Chapter 90 Instigation
Old Lady Gu's eyes fell on the gifts in the room and she asked, "Which ones are for the first wife and which ones are for the third wife?"
Gu Mingda pointed casually and Zhang Yuniang quickly separated them.
At the old lady's urging, even the things for the children were placed separately to one side.
As soon as the second couple walked out of the old lady's room, Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni came over with their children.
Chen Chunhua pushed Gu Daya, and Gu Daya took two steps forward with her lips tightly pursed.
Chen Chunhua saw that Daya was not willing to ask for things directly, so she spoke on her daughter's behalf: "Uncle, our Daya has been missing you every day during the days you were away. She even cried last night because she missed him so much."
Gu Daya turned around and said indignantly: "Big brother and second brother also miss second uncle, why don't you ask big brother to talk!"
Even a child could feel her parents' favoritism. She also knew that her parents pulled her over to use her as a raft and ask Gu Mingda for things, so she was naturally unhappy.
Chen Chunhua glared at her daughter with gritted teeth.
"Yes, mother, why don't you call Xiaobao? Xiaobao misses his uncle more." Gu Xiaoya also looked at Liu Erni following her sister's words.
The sisters-in-law have a bad relationship and often fight, but their daughters have a good relationship. Now the two little girls are united in facing their mother who favors boys over girls.
Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni were about to explode when they saw their rebellious daughter, but they heard the scolding of Old Lady Gu from the room: "Get out of here, you shallow-eyed people!"
Perhaps it was because the division of the family property was so violent that the last bit of affection that Old Lady Gu had for her two daughters-in-law was directly divided.
When she looks at her two sons now, she feels that they are not as pleasing to the eye as before.
Liu Erni was still shameless, and came up to ask: "Mom, the things are all in your room, you will be the one to divide them up in the future?"
Old Mrs. Gu nodded and even pointed at something, indicating that this was what Gu Mingda originally wanted to give them.
Liu Erni's eyes lit up immediately and she said, "Mom, our third child has always been the most filial to you. The two children at home are also young and they like grandma the most. You can't be partial to her."
When Chen Chunhua saw that her sister-in-law had the upper hand, she immediately became anxious and tried to say nice things.
Old Lady Gu was annoyed by what she heard and said, "Whether I want to share the things with you or not, we'll talk about it after the eldest and third sons come back."
When Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni heard this, they immediately rushed out. The New Year was approaching, and there was nothing else to do except preparing for the New Year. Without any hesitation, they pulled their men back from outside.
Old Mrs. Gu's house was once again crowded with people, but it seemed that all the good things had been put away by the old lady.
"Mom, everyone is here, you can distribute the things now." Liu Erni urged anxiously.
Not only is their third branch waiting to take advantage of Gu Mingda, her parents' family is also waiting for this holiday gift to show off. How can they not be anxious?
Old Lady Gu didn't even bother to glare at her, and instead asked Old Third Gu: "Old Third, you've always been confused about big things but smart about small things. Do you know much about your family's financial situation?"
Ever since Liu Erni instigated Gu Xiaobao behind his back that day, Old Lady Gu has been thinking about it for several days. Now she has figured it out. If Liu Erni doesn't suppress her, Gu Laosan's family will only drift further and further away from Gu Mingda.
She gave birth to three sons, but only Gu Mingda was the most promising. Dividing the family was equivalent to creating a rift in the relationship between the brothers. If Liu Erni was allowed to continue doing what she did, the third son of the Gu clan would really be finished.
"Mom, Erni is in charge of the financial situation of our third branch. All I need is food." Gu Lao San said with a smile.
"You took twenty taels of silver when the family was divided. How much do you have now?" asked Old Mrs. Gu.
As it was about money, Liu Erni was more anxious than anyone else and said first: "Why did you ask this suddenly, mother? Is my second brother short of money? He will take the exam next year and will need money, so why did he spend so much money?"
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw that Old Third Gu was visibly getting nervous. Liu Erni was instigating Old Third Gu to be wary of her, his own mother, in front of him. Who knew how serious the situation was behind the scenes.
"Third brother, ask yourself, when has your second brother ever taken your money? You have always been the only ones who benefited from him, when has he ever taken advantage of you?" Old Mrs. Gu questioned.
Upon hearing this, Gu Laosan fell silent.
Liu Erni whispered, "Just because you didn't take it before doesn't mean you won't take it in the future."
Gu Laosan's expression became conflicted again.
Mrs. Gu suddenly felt that she was wrong. She should learn from Liu Erni. Isn't it just instigation? Who can't do that?
"I saw your wife giving money to her parents' home the other day. Her youngest brother seems to be getting married. I don't know if he is using your money to marry his wife."
When Gu Laosan heard this, he jumped up in panic.
Liu Erni hurriedly said, "No, Lao San, you have to believe me..."
But Gu Laosan had already rushed back to his house in a hurry and started searching frantically inside.
"Third brother, the money is not hidden here. I moved to another place...you have to believe me..." Liu Erni said hurriedly behind him.
Gu Lao San asked, "Where is it hidden? Find it for me quickly. If you don't find it, I will never forgive you."
Liu Erni hesitated.
Seeing his wife's guilty look, Gu Lao San could not help but understand. He flew into a rage, waving his fists and saying, "You sent her back to her parents' home! You don't even care about your own two children!"
Liu Erni was submissive to Liu Laonian, but she immediately attacked Gu Laosan: "My brother from my mother's family is getting married, and the bride price is thirty taels. What can I do? Am I going to watch my brother remain single? I have been with you for so many years and have given birth to two children. Have I ever had a good day? You are not in a hurry to use the money, so why do you have to get to the bottom of it!"
Gu Laosan was actually stunned on the spot.
Before Old Mrs. Gu could say anything, Chen Chunhua, who was watching the show nearby, burst out laughing.
"Third brother, it seems your brother-in-law is using your money to marry a wife. If you had known that the money would be wasted, you would have divorced Liu Erni and directly married your brother-in-law's wife. Then you could get a virgin girl for free." Chen Chunhua joked with a smile.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Gu Laosan's face was really moved.
This time it was Liu Erni's turn to get angry. She rushed over and tried to scratch Chen Chunhua's face: "What are you talking about, you shameless person! I can't stop scratching you!"
Chen Chunhua hurriedly hid behind Boss Gu.
Liu Erni stopped abruptly and narrowly avoided falling directly on her uncle.
Chen Chunhua hasn't stopped talking yet. When she gets really mean, it makes people want to beat her to death.
"Third brother, today my brother-in-law has no money to betrothal, and tomorrow he has no place to live. He likes your big brick and tile house, and he can even send his family secret recipe to your mother's family. Your brothers-in-law have sons one after another, and you may have to sell your daughter to other brothers' sons in exchange for betrothal gifts in the future."
