"Ms. Li Yaxian is meddling far too much. She's just too idle and cares about those baseless things, which is why she's made such a mess of things."
"You thought that arranging a daughter-in-law for me who was of good character and who satisfied you would be the best help for me and the Gu family, and make me the biggest asset to the Gu family."
"Actually, that's not the case. Your thinking is too naive. There are too many pests in the Gu family. Even if I listened to you and married a daughter-in-law who was satisfactory to you and had a good family background, what difference would it make? She would just be a hopeless case."
Li Yaxian hated Gu Sinian's lecturing tone the most. His manner of speaking was exactly the same as the old man's. Looking at him was like seeing the old man when he was young, which made her unable to feel close to him.
"You...you said I'm a piece of trash?" Li Yaxian pointed to herself in disbelief.
"You admitted it yourself, I didn't say it."
Gu Sinian shrugged and didn't continue the previous topic, since talking about these meaningless topics with her was a waste of time.
Li Yaxian rushed over and hit Gu Sinian a few times, but Gu Yuanhong, who was quick-witted and agile, grabbed her.
"Let's talk about this after we finish eating. Don't cause any more trouble. Didn't you see how angry your parents are?"
Li Yaxian was only thinking about her own pleasure and forgot that the old man and woman were still there.
She was most afraid of the old man's dark face; it was terrifying. After all, he was a man who had been on the battlefield and killed Japanese soldiers, and his hands were stained with countless blood. Every time she saw him, she felt inexplicably afraid.
Gu Sinian couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled Su Ying and started to walk out. Su Ying followed with small steps; she didn't want to stay there either, it was too annoying.
"She's always so 'politically correct' and always 'helpful,' she's even more eager to sell her son than anyone else."
"What did you say!"
"Didn't you hear me? Let me say it again. I think you not only have epilepsy, but your brain is almost eaten up by worms. You treat someone like Qiao Xiyan like a treasure and even force your son to marry her."
"The Qing Dynasty has long since perished. I don't know where you get your sense of superiority. Although I come from a capitalist family, your background isn't exactly clean either. Why are you the one talking all the time..."
“I look down on your son because he was demoted due to a criminal record. Who is more noble than whom? And you even went after Qiao Xiyan, who has a good family background. Is someone like her considered to have a good family background? You're blind.”
"You...you...you...how dare you talk back to your elders like this...so rude, where has your manners gone?"
"You've eaten me up. I originally wanted to get along well with you, but you insult people all the time, and you even praised Qiao Xiyan, who didn't hesitate to break off her engagement when the Gu family was in trouble, to a very high level. I suspect you're mentally ill, and seriously so."
"Since you've made me unhappy, then nobody else should be happy either."
Li Yaxian pointed at Su Ying and couldn't speak for a long time. "You...you...you've gone too far...you brought back something like this to annoy me. Are you trying to kill me?"
Gu Yuanhong tugged at Li Yaxian's wrist, "Say less, you're driving Dad crazy..."
"That's enough! Everyone, let's all go home. If I keep eating this meal, I'll be two months short of life."
Gu Huadong and Yan Yan were not old-fashioned people, but they really couldn't eat in this atmosphere. They apologized to Su Ying for making a fool of herself.
I'll find another opportunity to have a proper meal with my granddaughter-in-law, preferably without those troublemakers from the second wife's side.
Otherwise, how could they eat? It would be a miracle if they didn't get sick from the stress.
The culprit behind today's events is the second wife. The eldest son's wife is clueless; she gets verbally abused by her own son after being provoked by others.
idiot.
That's incredibly stupid.
Gu Huadong sighed, slowly stood up from the bench, and called out to the two people who were walking out.
"etc."
The two men instinctively stopped upon hearing the sound and turned to look at Gu Huadong.
"Is something the matter, Grandpa?" Gu Sinian asked.
"You should take Su Ying back to the educated youth settlement to rest today. I handled things poorly today and made Su Ying feel frightened. Grandpa will treat you to a meal another time."
Su Ying smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa. I'll bring you something delicious another day."
Gu Huadong smiled and replied, "Okay, okay. Good boy. You've been upset today, don't stoop to the level of these brainless people."
"Whatever you heard that made you uncomfortable today, just forget about it once you leave the Gu family home. Just live a good life with Si Nian. Grandpa can tell that this kid likes you very much."
Su Ying nodded, "You are all elders, so I won't take anything you say to heart, Grandpa."
Gu Zhenhua looked pleased. What a good child she is! Why say she's not good?
Your eyes are probably covered in eye boogers.
Su Ying is not only beautiful and has a good personality, but most importantly, the two young people like each other, which is the most precious thing.
"Alright, alright. Take care. Come back another day to have dinner with Grandpa. Next time, I promise you won't have to see these disgusting things."
Su Ying nodded, accepting the old man's invitation, and took Gu Sinian's hand as they left the Gu family's cowshed.
As soon as the two came out, Su Ying took a deep breath. "It's so oppressive. The atmosphere in your house is really unbearable."
"The way they don't scold people during meals is perfect in your family. They chatter on and on, always saying the most hurtful things. Who has any appetite to eat? Grandpa and Grandma are furious."
"Why don't we go into the space later and pick out more medicinal herbs to send to Grandpa and Grandma, so they can take good care of themselves? Their health isn't good, and I'm afraid they might get sick from being angered by those Gu family bastards."
Gu Sinian shook his head helplessly, "No need. I still have the century-old ginseng slices you asked me to bring last time, so there's no need to send them for now."
He placed his hands on her shoulders and said apologetically, "Now you should know why I was so against you having too much contact with the Gu family, right?"
"Understood."
They know very well that you can't survive in the Gu family without a lot of resilience.
