Chapter 296: Out of Character
"Ah! I was just worried you might not be pleased, but this is great, it’s been a long time since our family has gotten along so well." Gu Lao Er said as he snatched the meat from Gu Lao San’s hand and brought it into the house together.
Gu Lao San didn’t say much, only turned to Sanya and said, "Sanya, go to the fields and call your brother and sister, and your mother to come back for lunch."
Sanya was thrilled at the mention of meat for lunch, and two big pieces at that, and without a word ran off.
"Qiuju, start cooking, make plenty!" Gu Lao San then told Meng Qiuju.
Meng Qiuju also seemed a bit puzzled but still happily nodded her head and said, "I’ll go get Erya to come help."
Having said that, she quickly walked away.
In the courtyard stood Gu Youyou and Gu Lao San. Gu Youyou had wanted to say that she was going to check on Grandpa in the house, but before she could speak, Gu Lao San beat her to it.
"Youyou, Dad spoke truthfully. As the only blood of your eldest brother, we, your uncles and aunts, have wronged you in the past and held some misunderstandings about you. Now that your mother has passed, your Third Uncle suddenly feels as if something is missing, and upon reflection, I recalled something Dad said when your elder brother and his wife passed away: we only have so many relatives, when one dies, there’s one less.
