When Li Xia said this, everyone present took a breath.
This is really too bold to say.
Gu Changzheng's face was extremely ugly. Li Xia's words were undoubtedly saying that he was cuckolded! This was something that no man could tolerate!
Zhang Guifen immediately started to cry out: "I don't want to live any longer. I am Zhang Guifen and I have lived a clean life. I am so old and still being slandered like this. Everyone, please give us your opinion, Captain!"
Grandma Qing also held Li Xia and said, "My daughter, I know you care about Weicheng and are worried about him, but you can't say such things carelessly."
"Grandma Qing, I know what's going on." Li Xia said to Grandma Qing, and then to Zhang Guifen,
"I just made a few reasonable guesses and you're so desperate. When you wronged Weicheng, threw dirty water on him, and forced him, a teenager, to leave his hometown, did you ever think about whether he could survive? Do you know the pain when you cut yourself with a knife?"
Cao Xiulian stood up and spoke for Zhang Guifen, saying, "No matter what, as a junior you shouldn't talk to your elders like that. After all, Guilan is your mother-in-law!
In the past, which daughter-in-law would dare to talk to her mother-in-law like this? Even if she contradicted her mother-in-law, she would have to kneel down and serve tea to apologize! "
Li Xia chuckled and said, "Oh, really? Then the man named Gu Yaozu rushed in and wanted to beat and kill Weicheng. Weicheng is his brother, and the eldest brother is like a father. He is about to kill his father. Should he kneel down and kowtow three times to Weicheng?"
"You!" Cao Xiu Lian was speechless after being confronted by Li Xia.
Gu Yaozu said from the side: "I don't want to kneel down to that evil creature!"
"Evil creature?" Li Xia frowned, walked up to Gu Yaozu before anyone could react, and slapped him twice in the face.
With two crisp slaps, Li Xia asked in the stunned crowd: "It is said that 'eldest sister-in-law is like a mother'. As an elder, it is not too much for me to teach Gu Yaozu a lesson for his rude words. Gu Yaozu, listen to me. If you dare to speak nonsense again in the future, I will beat you!"
Gu Yaozu didn't expect that Li Xia would dare to hit him. Gu Weicheng was tall and strong, and he couldn't beat him. So how could he not beat Li Xia, a woman?
Gu Yaozu was so angry that he immediately raised his fist to fight back. Ji Feng immediately stood in front of Li Xia and bared his teeth at Gu Yaozu.
Seeing Ji Feng's momentum, Gu Yaozu was so scared that he took several steps back.
Gu Hongjun and Gu Yongnian also immediately stood in front of Li Xia, preventing Gu Changzheng and Zhang Guifen, who were angry because of being beaten, from touching Li Xia at all.
Li Xia was not afraid of these three people. She looked at everyone and continued, "Did everyone hear it? Gu Yaozu dared to call Weicheng an 'evil beast'. How dare they say that we bullied them?"
Originally, no one had decided who bullied whom, but when they saw Gu Yaozu calling Gu Weicheng "evil creature" all the time, they all believed what Li Xia said.
As for the matter of Li Xia beating Gu Yaozu, what she said made sense. It was Gu Yaozu who was disrespectful to Gu Weicheng. As a wife, she taught her husband a lesson, which made her look courageous.
Gu Yongnian was explaining the details of the matter to the captain. At this moment, Gu Weicheng gave Grandpa Gu a bath, changed him into clean clothes, and carried him out of the east wing.
When everyone looked over, they believed even more that Gu Weicheng was filial and that Gu Changzheng and Zhang Guifen were heartless.
The captain said to Gu Changzheng, "Weicheng is also filial, for his grandfather's good. Changzheng, as a son, you are not willing to spend money to send the old man to the hospital, which is unfilial. Why are you stopping Weicheng from sending the old man to the hospital?"
"That's right, this is too heartless!"
"If my son and daughter-in-law dare to do this to me, I will break their legs! It would be better to strangle them to death at birth than to raise such a heartless beast!"
"It's not easy for Daqiang. He has only one son, and he's already old, but he's still treated like this!"
For a while, everyone was pointing fingers at Gu Changzheng and Zhang Guifen, especially the elderly men and women in the village. They were afraid that they would be like this in their old age, and they wanted to eradicate this unfilial atmosphere.
Gu Changzheng was scolded by so many people for being heartless. He felt so ashamed that he wanted to burrow into the ground.
Seeing that everyone was scolding them, Zhang Guifen became anxious and said, "Everyone has misunderstood us. We also want to send Dad to the hospital, but doesn't our family have money?
Yaozu is still in school, and it costs a lot of money. The New Year is coming, and we have to spend money everywhere. If we had money, why wouldn't we take Dad to the hospital? And didn't we also ask the barefoot doctor in the village to treat Dad? "
Gu Yongnian stood up and said, "Aunt, what you said is not right. You just took more than a thousand yuan from grandpa a while ago. Why are you saying you have no money now?"
Li Xia took over the conversation and said, "I was just about to talk about the one thousand yuan, Captain, while you are here, I want you to make the decision for me and Weicheng.
These are the remittance slips that Weicheng has sent to his grandfather over the years. He is a filial son, and when he first joined the army and his salary was very low, he sent money to his grandfather every month. He has sent money every month over the years without missing a single day.
But some people say that the money was taken from them by grandpa, which is ridiculous."
The captain took the remittance slip from Li Xia's hand, nodded as he read it, and said, "It is clearly written on the remittance slip, there can be no mistakes.
Changzheng, what you did was not fair. The money was originally given to the old man by Weicheng. How could you take the money away and say that the old man stole it from you? Isn't this throwing dirty water on the old man? The old man is an old man, and he is still called a thief by his own son. "
"This...I..." Gu Changzheng stammered for a long time and couldn't make out what he meant. He could only look at Zhang Guifen and ask her to speak for him.
The money was found by Zhang Guifen, and he only found out about it later.
How could Zhang Guifen know that Gu Weicheng could still keep the remittance slips from all these years? Even though she was good at tea art and eloquent, her tricks were useless in front of Li Xia today!
Li Xia said sarcastically, "Captain, don't blame them. It's their old tradition to wrongly accuse people. Everyone understands it, right? They can even wrongly accuse their own father, so what's wrong with wronging their own son?"
"You...you..." Gu Changzheng's face turned purple, and his hand was shaking as he pointed at Li Xia.
How could Gu Weicheng marry such a tough guy!
