After all, she is their biological mother. Even if she is extremely wrong, none of them can really ignore Li Ying.
Gu Qi whispered, "I told her that if she can mend her ways, I'll let her come south to spend the winter after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she gambles again, she'll have to live out her life alone in her hometown."
Gu Yi added: "My eldest brother said that I still get one yuan a month, and he also gets one yuan, and he sends it to mom as living expenses."
"Is it enough?" Chen Xingling shook his head: "If it were someone else, ten dollars a month would be enough if they were frugal. But your mother has never been a frugal person."
Gu Qijun's face was cold, and he said, "It's enough to live on. Don't worry too much about her. She is almost crazy about gambling now, and she has lost her rationality. As long as she has money, she will gamble. Give her ten dollars, no more. If she can starve for half a month to gamble a few dollars, it depends on whether she can bear it."
"That's definitely not possible." Zhao Xiaoxing whispered, "Mother-in-law has a good appetite... She herself said that skipping a meal would be like killing her."
Gu Yi explained: "We bought her a ticket, she had dry food on the road, and hot water on the train. My eldest brother gave her a dollar to keep her safe, some food coupons, oil coupons, and a few sugar coupons, so we don't have to worry about her going hungry."
Chen Xingling was still not reassured, and asked, "Are the house deeds and land certificates at home with you?"
When the whole family moved to Yucheng, all the important things in the house were brought here. Since his mother was unreliable, Gu Qi kept these things by his side and locked them up from the beginning.
Gu Qi nodded: "They are all here, not one less."
Chen Xingling was finally relieved and whispered, "Your mother is capable of doing anything when she's impulsive. If she doesn't have money, she'll probably try every possible way to get it. If we're not around and no one stops her, she might sell the old house and the land."
"...I don't think so." Gu Yi couldn't help but defend the old lady: "Although my mother is a little stupid and unreasonable, she still wouldn't dare to do such a foolish thing. The family's real estate was passed down from our ancestors, she wouldn't dare to mess around."
"You're wrong." Chen Xingling had no confidence in her mother-in-law at all. She said, "Gambling can make people lose their minds. Once she has the opportunity to get money, she will go crazy to get it. Isn't it hard for you to make money? Doesn't she gamble again and again?"
Gu Yi was speechless.
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly, "Nine out of ten people lose money when gambling. How many people have lost their families because of gambling? If it was a year or two ago, your mother owed more than a thousand yuan. With the family's financial situation, wouldn't she have to sell the old house and the land? If she didn't rely on Aqi's salary to pay it back bit by bit, she wouldn't even be able to pay the interest."
Gu Yi was secretly shocked and looked at Gu Qi nervously.
"Brother, are you sure all the things are here with you? Are they not lost?"
Gu Qi said calmly, "It's okay, they are all here. Without the title deed and the land certificate in the countryside, no one would dare to pay her to buy it even if she wanted to. Besides, I have also warned her that if she dares to borrow money from others, A Yi and I will not acknowledge a penny, nor will we help her. We will let her fend for herself."
Everyone thought that this kind of threat was great - it should be guarded against carefully!
After a while, Gu Yi sent Gu Xuan back to the factory, and then walked back hesitantly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I-I think it's not safe to let Xuan live alone. Although there is no guard at the factory, most of the people coming in and out are male workers. Xuan is a young girl after all... We still need to be careful."
Gu Qi frowned slightly and nodded gently.
"If it's just a few days, I'm not worried. But if she lives alone for a long time, it's really not good. She will take the college entrance examination in half a year, and she will have to live on campus in the future. Otherwise - you can cancel the rent and move back."
"No!" Zhao Xiaoxing became excited and hesitated: "Grandma will be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival... We will have to live with her in the future. I... I dare not."
Gu Yi looked at his wife and didn't dare to say anything more.
Chen Xingling watched it all from the side and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we can discuss this matter slowly. In addition, no matter how to arrange it, we still have to ask Ah Xuan's opinion."
