Chapter 32 Quarrel

"Mom, you also know that this is nonsense. How can Yinyin's few words with others outside be considered as flirting?" Gu Cheng added.

"Mom! I can't live like this anymore!" said Mrs. Gu angrily. "I meant well, but now I'm considered to be seducing someone. Mom, why don't you just give me a rope to hang myself on."

After being scolded by her brother-in-law, Sister-in-law Gu started crying as soon as she was slapped.

She does this whenever something goes wrong at Gu's house, and her parents-in-law always fall for her tricks, which always work.

Anyway, everyone knows who is more important, a real daughter-in-law whom she married for three hundred yuan and Liu Yinyin, a daughter-in-law who was married for eighty yuan.

Gu Cheng said coldly: "Can you please talk nicely? If not, I'm leaving."

He's either crying or making a fuss. It's so depressing to stay in this home.

To be honest, Gu Cheng left home to join the army when he was fifteen. He is twenty-seven years old this year and has only returned five or six times during that time. As for Gu's family...it is actually more of responsibility than affection.

Mrs. Gu choked and said nothing more. She just winked at the man next to her. Her own wife was being pointed at and scolded, so why didn't he say anything?

It’s a pity that Brother Gu didn’t dare to say a word. No one in the family is easy to mess with, so what can he say?

Seeing this, Gu Cheng asked him, "Brother, I heard that you carried water for Yin Yin?"

Brother Gu was startled and quickly explained, "I just helped her because I saw she couldn't lift a bucket of water. I didn't mean anything else. Ah Cheng, please don't misunderstand me."

He really just helped out, but he didn't expect that his own wife saw it and almost blew the roof off the house.

This woman is not someone you can easily mess with, and Brother Gu is still worried.

Gu Cheng said, "According to what you said, I really don't understand why my wife is having an affair?"

"You know nothing!" Gu's mother slapped her thigh and said, "A fly won't bite an egg without any seams. If she was a good person, would everyone say this about her?"

There were more than one or two people in the village who said that Liu Yinyin was restless and had brought shame to the Gu family. In any case, there was no way that Gu's mother would accept Liu Yinyin as her daughter-in-law.

No matter how he tried to persuade her, Gu Cheng gave up completely: "Mom, if you keep going like this, I can only live outside with Yinyin."

"What's so good about that woman? Are you giving up your parents for her?" Gu's mother pointed at him and cursed.

"I will come back to see you often," said Gu Cheng.

"You ungrateful bastard, if you want to leave, don't come back." The more Gu Cheng defended Liu Yinyin, the angrier Gu's mother became.

"Enough, stop talking!" The noisy scene gave Father Gu a headache, and he couldn't help but yell at them.

Mother Gu snorted and turned her face away angrily.

Father Gu sighed and said to Gu Cheng, "It's inevitable for a family to have some conflicts. Now that you're back, take Yinyin home. We're all family. If we live separately, we'll just make a fool of ourselves."

"No, I don't agree." Gu's mother disagreed. If Liu Yinyin came back, where would she put her old face in the future?

Gu Cheng also said, "Dad, forget it. It's not convenient for Yinyin to move around with her big belly."

Liu Yinyin was pregnant, so he really didn't dare to leave her at Gu's house.

Father Gu said with a headache: "Then let's wait until Yinyin gives birth to the baby."

Mrs. Gu opened her mouth and said, "Gu Cheng, isn't it a bit bad for you to just abandon your parents like this?"

It is definitely not possible for Gu Cheng to move out like this. You can't just leave Gu's parents to be taken care of by the couple, right?

Although Gu’s father and Gu’s mother can still work and help them now, what about the future?

What should the elderly couple do if they can’t work anymore or have a headache or fever?

Gu Cheng paused and said, "I give my parents ten yuan every month, and I also give them gifts during festivals."

Mrs. Gu was silent. She could still accept ten yuan a month.

But Gu's mother used to get 20 yuan a month, but now she only gets 10 yuan a month.

She thought her son was deceived by Liu Yinyin and deliberately gave her less money, so she curled her lips and said, "Ten yuan is too little. Give him at least twenty yuan a month."

Gu Cheng: "Mom, I'm going to be a father too, and I have to support my own family in the future."

Mr. Gu opened his eyes as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Others would be even less likely to ask for anything. Mrs. Gu was hoping that Gu Cheng would give her more. The more he gave, the more Gu's mother would give to the first wife.

Mother Gu thought that her youngest son was no longer in the army and would not receive a monthly allowance, so she said, "Ten yuan a month is fine for now, but when we are old and can no longer work, we will have to pay more."

In the countryside, you don’t have to spend money to buy food or vegetables, and you don’t need much money on a daily basis. Ten yuan is more than enough.

In fact, she saved most of the money that Gu Cheng used to send home every month.

Gu Cheng nodded and agreed: "Okay, if you two can't work anymore, I will still give you 20 yuan a month."

He will not be living at home anymore and cannot take care of his parents, so he has to pay and let his eldest brother and his wife and their family do the work.

Gu's mother was quite satisfied with the result, as she finally stopped suffering.

When Gu Cheng left, he left ten yuan for Gu's mother as he had promised.

Father Gu looked at her happy face and sighed, "Don't always criticize Yinyin in front of your son in the future. Be careful that your son will lose interest in you."

Mother Gu said indifferently, "Does it mean that since I gave birth to him and raised him, I have to obey him in everything?"

Gu's mother knew her son well. He was a simple-minded man. Perhaps because of his military service, he had a strong sense of responsibility. No matter what, he would not ignore his biological parents.

"Ah." Father Gu nodded at him and said, "You don't know, he has a job in the county town. From now on, he will be a real city dweller, the kind who can eat commercial food."

He had just asked about Gu Cheng's discharge from the army, and only then did he learn that Gu Cheng had been assigned a job after returning, and that he was the deputy director of a steel plant.

Three generations of the Gu family have been poor farmers, and Gu Cheng is the most promising one. This is a great event that will bring honor to the family!

What a pity... The old woman was confused and pushed her son away. Otherwise, the family could have held a banquet to celebrate.

"What?" Gu's mother was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. "Work? Didn't he retire from the army?"

She didn't know that Gu Cheng had a job. She thought that after he retired from the army, he would have to rely on working in the fields to make a living like his eldest son.

Not to mention her, even Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu only found out about this at this moment, and they were all dumbfounded.

Especially Mrs. Gu.

Does Gu Cheng have a job in the county?

Oh my god, if she had known this would happen, why would she have quarreled with her brother-in-law just now!

Mrs. Gu regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
