"That's outrageous! It's absolutely outrageous!"
"That's right, our Zhaojiazhuang is a place where rules are followed."
"Yes! Find the clan leader, go find him quickly. We can't let a widow from the Gu family be bullied like this!"
"Humph, in the past, I just thought those old Zhaos were too partial and didn't treat Guodong as their son. But now it seems that they are more than partial, they are simply rotten-hearted!"
"It's fine to control your daughter-in-law, after all, she's from another family, but why are you treating your grandson so harshly? At least leave him some food to eat!"
The villagers were very angry. They surrounded Gu Qingcheng and her two children and went to the old house, while talking loudly.
Even the rather harsh mother-in-law couldn't help but feel a little contempt when she saw the "pitiful" appearance of the two little brothers Zhao Qingyun.
Although they are also "outsiders", they claim that they have given birth to sons for their husband's family, so they are family members.
However, their daughter-in-law is not recognized by them.
However, it’s okay to bully your daughter-in-law, but your grandson is your own family member. How can you not even want your grandson?
The old couple in the Zhao family are really two fools.
Zhao Qingyun: ...Although I feel something is not right, I inexplicably feel refreshed. What's going on?
If he didn't know his mother's "naive" nature very well, he would have suspected that she did it on purpose.
In the past, Zhao Qingyun was angry and anxious when he saw his mother being easily deceived and foolishly believing the lies of the so-called "family members", but he was helpless.
And now, the mother is still "innocent", but the person who is being aggrieved has become the "enemy".
Zhao Qingyun, who was standing aside watching the fun, felt as if he had drunk ice water in the hottest days of summer, refreshed from head to toe!
"Gu, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I bully you?" Old Mrs. Zhao felt very insecure when she saw the huge group of people outside the door.
Especially the accusations from everyone, which made Old Mrs. Zhao feel confused and bewildered.
It was only after hearing everyone's nonsense that Old Mrs. Zhao realized that she had been slandered by the Gu family.
A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.
She was so angry that she jumped three feet high.
Great, great guy Gu. He looks honest and easy to bully, but he is actually a mean and evil person.
It's broad daylight, oh no, it's dark now, but you can't tell lies with your eyes open.
What does it mean that the child is hungry, that there is no food at home, and that all the money has been taken away by the mother-in-law?
What does this have to do with her, an old lady?
"Mother-in-law, you didn't bully me!"
Gu Qingcheng widened her eyes and argued eagerly.
It's just that she was too weak, and even if she spoke normally, others would think she was scared and had to "lie".
"Look at Gu, how pitiful, her little face turned pale with fear!"
"That's right! Oh, just looking at her pitiful little appearance, you can tell how vicious this old Zhao woman is!"
"I've said it before, the old woman from the Zhao family is a rotten hearted person, extremely partial. She's even better at torturing her daughter-in-law!"
"Old lady Zhao, you really think you're some shrew, a mountain king. Even if you want to discipline your daughter-in-law, you can't let your grandson starve to death!"
"That's right, Zhao Guodong was just buried, and the soil on his grave isn't even dry yet. How dare you bully his wife and children like that?"
Everyone pointed at Old Mrs. Zhao and started blaming her.
Old Mrs. Zhao seemed to have become the victim of everyone's misfortune, but she herself felt extremely wronged.
No!
Although I really want to "take back" Zhao Guodong's house and land, I also have to consider my grandson.
She and her husband have agreed to "adopt" their two grandsons to the eldest and second son respectively.
Raising them for a few years and then helping Qingyun and his family find wives would be enough to repay my deceased third son.
The eldest and second sons inherited the third son's house and land, and their lives became more comfortable. The other grandsons also had houses and money to marry wives.
It's better than letting an outsider like Gu get the advantage.
What if Gu remarried and ran away with all the property left by her son? Wouldn't the Zhao family be in dire straits?!
She, she did this for the dead third brother.
The more Old Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. The key point was that she really didn't "bully" the Gu family.
At most, he would call her a vixen and a jinx, and want to marry her off as soon as possible.
But this is a normal thing for a country mother-in-law to do. Why does it become "vicious" when it comes to her?
Old Mrs. Zhao felt that she was too weak to bear such a heavy blame!
"Gu, when did I take your money?"
They did go to Zhao Guodong's courtyard just now, but they just cried and made a fuss, and suggested that Gu remarry as soon as possible.
As for silver, rice, etc., they did not touch them.
Well, it’s not that they don’t want to, but they feel that this is already the meat in their bowls.
It's theirs morning and night.
If you appear too eager, you will inevitably be criticized. They want money and they also want face.
It would be better to think about getting rid of the Gu family and then "bringing" the two little guys back to the old house.
By then, wouldn't the family fortune earned by Zhao Guodong still fall into the hands of the three brothers?
"What's wrong? What happened again? What are you all doing here?"
As soon as Old Lady Zhao asked this question, an old man in his fifties or sixties came over.
He is the patriarch of the Zhao family and one of the few educated people in the village.
