Chapter 22 22. Ancient Yuan Feng
The more everyone listened, the angrier their faces became. No wonder He Tuping dared to say that the money was not used on him. It turned out that it would not count if it was used on his family members.
"The He family is really calculating. We are all old farmers, why would we be so particular? There must be several birthday celebrations, big and small? I wonder what kind of gifts my silly sister received on her birthday?" Gu Wenheng saw that no one had come to their senses, so he kindly helped them to point out the problem.
"We are all family, and this is based on everyone's willingness." He Tuping said softly.
"The difference is huge. He was trying to fleece a sheep, but now he has fleeced his own wife and is targeting the entire Gu family." Wang Caiyue put her hands on her hips and kept mocking, "Your He family is such a big family, but you are doing so badly that you have to ask for money to buy water?
Not really? I remember that my eldest brother-in-law was a peddler walking around the streets, how come he still remembered the dowry of his younger brother-in-law's wife?"
"Second sister-in-law, you are wrong," Li Xiaohua looked at Gu Yuanfeng with a look of disappointment, "How can this peddler do business at a loss? Didn't you hear what our little sister said just now? She was just giving a present.
This really amuses me. We have held several weddings at home, but I never saw the He family come along to give gifts. It turns out there is a rule, and this is only for taking in, not for giving out!"
"Don't say such harsh words. This is all Gu's own will." He Tuping looked embarrassed and felt dissatisfied with Gu Yuanfeng. He had told her before that he would let her come back alone, but he dragged her here to suffer such a punishment.
"Go back! I can't help you." Li Cuicui looked at Gu Yuanfeng with some disappointment. How come her daughter, who used to be quite smart, has become so dull now?
Gu Yuanfeng suddenly saw Jin Qianqian and ran towards her with the child in his arms. "Jin, since you used it as your dowry, you must have some extra. Lend me some first."
Jin Qianqian was a little overwhelmed. Wasn't she a spectator? Why did she have a role to play?
"I'm your sister, you can't just stand by and watch me die." Gu Yuanfeng had made up his mind before he came. If he couldn't borrow money from the old lady, he could only ask Jin Qianqian.
As for the other sisters-in-law, she never had any hope.
There were so many voices of opposition before, but when she spoke to Jin Qianqian, everyone fell silent.
Gu Wenheng could tell at a glance that Jin Qianqian was starting to act out of her imagination again, so he protected her behind him and said, "Sixth sister, we can't help you at all. Look at us in the previous county. We couldn't even afford to buy yellow rice, and we had to carry a bag of rice bran to get by until now."
At this point, he turned over the bamboo tube on his waist and said, "Look at us, we can't even pour out a drop of water. You need to live, don't your sister-in-law and I need it too?
Instead of begging us here, you might as well go back and beg your brother-in-law's eldest brother. He has made a lot of money along the way. If we need anything, we can get it from him."
"My eldest brother is not having a good life either." Before Gu Yuanfeng could say anything, He Tuping became anxious.
"No matter how hard his life is, it is still much better than the rest of us. We don't owe you anything, so please return to your own team."
Gu Wenheng's face turned serious, and the temperament cultivated in his family since childhood was highlighted. The oppressive feeling emanating from his body made He Tuping, who wanted to refute again, dare not utter another word.
When did the previously gentle brother-in-law become so imposing?
From his expression, Jin Qianqian seemed to see the high-spirited senior from the past. Even his ragged clothes could not conceal the boldness, nobility and elegance that emanated from his bones.
The Gu family members and villagers who were originally watching the show on the side also restrained their expressions and turned their heads away awkwardly.
Jin Qianqian's mouth corners curled up, her heart filled with pride.
But in Gu Yuanfeng's eyes, her smug look was just Jin Qianqian mocking them.
She held the child in one hand, took a few quick steps, and raised her hand towards Jin Qianqian.
Gu Wenheng reacted even faster than her, and he took Jin Qianqian with him, leaving her empty-handed. Due to inertia, the child in her arms was also thrown out by her.
Everyone standing nearby watching the excitement exclaimed in surprise, but it was Gu Letian, the eldest grandson of the Gu family, who was quick-witted and caught the man.
"Xiaocao?" Gu Yuanfeng waited until he stood firmly before starting to look for his daughter.
He Chuncao was frightened, and when she came to her senses, she burst into tears.
Hearing his daughter crying, Gu Yuanfeng snatched her from Gu Letian's arms and took her back.
"You little bastard, you dare to hide?..." Gu Yuanfeng was filled with anger and started cursing at Jin Qianqian.
Hearing this harsh and piercing scolding, Gu Wenheng felt his anger rising. He turned around and told Jin Qianqian, "Stand further away."
Before Jin Qianqian could understand what was happening, she saw Gu Wenheng rushing towards He Tuping, who was watching the fun on the side, raising his fist and beating him in the face.
"What are you doing?" Gu Yuanfeng finally reacted, but He Tuping, who was unprepared, had already been beaten to the ground.
"A man who lives off his wife and children, are you still a man?" Gu Wenheng cursed after every punch, "Do you really think we Gu family members are easy to bully? I married a good girl to you and gave her a large dowry, but after only a few years, she actually came to her parents' home for help.
You teach your son in front of others and teach your wife behind their backs. Look, I had a good sister, but you turned her into a shrew. Look at what kind of family education you have?
If you dare to cause trouble for my wife today, will you offend all my sisters-in-law next time?
A woman's dowry is the support her family gives her, and it is also her face. Your family schemed against my sister, and now you want to scheme against my brothers. You really have a good plan."
The Gu brothers and the woman, who had nothing to do with the matter, became serious. They thought that the He family might really have such a plan.
If Lao Qi and his wife compromise this time, will this guy have more excuses to come to their house next time?
When Gu Yuanfeng saw He Tuping lying on the ground, he quickly put the child on the ground and tried to pull Gu Wenheng.
Jin Qianqian was not polite this time. She grabbed the man and shouted, "Sixth sister, I know you are very disappointed with your brother-in-law, but you can't kick him. He is your husband."
As for whether the couple would have a disagreement in the future? Jin Qianqian said she didn't want to know. When Gu Yuanfeng was about to attack her and started to curse, this family was already on the opposite side.
Hong Daya also quickly stuffed Le Shun directly into Gu Yuantu's arms, "Sixth sister, don't be impulsive. Even though your brother-in-law was rude to the elders in the family, you can't do anything. Let's go to the side and calm down."
Gu Yuanfeng couldn't listen to what others were saying now, "Let go, don't stop me."
