Chapter 25 Capability
It was only after some reassurance that the old man eased up a bit, and the old man shed a few tears, which can be regarded as venting his emotions.
Li Yu made tea and storytelling for the grandpas by making jokes, which made the old man laugh again.
Seeing that the old man was tired, he asked the second old man to drink medicine before getting out of the carriage, and the old man took a nap.
"Yu'er, thank you, if you hadn't comforted my grandfather, he might have been depressed for a long time."
The diagnosis given by the doctor is that the two elders are depressed.
Yeah, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the two sons who valued him the most were all dead.
"It's just a small matter, it will get better, and it will always let go slowly, give them some time."
Gu Lei raised his head and took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "My grandmother is exhausted. Grandpa hates the Lin family. He has been lying on my father's body to **** blood, and frequently makes trouble for my grandmother. Some family ugliness should not be publicized. I have been watching by my grandmother's side all these years. It must be clear that the Lin family's upbringing is very problematic."
"Wealth and power are charming eyes."
Li Yu knew something about his family. Gu Lei was not close to the Lin family since he was a child. The family education was fundamentally different.
"If Lin Yue bullies you again, just go back, don't look at my face, I don't have that much face."
Gu Lei's tone is very angry, and he is really tired of this cousin, but she is already an orphan, and there is no place to settle her for now.
Abandoning it halfway is not the Gu family's style of doing things, so it can only be considered later.
"Hey, both of you remember a little thing, don't worry about it, girls often quarrel, I'm not a good-tempered person, just two sentences, you big man don't care about girls, I She can handle it, she is not a bad person, and she has no heart."
Li Yu shook his head and smiled. The little girl is just a little jealous. She likes Gu Lei but won't allow others to approach her. It's normal.
"You're different from her. You're the daughter of everyone and it's normal to have a temper. I didn't see you getting angry when you see people. She can't tell the difference between the occasions and just cares about her heart."
Gu Lei shook his head helplessly.
Thinking of her mother insisting on tying the two of them together, I felt bored and disgusted, and became more and more indifferent to my mother, and finally I lost all thoughts.
Completely disregarding her own wishes, it doesn't even matter whether she is happy or not, only everything about Lin Yuelin's family is the most important thing.
Mother enjoys the prosperity and honor of the Gu family, but spends all day arranging flowers and amusing birds.
This is also the root of their conflicts. It is impossible for my father to like such a woman who has no sense of responsibility, no family honor and a sense of the overall situation. It is impossible for the old mother to work hard without resentment in his heart.
Even so, his mother still refuses to give up her plan to marry Lin Yue, which makes him even more resentful.
Li Yu saw the sad and resentful expression on Gu Lei's face, and sighed slightly, but didn't say anything. Whose family is not ashamed, talking too much will make him unable to step down.
In the afternoon, a group of them entered Shanhe City and found an inn to stay.
Boss Li settled everyone down, and directed his son and Gu Lei, "You two go to inquire about the Du family."
Xu Yang stood up, "My lord, I'll go, I do this job a lot. I used to be a beggar and I used to ask people for news and exchange money for food. I know it well."
"You can?"
"It can be done, trust me once."
"Well then, go ask about the Du family."
"good."
Xu Yang followed Li Rui and the two out.
Li Yu sent the horse to the stable and had to rest for a few days. After a long journey, he had to rest every few days. Otherwise, the women and the elderly would not be able to bear it. The carriage was not comfortable shaking back and forth.
It was two hours after Li Yu finished his work, Li Rui and the others came back.
Xu Yang went into the room to report to Boss Li.
"My lord, I have asked everything clearly. The Du family is the largest wealthy businessman. They also have a store in Shanhe City and cooperate with other businesses."
"Um."
Boss Li listened carefully.
"Du Tianlin, the head of the Du family, passed away suddenly due to illness last year. After the death of the head of the family, the Du family seized power. Fortunately, Du Yu was ruthless and resolute and temporarily stabilized the situation.
"The accounts of the Du family are in disarray, and there are many people stealing food. Du Yu had no choice but to personally **** the goods in order to make more money and stabilize the situation, and take the big ones back."
Xu Yang made inquiries very clearly.
Boss Li didn't tell him what to inquire about specifically. Xu Yang was very clever, and almost inquired about Du's family affairs.
"Anymore?"
"Yes. The former backer of the Du family has collapsed. It seems that something happened in the capital. Now the Du family has no backer. Someone has strangled the family. They have to leave a large sum of money to keep them safe. Du Yu came out just for the sake of safety." The Du family is in a state of desperation right now, and it has spread."
Xu Yang drank his saliva and continued: "Du Yu has a younger brother and a younger sister who belong to the same mother. The Du family has four households. His father has three brothers who are not relatives but descendants of concubines. There are many fights for power and profit. Because the general soldier of Jinchuan Province pinched the Du family's neck and asked him for money frequently, I didn't find out the details."
Xu Yang rubbed the corner of his clothes and glanced at Boss Li, a little scared and apprehensive, worried that he might not have done things well.
Boss Li smiled at him, stretched out his hand and snorted at his head, "You brat did a great job, well done, I'll give you meat tonight."
"Thank you, my lord."
Xu Yang's eyes gleamed happily when he got the compliment, I'm also useful.
He smiled at Brother Xu, who handed him a piece of candy, and he was as happy as a little fool.
"Yu'er, tomorrow you go to the street to buy some girls' things, and go in a big way."
"Then I will follow."
Gu Lei spoke immediately.
"Brother Rui will also go together and buy all the things we need."
"Okay, Xu Yang, which inn does the Du family stay in?"
"The largest Laifu Inn is opened by the Du family. There are several carriages, and it is very lively."
Xu Yang said it neatly while eating the candy.
Li Yu lowered his head and touched his younger brother's little face, "When my sister finishes her work, I will take you shopping tomorrow, and I will buy you whatever you want."
Brother Xu nodded obediently to his sister.
Li Yu glanced at Xu Yang, and he nodded immediately, "Miss, you go and do your work, I will accompany the second young master, and we will never leave."
Xu Yang cleverly stated his position immediately, and his reaction was extremely fast. No one taught him to change his words, and he defined his identity, fully demonstrating his strengths.
"You take this purse, and you also wear this."
Li Yu took out a purse containing silver from his luggage, and handed him a pen tube.
"Press here is a trick, there are arrows shot out, there are only three arrows, use them carefully, you keep the money, brother Xu just pay for whatever you want to eat."
"Yes, the villain has remembered."
Xu Yang happily put the things close to his body.
