Chapter 237 Bad Intentions
By the time Guo Erlang returned home, everything was settled.
"How come you don't know how to take care of our little family? All the things have been divided up by the eldest brother and the third brother. What will we eat and drink in the future? Why did I marry a spendthrift woman like you?"
Guo Erlang angrily scolded Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang was not the type to just accept things, so she cursed directly:
"Guo Er, you damned thing, who is to blame for our family's current situation? How dare you say that?"
Guo Erlang was furious and wanted to slap Gu Xiang twice immediately.
I raised my hands and suddenly realized that my parents would not help me anymore.
If he chased Gu Xiang away, no one would come to repay his debt, so he put his hand down.
Guo Erlang's eyes suddenly drifted to Zhaodi, who was huddled in the corner of the room, and he had an idea.
He immediately waved towards Zhaodi and coaxed her:
"Zhao Di, come here, come to Daddy, Daddy will take you to buy some delicious food."
Perhaps Guo Erlang's ferocious image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds, so even now, he still looked pleasant. Zhaodi didn't dare to move forward, her small body shrinking even more.
"You little bastard, you really have to make your father use force, right?"
Seeing that Zhaodi didn't move, Guo Erlang didn't have the patience to continue coaxing her.
He walked straight to Zhaodi, grabbed her, and was about to go outside.
"Mother, mother!"
Zhaodi screamed in a shrill voice.
When Gu Xiang came to her senses, she saw this scene and hurriedly dropped what she was holding and tried to snatch Zhaodi back.
"Guo Er, are you crazy? Zhaodi is your daughter after all. Where are you taking her?"
Guo Erlang snorted and said nonchalantly:
"She's just a money-loser. If I can raise her for two years and earn some money for her, it'll be worth it.
Stop nagging me. If I get too angry, I'll sell you off and marry a virgin girl to have a son."
Seeing that she couldn't win against Guo Er, Gu Xiang felt a little motherly and shouted towards the yard:
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Help! Guo Er, this inhuman guy, is trying to sell his own daughter."
Now Old Man Guo and Old Lady Guo could no longer sit still. Although they disliked their granddaughter and thought she was a money-loser, they did not say that they wanted to sell her. This would make people stab them in the back.
"Second brother, what are you doing? Even when our Guo family was at its poorest, we didn't have to sell our children."
Seeing his biological father coming, Guo Erlang softened his tone and put Zhaodi on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Xiang hurriedly hugged Zhaodi and looked at her without blinking.
Guo Erlang also said in front of Old Man Guo,
"Dad, I'm so heartbroken. I originally thought I could make back my money. Not only could I make back my investment, but I could also leave some extra money for the family."
The first half of the sentence is true, but the second half is purely made up by Guo Erlang.
Not to mention not making a profit, even if he did, he would just invest all his money in it and gamble again.
"As for Zhaodi, those people are going to chop off my hands if I don't pay back the money. If I don't sell Zhaodi, how will I get the money for my son?"
"But you can't sell Zhaodi!"
Gu Xiang shouted excitedly.
When Guo Erlang saw this scene, he simply shrugged and said, "I don't care about anything else."
"Then I can't control it. Anyway, we are still short of three taels of silver. Gu Xiang, you go and find a solution.
If I don't see the money by the due date, I will definitely sell Zhaodi off. You can't just keep looking at this money-losing thing."
"You are so shameless."
Gu Xiang cursed angrily.
Turning to Mrs. Guo and the others, Gu Xiang felt that Mrs. Guo and the others also had children, and could understand his feelings and were willing to help her.
"Sister-in-law, it turns out that I was wrong to quarrel with you, but Zhaodi is innocent.
Even if you don't look at me and Guo Er, just look at how small and pitiful Zhao Di is, and at least help us."
Although Mrs. Guo felt sorry for Zhaodi for having such unreliable parents, she couldn't even take care of her own children, not to mention that Guo Er was short of three taels of silver.
It's real money, and it's from my brother-in-law's family, with whom I have a bad relationship. Who would want to get involved?
Mrs. Guo pretended not to hear what Gu Xiang said, turned around and went back to her room.
Gu Xiang also understood Mrs. Guo's attitude. Looking at the ferocious Guo Er next to her, she felt like she had walked into a den of wolves.
At night, Gu Xiang didn't dare close her eyes, for fear that once she fell asleep, her daughter would be gone when she woke up.
Gu Xiang thought about it all night and felt that it was unrealistic for her to go to her parents' home to ask for money.
Although my mother seems to be nice to me, this is only compared with my sisters-in-law.
Gu Xiang dared not guarantee that as long as she asked for money, she would infringe on the interests of her brothers.
Her sisters-in-law don't even need to do anything, her mother will make sure Gu Xiang is kicked out first.
Gu Xiang thought about it all night but couldn't come up with any good solution.
Kick the guy out. Gu Xiang suddenly had an idea. If she couldn't borrow money, she could introduce a guy in the county to Da Nv and earn some commission.
With an idea in mind, Gu Xiang no longer lay down.
As soon as it was dawn, he went to find the matchmaker. After asking her, he confidently took Zhaodi to Gu Nian's house.
"Sister-in-law!"
Zhang Cuihua heard someone calling her early in the morning. When she looked closely, she found that it was her sister-in-law.
I started to wonder in my heart, this Gu Xiang never comes to see me without a reason, why is she suddenly so attentive to me, it must be something bad.
Gu Xiang saw that Zhang Cuihua looked unhappy, and she knew what she was thinking, but she didn't care and said:
"Sister-in-law, I'm here with good news. I've found a good match for our eldest girl."
When Zhang Cuihua heard this, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly welcomed Gu Xiang into the house.
"Sister-in-law, I really won't lie to you this time. This family only has one son and three older sisters. The future family property will belong to him alone, and he will have three older sisters-in-law to help him."
Zhang Cuihua was not a fool, so she asked back.
"With such good conditions, you only like our big girl. I'm not being self-deprecating, our conditions are indeed here."
Gu Xiang deliberately hesitated for a moment. She knew that if he was perfect, Zhang Cuihua would hesitate, but a few flaws would make Zhang Cuihua make up her mind.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not slowing you down. This guy is a little short, but he can still grow. He has real conditions."
Zhang Cuihua also thought it made sense. You said that when you get married, there must be one good thing about the person. If everything about the person is good, people will think you are a liar.
But there is no need to worry about this, and Zhang Cuihua feels that the good conditions are not unfair to her daughter.
"Then it's settled, sister-in-law. Let the girl stay with me for two days and see the people."
Gu Xiang said.
