Liu Dequan ran to Accountant Zhou's house.
He now wishes his entire family would just disappear on the spot.
It hurts my eyes if I look at it for even a second.
Soon, he came running back.
He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and looked at his wife, "Take out the money in your hand."
Liu Dequan's wife looked pained, her heart bleeding; this was all her worldly possessions!
She saved up for many years to earn this!
Judging from her expression, Liu Dequan guessed what she was thinking.
Did she think he just wanted to give it to her?
Isn't there no other way?
He snatched the money from her hand, counted it, and then handed the thick wad of cash to Old Master Gu.
"Grandpa, count it! There's a total of one thousand yuan here."
Grandpa Gu generously accepted the money from his hand, moistened his index finger with saliva, and began counting the bills one by one.
The Liu family members gritted their teeth as they watched; his serious expression clearly showed that he didn't trust him.
But this is for the best.
Today, in front of everyone, we've settled this matter clearly, and from now on, the two families will have nothing to do with each other.
The old man counted the money carefully, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "Alright, let's just leave it at that!"
Once the two families had clarified the matter, the village chief quickly handed them a mediation agreement.
"Both of you should sign the papers, and this marriage will be officially annulled!"
The two companies signed the papers in turn.
Grandpa Gu waved to the Gu family, "Let's go home."
The Gu family's triumphant return should have been a very happy occasion.
Seeing Gu Yansong's dejected appearance, everyone consciously lowered their voices.
After that, the journey fell into complete silence.
Upon arriving home, Grandpa Gu repeatedly invited Grandma Gu and her family to have dinner at his house to express his gratitude.
But Second Grandma waved her hand, "Big Brother, let's forget about it!"
We're not outsiders, why bother with all that formalities?
I think Yansong has suffered such a big loss, it will probably take him some time to recover.
Let's just let him have some peace and quiet!
Grandpa Gu sighed, "Alright, Second Grandma, thank you so much for today!"
Second Grandma led her third son straight back.
Gu Yansong looked like a wilted eggplant, completely devoid of energy.
As soon as he returned, he sat quietly on the steps under the eaves.
Old Master Gu's eyes flickered, and without even taking a sip of water, he gathered his family in the main room.
After everyone was seated, he took the money out of his pocket and stuffed it into Gu Yansong's hand.
Gu Yansong was puzzled. "Grandpa, just keep your money."
It would be good to buy some things for the house.
Old Master Gu glared at him angrily, "Take it, this is what you deserve, none of us have the right to touch this money."
And don't look so dejected with me, the sky isn't going to fall.
Even if the sky falls, your grandpa's still here; he can hold it up for you.
Gu Yansong's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked.
"Grandpa, I... I'm so useless!"
And I've made you all lose face along with me."
He could already foresee that in the days to come, he would become the talk of the town in the surrounding villages.
After all, few people in the village get divorced, let alone a son-in-law who was kicked out of his wife's home.
At that time, I'm afraid my family will be implicated and suffer the scorn of others.
Grandpa Gu gently patted his shoulder and said earnestly,
"Yansong, life is long, and no one can guarantee that they won't encounter any obstacles or setbacks."
We may be sad, but we have to get back up and keep going.
We can't just stay in that pit forever.
Besides, your grandfather is already so old, why would he be afraid of a few idle words?
Gu Yanliu laughed and said, "Big brother, don't worry. If anyone dares to gossip about you, I'll beat them up for you."
Grandpa Gu turned around and glared at her. "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened today!"
You're a young lady, and you still go to other villages to fight!
Look how capable you think you are!
Gu Yanliu shrank back and whispered in defense, "I didn't cause any trouble."
You can clean it up if you want!
Anyway, I beat up the Liu family, and that made me feel good.
Grandpa Gu looked at her with some helplessness, but he had to admit that his granddaughter had done a really good job today!
But I can't let her know this, otherwise she'll definitely escalate her behavior even further.
"Remember this for today. If you disobey me again in the future, I'll settle all the old scores and new scores together."
Their interruption immediately eased the previously serious and somber atmosphere.
Gu Yansong felt much lighter. He clutched the thick wad of cash in his hand, wiped his eyes, and...
"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't stay in the pit forever."
Seven years!
More than two thousand days and nights were spent to earn this one thousand yuan.
He was saddened, but also relieved!
very nice!
He's home again!
Back to Grandpa, brothers and sisters.
Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Old Master Gu spoke solemnly again.
"Today, while our family is all here, I'd like to announce something."
Seeing the old man's serious expression, the four younger relatives all looked at him solemnly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Just tell us, we're listening."
Grandpa Gu turned his gaze to Su Nianxue and Gu Yanbai, "Yanbai, Nianxue, what I want to talk about today is the land."
I originally intended to give the land allocated to me by my brigade to Nianxue.
