Chapter 91 Cutting
Liu Erni quickly retorted: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!"
Seeing Liu Erni's guilty look, Chen Chunhua suddenly realized something and asked, "Why are you so anxious? Did I get to the point?"
Liu Erni immediately began to stammer. As the eldest daughter of her eldest sister, her whereabouts could not be told to outsiders.
Gu Laosan was immediately defeated. He looked at Liu Erni with red eyes and asked, "Where is your eldest sister's daughter? Tell me, tell me!"
Chen Chunhua pulled at the corner of Gu Lao Da's clothes with excitement on her face, and looked at the couple in the third room as if she was watching a good show.
Liu Erni was forced to retreat step by step by Gu Laosan's questioning. She said stumblingly, "She was sold to a wealthy family as a maid... She lived a good life..."
Although Gu Laosan frowned when he heard this explanation, he still felt that it was not too difficult to understand.
The old lady was well-informed and asked directly, "After being sold to a wealthy family, she should have come back to visit her family. How come she hasn't come back in several years? Even if she didn't come back, according to the temperament of your family, they would go to ask your daughter for the monthly allowance. Why don't you go to see your family?"
Liu Erni's face suddenly changed when she was asked this question.
Old Mrs. Gu looked at Liu Erni as if she was looking at a small stone hidden in her shoe, which was bumped by her as she walked along the way.
Now that the time had finally come to give up the stone, Old Lady Gu asked in a deep voice, "Old Third's family, was the person sold to a brothel by your mother's family?"
Liu Erni didn't expect that such a secret matter could be guessed by Old Lady Gu, and she took a step back in fright.
Gu Laosan's face was extremely ugly. He grabbed Liu Erni and asked, "Mother asks you a question, tell me, is this true or not?"
After a moment of blankness in her brain, Liu Erni quickly organized her words, trying to make up a perfect lie.
Old Lady Gu sighed and said, "No wonder the Liu family suddenly became rich during that period and found a beautiful wife for Liu Laoer."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Laosan directly in the heart.
The three brothers of the Gu family were all influenced by their parents and treated their daughters much better than the ordinary families in the village. Although they valued their sons more, they also hoped that their daughters could live a good life and never thought of sacrificing their daughters to pave the way for their sons.
The tip of the iceberg revealed by the Liu family at this time was far more cruel than they had imagined.
Chen Chunhua murmured softly, "Liu Erni has never been very tolerant of Xiaoya. She would make the child spit out the meat in her mouth. If she encounters trouble in the future, she will definitely not feel bad about selling the child."
Liu Erni never thought that one day she would be judged by everyone because she was mean to her daughter. She hurriedly said, "Old Third, don't listen to what my sister-in-law says. Xiaoya is a piece of my flesh and blood. How can I not love her? I just value Xiaobao more..."
Chen Chunhua didn't indulge her either, saying, "You are still a piece of your mother's flesh and blood. Does your mother love you? It's a joke that she values Xiaobao more. You can still send Xiaobao's things to her mother's house."
Upon hearing this, Gu Laosan rushed back into the house and searched thoroughly. When he came out, his face looked as pale as death.
Liu Erni is in charge of all household affairs. Last time, the family's tofu secret recipe was stolen, Liu Erni said it was an accident and he believed it. Now, in the quarrel with the first wife, the problems exposed are far more than he had imagined.
"Husband, please believe me, I really didn't..." Liu Erni came closer and softened her voice, trying to coax him like she had done countless times in the past.
Gu Laosan only asked one question: "Where is the set of wooden swords I made for Xiaobao?"
Liu Erni thought it was just a set of wooden swords and not worth much, so she told the truth: "Zhu Zi liked it very much at first sight, so I gave it to him."
Zhuzi is the youngest son of Liu Dashan.
Gu Laosan looked at Liu Erni steadily, and after a long while, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and said, "You should go back to your parents' home."
Liu Erni asked in disbelief, "It's just a pile of wood, and you want me to take it back? Gu Laosan, why are you so stingy!"
Gu Laosan said: "You go back and don't need to come back again."
Liu Erni was stunned for a moment, then she jumped up in panic: "Gu Laosan, are you sick? It's just a pile of wood, and you still want to divorce your wife! Are you crazy?"
Chen Chunhua didn't expect things to turn out this way, but that didn't stop her from fanning the flames: "Not only a pile of wood, but also thirty taels of silver, and our tofu recipe."
Liu Erni got angry when she saw Chen Chunhua and said, "It's all your fault. I'm not done with you!"
Gu Lao San said, "Whether it's a divorce or divorce, whatever you say is fine."
"Gu Lao San, what do you mean? Do you think I'm too old? You are ungrateful, you have no conscience, you..."
Before Liu Erni could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Laosan: "I don't want to live with you anymore, do you understand?"
Liu Erni looked at him in a daze. She had always felt that it was her right to dominate everything about Gu Lao San, but she never expected that the day would come when her husband would abandon her.
"I won't leave, we are husband and wife..." Liu Erni murmured.
When Old Mrs. Gu saw her like this, she suddenly felt that she was quite pitiful.
"Mom, please say something quickly. Do you also want the third child to divorce me, and do you want Xiaoya and Xiaobao to be without a mother?" Liu Erni turned around and began to beg her mother-in-law.
Old Lady Gu asked, "Then can you take back the thirty taels of silver and the wooden sword?"
Liu Erni hesitated for a while and said, "I'll try to ask for the wooden sword, but as for the silver, my brother hasn't married yet..."
Old Lady Gu said, "Give me money today, and you'll be my children tomorrow. Erni, if you don't change these bad habits, no one will dare to live with you."
Liu Erni was still trying to defend herself: "My father passed away early, and my mother had a hard time..."
The Gu family had heard these words so many times that their ears were callused. Old Lady Gu said directly, "It's not our third child's fault that your mother has a hard time, and it's not our third child's fault that your brother is not doing well. No matter how much you pity your mother's family, you can't use my third child to fill this hole."
"I..." Liu Erni was left speechless.
Gu Laosan looked at his wife who was still unmoved, and the last bit of struggle in his heart disappeared. He said, "I will go to my second brother to write a divorce letter."
Liu Erni rushed forward to stop them.
"You can stop me for a while, but you can't stop me forever. I will go find him sooner or later." Gu Laosan was determined. He could not hand over the family assets to Liu Erni, but he could not stop his children from contacting her. What if she sold Xiaoya when he was not at home one day?
Gu Laosan has seen the second wife's couple running around looking for their son over the years and doesn't want to become like them.
Liu Erni begged, "What do you want me to do so that you won't mention the divorce? At worst, I won't send anything to my parents' home anymore. Is that not okay?"
