Chapter 220 The Culprit of Family Disputes
Gu Yuexuan hesitated, her voice a little hesitant: "Grandfather, this..."
"Just come. You are the eldest grandson's wife of the Tusu family. What's wrong with letting our ancestors see your face?" The old grandfather said firmly. He handed her three sticks of incense and said in a sad tone, "Kneel down."
Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly kneel down.
After three bows and nine kowtows, the old grandfather gazed deeply at the extremely simple yet profound elegy for his ancestor, closed his eyes and called softly, "Yanting, come here too."
Tu Su Yanting knelt forward at Li's urging. When she stood up, the old grandfather slowly spoke in a low voice, "My descendants are not talented. The Tu Su family's century-long glory has been destroyed. The future is unpredictable, and the difficulties are too difficult to confide in others."
"You are all descendants of Tu Su. No matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you must remember to unite and work together to weather the storm. Even if you cannot reproduce the glory of your ancestors, you must not complain and become mediocre. We should work together to protect the safety of the Tu Su family, and only ask for a clear conscience and live up to the heavens and the earth."
"Do you remember it?"
Tu Subo and the others bowed their heads and said sincerely, "Thank you for your teachings, Grandfather."
The old grandfather let out a long breath and said, "Okay, everyone, please take a seat and have your meal."
In the past, meals were always served at a square table. When there were too many people, there would not be enough seats, so the younger generations would bring their own small stools and find a place to sit under the seats of the elders.
Today's dishes were so rich that one table couldn't hold them all, so Tu Subo simply put two square tables together to accommodate everyone.
Yesterday's dispute has not yet subsided, and today Gu Yuexuan made an exception to participate in the ancestor worship. Amid the lingering aroma on the dinner table, the old lady's face looked unusually gloomy.
However, Tu Suting's family was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Everyone knows that the grandfather asked Tu Su Yan Ting to accompany him to worship the ancestors in order to balance Gu Yuexuan's prominence. However, so what?
The couple may no longer be able to have children, and their only offspring is Tu Su Yanting. Under the protection of Gu Yuexuan, she can get more attention from her grandfather, which is undoubtedly a great thing.
After all, as long as Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan from the eldest house are there, their Yan Ting will have a solid support. Isn't this better than anything else?
Yu was in a very happy mood.
Tu Suminfei's wound wasn't serious, and his spirits had improved significantly. Tu Suminyang also showed his attentiveness and maturity. With these two trustworthy and outstanding sons, what did that unworthy and scoundrel husband matter?
Before the violence began, she still remembered the hierarchy between husband and wife and carefully considered every detail. However, now that they had already torn their faces apart and fought, what was there to be afraid of?
If you still feel unwilling, then swing the carrying pole again and give him a severe lesson!
Xi Lanfang's eyes inadvertently swept over the new jade hairpin in Gu Yuexuan's hair, and her heart was filled with joy.
The son and daughter-in-law share a deep and loving bond, and the family's misfortunes haven't affected their sweet love. Harmony between husband and wife is more beautiful than any sweet words, and it brings joy to the heart just by looking at it.
The children held their bowls, their faces filled with happy smiles. The only ones who looked unhappy were the old lady and Tu Suye, whose face was filled with gloom.
Tu Suye suffered a brutal blow yesterday, and today every part of his skin was in excruciating pain.
He wanted to throw down his chopsticks, but he was afraid of the old lady's warning and didn't dare to act rashly. He had no choice but to put on a sullen face, forcefully stuffed a few mouthfuls of food, and then said stiffly, "I'm not feeling well. I'm going to rest first."
The old lady tried to stop him, but failed. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled bitterly and explained, "His body is covered in bruises and broken flesh. If everyone hadn't been present tonight, he would have been bedridden."
When she mentioned her injuries, she turned to Yu with a look filled with stern reproach: "Ever since you came into this village, you've become increasingly unruly. You've even forgotten the proper etiquette of respect and inferiority when dealing with your own husband, and your behavior has become increasingly vulgar!"
"Don't hang out with those vulgar village women, lest you get tainted with their vulgar air!"
Yu didn't care about the scolding at all and calmly handed Tu Su Minfei a bowl of chicken soup.
"This bowl of chicken soup was carefully prepared by your sister-in-law for an hour. Drink more, it will be very beneficial to your body."
Tu Su Min Fei took it with both hands, smiling. The old lady wanted to continue criticizing her, but Li Shi suddenly interrupted, "Min Fei, you really should eat more."
"Look at your father. He also works away from home, but he has a rosy complexion and a plump figure. Why do you look thinner?"
"You are still young and in the critical period of growth. You should learn from your father how to take care of yourself to avoid long-term fatigue that damages your body."
Tu Suminfei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded in agreement, while the old lady looked at Tu Suye's round and fat body and swallowed back the blame that was about to come out of her mouth.
At this time, Tu Suye was like a rat crossing the street, everyone was shouting at him, and saying one more word could bring disaster.
I could only swallow my resentment helplessly.
The old lady's face was gloomy and uncertain. She glanced sharply at Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan who were talking with their heads down, and a barely perceptible chill flashed in her eyes.
Although the old grandfather had shown some favoritism in the past, he had never poured all his love and care into the eldest branch as he did now. Although the eldest branch had its prominent Tu Su Bo, Xi Lanfang and others had not won the old grandfather's true heart.
She could already see clearly that the culprit of this family dispute was Gu Yuexuan.
We must never allow the people of the eldest branch to be so arrogant for long.
Otherwise, day after day, would she still have a place in this family? During the annual Spring Festival, Yu had originally planned to let Tu Suminfei rest at home for a few more days, firstly because her son rarely came home, and secondly because the force with which Tu Suye smashed the stool that day was indeed shocking.
Tu Su Minfei seemed fine on the surface, but his back was covered with shocking bruises, and his broken forehead was still bleeding.
However, Tu Suminfei firmly disagreed.
He smiled bitterly and said, "My boss is very generous and gave me a few extra days of vacation. How can I be so shameless as to rest at home all the time?"
"Besides, this isn't a serious illness. A few days of rest won't be a big deal. I can slowly recuperate after arriving at my destination."
Mrs. Yu was still worried. "I'm here to look after you at home. If your father gets out of control again, even if your third uncle and eldest brother aren't around, we can still stop him. But what will happen if he leaves home?"
If Tu Su Minfei encounters violence again and is unable to resist, won’t he have to endure endless bullying?
Thinking of this, Yu almost wanted to pick up the carrying pole again, so that her husband could not get out of bed due to the pain. But Tu Su Minfei just smiled calmly after hearing this.
"Mom, you think too much. Why would father be so mean to me for no reason?"
"We are just going to work. We are bound by the rules of our boss, so there won't be any trouble."
Yu was still trying to dissuade him, but when she saw Tu Suye, his face livid, being supported by the old lady, she gritted her teeth angrily and said, "You are still young, don't bear all the suffering silently. If anyone is restless and wants to stir up trouble, just inform the family. I will definitely support you!"
