"You guys drink first, there are still some dishes cooking." The second sister said as she put the stewed vegetables on the table.

There are already several dishes on the table.

"Tell Hongli not to do it anymore, these dishes are enough." Second brother-in-law Wei Dong said to second sister Gu Yue.

"Okay, you guys drink first." Gu Yue responded casually, turned around and went to the kitchen again.

Wei Zihan hurriedly followed, willing to leave even for a moment.

"Let's drink ours." Gu Tao said.

When the eldest brother-in-law heard this, he immediately took out the wine he had brought.

"The next time someone comes, it will be fine. It's not easy for you to earn some money, so don't waste it." Gu Tao looked at the wine in the hands of his elder brother-in-law Yang Lei.

The wine is not expensive, the price is about 70 yuan, but how many pancakes does the eldest sister have to sell to earn back the 70 yuan.

"You can't come here empty-handed, right? You're not living well, so you'd better save some money and buy a bigger house." Second brother-in-law Wei Dong said.

The house that Gu Tao lives in now has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, it is very cramped.

And this house is not his, it was allocated to him by the research institute, but it only has the right of residence.

"How can I afford the house price now." Gu Tao sighed.

Of course he wanted a house of his own, but coming out of the countryside and working hard on his own, it was so difficult to get a house.

He is already considered lucky to be able to marry a wife.

"You are a public servant, and the house loan is easy. I discussed it with your elder sister. If you buy a house with a down payment, we can give you some, although it is not much..." The elder brother-in-law said while pouring wine for everyone.

"Yes, we can take out some, but it's not too much." The second brother-in-law Wei Dong also said aside.

"Thank you, let me respect the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law." Gu Tao raised his glass and said gratefully.

"We are all a family, why are you being so polite?" said the eldest brother-in-law.

But he still had a drink with Gu Tao with Wei Dong.

Gu Tao drank the cup in one gulp, his face turned red instantly.

"Eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, I accept your wishes, but I can't take the money, and your life is not easy." Gu Tao said.

"But..." Second brother-in-law Wei Dong just wanted to speak.

Gu Tao waved his hand.

"Hongli and I also have some savings over the years. Although it's not much, we still have a provident fund. Taking it out should be enough for the down payment." Gu Tao said.

"The dishes are here." Chen Hongli came out of the kitchen with the dishes.

"Hongli, don't be so busy, let's all sit down and eat." The eldest brother-in-law Yang Lei greeted.

"There is still a soup, it's gone, it will be ready soon." Chen Hongli said.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Hey, who is it at this time?" Chen Hongli was a little puzzled when she heard the words.

"I'll do it." Gu Tao stood up.

"Who is it?" Gu Tao asked casually, but the door had already been opened.

then……

He was stunned.

"Mom...Mom..." Gu Tao shuddered and cried out in disbelief.

"Xiao Tao, Mom didn't scare you, did she?" Huang Lancao asked worriedly.

"Who is it?" Chen Hongli, who brought another dish from the kitchen, passed by the door and asked curiously.

He casually turned his head to look at the door.

When she saw Huang Lancao standing at the door, the plate in her hand fell directly to the ground, and it fell to pieces with a thud, and the vegetables were scattered all over the floor.

"what happened?"

The eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, eldest sister, and second sister all ran over when they heard the sound, and even Wei Zihan ran out curiously.

Then they all stared blankly at the yellow orchid grass at the door.

It was eerily quiet for a while.

Only Wei Zihan gnawed on the chicken leg, making a clicking sound with his small mouth.

"Mom?" Eldest sister Gu Fang was the first to react, and called out tentatively.

Gu Yue came to her senses when she heard the sound, and hid her son Wei Zihan behind her back.

"Hongli, Daya, Erya...you are all here, did I scare you?" Huang Lancao asked nervously.

Before everyone spoke, Gu Tao immediately said, "No."

"I'm cunning, aren't you afraid of me?" Huang Lancao asked.

"You are my mother." Gu Tao said firmly.

Then reached out to pull Huang Lancao's hand: "Mom, come in and sit down."

But when I stretched my hand halfway, I realized that Huang Lancao was holding a cane in one hand and a lantern in the other.

"Mom won't go in, it will disturb you." Huang Lancao hesitated.

"You are my mother, how can I let you stay outside." Gu Tao reached out and grabbed her wrist, and forced her into the room.

"Gu Tao." Chen Hongli called out from behind.

Gu Tao turned around and said to her: "This is my mother, she will not harm me."

Then he said to Huang Lancao: "Mom, are you hungry? We are eating, you can eat with us."

As he said that, he pulled the yellow orchid grass and walked in, and everyone couldn't help but move their bodies back, get out of the way, and dare not move forward.

Gu Tao pulled Huang Lancao and forced her to sit down on the chair.

Then he looked at himself holding the hand on Huang Lancao's wrist with some doubts.

This kind of warm touch doesn't seem strange.

"Don't be afraid, I can still harm you." Huang Lancao said to the people standing aside.

"Mom." Gu Fang yelled, and walked over directly. She is not young anymore, and she sees many things very openly.

