Chapter 40 The Gu Family Comes Knocking



Who are you? What do you want?

Upon seeing the mother and son rush in, Wang Haoran immediately stood up, and Chen Bin followed suit, staring coldly at the two who had stormed in.

What are you doing here?

Gu Nanxun also put down his chopsticks and looked at the mother and son who had barged in, and said coldly.

"Little brother, where have you been? Mom and I were so worried. We came looking for you just now, but we couldn't find you. Mom even cried. We looked everywhere for you, but we couldn't find you."

Gu Nanxun's third brother, Gu Tiezhu, tugged at Wang Dahua's sleeve and said with a smile.

"What do you need me for?"

Gu Nanxun seemed not to see Gu Tiezhu's smiling face and asked with a cold expression.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your mother. Can't I come to you if I don't have something to say?"

Looking at Gu Nanxun's cold face, Wang Dahua said unhappily, "You brat, you've never been liked since you were little. Who are you trying to impress with that sour face all the time? If it weren't for the house, I wouldn't even bother looking at your deadpan expression!"

"Little brother, we're here to take you home. You have no idea how worried your parents have been while you were away. They've even lost weight. Pack your things and come back with us!"

"Heh...where did you lose weight? You look perfectly fine, you've even gained a few pounds!"

Seeing Gu Tiezhu blatantly lying, Gu Nanxun gave a cold laugh and said.

"Little brother, you're joking. Look how much weight Mom has lost. She's been worried about you every day lately, not eating or sleeping well, and she looks so haggard."

Lin Qing glanced at Wang Dahua, whose face was rosy, and thought to herself that Nanxun's brother was too shameless. He lied without batting an eye and his skin was too thick.

“I remember we had broken off relations.”

"Gu Tieniu, what do you mean? I'm your mother. Don't you even recognize your own mother?"

Wang Dahua shouted angrily, saying that she had come to take him home out of kindness, and he still dared to put on airs.

“It was true before, but it’s not true now. It’s been true ever since you threw me out of the house. We’ve severed ties. Please leave my house.”

"Little brother, how hurtful it must be for Mom to hear you say that! It wasn't easy for her to raise you, and you can't hurt her feelings by saying such things just because of a little argument. Every family has disagreements! Stop being so temperamental."

Gu Tiezhu glanced at the food on the table, swallowed hard, and then said earnestly.

"What do you mean by saying it wasn't easy for you to raise Nanxun? Did you even raise him? Let's not even talk about how Nanxun worked every day and did chores at home. He ate what he earned himself. Even some of the food your family ate was earned by Nanxun. He joined the army at 18, and for six years he sent 30 yuan home every month, which is 360 yuan a year, and 2160 yuan over six years. Add to that Nanxun's 1000 yuan pension, and that's a total of 4160 yuan. The house you built, the wives you three brothers got married—weren't all of that earned by Nanxun? You say you raised Nanxun? Wasn't it Nanxun who raised your whole family?"

Seeing Gu Tiezhu morally blackmailing Gu Nanxun, Lin Qing said unhappily.

“Young Lin, that’s not how it works. Look around our village, which family isn’t like that? All the money we three brothers earn is given to our parents.”

"Yes, that's how it is in every household, but no family would kick their son out of the house after he injured his legs, not give him a penny or a bite of food, and then just watch him starve to death."

“Young Lin, what are you saying? He’s my son. Would I watch him die? If he were starving to death, would I abandon him? Look at him, he’s doing just fine. He’s better off than any of us now! He’s eating white rice and meat, while his parents can’t even afford that.”

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Wang Dahua said unhappily.

"hehe……"

"You mean he should thank you for not starving to death? He didn't starve to death because of you? How can you say that?"

"Little Lin, don't be angry. My mom is just straightforward. She's actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside. That's why she came to pick up my little brother today. My mom feels sorry for him too! Otherwise, why would she come to pick him up?"

As he spoke, Gu Tiezhu tugged at Wang Dahua's arm again and whispered "house" in her ear.

Gu Tiezhu spoke in a low voice, but Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, who had been drinking spiritual spring water, had particularly sensitive ears.

Upon hearing Wang Dahua's words, Gu Nanxun's face turned ashen, and his hands clenched into fists, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

Lin Qing patted Gu Nanxun's shoulder reassuringly, thinking to herself that it was no wonder the mother and son had suddenly come to her door; they had their eyes on her house.

Wang Dahua's expression changed several times before she finally managed a weak smile and said, "Tie Niu! Mom knows you resent me, but I was just angry for a moment. I just wanted you to back down. Why won't you listen?"

As she spoke, Wang Dahua even faked a couple of tears.

“Yes, little brother, Mom and Dad regret it. Come home with us. Big brother, second brother and little sister miss you too. Come on, third brother will help you pack your things.”

As he spoke, Gu Tiezhu walked towards the cabinet. He had already seen the biscuits and malted milk powder on the cabinet by the bedside.

"What are you doing? Let go."

Gu Tiezhu's hand, which was reaching for the malted milk powder, was suddenly grabbed. Gu Tiezhu turned his head and saw Chen Bin, who had been silent all along.

"This isn't yours, you can't take it."

Chen Bin said coldly.

"You brat, let go of my son!"

Seeing that Gu Tiezhu's hand was grabbed by Chen Bin, Wang Dahua rushed towards Chen Bin without hesitation.

Chen Bin grabbed Gu Tiezhu's hand and blocked him forward, causing Wang Dahua to fall on top of Gu Tiezhu, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you hit me."

Seeing himself and his mother fall to the ground, Gu Tiezhu got up, raised his fist, and punched Chen Bin.

Chen Bin reached out and grabbed Gu Tiezhu's fist, then forcefully threw him over his shoulder, slamming him to the ground.

Gu Tiezhu fell to the ground and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.

"Oh God, I can't live like this! The educated youth are bullying me! My Tiezhu!"

"Everyone come quick! The educated youth are beating someone up..."

Suddenly, Wang Dahua sat down next to Gu Tiezhu, hugged him, and started howling loudly.

"Auntie, don't be unreasonable. Who bullied you? You were the ones who tried to take our things first. When you couldn't win, you resorted to violence. We were acting in self-defense."

Seeing Wang Dahua throwing a tantrum, Wang Haoran walked over to Chen Bin and said something.

"Oh dear, my son, you've suffered so much! It's all because your mother is useless that you were bullied by the educated youth!"

"Ouch! Mom, it hurts so much! I can't move. I can't let them get away with this."

Seeing Wang Dahua crying, Gu Tiezhu's eyes suddenly darted around. He thought to himself, "It seems my little brother won't be going home with them today. Since I can't get anything from him, I'll try to get something from the educated youth! I heard that this Chen educated youth is also very rich."
