Ankles In this household, for some reason, the old master of the Gu Family was absurdly partial to Gu Youyou, a sickly girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their mother felt differently, detesting Gu Youyou the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever their mother was home, even if they were going to marry off Youyou, she would receive hardly any dowry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master gave Gu Laosan a fierce glare and huffed, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to get this marriage settled while the old lady’s away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever dares to leak this news to her won’t get a penny of the family’s fields and properties!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Laoer and Gu Laosan: “…” How did they end up with such a father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His favoritism was as clear as the sky above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he turned his glare to Gu Laoer and said, “As for the dowry, it’s the dowry that Youyou’s mother brought over when she married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quit playing dumb in front of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, no!” Gu Laoer was immediately startled, this would cost them a fortune, something he was unwilling to part with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly said, “Dad, Youyou has been sick for ten years, all the dowry left by our sister-in-law has been spent on her treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is there any dowry left now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master shook with anger and snapped, “Could all that dowry really be used up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the medical expenses supplemented by her uncle every year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her second uncle, do you really want to covet even these meager possessions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever there is, there is, now get out…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Laoer wanted to say more but was dragged out of the old master’s room by Gu Laosan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once outside, Gu Laoer exploded in anger, “Laosan, why did you pull me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dad wants us to give up that girl’s dowry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have been taking care of her for ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it reasonable to take something for ourselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Laosan quickly covered his mouth and whispered, “Erbro, are you out of your mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as we can marry off that annoying girl, what does it matter if we take a small loss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dad’s getting old, when he kicks the bucket, isn’t all the stuff left by our elder brother and sister-in-law ours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the dowry, hasn’t it already been said that it’s been spent on her medicine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dad also said we’ll account for what’s there, hm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this sly hint, Gu Laoer caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Account for what’s there, but in the end, it’s up to them to decide how much there is, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, his face broke into a smile, “Right, Laosan, you’re always the clever one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having overheard their grandfather, her second uncle, and third uncle’s conversation, Gu Youyou sneered and turned over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been locked in this room for half a year, while the original occupant had been locked in until her death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past six months, no matter what she said the Gu Family wouldn’t let her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her attempts to leave this dark room had been futile, but she certainly wouldn’t oppose the unexpected chance that had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou knew very well that if she didn’t get out of this ghostly room soon, she might indeed not make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, she heard voices coming from the second uncle and his wife’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been half a year since Gu Youyou had crossed over into this world, listening in on conversations was her only pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she’d have been suffocated to death, being shut in all day long in a room as dark as a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original owner of the body, although having been sick for ten years, possessed an extraordinary pair of ears, which could be dubbed as having the hearing of a wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could catch the conversations from nearby households, as long as she was inclined to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, although Gu Youyou hadn’t touched the door of her room in half a year, she was well informed about the situations of the families in the village, whether she was supposed to know or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very aware of the secrets of the Gu Family members and knew exactly what kind of people her second and third uncles were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew everything, except why in the past two months the old master suddenly took it into his head to marry her off.\u003C\u002Fp>",744,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","e175e33dac9d42b55b1c40244de9cae5c5de6fc00d6d115ab59a59590e654c91","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-4","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-2",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