Seeing the elder sister walking over, Gu Yue thought for a while, and handed over the son behind her to her husband, then walked up and called "Mom".

"Okay, okay, you all happen to be here today, I am so lucky to see you together." Huang Lancao smiled happily.

Then she looked at Wei Zihan behind her second son-in-law Wei Dong.

"Little Treasure is already this big?"

"Mom, why... why... are you back?" Gu Yue hurriedly interrupted Huang Lancao's gaze, and changed the subject.

Huang Lancao glanced at Gu Yue and said with a smile: "My wish has not been fulfilled, Lord God Immortal gave me a chance to fulfill my wish, and then return to the Underworld..."

"Wish unfulfilled? Mom, what unfulfilled wish do you have? Also, who is a god?" Gu Tao asked doubtfully.

Everyone was even more curious about listening.

Chapter 404

"Master Immortal is the god who helps the dead who have not fulfilled their wishes to fulfill their wishes, and then sends them back to the Underworld, that is, guides you." Huang Lancao explained.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the words. It turns out that there are really gods in this world.

"And the reason why you can see me is because the guide borrowed my soul-inducing lamp. When the lamp is on, it is a person, and when the lamp is off, it is a trick, so you can see me and touch me..."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the red lantern that Huang Lancao placed on the table next to him.

No wonder she kept carrying a red lantern, everyone thought it was strange before.

Gu Fang heard the words at the side, and quietly put her hand on the back of Huang Lancao's hand.

But Huang Lancao grabbed her backhand.

"Big ya, it's really hard work to set up a stall every day. It's sunny and windy..." Huang Lancao said, groping for the back of her hand.

When Gu Fang heard this, her nose was sore, but she said in her mouth: "Mom, it's not hard."

"My mother didn't understand these things before, but after I die, I just want to see you guys. I can see all your hard work, alas... will you all get better?" Huang Lancao said with a sad expression.

She has been living in the countryside, thinking that having a mouthful of food is happiness, and there is no such thing as a difficult life.

But after he died, he came to the city and followed a few children, and gradually realized that he really had a hard time.

"Mom, don't talk about these things, life will definitely get better. If you have any unfulfilled wish, just tell me, and I will definitely help you fulfill it." Gu Tao said with red eyes.

"Actually, Mom told you before, asking you to go to the Temple of Sending Your Child off at Lin Daokou to beg for sending off your wife, but you just didn't listen and didn't believe what I said..."

"Mom, how can there be..." Gu Tao subconsciously wanted to say, this is all superstition, there is no such thing as a god.

But he opened his mouth and got stuck in his throat. The facts speak louder than words.

If there is no trick, no god, how could the mother who has been dead for almost a year appear in front of them?

"Okay, I'll ask for leave tomorrow to pay my respects to the mother-in-law." Gu Tao turned to look at his wife.

His wife nodded silently to him.

Regardless of whether the mother-in-law is spiritual or not, this is the wish of the old lady, and they will definitely go there.

"That's good, Xiaotao is really obedient." Huang Lancao said happily upon hearing this.

"mom."

Gu Tao looked a little excited when he heard the words, Huang Lancao liked to talk to him in this tone when he was a child.

When I grew up, I never heard of it again.

Huang Lancao looked around everyone's faces, and finally fell on the two daughters standing beside her, opened her mouth, and finally sighed helplessly.

Turning her head to Gu Tao, she said, "Xiao Tao, Mom asked the Immortal, and the Immortal said that what you did was justifiable, and that you should do more good deeds, so don't take it personally."

Gu Fang and Gu Yue were at a loss when they heard the words, not knowing what Huang Lancao was talking about.

Only Gu Tao understood the meaning of Huanglancao.

It was as if the thorn in my heart had been pulled out, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

"Mom, don't worry, I will do more good deeds in the future."

"Okay, okay, so Mom can rest assured." Huang Lancao was very happy when she heard that.

This incident was a thorn in Gu Tao's heart, so why not a thorn in her heart.

Of course it's not because Gu Shan is her husband, but because her son is a murderer.

She worried that the incident would ruin her son.

Now I heard the gods say, as long as you do more good deeds, can the gods make mistakes?

So she also felt very relaxed.

As for the possibility of seeing Gu Shan after death, she no longer cared about it.

After so many years, the shadow that Gu Shan brought to her has long since faded away.

Sometimes I even think, if he is still alive, he must be beaten severely, why should I be afraid of him?

"Hongli..." Huang Lancao waved to Chen Hongli.

"Mom." Chen Hongli hesitated for a moment before walking forward.

"Xiao Tao will trouble you in the future." Huang Lancao said.

"Mom, he is my husband, so don't bother me if there is any trouble." Chen Hongli said.

"well……"

Huang Lancao called Yang Lei and Wei Dong forward again, and gave them a few words of advice.

Finally, he said to Wei Zihan who had been staring at her curiously: "Xiaobao, come to grandma and let grandma take a good look."

Gu Yue lightly patted Wei Zihan's immature back, "Call me grandma."
