Chapter 111 Push it onto her father!
Hearing this, Patriarch Gu frowned and was very dissatisfied.
But on second thought, it is really not easy for a girl to talk about the bad things here, and Zhang is the girl's biological mother. No matter whether it is good or bad, it is not something she, as a girl, can say.
After relaxing his expression, Patriarch Gu's tone became much gentler: "Are you here for something today?"
Gu Tang nodded: "My grandfather and my grandmother are both sick, and they just wanted to eat meat. But it's too late to buy meat now, so I thought about the roosters that my eldest wife (the clan leader's wife) raised, so I came home to buy two."
"It's understandable that your grandma fell ill, but how could your grandpa fall ill?" Patriarch Gu looked confused.
Mrs. Feng fell ill, and it was probably related to Mrs. Zhang. The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had a fight. With Mrs. Feng's temper, it would be strange if she didn't take the opportunity to lie in bed and take control of the second wife's family!
But why did his cousin also fall ill? Could it be that he wanted to support Feng and take the opportunity to lie down together?
"When my mother passed away, my grandma and grandpa were fine, but later they quarreled with my uncle for some reason. As they quarreled, the old couple quarreled with each other, and finally they both fainted from anger."
The old couple fainted from anger after arguing?
Patriarch Gu’s face turned dark blue!
Gu Tang took a peek and continued, "We invited a doctor from our clan to come to our house for treatment yesterday afternoon and prescribed some medicine. My father was worried and stayed in the main room all night. The two elders just woke up this morning."
He actually slept all night?
A flash of surprise appeared in Patriarch Gu's eyes, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
His cousin and his wife have always been in cahoots with each other. It is impossible that they would be so angry that they would fall asleep all night and even call a doctor just because of a quarrel!
Now that it has become like this, something must have happened! And it must be a big one!
Chief Gu hurriedly asked Gu Tang: "Do you know why they quarreled to such an extent?"
Gu Tang shook his head: "I don't know about that. After my grandfather and my grandmother fainted from anger, my uncle also fainted from anger, but he woke up soon. After waking up, my father asked my uncle to go to the main hall to keep watch, but my uncle said he was dizzy and refused to go with a sullen face. Now he has been lying in the east wing."
Patriarch Gu was furious after hearing this: "You have studied for decades, but you have completely lost your filial piety! It's all because of your grandfather and grandmother! You are in your forties, but you don't know the difference between grains and you are not physically active! And he is a farmer! If anyone knows this, it will be so embarrassing!"
After saying this, he slapped the table, stood up and walked out.
Gu Tang stood there without moving.
She didn't need to follow him to know that Patriarch Gu was definitely going to find her father.
Zou, who was waiting outside in the corridor, saw her father-in-law walk out of the yard with an angry look on his face, and hurried into the house to ask Gu Tang: "What happened? Where is your uncle going so angrily?"
Gu Tang told Zou everything that had happened word for word, which shocked Zou so much that she opened her mouth slightly, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
As a young daughter-in-law, she had never experienced such a thing. For a moment, she didn't know how to talk about it.
Gu Tang took the initiative to skip this topic and asked about the rooster: "Do you still have roosters at home? My grandma has been sick like a child. She has been making a fuss all morning, saying that she wants to eat meat. If there is no meat, she will go on a hunger strike. Dear aunt, if there are still roosters, you must sell two to your niece. If I go back empty-handed, I will definitely be scolded..."
Zou looked pitying and said, "We have roosters. All three are here. Your wife said the other day that she wanted to take them to Bei'an City to sell. Now that you want them, she doesn't have to go anymore. It's so cold, it's torture to go out."
He walked up to Gu Tang, pulled her hand, and took her to the backyard to catch chickens.
After leaving the house, he saw a few young boys playing in the yard. No one else was there. Gu Tang asked casually, "Why didn't I see Grandma? When I came here, my father specifically told me to say hello to Grandma."
"Your eldest wife has taken her family to visit relatives for a banquet. I'm afraid she won't be back until the afternoon."
Arriving at the backyard, Zou found a hemp rope and held it in her hand before opening the door of the chicken coop.
Probably because of the cold weather, all the roosters were huddled in the chicken coop. Zou reached into the coop, pulled out the roosters one by one, tied their feet with hemp ropes, and carried them out of the chicken coop.
The two roosters weighed together were heavy, a total of eight pounds, about four pounds each.
In the village, a rooster can be raised to weigh four kilograms, and that is something that people are really willing to feed.
Putting down the scale, Zou picked up the rooster and asked, "Are these two okay?"
"Okay! It couldn't be better."
After receiving the chicken, Gu Tang happily touched its comb and asked the price: "How much is one pound of copper for this rooster?"
"If you come to my house to buy chickens, I'll charge you thirty-five copper coins per catty, eight catties is..." Zou counted on her fingers, and after a while she gave a number: "Two hundred and ten copper coins!"
Gu Tang nodded, yes, that’s the number.
But if he took out so many copper coins from his sleeves, it would be scary!
"Good aunt, I don't have enough copper coins on me, so I'll put this chicken aside for now and come back to ask my father for enough copper coins, okay?"
"What's the big deal? Just take the chicken home. There's no rush for the copper coins." Zou waved at Gu Tang, asking her to take the chicken back first.
Gu Tang smiled, said thank you, then left with the two chickens.
As soon as he left the clan leader's house, Gu Tang ran home as fast as he could!
Her father was unreliable, so she must not let the secret slip in front of the clan leader!
Slipped the tongue?
That's impossible.
In fact, when Gu Lianshan heard the clan leader say that Gu Tang went to his house to buy chickens, he glanced at the furious clan leader and quickly understood.
No need to think, it must be what his daughter said.
Gu Lianshan didn't know what his daughter had said to the clan leader, so he could only pretend to be sad and remain silent, deliberately leading the clan leader to spill all the beans.
After listening to the clan leader's words, Gu Lianshan also understood what his daughter had said to the clan leader, and he continued speaking according to his daughter's words.
First, he emphasized that he had never agreed to Zhang bringing the two sons of the Lin family back to the Gu family. Then he mentioned that Zhang was divorced. Finally, he threw out that Zhang had stolen the family's property and had an accomplice, and that accomplice was Wei, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family.
Divorce is a big deal and the clan must be informed, and the news will spread sooner or later.
As for the matter of Zhang and Wei stealing property, outsiders don't need to know about it, but as the patriarch of the Gu clan, I must know about it.
This matter concerns the reputation of the entire family. If it were to be spread out, all the unmarried girls and boys in the family would be implicated to some extent.
By then, the Gu family would probably be criticized by the whole clan and would have no place to stand in the village.
After saying this, the rest were the heinous acts such as his daughter breaking the arm of the Lin family's kid, burning the Lin family's luggage, forcing her own mother to sign a confession, and making his parents angry. Gu Lianshan simply erased them.
That's not true!
No matter who hears the rumors in the future, he only has one thing to say: It’s not true!
