After everyone finished eating, Mr. Gu instructed Mrs. Lv to take the two daughters-in-law and clean up the dishes, to wash them later. He had something important to announce, and everyone needed to be present because it was a major issue for the Gu Family.
Everyone in the Gu Family was quite surprised. Could there be some big news? Gu Chengyi thought it must be about selling honeysuckle in the county. The idea made his blood boil because it could determine whether the third brother would have to perform corvée labor. If they could sell the honeysuckle for money, they'd be able to gather the tax, and the third brother wouldn't have to do the labor, sparing him the guilt. If they couldn't gather it... he didn't know what he would do, but he knew he couldn't go since he had two sons.
