Chapter 86 Asking for Forgiveness
Seeing that his elder brother disliked him, Old Man Zheng knelt down immediately.
He said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me."
But the village chief didn't want to talk to him any more, so he sent him away.
"Go away, take good care of your son and don't come here again."
After saying that, he ordered them to leave.
Old Man Zheng had no choice but to leave Gujia Village dejectedly.
After Old Man Zheng left, the village chief's house fell into silence.
The village chief still had a sullen face and was smoking his pipe. The lingering smoke seemed to shroud the deep sorrow in his heart.
The village head's wife looked at her husband, sighed softly, sat down next to him, and said softly: "He came today to find you to resolve the grudge. Why do you have to be so hostile to him? What can't the two brothers talk it out? Life has to go on, and we have to look forward."
The village chief knocked his pipe heavily on the corner of the table and said in a muffled voice: "See? How would my poor daughter see? If he had just extended a hand at that time, the child wouldn't have..."
Before he could finish his words, his voice was already choked with sobs.
The village chief's wife held his hand and comforted him, "I understand, I understand everything. He came here today for two reasons. One is for you, he wants to resolve the knot with you, and the other is to apologize for the Shi family."
As for Old Man Zheng, after returning home, he went straight to his son's room. Looking at his son covered in wounds, he was still angry.
He instructed the housekeeper, "Keep an eye on the young master from now on, and don't let him go out and cause trouble again. This time the young lady was generous and let him go, otherwise he would have to stay in jail for his behavior."
"You know the young master's temper best. We really can't control him."
"Then find a few people to break his legs, so that he can never leave the house for the rest of his life."
Hearing his father saying this to him, Zheng Yuanhao, who was lying on the bed, began to howl like a ghost.
"I want to go out, I want to go out, I want that little girl."
Zheng Yuanhao is quite persistent.
As a result, the next sentence almost made Old Man Zheng angry to death.
"Dad, let me tell you, if you don't let me marry that girl, I will find a prostitute and bring her home."
"How dare you! You little bastard, you never give me peace of mind. How could your mother, who is such a good person, give birth to a bastard like you?"
"Like father, like son. Didn't you also steal your brother's wife? As far as I know, my mother was my eldest uncle's wife at the time. It was you who insisted on having her, and then your father and mother persuaded your eldest brother to give my mother to you."
It was a bit embarrassing for him to have his son reveal his ugly deeds in the past. Besides, there was still a housekeeper around. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public.
"Butler, please go down first. I want to have a good chat with the young master."
"good."
After the butler left, he considerately closed the door.
Then the father and son had a long talk in the room.
"What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? You're talking nonsense even with the housekeeper there. What do you, a child, know about what happened back then? Don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When I was a kid, I was disobedient and made my mother angry. She told me this herself. Is it possible that it is false? Your mother, my mother, would lie to me."
Speaking of Xiu'er, she is also a miserable person.
She finally lived a good life with this husband for a few years, but unexpectedly, the child died of a disease when she was seven or eight years old.
So since his wife passed away, Old Man Zheng has raised the child alone.
Old Man Zheng felt that he owed his child something because of the death of his wife, which led to this child becoming arrogant and domineering. It has a lot to do with his father that he became what he is now.
So it seems a bit too late to discipline children strictly now.
But the child had become like this, and he couldn't just ignore it, so he had to say to him earnestly: "As long as you correct yourself and be a good son, I will let you marry a wife. Otherwise, this huge family business will be squandered by you in the future."
Zheng Yuanhao couldn't listen to what was said at this time.
After a few days, things finally calmed down.
Gu Leyou began to worry about the child's condition again.
So he made an appointment with the young doctor to go to a deep mountain to collect herbs.
Yesterday morning after they had breakfast, the two of them agreed to meet at the entrance of the village.
But they didn't expect that the first time they met, they would run into the person they least wanted to see.
That was her great aunt.
When the aunt saw that he was with another man, and that he was her favorite little doctor, she started speaking in a sarcastic tone again.
"Oh, you are really in a good mood. You are not with your husband, but with the little doctor. What is your intention?"
"Aunt, did you not brush your teeth this morning? Why does your mouth stink? Can you speak properly? Lu Yan and I are fine. I just went to collect herbs with Xiao Shen. How am I bothering you?"
The young doctor also spoke up for Gu Leyou.
"That's right, auntie. You are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos. You are afraid that others don't know. I respect you as an elder, but I didn't expect you to speak so harshly."
This young miracle doctor is Yang's valued future son-in-law and he must not be offended.
If Yang offended him, it would be disastrous if her daughter couldn't get married in the future.
When the aunt heard what the little doctor said, her face turned pale and red. Although she was annoyed, she didn't dare to really offend the little doctor, so she could only laugh dryly and soften her tone a little: "Oh, I saw this girl with a stranger so early in the morning, and I was afraid that others would gossip about her. I also had good intentions."
Gu Leyou snorted coldly: "Aunt, we can't afford your kindness. You should worry more about your own family affairs." After that, he pulled the little doctor and wanted to leave.
The sheep were for their own benefit, so the girl had no choice but to let them go. After all, she didn't want to cause trouble. If the village chief found out, he would blame her for meddling in other people's business.
Yang was actually a girl from another village. Since she married the eldest son of the Gu family, she has been staying in Gujia Village and rarely returns to her parents' home.
He would only go back if someone from his mother's family came to inform him that something happened, otherwise he seldom went back.
Thinking back to when she got married, her mother taught her a lot of ways to manage the household a few days ago, so she became the person that Gu Leyou hates now.
This is something Gu Leyou only figured out later.
As for Zheng Yuanhao, he spent a few days in a daze.
He had a dream, a dream that made him think clearly.
In his dream, he saw his mother who had passed away many years ago.
Mother was still as beautiful as she was when she was young. Xiuer said to him, "My child, I am sorry for not being able to be with you for so many years. I have spent so many years with your father, and I have regrets. I hope you can take your place and accompany your father, and take care of him until the end of his life."
After Xiu'er said these words, Zheng Yuanhao woke up.
