Chapter 272 Zhiwen Returns Home
"Let's carry her to the kang first, old woman. When Yingdi wakes up, you can try to persuade him."
Old Mrs. Li agreed, and looking at the unconscious Li Yingdi, she thought secretly: My daughter, don't blame your mother in the future. I am doing this for your future.
While the Li family was plotting against Li Yingdi, Zhiwen also returned from school. It was their monthly vacation time, and Zhiwen was excitedly heading home, thinking about what delicious food his mother would make for them.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Zhiwen felt strange when he knocked on the door. Usually when he was on vacation from school, his mother would open the door in advance to welcome him. Why was their door closed today?
But Zhiwen didn't think much about it. Maybe his mother went out for something.
With a "creak", the door opened from the inside. Zhiwen was a little puzzled when he saw that there was someone inside whom he didn't know.
Could it be that there were guests at his house when he was not at home?
But he didn't expect that the person who opened the door would call out his name at a glance and even try to touch his head.
"Oh, you must be Zhiwen, you look really smart."
Zhiwen was still a little cautious, and swiftly dodged Dong Wan's hand and asked:
"Who are you? Why are you in my house? Why have I never seen you before?"
Dong Wan, who had been maintaining a virtuous smile, was stunned. She didn't expect that Gu Bei, this unreliable bastard, didn't tell Gu Zhiwen anything. Now, I'm afraid that her image in Gu Zhiwen's heart must have fallen to the bottom.
When someone knocked on the door, everyone else in the house heard it. Dong Wan asked who it was? Gu Bei said in surprise:
"It must be Zhiwen who's back. Counting the days, it's time for him to go home for vacation."
Dong Wan was delighted when she heard this. Her purpose of marrying into the Gu family was to win over Gu Zhiwen and become the mother of an official in the future.
Dong Wan immediately volunteered to open the door for Zhiwen. Gu Bei and the others had no objection. They also wanted the child to develop a good relationship with Dong Wan, which would be convenient in the future when Li Yingdi was gone.
But who would have thought that seeing Gu Zhiwen like this, he didn't even know that he existed. Now Dong Wan didn't know what to say, no matter how tactful she was. She could only turn around and shout:
"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, please come out for a moment."
Gu Bei was a little stunned after hearing Dong Wan's words. He couldn't imagine why the door was opened and he had to go in too.
When Gu Bei arrived at the door and saw Dong Wan's son looking at him with a very vigilant expression, he finally understood.
Oh no, I was so happy about getting married these past few days that I completely forgot what my parents asked me to do, which was to have a good talk with Zhiwen about this.
However, Gu Bei was very good at comforting himself. He thought: Zhiwen has been a sensible and good child since he was young, and he has always been able to understand his painstaking efforts.
"Dad, who is this woman?"
When Zhiwen saw that it was a woman who opened the door for him, he already had a bad feeling in his heart. When he saw that the woman also called his father over, his guess became even more certain.
Gu Bei felt a little embarrassed when his son asked him this. He coughed lightly and said:
"This is my new concubine. She can take better care of my daily life. You can just call her Aunt Wan."
After hearing what Gu Bei said, Gu Zhiwen widened his eyes, looked around the yard, and asked:
"Isn't it good enough that my mother takes care of your daily life? You actually married someone new. Where did you put my mother? Where is my mother? I want to see my mother."
Seeing that Gu Zhiwen dared to disobey him in front of his newly married Dong Wan, Gu Bei felt very humiliated and said angrily:
"What do you mean by your mother? Your mother is not filial to her parents-in-law, and can't take good care of her husband's food and daily life. I sent her back to the Li family."
What?! Gu Zhiwen was in disbelief. He had never imagined his father could be so heartless towards his mother.
"Dad, how could you do this? They say a wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned, yet you actually divorced my mother."
Seeing that his son and grandson were about to quarrel, Zhang Dahua could no longer sit still in the room and hurried out to stop them:
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense, he's just trying to scare you. Your mother hasn't been divorced at all. This morning we were discussing asking your mother to come home and talk to us old couple.
Your mother is not here now, maybe she went back to her parents' home."
Zhang Dahua glared at Gu Bei while speaking. Although the son was his biological son, the grandson was not adopted, and he was a grandson who had the potential to be very successful.
Seeing Zhang Dahua's eyes, Gu Bei knew that what he did was not right, so he didn't say anything.
Dong Wan, who was standing next to him, noticed Gu Bei's discomfort. Although she despised Gu Bei's behavior in her heart, she still had to pinch her nose and comfort him:
"Brother Gu's child is still young. It's normal for him to be upset and unwilling to call for help. We can teach him slowly in the future."
Gu Bei nodded and patted Dong Wan's hand with satisfaction. He felt that it was not easy to have someone in this family who understood him.
Gu Zhiwen had a stern face the whole time, and Gu Bei didn't smile when talking to him. He would ask from time to time:
"Dad, when are we going to bring Mom back? I haven't seen her for such a long time, and I miss her a little bit."
Gu Bei didn't want to take Li Yingdi back. He wished Li Yingdi would live in your house forever. Zhang Dahua saw Gu Bei's thoughts, but couldn't open his mouth to be the bad guy, so he had to change the subject:
"Look at the gift your Aunt Wan brought you—the finest four treasures of the study! Do you like them?"
Gu Zhiwen saw his grandmother's thoughts, but he didn't even look at the four treasures of the study, and said:
"A son never despises his mother's ugliness, and a dog never despises his family's poverty. What my mother buys for me will always be the best in my heart. What others buy for me is more expensive, so what? They don't have the same love and care that my mother gives me."
Zhang Dahua was choked by her grandson and was speechless.
At this time, Li Yingdi at Li's house also woke up. She didn't expect that she could be knocked unconscious by her own brother at her mother's house.
"Li Tianci, you bastard, are you going crazy?"
Old Lady Li was displeased when she heard Li Yingdi scolding her son, so she said:
"Yingdi, you should just stay put. You're getting married soon. Why are you arguing with your brother?"
Li Yingdi was completely bewildered. She had come back to her parents' home to argue, so why was she getting married again? Wasn't she already married to Gu Bei?
"Mom, you're confused. Who's getting married? Me?"
"Who else could it be but you? My parents married you off for 20 taels of silver as a betrothal gift."
Li Dalang was dissatisfied with Li Yingdi's scolding just now, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
