Chapter 99: Confident
Zhang Dahua was really sad this time because she was abandoned by the son she truly loved.
Although Gu Bei's action may have been subconscious, he had no intention of helping his mother-in-law.
But it is this subconscious action that hurts the most.
"Boss, let's go, let's go back." Zhang Dahua brushed away Gu Bei's hand and turned to Gu Chongshan.
Gu Chongshan didn't expect that Gu Bei would take sides in order to protect his mother-in-law.
He is now very disappointed with Gu Bei. Not to mention himself, Zhang Dahua, as his mother, has never done anything wrong to him.
Even because he had been in poor health since childhood, she loved him more than the other children.
Because of him, the third child was even sent to live with his grandparents, causing him to have a grudge against his family.
Moreover, Zhang Dahua is his wife who has spent half his life with him, so Gu Chongshan certainly feels distressed to see her like this.
I felt even more angry towards Gu Bei.
"Let's go back and pretend we don't have this son. I've already said that Gu Bei is a heartless ungrateful person, and you still don't believe me.
"From now on, just leave him alone. We raised him to adulthood, helped him get married and have children, and even opened a grocery store for him to support his family. We've already done him a great service." Gu Chongshan persuaded loudly as he helped Zhang Dahua walk out.
Gu Chongshan said it loudly on purpose. He just wanted Gu Bei to know that they had done nothing wrong to him and had done their best for him.
Gu Bei is heartless. He forgot his mother after getting married.
Especially since his mother had held him in the palm of her hand since he was a child, and even hurt and offended her other sons for him.
Not to mention the third brother Gu Yan, even in this incident, if the money is not returned, the fourth brother's marriage will change.
How could the fourth brother not resent Zhang Dahua for lending the money?
Zhang Dahua thought simply that it was just a matter of letting the fourth child get married later, and it was no big deal.
But Gu Chongshan didn't think so. If the fourth son's marriage was really ruined because of the second son, the fourth son would probably not only blame the couple.
The second and fourth children must have their own ideas.
By then, the father and son will fall out, and the brothers will turn against each other. This is not what Gu Chongshan wants to see.
This is also the reason why Gu Chongshan was so angry and determined to take the silver back.
Seeing Gu Chongshan supporting Zhang Dahua and about to leave, the onlookers quickly moved aside to make way for them.
The whispers of the people around them also reached the ears of Zhang Dahua and Gu Chongshan.
"This son-in-law of the Li family is really not a human being. He actually took sides and helped his mother-in-law beat his mother. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
"It's better not to have a son like this? He's so unfilial."
"A son like this is a complete ungrateful bastard. He should be strangled to death as soon as he's born."
…………
Even if everyone was whispering quietly, every word of these words entered Gu Bei's ears.
Gu Bei also felt very upset.
He also remembered how good Zhang Dahua had been to him over the years. It could be said that among his brothers and sisters, Zhang Dahua was the best to him.
He suddenly felt like a piece of shit. How could he treat the mother who gave birth to him like this?
He did not regret fooling Zhang Dahua and borrowing the money that the fourth brother had used for the betrothal. After all, brothers were not as important as himself.
But Gu Bei is still somewhat filial to Zhang Dahua.
Seeing Gu Chongshan and the other man walking away, Gu Bei also reacted and chased after them: "Dad, Mom, wait for me."
"Why are you chasing me? Go back. Be a good son-in-law of the Li family. Our Gu family can't afford a son like you." Gu Chongshan said sarcastically.
"Dad, I really didn't mean it. That's my mother. How could I let my mother-in-law hit her?" Gu Bei explained anxiously.
"You still know this is your mother? Okay, you don't have to say anything, we've given you everything we deserve.
You should take care of yourself from now on. Let me say one last thing: if you want to live a good life in the future, it’s best to separate from Li Yingdi.
Li Yingdi is a man with many ulterior motives and not a good one. He also cares too much about his mother's family.
If you continue to live with her, I'm afraid that even if you earn mountains of gold and silver, it will all end up in the Li family's pocket.
That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully." Gu Chongshan said this out of genuine consideration for Gu Bei.
But it was obvious that Gu Bei didn't listen. He had always liked Li Yingdi and had finally married her. It had only been a year, and the time was right when they were in love.
Besides, Li Yingdi is pregnant with his child now, how could she just give up?
But he didn't refute it. His parents were already angry, and if he said too much, they would be even angrier.
Let’s wait for a while until my parents calm down.
Gu Bei was not worried about Zhang Dahua being angry. He had been very experienced in coaxing Zhang Dahua for so many years.
Even though Zhang Dahua is angry now, in a few days if he acts coquettishly, acts pitiful, and says a few soft words, Zhang Dahua will forgive him.
It’s not like I haven’t made Zhang Dahua angry before, but I said a few nice words to comfort her, and now everything is fine.
How should I put it? Perhaps this is the fearlessness of favored children.
Gu Chongshan said so much, but seeing that Gu Bei still didn't agree, he knew that his son was determined to get entangled with the Li family.
He shook his head in disappointment, stopped talking, and helped Zhang Dahua walk away.
This time, Gu Bei did not follow. He stood there and thought for a while, then went to the town.
"Boss, do you think I did something wrong? I shouldn't indulge the second child like this." Zhang Dahua asked sadly halfway.
"Alas, the matter has passed. From now on, let's just pretend that we never raised this son." Since Gu Bei didn't catch up, Gu Chongshan knew that they could no longer count on this son in the future.
"Are we really going to ignore him? Now that his grocery store can't continue, what will happen in the future?
Also, boss, do you really want the second son to divorce his family?" Although Zhang Dahua was hurt by Gu Bei just now, she still couldn't let him go due to years of habit.
"Never mind, I can't do anything about it anymore, old woman, please don't bother with it anymore. If you continue to do so, the eldest and fourth sons in the family will become like the third son and become alienated from us.
The situation with the third brother has already come to this, and we can’t let the eldest and fourth brothers get upset anymore.” Gu Chongshan had a clear idea.
"But..." Zhang Dahua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Chongshan.
"There's nothing to worry about. If the second brother is willing to sever his ties with Li Yingdi, then he still has hope for the future.
But I don’t think the second brother will listen to me. He will suffer in the future.
I'm telling you again, don't bother with the second oldest brother anymore, and don't let him drag down the eldest and fourth oldest brothers." Gu Chongshan still had some foresight, and later Gu Bei did learn a great lesson because of Li Yingdi.
