Pan's mother believed that she was not ashamed, but the Cheng family was ashamed. "Mr. Cheng, are you still human? First you abused and abandoned my daughter, and now you are messing with my son, causing him to lose his future. If the Cheng family doesn't give me an explanation today, I will make the first and second courtyards know about the Cheng family's scandal."
No matter how much she swore and cursed, no one in the Cheng family paid any attention to her.
I watched Pan's mother perform a one-man show quietly and treated it as a show.
Sister Wan and Brother Chen were sitting in the yard eating melon seeds, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
The couple had seen too many such bloody scenes in Xiangyang Village.
Pan's mother cried and made a fuss, and simply sat on the ground and slapped her thighs, trying to arouse more sympathy and pity from the onlookers.
In the end, only Grandma Gu Qiulin, who was staying at the Gu family next door, poked her head out to look around, while the other neighbors did not make any movement.
Pan's mother knew the identity of Gu Qiulin's mother-in-law. She was called Old Lady Xu. She was a difficult woman in the neighborhood who liked to meddle in everything. Because of Gu Qiulin, she was used to bullying others.
"Aunt Xu, you are kind and fair, please help us judge. You are also a mother-in-law, and you have such a good relationship with your daughter-in-law. You must not be used to such vicious relatives who torture their daughter-in-law and bully their in-laws, right?"
"I consider the Cheng family my own family, but the Cheng family looks down on us for being peasants. My son Pan Xiong works diligently at his post, but the Cheng family fired my son without a word. Is it so difficult for me to seek justice?"
"Just because the Cheng family is one of the top five noble families, can they be so arrogant as to cover the sky with one hand and kill all the relatives?"
Old Mrs. Xu was flattered by her and couldn't help but put on airs as an elder, ready to lecture Gu Wanwan and the others.
However, at first glance at Gu Wanwan, she felt that she looked very familiar, as if she knew someone she knew. She couldn't remember who it was for a while. "Mrs. Cheng was a daughter-in-law who eventually became a mother-in-law. How could she have the nerve to impose the difficulties she encountered on her daughter-in-law? Even an outsider like me can't stand it."
Gu Wanwan looked at Old Lady Xu, the coldness in her eyes deepened. When she was brought to the Xu family by Gu Qiulin, the three siblings suffered a lot from the old woman's troubles. At that time, the siblings were malnourished and submissive, which was very different from now. No wonder the old woman didn't recognize her. "Second Aunt has never been troubled by Grandma Cheng. What does the Cheng family's affairs have to do with you? Aren't you an old woman who has taken over the magpie's nest? You still have the nerve to help preach."
Old Mrs. Xu was stunned by the scolding, "You stupid girl, how can you talk to your elders like that?"
Gu Wanwan laughed, her laugh was extremely sarcastic, "You old girl, you are a worthless elder. Am I related to you by blood? Others are afraid that you are Gu Qiulin's mother-in-law, and they respect you a little. I am not as cowardly as them. Gu Qiulin is very proud of herself. You are an ungrateful fake daughter and an ungrateful bastard. Her scandals are known to the upper five families. No one wants to deal with the current Gu family because you are the running dogs of the lower five families."
Fu Jingchen then confronted her, "Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue, but you have to choose the right person. You, an old woman, don't deserve it. Everyone praises you for having a good relationship with your mother-in-law, but I can't see past the superficial efforts. For the sake of a house, you and your mother-in-law still broke up. Do you know why Gu Qiulin wanted to overturn the house? It is said that there are dozens of boxes of money and treasures hidden underneath. Just those boxes of banknotes, can you imagine several lifetimes of wealth? It is the hidden dowry that the Gu family gave to Gu Qiulin. Your Xu family doesn't know, right? It shows that she is on guard against you and knows that your Xu family is unreliable."
"You are such a failure as a mother-in-law. You don't even have the power to manage the family. You have to look at your daughter-in-law's face for everything. Gu Qiulin is rich, but she is stingy and unwilling to support the entire Xu family. I won't be surprised if the other sons of your Xu family are kicked out of the house one day."
“You, you, you…” Old Mrs. Xu almost died of anger. Although the other party’s words were harsh, they were the truth. She and Gu Qiulin had a rift because of the house demolition incident. Later, Gu Qiulin stopped giving her monthly pocket money, leaving her other sons with no money. This gradually deepened her strong dissatisfaction with Gu Qiulin.
The gratitude for a little bit of money and the resentment for a big bit of money are particularly evident in the Xu family. Without their monthly pocket money, wouldn't the Xu family feel resentful?
Gu Qiulin temporarily settled the Xu family in the Gu family, but the Xu family did not appreciate it. They had thought about taking over the Gu family, but they did not expect that Gu Huai'en's family was not an easy person to deal with.
Now the Gu family seems calm on the surface, but in fact there is serious internal strife. Quarrels every few days are common, and it is just a family disgrace.
But now we have learned from outsiders that Gu Qiulin has been digging for treasure without telling her family, intending to embezzle all the treasures without letting the Xu family know.
Remember what Gu Qiulin said to her at the beginning, there is an ancestral night-shining pearl underneath, a night-shining pearl is a night-shining pearl, it is not a rare commodity nowadays, is it necessary to give up the house?
She finally understood and hated Gu Qiulin. "This traitorous Gu Qiulin, I treated her as my own daughter, took care of her and served her, and gave in to her in everything at home. But she actually guarded against the Xu family. Once she entered my Xu family, she is a member of my Xu family. Her dowry belongs to my Xu family. Why didn't you let me know?"
Fu Jingchen tried to sow discord in a serious manner, "Why should I let you know? She's just your mother-in-law, not your biological daughter. She has a pair of children to raise. Why should she raise the Xu family for you? Be careful that if you push Gu Qiulin too far, she might even divorce your son!"
The more Mrs. Xu thought about it, the angrier she got. She felt like she could breathe out smoke from her nostrils. "I won't let her succeed, bitch. I misjudged her. She wants to get rid of my Xu family? No way!"
Gu Wanwan raised her lips and sneered, "I think you should be careful about Gu Qiulin and Gu Huai'en having an affair. Gu Qiulin is really good to Gu Yarou and loves her more than your other grandchildren."
Old Mrs. Xu's blood pressure soared again in an instant, as if she had discovered some terrible scandal. Thinking back to how much Gu Qiulin valued Gu Yarou, and how their relationship was as close as that of mother and daughter. Moreover, her granddaughter Xu Luoxue and grandson Xu Xinbao were both close to Gu Yarou's family. Could it be that Gu Qiulin and her adoptive brother were really having an affair?
Doesn't that mean her son is cheated on?
Wait, if that’s true, then whose children are Gu Qiulin’s two children?
When Sister Wan and Brother Chen saw the expression on Old Lady Xu’s face, they knew that she was overthinking!
Mother Pan was stunned by what she saw, her jaw dropped in shock, "No, Aunt Xu, aren't you here to seek justice for me? How come you are hit by that damn girl? They love to talk nonsense, you can't believe it, if you believe it, you will be fooled..."
Old Mrs. Xu spat, "I don't even understand my own family affairs, how can I have the time to meddle in your family affairs? This Gu Qiulin has money but is not filial to her mother-in-law. I will never let her go..."
"Big brother, grab your weapons and beat Gu Huai'en up with me!"
The plastic relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke down so fragilely.
Gu Wanwan gave him a disdainful glance, "Old hag, you are alone and helpless again, who do you want to ask for help now?"
