Lian...felt very miserable.
But she couldn't tell anyone else and could only endure it. She thought, her father-in-law is over sixty years old now, maybe in another ten or twenty years, he will be gone?
Xiao Cunyu could probably guess where the problem lay.
As a mother, her biggest weakness is her children. The eldest son of the Guo family is a boy after all, so he may be able to live well, but the young lady of the Guo family is different. Judging from her reaction when she heard about the meat pie yesterday, she must have experienced this before.
Xiao Cunyu didn't say much to Lian and planned to start with the brother and sister.
She left happily, and Lian was relieved.
At noon, Xiao Cunyu went to a small restaurant outside with the brother and sister. The brother and sister were not in a good mood and seemed a little worried.
Xiao Cunyu didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "You two know what meat pie means, right?"
Sure enough, when she said this, both of them turned pale.
Mr. Guo clenched his fists, and the young lady of the Guo family trembled slightly.
"I saw your mother cutting a piece of meat this morning, and the meat pie was eaten by your grandfather. Your grandfather must be a beast who even dares to use human flesh. How long has this situation lasted?" Xiao Cunyu asked again.
Mr. Guo opened his mouth and said after a moment, "Grandfather said that if the younger generation is pure and filial, they should provide for the elderly with their flesh and blood..."
"Do you believe this?" Xiao Cunyu sneered.
"No." Mr. Guo immediately shook his head with red eyes. "You don't know how hard my mother has been... My grandfather passed away a long time ago, and my grandmother is not in good health. She is an only child, so if she wants to support her grandmother, she has to be obedient. When my mother first got married, my grandfather beat her a few times. My grandmother found out and there was a big fight, but she thought it was my father who beat her. Later, my father made a lot of promises, and because... I was born, the matter was over..."
"My father and grandfather did not beat my mother anymore, but she didn't have an easy time over the years."
"In the summer, my mother would sit by my grandfather's bedside fanning him all night long. In the winter, she would stay up all night to watch over him. I didn't know about this at first, but one time I had a nightmare and went to look for my mother, and I discovered it by chance... I was very angry at the time, but my father and the others said that this was my mother's filial piety..."
"I don't dare to make a fuss, cousin. It's only natural for younger generations to be filial to their elders. At least in the eyes of outsiders, this is what my mother should do. If I make a fuss, it will only make her life more difficult. Besides, my father and grandfather care a lot about their reputations, and others will only believe what they say..."
"My mother told me to be patient, saying that I would be fine once I became successful. But when I was ten years old, my grandfather fell ill. I don't know who he heard the recipe for human flesh from, but he forced my mother to dig out a piece of meat. But after that, my grandfather recovered..."
"Over the years, whenever Grandpa was in a bad mood, or whenever my sister and I did something wrong, he would eat meat patties. He would do this once a month, or once every six months..."
“…”
Once, my grandfather just had a cough, and he was not satisfied with eating my mother’s meat, so he forced my sister to dig out a piece as well!
Just that one piece, but since then, the mother never dared to resist again, and even made them behave themselves.
"Uncle, I'm telling you the truth. Please don't anger them. They're never reasonable. My sister is grown up now. Grandfather can't bear to part with my flesh, but he wants people who are related by blood to be filial to him... If he gets angry, it might hurt my sister..."
“Please…”
