Gu Sang was never a parent who controlled the children, nor was she a younger generation who spoiled the elderly.
“What’s there to manage? What’s there to manage? Don’t you know what it means to teach by example? I’m with my grandma every day, and I’ve learned about 70 or 80 percent of her skills. So I don’t need my mother to manage me. My achievements today have nothing to do with my mother. It’s all thanks to my grandma’s good teaching.”
Well taught...
What should be taught well?
Isn't it just his ability to curse?
In short, Gu Dekang was rendered speechless, and even looked resentful, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction as he gazed at Gu Sang.
"Da Ya, how dare you interrupt your elders!"
"It's probably due to family education. Our harmonious family is such a good environment that even my own niece was sold and buried alive. Of course, I have to surpass my parents."
Gu Sang's words were so succinct that they left people speechless.
Li gently tugged at Gu Sang.
While Sangsang's words were comforting, she was, after all, an elder. It wouldn't be good if something really happened...
Gu Sang gently patted the back of Li's hand.
She had already said that since she had taken over the original body, Gu Sang would not allow the third branch of the family to be suppressed by anyone again, no matter what.
Gu Sang knew very well what the purpose of the Gu family calling her and her daughter back was.
Just wait and see.
Gu Dekang took a deep breath.
He realized that he probably couldn't control the eldest daughter of the third wife.
But as an elder, surely he can grasp this point?
"Alright, stop with your sarcastic remarks. Third son's wife, your mother fell and hurt herself, and it was because of Daya. Starting tomorrow, you'll come back to take care of your mother and look after the house. Also, with your mother's illness, the family needs money for medicine and treatment. The family's money has already been used to fill the gaps in your third branch's finances, so you need to take out twenty taels of silver for your mother's treatment. Do you understand?"
That makes perfect sense.
Moreover, since it was said by an elder, it generally gives people a sense of composure and reliability.
Both the eldest and second wives nodded in agreement, believing that such a distribution was very fair.
But upon hearing these words, Li's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with terror.
"Father! We just separated from our family, and we don't have a single penny on us..."
"How can you say you don't have money? I noticed that it's only been two days since you separated from your family, and Da Ya has already changed her clothes. When I came to see you just now, weren't all four of your children wearing new clothes? Third sister-in-law, I feel that this is your fault. You used to hide your poverty and look miserable to make everyone feel sorry for you. But now that you've separated from your family, you're all smug and starting to buy new clothes for your children. Poor Mom, she doesn't even have any clothes for this season."
At this moment, Yang rolled her eyes and pretended to be heartbroken as she recounted the matter.
But those eyes held a deep sense of calculation.
"I...I didn't. The money for the clothes was...it was Sangsang..."
Li was about to explain, but Gu Sang stopped her the next moment. Gu Sang raised her head and looked at Yang.
"Auntie, are you so envious? When our third branch was separated from the family, we didn't take a single grain of rice with us. Besides, how we live after we're separated is our business, what does it have to do with you? Are you jealous because you see us wearing new clothes? But jealousy is a disease, it needs to be cured, you know?"
Gu Sang's combat power is absolutely off the charts.
It's completely impossible for them to attach themselves to them and suck their blood, and Gu Sang will not allow such a thing to happen.
Another point is that the third wife's family had already separated long ago, and they were the ones who made the ruthless decision to leave with nothing. Why should they leech off the third wife's family now that they are doing a little better?
"How can you talk like that, child? Third sister-in-law, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
“My mother also thinks I’m right.”
"Shut up!"
While Gu Sang and Yang were bickering, Gu Dekang scolded them, then ignored Gu Sang and looked at Li, saying, "It's settled then. You take out twenty taels, and come early tomorrow morning. That's it. Go back now."
Is it really a done deal?
Li was bitter inside, while Yang and Xie, her sisters-in-law, exchanged glances, both seeing smugness in each other's eyes.
"etc."
Others might be able to accept it, but Gu Sang is not someone to be trifled with. How could she let them scheme against her like this?
"The third family has neither money nor time, so do whatever you want."
Why should the old man's words force the third wife to endure such a miserable life again?
Gu Sang would never agree to that.
No one expected Gu Sang to object. Gu Dekang had been in charge of the household his whole life, and the only times he had been humiliated were by Gu Sang, this seemingly insignificant daughter. Gu Dekang's face immediately darkened.
Bang!
He slammed his hand on the table and then shouted, "How dare you disobey me! Let me tell you, Da Ya, I'm not dead yet, I'm your grandpa, and you have to listen to me!"
Is this a case of using one's seniority to pressure someone when one can't win an argument?
Is Gu Sang a coward?
Li Shi had already cowered like a quail, but Gu Sang was not afraid at all.
A smile played on her lips, and her gaze toward Gu Dekang held a mocking expression.
"Listen to you? And then let you treat our third branch like this? You really dare to think you can get twenty taels of silver. When our third branch was separated, what did you give us? Don't you know in your heart? We fought for a few tattered clothes, and we didn't take a single grain of rice with us. We cleaned up the dilapidated thatched hut ourselves. And then there's serving you. Even if you really gave us silver, we still have to serve you? I'm afraid it's not just serving my grandmother, but your whole family, right?"
Gu Sang raised her hand and nodded.
"So you expect my mother to serve this whole family? How dare you?"
"You brat! You really dare to be so insolent! I'll kick your dad today to teach you a lesson! You deserve a beating!"
Gu Yingfu had already had enough and could no longer hold back. He rushed forward and raised his hand to hit Gu Sang.
"don't want!"
Li hurriedly tried to protect her, but Gu Sang turned around and shielded Li behind her, looking coldly at Gu Yingfu who was rushing forward.
"If you dare to touch me, I'll say it again: unless you kill me outright, even if I'm on my last breath, I'll crawl to the government office, crawl to the standing guard, and report you for selling your own niece to form a ghost family and burying people alive! At that time, let's see who among you can still be arrogant, let's see who dares to touch our third branch again!"
The resounding words echoed throughout the entire Gu family, causing Gu Yingfu to freeze in mid-air as he raised his arm!
