Chapter 71 72. Biased
Gu Wenheng didn't buy it. He strode to Jin Qianqian's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "They just came here not long ago."
"Leave it to me," Gu Wenheng turned and looked at the two aggressive families, "What did you say just now? I was standing far away before, please say it again."
Gu Yuanshui held Liu Liu down with his hands. "Nothing much. I just want to know how you guys have been these days. Have you been wronged outside?"
"Fourth brother really cares about us. Seventh brother thanks you here. But we have been traveling for several days and we are really tired. I will have a good chat tomorrow when I have rested well."
“…”
After the two families left angrily, Gu Wenheng snorted coldly and turned to look at Gu Dashi.
"Dad, how are your injuries?" As soon as Gu Wenheng opened his mouth, the old man couldn't hold back anymore.
"You are all unfilial sons. You have ignored me these days and don't know how to be filial when you have good things. It seems that we need to change the rules of old-age care in the future."
Li Cuicui, "Don't pay attention to your father, this old fool, you almost treat him like a big Buddha all day long, and you're not satisfied with this and you're always finding fault with that.
Now everyone is trying to survive, who has the time to listen to him nagging? "
"Mom, this is for you." Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian both understood the meaning of Gu Dashi's words, but they did not do as he wished and handed the bamboo tube directly to Li Cuicui.
"Then I won't be polite," Li Cuicui took the bamboo tube, and without paying attention to the murderous look of Li Dashi beside her, she opened the seal on it and took two big gulps of the liquid into her mouth.
"Don't finish yet, hurry up and give me a drink too." Li Dashi swallowed dryly. God knows she almost forgot the taste of drinking water.
Unexpectedly, Li Cuicui took out a large porcelain bowl from somewhere and poured a bowl of water into it. "Here, will there be anything missing for you?"
"But, this is too little. It's not even enough to fill my stomach." Although Gu Dashi was disgusted, he held the bowl carefully with both hands.
"Then your teeth are really rough. This much water can block your mouth. If you don't like it, just give it back to me."
After saying that, Li Cuicui pretended to snatch the water back, and frightened Gu Dashi so much that he quickly picked up the bowl and drank it in two gulps.
"You don't have to stare at the water anymore. You borrowed water from Datian before and didn't return it. It's a good opportunity for you to return the water this time." Li Cuicui stood up while speaking, ready to do this thing at the same time.
"Datian doesn't want it now, you are the only one who has too much trouble."
"Just because others don't want it, you're going to not return it? I used to think that the youngest one was shameless, but it seems that he learned this from you." Li Cuicui ignored him. It seemed that he had suffered too little during this period of time, and it was time to teach him a lesson.
Seeing the old man staring at them with sparkling eyes, Gu Wenheng immediately protected Jin Qianqian and said, "We have walked a long way, let's go over there and take a rest. I see that Fifth Sister-in-law has already helped us clean up that area..."
"...Unfilial son," Gu Dashi waited for a long time until Gu Wenheng and the others walked away before he uttered these three words.
Jin Qianqian didn't even need to look back to guess how ugly Gu Dashi's face was. She pointed to her forehead and said, "Is there something wrong with your father? Apart from Gu Yuanlei, he has been the one who has caused the most trouble along the way."
Gu Wenheng, "It's okay, as long as the old lady is on top, he won't be able to cause any trouble.
He has always been partial to the younger one, otherwise he would not have failed to follow the old rules and throw each son out like a parcel when he gets married."
Jin Qianqian, "So, he separated these adult sons so that he could take better care of Gu Yuanlei?"
It is said that parents-in-law love their eldest grandson, and parents love their youngest son. I didn't expect to see such an obvious example here.
Gu Wenheng nodded. "Anyway, since I can remember, whenever there was delicious food at home, except for the portion that mom distributed fairly, the rest was secretly stuffed into the youngest kid's mouth by dad."
Jin Qianqian, "So it's this kind of partiality that makes Gu Yuanlei feel safe and secure, because there's always someone to help him clean up the mess.
But fortunately, mother is fair, otherwise the brothers would have had a hard time."
Gu Wenheng nodded with feeling, and said in a low voice, "So before we fully grow up, we must win over the old lady. With her at the top, others will not be able to make any waves."
Gu Wenheng also thought a lot along the way. If he wanted to live a better life in this dynasty in the future, in addition to having money in his hands, he also needed power.
Power is something that cannot be relied on by others; it must be grasped in one's own hands in order to last long.
Jin Qianqian, "Are you really preparing for the scientific examination? Are you sure?"
Gu Wenheng, "If you don't want to be exploited, the only option is to take the imperial examination.
But Qianqian, don't worry. Although your husband is studying economics, he has a lot of ideas in his head. With my intelligence and talent, and with more effort, it's only a matter of time before I pass the imperial examination."
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "This dynasty has too much suppression on women."
From the nine years of compulsory education to high school and college, I worked so hard for so many years, but everything was in vain.
Now I have to put up a sign that says I’m illiterate, which makes me depressed just thinking about it.
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget that men and women work together, and work is less tiring. From now on, I'll be in charge of the outside affairs, and you'll be in charge of the inside affairs. Don't underestimate this ancient courtyard life. If you don't have a high IQ, you won't be able to handle it." Gu Wenheng could only make up for it from other places and think of ways to comfort Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian took advantage of the cover of the gun jacket and suddenly put her hands around his waist. Gu Wenheng was caught off guard and jumped up in pain, but quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.
"Hiss! You are murdering your husband."
Jin Qianqian snorted coldly and gritted her teeth, "How many concubines do you plan to marry to make my life in the mansion more colorful?"
Gu Wenheng found that there were people watching the fun nearby. He held his waist seriously and gently stroked the part that was probably bruised and swollen.
She quickly smiled and said, "My dear aunt, my husband has no other intentions. I am thinking that if our living conditions improve in the future, we will have to support a lot of servants. Then you will be the biggest CEO in the mansion. If you have to compete with these people, you will have no time to rest."
"Is that so?" Jin Qianqian turned her head and looked at him. "This dynasty is a paradise for men like you. It is legal to have concubines, concubines, and concubines."
Gu Wenheng was jealous of the little girl, but he looked serious, "We both know each other's background. I have received an orthodox education, and my morals and etiquette are deeply rooted. Not only can you not accept it, but I can't accept it either."
Jin Qianqian, "You are right. Even in modern marriages, there is divorce, so divorce is not unacceptable."
