"Dad, we shouldn't interfere in the Gu family's affairs. Mrs. Gu is too old to be messed with." Sun Chunlian was still not happy about her parents-in-law provoking the Gu family. Although her eldest sister-in-law's family was separated and her own family could eat more, once her parents-in-law intervened in the war between the Gu family and Gu Wanwan, the Zhao family would inevitably be implicated.
You have to know that the Gu family, the Du family, and the Ding family are all relatives. I'm afraid that if they join forces to get rid of my father-in-law's position as the captain, then the Zhao family will be in trouble.
Not to mention Sun Chunlian, even the second and first brothers Zhao and their spouses could never understand why their parents listened to Gu Wanwan so much?
The brother and sister were led by Gu Wanwan. They were nervous and worried, but more importantly, they felt a sense of security.
How could Aunt Lu not see through her second daughter-in-law's little thoughts? "Even if the sky falls, I will support Sister Wan and the others. If you are my good daughter-in-law, you should take the broom and follow me."
How can you fight without weapons?
The feather duster in her hand is very useful. It was used by Old Zhao to beat Zhao Goudan when he was a child. It has been washed and polished for decades. It is a "family heirloom" left to them by the Zhao family.
Zhao Guoming waved his hand, "Second brother, third brother, grab your weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Zhao San quickly ran into the house and picked up his dog-beating stick.
Zhao Erge and Sun Chunlian didn't want to disobey their parents, so they had to use local materials and picked up a branch and followed their parents-in-law.
A group of people went to Gu's house in a mighty manner, and when they passed by the fields, they aroused the curiosity of the villagers.
"Where is the captain's family going with such a big fuss? Are they preparing to fight with Qingshan Village?"
"It seems like he went to Mrs. Gu's house. Is the captain going to settle accounts with Mrs. Gu? Oh, the captain usually avoids the Gu family, but now he is becoming more and more powerful."
"Hey, why is Gu Zhiqing holding Shen Nianyu and Shen Zhitian? Isn't she afraid that Gu Po will make a scene? I heard from Du Niudan and the other kids that Gu Zhiqing is very stingy and won't even give a candy for asking for directions. How come she doesn't dislike the Shen siblings?"
"It depends on the situation. The captain is going to make the decision for Gu Qingtang and his mother. By the way, has our captain been possessed by a ghost recently? He has become so confident and has the aura of Captain Qingshan."
"Am I the only one who is curious about the relationship between Gu Zhiqing and the Gu family? They both have the last name Gu, should we go over and take a look?"
“…”
Zhao Guoming shouted, "Don't come over to join in the fun, or I'll deduct your work points!"
On the way, Shen Zhitian told Gu Wanwan about the situation of the Gu family. "Cousin, Li Xiuhong and her eldest daughter-in-law are aunt and niece. They were both married to the captain of the Qingshan team. They are better at fighting than men."
The head of the Gu family is named Gu Yongsheng, and his wife is named Du Ju, also known as Mrs. Gu, who is the cousin of Du Yongtai of the Du family.
The couple had one son and two daughters. Their son, Gu Lizhu, married Li Xiuhong and had two sons. Their eldest son, Gu Youqian, married Li Pangni and had two daughters and one son.
The second son, Gu Youquan, and his wife Miao Xiangxiang also gave birth to two daughters and one son.
Gu Yongsheng and Du Ju's eldest daughter is called Gu Qiuyan. She married and moved to the city and currently works as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative.
The second daughter is Gu Qingtang, the biological mother of Shen Nianyu and Shen Zhitian. As for the father of the child, his identity is still unknown.
The more Zheng Shican listened, the more confused he became. "The relationships among the Gu family members are too complicated. Both the aunt and the niece married into the Gu family. So aren't they closely related by blood?"
Sun Chunlian secretly complained that the new educated youth were just ignorant. "There are so many cousin marriages in the village. Didn't the emperor in the old days marry his cousins? What's the big deal?"
Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows, "Maybe they are not related by blood."
Aunt Lu gave her a thumbs up and said, "Sister Wan, you are right. Captain Qingshan's brothers are the sons of the stepmother. The stepmother married Li Xiuhong's father and they became a family. They are siblings. Li Xiuhong often relies on her status as a brother to show disrespect to Old Zhao."
Before the group got close to Gu's house, they heard the sound of Li Xiuhong, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, beating and scolding Gu Qingtang.
"Bitch, are you pretending to be sick? I asked you to fetch water, but you splashed water all over me. Are you unhappy with your mother-in-law and are you taking it out on me?" Li Xiuhong was so angry that she kicked Gu Qingtang hard, then grabbed her neck and strangled her. "You and your two children are bastards. You can't even do your job well. Don't eat tonight!"
Gu Qingtang resisted weakly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. I really don't have the strength anymore..."
Li Xiuhong grabbed her hair and pouted at her, "Don't call me sister-in-law. I'm not your sister-in-law. You're not a member of the Gu family. You're just a worthless bastard. You don't have any strength? Pooh, are you implying that my Gu family is not a human being and deliberately abuses you and doesn't give you food?"
Li Pangni was not idle nearby. She brought a basin of foot washing water and poured it on Gu Qingtang. "You are so ugly, no wonder grandma doesn't like you. No wonder your husband abandoned you without saying goodbye, and even left his own children. Aunt, if I were you, I would have no face to live in this world. I would just hit my head against a wall and die, so as not to embarrass myself and ruin the reputation of the Gu family."
Gu Qingtang felt a chill all over his body, his whole body aching unbearably, and he couldn't stop shivering, "Brother Chen promised me that he would not leave us mother and son..."
Li Xiuhong did her best to humiliate Gu Qingtang and took pleasure in torturing her. "He didn't leave, but he lost his memory. His origins are unknown. He was torn into pieces by his enemies outside. It's so tragic."
"Oh, by the way, your children are probably dead now. I heard from Du Niudan that one fell into a pit, and the other was taken away by a wild beast when entering the inner circle. There was blood all over the ground. Gu Qingtang, you killed your husband and your child. Are you heartbroken?"
Gu Qingtang's already sickly face became even paler and colorless. Hot tears slid down his cheeks, and he was immersed in grief and sorrow.
"You lied to me, Brother Shen is not dead, my child will not die, I want to go find them..."
Seeing her resisting, the aunt and nephew teamed up to beat her. Li Xiuhong even took out the rusty needle and stabbed Gu Qingtang frantically, "You rebelled. If you two ungrateful bastards die, the Gu family can still save a few grains of food. If you dare to escape from the Gu family, I will stab you to death. Even if you die, you have to stay in the Gu family and work like a slave for me."
"You are not still wishful thinking that your husband's in-laws will come to take you and your son back to enjoy a good life, right? How can a man with amnesia remember where his home is if he has forgotten even his own name?"
The scene is quite similar to that of Madam Rong.
While beating him, Li Pangni took out a pocket watch from Gu Qingtang's arms, fiddled with it, and said with disdain, "It's just a broken pocket watch. You still think it's a treasure when it's broken. It's really unlucky to have something from a dead person."
"That is the memory that Brother Chen left for me. Give it back to me." Gu Qingtang didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed Li Xiuhong away and rushed towards Li Pangni, desperately trying to take the pocket watch back from her. She held it tightly in her hand and refused to let go even though they bullied and beat her.
The more she treasures it, the more outrageous the aunt and nephew become. It's just a broken pocket watch, not a treasure, and it can't be sold for money. Is it worth Gu Qingtang risking his life to protect it?
Li Pangni was so angry that she raised the bucket and smashed it hard on Gu Qingtang's head, "Go to hell, I'll see who can save you? Your brother Chen can't save you, and your in-laws don't even know you exist. No one will collect your body..."
