Liu Chun, who was busy cooking at home, was completely unaware of what was happening in Liujia Village.
Gu Changshan went out this morning, leaving her alone in the kitchen. Usually, the tasks that Daya and Erya did fell to her, and some of the tedious tasks inevitably annoyed her.
While working, he cursed Daya and Erya for being good-for-nothings, staying at the health station for so many days without coming back.
The two of them were capable of living at the health station for their entire lives.
Liu Chun was cursing and swearing, but when she turned her head and saw Gu Jiabao sitting on a chair to the side, a smile appeared on her face again.
"Jiabao, don't be afraid. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your sister."
"Those two are just lazy good-for-nothings, that's why Mother scolded them."
"Unlike our baby, who is my precious darling."
Liu Chun comforted Gu Jiabao for a moment, then turned around and went back to attending to her business.
A sound came from outside the house. Liu Chun turned around instinctively and found someone standing behind Gu Jiabao, holding a brick and about to smash it on Gu Jiabao's head.
Liu Chunren is almost going crazy.
What are you doing?
She screamed and was about to pounce when she realized that the person standing behind her precious son was Gu Changzheng.
Liu Chun was startled.
"Fourth Uncle, what... what are you trying to do?"
Because I was so scared, my voice was trembling when I spoke.
"Don't scare Jiabao, he's your own nephew..."
Gu Changzheng's lips curled into a cold smile.
"So what if they're your own nephews? Da Ya and Er Ya are your own daughters, and you can abuse them as you please, can't you?"
As he spoke, he brought the brick in his hand even closer to Gu Jiabao's head.
"Sister-in-law, is it because you have a son that your daughter's life is worth less than grass? If that's the case, then for the sake of Daya and Erya, we might have to kill your son."
"It's such a pity. Such a young child, who doesn't know anything yet, is about to be killed by his own mother."
As Gu Changzheng spoke, he shook his head and sighed.
It was as if what came out of his mouth wasn't killing a child, but crushing an ant.
"His fourth uncle..."
Liu Chun was terrified; her son was her life!
Startled by Gu Changzheng's words, she stood there, too afraid to move, her mind racing, trying to come up with a plan to make Gu Changzheng let go.
"Fourth...Fourth brother...Please, please spare Jiabao! He's my and your eldest brother's only son..."
"What about Daya and Erya? Did they deserve to be beaten to death by you?"
Gu Changzheng stretched out his other hand, making a gesture as if to grab Gu Jiabao's neck.
Liu Chun knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"No, I won't hit them anymore. I will never hit them again. Fourth brother, please release Jiabao. As long as you release Jiabao, I will never hit Daya and Erya again."
In desperation, this was the only promise she could make.
Gu Changzheng stopped what he was doing.
"If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
"Fourth brother... fourth brother..." Liu Chun knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, pleading with Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng sneered.
"You'd better remember what you said today. If you dare to misbehave with Daya and Erya again, who knows what might happen to your precious son?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
He didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground again.
He left the courtyard of the main house, and only then did he hear Liu Chun's heart-wrenching cries, as if her parents had died. She got up from the ground, hugged Gu Jiabao, and cried pitifully.
Some might think that Gu Changzheng's use of the child to threaten Liu Chun was a rather despicable tactic. However, for someone like Liu Chun, the best approach was to use Gu Jiabao to threaten her.
Because Gu Jiabao is the apple of her eye.
She used her precious child to warn her that from now on, before she even thinks about hitting Daya and Erya, she'll think about whether her own son is safe too...
I don't expect her to be exceptionally kind to the two sisters, Daya and Erya, but at least she shouldn't abuse them. When they grow up, they'll decide for themselves whether to leave or stay in this family.
The key is to save their lives first.
After leaving the main house, Gu Changzheng went to find Gu Changshan.
Gu Changshan was working in the field when Gu Changzheng called him out. He didn't use the same methods he used against the Liu family or against Liu Chun on his muddle-headed older brother.
The two brothers chatted for a long time, but no one knew what they were talking about. Gu Changshan's face grew darker and darker. Gu Changzheng patted him on the shoulder and went home first.
Gu Changshan glanced at the yellow mud under his feet, then wiped the mud off his shoes in the snow-covered grass on the ridge of a nearby field before turning and walking toward the health station.
The fourth brother is right; daughters should be treated well too. What if the son becomes unfilial in the future? Then there will be no daughter to rely on.
If he and his daughter become enemies, and his son becomes unfilial, he will starve when he gets old.
It must be said that Gu Changzheng is very good at using methods and winning people's hearts when doing things.
For the Liu family, it was about using the people they cared about as a threat; for Gu Changshan, it was about using the example of a son in the village who didn't respect his parents.
Putting aside the distant future, if in the future Gu Jiabao marries a wife like Liu Chun, Miao Yuan, or Xu Honglian, who is unwilling to be filial to her elders, then ask Gu Changshan what to do.
When his wife's name was mentioned, Gu Changshan felt a little embarrassed, but he had to admit it was true.
