Seeing his wife so scared that she burst into tears and cried so hard, Gu Yanzhang felt very uncomfortable.
"Wife, please don't go back to your parents' home, okay?... If you leave, how will I live in the future?"
Gu Yanzhang knew his mother-in-law very well. He always knew that his mother-in-law was a very strong person who loved her daughter and would never suffer any loss.
He had heard before that his wife's eldest sister was bullied by her husband's family every day after she married to Huangtuling. Several babies in her belly were aborted by her ex-husband, and later, all her dowry was robbed.
In order to get a good deal from the old lady, some villagers in Huangtu Ridge secretly ran to Chenjia Village and told her all these bad things. Everyone mistakenly thought that the old lady Liu might be embarrassed and might find ways to get money to mediate for her eldest daughter and son-in-law. Especially after saying some good words to her husband's family, let the two of them continue to live.
However, the old lady Liu's subsequent behavior stunned the people in the eight villages.
Divorce!
Must divorce!
The old lady Liu took her eldest son and the youngest son and went to the county government in person to find Huang the captain. Huang the captain sent more than 10 yamen runners with knives and asked them to follow the old lady Liu and run to Huangtu Ridge to rescue his eldest daughter.
Later, Old Lady Liu asked the Huang family to return all the dowry they had taken.
People in this area bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that Old Lady Liu was so difficult to deal with, they said that she was a shrew and strong, but in their hearts, they still admired her.
When he thought that Old Lady Liu had always been like this and would never think of mediating conflicts, Gu Yanzhang was very anxious.
He suddenly realized that in this family, his father had become a roadblock that made his life difficult.
Gu Yanzhang knew that his family had been able to make so much money in the past year or so, wasn't it all because of his wife's family? !
If his wife's family hadn't had connections and had made many contacts with those people in the government, how could their family have been able to buy the half of the swampland in the upper reaches of Xiaoyue River with just a little money? !
With only such a wife in his family, his family could make a lot of money every year just by growing glutinous rice, rapeseed, soybeans and other things on that piece of land. His family could eat well every day, wear clean clothes, and even wear leather boots.
The thought that if he really broke up with his wife and his mother-in-law didn't want her to live with him anymore, then the piece of land he had eaten would have to be returned.
Without that piece of land, how could his family afford to raise pigs?
At that time, in order to buy more food outside and fill the stomachs of the family, his father would definitely find ways to sell all the pigs.
Without fields, land, and pigs, his family would definitely be like those people in the village, with no food for the next meal, and no food for the next meal.
Their whole family would live the same life as before. In winter, they would hide at home every day, endure hunger, and eat grass root porridge every day to slowly get through the days.
When the spring came and there was a shortage of food, he would wait for death at home every day.
Thinking about how stupid the things his father had done were, Gu Yanzhang's dissatisfaction had reached its peak at this moment.
He felt that for what happened today, someone in his clan might have secretly gone to old lady Liu to complain to her in order to do more favors. ... Gu Yanzhang thought about it and decided to take a risky move.
He was actually a smart man. He
was very good at judging the situation.
He changed his mind and thought, "Instead of letting others tell my mother-in-law about what happened today, it would be better for me to tell her myself..."
When he went to tell her, he would definitely have a correct attitude. He would be as humble as possible.
After all, the shit his father did was really not right!
Now he could only apologize and give gifts to his mother-in-law, his wife, and his brother-in-law.
Thinking about how much face he would lose later, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but feel upset.
While feeling upset, he couldn't help but think, "When will dad control his bad temper?"
Every time his father was instigated by others outside, or heard a few unpleasant words from others, he would vent all his anger on his family as soon as he got home.
Gu Yanzhang didn't understand, why couldn't an honest man like his father do something useful?
...
Chen Xuanxuan, who was carrying a basket and preparing to go back to her parents' home, was still struggling angrily at this time.
She thought that the man who was holding her really wanted to control her in this house, let her continue to live with him, let her compromise, and let her pretend that nothing happened.
However, she didn't know what her cheap husband was thinking in his heart. He suddenly let go of her hand.
Moreover, he said sincerely, "Wife, since you want to go back to your parents' home, I will accompany you now!"
"I will go back with you, and you can stay at your parents' home as long as you want. Anyway, I want to stay with you."
"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for the grievances you suffered today..."
Gu Yanzhang said these words with a solemn oath, and began to clean up some clean clothes for himself.
In addition, he also took some money and some gifts to give away.
Like eggs, grains, buns, glutinous rice, he took a lot.
In less than two minutes, he had finished all his affairs.
Noticing that his wife was staring at him in amazement, with an expression of disbelief on her face, Gu Yanzhang took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold her.
"Wife, let's go!"
"While it's not too dark, let's go back to my parents' home..."
Hearing him say this, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and nodded.
So, she followed him and stepped out of the door step by step.
When the group of villagers standing at the door saw the posture of the two of them, they immediately raised their throats and asked loudly.
"Brother Yan, what are you doing? You are so old, why are you running away from home?"
"Yes, yes, your father just scolded you and hit you a few times, why are you arguing with your own father?" "
