"I'm satisfied. If I'm not satisfied with this dowry, I'll be ganged up on."
"But Brother Nanxun, didn't you already give me your betrothal gifts?"
Sensing the regret in Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing winked playfully at him and said...
"naughty!"
Looking at Lin Qing's playful expression, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but pat her forehead and say something.
He knew Lin Qing was trying her best to make him happy, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Gu, what's going on?"
I was at work today when I suddenly received a mission from my superiors to secretly deliver something to Brother Gu and tell him that Gu Ge's leg had healed and that he and his wife had gotten their marriage certificate. I made this trip with a lot of questions in my mind, and he's still curious about it.
"Actually, it's nothing. I was switched at birth when I was a child. My biological father is the person who asked you to deliver this item today."
Upon hearing Wang Dongsheng's question, Gu Nanxun explained.
"So Brother Gu really isn't their biological son! I told you long ago, Brother Gu definitely isn't their biological son. With Brother Gu's looks and his demeanor, how could the Gu family possibly have produced such a child?"
Hearing Gu Nanxun's explanation, Wang Dongsheng said proudly, "Look how prescient I was! I saw at a glance that my brother Gu had no relation to the Gu family, and sure enough..."
"Yes, how can their family members, with their shifty and rat-like appearance, compare to Fourth Brother? Fourth Brother is obviously not their biological son. Only someone like Uncle Chen could have given birth to such a handsome and talented person as Fourth Brother."
Hearing Wang Dongsheng's words, Wang Haoran agreed. He had gone to the county town with Chen Bin to see Uncle Chen today, and that's when he found out that Brother Gu was actually Uncle Chen's biological son. He had even been thinking of having Uncle Chen recognize Brother Gu as his godson! Now, there's no need for that; he's his biological son.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law!"
Seeing that Gu Nanxun accepted the betrothal gifts from his uncle, Chen Bin was overjoyed. He knew that this meant that his brother Gu was willing to acknowledge his uncle. He had been worried that his brother Gu would not accept his uncle, but now everything was fine.
"Um!"
When Chen Bin called him, Gu Nanxun responded and patted Chen Bin on the shoulder.
"Fourth Brother..."
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's reply, Chen Bin was so excited he almost cried. He knew what that "hmm" meant: it meant he had been officially accepted by his fourth brother, it meant he had gained another older brother, and it meant his uncle and aunt could finally recognize their own son.
"..."
"That little bitch Lin Qing, she really has a lucky life!"
Listening to Hu Damei and Hu Ziqiang next door discussing Lin Qing's betrothal gifts, Li Hongmei looked in the direction of Lin Qing's house and cursed viciously.
She never expected that the cripple would actually get better, and even give Lin Qing so many wonderful things, so many betrothal gifts, each one something others could only dream of, while she...
She had thought that once Hu Ziqiang woke up, everything would be fine after they explained things clearly, but who knew that Hu Ziqiang would start punching and kicking her after waking up.
She wanted to leave the Hu family, but Hu Ziqiang tied her up at home and wouldn't let her leave. Moreover, Hu Ziqiang disregarded her injuries and forced her to share a room with him.
The thought of Hu Ziqiang moving on her body while bleeding made her feel nauseous, but she was helpless. Her resistance not only resulted in her being beaten, but also in her being tied up and having her freedom restricted.
"You little bitch, what are you looking at?"
As Li Hongmei was thinking, she was suddenly startled by Hu Ziqiang's voice.
"No...nothing was seen?"
Hearing Hu Ziqiang's cursing, Li Hongmei quickly spoke up, afraid that if she spoke too slowly, she would be beaten again.
"You bitch, you better behave yourself, or you'll regret it. I'm in this state because of you, you bitch."
Looking at Li Hongmei, Hu Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of that little bitch's dirty tricks. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for that little bitch Lin Qing's scheme and been made to look like a ghost? It's all because of that little bitch!" After saying that, Hu Ziqiang ignored Li Hongmei's injuries and pounced on her again...
"..."
"Old man, I heard that Tie Niu and that little bitch Lin Qing got their marriage certificate today, and he even gave that little bitch a whole truckload of betrothal gifts."
"There were three turns and one sound, 36 legs, cigarettes, alcohol, tea, snacks, cloth, and cotton quilts, which filled a whole truck."
“This is all our money! That Tie Niu dared to hide money, and he actually used our money to buy so many things for that little bitch.”
The thought of that truckload of things made Wang Dahua's heart ache, and she slapped her thigh repeatedly. She had seen the truckload of things today, but she didn't dare go near it, afraid that Lin Qing would beat her. The thought that all those things should have been hers made her heart ache terribly. Gu Tieniu was such an ingrate; so many good things, and he wouldn't give them to her. He didn't even acknowledge her or her parents anymore. She suffered at home every day, while he...
Thinking of this, Wang Dahua couldn't help but shed tears. She had really had a hard life. Her three sons had been sent to a farm for reform through labor, and her husband had stopped going out since he became lame, let alone working in the fields.
She had to work in the fields with her three daughters-in-law and two daughters to earn work points, and she was exhausted every day, her back aching and her body aching. Even then, she still couldn't get enough to eat. Then she looked at Gu Nanxun, who had a three-turn watch and a radio! And so much cloth, enough to make so many clothes! Why wasn't it hers?
"That's enough. I told you not to mention him again. Hasn't he ruined our family enough?"
Upon hearing Wang Dahua's words, Gu Changhe impatiently shouted that he didn't have such a ruthless, ungrateful son.
"..."
"Sis, if we go to see Fourth Brother, do you think he'll give us candy?"
At this moment, Gu Xiaoli, who was in another room, heard her parents arguing and said to Gu Xiaohua.
"What are you thinking? Stop dreaming. There's no way Fourth Brother would give us any food! He'd rather throw it away than give it to us."
Gu Xiaohua scoffed at Gu Xiaoli's question, saying that she wanted to eat too, but her fourth brother wouldn't give them any.
"Sigh! If only Fourth Brother hadn't cut ties with us, if only he were still at home!"
After listening to Gu Xiaohua's words, Gu Xiaoli said with a sigh.
She just couldn't understand why her parents insisted on kicking her fourth brother out of the house. She wished her parents hadn't kicked him out.
Would that mean my eldest, second, and third brothers wouldn't have to go to the farm for reform, my father's leg wouldn't be lame anymore, I wouldn't have to work in the fields anymore, I could live in a big house, and I could even try some of the good food from my fourth brother's place?
What a pity...
