Chapter 174 It turns out that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked
"We agreed last night that my sister and her family would stay at each family's house for a day. Why are you changing your mind today? Are you still a human being?"
"Don't we have two mouths to feed? If you want to stay, then stay. We are poor and can't afford it!"
"Bah! When my sister was doing well, she used to bring you a lot of things."
"I took the stuff you guys don't want, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
The sisters-in-law argued about whether Zhang's mother and son should stay and even fought. In the end, the men from both families came out and pulled the two apart.
Although Zhang's mother passed away, Zhang's father is still strong.
Seeing his two sons starting to refuse each other, he banged the ground with his cane and said sternly, "If you don't want to live with me, go back to your mother's house. From now on, Ah Zhen and Chang Lin will live at home, and I will live with them.
Each of you must pay me the money you support me with on time, or I will never forgive you!"
When they heard about paying money, the two sisters-in-law became even more reluctant, but at home the old man was the boss. If they dared to object, their husband would definitely show no mercy. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to agree.
The matter ended like this, and a triumphant smile appeared on Zhang's lips.
However, she knew that even if her father was partial to her, she still had to find a house of her own to live in, otherwise, they would definitely not have peace.
What's more, if there is no house, how will Changlin get married in the future? She is still counting on her son to lead her to a good life!
"Dad, this isn't going to work. We still have a piece of land behind us. Why don't we build a house there for Changlin and I to live on?
Besides, Changlin is old enough to get married, but he doesn't even have a place to live, so how can your grandson get married?" She started to act coquettishly with her father.
Old Master Zhang looked at his daughter and then at his precious grandson.
"Grandpa, you have to think about me too!" Gu Changlin said coquettishly.
The two sons of the Zhang family stood there, not daring to speak, but they felt bitter in their hearts.
Building a house costs a lot of money, and it will definitely be their business when the time comes.
However, over the years, their sister often brought them things, and they couldn't help but think well of her.
"Okay, let's build it then. Let Changlin marry a good wife, preferably one who can read and write." Old Master Zhang made the decision immediately.
Seeing the old man agree so readily, the second son of the Zhang family hurriedly said, "Dad, where can I get so much money just to build a house?"
"That's right. There is no harvest this year and everyone is living off their savings. Where can we get the money?" The eldest son of the Zhang family also looked embarrassed.
However, before Mr. Zhang could say anything, Gu Changlin shamelessly said, "Uncle, it's okay if your second uncle has no money, but you are just two little girls, how could you possibly be broke!"
"You!" The eldest son of the Zhang family was so angry that his face turned black.
The second son of the Zhang family was glad that his wife had given him two sons.
"Don't talk nonsense." Although Zhang agreed with her son's words in her heart, seeing that her eldest brother was in a bad mood, she pretended to scold her son.
"That's right. Girls are just a waste of money. What's the point of having them? I think that aunt is useless. You might as well marry another one while you are still young and have a son to support you in your old age." Gu Changlin really dared to say anything.
Old Master Gu glared at the eldest brother. He had advised him about this matter a long time ago, but the eldest brother didn't listen, and he was very angry.
"Okay, boss, take two taels of silver and I'll pay the rest!" he said loudly.
The eldest daughter-in-law was so displeased that she rushed out of the house and retorted, "Dad, this is not fair!"
Bang!
Old Master Zhang had a hot temper and hit the eldest son's wife with his cane.
The eldest son’s wife fell to the ground and cried loudly in pain.
"You couldn't even give birth to a son for the eldest son, and you still have the nerve to cry? Go back to your mother's home!" Old Master Zhang was not tolerant at all and directly told the eldest son's wife to get out.
Because she didn't give birth to a son for the eldest son of the Zhang family, this became a handle for her husband's family and second brother's family to control her. The key point was that her own husband didn't support her.
The eldest son's wife was feeling miserable and ran into the house to pack her luggage in anger.
Gu Xiaoxi could see and hear everything clearly from the big tree.
She finally understood why Zhang was so bad?
It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked!
Moreover, the old man of the Zhang family is extremely hypocritical. He dotes on his own daughter, but despises his eldest daughter-in-law because she also gave birth to a daughter.
The key point is that the eldest son of the Zhang family is still a little confused. Not only does he not help his wife, but he also helps the evil. It really makes life difficult for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
clang!
The yard door was kicked open, and Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law carried her bag and took her two daughters back to her parents' home.
Gu Xiaoxi saw it and felt unhappy. Since Mr. Zhang was so rich, why not clear out his wealth and see who has the money to build a house for Zhang and her son?
With a plan in mind, she didn't waste time outside.
She hurried home and found that her elder brother and the others had already returned.
When she got home, she started cooking and had dinner early. There was a lot everyone could do.
After finishing her work, she went to change the medicine for her second uncle and then went back to her room to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she went to see her second uncle again. After making sure that he was okay, she told her younger uncle that she was leaving.
The village was such a small place that she arrived at Zhang's parents' home in no time.
She carefully climbed over the wall and found the house where the old man lived.
The old man lived alone. It was cold and the windows were closed. She carefully climbed onto the roof, lifted a tile, and released some smoke.
After waiting for a while, she jumped off the roof, carefully opened the window and entered the house.
Just in case, she came in and lit the old man's sleeping bag, then carefully searched the house, and finally found a bag of silver in the old man's pillow.
Weighing it in your hand, it must be at least fifty taels of silver.
He does have some financial resources!
If you have fifty or sixty taels of silver in the village, you are considered a rich man.
She put the silver away, went out through the window, and then closed the window and restored it to its original state.
Then she went to the room where Zhang lived.
She believed that Zhang must have some silver in her hands, so she used the previous method and actually found twelve taels of silver in Zhang's bag.
My second uncle was penniless, yet this bastard actually had so much silver on him. He even tried to cheat my second uncle out of the two taels of silver. It was simply despicable.
She was so angry that she raised her fist, but thinking that she couldn't fight now, she held back.
After leaving Zhang's house, she returned home as soon as possible.
As soon as he got home, he saw his uncle stomping back and forth anxiously at the door. He went up to ask and found out that his uncle was in so much pain that cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.
Gu Xiaoxi went in to see and it was true. She knew it was because the wound had been sutured a second time and the anesthetic had worn off.
"Xiaoxi, is there any way to alleviate your second uncle's pain?" Gu An looked at her with heartache.
