Chapter 120 121. Exposure
Gu Dashi said softly, "Didn't he hit it? Besides, I've been waiting for him for a long time, but he just came now. Shouldn't I be angry?"
Li Cuicui put her hands on her hips and said, "What about you two? You lied to me and told me to go to the back hills to pick some wild vegetables. Should I be furious?"
Li Cuicui pointed at Gu Yuanlei again and said, "Don't hide behind me. I know you instigated all these things.
If you really want to be filial to your father, then you can just take him and get out. I have now figured it out. It would be better for me to be a widow than to serve a big shot like him."
"You..." Gu Dashi pointed at Li Cuicui with a trembling hand, "You evil woman..."
"What's wrong with being a wicked woman? I'm going to ask the people in the clan to judge and see who among the sons is the most unfilial and who is the most filial?
Let's all judge for ourselves, which family emptied the family fortunes of several brothers when marrying a daughter-in-law? And even dreamed of taking the dowry of his own sister-in-law?"
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? Was everything I said wrong? You sent me away just to use the word 'filial piety' to suppress the seventh son?" When Li Cuicui said this, she couldn't help but tremble with anger. Although each of her sons had his own little shortcomings, none of them was as shameless as the youngest son.
Jin Qianqian walked over and gently stroked her back, "Mom, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health."
Seeing that the old lady had almost vented her anger, Gu Wenheng coldly said an address. Gu Yuanlei's face slowly turned pale, and he even trembled a little.
"Youngest, do you want to say it yourself or should I?"
"How do you know that?"
Gu Wenheng sneered, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Even if I don't know now, do you think this matter can be kept secret?"
"..." Gu Dashi, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Wenheng, "You have to ask the youngest brother directly about this matter."
"I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't want to help, forget it. I'll go out and think of a solution myself." After saying this, Gu Yuanlei was about to rush out the door.
How could Gu Wenheng give him this chance? He raised his foot and hooked the defenseless Gu Yuanlei, who fell directly to the ground. Immediately, there was another foot on his back, stepping on him tightly.
"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. Some people are not something you can easily plot against. When you're plotting against others, it's best to clear yourself."
"What nonsense! Let your brother go immediately," Gu Dashi was about to pull him when he heard a noise outside the door.
"What are they doing? Are the two brothers joking?" Gu Shulin supported Gu Sanbu and walked in with several elders.
Gu Yuanlei looked up and glared at Gu Wenheng fiercely, knowing that all this must be related to Gu Wenheng. He struggled to stand up, but Gu Wenheng would never give him this opportunity. He used his cleverness to not give him a chance to break free.
Gu Dashi, "Alright, Lao Qi, let your brother go quickly. He is so old, but he is still playing around there. Didn't you see that the elders are here?"
Gu Wenheng chuckled, "Dad, I hope you can still defend your son after hearing what I'm going to tell you later."
Gu Dashi wanted to scold him, but Gu Sanbu raised his hand to stop him.
"My dear elders, I invited you all here because I have some news about our family to report."
Gu Sanbu looked at the person under his feet with a frown. Could it be that Gu Yuanlei got into trouble outside?
"I have to congratulate my father. He has set a precedent in our clan and is the first to send his son to marry into another family."
Gu Yuanlei stopped struggling and simply lay on the ground with his face covered.
Gu Dashi, "Seventh Brother, what are you talking about here? Are you going to marry into the Jin family?"
Gu Wenheng snorted, "Dad, I don't believe you haven't heard it yet, look at the expressions of the elders, they are obviously talking about your youngest son.
If you don't believe me, let him tell you himself. He accepted the marriage gift from others and kept asking you to raise the betrothal gift for him. Aren't you curious?"
These words caused a triple wave of shock; even the usually strong Li Cuicui staggered. Fortunately, Jin Qianqian was quick to help her.
Gu Dashi kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible."
Gu Wenheng squatted down and pulled the door open, then stood up. "Now tell me, what does it mean to eat these two?"
Gu Yuanlei, under the pressure of so many looks, simply wiped his face and said with red eyes, "Do you think I am willing? Anyway, I feel guilty towards Yingying about this matter. Even if I marry into her family, I still owe her.
Isn't it reasonable for you to give me some betrothal gifts when I come back? My brothers have separated and lived separately, so haven't you also prepared some assets for them?
And even if I marry into the family, am I still inferior to Sixth Sister?"
Everyone didn't react to the meaning of the latter part for a while, but Li Cuicui understood, "You also want a dowry?"
"Shouldn't it be? You owe me this. If you had agreed to my marriage with Yingying earlier, we might have become a family while fleeing. We wouldn't be in such a dilemma now."
“Why don’t you look for the reason in yourself?” Seeing the old lady holding her chest, Gu Wenheng kicked her to the ground. “In such a difficult time, you stole water for her several times, and even injured Dad’s arm to protect her. Now you can’t get out of bed every day because of the wound.”
Hearing this, everyone tried to hold back their laughter. Gu Dashi didn't even bother to stiffen his neck and watch his two sons quarreling, but lowered his head.
"Look at your mother, who is supporting a family all by herself. When you come back, instead of feeling sorry for her, you make her angry every day and force her to find a solution for you. Isn't this kindness less than that of a woman you met halfway?"
Gu Yuanlei, "I can't care so much. Mother has you brothers, and Yingying only has me."
"Youngest, have you been blinded by a woman and even abandoned your parents?" Gu Dashi thought of the things he had promised before and suddenly felt a little ridiculous. "Then when you said you would take me to the capital, were you lying to me?"
Gu Yuanlei looked at the old man who had loved him since he was a child and said, "I'm not lying to you. As long as my family can raise enough money, I will buy a small courtyard and dad can live there with me."
The elders finally understood what was said, and they all couldn't help but cover their faces, because if the incident became public, the entire family would lose face.
"Gu Yuanlei, we are just ordinary people. You'd better work hard to find a wife nearby. Don't think that it's easy to live in a wealthy family. It's just superficial." Gu Shulin was the first to soften his heart. After all, he was a child he had watched grow up.
"What do you know? I've had enough of living with my face to the ground and my back to the sky! I don't want to endure the same hardships as you for the rest of my life." Gu Yuanlei nodded affirmatively as he spoke, "Yes, no one can stop me from living a good life."
