Chapter 109: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (Part 44)
Facing Li Yaozong's question, Gu Qingcheng did not answer but asked: "Why do you ask that?"
Li Yaozong found that his mother was not angry. Although her expression still did not show any joy or anger, Li Yaozong just had that feeling.
"Feel!"
Li Yaozong gave the answer directly.
He didn't say anything. After seeing the disturbing reports in the newspaper, he had an inexplicable intuition -
This matter must be related to my mother.
Originally, the feud between my mother and my "sister-in-law" should have been settled after my mother was beaten with a stick and driven out of the Li family.
However, a few months later, my sister-in-law wrote my mother's story into a novel, causing a lot of trouble for my mother.
Although the mother didn't care, trouble was trouble and being provoked was indeed a provocation.
Given her mother's vengeful nature, oh no, it's her nature of taking pleasure in revenge, she will definitely not let Han Qiuyu go.
This feeling was cultivated by Li Yaozong after being with Gu Qingcheng for nearly a year, through osmotic influence.
Even though there was no evidence, Li Yaozong was still somewhat certain.
Gu Qingcheng did not comment on Li Yaozong's answer, but added quietly, "Some things have not been reported in the newspapers yet. Perhaps in the near future, there will be a family ethics lawsuit."
Li Yaozu frowned slightly, and his first reaction was: Mom, what did you do? Then, Li Yaozu began to think desperately about what else his mother could do.
The secret plot allowed people to discover that Han Qiuyu had plagiarized or hired a ghostwriter. Isn't that the end of it?
Oh, yes, this is just a "return of favor" and there is interest! Besides, Han Qiuyu would take the initiative to provoke, indicating that she is "too idle".
We need to find her something to do! Otherwise, what if she takes the initiative to provoke us because she is too idle?
My mother is busy studying and making money, so how can she have the time to get entangled with such irrelevant people? !
But where would my mother start? What else could Han Qiuyu have? Wait, she is my eldest sister-in-law, and she is already married to my eldest brother.
If nothing unexpected happens, my sister-in-law will have a child.
Even if not, her marriage with her eldest brother cannot be dissolved by a divorce notice.
After his last "heart-to-heart talk" with his mother, Li Yaozong was convinced that the decline of the Li family was an unchangeable fate.
The Li family has been defeated, and his father, who has been used to a life of luxury, will certainly not be able to accept this reality.
Li Yaozong bet that his biological father Li Jiye would definitely go back to look for his promising son Li Yaozu.
As for Li Yaozu, he was definitely not as excellent and filial as Li Jiye had imagined.
Li Yaozong had not spent much time with his cheap elder brother Li Yaozu, and did not know much about him.
But, this is only a glimpse of the whole picture.
Don't look at anything else, just look at how he desperately asked for money from his family after studying abroad, and how he resorted to the despicable method of consummating his marriage with Han Qiuyu in order to escape his marriage...
These "little things" can reflect Li Yaozu's character.
Li Yaozong could also draw the conclusion that "Li Yaozu is unreliable" based on these.
Neither the father nor the son are kind or capable people. If they get together, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
If they want to solve the problem, they can only ask for external help.
And who better to be the foreign aid than Han Qiuyu, who is in the newspapers every day and has no shortage of fame and money? But Han Qiuyu is not someone who is easily bullied (smart enough).
You can tell from the way she reflects Gu Qingcheng in the novel for no reason.
Li Yaozong once again made a bold prediction based on these details. In the near future, the Li family father and son will definitely go to court with Han Qiuyu! That's why his mother said, "There will be a family ethics lawsuit!" And so, Li Jiye was able to successfully find the "missing" Li Yaozu, and the Li family father and son were able to smoothly absorb Han Qiuyu. This should also be Gu Qingcheng's handiwork.
Thinking of this, Li Yaozong's pupils shrank slightly.
Naturally, this micro-expression of his did not escape Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Yes, I wrote letters to Li Jiye and Li Yaozu, telling them some interesting 'news'."
Li Yaozong: ...I guessed right! "Do you think I've gone too far by repeatedly plotting against Han Qiuyu?"
Gu Qingcheng threw out a question.
She wanted to hear Li Yaozong's answer and then verify the results of her education during this period.
Li Yaozong met Gu Qingcheng's gaze and shook his head slowly, "Han Qiuyu was the first to stir up this whole thing. You are just fighting back."
"Besides, even if you don't do anything, these things will 'explode' sooner or later."
Whether it is Han Qiuyu’s “plagiarism” being exposed or the difficulty of the Li father and son, both are facts.
Even if Gu Qingcheng hadn't intervened, all this would have happened.
At most, Gu Qingcheng moved the timeline forward.
But, so what?
If Han Qiuyu hadn't provoked her first, Gu Qingcheng wouldn't have done these things.
"When Han Qiuyu was plotting against you, he should have thought about what kind of revenge he would face if he failed!"
Li Yaozong looked into his mother's eyes and slowly made his comments.
