Chapter 289 Extremely Disappointed
The main reason is that the suit Lin Yunxi picked is not particularly formal, otherwise it would look out of place for someone like my father-in-law who has never worn a suit or leather shoes in his life.
"It looks really good." Mother Gu helped him adjust his collar and praised him, "Let's wear it like this on the day we leave."
"good."
Until going to bed at night, Father Gu was reluctant to take off his watch. He gently stroked it with his rough and dry hands that had been working for a lifetime.
Gu's mother saw it but said nothing. After all, when she received the gold jewelry and jade, they were also so precious.
At dawn the next day, Gu's father called several young men from the same clan and came to Liujia Village in a threatening manner to demand an explanation.
The Liu family knew they were in the wrong, and they were like cowards, not daring to come out, allowing the Gu family to scold and curse them.
Finally, all the villagers from Liujia Village came to watch the fun. Only then did Liu's father tremble as he opened the door and invited the in-laws in to discuss a solution.
Gu's mother came up and directly asked the Liu family to return the original betrothal money, compensation for the loss of her son's youth over the years, and the money that Liu Qiaoqiao secretly gave to her parents' family, a total of 550 yuan.
She heard the term "youth loss compensation" from Yunxi, and it came in handy now.
At first, the Liu family was unwilling to take the money, and they were like dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water. They threatened that in exchange for their money, they would take their lives.
It was not until Gu's father called his eldest nephew who came to help that he went to the county to report to the police, saying that someone was having an affair. After all, Gu Tao and Liu Qiaoqiao had not divorced yet.
When things got to this point, the Liu family started to panic, because having casual sex at that time was a serious crime and the person would be arrested and paraded through the streets, and in serious cases, the person would be imprisoned or shot.
In this case, between not being able to hold their heads up in front of others for the rest of their lives and 550 yuan, the Liu family decisively chose the former.
Besides, Qiaoqiao said that the son-in-law she was looking for this time was a senior engineer in the county machinery factory. Although he was a little older, his monthly salary was 50 or 60 yuan.
Once the two get married, there will be a steady stream of money flowing into their family, unlike the Gu family who are so stingy.
Thinking of this, Father Gu immediately took out a large stack of money from the inner room, and handed it over with a painful look on his face.
This is not the end. When leaving Liujia Village, the young men invited by Gu's father and mother continued to add fuel to the fire and recounted in detail everything that Liu Qiaoqiao had done.
If she dares to do it, she shouldn't be afraid of being criticized.
Before leaving, Gu Tao pulled Sanni, who was standing at the gate of Liu's house, and was about to go back, but unexpectedly she broke free.
"Sanni, what are you doing? Go home with dad."
Unexpectedly, Sanni glared at Gu Tao and Gu's father and mother next to her fiercely, hid behind her grandfather and said mercilessly.
"I'm not going with you. I want to follow my mother. You guys are not really good to me."
Then she recounted all the things she remembered about the education she received from her father and grandparents since she was a child, her tone full of resentment.
None of the three had expected that such a young child could say such sad words. Mother Gu admitted that among all her grandchildren, she was the strictest with Sanni.
The main reason is that Sanni is a perfect replica of Liu Qiaoqiao's temper and personality, and she wants to take advantage of the child while he is still young.
They changed her temper, but they didn't expect that these things would become the reason for the child to hate them.
But Mother Gu can guarantee that, except for being strict with Sanni, she treats all the children equally no matter what delicious food or fun things there are at home.
"Sanni, grandma and dad didn't beat you or punish you because they didn't like you. When your brothers Jiahao did something wrong, grandma beat them even harder."
"Don't listen to what your mother says. Come home with grandma. She will cook meat for you every day and send you to school. You will get into a good university in the future."
At this time, Mother Gu still held on to a glimmer of hope and gently advised.
Gu Tao was more direct. He just pulled the man out, carried him on his shoulders and walked out.
However, Sanni obviously did not listen to these words. She struggled with her hands and feet, hitting her father on the head and kicking his chest with her little arms and legs.
Finally, she actually reached out her hand and scratched five sharp cuts on Gu Tao's face with her fingernails.
"Hiss..." Gu Tao put his daughter down on the ground in pain: "Sanni, what are you doing?"
As soon as Gu Sanni touched the ground, she immediately ran into Liu's house.
"You are not my father. My mother found me a rich father who can buy me delicious food, beautiful hairbands and clothes every day."
"You are just a farmer, what can you give me?"
These words hurt Gu Tao's heart deeply. His eyes turned red in an instant and his clenched fists trembled slightly.
It turned out that in his daughter's heart, he was just a useless farmer's father who couldn't give her a good life.
"Sanni, even though your father has no money, has he ever treated you badly over the years? Has he ever lacked food and clothing for you?"
"If someone is treating you well now, can you guarantee that he will treat you well for the rest of his life like your biological father did, without any intention?"
