Chapter 22 It’s so cool

The next day, Gu Siqing was awakened by the loud knocks on the door and her grandmother Wu Dani's loud voice.

"Jianguo, Jianguo, it's already this late and your family still hasn't gotten up? Hurry up, your brother is about to be beaten to death."

Then came Dad's voice, "What's the matter? We harvested peanuts all day yesterday, so let's take a break today."

"Jiancheng was beaten by the Zhang family again. Go and take a look."

Gu Siqing heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and rolled over on the bed, almost pushing Gu Sanjing under the bed, but even so she was still snoring in her sleep.

"Second Aunt and Second Uncle are arguing again." Gu Yimin stood up and put on her clothes, saying, "I don't know what they're arguing about every day."

"I just can't stand seeing others doing better than me." Gu Siqing muttered.

Second Aunt felt that since both of them were daughters-in-law married into the Gu family and had the same starting point, she gave birth to a son while her mother gave birth to four girls. Her mother should live a worse life than her and should be scolded or even beaten by her father every day.

But the opposite happened. Dad was very kind to Mom, and they always discussed things with each other and rarely had a quarrel. But she herself was in turmoil, and her second uncle even hit her many times.

This contrast made Zhang Chuntao extremely unbalanced. Over time, she would feel uncomfortable whenever something good happened in her family.

In her previous life, she had always been puzzled. Their family had no grudges against Second Aunt, so why did she have such a strong hatred for their family?

It was not until one day when Dong Jianan analyzed with her the psychological activities of people who loved to compare themselves that she realized that her second aunt was jealous of their family because of extreme imbalance.

So jealous!

In fact, everyone has this kind of mentality, but some people can control it well, while some people cannot control it, or do not want to control it, which ultimately makes human nature more and more distorted.

The eldest and second sisters were already up, and Gu Siqing stretched and got dressed. She had been craving boiled peanuts since yesterday, and she had to have them today.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Gu Sanjing was still asleep. Gu Siqing didn't call her. Sanjing was the real child. Children have pure thoughts and sleep soundly.

After leaving the house, she turned to look at her second uncle's yard. It was empty, save for Gu Xuebin, who was squatting on the ground playing in the mud. Born in such a family, Gu Xuebin was actually quite pitiful, but she didn't feel sorry for him at all.

She rarely hates people, but Gu Xuebin from her previous life became the only person she hated.

Now that Gu Xuebin was still a child, she didn't bother with him. But if he continued to cause trouble in their house with that ridiculous excuse like he did in his previous life, then don't blame her for being rude.

Although I don’t have the golden finger for rebirth, I was able to deal with you in my previous life, and I can do it in this life as well.

Gu Jianguo sat in the main hall of Gu Jiancheng's house, listening to the Zhang family's accusations and insults against Gu Jiancheng, saying that he was lazy, addicted to gambling, irresponsible, beat his wife, etc. Gu Jiancheng was said to be a good-for-nothing.

After the Zhang family had finished speaking, he said, "If that's the case, then don't live like this anymore. We're all in our thirties, not children anymore. It's unbearable for anyone to live like this, if you keep making a fuss and fighting at the slightest provocation."

The Zhang family didn't expect Gu Jianguo to say something he couldn't agree on. The same thing happened to Gu Jiancheng and Wu Dani. The Zhang family came to vent Zhang Chuntao's anger and support her, but they never thought of asking her to divorce Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng had Wu Dani call Gu Jianguo over to block the Zhang family from getting into trouble again. He hadn't considered divorce. Even though he sometimes thought about sleeping with the young widow from the neighboring village, he hadn't considered divorcing Zhang Chuntao. After all, someone still had to take care of the household.

However, since Gu Jianguo has already said it, he has to be tougher and use this opportunity to suppress Zhang Chuntao's arrogance.

At that moment, Zhang Chuntao stood up and said, "Gu Jianguo, what do you mean? They say we should reconcile, not separate. As the eldest uncle, instead of telling us to live a good life, you're actually asking us to divorce. What's your intention? I think you're just jealous because your Yimin's engagement was broken off by the Deng family, and Deng Zhiming is getting engaged to our Shuangping."

When Gu Jianguo heard her talking about Gu Yimin's marriage, he stood up and looked at her coldly and said, "Go to the Deng family and ask if I returned the betrothal gift they gave me. It was our Yimin who broke off the engagement with Deng Zhiming. Remember what I said today. If I hear you say something wrong again in the future..."

He didn't say any threats, but his eyes were like knives staring at Zhang Chuntao, frightening her so much that she dared not breathe. She had never felt that this uncle was so scary.

"If you can get by, get by. If you can't, don't get by," Gu Jianguo said to Gu Jiancheng, "You already have two sons. What are you afraid of?"

After he left, Gu Jiancheng suddenly felt clear-headed. "Yes, I have two sons, and someone to take care of me in my old age. What am I afraid of? Even if I get divorced, without Zhang Chuntao causing trouble every day, my life will be much better."

Brother! This is truly my brother!

When the Zhang family saw Gu Jiancheng listening to Gu Jianguo's words, their eyebrows flew up. Is this really going to get a divorce? No way! Their purpose is not to get a divorce, but to support him. But why is this back even softer?

The Zhang family members looked at each other, their eyes flashing for a while, and then Ge Fenglian said, "When a family lives together, how can there not be some bumps and bruises? Just make it clear."

Seeing the Zhang family relent, Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed, but a hint of anger lingered on his face. "You're her family, so be fair. We're farmers, so how can we not work in the fields during the autumn harvest? I told her yesterday to get up early to pick peanuts, but she actually disagreed. Shuangping, you're not even engaged to the Deng family yet, yet you're working for them picking peanuts, and she's cursing me for working for her own family. What man could stand that?"

After saying these words, Gu Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, really great! It feels so good to be a real man!"

He was so happy here, but the Zhang family members looked unhappy. Especially Zhang Shuangping, whose face was dark red. If she had a crescent moon on her forehead, she would probably be a judge.

"His uncle, the matter between Shuangping and Zhiming is a done deal. It's just that we are busy with the autumn harvest now, so we didn't go to the ceremony to pay our respects." Ge Fenglian hurriedly tried to make amends for her daughter, but they knew the real situation best.

Gu Jiancheng decided to quit while he was ahead. "I also want to live a good life with her. As long as she works harder and does what she should do, I don't want to get divorced."

The Zhang family no longer had the heart to support Zhang Chuntao. After saying a few words to her, they hurried home and quickly asked the Deng family to propose marriage and finalize the marriage between Zhang Shuangping and Deng Zhiming.

But if they knew Murphy's Law, they wouldn't be so blindly optimistic.
