Chapter 804 806. Nameless 2
Gu Wenheng had long known that Gu Dashi had repeatedly proposed to go to the post with him.
He didn't care. At most he would allocate a yard and find some people to serve him. But he was afraid that his trouble would get people involved.
Li Cuicui had been worried since she saw her sons coming in. When she heard these words while standing at the door, she said sarcastically, "What else can you do in your life except causing trouble?
How about I ask Uncle San and the others to come and talk to you and see if you are suitable for a long journey?"
"You old woman only know how to use those old guys as an excuse. My son is already such a high official, do I still have to listen to them?"
Gu Dashi pondered in the room all day long, and he had already figured it out: everyone was trying to keep him in captivity.
He has no access to the outside world, so it is impossible for him to go out and enjoy the good life.
It's a rare occasion for Lao Qi to come back this time, so he might have to persuade him a few more times. Maybe Lao Qi has become soft-hearted after serving as an official for so many years.
"Do you dare to say this again in front of Uncle San and the others?" Li Cuicui looked at him with contempt, "Now that you have good food and shelter and are being served, you should be smiling secretly.
This is only because the sons are doing their best. Don’t you know what kind of life those old people who were paralyzed on the kang lived in the past?”
Gu Dashi slammed his legs, which had lost all feeling, and said, "I am willing to trade my life for these two legs. I don't want to live anymore if I have to look at your face all day long."
The brothers of the Gu family: “…” They have heard this too many times.
Gu Wenheng: "..." It seems that there has been no improvement after all these years.
Li Cuicui was already familiar with his routine, so she ignored him and turned to ask the Gu brothers, "Aren't you very busy? How did you have time to come here?"
Gu Dashi, “…I am their biological father, shouldn’t they come to see me?
No wonder I always felt that my sons were lukewarm towards me. It turns out that the reason is all because of you."
Li Cuicui, "...Yes, your sons are filial, you should be secretly happy."
Gu Yuanshui, "Mom, we brothers haven't been together for a long time, so we plan to get drunk tonight.
My seventh brother has already ordered a banquet from Tianfu Restaurant, and mother will join us for a drink then."
Gu Wenheng walked over and supported Li Cuicui, "Mom, you have worked hard these years..."
Gu Dashi snorted heavily, "Why does she work so hard? She has slaves and maids to order around, and she runs around all day long. I have worked hard all my life, but she is the one who sits back and enjoys the fruits of my labor."
Li Cuicui, "That's what I deserve. I raised these children by myself, and I paid much more than you did.
Even though you are lying on the kang, your family has not treated you badly. Don’t say this again in the future. It hurts our feelings.”
Gu Dashi had heard the unfinished meaning in Li Cuicui's words no less than a hundred times in the past. This was a threat to him. If he exhausted his emotions, there would be no one to help him.
He clenched his fists and said angrily, "If you guys are all going to drink, count me in as well.
I haven't had a drink in more than ten years. Whether I live or die depends on God's will. Luo Gang, help me clean up. I want to sit at the table today."
Luo Gang did not act immediately, but looked at the old lady.
Li Cuicui, "Since he wants to die, then help him dress.
I wonder if you can still talk to me like this tomorrow after drinking this?"
Ancient Dashi, "..."
Every time the doctors came, the family didn't even hide anything and let the doctors tell him some precautions in front of him.
He must strictly prohibit alcohol and greasy foods.
Will my already broken body get worse because of this alcohol?
Hesitation appeared on Gu Dashi's face, and sneer appeared on Li Cuicui's face.
The couple fought in front of their sons, which made Gu Wenheng and the others feel quite awkward. They all huddled quietly in a corner.
Li Cuicui urged, "You should make a decision quickly. If you really want to take the main seat, I'll have someone come over to help you wash up and change into festive clothes. Don't bring bad luck to this auspicious day."
His wife was full of disgust, which made Gu Dashi so angry that his face turned red and he gasped heavily, which frightened Luo Gang who was standing beside him and hurried forward to help him with his back.
Gu Yuanjin and the others couldn't just stand by and watch at this moment, so they winked at their younger brothers below and walked over to pat Gu Dashi on the back.
Gu Wenheng put his arm around the old lady's shoulders and said, "Mom, when you came back, weren't you planting vegetables in the backyard? I want to see what you planted."
Li Cuicui immediately smiled and said, "There are many of them. Now our family doesn't make a living by farming, so I just grow some vegetables to pass the time.
I don't plant too much of each thing, just a little bit and try different flavors.
Don’t you want to drink today? I’ll take you to the backyard and if there’s anything you want to eat, we can pick it up.”
It is said that food smells better from a distance than from near. If the other brothers wanted to spoil her food on weekdays, Li Cuicui would give them to them, but she would pull their ears and scold them for a long time before doing so.
Li Cuicui was of course generous to her son Gu Wenheng who had been away from her for a long time.
He didn't bother to embarrass Gu Dashi and took the lead to the backyard.
As soon as Li Cuicui, who had argued with him, left, Gu Dashi felt that the air was much fresher, and he complained to his sons, "If you want your father to live a few more years, then don't let me live with your mother anymore.
It would save her from meddling in everything. What's the point of living then?"
Gu Yuanjin had heard these words many times and didn't take them to heart. If you were to ask who was most afraid of death here, it would be Gu Dashi.
If he felt a little uncomfortable or had a minor illness or pain, he would complain for a few days and the doctor would have to call a few people to verify the situation before he could feel at ease.
Now he talks about death all the time, just to alienate his brothers.
Gu Yuanshui brought him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Dad, drink some water to quench your thirst. You talked too much today. If you don't moisten your throat, it will hurt tomorrow."
Gu Dashi took the cup, took a few sips, and then continued, "Look at this tea, it's very bland. I know we don't lack these things at home, but your mother likes to be a little picky about everything.
If you don’t know, you would think we are still the mountain people we used to be, living a very poor life.
Look at what you usually eat, seafood, meat and fish, but why do I only have some light side dishes? Sometimes I don't even want to add oil or water, and in less than a short while, I'm hungry again.
If you really want to be filial to your father, then don't be so harsh on me when it comes to food. I'm almost eating bitter food."
Gu Yuanjin listened to him talking more and more outrageously, and hurriedly said, "Dad, have you forgotten what the doctor said?
Besides, although your food is a little light, it is prepared with great care. We have tasted it and it is not much different."
