As soon as Gu Zixiao got home, she asked someone to help her investigate the Lin family.
Li Sangye asked with some surprise, "Why did you suddenly decide to investigate the Lin family?"
Gu Zixiao didn't hide anything and told him what had happened that day.
Li Sangyan: ……
"Is it really necessary? Wouldn't it be better if we could part ways amicably?"
When it comes to matters of the heart, you can't force things. If Gu Zixiao doesn't like it, then find someone else.
In this world, there isn't only one man, Gu Zixiao.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere.
Gu Zixiao: "Who says otherwise? I didn't take it seriously at first. But I don't know what's wrong with their family, they just had to drag me into this."
Gu Zixiao thought about Lin's mother's behavior and knew she would definitely complain to Lin's father.
And his parents.
He needs to resolve his parents' issues himself. It would be best to have his grandfather intervene, so that his foolish father might listen.
As for his mother, who's so clueless, with the old man's approval, she won't come to me nagging anymore.
After entrusting the Lin family's affairs to Li Sangye, Gu Zixiao rode her bicycle back to the Gu family home.
As soon as he arrived at the Gu family home, Gu's father would give him the cold shoulder.
Gu Zixiao ignored him and tried to walk past him.
Mr. Gu immediately became furious: "Gu Zixiao, you unfilial son! I'm right in front of you! How dare you ignore me?"
"You know I've been ignoring you, yet you still come running to me. Aren't you crazy?" Gu Zixiao said casually.
"You, you unfilial son, how dare you speak to me like that? I am your father."
"You don't need to emphasize that. I know. So, can you just disappear from my sight right now?"
If the person in front of him weren't his father, Gu Zixiao would have told him to get lost.
Mr. Gu also understood Gu Zixiao's subtext, and he was so angry that his face turned red.
"You, you, you..."
He kept saying "you, you, you" incessantly. Gu Zixiao grew impatient and chose to ignore him, intending to walk past him.
Gu's mother couldn't help but cry, "Gu Zixiao, no matter what, he is still your father. How can you treat your father like this?"
Gu Zixiao said expressionlessly, "So, what exactly do you want? Can you stop beating around the bush? I don't have time."
Seeing her son's attitude towards her, Gu's mother became even more heartbroken.
She cried as she asked, "Have you found someone?"
Gu Zixiao: "Yes. What's up?"
“Something’s wrong. Of course something’s wrong. I heard that your girlfriend is from the countryside. I don’t agree with her. Tell her you want to break up.”
Gu Zixiao smiled enigmatically: "Do I need your approval to find a partner?"
“I’m your mother!” Mrs. Gu shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes. I know you're my mother. But what does that have to do with me finding a partner? Besides, you're from the countryside yourself. And now you look down on people from the countryside? Auntie, it's fine if you say these things at home, but if you go outside and say them, do you believe that those young men wearing red armbands can arrest you right away and send you to a farm for reform?"
At that point, not even my grandfather, let alone my father, could control this matter.
"Because of your nonsense, our Gu family might be implicated."
Gu Zixiao's words successfully changed the expressions of the other members of the Gu family.
The other members of the Gu family weren't fools either; they were quite aware of the situation outside.
Sister-in-law Gu immediately scolded Gu's mother: "Second sister-in-law, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."
Unlike her mother, who was not mentally sharp, Sister-in-law Gu had three sons and two daughters.
If they were implicated because of Gu's mother's ambiguous words, she would kill her.
Even Gu Sansao and Gu Sisao were somewhat annoyed.
Fourth Sister-in-law Gu said bluntly, "Second Sister-in-law, I don't care what you say in your room, but once you leave your room, you'd better keep your mouth shut. If you implicate us, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Fourth Sister-in-law Gu has already decided to kill Mother Gu.
After all, her sister-in-law's family had been imprisoned because of these things, and she still vividly remembered their miserable state.
She saw that everyone in the Gu family was looking at her with eyes that seemed to want to kill her.
Gu's mother was furious and yelled at Gu Zixiao, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you let such words..."
Before she could finish speaking, Sister-in-law Gu grabbed her hair and slapped her several times, the slaps landing squarely on Gu's mother's face.
Mr. Gu tried to stop them, but his older brother stopped him.
Brother Gu's eyes were like knives: "Second brother, your sister-in-law is disciplining your wife for you, so don't get involved."
Mr. Gu glared angrily at his eldest brother: "Brother, that's my wife. How can you bully my wife like that?"
Gu Zixiao stood leisurely to the side: "Dad, someone like my mom who doesn't know her place really needs to be disciplined. This isn't the time to say whatever comes to mind."
Because of your actions, your whole family has been implicated and suffered because of you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Besides, with so many kids in the family, what if some silly little one accidentally tells others that your wife is at home?
Do you know what it means to have trouble coming from your mouth? Our whole family will be ruined because of what your wife said.
Gu Zixiao wasn't exaggerating; he had simply encountered far too many similar situations.
