to get there? Can you walk? Or should I ask your second brother to carry you there?"

Hearing what Mr. Gu said, Boss Gu felt a little warm in his heart and his eyes turned red. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Madam Lin speak.

"Dad, don't bother my second brother. We have already told Yun Xi that Butler He will come to help tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu nodded slowly: "Okay."

He knew that Butler He came to deliver food to his eldest son's family every day. With Butler He's help, it would not be a problem for his eldest son to get to the new house.

It would be better if the second son didn't need to help. Grandpa Gu regretted the moment he said he wanted to help. What if the second son was unwilling? Wouldn't he lose face?

"Well, boss, you should rest more. I'll go back first."

Mr. Gu stood up with a smile, and Mrs. Lin also stood up and watched him go back into the house.

Turning back into the house, Madam Lin glanced at Boss Gu who was sitting on the bed, gritted her teeth, and said, "Boss, will you blame me for what I said just now?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Boss Gu was a little confused, not knowing what Madam Lin meant.

Madam Lin took a deep breath and said, "In fact, we didn't explain it clearly to Butler He early tomorrow morning. I said it myself. I didn't want my second brother to help carry you."

"It's quite a distance from home to the new house. I'm not sure if my second brother, who is so small, can carry you. Besides, just now..."

"I went to my second brother's room and felt that his wife's attitude was a bit cold. I thought that if I asked my second brother to help, his wife would have some ideas, so let's just forget it, right?"

Boss Gu was startled when he heard this, and nodded: "Okay, I have no objection to this, but I will have to trouble Butler He early tomorrow morning."

Ever since he fell ill, it was Butler He who mostly helped him go to the toilet, and it was Butler He who brought him rice, flour, meat and vegetables. Boss Gu was very grateful to Butler He.

The couple agreed that when Gu Laoer came back from the fields, Mrs. Lin would personally invite him into the house and tell him about the beam raising.

Gu Laoer went to work in the fields. His fair face was tanned red and he was sweating profusely. He didn't even have time to wash his hands, and his body and face were covered in mud.

When he heard his elder brother say that the beams would be put up tomorrow, Gu Laoer's smile froze and a trace of confusion flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up with a smile.

"Oh, congratulations, big brother and big sister. I will definitely go there tomorrow. Okay, I'm sweating all over, so I'll leave first."

Without waiting for Boss Gu and Madam Lin to respond, Second Brother Gu left in a hurry.

Boss Gu and Madam Lin looked at each other, and seemed to understand why Boss Gu reacted like that.
