Chapter 107: Shame
Everyone's words made Gu Chongshan feel ashamed. He also felt that he had indeed neglected the care of the third brother for so many years.
But he resented Gu Yan even more for buying the farm without telling him, embarrassing him in front of relatives and friends.
He had been holding this breath until now, and only let it out when he saw Gu Yan.
Seeing Gu Chongshan's angry questioning, Gu Yan said nonchalantly: "I didn't buy the farm, it was my wife's dowry.
Where would I get so much money to buy a farm?
As for asking Gu Bei to work on the farm?
Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this? Even if Zhuangzi isn't mine, who can stop him from going to work?
Besides, there are so many farms and shops in town, is it so difficult to find a job? Why doesn't he go?
"Isn't it because you're afraid of hard labor and don't want to do the hard labor? What's the matter? The farm is mine, and you just want to take the money without working?"
"Asshole, when did I say you only take the money and don't work? I said you have the money to buy the farm, why did you say you don't have any money when I asked to borrow it?
"I'm your father. Even if we had some conflicts before, can you just watch me humble myself to your second uncle for a little money?" Gu Chongshan said angrily.
"Why can't I? Who are you trying to borrow money for? Is it for me?
You borrowed money for your beloved second son, just to open a shop for him and do business.
"What? You've been working like a slave for your second son, and now you want to drag me into this?" Gu Yan said sarcastically without giving him any face.
"What do you mean by being a slave? When did I ever tell you to be a slave to him?
Besides, you are brothers, you should help each other. I am not refusing to pay back the money I borrowed from you.
If the second brother makes money from running a shop, will he still treat you brothers unfairly?" Gu Chongshan said.
"That's right, third brother, when I make money, I will take all of you out and never do this dangerous business of hunting again." Gu Bei also said from the side.
"Don't do that. There's no need. You kind fathers and filial sons, don't even think about taking me with you. I can only eat as much as the bowl can give me," said Gu Yan.
"Okay, you just don't care about your relatives, right? Get out of here, and I will pretend that I don't have you as my son." Gu Chongshan shouted loudly.
Gu Yan stood up, looked at Gu Chongshan deeply, then turned and walked out.
When Gu Nian saw that Gu Yan was really going to leave, Gu Nian and the others hurried over to persuade him: "Third brother, Dad was just saying that in anger, don't take it seriously, hurry up and apologize to Dad, and let Dad forgive you."
"Yes, Third Brother, hurry up and apologize to Dad and ask him to forgive you."
Gu Chongshan felt a little regretful after yelling, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Gu Nian and the others chased them out.
"Third brother, you don't have to be so stubborn. Just apologize to Dad and it will be over."
"Third brother, then..."
No matter what they said, Gu Yan didn't look back and walked out quickly.
Gu Yan happened to meet Li Yingdi.
Gu Yan didn't even look at Li Yingdi, and said directly to Li Wanqing: "Wanqing, let's go home."
In fact, Gu Chongshan’s roar just now was quite loud. Li Wanqing and the others heard it in the kitchen, and Li Wanqing had already come out.
"Okay, let's go." Li Wanqing saw that Gu Yan had a grim expression on his face, and followed him out without saying a word.
"Third brother, what are you doing? You are just short-tempered. It's just a few words with your father. It's not that serious." Zhang Dahua said with a stern face.
"Yeah, Third Brother, you're really too angry. How can you be angry with your own father?
Not to mention that dad just said a few words to you, even hitting you a few times was not normal, right?
"Old Third's family, you should stop following Old Third's lead." Zhang Cuihua is Zhang Dahua's niece and has always followed Zhang Dahua's lead.
For so many years, we have been acting in unison with the old couple Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua.
Seeing Zhang Cuihua seemingly trying to reconcile but actually gloating over someone else's misfortune, Li Wanqing stopped and said, "Zhang Cuihua, I'd also like to advise you: don't try to persuade others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. If you haven't experienced Gu Yan's pain, don't stand here and talk without any hesitation."
You may not feel sorry for what Gu Yan had lived before, but I do. I am saying this today: from now on, I will protect my man, and no one can make him angry.
We won’t come here unless there is something important in the future. Of course, if our parents need support in the future, we will not shirk our responsibility and will shoulder our share like other brothers.
Come on, husband, I'll make you something delicious when we get home."
Li Wanqing said this domineeringly, and without caring about their reactions, she pulled Gu Yan away.
Zhang Cuihua and the others were indeed stunned by Li Wanqing. They didn't expect that the weak Li Wanqing would protect Gu Yan so much.
Li Wanqing spoke in a loud voice and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
Of course Gu Chongshan also heard it, although he felt a little regretful about what he had just said.
However, Li Wanqing's words were like a slap in the face, making him angry and embarrassed.
"Don't stop them, let them go. From now on, I will pretend that I don't have this son." Gu Chongshan shouted in the house.
In fact, except for Gu Chuan, no one else wanted to stop him. After all, their relationship was not that good. Now that Gu Chongshan yelled like that, even Gu Chuan didn't dare to say anything.
Li Wanqing didn't care what Gu Chongshan and the others thought. She felt sorry for Gu Yan and felt sorry for him.
And what she said just now was serious. From now on, they will not care about anything other than Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua’s retirement.
"Husband, don't be sad. We won't come here again in the future." Li Wanqing said cautiously for fear of touching Gu Yan's sore spot.
"Well, we will live our own lives from now on. Thank you, wife." Gu Yan felt warm in his heart.
This was the first time in his life that someone had openly stood by him and protected him.
Although his grandparents loved him in the past, Gu Chongshan was their biological son after all, and Gu Bei and the others were also their biological grandsons.
So even if she loved him so much, she would just pat his head and tell him not to bother with them when he was wronged.
"Let's go. What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you when we get home." Li Wanqing was still worried that Gu Yan was feeling bad, so she wanted to make something delicious to comfort him.
Isn’t there a saying that there is nothing that can’t be solved by a delicious meal? If there is, then have two meals.
"I want to eat braised pork, boiled pork slices, spicy chicken, fried large intestines, and the clay pot rice you made last time, the one with Chinese sausage on top.
Let's stir-fry some bacon with the bamboo shoots. My wife, the bacon you make is also delicious..." Gu Yan recited a string of words without any hesitation.
Li Wanqing watched Gu Yan muttering about wanting to eat this and that, and he didn't look sad at all.
She immediately said angrily, "There are only two of us in our family. How can we finish eating all the food we make? You can only choose the three that you want most."
"Then I have to think about it carefully. What I want most is braised pork, and..."
Of course Gu Yan knew that two people couldn't eat so many dishes, he was just trying to please his wife because he was afraid that she would worry.
