Chapter 268 269. Modification of clan rules
Gu Sanbu now had no good impression of the three words "Widow He". He glared at Gu Dashi unhappily and said, "Your wife is right. You are already old, and you should set an example for your descendants. It is better not to provoke those people with ulterior motives."
Gu Dashi, "Shi is not such a person. She is also a miserable person. Not long after marrying into the He family, she became a widow. She raised her daughter alone with great difficulty. How come our family business is so big that we can't accommodate them and their daughter?"
Li Cuicui walked over and kicked him hard, causing him to stagger off the stool and sit on the ground. "What does such a huge family business have to do with you, Gu Dashi?
What does it have to do with Widow He? If you really think she is living a pitiful life, I can ask the clan to let you marry into the family and live with them in Shengdong Village."
"Okay, Li, don't be so unreasonable here." Gu Sanbu took a deep breath, "Let's stop here. Dashitou should not go to Shengdong Village again in the future, otherwise we will really consider Li's proposal."
Gu Dashi was anxious now, "But I have already told them mother and daughter that I will take care of them in the future."
Li Cuicui laughed as if she had heard a funny joke, "What can you use to take care of me? You are idle and rely on your sons for support.
Or you can go to the boss's place to get tofu like everyone else in the village and follow them around the streets."
"Can't a few sons support them and their daughter?" As soon as Gu Dashi opened his mouth, Gu Wenheng once again saw what shamelessness was.
Gu Yuanhuo, "There is no such thing in this world. We can just support our parents, but who are they?"
Upon hearing what the third brother said, Gu Dashi raised his hand and was about to take a shot, but unexpectedly Gu Wenheng pulled the man aside, and Gu Dashi's shot missed.
"You unfilial fellow, believe it or not, I will sue you at the government office?"
Since he likes to use these methods to pressure people, Gu Wenheng can do it easily. "Since ancient times, taking a concubine requires the consent of the mistress of the house, and a contract of sale must be signed and handed over to the mistress. Not to mention such a big thing as taking a concubine, which must be approved by the Yue family. What have you done?"
"…Your grandpa's family didn't flee with you, so who knows if they are still…"
“Shut up.” Even Gu Datian and the others couldn’t stand it anymore. Although the Yue family was not here now, there were some things they couldn’t say.
Seeing his wife's expression, Gu Dashi pouted and said, "I didn't say anything."
“…”
Finally, under everyone's pressure, Gu Dashi finally agreed not to take Widow He and her daughter home. As for whether they would be separated or not? He didn't give a precise answer and was always vague.
Gu Wenheng supported Gu Sanbu and walked back, "Your father was wrong this time, but your mother was too stubborn. She shouted and yelled at the men in the family to beat and kill them, and she actually did it."
Gu Wenheng looked at the house not far away and said, "My mother has been suppressed for too long in the past few decades. It can be said that if it weren't for my mother, this family might have broken up long ago.
Third Grandpa, do you think my father could be so reckless and sorry to my mother?"
Gu Sanbu said, "So we all saw that you brothers all sided with your mother, but we didn't say anything."
Gu Wenheng smiled and said in a deep voice, "The unrest in the backyard is a bad sign of a chaotic family. We brothers don't want to fight hard to find a way out, only to be plotted against by some people with ulterior motives."
Gu Sanbu sighed, "Everyone knows that your father is possessed by a ghost this time, but to put it another way, he is still your father after all. As long as he doesn't go too far, you should just be filial and obey him!"
Gu Wenheng stopped and looked at him, "Including helping him find a concubine to hurt my mother?"
Not to mention that he inherited the memories of the original body, he also had such admiration for Li Cuicui in his heart, he personally couldn't accept it.
Gu Sanbu, "...I will talk to Dashi again. And according to what you said before, Widow He is not a good person either. It is better not to invite her to your home."
Gu Wenheng sneered and said, "If he insists on bringing the person home, in addition to providing for him like other villagers, I will reduce the possibility of returning to the village."
Gu Sanbu turned and glared at him, "Are you threatening us?"
Gu Wenheng, "How dare I? But you forgot what my eldest brother said. Widow He wanted to give her daughter to me as my second wife. In order to avoid suspicion, or in order to avoid being attached, I have to stay away from her."
"...That's not the case." Gu Sanbu's voice slowly faded away when he reached this point. This was indeed possible. Not to mention Gu Wenheng, some of his other brothers had this idea as well.
"Money can make people's hearts flutter, and I hope I am just worrying too much.
Third Uncle, everyone has had a good life in the past two years. You may have forgotten that the good life we brothers have today is all brought about by my wife.
There are also our old clan rules. I would like to make some changes after a while."
In his memory, as long as one holds an official position, one can write family rules, or add to or rewrite clan rules.
Gu Sanbu swallowed his saliva, his hands trembling, he suddenly grabbed Gu Wenheng tightly, "Third Grandpa, I will go and find the clan rules, and we will revise them when you come back next time."
Gu Shulin, who was following behind from a distance, ran up quickly and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Sanbu came back to his senses and glared at his son, "Your father is fine, go over to the side, I will have a good chat with Wen Heng."
Gu Shulin glanced at him and saw that his face was flushed and he was in good spirits, so he felt relieved.
Receiving the disdainful look from his father, he could only helplessly run back to where he had just come from and follow quietly.
"Third Grandfather, I just hope you won't despise me for being arrogant when the time comes."
Gu Sanbu, "This is all as it should be, why are you being arrogant?
The clan rules of our clan have not been revised for a long time, and my third uncle has been dreaming of this day.
It’s a pity that your Uncle Shulin is such a blockhead that he has wasted so much of the old man’s efforts and can only serve as the village chief.
If it weren't for you, his nephew who has passed the imperial examination, supporting him, his position as village chief would be shaky."
The more he talked and thought about it, the more disgusted he became. Gu Shulin, who was standing far away, received a few glares for no reason.
Gu Wenheng: "..." This old man is also trying to trick people. Uncle Shulin shouldn't think that I am framing him, right?
“…”

Li Cuicui waited until everyone left, then her face immediately fell. She personally moved Gu Dashi's bedding and some of his other things to the next room.
"You old woman, what are you doing?" Gu Dashi didn't dare to step forward to stop her, and even hid far away, muttering softly, "You are such a shrew, only I can stand you for so many years."
