You know, the third branch of the family worked day and night in the old house, exploited like old oxen, but now when you mention the third branch, nobody seems to remember them much.
character?
Who can remember?
Gu Dekang looked down on the third branch of the family the most. Without the support of the head of the family, who could remember what kind of people the third branch of the family had?
"They're probably... quite obedient?"
All I can say is that they were obedient. If they weren't obedient, they wouldn't have been so easily tricked into being buried alive.
Gu Yinggui nodded.
"Yes, Da Ya used to be very obedient, doing whatever she was told without ever uttering a word of complaint. But now? Doesn't Father feel that Da Ya has changed drastically?"
It's not that it's huge, but rather that it has undergone earth-shattering changes.
What exactly happened to the three families?
If it weren't for Gu Yinggui from the second wife saying this, perhaps no one would have thought of this. After hearing Gu Yinggui's words, Gu Dekang and Gu Yingfu exchanged glances.
That's really true...
That girl looks different from before. No one paid attention to those things before, but now that we think about it, things are quite different.
What exactly happened?
"Could this be... some kind of ghost or monster?"
Thinking of all this, Gu Yingfu immediately rubbed his groin vigorously.
It was just a wild guess, yet they were terrified.
Gu Yinggui rolled his eyes at his eldest son. Then he said to Gu Dekang, "Father, this matter is still hard for us to say, but it's a certainty that Da Ya is acting strangely. What do you think... should we start from this angle and find something to use against Da Ya? That way... wouldn't the third branch of the family still be at our disposal? I heard from the children's mother yesterday that Da Ya took her whole family to town and came back with new clothes for everyone. Don't you know what's going on with the third branch of the family, Father? But where did this money come from?"
This is the most surprising situation, isn't it?
In the past, no one would have said anything, but now that things have escalated to this point, we need to think about this carefully, no matter what.
Gu Dekang was already angry about this matter and couldn't think of a solution for the time being. But after Gu Yinggui's words, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
I have to say... this is truly astonishing!
Gu Dekang closed his eyes slightly and took two more deep drags of opium.
After a long while, he finally looked at the second son amidst the swirling smoke.
"So tell me, what's going on here? Or... what should we do about this?"
Before, I really hadn't thought about these things, and frankly, I didn't take this matter seriously. But now that things have escalated to this point, what exactly is going on?
Whatever happened, we need to think about what really happened, don't we?
Gu Yinggui didn't really know either; his mind was in a complete mess. But the only thing he wanted to prove was to tell everyone that the second branch of the family wouldn't contribute a single penny of the silver that Daya had mentioned.
"Father, let's put this matter aside for now. What I want to tell you is that the money from selling Daya didn't go to our second branch of the family. So no matter what trouble Daya causes in the future, it has nothing to do with our second branch. You know we're not doing well, so..."
"What do you mean by 'not the second brother'?!"
Gu Yingfu had been listening quietly, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something had gone wrong. He frowned and looked at Gu Yinggui with a cold gaze.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with your second wife's family? How dare you say this has nothing to do with your second wife's family? Back then, your second wife's family certainly didn't skimp on the food and drink, did they? Now you're saying something like this, don't you feel guilty at all!"
The first wife was almost driven mad with anger!
Tell me, there's no such thing as this, is there?
No matter what happened, good or bad, no one talks about it. But when the money was brought back, the eldest son's family bought a lot of good things, and a lot of them ended up in the second son's family's mouth. Now the second son's family can say such things. Do they have a guilty conscience or not?
Gu Yingfu grew angrier the more he thought about it.
When Gu Dekang heard what the second wife said, he frowned and then looked at Gu Yinggui.
"Second brother, we haven't even separated yet. Aren't you saying something a little hurtful?"
This shouldn't be the way it is, should it?
No matter what happened or what kind of trouble it caused, this is still too much, isn't it?
Besides, no matter what happened, or what trouble might arise in the future, the family is facing difficulties now. Can they just give up the goods at the drop of a hat?
The second child's behavior... is indeed wrong.
But Gu Yingfu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing, so what was wrong with what he said?
Besides, this mess was originally caused by the eldest son's wife, so why should the second son's wife also bear the responsibility?
There's probably nowhere to seek justice for something like this, no matter where you go.
"Father, what have I done that would hurt anyone? Did I say something wrong? You surely know the truth of this matter, Father. We don't know anything about Daya, so what we need to do now is figure things out. Otherwise… it's not impossible that she could be wiped out by the entire Gu family in one fell swoop."
"Ha, just a brat. I can't be bothered with her. I don't believe she can cause any trouble!"
Gu Yingfu was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
What do you mean by "that girl turned the Gu family upside down"?
Gu Yingfu thought he was just too kind-hearted and too lazy to bother with them. If they really angered him, Gu Yingfu wouldn't care about etiquette and morality at all, and would just deal with them directly to see who would dare to say anything more!
They're all spoiled. Once they're dealt with properly, let's see if they dare to say anything more!
When Gu Yinggui saw Gu Yingfu's appearance, he could only give a cold smile.
This boss is really something, he's really capable, I just wonder how long he'll keep up with his abilities.
