The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 453 - 463: Visit Home

From shock and disbelief to shame, various emotions were evident on Dabao and Erbao’s faces, while Sanya simply stared blankly at her parents and siblings.

If it weren’t for hearing Qin Changlin speak, she wouldn’t have known that the siblings who once lived together in a large courtyard had become enemies.

After leaving the Gu Family with Erya and Gu Sanbao, Meng Qiuju was scorned by the villagers. If outsiders who were unaware of the circumstances that was one thing, but couldn’t they understand that children are innocent? The misdeeds were committed by Gu Wu, and they weren’t related to anyone else.

Forcing people into desperation—it all boiled down to interests in the end.

"So, you’ve come back dead set on driving our family out?" Huang Xiangwen looked at Gu Youyou with resentful eyes.

Gu Youyou was unmoved, replying coldly, "If I were you, I would go to the Governor’s Office and turn myself in sooner rather than argue with me."

Gu Wu glared at Gu Youyou with hatred and said, "Do you really intend to send me to the Governor’s Office?"

"If you don’t go and confess, you can try it out," Gu Youyou said impatiently, glaring back at Gu Wu.

She said coldly, "You have one day to think about this. By tomorrow noon, I hope to see a satisfactory outcome."

...

The thatched cottage they previously lived in had changed greatly, encircled by a fence that significantly enlarged the yard.

The vegetable garden in the courtyard was divided in half, one side planted with vegetables, and the other with various medicinal herbs left by Gu Youyou.

Jin Zijin and Shunzi stood in a corner of the courtyard, speaking in low voices, with Shunzi nodding from time to time.

Gu Sanbao, only eleven years old, sat on a small stool, chopping wood with a firewood knife, which was difficult for him due to his young age, often taking a while to cut through a piece of wood.

Smoke was billowing from the house, someone was cooking—it must have been Erya.

Seeing Gu Youyou arrive, Shunzi called out to his big sister from a distance, clearly happy.

Gu Youyou approached with a smile and a gentle nod.

"Shunzi, have you been well lately?"

He used to call her Sister Youyou, but since his engagement with Erya, he had started calling her big sister following Erya’s lead.

Shunzi, still looking simple and honest, scratched his head and said with a laugh, "Big sister, don’t worry, we are all fine. Thanks to the house and vegetable garden you and brother-in-law left us, or else we’d be living in a cave and eating wild vegetables."

Gu Sanbao put down his firewood knife, walked a few steps towards Gu Youyou, and then stopped. When Gu Youyou looked at him, he awkwardly averted his eyes, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

"Gu Sanbao!" Gu Youyou called him softly.

The child was different from before. Previously, both Gu old third and Meng Qiuju doted on him and didn’t make him work. Before leaving the Gu Family, the only task he had performed was perhaps herding cattle.

But now, he could chop wood, albeit not very well.

"Big sister," Gu Sanbao’s cheeks turned red and he called out in an extremely soft voice.

Inside the house, a thin figure hurried out, her hands and face somewhat smudged with black soot—it was Erya, who was still inside cooking.

"Big sister..." she called out loudly, sounding urgent and flustered.

"Erya, it’s me," Gu Youyou said softly, with a light chuckle.

Erya’s hair was done in the common style for women, and she had lost much weight, her complexion pallid. Moreover... when Gu Youyou saw Erya’s stomach slightly bulging beneath the loose cotton clothes, she appeared to be about five or six months pregnant.

"Big sister..." Erya’s tears fell swiftly, and she quickly ran up to Gu Youyou, wanting to embrace her, but seeing herself covered in soot, she ultimately refrained.

Gu Youyou smiled and just held her hand, gently patting the back of it, saying, "A pregnant woman shouldn’t get too emotional. Don’t cry."
