Gu Changshan stood there, pale-faced, looking at Gu Jianhua, who was panting heavily across from him.
His back, buttocks, legs, shoulders, and arms—wherever he had been whipped—were now burning with pain.
Gu Jianhua threw the remaining piece of rattan on the ground and looked at Gu Changshan opposite him with a cold smile.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"When Liu Chun beat Daya and Erya, did you ever think that they were in just as much pain as you are now?"
Gu Jianhua questioned Gu Changshan.
Gu Changshan was stunned by the pain.
Even at this point, he still harbored a glimmer of hope.
“Dad, Liu Chun is a woman, she doesn’t have your strength.”
In short, does that mean you can hit someone even if you don't have that much strength?
Gu Jianhua laughed in exasperation.
"Why don't you go and see Da Ya and Er Ya's thin little bodies too?"
"dad……"
Gu Changshan was in the wrong.
Gu Jianhua didn't want to spend even a second with his brainless eldest son.
He gave him a final ultimatum.
"In short, Gu Changshan, let me tell you, whether they are boys or girls, they are all your children. Since you brought them into this world, you must treat them all equally."
“If I ever see you two abusing Da Ya and Er Ya again, don’t blame me for opening the ancestral hall and expelling you from the Gu family.”
Opening the ancestral hall and expelling the Gu family... this punishment was truly severe.
Gu Changshan was stunned.
Gu Jianhua ignored him and turned to leave Gu Changshan's house.
This wretched son of his makes him feel annoyed just looking at him.
Even after leaving Gu Changshan's house, Gu Jianhua was still extremely upset. He couldn't understand how he could have such a son, Gu Changshan, Gu Changqing… He couldn't help but reflect on his past, wondering if his parenting had been a failure.
He asked himself honestly, and he and Lao He treated all four children equally.
If we're talking about who was mistreated by them, it might be the most mischievous fourth child.
When Gu Changzheng was a child, he often caused trouble and was often beaten by him.
To his shame, he had always thought that the fourth brother would be the most troublesome and the worst off among his brothers when he grew up, but he never expected that Gu Changzheng would be the most successful and sensible one...
Thinking of this, Gu Jianhua couldn't help but sigh heavily.
This might also be related to the daughter-in-law he married.
Whether it's Gu Changshan's wife, Gu Changqing's ex-wife, or Miao Yuan, whom he later married, none of them seem to be good people. So, it's no wonder that Gu Changshan and Gu Changqing aren't exactly on good terms...
In the end, Jiaojiao is the one who understands the道理 (reason/principle) best!
The fourth son, a good-for-nothing, has been reformed into such a sensible person, all thanks to his wife, Huaijiao.
If the fourth son's wife were like Liu Chun, Miao Yuan, or even Xu Honglian in the past, he would definitely be led astray. Therefore, the ancient saying, "A virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband," is truly true.
Gu Jianhua couldn't help but want to praise Lu Huaijiao again.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Gu Changhe's voice rang out, and Gu Jianhua looked up to see Gu Changhe standing to the side.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Gu Jianhua smiled and waved his hand.
"I'm fine, you can go back now."
"good."
Gu Changhe didn't say anything.
After Gu Jianhua finished speaking, he also left and went home.
Lu Huaijiao was playing with her three children in the yard when they heard the door open and saw Gu Jianhua walk in. The triplets put down what they were holding and ran up to him.
"grandfather."
"Grandpa, give me a hug."
"hug."
The triplets reached out and hugged Gu Jianhua's legs together.
The affection his three grandsons showed him instantly lifted Gu Jianhua's somewhat heavy mood. He bent down and smiled as he played with the triplets.
“You all want to carry me, but Grandpa only has two hands, how can he carry three people?”
This question is really asking triplets.
They looked at each other, and in the end, Gu Xingzhi, the eldest brother, took a half step back.
"Hold your little brother."
At such a young age, she has already learned to give way to her younger brother.
This small gesture made Gu Jianhua laugh uncontrollably.
"Okay, okay, our Da Bao is such a good boy. Grandpa will hold your little brother for a bit, and then he can hold Da Bao, okay?"
"good."
The small child, with bright eyes and exceptionally sensible nature, greatly comforted Gu Jianhua, who was feeling down.
Laughter from the grandfather and his grandson soon filled the courtyard.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at it, then walked into the kitchen with a smile to see if He Meizhu needed any help.
Although she can't cook, she can still help with other chores.
When He Meizhu saw her come in, she smiled and said, "Dinner will be ready soon."
"Mmm, what delicious food did Mom make? It smells so good."
"Pork stew with peanuts".
He Meizhu answered with a smile.
Lu Huaijiao nodded and hummed in agreement.
"I'll take food to Daya and Erya."
She knew that He Meizhu sometimes found it difficult to speak up because she felt that the elderly people lived with them and it was inappropriate for her to make decisions arbitrarily.
This is where Lu Huaijiao needs to speak up.
She is not stingy when it comes to feeding her child a meal, and it doesn't matter if she feeds him several meals.
He Meizhu glanced at Lu Huaijiao and agreed.
"Take out your lunchbox, I'll pack some for them."
"Um."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed the food for Daya and Erya together. He Meizhu put the food in a bamboo basket, covered it with a cloth, and then handed it to Lu Huaijiao to deliver to Daya and Erya.
Come back soon.
