My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

241 Chapter 241 being looked down upon

She hoped to return to the upper-class circle in the capital. She had been working hard to earn money all these years, hoping to use money to build connections and help master Cheng rise step by step.

She couldn’t count on her mother’s family. She was a concubine’s daughter who married in place of her elder sister. Her mother didn’t allow her to go back and couldn’t wait for her to be outside for her whole life.

Her father would not help her until Lord Cheng achieved great things.

But now, she had a promising son.

If her son could get into the first, or even the second, in two years ‘time, her father would definitely step forward to help.

At that time, she would definitely be able to return.

......

“I’ve asked the broker these few days. There are a total of three manors for sale around our village. The area was about the same, between 120 to 150 mu. The price ranges from one thousand five hundred to two thousand taels.” On the way back, Gu shouxin told Cai Xiaolian about the country estate.

Previously, they had discussed that they would first buy a Manor for Gu Nian. After they had earned enough money, they would buy another one for Gu Xin. Then, they would buy a house and a shop.

“Do you have the blueprint?” Cai Xiaolian asked.

“Yes, I’ve seen it, but I didn’t look very carefully. Why don’t we take niannian and Xinxin to see it together during the new year? Let niannian choose which one she likes.” Gu shouxin said.

“Well, that’s good. This girl was really capable! We’ve only been here for three months, and we’ve already earned almost three thousand taels of silver.” Cai Xiaolian sighed.

“You’re also very powerful! In my previous life and this life, I have never seen such a good business person like wifey.” Gu shouxin said sincerely.

“You flatter me! I’ve never seen someone as good at studying as you in my previous life.” Cai Xiaolian cupped her hands and said with a smile.

Previously, when she saw Gu shouxin flipping through the book very quickly, she even laughed and asked if he could remember the contents.

Then, Gu shouxin memorized half of the book for her. If it wasn’t for her headache, Gu shouxin would have memorized another book for her.

Not only could he memorize it, but he could also explain the meaning to Cai Xiaolian.

Even when his two daughters were doing the horse stance or stepping on the plum blossom dome, he had to teach them a few words from time to time and explain the meaning behind it.

Every morning, the family of four would study and exercise. Cai Xiaolian quite liked it.

Anyway, she was now very confident about Gu shouxin’s imperial examination. She heard that after he passed the examination and became an official, he would have to do all kinds of things. Well, she had to work hard to earn money!

It was almost dark when they reached the village.

It was New Year’s Eve tomorrow, and every household was lively. Those who had been working outside had returned and they met many acquaintances on the way.

After the ox-cart sent them back to the old house, the couple headed home. From afar, they saw a big man loitering at the gate of their house.

“Haha, niannian’s peach blossom.” Cai Xiaolian said with a smile after seeing the person.

“Zhang Yungui?” Gu shouxin frowned.

“That’s right, this kid hasn’t been home for more than a month. It’s said that he’s working hard in the blacksmith shop to buy gold jewelry for niannian! Every time I meet Lady Li Zheng, she would roll her eyes at me. ” Cai Xiaolian was speechless.

“Niannian is more unlucky than the two of us. She doesn’t know what the original owner did! Let’s go and take a look!” Gu shouxin said helplessly.

“Second uncle Gu, second aunt Gu.” Zhang Yungui, the big black guy, saw the two of them and called out to them nervously.

He was holding a beautiful box in his hand.

“Yes, I am. Yungui, is it because niannian doesn’t want to meet you?” Gu shouxin asked.
