Chapter Thirty-Six: Gu Yingfu's Resentment



But Gu Sang shook her head.

"There's no 'what if' because I know my Aquarius identity very well. I believe that once my sauerkraut fish is on the market, it will definitely cause a sensation. Just you wait and see."

After speaking, Gu Sang blinked and then chuckled.

Moreover, today was indeed a bit rushed, and there were only five large vats in the shop, otherwise Gu Sang would have bought more.

It doesn't matter, I've already discussed it with the shopkeeper and will place another order in a couple of days.

After bringing them all back, Gu Sang rested for a while, then began to tidy up the cabbages and put them into jars.

Li was busy helping out, but when she saw Gu Sang sprinkling salt on the cabbage, she couldn't help but ask, "Sang Sang, why are you sprinkling salt?"

"Because salt can prevent the sauerkraut from rotting. Otherwise, if it's just water, it would rot before the cabbage has fermented properly."

After hearing this, Li nodded, indicating that she understood.

After all five vats of cabbage were filled, Gu Sang was exhausted.

Li Rong filled the cabbage jar completely with water and weighed it down with a bluestone before turning to look at Gu Sang.

Although she was only ten years old, she possessed a maturity beyond her years. Whether in her actions or in her character, Gu Sang displayed a composure beyond her years, which Li Rong greatly admired.

He was also said to be precocious, but compared to Gu Sang, Li Rong found that he was still much more naive.

But it doesn't matter. You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to gain experience little by little.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the Gu family is starting to feel the strain.

Gu Yingfu, in particular, always had nothing to do all day, so he would always try to figure out where the third branch of the family had gone.

You said that and you were perfectly fine, how can a person just suddenly die?

Most importantly, the person is gone, but there is still no definite answer as to where they went.

Every time Gu Yingfu thought about all of this, he felt like he was going crazy!

When Gu Dekang saw Gu Yingfu's appearance, he couldn't help but frown.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

She kept hovering around him every day, making Gu Dekang's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Gu Yingfu was also waiting for her father to speak, and at this moment she looked at Gu Dekang with a wronged expression.

"Father, I just don't understand. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Where did the third branch of the family go? Even if they hid, they wouldn't have hidden for so many days, would they? How have they been cowardly these past few days? Have they stopped living?"

This is truly astonishing and shocking.

Before Gu Dekang could speak, Xie, from the second wife's family, burst out laughing.

Gu Yingfu still remembered how the second wife had challenged him before, and his face immediately darkened at this moment.

"You're not from the second wife's family, what are you laughing at!"

Honestly, I'm the eldest brother-in-law, but this Xie family doesn't give me any face at all. What does that mean?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. And now that things have escalated to this point, the second wife can't escape responsibility either!

However, this Xie was no pushover. She merely gave a cold laugh and said, "What? Can't I even laugh? Besides, doesn't my elder brother know what I'm laughing at?"

At this point, Xie ignored Gu Yingfu's embarrassed expression and continued, "The third branch of the family has fifty taels of silver in their pockets. Do you think they would care about such a small matter? To put it bluntly, the fact that things have turned out this way is probably what the third branch wanted to see."

After saying that, Madam Xie threw the vegetables in her hand into the small basket, then got up and carried them to the kitchen, saying, "Fifty taels of silver! Even if they eat lying down, they won't starve!"

Only someone as brainless as Gu Yingfu is still thinking about where the third wife's family might go.

So, it's really quite laughable that he's so brainless.

Gu Yingfu hadn't really thought of these things before, but after Xie said that, Gu Yingfu immediately realized what was going on and turned to look at Gu Dekang.

"father?"

Gu Dekang didn't care about these things at all. In his opinion, the third branch of the family was already beyond repair, and his eldest son was still there to help him. He wouldn't let himself suffer any losses. So at this moment, Gu Dekang didn't think about these things at all. Now, after being glanced at by Gu Yingfu, Gu Dekang coughed.

“Eldest brother, second brother’s wife is right. The third branch of the family has money now, so they’re not afraid of us at all. Even if we wanted to go find them, we wouldn’t be able to.”

After Gu Dekang finished speaking, he also sighed.

Tell me, when have you ever felt so frustrated in your life?

But if you say this is frustrating, then there's nothing you can do but endure it.

At this moment, Gu Yingfu took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

The thought that the third branch of the family was using their money to eat and drink was unbearable for Gu Yingfu. At this moment, Gu Yingfu even felt like he wanted to kill someone!

But there was nothing that could be done, and all that could be done was to endure it, which made people even more angry.

"I will absolutely not let them get away with this!"

That's ridiculous. You think you can just stop them because you're not going to let them off the hook?

Things have turned out this way now, and no one knows what the future holds.

Another point is that everyone clearly knows that if this matter really turns out to be something else, then things might not be so simple.

Gu Dekang glanced at Gu Yingfu but said nothing.

At noon, Gu Yingfu told Yang about this in his room.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang couldn't help but frown.

"What does Dad mean?"

This Yang is a clever woman. The eldest son's family suffered the most because things turned out this way. Moreover, Yang was humiliated in public. Just thinking about this incident makes Yang hate him to death!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yingfu frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Dad didn't say anything."

In this matter, Gu Dekang seemed completely indifferent, not caring at all. In fact, this made Gu Yingfu feel that something was wrong. But what could be done even if something was wrong?

Right now, all she wants is for the third branch of the family to die. Gu Yingfu doesn't even want to think about anything else. So no matter what happens, Gu Yingfu has to deal with it.

He absolutely cannot let the third wife's family get away with this!
