Mr. Gu is indeed a patriarch with a broad vision. He believes what is right and does not feel ashamed to apologize to his daughter-in-law.
As soon as these words came out, Brother Gu was completely embarrassed and his face turned red.
Mrs. Gu also lowered her head and dared not speak. She felt that the matter had become serious and she was in a situation that she could not handle.
In fact, when Li Qingyun said those words before, she was also angry with Gu's father and mother. Although her original body was very weird, it was indeed not easy for her to raise two children alone over the years.
But Mr. Gu's direct apology made her at a loss for words.
She did not choose to forgive the original body. After all, she did not have that right, so she simply remained silent.
"What the eldest family said today was indeed inappropriate. The sheep that the second family got were earned by Tingzhou with untold hardships for his wife and children. They can give it to whoever they want. Giving is a favor, and not giving is a duty. There is no principle that whoever has more should get more.
Besides, the second son’s wife has always been a good person. Whenever there is something good at home, she never forgets me and your mother. We always remember your kindness in our hearts.
The elders should apologize to your sister-in-law and never say these things again.
Now that the family has been divided, each one can make his own decision about his own things. Don't make things as ugly as today. Your mother and I have worked hard for half our lives, and we can't make our own decisions about our own things?
Even if I really give it to the second family, it's only right. I've been taking your thoughts into consideration all these years. Dabao and Erbao have grown up so big, and as a grandfather, I've never given them a single stitch. After all, they are the roots of my Gu family!"
As the old man spoke, he became more and more sad and angry. He just wanted to give his grandson a chicken to eat in a legitimate way, so how could it turn out like this? Didn’t the two children in the old family eat less before?
So he spoke in a harsher tone, and for the first time he lost face for the boss.
After hearing what Gu's father said, Mother Gu wiped her tears alone. She just thought that after the family was divided, she could openly give some of her own things to her grandson, but how did it turn out like this?
Brother Gu felt ashamed after hearing what his old father said.
Although everyone has laughed at him for not having a son over the years, his parents have always comforted him and told him that it doesn't matter, a daughter is just as good.
Thinking that his father cared most about the roots of the Gu family, he was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it was indeed his wife who was making a fuss out of nothing.
In the past, although his parents were concerned about their two children, in order to take care of his feelings, they did not show any bias in their children's affairs. They had done well enough, and he could not ask for too much. It was impossible to treat them equally.
Li Qingyun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. The old man was really angry this time and didn't even give face to Brother Gu.
She actually understood the old man's thoughts. Although he said that he did not favor boys over girls, he inevitably favored the men in the family in his heart. It was the sadness of this era, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
Besides, her family is also the beneficiary, so it’s hard to say anything.
From an outsider's perspective, Mr. and Mrs. Gu are much better than those parents in the village who always talk about their sons and grandchildren.
She was also glad that when Gu's mother sent the pheasant over, she insisted that she accept the mutton. It was an alternative exchange, and it was acceptable for everyone's face. If Gu's mother had not accepted it, who knows what would have happened now.
Brother Gu knew that he had disappointed his father and was about to say something.
Mrs. Gu was unhappy after hearing what her father said.
She also had a fragile nerve in her heart, which was that she had not given birth to a son for many years after getting married.
These words from Gu's father not only embarrassed Brother Gu, but also hurt her heart.
"Dad, what do you mean by this? Isn't it just that I failed to give your Gu family a boy?" She stood up and said loudly.
"Enough!" Brother Gu shouted even louder than her.
"Aren't you embarrassed enough? Apologize to your sister-in-law right now."
"I won't, I won't. Why should I apologize? She even hit me with something. You are biased and siding with the second son's family. You think you can bully me because I don't have a son. Let's wait and see." After Mrs. Gu yelled these words crazily, she rushed out.
Gu's father and mother were also unhappy. It was the first time that their daughter-in-law pointed at their noses and accused them of being partial. Why did she bully her? Why didn't she say she was bullying when they were enjoying good food and drink?
Brother Gu looked at Li Qingyun with an apologetic look on his face: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on her behalf. She just can't change her mind at the moment."
Li Qingyun used to think that this uncle was trustworthy and was honest, simple and sincere. But now it seems that it was just a superficial phenomenon. People are selfish when it comes to their own interests.
She didn't want to get involved in their farce anymore, so she decided to stay away from them. Anyway, there wouldn't be many chances for them to meet after she joined the army next year.
Li Qingyun stood up and waved her hand, saying, "That's not necessary. You haven't let me down. You've let down our parents. They've worked so hard to support you all these years. Even if we haven't done anything for you, we've worked so hard. Don't let them feel disappointed."
After she finished speaking, she handed the package she brought to Gu's mother: "Mom, this quilt is for you and Dad. I came here to deliver something, but I didn't expect it to cause such trouble. I'm not in a good mood and disturbed your peace. The child is still at home, so I'll go back first. Let me know if you need anything."
Li Qingyun took one last look at Brother Gu, turned around and left without hesitation.
Mother Gu called from behind: "We have a quilt, you can take it back and use it yourself."
Li Qingyun waved without looking back and went home.
Gu Tingchuan recalled the look Li Qingyun gave him and thought a lot of things. He felt that Li Qingyun was mocking him. A grown man couldn't even handle such a small household chore, and he was still longing for his parents' things and making his parents worry about his own affairs.
He felt very uncomfortable, especially her last sentence, "Don't let the old man feel disappointed", which made him feel even more upset.
The second son's family is capable and sends mutton and quilts to the old man. But my own daughter-in-law only knows how to fight for the old man's things. When she fails to get them, she makes a big fuss and makes the old man unhappy.
What could he do? His wife was just that kind of wife, unable to give birth to the son his parents wanted.
When Gu's mother opened the package, she found a quilt that was about 70% new and quite thick. She had been worried about her old man's severe leg pain in winter. The quilt at home had been used to the point of being lumps together and was not warm at all.
She didn't expect that the second son's family would send her a quilt, which really warmed her heart. Although the second son's wife had caused them a lot of worries in the first few years after she came into the family, she had been getting better and better recently, and was very kind to the old couple.
"Old man, with this quilt, your life this winter will be much better!" Mother Gu said happily while hugging the quilt.
