"Good! That little bastard actually ran off to town! I knew I couldn't catch him!"
Madam Zhang gritted her teeth in anger. You see, she had been going to the thatched hut from time to time, thinking that if she caught anyone from the third branch of the family, she would definitely teach them a lesson!
Despite my numerous attempts to catch them, I've never managed to do so. Now, hearing that they've gone to town, it all makes perfect sense.
"Old man, we can't let them get away with this! You know, they're living a good life now, all thanks to our money. If that's the case, then all the money they've earned should go to us, right?"
The way this was said made one feel that something was amiss, but upon closer examination, it seemed that nothing was actually wrong.
This makes one... not know what to say for a moment.
Gu Yingfu was even more resentful. At this moment, he stared at Gu Dekang expectantly, waiting for the old man to say something.
"Father, we can't just let them bully us like this, can we? Look at what those third branches of the family are doing! Is this even human? Most importantly, all their good life right now comes from our money!"
It's pointless to say anything else. In their eyes, the reason the third branch of the family is living such a good life is because of them. They threatened them with money, which led them to go to town. With money, they made such a good life and made a lot of money. If that's the case, then shouldn't they be given some money?
Otherwise, wouldn't that be unreasonable?
Oh, not just some; in their eyes, they believe that all the silver should be given to them!
Otherwise, we would be letting them down!
Thinking about all this, everyone's eyes welled up with tears.
Especially Zhao, at this moment she really wanted to kill someone!
"Master! You saw it too, didn't you? This isn't our problem. It's those third branches of the family who are being incredibly shameless. They took our money to make a fortune and didn't give us a single penny. Isn't that a bit unreasonable? Master, can you tolerate this?"
Anyway, Zhang couldn't take it anymore; she felt like she was about to die of anger.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dekang couldn't help but sense that something was amiss.
But if you ask him what exactly is wrong with it, Gu Dekang can't quite put his finger on it.
This feeling is really irritating, and more importantly, it's a sense of not being able to control one's emotions, which is the most annoying thing.
Thinking of these things, Gu Dekang couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
"Alright, stop arguing and let me think of something."
At this moment, Gu Dekang's mind was somewhat dazed from their commotion, and given the current situation, he really didn't want to have anything to do with that little girl, Gu Sang, because he always felt that she was too strange.
But no matter what, things have already come to this, and it seems that the eldest son is specifically looking to cause trouble for the third branch of the family. Given this, Gu Dekang couldn't say anything else.
Seeing that his father was still thinking, Gu Yingfu took a deep breath and said, "No, Dad, I just don't understand. What is there for us to think about? Are we supposed to just sit here and wait? It's so obvious that we've been set up. What if the third branch finds out and starts to take precautions against us? If you ask me, we should go now!"
"Yes, if the third branch of the family doesn't give us the money, we'll make sure their restaurant goes out of business!"
So, people often only care about themselves.
Yang was quite calm about what she was thinking; she was determined to cause trouble, and nothing anyone else could say mattered.
Gu Dekang glanced at his family members, and after a long while, he shook his head.
"I really don't understand you guys. Why are you all thinking so much about this? This is the third branch of the family's own business..."
"But they took our money! And the third branch is also from the Gu family! Does that mean they'll just abandon us after making money? Does that mean they won't give us any tribute after making money? Dream on!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang glared fiercely, her whole demeanor filled with rage!
Gu Yingfu nodded vigorously at this moment.
“That’s right, Father. We can’t just pretend we don’t know anything, can we? You’ve seen how outrageous the third branch of the family has been. Are we just going to let them do this?”
"Such a huge bargain, frankly speaking, it's because they bullied us, right?"
In Yang's view, this was all the fault of the third wife.
Why should the third wife's family live a good life? In everyone's eyes, the third wife's family doesn't deserve it at all!
People like the third wife deserve to be begging!
Upon hearing this, Gu Dekang was actually starting to be swayed by their words.
He looked at Gu Yingfu.
"You want to go?"
"Of course! They took so much silver from us, are we not allowed to get it back? Father, this is not a good thing!"
"that is."
Yang was also afraid that her father-in-law would disagree, so she secretly tried to persuade him.
How others handle this matter is none of their business. In the eyes of the eldest son's family, all the money earned by the third son's family belongs to them!
Since it belongs to them, there's nothing wrong with them asking for it back, right?
Upon hearing this, Gu Dekang was momentarily at a loss for words. More importantly, Gu Dekang himself was somewhat resentful, and now, hearing these words, he was naturally tempted.
"In that case... alright then, let's go together!"
There's a saying that goes something like this...
Wealth is a powerful motivator, and this truth is inescapable no matter where you are.
Most importantly, the Gu family didn't take the third branch of the family seriously at all. So no matter what happened or what situation arose, it was only natural to them that the third branch was unworthy.
Now they're just going to do something they think is good for themselves, and as for the fate of the third wife, sorry, that's not even on their radar.
That's just how people are. No matter what happens, the first thing they always think of is themselves. This is especially true for a selfish family like the Gu family!
Now that Gu Dekang had spoken, everyone was immediately happy. They exchanged glances and then all went back to their rooms to change clothes and get ready.
Upon hearing this, Xie, from the second wife's family, raised an eyebrow.
