As soon as Ma Daya finished speaking, Gu Erzhu felt as if his head was hit by a stick.
These words really hit the nail on the head.
He just thought of letting his wife stay away from his mother. In this way, she will not learn the same thing. However
, if she stays away from his mother, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, he always feels that his elder brother and his wife are not simple-minded.
He has been thinking about it for the past few days, and he has already had a guess in his mind.
He feels that the reason why his elder brother has been pretending to be filial in front of his parents these days is that he actually has a plan.
As the eldest brother in the family,
he wants to get more property when they divide the family!
The eldest brother just wants his parents to give him everything they earn, including their private money,
in the future... After all, he is so filial, he will definitely take good care of them in their old age.
Thinking that his eldest brother is only in his teens this year, and after getting married, he will start thinking about the next few decades. After Gu Erzhu scolded him a few words in secret, his eyes began to roll.
After thinking about it, he decided to take a step back and see the situation.
"Daya, what you said does make sense."
"As children, we should be closer to our parents. Otherwise, they will definitely think we are unfilial."
People are all selfish.
As parents, they certainly would not think of spending more effort, time, or benefits on those children who are ungrateful and disobedient to themselves. ...
The children are already ungrateful, and no matter how much you give them, it will all be in vain.
Gu Erzhu sat on the donkey cart, swaying and thinking that he would have to learn from his elder brother in the future.
While he was stunned, the couple had already arrived at the suburbs that were very close to the county town, which was the gate of the Ma family.
After arriving at the gate, Gu Erzhu quickly discovered that the doors of the Ma family were all locked.
Gu Erzhu took his wife and asked around in the village. Only then did he learn that the entire Ma family had gone to the pier in the town yesterday morning.
Seven ships arrived in Tongzhen last night.
Some of the boats belonged to the Jiang family.
I heard that some of the neighboring cities had suffered from floods recently. The heavy rain smashed some houses in the cities into pieces.
There was no other way. Those who had some money in the family bought a batch of Jiang family bricks from Tongzhen while the weather was fine.
Jiang family's business was good and there were many people who wanted to buy them. People from many places in the Ma family area ran there last night.
Knowing that the Ma family members had gone to work part-time, Gu Erzhu felt an indescribable dissatisfaction in his heart. When
the Jiang family saw his eldest brother, they all stood at the gate and greeted him. They all smiled with wrinkles.
But he didn't even see a single person. Thinking that no one was left in this house, Gu Erzhu was convinced that the Ma family didn't take him seriously as a son-in-law.
So, after Gu Erzhu was sulking for a while, he took his wife home angrily.
He didn't even bother to care about his elder brother and sister-in-law.
He thought, isn't his elder brother very popular? !
Then, he will ask his wife's brothers to send him to this house? !
In fact, no one knows the secret thoughts deep in Gu Erzhu's heart.
Everyone in the Gu family just thought that he was angry about the affairs of his wife's family.
Chen Xuanxuan comforted him, which was rare. "Erzhu, logically speaking, this is not a big deal!"
"Scholars always say that one can only know honor and disgrace when the granaries are full. The Ma family can't even afford to eat enough. If they encounter a chance to make more money, they will definitely grab it. After all, once the opportunity is missed, their whole family will earn a lot less money."
"As for what you thought, this is a generous return gift for them... Those who don't want to take advantage will definitely give them generous things as a return gift. I guess the Ma family thinks this set of interpersonal relationships is troublesome and meaningless. So, they don't want to bother..."
Hearing this, Gu Erzhu felt even more uncomfortable.
When his family was poor, he didn't care about anything.
After all, it was good enough to have some food.
But since his family became rich, he cared more and more about his face.
Every time he went out, no matter if they were from the village or outside the village, anyone who knew him would greet him with a smile and a warm face.
Those people were all very friendly.
When they called his name, their voices were especially loud.
Every time he stuffed a bun or half a bun into some poor people in the village, or some old people and children who had been hungry for several days, those people wanted to kneel down in front of him.
They said all the good things in their mouths.
Thinking of this, Gu Erzhu said in annoyance, "Mom, please stop talking, okay? I know everything!"
"I don't take this seriously..."
After Gu Erzhu had dinner with his family, he asked his wife to wash his feet.
Before he got married, his grandfather had warned him that women should not be spoiled. Once spoiled, they would have the same ugly character as his mother.
Therefore, women can only be beaten, scolded, and taught harshly. Otherwise, they would run over his head and pee and poop in front of him.
Thinking of his grandfather's teachings, Gu Erzhu waited until Ma Daya washed his feet, and then he slapped her. "What are you waiting for? Why don't you pour out the water for washing feet?!"
Seeing that Ma Daya was beaten and cried by his wife, Gu Erzhu immediately became happy.
He thought that after a while, his wife would definitely obey him.
While Ma Daya was pouring water for Gu Erzhu to wash feet, Gu Dazhu, who had been scolded for a long time by Jiang Huigu's grandfather, was very upset.
It was already dark outside.
It was really unsafe for him to be alone with his wife at night. Any two or three strong men could rob and kill the young couple.
Gu Dazhu could think of this, and the shrewd and sophisticated men of the Jiang family could also think of it.
Knowing that they still needed this marriage, the people of the Jiang family took the initiative to say, "Dazhu, it's getting late, and the donkey cart driven by your second brother must have been delayed on the road. Why don't you stay at our house for one night. You can go back after breakfast tomorrow morning. How about it?"
Gu Dazhu heard it and agreed happily. "Thank you, old man!"
The Jiang family is short of housing.
Many boys still sleep in the big bunk bed. Even for those who are married, most of them are squeezed into the same compartment.
Life was already very inconvenient. Now they had to squeeze in an outsider like Gu Dazhu. Some young boys couldn't help but complain.
