Chapter 92 Apology
Upon hearing this, Gu Laosan paused.
Chen Chunhua was still like a troublemaker, saying, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Let's get back the money we sent back before."
Gu Laosan looked at Liu Erni.
Liu Erni faced her husband's gaze, thought of her family's behavior, and stammered, "I... I'll go back and try first. Husband, I don't want a divorce, please don't write a divorce letter!"
Gu Laosan didn't say anything.
But after Liu Erni left, he went straight to find Gu Mingda.
Gu Mingda was very surprised.
Old Lady Gu said directly: "Write it to him. Not only a divorce letter, but also a divorce letter. Prepare it first."
Gu Mingda looked at Gu Laosan, whose face was full of pain, but he nodded in the end.
Gu Mingda asked again: "Thirty taels of silver, do you still want to take it back?"
Gu Laosan was startled and asked, "Second brother, can we get this money back?"
"If you want, I can help you think of a solution." Gu Mingda said.
Gu Lao San said fiercely, "Yes! This is our money. We should keep it for Xiao Bao to marry a wife and Xiao Ya to prepare a dowry. Why should we let the Liu family use it to marry a wife!"
Gu Mingda nodded, wrote the divorce letter and the divorce letter, and then left.
After finishing the work for the third room, Old Mrs. Gu just returned to her room and sat down.
Chen Chunhua came over again with a smile: "Mom, here are the things my second brother gave to our eldest wife. Please divide them up quickly."
Old Mrs. Gu's face darkened. She was not satisfied with Liu Erni, and she didn't like Chen Chunhua very much either.
Liu Erni is only concerned about her natal family, while Chen Chunhua is only concerned about the first wife. They wish they could suck the blood of the whole family to support the first wife, but she is still an ungrateful person and will never be satisfied no matter how many good things she feeds.
"You always say bad things about the second wife behind her back. Do you really have the nerve to take these things?" asked Old Mrs. Gu.
Chen Chunhua was so shameless that she said, "Mom, who is gossiping to you? I have never done such a thing."
Old Lady Gu glanced at her and imitated her words vividly: "The unlucky guy from the second house was lucky enough to pass the exam this time, but who knows what will happen next time. Sooner or later, he will fall."
Boss Gu was the first to be unhappy and scolded: "You actually cursed my brother behind his back!"
Chen Chunhua is a fool. On the one hand, she wants to take advantage of the second wife, but on the other hand, she cannot control her inner jealousy towards her.
The old lady glanced at Gu Mingda and said, "Boss, go with her to the second room to apologize."
Boss Gu was not happy and said, "Whatever she did behind my back, why would she ask me to accompany her!"
Boss Gu is the eldest son, and he is unwilling to apologize to his younger brother.
The old lady said, "Okay, I will return the gifts that the second son gave me."
The old lady's meaning was obvious. She was determined to bring peace to the home, or at least to bring about superficial peace.
Gu Laoda's eyes widened, and he said with a hint of grievance: "Mom, you really value the second child, and you don't want him to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance."
In the past, the old lady always treated the three brothers equally and let them solve their own problems. This was the first time that she intervened so clearly and explicitly.
The old lady looked at her eldest son deeply and said, "Your second brother spent money and effort, but in the end he is still being humiliated. Why? Just because he is promising and can study, he deserves to support you? He doesn't owe you anything!"
Boss Gu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.
The old lady continued to ask: "Boss, do you feel that what your daughter-in-law does and says has nothing to do with you?"
Boss Gu said nothing.
The old lady snorted coldly: "Husband and wife are one. If you don't divorce, you will stay together for the rest of your lives. What she does is what you do. Anyway, this is how I see it. If you can't control Chen Chunhua, you can only wait for the future to drift apart from the second son."
"As for why you think I favor the second brother? You and the third brother are so stingy with your retirement money, why should I favor you?"
Boss Gu felt like he was punched in the chest and felt extremely uncomfortable.
