Chapter 431 432. Bad Conscience

Gu Datian had been holding this grudge all the way. He had been holding it in because he didn't want to be laughed at by his fellow travelers. Now that they were the only ones in the inn, it was a good opportunity to have a good talk.

"Your two older uncles would put down their housework during the busy farming season and come to work with you.

When you have difficulties with matters big or small at home, don’t you always turn to others for help?

Normally you should go there in person today and take the initiative to visit him.

Now that you have received such bad news, it would be fine if you were not sad, but you are actually spewing bad words. When did your character become so bad?"

Members of the Gu family: “…” In fact, he has never had an easy life.

"I just said it casually," Gu Dashi changed his words when he saw so many disapproving looks.

"Shunzui? I think you have a bad conscience. With your character, I will have a good talk with the clan when I go back. We can't just indulge you just because you are the biological father of the seventh brother." In Gu Datian's opinion, Shunzui could not say such vicious words.

"The Li family has never treated you unfairly since you came in, but what have you done in the past few years? Don't you have any idea about it?

Now that his brother has passed away, instead of thinking of going to his house to pay his condolences, you are still here making sarcastic remarks.

I see you have rested well in the inn today, finish your meal quickly and go to Lijia Village to guard it immediately."

After saying that, he was still worried that Gu Dashi might cause trouble there, so he said to Luo Gang, "You guys should accompany him throughout the whole process. If he does anything inappropriate or says anything inappropriate again, you should write it down one by one.

When we get back to Fu County, we'll have a good talk with him using the clan rules."

When Gu Dashi thought of his youngest son who was expelled from Zhuli, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

He didn't dare to say anything else. If he really dared to make trouble with his uncle, that crazy woman Li Cuicui would definitely punish him a hundred or a thousand times when he returned.

Thinking of the silver he had spent on the way here, he touched the last few copper coins in his purse and actually stretched out his hand to Gu Yi, "Nephew, I have run out of silver. I won't be able to give gifts when I get over there. How about you give some first?"

Gu Yi, "I can lend it to uncle first. I don't know how much gift uncle is prepared to give. I will give it to Luo Gang later."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Dashi's face changed.

How could Gu Datian and the others not know what Gu Dashi was thinking? They gave the money as soon as they opened their mouths, treating the silver in Gu Yi's hands as if it were their own.

The fact that Gu Yi used the word "borrow" and did not let the money pass through his hands already made his attitude clear.

"Hurry up and pack up. You don't have to worry about what's happening here these days. We'll wait for a good day and notify you then." Gu Datian didn't even give Gu Dashi a chance to speak and just drove him away.

As Gu Dashi walked along, he knew that these tribesmen did not take him seriously at all. Although he was angry, he could do nothing about them. It was because of his unfilial sons that they never stood on his side when things happened.

Jin Qianqian packed her bags, said goodbye to a few acquaintances, and finally returned to Fu County before the snow started.

Sitting in the familiar courtyard, Jin Qianqian felt more relaxed than ever before. This was the place she had built with every tree and blade of grass, and every corner of it was to her liking.

"Madam, the wife of the county magistrate and the ladies of other families have all sent visiting cards. When do you think we should arrange a date to invite them to your house?" Liu Qingmei walked in with a thick stack of visiting cards and said.

Jin Qianqian, "Let's schedule it for the day after tomorrow. Let's go back to Gaoling Village tomorrow."

This return was a bit sudden, and it is estimated that his family has not received the news yet. However, their entry into the city today was so grand, the Gu family who delivered goods to the city every day might have received the news by now.

Her guess was absolutely correct. Now all the Gu family members of Gaoling Village have gathered around Li Cuicui.

"Why did my seventh brother's wife come back so suddenly? Mother, didn't you hear her mention her before when you were in Beijing?" Gu Yuanjin asked worriedly. It has only been such a short time since they last met. Could something have happened?

Li Cuicui was also worried, "I didn't hear anything there before, except for some insignificant rumors, there was nothing unusual.

It's getting late now, and the city gates are probably closed. Tomorrow morning, can you send someone to check what's going on?"

Wang Caiyue covered her mouth, "Did Seventh Brother and the others offend someone they shouldn't have offended? I've heard that officials who go to the capital are most likely to be demoted.

The seventh brother is a farmer's son and no one takes him seriously. To deal with him is just a matter of raising one's hand.

Oh, and what about Lian Zui? We won't be implicated by him, right?"

Li Cuicui slapped him directly, "You really need to clean your mouth. If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak."

Seeing that the faces of the daughters-in-law all changed, Li Cuicui gritted her teeth and said, "If you are afraid, I will go to Mr. Zhou and give each of you a letter of divorce, so that you don't have to nitpick here."

Xie Ruyi quickly supported Li Cuicui, "Mom, we didn't mean that. Besides, we haven't found out the reason yet, and we are just getting anxious here.

I will have my servants guard the city gate in a moment, and when the gate is opened tomorrow morning, I will have them go and ask, so don't worry and get angry."

Liu Liu gritted her teeth and supported her other arm. "Maybe my sister-in-law came back temporarily because of something in the workshop. Let's not make random guesses here and scare ourselves."

When I said this, I was not only convincing others, but also constantly convincing myself in my heart.

Wang Caiyue was slapped in front of so many people and felt extremely wronged. "You guys are just deceiving yourselves here. Do you really think it's easy to be an official in Beijing?

During the time we were in Beijing, we often heard that officials were demoted. Even the prime minister was demoted to a minor official at the city gate.

I'm just reminding you with good intentions to be mentally prepared, but I didn't expect you to still be daydreaming here. You'll cry when the time comes."

Gu Yuanmu pulled the man out of the door and said, "Since you can't speak, just go home and stay at home. Is it fun to mess around here all day?"

"You wimp, who am I doing this for?"

Gu Yuanmu, "You are doing this for your own sake. You are only thinking about what will happen to your seventh brother and his family. You don't think your eldest son is still in Beijing. If something happens to your seventh brother and his family, do you think your son will be able to get away with it?

But what about you? Have you ever thought about him? "

Wang Caiyue, "…I didn't ask him to go. He was obsessed with the orphan girl from the Xu family and had forgotten about us as his parents. Why should I worry about him?"

Gu Yuanmu stared at her for a long time and said, "You woman have no heart at all, get out∽∽".
