Chapter 163 The Trouble
"Uncle, my name is Zhou Nuan, and this is my husband Gu Xiyue." Zhou Nuan said, and asked tentatively, "Uncle, what's your name?"
Zhou Nuan? Her last name is Zhou.
The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something and his eyes showed sadness, but he quickly came back to his senses, "I won't mention my name, Miss Zhou, thank you for coming to see me."
At this time, Gu Xiyue, who had been staring at the old man, spoke up, "Uncle, which department were you from before?"
The old man was slightly surprised. He glanced at Gu Xiyue and then looked away. He did not give a direct answer but said to Zhou Nuan, "It's cold. The child can't catch a cold. You should go back."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Xixi lovingly again, silently sat back on his little broken stool, and stopped talking.
They had no choice but to leave. Gu Xixi kept reaching out her hand to the old man and saying something incomprehensible until she left. She almost cried when she was carried away.
This was surprising. Gu Xiyue coaxed the little girl in his arms for a long time before she burst into laughter and started playing with her new empty gift box toy.
A family of three was walking towards home. When they were almost home, they heard bursts of noisy noises coming from the other side. They thought that everyone was playing, but when they listened carefully, they felt something was wrong.
Sharp screams mixed with discussions could be heard, including Qin Yuezhi's weak voice of defense.
Zhou Nuan and Gu Xiyue's expressions changed at the same time. They looked at each other and she said, "It sounds like my mother's voice."
Gu Xiyue's face darkened, and he quickly walked towards the source of the sound while holding Gu Xixi in his arms. Zhou Nuan quickly followed.
When I got closer, I found that a group of people had gathered in front of my house, pointing and talking.
Standing in the crowd were He Rongsheng and Zhou Chang. They had changed back into their previous tattered clothes and were now saying something with indignation on their faces.
In front of them, Qin Yuezhi slumped on the ground, holding Gu Xiaodong tightly in her arms, and arguing weakly, but her voice was drowned out by He Rongsheng's voice and could not be heard clearly.
Su Hang blocked Qin Yuezhi with his small body, holding on tightly and refusing to back off.
No one knew what Su Hang said, but Zhou Chang suddenly raised his fist high with a fierce look on his face, and he was about to punch down.
Gu Xiyue's eyes turned cold, and he put Gu Xixi into Zhou Nuan's arms, and he had already flashed in front of Zhou Chang. His movements were quick and decisive, and with one grappling move, the fat and strong Zhou Chang fell heavily to his knees on the ground.
Cold sweat broke out immediately, "Don't, don't!"
Gu Xiyue exerted force, but only heard a slight clicking sound, which was the sound of a bone being dislocated. Then Zhou Chang screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
He Rongsheng was so distressed that he cried out with his eyes wide open, "Gu Xiyue, let go! Zhou Nuan, Zhou Nuan! Let your man let go of your brother!!"
Zhou Nuan walked over slowly and looked down at the mother and son. "Brother? Will my brother do something to my family? Zhou Chang, what did you want to do just now?"
He Rongsheng glared at him, "This burden scolded your elder brother, your elder brother just wanted to discipline him for you, what's the problem?"
"Su Hang is not a burden. When will it be your turn to discipline my child?" Zhou Nuan said in a cold tone, "What did you do to my mother?"
"Your mother?" He Rongsheng screamed. "Who is your mother? You are such an ungrateful bastard. Your family raised you so well, but now that you are married, you turn your back on your family! I know that you are rich now and you think your family is poor and we are shameful, so you don't want to acknowledge us."
She turned to face the crowd, and two drops of horse urine squeezed out of her eyes, which seemed even smaller due to her fatness, as she made a sad accusation.
"Zhou Nuan, do you have a conscience? Because you cheated your mother's family out of all their money, your brother's marriage is ruined, your sister ran away from home because she didn't have tuition fees, and now she's nowhere to be found. Even your father fell ill because of you.
We had no other choice, we really couldn't borrow any money, so we came to you, but who knew you would be so ruthless and drive us out, Zhou Nuan, are you still a human being?"
She confused right and wrong, and her eyes were full of malice.
Since you won't give them money, then destroy her!
The confused people felt very sympathetic. They looked at the ragged He Rongsheng and his mother, and then at the well-dressed Gu family, and immediately believed it a little.
"Hey, Boss Gu, that's your fault. She is your mother-in-law after all."
"That's right, Zhou Nuan, these are your mother and brother, you can't treat them like this."
"What do you know? People's hearts change when they have money. They still care about their poor relatives. This is reality..."
Seeing that everyone was on her side, He Rongsheng was secretly happy.
You deserve it!
Qin Yuezhi was anxious and explained weakly, "No, our Nuannuan is not that kind of person. Relatives, you can't talk nonsense like that. When has Nuannuan ever cheated you of your money? She has always helped her mother's family."
"Mom," Zhou Nuan sneered, "Why should I explain to them? These people are just listening to rumors and acting as judges without knowing anything. Did you see it with your own eyes? Is what she said true? If I also wore tattered clothes and cried in front of you, would you think I was the pitiful one?"
After hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other in silence.
Zhou Nuan looked at He Rongsheng who was indignant, "I'm not a human? Then you are a human? You know exactly where Zhou Bing went. I just want to ask you, can you really sleep at night?
That's your own daughter. You sold one after another. Do you think I don't know? Do you want me to tell you everything you did?"
He Rongsheng choked and stared at Zhou Nuan, wishing he could eat her alive.
"Selling your daughter?"
"No way? Can you do such a thing?"
"I think it's true." Someone supported, "Zhou Nuan and Director Gu are both good people, and they look upright. How could it be like what she said? And look at the mother and son. Although they are wearing tattered clothes, there is not a speck of dirt between their fingers, and their faces are rosy. It's obvious that they eat well. How could it be like what she said?"
"Yes, yes. She looks so wretched, and doesn't look like a good person. Let's not let her use her as a tool."
He Rongsheng's breath got stuck in his throat.
You don't have to believe it, but it's wrong to attack someone's appearance.
Seeing that everyone had changed sides, she simply stopped pretending and said angrily, "What does it have to do with you? You don't have to interfere in what happens between me and my daughter!"
Zhou Nuan moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "Your daughter is gone. When you pushed me down the hill for the butcher's gift, I was no longer your daughter."
"That's right. Zhou Chang's marriage and Zhou Bing's affairs are all related to me. But that's because you did so many unjust things. You deserve it. Don't try to blackmail me morally. I won't fall for it."
