Chapter 225 It’s All Because of You That I’m Like This

"fool!"

Pei Zhen always knew that his eldest son was a failure, otherwise he wouldn't have no expectations of him, but he was still very angry at this moment.

"Dad, I...I really can't."

"Who asked you to cook? I asked you to find a way to get Gu Lan back. If you can't even handle it with a woman, what else can I expect from you?"

Pei Yuanqing felt very aggrieved. He didn't even dare to get close to the Gu family.

The Gu family is really vicious and will beat people up at any time.

He told the truth about the situation, "Dad, let alone seeing Gu Lan, it's hard for me to even get close to the Gu family now. They are really rude, and the most important thing is that I can't beat them."

He was subdued before he could even make a move.

Jiang Tingting lay on the kang, feeling unhappy but also somewhat proud.

Pei Zhen sighed and didn't want to talk any more to this useless son.

In the past, the Gu family seldom gathered together for a reunion because their three sons were away leading troops to war. This time, even the married Gu Yuru and Gu Lan were there, so it was a true reunion.

Although in this remote mountain village, it is rare to find peace and tranquility.

So a lot of New Year's goods were prepared this time, and Mrs. Gu was very thoughtful. People from the village would inevitably come to visit the house for the New Year, so she prepared more to avoid being embarrassed when people came and there were no things to eat.

Old Master Gu looked at the vast expanse of white and sighed softly.

"Master, who are you thinking of?"

Gu Jian smiled, "Madam, you really know me best. The child has been gone for a long time. It's almost New Year's Day, and I don't know where he is."

He was worried about Xie Xun. It would have been better if he had never seen him. But now that he had seen him, he kept him in his heart and loved him as if he were one of his own younger brothers.

But there are some differences. Although the younger generations have suffered some hardships, they have their families by their side. However, Xie Xun has been alone since childhood.

Madam Gu patted his hand gently. "You're thinking about him, but isn't he thinking about you too? Perhaps he's finished his work now and is in a hurry to go back."

"Madam, to tell the truth, I both long for his coming and long for his not coming."

Gu Jian sighed deeply, "He is different from his father. That child is smarter than him, but he also bears more grudges. He will repay kindness and avenge hatred. The Pei family's current situation must be related to him."

Madam Gu nodded slightly. "It's truly heartbreaking to see such a young child burdened with all this. I understand your concerns. If Li Yuan knew his identity, I'm afraid he wouldn't stop."

Gu Jian nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Li Yuan is busy taking care of himself right now, so how could he have the mood to care about Gu's family affairs?

Because the Gu family really couldn't make ends meet. The most serious thing was that the youngest daughter Li Zhaozhao was frail and sickly. Now that Zhao was gone, no one took care of her at all.

Although Zhao didn't take good care of her before, she still cared about her.

Now Sun doesn't care, and Old Lady Li says that she has back and leg pain and can't take care of the child. Li Rong even says how can an unmarried girl like herself take care of a child?

Li Yuan also understood his sister and was worried about leaving his daughter with her. In addition, Li Rong was suffering from a serious illness and had no money to see a doctor, so he was afraid that his daughter would be infected.

Li Fengzhu still had to go to work in the quarry, so Li Fenghua was the only one left at home. However, since she was young, she offered to take care of her younger sister.

But Li Yuan had witnessed how she almost abandoned Mumu in the mountains, so he was still worried about the child.

There was no other way, Li Yuan could only watch it by himself. Poor him, he had to drag his broken leg that had not yet healed, and hold a child who was defecating and peeing all day long. The handsome general before was now as busy as a country man.

But he is not as healthy as other country men, so he has nothing to worry about.

The people in Qingshui Village live a relatively good life. Even if they can't have big fish and meat every meal, they can still buy some during the New Year.

The Li family was extremely envious when they saw the villagers going to the town and bringing back large and small bags of things.

Especially after the Shi family moved in, they often spoke ill of the Gu family in front of the Li family because they were jealous of the Gu family.

But even if it was bad words, it let Li Yuan know how well the Gu family was living now.

It is said that after the Shi family came to Qingshui Village, because there were no extra houses in Qingshui Village and they were driven out, the village chief also disliked them very much, so he directly stuffed them into the Li family.

The Li family naturally disagreed, but they couldn't persuade the village chief. The Shi family was afraid of missing this place, so they wanted to sleep outside and refused to leave.

Now two families live in one yard, and the already crowded yard is even more crowded.

Because the two families shared the same kitchen, they often fought over this and that. One said there was not enough oil, the other said there was not enough rice. They fought eight times in three days.

When Shi Zecheng went to the toilet in the middle of the night, he ran into Old Lady Li inside. His pants were unbuttoned and Old Lady Li saw everything. The two families had a quarrel over this matter.

Both of them decided that the other had taken advantage of them, especially Shi Zecheng, who thought that if he had not believed Li Yuan's words from the beginning and if his family had not become so hostile to the Gu family, life might have been different.

Maybe his daughter has married the third son of the Gu family. Now he is a relative of the Gu family. How can he not get some benefits?

He didn't think about the fact that he was the one who took the initiative to get close to him in the first place. Now he just blamed the responsibility on Li Yuandi, calling him a waste and saying a lot of nasty things.

He also said that he became a general thanks to the Gu family.

Li Yuan had a strong sense of self-esteem and couldn't stand it, so he beat him up in the middle of the night.

After all, Li Yuan was a soldier. Even though he had a lame leg, he could easily defeat the Shi family father and son even if they joined forces.

But he was also injured.

The two families quarreled until midnight. The people in the village heard it but didn't care. They just wanted them to fight so that they could watch the fun.

Finally lying on the cold kang, Li Yuan couldn't fall asleep at all.

He also began to realize that something might have gone wrong with Concubine Rong.

It has been so long, it is impossible for Concubine Rong not to know the news.

In addition, the attitude of Rong Fei's son also made him feel uneasy.

Wouldn't he become an abandoned pawn?

But what he couldn't figure out was, what did he do wrong?

It's obvious that he has been doing his best to serve Concubine Rong?

At this time, Li Zhaozhao was crying heart-wrenchingly because he was hungry, unwell, and cold.

Li Yuan originally wanted to be a kind father. After all, this child was born as he expected, but unfortunately he had no mother. But at this moment, he was upset and felt that this child was very annoying.

"Why are you crying? You just know how to cry. It's just like what your grandma said, you're a jinx. Ever since you were born, there's never been a single worry at home. And you still have the nerve to cry? It's all because of you that I've ended up like this."

However, Li Zhaozhao was frightened by him and cried even harder.
