Chapter 50 The Gu Family Was Smashed Again

All I can say is that the Hu family and the Gu family, worthy of being neighbors for twenty or thirty years, can grasp the situation accurately with just one move.

For a family with a good reputation, even if they don’t have relatives to help, their friends and neighbors will definitely come to lend a hand.

If Gu Zhenhua was at home and outsiders dared to cause trouble, he could call many brothers over with just a shout.

As for Gu Fugen and his wife, they are not popular because they have offended all the neighbors in the yard.

Whenever someone in the courtyard had a good meal, Gu Fugen would go and get a bite, and he would point fingers at other powerful women, saying that they were not taught well. Gu Chouni would borrow a bowl of rice from someone, but would only return half of it, and it would take a long time for her to pay back the money she borrowed.

Besides, other people borrow money to buy jobs, get married or do serious things, but Gu Chouni's reason for borrowing money was: her husband wanted to eat malted milk, her husband wanted to wear new clothes...

Who would work hard to earn money for others to enjoy?

After people they knew lent money to the Gu family a few times, no one wanted to bother with them anymore.

So this time when the Gu family's house was smashed, Gu Chouni wanted to borrow money from others to repair things at home, but no one was willing to lend her money.

"Just borrow 20 yuan for emergency use and pay it back next month when you get your salary."

The person being asked didn't even bother to make an excuse and simply replied, "I don't have the money. I won't lend it to you. Find someone else."

Gu Chouni went out for a walk and came back without borrowing a penny.

"You useless thing. You can't even borrow this little money. Our Gu family has raised you for nothing." Gu Fugen was furious and cursed: "Your house is so dilapidated, why don't you hire someone to fix it? Are you going to fix it yourself?"

Gu Chouni didn't dare to speak, she just found a hammer and silently knocked on the bed legs.

"You can repair wood, can you repair something that has electricity? Can you repair my electric fan and radio for me?" Gu Fugen continued to ask.

After hearing this, Gu Chouni went to get a screwdriver and tried to dismantle the fan. After she had dismantled the fan, she concluded, "I'm a little stupid and can't fix this."

"If you know you can't do it, then don't do it. The more you fix things, the worse they get." Gu Fugen stomped his feet in anger and slapped Gu Chouni's arm a few times.

"Ouch~ Stop hitting me. My arm is injured. That bitch Hu Meili was really ruthless just now."

"Just like Hu Shuangxi didn't hit me hard. I'm still in pain all over now."

Xu Xiaodong fell into deep thought as she listened to the conversation between her parents-in-law.

Her parents' home was far away, in the countryside, and it took two or three hours to walk here. She couldn't often trouble her parents' family, and she wanted to do the same as Lin Xiangnan, to give the Gu family a good beating at once, so that they would remember it.

She is not from this street, and the lady from the street office and the police officer from the police station may not give her face, so when she beats someone, she cannot use heavy hands and can only smash things.

Since she wanted to make the Gu family heartbroken, Xu Xiaodong planned to wait for a while until the Gu family had put their house in order before letting them come and smash the house.

But now looking at the situation at home, Xu Xiaodong also feels a little sorry for the money.

A broken house is worth a fortune. If you want to redecorate it, it will cost at least two months' salary. If you buy new furniture such as electric fans and kettles, it will cost even more.

The family's finances were tight, and Xu Xiaodong herself and her two daughters would go hungry.

In this case, she might as well have someone smash the junk directly. Although the deterrent effect would be a little weaker, it would save the family the trouble of buying new ones.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaodong couldn't help but sigh. After all, she was a good daughter-in-law who took her in-laws' family into consideration.

Since he had made up his mind, Xu Xiaodong began to look for trouble.

Seeing Gu Chouni repairing the bed, Xu Xiaodong smiled and hurried over to help.

As he hammered it down, the hammer accidentally slipped out of his hand and hit Gu Fugen's favorite radio, breaking the already damaged radio into two pieces.

"You useless stupid bastard, who told you to hit the hammer like that? Sooner or later I will divorce you, such an idiot." Gu Chouni's curse rang out instantly.

"I didn't mean it. I've already given birth to two children for the Gu family, and you still want to drive me away, mom." Xu Xiaodong begged loudly, and then threatened deliberately in a wronged manner: "It's not like I don't have my parents' support. If you say that, aren't you afraid that my family will be like the Hu family and come to reason with you?"

Gu Chouni sneered, "If you have the guts, ask your parents to come. You are just a bunch of country folk, and you want to bully me? You are just dreaming."

Gu Chouni had a loud voice and did not hesitate to laugh at Xu Xiaodong, so everyone in the yard heard it.

Although some people don't like Gu Chouni, they are mothers-in-law after all, and they can't help but say: "Gu Chouni, shut up. How can you talk about your child like that? When Xu Jiazhen comes, you will regret it."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been living together for so many years, and Xu Xiaodong has never resisted. Gu Chouni responded domineeringly: "She dares!"

"Why not? Don't you see what kind of person your man is?"

Xu Xiaodong has only been married to the Gu family for a few years. She married from the countryside to the city, which was a high-class marriage for her, so she has always been cautious. The men in the Gu family are cowardly and have never fought with others. They only know how to scold the women in the family, so Xu Xiaodong has never known the details of the family.

Now she understood that the Gu family was not a tiger at all, but just a bluffing cat.

Now that he has seen the truth, Xu Xiaodong is not going to endure it.

They were also in-laws, so why didn't Gu Chouni dare to offend the Hu family, but scolded her vigorously? Her family was not a family that could not handle things in the brigade.

So when Sunday came, the Gu family welcomed another lively occasion.

The broken pieces of the house that had not yet been repaired were completely shattered.

Lin Xiangxi was originally playing outside. When he heard that Gu's house had been smashed again, he rode his bike as fast as he could and hurried home to inform Lin Xiangnan and Hu Meili.

"The Gu family is fighting again."

When Hu Meili heard this, she immediately threw the clothes she was washing into the basin, dried her hands, and stood up, "Let's go and watch the fun."

Lin Xiangnan was bored, and when he heard Lin Xiangxi's words, he hurried downstairs and prepared to go to the scene to eat melons.

Lin Xiangnan was the strongest person in the family, so she took the bicycle on her own initiative. Hu Meili sat on the back, and Lin Xiangxi sat on the horizontal bar in the front, and they went to Gu's house with the overloaded bicycle.

When they arrived, the Gu family was bustling with activity.

Lin Xiangnan took out a handful of melon seeds and milk candies from his pocket and shared them with Hu Meili and Lin Xiangxi. Then he started eating melon seeds while watching the fun.

"You brought melon seeds here to watch the fun. Why don't you bring a watermelon?" Hu Meili nagged as she took the melon seeds and commented as she watched, "Kacha~kacha~ This Gu Chouni is actually quite good at fighting, but her man is too useless. Pah~, she can't beat four people with her own two fists, kacha~kacha~"

Hu Meili had an acquaintance in this courtyard. When the acquaintance saw Hu Meili, he called her to his door and handed her two small stools. "Come, sit here and watch. This is a good place."

The seat was indeed quite good. Lin Xiangnan just sat down, cracked two melon seeds, turned around and looked into Gu Chouni's eyes.

Lin Xiangnan blinked his eyes, and with a "Puh", he spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth.