After all, he was her own son, so the old lady had to give him a sweet treat after slapping him, saying, "Your son Gu Jin's future has already been decided, but what about the eldest son Gu Yun? He's not young anymore, and you two don't plan for him at all? Are you expecting him to be like you, with your back to the sky and your face facing the earth?"
"Mom, do you have any plans for Gu Yun?" asked Boss Gu.
No one understands the hard work of farming better than Boss Gu. He has to work hard for several months to cultivate a few acres of land, and after paying the land tax, he only has enough to feed his family. If there is a disaster or famine, he may not even be able to fill his stomach.
If there was any other way out, he didn't want his son to continue following his old path.
"I haven't made any arrangements, but his second uncle might be able to think of a solution. If you were him, would you be willing to help a child whose parents keep saying bad things about him behind his back?" asked the old lady.
Boss Gu pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing him like this, the old lady felt more and more that he and Chen Chunhua were of the same kind. Chen Chunhua was jealous of the second wife, and Boss Gu might not be without jealousy as well.
"You can be humble to Uncle Chen for Gu Jin, but not for Gu Yun? Do you think that even if you do nothing, your brother deserves to be nice to you? Do you have to beg for food? Think about it carefully. It's easier to make your own brother happy than to make others happy."
The old lady had said all she had to say, waved her hand, and drove the couple out together.
The couple returned to their own room. Chen Chunhua still didn't know she was wrong at all and kept saying, "The old lady is really biased. She sees the second wife's success and looks down on us, the first wife..."
"That's enough!" Boss Gu interrupted his wife's chattering.
The old lady's words made him realize one thing very clearly.
After the family splits up, the mother is no longer the one in control of the family, so whether she is partial is actually not that important anymore.
But his second brother, Gu Mingda, has become the most capable person in the family. If he wants to change the fate of future generations, he has to appease his younger brother.
There is nothing more sad than having a deep and clear understanding of one's own uselessness.
Boss Gu took a deep breath and said to his wife, "I will go with you to apologize to the second wife."
In just half a day, the entire Gu family changed drastically.
As soon as Gu Mingda came back from outside, he was surrounded by the eldest wife and her husband on both sides.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, I am a person who speaks without thinking. I have said many wrong things in the past and hurt your feelings. I apologize to you here." Chen Chunhua apologized humbly with a bitter face.
She is not a good daughter-in-law, but she is a mother who is willing to give for her children.
Boss Gu also said, "Second brother, sister-in-law, I am sorry for you."
Gu Mingda did not expect that after his mother's trouble, this would be the result. He has always valued brotherhood. His elder brother and sister-in-law have already admitted their mistakes, so he naturally would not pursue the matter further.
Boss Gu found it difficult to talk about this at first, but when he really said it, his second brother easily forgave them. He immediately felt relieved, but he was truly ashamed of the jealousy that arose in his heart.
Liu Erni went back to her parents' home and spent half a day there, but finally came back empty-handed.
She still insisted on getting a divorce, and the Liu brothers even came to her house, each of them being extremely arrogant.
"My second sister has been working like a slave in your family for so many years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard..."
The Liu family kid stopped talking halfway through his words.
Just because Gu Mingda came out.
The Liu brothers are now terrified when they see Gu Mingda. They still remember how they ran around the village shouting and were treated as fools by the villagers.
"Are you here to pay back the money?" Gu Mingda asked deliberately.
The brothers looked at each other, dared not say anything, turned around and ran home, leaving Liu Erni standing there dumbfounded.
Gu Lao San looked at her and said, "If you don't want to divorce, then divorce me."
"Even if you divorce me, you can't get the money back!" Liu Erni yelled.
She thought she had Gu Lao San under control.
But a moment later, Liu Dashan came running over in a hurry.
"Second sister, second sister, the police came to our house to arrest us, saying that we stole the Gu family's money!"
