Chapter 269 Stealing
"Just now I heard your aunt say that her eldest son has two children, six or seven years old, who used to spend their days fighting cocks and chasing dogs around the village. Didn't you hear that you're going to recruit students after the New Year and you want to squeeze your grandchildren in?"
So that's how it is.
She said that Liu was too enthusiastic towards her just now.
"Anyway, you have to take care of yourself later. Your aunt doesn't like Liu."
"Okay, I understand." No wonder she saw her aunt-in-law speaking to Liu in a sarcastic tone just now.
However, my aunt-in-law has grown a lot during this period. If it were in the past, she would have definitely jumped up and beaten the guy.
My aunt-in-law only rolls her eyes now, which is already a big improvement.
Sure enough, you still have to study. Look, how long has Gu Yuhe been teaching? My aunt has become quiet.
The aunt and niece talked while they worked. Li, who had settled Gu Huangtai, also came in to help. For a moment, the kitchen became more lively, and outside, Liu started to make trouble again.
The Gu family now has a large house, and everyone has their own room. So even after Gu Chunyan got married, her room was still preserved, and nothing inside was moved.
Since moving here, the Gu family's life has become better. In addition, Gu Chunyan has learned the embroidery skills and can earn money on her own, so there are still several nice things in the room.
Especially the two mahogany boxes, which my uncle spent a lot of money to find the best carpenter in the village to make using huanghuali wood.
I heard that the huanghuali tree was accidentally seen by my uncle when he went into the mountains more than ten years ago. At that time, he wanted to cut it down and keep it as a dowry for his daughter.
It was kept in such good condition even after more than ten years that the carpenter who made the box at that time was very jealous and wanted to buy it.
Liu walked into the room regardless, looked left and right, and immediately saw the two mahogany boxes placed on the bedside.
"Oh, why are there two brand new boxes here? Did you forget about them on the wedding day? Let's move them together when we get home." She said as she was about to open the boxes.
Gu Chunyan was originally outside with her aunt and some of her sisters. When she saw Liu acting suspiciously, she felt something was wrong. So she followed her to see what she was up to.
What did she see? A mother-in-law actually went into her daughter-in-law's room and rummaged around? How could this be?
"What are you going to do?" Gu Chunyan hurried forward to stop him.
But Liu was faster and opened the box with one force.
Inside the box were several sets of clothes, two pieces of cloth and a jewelry box.
The jewelry box contained the jewelry that Gu Jiayue had given her before and some copper coins she had bought herself. There were many people around on the day of her wedding, so she left the valuables at home and did not take them with her, thinking that she would come back to get them after she settled down in her husband's family.
Liu saw the jewelry box at a glance, her eyes lit up instantly, and she reached out to take it without caring about Gu Chunyan behind her?
Will the furious Gu Chunyan let her get her wish?
She took two steps forward and, regardless of the fact that Liu's hand was still in the box, she closed the open box with force.
"Ah! Open it quickly, my hand is going to break." The wooden box lid fell right on her wrist, and he felt his hand was broken.
But Gu Chunyan still pressed hard, not giving her any chance to break free.
Liu didn't expect Gu Chunyan to be so cruel and didn't care about her mother-in-law's identity at all.
"You little bitch, I'm your mother-in-law, how dare you hurt me? Do you believe I can let my son divorce you?"
"What's wrong with looking at your things? You married into our Qian family, and you belong to ours. When you die, even your ashes will belong to ours. What's wrong with a few junks now?"
Liu's voice was trembling with pain and was very sharp, so loud that everyone outside could hear it.
Qian Yulin had a bad feeling when he saw his wife stand up with a gloomy face. But remembering the promise his mother had made him before they left, he swallowed his uneasiness and continued talking with his father-in-law.
But he lost his composure instantly when he heard Liu's sharp voice.
He didn't care about his father-in-law's ugly face at all, stood up and ran towards the source of the sound.
When he arrived, he saw his mother-in-law pulling his mother's hair and slapping her wildly.
"You shameless old bitch, how dare you come to my daughter's room and rummage through things. Shameless!" The aunt became more and more angry as she spoke. She had forgotten all the things that Gu Yuhe had taught her during this period.
Now, at this moment, she just wanted to teach this child who was born but not raised by his mother a profound lesson.
He actually dared to steal her daughter's things. He really didn't bother to find out about Su Mei's reputation!
"Ah, I'll fight you!" Liu was beaten dizzy and her old face was swollen like a pig's head.
Unfortunately, she injured one of her hands and was unable to launch an effective attack on her aunt.
But even so, Gu Chunyan, who was watching from the side, still felt that her mother was being bullied.
She was taught by her grandmother to be a gentle and quiet woman since she was a child, but her mother is Su Mei!
"You dare to hit my mother?" He threw away the jewelry box, rolled up his sleeves and joined the fight.
So when Qian Yulin came in, he saw Gu Chunyan and her daughter pinning his mother to the ground and beating her violently. If it weren't for the clothes she was wearing, he wouldn't have recognized that the woman on the ground, who looked so much like the crazy woman, was his mother.
His throat felt a little tight, and he turned around to ask for help from his father-in-law who had followed him, but his father-in-law snorted and left with his hands behind his back.
Well, as long as my wife and daughter don’t suffer any loss, that’s enough.
As for the woman who was pressed to the ground, he was not very familiar with her. What did she have to do with an honest man like him?
Qian Yulin had no choice but to step forward. "My dear mother, please have mercy on me. My mother is dying."
He knew his mother's character better than anyone else. She must have done something bad again, otherwise she wouldn't be beaten like this on New Year's Day.
The aunt looked up and saw that it was her new son-in-law.
Although he was still angry, he thought that it was New Year's Day and it would not be a good thing if he beat his son-in-law's mother to death.
So she let go of Liu and pulled her daughter up.
Qian Yulin glanced at Gu Chunyan, and after noticing the coldness on her face, he bent down with a complicated expression and helped Liu up from the ground.
When Liu saw that it was her son, she immediately became excited. "Yulin, look at the good wife you married, and now she hits me. She hits your mother. We can't have such an uneducated woman in our family. Divorce her! Divorce her immediately!"
"Mom!" Looking at the somewhat crazy Liu, Qian Yulin felt very helpless.
"Qian Yulin! Are you still my son? Didn't you see how badly they beat me? Do you still have a conscience?"
"I tell you, if you don't divorce Gu today, I will no longer recognize you as my son!" Liu used her ultimate move.
In the past, whenever he said this, Qian Yulin would compromise and give her all his wages.
So she was certain that Qian Yulin would compromise this time.
She's just a woman. The Qian family can marry one, and they can also marry a second.
"Mom, can you please stop making trouble? Let's go find a doctor to check your hand first." Qian Yulin didn't dare to respond, and even more so didn't dare to look at Gu Chunyan's expression.
Faced with Qian Yulin's pleading, Liu did not intend to back down.
"Good, good, my good son has grown up. Has he forgotten that his mother had to work in the fields in the middle of summer while pregnant with him? Has he forgotten that his mother almost died of heavy bleeding in the cornfield when giving birth to him? Has he forgotten the days when his mother would rather starve than save her food rations for him?"
"Oh my God, please open your eyes and take a look. They say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. I'm not even old yet, but my son has already forgotten me after getting married. How am I supposed to live my life from now on? I might as well just die."
As she spoke, she was about to crash into the pillar beside her.
Qian Yulin nervously held Liu in his arms. He looked at Gu Chunyan pleadingly. "My wife!"
