Chapter 162: Better to just eat and wait for death
When Gu Xueqiang returned, he saw his grandmother and mother breathing heavily in anger. His father sat with his legs crossed, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds. The crackling of the seeds showed that he was in a good mood. Meanwhile, the sisters Gu Siqing and Gu Yimin, one reading a book and the other cracking sunflower seeds, completely ignored his grandmother and parents.
He was really having a headache. When he came back from home this time, he left fifty dollars at home and told them that he would support the family in the future and let them live a good life. They should not think about his uncle's things anymore.
But why did they come anyway?
He looked at Gu Jiancheng with some hostility. Gu Jiancheng threw the melon seed shells beside him into the trash can and said, "Don't look at me like that. They insisted on coming. What can I do?"
Gu Siqing curled her lips: You are just a fool.
Gu Xueqiang knew his father's personality. He was a hopeless case. He looked at Wang Dani and Zhang Chuntao and said, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, please come to my room first."
Gu Jiancheng grabbed another handful of sunflower seeds from the table before standing up. Wang Dani and Zhang Chuntao remained seated. Wang Dani asked, "Why are you back? Where's your uncle?"
Gu Xueqiang said helplessly: "My uncle is not in the store because of something."
"Is there something wrong? What's the matter?" Wang Dani asked.
Gu Xueqiang naturally wouldn't tell him that Gu Jianguo and his family were planning to open a supermarket, or his grandmother and mother would be furious. He said, "How would I know what my uncle is doing out there? You guys can go to my room and rest for a while."
Wang Dani and Zhang Chuntao also had something to ask Gu Xueqiang, so they reluctantly got up and followed him to the backyard. Gu Jiancheng followed, nibbling melon seeds and wandering behind.
Wang Dani and Zhang Chuntao followed Gu Xueqiang into the backyard and realized how big Gu Jianguo's yard was and how well it was kept. When they entered Gu Xueqiang's room, they were overwhelmed with surprise. They had never seen such a nice and clean room before.
"Are those wooden boards on the floor?" Wang Dani bent down and tapped the floor. After hearing Gu Xueqiang's "hmm," she touched the furniture and the snow-white walls. Then she said, "It seems your uncle has really made a lot of money."
Zhang Chuntao's eyes lit up. She felt around the room and asked, "Your uncle is so rich, why didn't he buy a TV?"
The village chief's family had bought a TV a few days ago, and she went to see it. She knew that in order for a TV to show people, it needed an antenna. As soon as she entered the yard today, she looked for the antenna pole, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find it.
Gu Xueqiang asked them to sit down. "I don't know whether my uncle has money or not, and I don't know why he didn't buy a TV."
"How could you not know?" Zhang Chuntao felt that her son was becoming less and less loyal to her, and that he had become more and more cunning after coming to Lizhou.
She said, "You can bring home fifty dollars, so your uncle must make more. Besides, if he didn't make any money, how could he buy such a big and nice house?"
"Mom, what does my uncle's wealth have to do with you or me?" Gu Xueqiang said, "Don't tell me and Xuebin that we should inherit uncle's things. In the city, girls inherit property just as well."
"Bullshit!" Wang Dani said harshly, "Whose little girl can inherit the family fortune?"
"Many families in Lizhou are like this." Gu Xueqiang said.
Wang Dani didn't know the situation in Lizhou, but Gu Xueqiang's words were so convincing that she subconsciously believed them. But she still said, "Lizhou is Lizhou, and Shangshui Village is Shangshui Village. In our Shangshui Village, you and Xuebin should inherit his family business."
Zhang Chuntao responded: "That's right."
Gu Xueqiang felt helpless. How could he have such a family?
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Anyway, I won't take my uncle's things. I have hands and feet, I can earn money to support myself, and I can support you too. But don't think about letting Xuebin inherit my uncle's things, that's impossible. If you don't believe me, go talk to my uncle."
He knew that he could not convince Wang Dani and Zhang Chuntao, and only his uncle could deal with them.
"I also want to adopt you to your uncle." Wang Dani said.
She thought that Gu Jianguo bringing Gu Xueqiang to Lizhou meant that he loved him, and that letting him be adopted would make it easier for Gu Jianguo to accept. But she didn't expect Gu Xueqiang to be unwilling.
It's like trying to fix a piece of mud that can't be helped.
While they were talking here, Gu Siqing and Gu Yimin did what they were supposed to do. Anyway, their father would not let the second branch take advantage.
Gu Siqing sometimes wondered why Wang Dani, a woman herself, hated girls so much. Did she hate herself too?
The two sisters sat for a while and then cooked together. Just as the meal was ready, Gu Jianguo, Gu Erhui and Wang Yueju came back. Today, Gu Jianguo and Gu Erhui went to supervise the renovation of the supermarket building. When they came back, they met Wang Yueju at the entrance of the alley.
Wang Yueju naturally told Gu Jianguo about Wang Dani and Gu Jiancheng's visit. After hearing this, Gu Jianguo simply said, "Don't worry, everything is fine."
Wang Yueju wasn't really worried. First, she trusted Gu Jianguo. Second, her four daughters were all becoming more and more successful. What was she afraid of? To put it bluntly, if Gu Jianguo dared to side with Wang Dani or the second wife, she would be willing to live alone with her four daughters.
A child with a promising future has confidence.
Gu Jianguo didn't see Wang Dani and Gu Jiancheng in the front yard, so he knew they were in Gu Jiancheng's room. He walked to the backyard, knocked on Gu Xueqiang's door, and called out, "Xueqiang."
Gu Xueqiang inside heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his voice, and stood up to open the door. Gu Jianguo entered the room, walked over and sat on the edge of Gu Xueqiang's bed, looking down at Wang Dani and Gu Jiancheng without saying a word.
He had been doing business for such a long time that his temperament and aura had changed a bit. He was silent with a sullen face at this moment. Both Wang Dani and Gu Jiancheng were a little nervous. Gu Jiancheng lost his temper and surrendered first: "Brother, it's none of my business."
Gu Jianguo didn't even glance at him. She looked at Wang Dani and said, "Mom, I still say the same thing. If you live with me, I will feed you with good food and drink, but if you want anything else, forget it. It will never be possible."
"Why is it impossible?" Wang Dani felt that she was Gu Jianguo's biological mother, so even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare to do anything.
Gu Jianguo didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked at Gu Jiancheng and said, "Second brother, what do you think? Do you also think that my things should be given to your son in the future?"
"I never thought about it." Gu Jiancheng said immediately.
Before, when this big brother wasn't so powerful, he would have pinned him to the ground and beaten him. Now that he's grown up, he's even more daring, and maybe even harder. He doesn't dare to challenge him, so he might as well just eat and wait for death.
