With Gu Qingyao around, the food in the Gu family was much better. With Third Uncle and Third Brother around, Zhou Ping was much more obedient. She once again returned to the life of a housewife.
The weather was getting colder. The autumn harvest had already ended in her hometown. The grain was distributed earlier this year. Once the grain was distributed, Gu Yunshen sent some over.
After receiving the grain, Zhou Ping was even more satisfied.
Along with Gu Yunshen's package was news of Eldest Uncle's family.
Eldest Uncle's family was doing well in the northeast. Although the conditions were tough, nothing worse had happened. Gu Yunshen's letter was very vague, but Gu Qingyao understood that her father was telling her that it was safe there and that she could send some supplies over to Eldest Uncle's family.
Gu Qingyao was delighted. She was relieved that Eldest Uncle's family was fine.
She hurriedly sent some coarse and fine grains, some meat, dried vegetables, cotton, and cloth.
The winter in the northeast was very cold. It was really difficult to survive without cotton.
Meanwhile, in the capital.
Old Master Mo had also received all the information about the Gu family and the Mo family.
In the study, Old Master Mo, Grandma Mo, and the butler were all present. Grandma Mo looked at the information and asked, "How is it? How are they doing over there? "
Old Master Mo was the first to read it. He placed the information in Grandma Mo's hands and said, "Beihan's mother is called Jiang Yingqiu. Her brother is the leader of their brigade. Their family's environment was good. Moreover, Jiang Yingqiu was literate and polite since she was young. She was a little different from the illiterate girls in the countryside.
"Eldest Brother probably liked Jiang Yingqiu back then. She was not ugly. Compared to the people around her, she looked like a pretty girl from a humble family. Moreover, her family was well-off. If he married such a girl, he would suffer less in the countryside."
Grandma Mo trembled. "That bastard. How could he do such a heartless thing?"
Elder Mo sighed. "When Eldest Son came back, the two children were still very young. Jiang Yingqiu raised them all by herself. It wasn't easy for Eldest Grandson to start a family, but who would have thought that he would die outside, leaving behind two young children. When his wife saw this, she immediately ran away and married someone else. She never cared about them again."
"So, Jiang Yingqiu raised two more grandsons. Beihan left when he was fifteen. It was only in the past few years that their lives became better after Beihan got a good job and got a salary."
"Jiang Yingqiu got sick from overwork."
Back then, Mo Beihan had not told him about these things, but Elder Mo could guess. Now that he had received the real news, it was indeed true.
Then, he looked at the Gu family.
"The ancestors of the Gu family were big landlords. They were a top aristocratic family and their ancestors were very glorious. The old lady was the daughter of a Shanghai capitalist in the past and was also born into a top aristocratic family. Now, the Gu family's days in the Qing River Brigade are not very good."
"However, the descendants of the Gu family are doing well. The second son is doing the best. The two children are also doing well. The third son's family is in the provincial capital, and the eldest son's family …"
Elder Mo frowned. "Something happened. They went to the northeast."
Grandma Mo looked at him. "It happened at the beginning of this year. They were doing well."
Elder Mo sighed. "In this day and age, you never know when you will be unlucky. It is inevitable that something will happen. It seems that they are fine."
Grandma Mo said, "As long as they are fine."
