"They are my cousins." Gu Wanwan said briefly. Although there was no direct evidence, the hexagram could not be wrong. Chen Nianyu and her two children were most likely the orphans and widows mentioned in the hexagram.
This time Zhao Guoming and his wife were really shocked, "What?!"
Zheng Shican and Hu Zhiming came back to their senses from their shock. No wonder Sister Wan took such good care of the siblings.
The brother and sister's faces changed from disbelief to excitement and confusion, but mostly they were filled with surprise. "Sister Wanwan, you are our cousin? Do we have other relatives besides dad?"
Gu Wanwan smiled lightly and quickly adapted to her cousin's identity. Regardless of whether she was a relative or not, she would accept her as her cousin first. As long as she had this relationship, she could naturally help the mother and her two children escape the abuse and manipulation of the Gu family. "Cousin is your support."
The brother and sister couldn't help crying with joy. The little one hugged each other and cried, "I want to go back and tell mom the good news."
Gu Wanwan held the siblings back and said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. You still have to seek justice from the captain's family."
Zhao Guoming and Aunt Lu looked at each other, both with helplessness and emotion in their eyes. They didn't expect that Gu Qingtang and her son, who were usually silent and hardworking, had such a powerful background. What should they do now?
Based on their understanding of Mrs. Gu, Sister Wan and the other two would be in big trouble.
"You two, just tell me, is Mrs. Gu being disrespectful again? I'll make the decision for you. I'll go to the Gu family with you later to see what Mrs. Gu has to say."
Gu Wanwan would not give him face just because he was the captain, "Old Zhao, this is the trouble caused by your family."
Aunt Lu knew the character of her daughter-in-law and grandson best. She slapped her thigh and said, "It's bad..."
Before Zheng Shican could complain, the eldest daughter-in-law Deng Xiunv saw her parents-in-law and rushed out of the house, dragging Zhao Goudan with her as if she had seen a life-saving straw. "Gu Wanwan, how dare you bring two bastards to our house? Do you think you are so great just because you saved my father-in-law and uncle's lives? Don't think that just because my mother-in-law calls you Sister Wan, you are the elder of our Zhao family. Usually, my parents-in-law are reluctant to beat Goudan, so why did you beat him?"
Sun Chunlian ran to the yard when she heard the noise. She did not step forward to break up the fight, but chose to watch coldly. Although her sister-in-law's words were harsh, Gu Wanwan had indeed gone too far. A new educated youth should not meddle in other people's business and extend her hands to the Zhao family. Gu Wanwan could beat Goudan today, and might beat her precious son tomorrow.
Deng Xiunv put eye drops in front of her parents-in-law and frantically criticized Gu Wanwan for all her faults. "Mom and Dad, please take care of Goudan. Gu Wanwan and the others are too bullying. They knew Goudan was our eldest son and grandson, but they still beat him. His eyes were swollen. They didn't care about us at all."
"I have never seen such a trouble-making educated youth. As soon as she arrived, the old educated youth disliked her. She offended Secretary Ding's family and provoked the Qingshan Brigade. The Qingshan Brigade will never let her go. My parents should not have helped her, so as to avoid being implicated by her."
"I also heard from the new educated youth that she cheated on Ma Lai-tsien on the train and sent him to the police station. She wasn't afraid that her husband, the company commander, would come after her. By now, I guess both Ma Lai-tsien's in-laws and her own families know about it, and they might even join forces to cause trouble."
"If you ask me, Gu Wanwan is a disaster. She has the nerve to come to our house to eat meat, and she comes with nothing. She has no manners at all. There is no need for my parents to invite them. What if they can't take advantage of us enough and come to the Zhao family to beg for food every day? We haven't even separated yet. I don't agree with using our family's food to support them."
Deng Xiuniu said what Sun Chunlian dared not say, and Sun Chunlian almost clapped her hands and praised her: Well done.
If the parents-in-law really wanted to help Gu Wanwan, they would decisively propose separation.
Zhao Goudan was the first to complain, while making faces at Gu Wanwan, "Grandpa and grandma, help me teach this money-loser a lesson. I'm dying of pain, especially those two bastards. They are jinxes. Just catch them and put them in a pig cage and drown them."
Gu Wanwan didn't like him, so she slapped him twice in front of the captain and his wife, "Apologize to my cousins, or I'll beat you to death. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the captain's grandson."
"Damn you, you bitch, let my son go..." Deng Xiunv rushed over to save her son, but was kicked away by Gu Wanwan. "Mom and Dad, did you see that? Gu Wanwan is deliberately trying to kill us mother and son. Boss Zhao, why don't you get back here quickly? Someone is bullying your wife and son."
Zheng Shican rushed to Deng Xiunv and slapped her twice. "Who is the bitch? You are the bitch. How dare you scold my sister Wan? Who gave you the courage? Sooner or later, the captain and his wife will be killed by you and your son."
Hu Zhiming did not go over to break up the fight, but instead indulged Sister Wan and Zheng Shican to teach the extremely bad mother and son a lesson, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Lu, Goudan was taught badly by his mother, and is full of feudal ideas. He thinks that he is the eldest son and grandson and will inherit everything of the Zhao family. This is the Zhao family's business, and we have no right to interfere. But he insulted Sister Wan and Cancan as money-losing goods who don't deserve to eat well, and asked us to bribe his mother, Deng Xiunv, with good things, and threatened that it was his mother who taught him to do so, and if we don't give him benefits, he will let the captain target us. He is simply trampling on the captain's lifelong reputation."
Zheng Shican took over the conversation and added fuel to the fire, "If we don't bribe her mother with money or two bags of White Rabbit milk, he will ask his mother to arrange for us to carry manure."
"Not only is it a small matter, your Goudan is so arrogant that he said that if he cries, Lao Zhao will get angry and beat us. Lao Zhao's position as the team leader will be passed on to him in the future. Zhao Goudan is so powerful that he makes decisions without the permission of the commune!" Gu Wanwan's words are always harsh and unforgiving. "Lao Zhao, Sister Lu, you don't know how to educate your grandson. I helped you teach him a lesson, but he didn't appreciate it and pushed Shen Nianyu into the pit, almost killing him. If it weren't for Da Niu and Er Niu running to find us, Nianyu would have died long ago."
Sun Chunlian was shocked when she heard this. This was indeed a stupid thing that her sister-in-law would do. She always knew that her sister-in-law was a very bad person, but who would have thought that she would let Goudan ask Gu Zhiqing for money, candy, and two packs of White Rabbit snacks. Deng Xiuniu and her son really dared to think this.
It was a light punishment that Gu Wanwan didn't beat Goudan to death. But the evidence of bribing the team leader and passing the position of team leader to the eldest son and grandson were fatal. If it got to the commune and the Qingshan Brigade, the Zhao family would be finished. At the very least, they would be stripped of their position as team leader, and at the worst, their whole family would be sent to labor reform.
Gu Wanwan crossed her arms across her chest.
Now it depends on the captain's choice. Is it worth her support to take the position? Will the couple protect their eldest son and grandson and let it pass, or will they sacrifice their relatives for the greater good and give Chen Nianyu an explanation?
Zhao Guoming, don't let people down!
