Old Mrs. Gu was extremely happy. The little girl spoke better than the bad man. She immediately picked up Tian Bao who was holding her thigh, kissed her again and again, and then turned her head and glanced at Mr. Gu coldly.
"Eat!"
A cold voice made Mr. Gu want to cry.
Tian Bao, who was lying in Mrs. Gu's arms, turned to look at his father, quietly gestured to him, and after shushing, he successfully received the distress signal from his father.
Mr. Gu's mood has improved a little. He wanted to feel a sense of accomplishment in front of his daughter, but he didn't want to be caught.
Alas.
As usual, the Gu family divided two tables, one large and one small. The children sat on the small table, and the adults sat on the big table. By the way, there was also a little adult with a higher seniority.
The eldest daughter-in-law divided the bowls and chopsticks, turned around and looked around, and found that everyone was seated, except for her men. She had obviously heard from Xiao Liu that her father was back.
Mrs. Gu also saw the uneasiness among the elders. She frowned and asked the man next to her.
"Where's the boss? It's time to eat. Where is he?" Tianbao didn't eat much at noon, must he be hungry early?
"He has something to do. He will eat without waiting." Why wait? It's okay for the boy to be hungry for a while.
As soon as Mr. Gu said this, everyone moved their dishes and chopsticks, but Tianbao was the only one who didn't move.
Others should eat, and she had to wait for her eldest brother. After all, his eldest brother was also busy because of her.
Old Mrs. Gu Yong used serving chopsticks to pick up the food for Tianbao, only to realize that she hadn't touched a bite at this moment, and even the steamed egg custard was almost cold.
"Tianbao, what's wrong? But what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Gu's voice was neither loud nor quiet. The Gu family did not make other noises while eating. At this time, they all stopped after hearing what Mrs. Gu said.
The nephews all ran over and gathered around the little aunt, looking at her with concern, but they couldn't say a word.
The two sisters-in-law also quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, the one who poured hot water poured hot water, and one of them even wanted to go out to find the doctor.
Gu Lao Qi put down his chopsticks and ran ahead of his sister-in-law to find the doctor, but was stopped by Mr. Gu.
"Everyone sit down, Xiaoyi, you take your younger brothers and sisters to eat. Laoqi, come back! Your little sister is not sick."
Tianbao was really frightened this time. She knew that her family loved her very much and her brothers loved her. Her sisters-in-law love her, her sisters are happy, and her nephews respect her. She feels that as long as she says it hurts, her family will surround her all night long.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before, especially in this era where men were superior to women, this kind of equal love even exceeded many.
"Mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, sixth sister, seventh brother, and nephews, I have nothing to do. I just want to wait for my eldest brother to have dinner together."
Tianbao felt warm in her heart, and the smile on her face became brighter.
Little did she know that her unintentional words of truth would further solidify her path to being loved.
At this time, Boss Gu, who was working hard with an oil lamp in Gu's seventh room, finally wrote a contract that satisfied him after scrapping eight pieces of rice paper.
After turning off the oil lamp, Boss Gu walked over with the newly written contract, blowing the ink as he walked. When he looked up, he found that everyone was staring at him, and even a few boys looked at him with resentful expressions.
What happened to them?
Boss Gu was filled with suspicion. When he looked up and saw Mr. Gu's resentful expression, he frowned. Did his father want to beat him again?
Even though he was suspicious, he still had business to attend to, so he ignored these looks for the time being and hurriedly walked to Tianbao and sat down. "Little sister, the elder brother has sorted out one. See if it suits you."
He said that he was about to hand the contract to Tianbao. Tianbao did not take it, but looked at his elder brother helplessly.
Brother! I can't read! Oh, no, I can read and write, but now she is three years old and is indeed illiterate!
"Brother, you should read it again." Tianbao's resentful little eyes drifted towards Boss Gu.
He could ignore other people's resentful looks, but his little sister's eyes went straight to his heart.
Why is the younger sister also resentful?
"You idiot! How could I have given birth to such a stupid son like you?" Even he knew that Tianbao was illiterate!
Mr. Gu couldn't stand it any longer. He cursed angrily, then grabbed the contract from Mr. Gu's hand, lowered his head and read it carefully.
I looked at it casually at first, but the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became. This contract was simply unprecedentedly bold. Once it came out, you can imagine how shocked it would be.
"This contract can be used privately. It must not be made public."
Mr. Gu did not say the reason. He only gave instructions in a deep voice, then put the contract away and said that he would read it to Tianbao later, so that the whole family could I moved my chopsticks.
In the evening, after Mrs. Gu gave Tianbao a bath, she took him to her room. It was strange that she hadn't hugged her daughter for several nights.
Mr. Gu followed him into the house. When he saw Mrs. Gu ignoring him, he thought she was angry about what happened at night and walked over with a flattering smile on her face.
"Madam."
"Okay, don't say it." She would feel sick if she continued to speak. How grown-up she was, and the lady was always longer than the lady.
There was a lot that Mr. Gu wanted to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Gu knocked him back to his original state. He finally swallowed what was in his heart. It didn't matter that he would always speak out one day.
When Mrs. Gu gave Tianbao a bath, she was comforted properly. In fact, Mrs. Gu was not angry with Mr. Gu at all. She forgot about it after saying it, but she couldn't see his shameless look. .
"Boss, what's written in the contract?" You immediately changed your expression. Mrs. Gu didn't ask the next sentence because she knew that even if she didn't ask, Mr. Gu would make it clear.
After hearing this, Mr. Gu sighed.
"The contract is very fair, especially for poor people who go out to work. However, if this contract is implemented, it will affect the interests of the old school and be detrimental to us."
This contract is beneficial to the people, and it can also be regarded as benefiting the people. , but it has benefited others.
How can ants shake a big tree?
Tianbao understood the key, but he looked confused on his face, and he was also calculating the interests in his heart.
She wanted to appease the long-term worker about the contract. After all, her original intention was that you came to work to make money, not to sell yourself as a slave. It was also a reassurance to Liu Xi and the others, but she did not expect the relationship behind it.
She originally wanted to use this contract for herself, but if someone with an intention knew about it and took it away to take advantage of it, then the fault behind it would belong to the Gu family.
After all, in this era, not only are men superior to women, but they also have power and money, and her family has neither.
Mr. Gu turned to Tianbao and briefly talked about the contents of the contract, but he was afraid that Tianbao wouldn't understand so he changed it into simple and easy-to-understand words.
And Tianbao is also cooperating with Mr. Gu to perform.
