Chapter 218 219. Old Matter Revisited
Early the next morning, the brothers of the Gu family clearly realized that Gu Dashi was not very nice to them.
Gu Yuanshui walked over to help Gu Wenheng lead the donkey, "Is he still thinking about looking for the youngest brother?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "Don't mention it. It's a rare trip to the city. Do you want to buy anything?"
Several brothers shook their heads. Now they were only spending money and not earning any money, so how could they have the confidence to buy things?
Gu Dashi spoke up at this time, "Let's go around to the street in front. I want to ask Gu Yuanlei how I, as a father, have ever been so unfair to him that he treated me like that."
Gu Yuanhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, there is no such person in our family. Please don't mention him all the time, okay? You have been tormenting us brothers for so long just for him. Aren't you just taking your anger out on others?"
Gu Dashi's eyes were a little evasive, but this also made Gu Yuanhuo realize that he had spoken the truth.
He jumped off the donkey cart directly, for he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would be charged with being unfilial and kick the person off the cart.
"Seventh brother, even you are unfilial." Gu Dashi knew that he needed a reputation to pass the imperial examination, so he blurted out the threatening words.
Gu Wenheng turned his head and grinned at him, "Dad, if you feel that your son is unfilial, you can go to the elders in the clan and complain to me. If I really did something wrong, I will definitely take responsibility.
You are sick now. If I take you to Gu Yuanlei to suffer and make your condition worse, then everyone will say that I am truly unfilial. "
"He harmed your father like this, and made you suffer for so long, don't you want to settle the score with him?" Seeing that his plan failed, Gu Dashi simply added fuel to the fire.
"Dad, how did we suffer all these sins?" Gu Yuanhuo directly retorted. The real culprit was sitting in the donkey cart and enjoying the service of them brothers, but they couldn't touch him. It was really infuriating.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuanhuo took the rope from Gu Wenheng and quietly moved his hand. The wheel of the donkey cart immediately pressed on a stone on the side of the road, causing Gu Dashi, who was still half lying on the donkey cart, to be thrown directly into the air and then fell heavily.
"Hey, do you know how to drive?" Gu Dashi covered his butt with one hand and his head with the other, "Don't you know how to watch the road?"
Gu Yuanhuo pointed at the donkey and cursed, "This stupid donkey, you can't even tell good from bad, you know the road over there is difficult to walk on, but you still insist on going over there.
"Old Seven, did you feed it too well? Did it become too proud and forget its duty?"
Gu Wenheng also told jokes, "This donkey is stupid and stubborn. When I first bought it, it wouldn't move no matter how hard I tried to lead it. Your sister-in-law hung some food in front of it, and for that little bit of food, it didn't mind any hard work."
"Then why didn't you hang something on it today? It's done very well." Gu Yuanshui was also a little curious.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "This bad habit was not broken until we went south, when Xiaodongzi from your sister-in-law's store broke it.
At that time, this stubborn donkey was also playing tricks, but Xiao Dongzi didn't have the patience to pamper it like us, so he went to Captain Li to borrow a whip and whipped it a few times. After learning his lesson, he became a good boy.
"That's how it should be. You and your sister-in-law are just too good-tempered. Sometimes you have to be spanked."
Gu Dashi: "..." Why does this sound wrong?

Gaoling Village
"Mom, it's already past noon, why haven't they come back yet?" Gu Yuanfeng held her belly and paced back and forth in the yard.
"Who can say for sure about going out? Besides, your father and the others are not going out to play, they are going to the provincial capital to see a doctor. Don't hang around in front of me. I feel dizzy." Li Cuicui said unhappily.
Gu Yuanfeng, "How much wealth do you think Old Seven and his family have now? Our family was in such a difficult situation before, but they didn't show any."
Li Cuicui, "That's as it should be. We've already separated. Who would be like you, a fool, being tricked away as soon as you walked in the door?
Why did I hear that you were meeting that guy surnamed He these days? "
"Who told you that?" Gu Yuanfeng lowered his head and stroked his belly. "He came to see me a few times, but he also wanted to know how the baby in my belly was doing."
"What do their families say about the baby in your belly?" When she heard that it was because of this matter, Li Cuicui's expression eased a little, "If their family really wants it, then give it to them after you give birth."
If it weren't for the fear of ruining Gu Yuanfeng's health, Li Cuicui wouldn't have wanted to raise someone else's child for such a long time.
"Mom, Lao Qi and his family don't have any children now..."
Li Cuicui interrupted her directly, "I've already told you not to mention this anymore. Not to mention that the Seventh Brother is very young now, even if it really comes to that, they will only choose from your brothers, and the clan will not allow outside bloodlines to be adopted."
"Isn't it all the same? Besides, I've divorced Tuping, and now the child is ours."
Li Cuicui snorted, "Who told you these twisted ideas? The blood of the Gu family is the blood of the Gu family. Even if the child in your belly is born here, it cannot erase the fact that he is a descendant of the He family.
I am here to warn you one last time. If you really bring this up again, you should pack up your things and get out of here and go to the He family."
Gu Yuanfeng curled his lips and walked over to sit next to Li Cuicui, "Mom, didn't Jin give you a set of jewelry? I heard it's very beautiful, take it out and let me see it!"
Li Cuicui knows her daughter better than her mother. She said in a fierce tone, "What are you looking at? I'm afraid you can't take your eyes off. Besides, that's your sister-in-law's filial piety to me. Don't have any bad ideas."
"I wasn't at home the last time Lao Qi and his friends came back, so why am I not included in this?"
Li Cuicui finally understood, "I was wondering why you stayed at home these days, it turned out to be because of this.
It's a favor for others to give it to you, but you can't ask for it if they don't give it to you. Have you forgotten what your mother taught you before?"
Gu Yuanfeng, "But why did he leave me behind when everyone in the family got it? Even if I wasn't at home, he could have asked you to pass it on. I don't think he has a sister like me in his eyes at all."
Li Cuicui, "…You really led the He family astray, always eyeing things that don't belong to you."
“…”
"Grandma, my grandpa and the others are back," Gu Leping, who was guarding the village entrance, shouted as he ran back.
"You're back so soon?" Li Cuicui stood up and looked at Gu Leping. "Is your grandfather sitting in the car or walking downstairs?"
Gu Leping scratched his head and said, "I forgot."
He only remembered to hurry back to tell his grandmother the news, and didn't pay any attention to who took the car and who walked.
"Forget it. We're only a few steps away anyway. Yuanfeng, go add some fire to the stove. They must not have eaten after all this journey." Li Cuicui opened the yard to make it easier for the donkey cart to come in.
