Lian Qingmei had also not slept the entire night. Seeing Gu Qingzi push open the door and enter, both of them asked each other with bloodshot eyes, "You didn't sleep the entire night?"

Gu Qingzi pursed her lips and smiled, "Zhi has a fever. I was afraid that he would have another fever at night, so I stayed the night. The fever did not come back, so Zhi should be fine."

"I can't sleep, I'm worried about Zhi."

After putting the child back in Lian Qingmei's arms, Gu Qingzi said warmly, "Zhi didn't drink milk that night because he slept soundly due to a fever. Quickly feed him."

"Alright." Lian Qingmei undressed her clothes and began to feed the children.

Gu Wei was waiting at the door. Seeing that Gu Qingzi had left the room, he pushed open the door and entered, "Qingmei, give me a few of your hairpins. I'm going to bet our house contract back."

Lian Qingmei was feeding the child. Hearing Gu Wei's words, she stopped trying to coax the child, "Gu Wei, do you have a short memory? "You've already done this once, are you going to compensate us for our house, which hasn't even been lived for two days?"

"I feel that my luck is quite good today. The God of Fortune will definitely be here." Gu Wei started to mutter to himself as he started to flip through Lian Qingmei's jewelry.

Lian Qingmei didn't say anything, and the only sound in the room was the sound of Gu Wei turning things over and drinking his milk.

When Gu Wei turned around and prepared to leave, Lian Qingmei trembled in anger, "Gu Wei, from today onwards, if you dare to bet again, we will leave!"

Gu Wei was stunned by Lian Qingmei's words. He held the jewelry and stood on the spot, "Qingmei, I just …"

"I've heard enough of your explanation. Gu Wei, look at what you're betting on now, our family is almost gone. If it wasn't for Third Sister, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a place to live. How did you become an elder brother?" Lian Qingmei felt that if she didn't harden her heart, this family would be dragged down a lot by Gu Wei in the future.

"I'll take the child home with me when you can stop gambling. I'll come back." Lian Qingmei put down Gu Zhi, who had eaten his fill, got off the bed and started packing.

Gu Wei looked at his jewelry with a conflicted expression. He didn't want to gamble … This was almost impossible as he did not stop Lian Qingmei.

Lian Qingmei was even more disappointed with him and left with Gu Zhi.

At this time, Gu Qingzi and Gu Loong were cutting grass. This kind of manual labor should be done by her and her brother. Her father's lumbar region was not good, and bending over for a long time would hurt.

Gu Loong was very fast. After half a day, the two of them were already done with mowing the grass. They walked twice before they finished hugging the grass.

Holding the ladder, Gu Qingzi and Madame Gu supported themselves while Gu Loong worked on it.

When they reached the top of Gu Wei's room, Gu Qingzi called Gu Loong down. He went down the ladder and asked, "Third sister, what's wrong?"

"Not for Second Brother." Gu Qingzi said snappily, "He actually pissed Second Sister-in-Law off and went home. Even Second Brother wasn't home. He probably bet Second Sister-in-Law's jewelry and pissed her off."

Gu Loong frowned, "Then let's not give it to second brother."

Madame Gu nodded and put the ladder back together with Gu Loong, "It's about time to make Gu Wei suffer."

"Qingzi, go back to Lian Family and bring your second sister-in-law back. Second Brother won't take any responsibility. I will deal with her and make Qingmei not worry." Madame Gu instructed.

"I'll be there in a moment." Gu Qingzi agreed.

Later on, Gu Qingzi went to the Lian Family, but didn't bring anyone back.

Madame Gu had no choice but to hold Gu Wei's ear and curse him. She told Gu Wei to go and bring him back.

Gu Wei was stubborn and refused to go.

At night, it began to rain again.

Gu Wei saw the thatch on the other houses and thought that there would be more in his house, but it still leaked. He looked at the roof and found that the hole was the same.

When she went out to carry the remaining straw from the other rooms, Gu Qingzi was already standing there waiting. When she saw Gu Wei coming over, she asked, "Second Brother, why aren't you sleeping tonight? Where are you going?"

"You really have a lot to do." Gu Wei ignored Gu Qingzi completely, going over to Gu Qingzi to carry the straw.

"Hey," Gu Qingzi moved to stop Gu Wei and pretended not to understand. "This is all grass that my brother and I have cut. Second Brother, what are you doing?"

"Did you forget to plant the grass when the water leaked out of my room?" Gu Wei asked in confusion.

"I am the one who won't let you sleep, not forget." Gu Qingzi said with a smile as she stood in front of the straw.

The veins on Gu Wei's forehead popped out, "You want to freeze you to death, Second Brother?"

"Second Brother isn't working, so he's physically strong. This little bit of rain is nothing." Gu Qingzi rolled her eyes, "I know Second Brother, you will come to pick up the straw, so I'm waiting for you here. If you want to take the grass, you have to give me twice the grass."

"Success, move aside." Gu Wei said snappily and pushed Gu Qingzi aside.

"Second Brother keeps his word!" Gu Qingzi did not believe Gu Wei's words at all.

"I will do as I say!" Gu Wei couldn't be looked down upon by his sister, so he still had to show his face.

Gu Qingzi left with a smile, feeling that this was a good start.

Gu Wei slept soundly tonight as the light rain covered him with straw.

Shen Yi sat in the hall and waited for a long time. He looked at the rain, but Gu Qingzi still hadn't arrived. Later, Shen Yi didn't wait anymore. He pushed open the door and saw the thatch on the Gu family's roof.

The next day, during the day, Gu Qingzi knocked on the door of Gu Wei's room, "It's already noon. When does Second Brother plan on cutting the grass?"

"I'll go now." Gu Wei was a man of honor. He couldn't hide, so he had no choice but to go out and mow the grass.

He went to the reeds at the edge of the field and cut it. After a while, Gu Wei sat down on the ground even though he didn't have a single bundle. "Why does this grass look so sturdy?" He was extremely tired after slicing for a while.

Hugging the grass that was not tied up yet, Gu Wei went home. Along the way, he met a few acquaintances and greeted them with a nod.

After returning home, Gu Qingzi looked at the straw in Gu Wei's arms and rolled her eyes, "Second Brother is really pampered. Yesterday, Big Bro and I ran twice to get rid of the straw, but Second Brother cut this little bit. Is this the straw that was given to me by Second Brother twice as much as before?"

Gu Wei suddenly felt ashamed.

Gu Qingzi snorted and snatched the straw from Gu Wei, "Why aren't you eating?"

Gu Wei's heart warmed. He felt that Third Sister still cared about him, so he happily went to eat.

In the village, "Are you for real?"

"How could the things Fourth Brother and I saw with our own eyes be fake? "This Gu Wei has really changed his personality."

"It's not easy to learn well."

"Yeah, but Gu Wei still needs to hone his skills a little more. He just cut a few bundles for the whole morning and that's all. It's like I've cut a few bundles already."

Several people started praising Gu Wei.