"Yeah." Gu Qi nodded: "It's late at night, you should go back and rest early."
Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing said goodbye and left Sanyuan one after another.
Zhao Xiaoxing held the flashlight and saw Gu Yi standing in front of her without looking back. She guessed that he was probably angry with her.
So she walked quickly forward and followed him.
"Ayi...are you angry?"
Gu Yi's face was a little sour, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are thinking. You said you are afraid of my mother, I can understand. Because my mother is really annoying sometimes. I don't force you to be very nice to my mother, you must get along with her. In the future, how to feed her and how to take care of her until the end of her life, we can discuss these later. But now you can't even get along with Ah Xuan! It was the same when Ah Miao was here. One is like this, two or three are like this! Should I say that my family is difficult to get along with, or should I say that you have your own problems?"
Zhao Xiaoxing's eyes turned red, and she whispered, "No..."
"What else is it?" Gu Yi couldn't help getting angry: "If you marry me, you have to learn to adapt to my family. There are so many people in my family, you can't not get along with anyone except your eldest sister-in-law, right? Your eldest sister-in-law is different, she is nice to everyone. I suspect that if your eldest sister-in-law can't get along with everyone, I'm afraid you won't be able to get along with her!"
Zhao Xiaoxing choked up and explained, "It's different... Your sister-in-law has married so many children... Xiaohuzi is already four years old. I don't even have one child."
Gu Yi snorted coldly: "This is not a matter of time, okay?! When my sister-in-law married my eldest brother, she was much more miserable than you! At that time, my eldest brother went abroad to study and was away for more than two days. My sister-in-law was pregnant with a big belly and was busy with work. My mother made things difficult for her and disliked her in various ways. You are much luckier than her, do you know? You still have me to help you, as well as my sister-in-law and others. You can't keep hiding like this! You are marrying me, you have to learn to adapt to my family!"
"I... I don't want to!" Zhao Xiaoxing was also very aggrieved, and shouted: "But your mother looks down on me! She doesn't even want to talk to me nicely, and she either insults me or despises me! Your little sister is the same! Just like your mother! Your second sister doesn't like to talk, and I don't know what to say to her. It's not that I don't want to be nice to them, it's that I don't know how to be nice to them!"
Gu Yi said angrily: "You don't know how to learn? Do you think it's okay if you don't learn? You married into my family, you must learn to adapt to my family! I can help you, but I can't completely cut off contact with them, right? They are all my dearest people!"
"You only think about yourself!" Zhao Xiaoxing cried in grievance: "You only think about your family! What about me? Who has ever thought about me? Who has ever understood me? Except for my sister-in-law and my eldest brother, no one else in your family likes me! What else can I do? I get scared when I see them! Why don't you think about me? Do I have it easy? Do I have it easy?!"
"It's not easy for you, but it's easy for me?" Gu Yi stopped in anger, "I said so many good things for you! If we weren't worried about you being upset, would we move out and live separately?! It's a few dollars a month, we have to take a detour, and we have to sleep with a bunch of rats!"
Zhao Xiaoxing cried loudly: "To be honest, you are just not satisfied with me... You are just like mom and the others. You are beginning to dislike my incompetence... You dislike me for being a burden to you!"
"Don't go too far!" Gu Yi said in a deep voice: "If I disliked you, I wouldn't have insisted on marrying you! We are talking about your problem now! You have to learn to get along with the relatives around me, and you can't always avoid it!"
"I...how did I escape?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked aggrievedly.
Gu Yi snorted coldly and rolled his eyes: "You are afraid of my mother, but my mother has been driven away now! My eldest brother said that she will not be back until at least the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ah Xuan will take the college entrance examination in a few months, and will go to study outside in the future. She will come back during summer and winter vacations at most. She is in her twenties and will have to get married after finishing her studies. How much time can you spend with her? Can't you just make do with her?"
