Chapter 147 148. Shengdong Village
Li Cuicui's face was full of disappointment. She didn't understand how her daughter could become so unrecognizable after only seeing her for a few years.
Even though Gu Dashi was biased, he knew what was important. He slammed the table and said, "You guys, throw them out. I won't have such a daughter in the future, and you won't have such a sister either."
"Dad, are you really going to ignore me?" Gu Yuanfeng cried, "Then I will divorce my husband. I don't want to go back to their He family anymore."
He Tuping's face was full of disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about, bitch?"
"I told you that I want to divorce you. Anyway, your family won't think of us if anything happens. I don't want my unborn child to continue to suffer with me.
And I've really had enough. Every time my parents help me out, you just keep on for a while and then go even further to torment me.
Look, since we built the house, although my treatment seems to be similar to that of my eldest brother, all the chores at home are still done by me.”
"We are not idle either. Aren't we reclaiming land in the fields? What's wrong with you doing something at home?" He Tuping frowned. Isn't it a joke to calculate these things at this time?
"Opening up the wasteland, didn't I do less in opening up the wasteland? Why do you all act like masters when you go back? And I am busy in and out with Xiaocao. We are both daughters-in-law, why should I be lower than the eldest sister-in-law?"
"Haven't we discussed this issue before? Your sister-in-law came into the family earlier than you and did a lot more housework at that time. It's only right that you have to work harder in the past few years." There was some impatience in He Tuping's tone. He didn't even know where to choose when to speak. If he had anything to say, he should have said it in private instead of saving his face in front of outsiders.
The Gu family: "…" Where did this saying come from?
Li Cuicui put on the big cotton-padded jacket that Jin Qianqian brought back last time and said, "Come on, come on, I just found out about all this today. It seems I have to ask the head of your He family, does your He family have such clan rules?
If that is the case, I will take my daughter to serve her sister-in-law personally."
The brothers could no longer hold back, so they walked over, grabbed He Tuping and took him out. If he dared to struggle, the brothers would secretly attack him, so in the end he had no choice but to obey everyone.
Gu Yuanfeng wanted to stay, but under Li Cuicui's glare, he obediently followed her, holding his belly.
As for He Chuncao, who was forgotten by everyone, she looked at the warm house with nostalgia, gritted her teeth, and trotted after him.
When passing by Gu Wenheng's house at the exit of the village, Gu Yuanfeng ran over and clung to the door tightly, "Mom, we'll live here and find something to eat by ourselves."
Li Cuicui walked over and pulled her hands away, "It seems that I was too good to you in the early years, which made you forget that I was arrogant, and this is something you can still care about.
Lao Wu, come and take your sister away. You keep causing trouble for me every day."
Gu Yuantu sighed, "Sixth sister, let's go. You should also think carefully about what is best for you?"
"Fifth brother, even you said so. I just want to live a good life. Why can't you give me a hand?"
"Don't bully your fifth brother for being honest," Li Cuicui walked over and grabbed her ear, "You have lived this good life by yourself. You have not thought about how to stand on your own feet these years, but have learned the calculations from the He family. Today, you either leave the He family or cut off all ties with your mother's family.
You said that you had quarreled so many times along the way. Now that I am still here, I can help you make decisions more or less. Otherwise, if you continue to do this, and then your relationship is ruined, what will you do?"
"Mom, but we still have children. If I leave, what will happen to the children?"
Li Cuicui looked back at her granddaughter and said, "You still have a child? If a mother can't even protect her own child, then you've been a mother for nothing.
Look at Xiaocao, her clothes are not as thick as yours. Do you think you are good to your child?"
Li Cuicui walked over and held He Chuncao's hand, "Look at such a young child, his hands are covered with frostbite, I don't believe that you, as a mother, can't see it?"
"Which child doesn't do something..." Gu Yuanfeng couldn't continue talking when he saw Li Cuicui's eyes.
It seems like I never reached out much before I got married.

Shengdong Village
"How did this matter reach the clan leader?" He Zhou looked at the person who came to report the news with a dark face.
"How should I know that?" He Shuigen didn't want to run around in such a cold day. "A lot of people are gathering at the clan leader's place now. I want you to hurry over there."
After watching the people leave, He Zhou looked at He Tuliang, "What should we do now? We said at the time that this wouldn't work. We had to at least give them some food before letting them go. Now that things have gotten out of hand, what can we do?"
"What should I do? What should I do? How do I know what to do now?" He Tuliang cursed the second brother and his wife in his heart for being useless and not being able to handle such a small matter.
He felt that the fact that the Gu family was able to turn things around so quickly and build a village so quickly must have something to do with the miracle behind it.
Now the seventh son of the Gu family has passed the imperial examination and has become a county town dweller. He doesn't believe that there is no secret behind this.
Using the excuse of the house collapsing, they let the two fools go back to explore the way first. If they could really move into Kaoshan Village, their whole family could move there in the future, and they would be able to find out the secrets inside.
Unexpectedly, we failed just at the beginning. We were more likely to fail than to accomplish anything.
No matter how unwilling they were, they still had to make this journey.
When they arrived at the door of the patriarch's house, they heard Li Cuicui's questioning.
"We just found out today that your He family has a rule that the one who marries later has to serve the older sister-in-law. The reason is that she came into the family a few years earlier and did a few more years of work.
Your family tradition is really great. I really regret now why I didn't find an eldest son among you and your family members. In this way, I would only have to be a daughter-in-law for a few years, and then I could enjoy the same treatment as the mother-in-law.
From now on, within this area of ten miles or a hundred miles, the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family will probably be very popular."
"Sister-in-law, that's not how it should be said. We don't have such a rule in our clan. Isn't this cheating people?" Several women in the yard were anxious. If this word got out, the families of the boys in their family would never be able to find wives in the future.
"How did it become a scam? Did my family fall into the scam?" Li Cuicui suddenly realized, "Well, speaking of this, it's nothing. I married off my daughter and got a son-in-law and a granddaughter.
It's snowing heavily outside. This little family is so filial that they are willing to take care of us two old people through this winter. It's a pity that we are too old to take care of them."
