Chapter 20: Second Brother, Divorce Her
"Chief, did you hear that? They're not paying back the money."
"That's right, people like this don't deserve to be our people!"
"Yes, expel their whole family from the clan!"
The villagers became angry again because of this sentence, and clamored to expel Gu He's family from the clan.
Forty taels of silver?
Upon hearing this figure, Xue was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at Gu Xiaoxi: "Gu Xiaoxi, you bastard, there's nothing to eat at home, and you got so much money and didn't even give it out? I'm going to beat you to death, you bitch!"
As she spoke, she rushed towards Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the desperate situation and was about to dodge, but saw the man being pulled back by his eldest brother.
Bang bang bang!
Gu Dongming slapped his wife three times in a row.
Chai was so angry at her eldest son and his wife that she jumped up and said, "You idiot, don't you know what kind of people the Tao family is?
Is Tao Yuheng someone who is willing to spend forty taels?"
Chai's shout woke up the others as well.
The people in Taojia Village had long been notorious, and the villagers in the nearby villages all knew about Tao Yuheng's philandering.
Moreover, some villagers had encountered Gu Xiaoxi before, who was beaten black and blue by Tao Yuheng. How could such a man give Gu Xiaoxi so much silver?
The villager who heard the news was also shaken after hearing these words, and hesitantly said, "I, I heard it too."
"Why are you talking nonsense about something that doesn't exist?" Old patriarch Gu glared at the aunt.
That aunt is usually dishonest, and to be frank, she is not very reliable.
Both Chai and the old patriarch spoke, and the villagers gradually quieted down again.
Originally, Gu Xiaoxi wanted to admit it, but now she can't admit it.
However, she had to express her stance and make it final, to avoid any follow-up.
So, she said angrily: "In order to divorce me, the Tao family did say they would give me forty taels because he had an affair with the daughter of Mr. Yan from Yanjia Village.
I actually believed it at the time and thought of taking the money back to my parents' home to pay off my debts.
But, when I came out of the government office, that bastard had someone stop me and snatched the silver back, wuwu...
Those people all have strong martial arts skills, and they have two children with them, so I can only give it to them, wuwu..."
When the Gu brothers heard this, they clenched their fists in anger, wishing they could rush to the Tao family and beat that scumbag up.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished her sobbing, she turned back to the house, took out five taels of silver from the space and ran out: "This is the only five taels of silver I have. It's not that I don't want to take it out, but my family owes too much silver, and I don't know what to do?
Yesterday, I was discussing with my mother about making a list and seeing which family needed it most and which one to return it to first.
"Yes, Xiaoxi is different from before. Today she went to the street with me to sell mountain products, and she also wanted to pay everyone back as soon as possible." Chai looked at her daughter taking out the five taels of silver, and her nose was sore.
At this time, Gu An also took out a purse and stuffed it into his eldest brother's hand: "Brother, this is five taels of silver. I can't use it now. Why don't you use it to pay off your debt first?"
"How can this be?" Gu He returned the silver embarrassedly. His younger brother hasn't gotten married yet, so how could he take his younger brother's money?
"Brother, just accept the silver if you consider me a family member!" After saying that, Gu An stuffed the silver back and stepped forward to support the old patriarch.
Uh-huh!
Gu He was so excited that he couldn't speak, and handed the silver in his hand to his wife.
Chai knew that her husband always felt guilty about his brother-in-law, but she didn't know the detailed reason.
"Okay, let's all go back and let Gu He figure out for himself how to pay back the silver." Seeing that they had collected more than ten taels of silver, the old patriarch Gu estimated that there would be no big deal for the time being.
Gu He had done a lot for everyone before, and most of the tribesmen were reasonable, so he didn't bother to care.
Gu An opened the gate of the yard. There were many people eavesdropping outside the yard. When they saw the door open, they hurriedly retreated.
Gu An helped the old patriarch Gu leave Gu He's house. The debt collectors in the yard looked at each other and then left the yard one by one.
After these people left, Gu He glanced at his youngest son.
Gu Nanming closed the yard door and then packed up the things in the yard.
Chai angrily stepped forward and slapped Mo several times: "You ungrateful bitch, second brother, divorce her and get her out of our Gu family!
Our old Gu family temple is too small to accommodate this huge Buddha!"
"Mom!" Although Gu Ximing was angry, he still couldn't bear to part with his wife.
"Since you want to live with this bitch like that, just get out of here together, cough cough cough..." Gu He roared angrily.
This useless second brother is really going to make them mad.
It was the first time that Xue saw her father-in-law so angry, and she was so scared that she hid behind her man.
Usually when they do something wrong, the mother-in-law will just scold them a few times, but the father-in-law never says anything.
My father-in-law is so angry about what happened today.
"Dad, Mom, stop talking. This is all my fault. I caused all this trouble. Don't blame my second sister-in-law." Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward to stop them.
Now my second sister-in-law is still injured. If I drive her out like this, how will outsiders view her?
However, she never thought that her momentary weakness would leave her with a huge disaster.
"My daughter, it's all because your parents are useless, otherwise we wouldn't let you suffer like this!" Chai said, hugging her daughter and bursting into tears.
Gu Xiaoxi felt really distressed. It was clearly the original owner's fault, but her mother took the blame on herself.
She hugged her mother tightly and told herself that she must let them live a good life, which was also a way to repay the original owner for giving her rebirth in this body.
"Mom, everything will be over. Please show me the accounts and pay off some of the debt first." She patted her mother's back gently.
Chai wanted to say something, but when she thought of the two traitors here, she swallowed the words.
"Go get it. You and the eldest son's wife go cook. The three of you and your sister come to the main room to sort out the accounts." Gu He knew that this matter had to be resolved. After giving the instructions, he walked into the main room with his hands behind his back.
Chai returned to the room, took out the accounting book from the cabinet, and handed it to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Ximing knew that this incident had angered his parents, so he went into the house and took out the two taels of silver they had saved.
"If you dare to take it out, we can't live like this anymore!" Mrs. Mo yelled at her man angrily.