In fact, it's not just Han Qiuyu. Before anyone wants to do something bad, they can't just think about what will happen if they succeed.
Also think about what the punishment will be if you fail.
Is it possible for me to bear the consequences?
If you don’t consider anything, then you are definitely being stupid.
For example, Han Qiuyu now, and my biological mother in the past.
Hearing Li Yaozong's answer, Gu Qingcheng smiled, "Not bad, being able to think of this shows that you have really improved."
Gu Qingcheng has never read books like The Art of Thick Black, but she is involved in government affairs.
She understands human nature, knows reality, and knows that the world is not black and white, and there is no absolute right or wrong, good or evil.
She would not raise Li Yaojing into a fool who knew nothing about the world, but into a truly outstanding person.
Of course, she would not only teach Li Yaozong how to scheme and plot, and only let him see the dark side.
She would also tell him that even if he was a bad person, he had to abide by certain rules and maintain a certain bottom line.
Huoshui: ...This sentence is so full of complaints, but I don’t know where to start.
…
"Ms. Gu! Ms. Gu!"
That morning, before Gu Qingcheng and Li Yaozong woke up, they heard banging on the door and urgent shouting outside.
Gu Qingcheng was awakened, but she did not rush out to open the door. Instead, she listened attentively.
This voice sounds familiar!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It seems to be the neighbor of the courtyard house on the east side.
Gu Qingcheng did not hesitate any longer. She put on her clothes and walked out quickly.
I unbolted the door and half-opened it, just in front of Mr. Xu's wife next door.
Mrs. Xu was also a woman with bound feet. She was Mr. Xu’s child bride.
Mr. Xu is definitely one of the few men with a conscience in the Republic of China, where there are many scumbags.
He did not despise his original wife.
After being hired by the Medical University, he brought his wife and children to the provincial capital.
After renting a house, the family lived in harmony.
Mrs. Xu has an inferiority complex and always feels that she has brought shame to her husband, so she stays at home taking care of the children all day.
He never goes out of the front door or the back door, and is not very familiar with his neighbors.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu put on her clothes hastily, her hair was a little messy, and her face was full of fear and panic.
She didn't care about her inferiority or cowardice, she ran to Gu Qingcheng's door on her feet, mustered up her courage, and knocked on the door.
Finally, when Gu Qingcheng opened the door and Mrs. Xu saw the legendary powerful "Ms. Gu", she felt like she had seen her savior.
Her legs went limp and she kneeled down subconsciously.
Gu Qingcheng quickly reached out to support her, "Mrs. Xu, please stand firm!"
"What happened? Don't be impatient! Take your time!"
"As long as I can help, I will definitely help you!"
Gu Qingcheng did not pretend to be ignorant and make small talk, but went straight to the point.
Early in the morning, a woman with bound feet who never left her house ran to her own door and banged on it.
There was only one reason: something happened to the Xu family and Mrs. Xu came for help.
"Ms. Gu! Please, save my husband."
After hearing what Gu Qingcheng said, Mrs. Xu felt relieved a little.
Her eyes felt sore and tears rolled out.
"What happened to Mr. Xu?"
Gu Qingcheng has been busy with her overseas affairs these days and has not gone to the University Hall.
Due to the influence of public opinion during this period, the surrounding residents also drew a clear line between themselves and Gu Qingcheng.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng didn’t know what happened to his neighbor Mr. Xu.
But looking at Mrs. Xu's anxious look, there should be some trouble.
"He, he was arrested by the people from the Governor's Office! They said he was inciting the students and that he was a red element!"
Mrs. Xu grabbed Gu Qingcheng's hand and said, "Ms. Gu, they must be slandering our husband."
"Woo woo, my teacher is just a teacher. He goes to the university just to make money and support his family."
"How could he get involved in what's going on outside? He is wronged! Ms. Gu, he must be wronged!"
"You are a capable person, and you are friends with the foreigners and Commander Ma. Please, please save my husband."
While crying and talking, Mrs. Xu tried to break free from Gu Qingcheng's support and kneel down to Gu Qingcheng.
Inciting students?
And was she labeled? Gu Qingcheng was no longer the ignorant person she was when she first came here.
In the more than one year since she came to this time and space, she has been reading books and newspapers and keeping up with current affairs.
Therefore, she is very familiar with the current situation in China.
Mr. Xu's case might be suspected of being slandered, but Gu Qingcheng was more inclined to believe that he had indeed done something.
In this era, there is no shortage of indifference and worship of foreign things, but there is no shortage of awakened pioneers.
Mr. Xu looked rather aloof, with a bit of the stubbornness of a scholar.
But his character is still reliable.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Gu Qingcheng borrowed so many books from the other party after becoming neighbors is enough to prove it.
However, Mr. Xu was captured by the Governor’s Office, which is a bit troublesome!
If it was Ma Yong, Gu Qingcheng would just need to say hello.
It happened to be the Governor's Mansion, and Gu Qingcheng had the label of Commander Ma. It would be good enough if the people in the Governor's Mansion didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, so how could they give her face?
