If he hadn't been too cowardly, he would have gone with the second son.
Gu Changbai went to check the place where the eggs and rice were hidden, and his face darkened even more.
"I remember when we divided the family property, there was still some rice and wheat flour. What happened to the refined grains? Where did they all go?"
Cao Ying tried to speak up in defense, but Gu Changbai said coldly, "We haven't eaten any fine grains during this time. Don't tell me you gave them to the child; you wouldn't bear to give them to the child."
Cao Ying shut her mouth, not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Gu Changbai became even angrier: "Did you eat it secretly, or did you take it back to your parents' house? Speak up!"
Gu Changbai saw that she had shut her mouth and turned away, yet she still dared to be angry with him.
He walked over and gave it a good pull, a bit too hard, and Cao Ying's clothes ripped with a sound.
An opening appeared.
"You...you're going to hit me?" Cao Ying could hardly believe her eyes. "You said you would never lay a hand on me after we got married!"
"I, I didn't!" Gu Changbai was almost stunned by Cao Ying's tone, but then he retorted loudly, "I didn't intend to do anything. I'm just asking you, don't change the subject, where are the money and grain?"
"You... never mind. From now on, I'll manage all the money and food in this household. If you want to help your family, you can go pick mushrooms in the mountains and sell them at the supply and marketing cooperative. Otherwise, you'd better save your money!"
After Gu Changbai finished speaking, he took the child and went out.
Just now at home, when the child heard it was his maternal grandfather's family, he immediately hid in his room.
Clearly, Cao's family is no good.
Outside, Gu Yunyang also heard some of what was happening inside.
Gu Yunyang does not support hitting people.
But the matter still needs to be resolved.
The way a couple gets along also depends on Gu Changbai himself.
When honest people are oppressed too much, their rebellion can be quite frightening.
Fortunately, Gu Changbai did not take any further action.
Gu Yunyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
We must hope that no one like Ma Moujue emerges, for harming others ultimately harms oneself.
Dealing with bad guys requires some methods; we can't act blindly.
Gu Hanping glanced at the door to the room over there, shook his head, and turned to Gu Yunyang, saying, "Let's go outside and talk."
Some things are really hard to talk about at home.
Gu Yunyang nodded, and the two of them came out one after the other.
For a long time, neither of them spoke, until they reached the foot of the mountain.
Gu Yunyang spoke up, "Is there something fishy about Gu Changbai and Cao Ying's marriage?"
Seeing Gu Hanping's puzzled yet seemingly knowing expression, Gu Yunyang explained, "I overheard the Cao family's strange looks when they heard about the marriage. Is it possible that Cao Ying's drowning incident was actually staged?"
Although Gu Hanping didn't understand the term "self-directed and self-acted".
But he understood the meaning.
After a long pause, Gu Hanping sighed, "Actually, my wife and I both had that thought back then. But no one saw it except the Cao family, and rumors were spreading throughout the brigade and commune."
In addition, Changbai has also persisted.
He was of marriageable age at the time, and if he didn't marry Cao Ying this time, matchmakers probably wouldn't dare to come knocking on his door again.
So in the end, his mother and I were forced to agree. The bride price was two hundred yuan, plus furniture, a bag of grain, and other things, much of which were brought back by the second son.
Gu Hanping said helplessly, "If I had known that married life would be like this, I would never have agreed. Even if it meant he would remain a bachelor, I would not have agreed."
Gu Yunyang guessed that if they could hold out, the other side would really be helpless.
But Cao Ying and her family are no good people. They will definitely repeat the same things over and over, like faking hanging, faking jumping into the river, and trying to kill themselves.
Gu Changbai is an honest man, and he will most likely give in in the end.
Cao Ying was sold for a high price, and she's receiving a continuous influx of funds.
Now that Gu Changbai has awakened, it's unclear how long this will last.
"The captain will be in trouble from now on; we'll have to keep a close eye on him."
"I know, what I really wanted to ask about was that barley malt."
