The Xu family doesn't care about saving face anymore.
Now that Xu Honglian has divorced Gu Changqing, they will try to seize all the benefits they can get their hands on at once.
After all, there won't be a next time, right?
Sure enough, after the Xu family left, the second branch of the Gu family, which originally had a few belongings, is now completely empty; even a blanket has been taken away.
Gu Changqing sat on the stone bench by the door, without saying a word.
He Meizhu walked in from outside and saw her second son sitting on the ground looking dejected. Looking at the messy house, she couldn't help but curse the Xu family members as scoundrels.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? You just let them steal when they were robbing you?"
After cursing the Xu family, He Meizhu turned to Gu Changqing and asked him a question.
There may be some conflicts between the mother and son, but when it comes to external matters, He Meizhu still keeps things separate and knows what is more important.
Gu Changqing did not look up.
He didn't even answer a single word.
His dejected appearance made He Meizhu extremely disappointed! After scolding Gu Changqing a few more times, He Meizhu stormed back to their home to discuss with Gu Jianhua that they couldn't let the Xu family bully them like this.
Gu Jianhua was tending the chicken coop in the yard when he heard He Meizhu slam the door, and he frowned.
He Meizhu had already come to her side.
"Gu Jianhua, we can't let the Xu family bully us like this, can we?"
"What's wrong? Did they insult you?"
Gu Jianhua asked slowly and deliberately, his unhurried attitude a stark contrast to He Meizhu's.
"No, I'm telling you, Dad, the Xu family isn't just bullying the second son, they're slapping the face of our entire Gu family. Aren't you going to do anything about this?"
"What do we care? Your second son offered himself up to get slapped. It's none of our business."
Gu Jianhua had been the brigade leader for so many years, and he saw things much more clearly than He Meizhu.
Take the case of Gu Changqing and Xu Honglian as an example. Although Gu Changqing divorced Xu Honglian and lost a lot of things from the house, he also used this incident to establish his image as a victim.
The loss of certain things led the villagers to believe that Gu Changqing was the one who was completely bullied in this marriage...
If it weren't for this purpose, this is the Gu family's home. In Dawan Village, as long as the owner gives a shout, no outsider could take anything from here.
Ultimately, it was Gu Changqing who deliberately let the Xu family take away his things.
The purpose is the one mentioned earlier.
He Meizhu didn't understand this, but Gu Jianhua saw it very clearly. At the same time, he was also reflecting on how Gu Changqing had become like this.
Is this still his son?
Gu Jianhua was somewhat hesitant to acknowledge him.
He Meizhu hadn't expected the twists and turns involved. Hearing her husband's explanation, her face gradually turned pale. After Gu Jianhua finished speaking, she took a few steps back.
"No...no way...the second brother...how could his thoughts...how could they be so deep?"
He Meizhu didn't really believe it.
She always believed that Gu Changqing's thoughts couldn't possibly be that deep.
Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Gu Jianhua shook his head: "Anyway, you shouldn't meddle in this matter. We've already separated. He lives his life, and we live ours."
"If you keep interfering, once those two brats are sent back by the Xu family, the second son will dump them on you."
Gu Jianhua's words were very prescient.
He Meizhu was, after all, a woman, and Gu Changqing was her own son, so it was difficult for her to truly be ruthless towards him.
However, the thought of taking care of her two grandsons made He Meizhu's face turn somewhat dry.
…………
Xu Honglian and her group returned to the Xu family home, chatting and laughing as they carried a pile of things. Old Mrs. Xu came out to greet them, and when she saw what they had brought back, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
"This quilt is good, this quilt is good! Oh, this must be an iron pot, right? My iron pot at home just broke, this pot is perfect..."
Old Mrs. Xu smiled as she touched the things in the hands of the Xu family members.
"These are all from my son-in-law's apology? Where is he? What else did he send besides these things?" Old Mrs. Xu was still dreaming!
They thought Gu Changqing had other things to offer as apology.
The Xu family members smiled and glanced at Xu Honglian, whose face was extremely pale. They then took the things they were carrying into their respective rooms.
They stole this; they certainly won't give it to Old Lady Xu.
When Old Mrs. Xu saw that her son and daughter-in-law had taken all the things they brought back to their respective rooms, she was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She then walked in with her bound feet, cursing as she went.
"You heartless bastards, where are you taking my things? They were gifts from my son-in-law, give them all back now!"
It has to be said that the Xu family members are all the same, with a mysterious self-confidence.
Xu Honglian stood there, looking at her mother with great embarrassment. Old Man Xu, on the other hand, stepped forward with a sour face and stopped Old Woman Xu, who was cursing indiscriminately.
"Stop shouting, these are theirs."
"What?"
Old Mrs. Xu never expected that her husband wouldn't speak up for her.
"What do you mean by this? Weren't these all sent by Changqing? Gu Changqing is my son-in-law, aren't the things he sent meant for his mother-in-law?"
After finishing her sentence, Old Mrs. Xu made a move to go up and knock on the door to ask for something.
