Night in Xiaohe Village.
There was a chorus of cicadas and frogs.
Although the temperature gradually dropped, Lu Yan's noise made it impossible to sleep.
That night, few members of the Gu family could sleep.
In the first house, after wasting five seconds of passion on his wife, Wang Zhaodi, Gu Laoda finally got up. Wang Zhaodi pushed Gu Laoda with an unhappy look on her face: "Tell me, does the fifth son's wife want to die? She has ruined the second son's reputation so much. What hope do we have?"
As the old saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.
The eldest wife of the Gu family is a loyal supporter of the second son of the Gu family. After all, the second son of the Gu family plans to take the imperial examination in the future.
As long as he can become a small official, the Gu family will have no worries about having a good life.
When Boss Gu heard Lu Yan's name, he couldn't help but frown.
"You tactless thing, just wait." Boss Gu turned over and covered his stomach with the quilt: "Our mother has plenty of ways to deal with her!"
The same scene was also happening in the third room.
As for the fourth room, Wan Mei was staring at the oil stains on the little mute's lips.
Even though the little mute only ate a piece of meat, this means that the fourth room can make a breakthrough on the fifth room's side.
"Is the meat your fifth aunt gave you delicious?" Wan Mei looked at the little mute expressionlessly.
The little mute was stunned for a few seconds, and finally nodded cautiously.
Hearing this, Wan Mei glared at the little mute in anger: "What did I teach you, mother? You are just a little bastard. You should give me the good things when you have them! When I give birth to a brother for you, you will have all the good things to eat. You will also have someone to rely on when you go to your husband's family, right?"
After Wan Mei finished speaking, the little mute lowered his head subconsciously.
In fact, children cannot understand many of the words their mother said, but the little mute knew that her mother's words were full of malice towards her.
Just at this moment, the fourth son of the Gu family walked in from outside.
As soon as Wan Mei saw her husband, she started to feel wronged: "Brother Yuan, look at this kid! No matter what I say to her, she just acts like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water! It's so boring!"
Gu Laosi lowered his head and glanced at the little mute.
Gu Laosi also dislikes this daughter.
Unlike Gu Erniu from the third brother's family, at least she is sweet-mouthed and can coax people. She often helps the third room to coax good things from the old lady.
"She's just a mute. It's not the first day you've known this." Gu Laosi sat on the edge of the bed, wiping the sweat off his body with a handkerchief: "It's only April, why is it so hot..."
Gu Laosi's complaint only earned him a roll of the eyes from Wan Mei.
"The fifth wife gave this little loser meat to eat!"
As soon as Wan Mei said this, the air suddenly became quiet.
Gu Laosi turned his head and looked at the little mute in disbelief.
To him, the little mute was just a burden. But now that he heard that this burden had eaten the meat that he himself had not been able to eat, Gu Lao Si could not help but look at his daughter.
The little mute met his father's gaze and lowered his head uneasily.
At this moment, Gu Laosi felt that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
The food that Gu Laosi couldn't eat was eaten by a little girl. How could Gu Laosi not be angry?
Instead, he stared at the little mute with a vicious look on his face.
"I'm your father. Shouldn't I eat the good things first? What's a loser to eat?"
It has to be said that Gu Laosi and Wan Mei’s attitudes towards the little mute are almost exactly the same.
Hearing this, the little mute looked up again.
When the little mute saw his father's ferocious face clearly, he shuddered all over, then staggered and fell to the ground.
The little kid raised his head and looked at Gu Laosi with a face full of grievance.
Gu Laosi glared at her fiercely before speaking: "What are you looking at? Why don't you go back to sleep?"
As Gu Laosi's voice rang out, the little mute was so frightened that his whole body froze.
Then he walked out with his head down.
Wan Mei stared at the little mute's departing figure, a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "I think the truly capable ones in this family are still my fifth brother and his wife."
After Wan Mei said this, Gu Laosi turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
Wan Mei cleared her throat and looked at Gu Laosi seriously: "Didn't you see how much the old lady suffered at the hands of the fifth brother's wife today? The fifth brother didn't care... If it were me, I'd better win over the fifth branch."
"What you said, are you trying to win over the fifth room and be unfilial?"
Gu Laosi glared at Wan Mei, his eyes full of displeasure.
"Are you stupid? We can win them over secretly! This way, both sides will benefit. I think fifth brother's wife also likes the little mute very much. Maybe we can get a lot of things with the help of the little mute." Wan Mei said with shining eyes.
Gu Laosi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was also thinking about the feasibility of Wanmei's proposal.
At this time, in the main room.
Old man Gu held a pipe in one hand and looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes.
"Second son's wife, are you sure you can convince your father?" Old man Gu looked at Song Jiao'e tiredly. At this moment, the two elders of the Gu family and the second branch of the Gu family were in the room.
Song Jiao'e moved her body and leaned against Old Lady Gu.
"Dad, I'm not so sure either."
Song Jiao'e told the truth.
She accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Gu Laoer.
But Gu Laoer had married a wife in his early years and was now twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Song Jiao'e was a delicate young lady, and the precious daughter of Mr. Song's family. How could she willingly marry her daughter into the Gu family?
Therefore, after Song Jiao'e proposed to marry Gu Laoer, she was rejected by her father.
Song Jiao'e refused to give up, which led to the scene of her falling into the water.
But Mr. Song was such a shrewd man, how could he have hidden his daughter's thoughts from him? In a fit of rage, Mr. Song directly severed his relationship with Song Jiao'e.
This is also the reason why Song Jiao'e did not bring the maid of the Song family with her, but instead set her sights on Lu Yan and Yu Nian.
"Then..." Gu Laoer's face turned extremely ugly. Thinking of his situation today, he wanted to kill Lu Yan.
"Isn't this simple?" Song Jiao'e glanced at Gu Lao Er, and finally her gaze fell on the two elders of the Gu family: "At this point, the reputation of the fifth brother's wife cannot be saved! As long as her reputation is ruined, everyone will know that she is a fickle and scumbag, and only then can the reputation of the second brother be saved."
As soon as Song Jiao'e said this, Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu looked at each other.
I have to say, this is a good idea.
As long as Lu Yan lost her reputation, what did she matter? No one in the village would believe her.
"But this..." This time, Old Mrs. Gu hesitated.
There is no need for Mrs. Gu to tell you how important a woman's reputation is.
Moreover, if Lu Yan went out to fool around, it would be embarrassing for the Gu family.
"Mom, what does it matter? She's just a woman. When the time comes, you can ask Old Five to have her fortune told. You'll always find someone prettier than Lu Yan." Song Jiao'e said, then chuckled, "Men, after all, love Lu Yan's face, right?"
