Whether it is modern rural areas or ancient rural areas, they are essentially not as open as cities.

Especially in rural areas where the patriarchal system is relatively strong.

The public opinion pressure here is still quite large.

As an old man, Gu Yu'an was able to force himself to survive for more than half a year under such rumors, which was already quite good for him.

However, this time passed by, and after 7 months, Gu Yu'an, who hated his daughter-in-law, finally compromised.

After all, since Gu Yanzhang lost his wife, he has become more and more selfish. He has also become more and more lazy.

In the past, he was hardworking and down-to-earth. He took the initiative to do all the work inside and outside the house, and he did the lion's share.

But now, he would not do anything if he could avoid it. When he was working, he would make excuses and procrastinate, not caring about the lives of the whole family. It seemed that it was none of his business whether he worked more or less.

Thinking of those bad things, Gu Yu'an sighed suddenly. In the depressing environment, Gu Yu'an said to his son with a compromising look on his face.

"Brother Yan, that's enough. Don't put on such a bad face in front of me!"

"I'm also old. How many years do I have left to live? I don't want to continue to be angry with you. Today I tell you this. I still have to live this life. If you want to live, then live. If you don't want to live, I, as your father, will make the decision and divide our family in advance..."

Gu Yanzhang, who always felt that he was living a life without energy, didn't react at all when he heard his father say such words in a proud manner. He continued to eat the millet porridge in his bowl.

He has lived with this father for so many years, how could he not know his father's character? !

Gu Yanzhang could sometimes pat his chest to make such a promise. Every time he saw his father lift his butt, he knew what his father was going to say.

"Dad, you are the head of this family anyway, you can do whatever you want. If you want to split the family, then split it. I don't have any objection anyway."

The four brothers Gu Dazhu, who were sitting on the side, frowned tightly when they heard such words.

In the past six months or so, the situation at home has been getting worse and worse.

The wives of their brothers gave birth to a son last year. Now their wives are pregnant again. Seeing that the family has more and more people and the burden is getting heavier,...the uncle, who is not clear in his mind, proposed to divide the family at this time. Isn't this forcing them to death?!

If the brothers all divide the family, will they still be able to take advantage of the public in the future?

Thinking that his mother should have a considerable amount of savings, Gu Dazhu first put down the dishes in his hands that had been licked clean, and said to Gu Yanzhang righteously, "Dad, I don't agree with dividing the family."

"We are a big family, and we live well, why should we divide the family?"

"Besides, it's been so long, shouldn't we find a day to bring our mother back? After all, our mother is a member of our Gu family. It's really not right for her to live in someone else's house all year round!"

"I have heard many people say that our mother does not understand the ways of the world and the rules. As a son, I was very angry when I heard it, but after thinking about it, I feel that our mother is indeed wrong in this regard..."

Gu Yanzhang, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, raised his head abruptly when he heard this, and rolled his eyes at him in a bad mood, "Dazhu, since you think your mother is wrong, then you let me and your grandparents come forward to bring your mother back?"

"..." Gu Dazhu was silent when he heard this.

Bring back?

It's not like Gu Dazhu hasn't done it in the past six months or so? Every time he

went back to the Chen family, as soon as he saw the old lady Liu, his hands and feet would not obey his orders, and his mouth would not be smooth. He couldn't even say the words that he had prepared in his mind.

Every time he wanted to talk to his grandmother, he was stuttering and he didn't know what he was saying.

Thinking of those embarrassing scenes, Gu Dazhu couldn't help but murmur to Gu Yu'an.

"Grandpa, you are the elder, you are the head of our family with the highest seniority. I think it's better for you to come in person for this matter."

Gu Yu'an didn't say anything when he heard it.

He came in person?

How could he come in person?

If he really came in person, it would be like offering his face to others to be slapped.

Gu Yu'an always likes to regard his face as bigger than the sky.

Gu Yu'an thinks that losing money is better than losing face.

So, after taking a deep breath, Gu Yu'an said to his sons and grandchildren in a serious face, "How can an old man like me show up for such a trivial matter?"

"She, Chen, is just a woman. If she wants to go home, she can go home. If she wants to live in her parents' home, she can live in her parents' home. Is it necessary for me to come forward and invite her in person? How shameless does she think she is?"

Gu Yanzhang, who was sitting quietly on the side, turned very ugly when he heard this.

So, he couldn't help but uttered angrily, "Dad, don't say it, don't say it, I know what you are thinking."

"Anyway, I have long seen clearly whether the daughter-in-law really does not intend to live with me. After all, the days she spent in our house were really miserable. Which normal person would like to live such a life! If I were a woman, I would not want to live with you!"

"..."

Gu Yu'an was about to explode with anger when he heard this.

Seeing his son's lifeless look after he finished speaking. He didn't go out to work, and he didn't go out to make money. He just stayed in his room in a daze. After losing his wife, it seemed that there was no purpose in living.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu'an felt upset and irritable.

He really couldn't hold it back.

Feeling that he could no longer bear it, Gu Yu'an suddenly rushed forward and slapped Gu Yanzhang several times.

Gu Yanzhang was slapped, but he was like a normal person, without any reaction.

However, that night.

Gu Dazhu, who was awakened by the urge to pee, unexpectedly saw his father, the only biological father in his life, hanging himself in front of the house where his grandfather slept with a particularly thick hemp rope.

Seeing his father kicking the chair away with his feet, and his whole body swaying in the air, Gu Dazhu, whose bladder was about to explode, forgot about the urge to pee and his mind went blank.

Soon, he suddenly woke up, began to pull his pants tightly, and screamed heartbreakingly, "Dad, Dad! You can't abandon us!!"

Gu Dazhu rushed forward with tears streaming down his face, hugged his father's waist, and tried to get him down.
