Upon hearing Gu Huadong's words, everyone turned to look at him.
Li Yaxian was stunned, completely dumbfounded. How did things turn out like this? It turned out that they had only kept it from her.
The old man and woman knew about it, but they treated her like an outsider.
Those who need to know already know, so they're just being wary of her. What do the old man and woman mean by this?
So many people knew about it, yet they kept it from her and excluded her. She had been married into the Gu family for over twenty years, working hard to take care of the children and be filial to her in-laws, but in the end, they only treated her as an outsider.
This realization made her very unhappy.
I feel so nauseous.
With a murderous glint in his eyes, he turned around and smiled at Gu Yuanhong, who was enjoying his meal. Gu Yuanhong, who was eating, felt a chill run down his spine and had a bad feeling.
I was just about to put some food in my wife's bowl, and the chopsticks had barely moved...
A hand reached out from below and pinched his thigh hard, twisting it with all its might, as if it wanted to tear off a piece of his thigh flesh.
Holding his breath, he struck with deadly force. Gu Yuanhong felt a sharp pain and jumped up from his seat.
Gu Yuanhong was completely bewildered. How had he offended this young lady? Why was she treating him so cruelly?
Suddenly, someone jumped up at the dinner table and became the focus of everyone's attention. Gu Yuanhong, realizing his rudeness, smiled awkwardly and explained.
"A cockroach just crawled onto my leg, and I got a fright... so..."
Gu Huadong pinched his brow helplessly. An old man like him was afraid of cockroaches. Wasn't he ashamed to admit it?
It's a shame he was a soldier before...
They're really useless.
"Now that the cockroaches are gone, can we have a peaceful meal?"
Gu Yuanhong had never been so embarrassed. He used to think that although Li Yaxian had a bit of a temper, she was at least sensible.
He made a huge fool of himself in front of the younger generation today, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
Why can't you talk about things privately? Playing these kinds of tricks in public is really disrespectful.
For the first time in his life, Gu Yuanhong got angry and gestured with his eyes to indicate what was going on.
Li Yaxian shrugged and whispered in Gu Yuanhong's ear.
"You'd better explain this to me, or I'm not done with you."
Gu Yuanhong looked helpless. "I knew nothing about this. I've always been on your side, how could I possibly help Gu Sinian keep such a big thing from you?"
He understood; this woman had made him lose face in front of the younger generation over such a trivial matter… He glared at her angrily…
This woman is all his fault for spoiling him too much; now she's not giving him any face at all...
"I'll settle the score with you later."
Li Yaxian gave him a "you know what's good for you" look, then turned her head angrily to look at Gu Sinian and Su Ying sitting below.
“Moving out is not such a simple matter. As far as I know, housing in Willow Village is quite tight, and there are simply no extra rooms for you to live in.”
"Even the houses built at the new mine in the educated youth settlement were funded by the higher-ups. Are you two planning to sleep on the streets if you move out?"
Gu Sinian and Ms. Li Yaxian have never been able to agree on anything. The red brick house is still under construction and will take at least another month to be completed.
There will definitely be nowhere to go for one month of that time.
Upon closer reflection, it's not that there's nowhere to go; doesn't Su Ying have her own space?
I occasionally visit my online space to ease the pain of longing.
Moving out is inevitable, so it's good to say it now. After all, Su Ying's red brick house is unique in Willow Tree Village, and it's easy to find out who built it. There's no way to hide it.
He had discussed this matter with his grandparents long ago, and they strongly supported all his ideas, unlike Ms. Li Yaxian, who wanted to keep her by his side.
Su Ying's money came from legitimate sources, so she wasn't afraid of the Red Armband officers investigating.
Even if he was a regimental commander who had been demoted for committing a crime, there would be no problem with him living with her. Now that he and Su Ying are married, it is perfectly reasonable for them to live together.
He didn't want to drag Su Ying into the mess of the Gu family; he just wanted her to live happily, and he asked for nothing more.
The reason Grandpa kept the second branch of the Gu family was simply to lure out the snake from its hole and expose the venomous snake lurking behind the scenes.
“Yingying has built a large red brick house, which will be completed in about a month. We will have a place to live, so Ms. Li Yaxian will not need to worry about it.”
It's Ms. Li Yaxian again. This title suddenly appeared yesterday. This unfilial son won't even call her "Mom" anymore.
All I did was give him some medicine.
Is it necessary to get this angry?
Old Gu has already severely reprimanded her for drugging her. Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over such a small matter?
Are we really going to sever ties?
She wants to move out; she's dreaming. It seems she's planning to ignore her completely and move out to live her own life.
"You're married but don't stay home to serve your in-laws. You're even trying to get my son to move out. You're such a femme fatale! What are you really up to? What are you trying to do?"
After scolding Su Ying, she immediately started scolding Gu Sinian, "You have the nerve to live in a house built with the money of a capitalist's daughter? Don't you care about the reputation of our Gu family? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about and called a son-in-law? Our Gu family can't afford to lose face like that."
Marrying into another family is not unacceptable to him. Yingying's father, Xu Zhiming, married into the family, so it's not unacceptable for him to become Su Ying's son-in-law.
He was afraid that saying the words "marry into the family" would hurt his grandparents' feelings, so he held back. Strictly speaking, he was the only male grandson of the Gu family, so marrying into the family was impossible.
"I have done nothing wrong and I have no right to do anything. Let others say what they want. They have mouths and can say whatever they want. I don't want to care, and I can't care. Besides, I'm not a son-in-law."
