Chapter 127 Sending People Away
Feng cried for a while, and thought that her husband would persuade and comfort her, but he did not speak for a long time.
Feng became more and more sad as she cried, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Now I am unwilling to even say a few words of comfort...
Could it be that he really believed what that old immortal said, felt that he was not a good person, and began to regret it?
Feng turned her face away with a fierce look in her eyes.
You are already old enough to be buried up to your neck in the ground, and you want to regret it now? Pah! Don’t even think about it!
Yes, she was shameless enough to take off her clothes and climb into his bed, but flies don't bite seamless eggs!
How could a woman like her commit adultery behind her cousin's back?
If he had no intention, he should have avoided having close contact with her "sister-in-law"!
But he, a grown man, took the initiative to be affectionate to his "sister-in-law", and every now and then he would give her either a ruler, silk flowers, red ropes, and even rouge and powder!
Over the years, she gave birth to children for him, took care of his clothes and food, lived with him obediently for decades, and suffered for decades without ever complaining.
Even when that old man pointed at her nose and called her shameless, she never turned her face away from him, nor did she ever feel any remorse.
Now, she is paralyzed and can no longer take care of him. Her son and daughter have already married, so the family can survive with or without her.
Gu Wanjin (Mr. Gu) probably felt that it was too expensive to support a disabled person like her. He himself was also sick and needed money to spend, so he probably despised her in his heart.
Forget about all the previous words about protecting her and standing by her side. Now he feels regretful. Does he want to divorce her?!
The hatred in Feng's eyes was like a sharp blade, and she wished she could cut Mr. Gu into pieces right now!
Unfortunately, no matter how deep her hatred was now, she couldn't turn against him.
My eldest son has yet to graduate from high school and has not achieved anything. I can't rely on him at this moment.
The second son had become estranged from her and also knew about what had happened in the past. Not to mention expecting him to take care of her, she was lucky enough that he didn't harm her.
There is no need to think about daughters. A married daughter is like water spilled. There is no reason for a married daughter to support her elderly mother without her brothers’ permission.
There is no such logic in the world. If you really do this, my daughter's in-laws will definitely feel resentful.
After all the calculations, she realized that she couldn't count on anyone else in the Gu family except her husband.
For a moment, Feng felt unspeakable sadness and grievance in her heart, and tears immediately fell.
Her life has been a joke. If her cousin knew her current situation, she would probably scold her harshly: It’s your karma!
When she thought of this, Feng trembled with hatred!
When she was a girl at home, she was not as good as her cousin. Later, when she was seeking marriage, she was inferior to her cousin in appearance, so all the men looked at her cousin and didn't even look at her!
It was not until she forced her cousin to divorce herself that she felt prouder than her cousin!
Now that decades have passed, is she going to go back to the days when she was always inferior to her cousin in everything?
If that's the case, then what was the point of her doing all these things over the years?
Feng closed her eyes, she was unwilling to accept her fate.
Suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, Feng let her tears continue to flow, turned her face away and humbly surrendered to Master Gu.
"I have been thinking about what the clan leader said yesterday. It was indeed my fault back then. You and my cousin lived a comfortable and happy life, but I was shameless enough to ruin your relationship. If it weren't for me, your life would probably be much smoother than it is now..."
At the end, Feng cried very sadly, with a look of "regret" on her face.
When Mr. Gu saw his wife like this, he was deeply touched.
He didn't think that Feng had done anything wrong back then. If Feng was wrong, then he was also wrong.
Mr. Gu always firmly believed that his original choice was not wrong!
Mrs. Feng has been married for three years but has not given birth yet! She has also made his life miserable!
But since he married Feng, his life has been completely changed. Although he no longer has much money, the small changes are enough for him to spend.
Feng always gave him first priority in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities at home, and put him first in everything, serving him both respectfully and comfortably, which was something he had never enjoyed before.
In the decades that he had lived with Feng, no matter how picky Mr. Gu was, he could not say anything bad about Feng.
Thinking about all the good things Feng had done over the years, Mr. Gu felt more and more soft-hearted, and finally spoke to comfort her: "Don't say that again. I never regretted marrying you back then, and I still don't regret it now. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Feng felt a little relieved and nodded continuously, tears still flowing.
Old Master Gu raised his hand to wipe her tears, and then said: "My tone was not good just now, not because of what happened in the past, but because I thought of our current health and situation."
Feng paused, still not understanding what was said.
Old Master Gu knew that she was not very smart, so he explained everything to her in detail: "I can see that the second son really wants to split the family. From what he said, I'm afraid he has already persuaded the clan leader."
"So what if we persuade the clan leader? We are his biological parents, not his stepfather or stepmother. You and I just have to refuse to agree to the separation! Can the clan leader force us to agree?"
What Feng said was not wrong. Logically speaking, as long as the parents at home don't agree, can the clan force people to separate?
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu actually nodded: "You are right. As long as the clan leader convinces the four elders, the clan can force you and me to separate the family."
Feng was shocked: "How can they act like this?! Even if they are a prominent family, they cannot force their members to split up!"
Indeed, this cannot be done under normal circumstances.
But something happened to the Gu family.
There was once a family in the clan whose parents were chronically ill, so the eldest son became the head of the family at an early age.
In addition to serving and supporting her seriously ill parents, she also had to support her three younger brothers at home.
After he had finally raised his younger brothers and married them off one by one, the eldest brother wanted to divide the family business so that he could save some money to marry himself.
Unfortunately, his parents were partial to him. Even though the eldest son said all the nice things and was willing to continue supporting his parents without his three younger brothers providing food and money, the family property was still not divided.
The family business could not be divided, and the money earned by the eldest son was taken away by his parents for various reasons, and was secretly given to his three younger brothers.
When the eldest son found out, he realized that all the money he had earned over the years had been given away to his three younger brothers.
The eldest son became angrier and angrier, and finally started fighting with his three younger brothers.
The four brothers were really angry at each other. The three younger brothers joined forces to beat the eldest son. In the end, they accidentally killed him!
Because the incident happened in public, the murder could not be concealed. The government quickly took away the three "murderers" and sentenced them to exile according to the law.
Not long after, all three died on the way to exile.
The four brothers had no children left, and their parents, who were already ill, were angered to death because of this.
The three daughters-in-law buried the two elders in a hurry, then returned to their parents' homes and married again soon after.
After this incident, the reputation of the Gu family was affected, and outsiders mistakenly believed that all the members of the Gu family were biased parents, conscienceless brothers, and brainless eldest sons.
In order to clear the clan's reputation, the clan leader of the Gu clan at that time, together with the clan elders, established a rule: if a clan member's parents were sick and a son proposed to separate the family, the clan leader could investigate the matter together with the clan elders.
If it is discovered that there is more than one son in the family, and there may be only one who can support the family, the clan can forcibly intervene in the division of the family property. There is no need for the parents to agree or not, as long as it is fair and just.
Old Master Gu told these things to Mrs. Feng, who was shocked and angry: "Our family is not that kind of family! Although the second son's family has done more work, the eldest son is not idle either!
The eldest brother and his son study hard day and night, hoping to get into high school as soon as possible, so that our Gu family can change their status! When the time comes, the second brother's family will also enjoy it!"
"That being said, the eldest brother and his son have not yet graduated from high school, and the clan leader and elders will not listen to this."
Old Master Gu sighed, even if he could pass the imperial examination, it would be a good thing. Now that he hasn't passed the exam yet, there will probably be gossips everywhere in the clan, which will probably exacerbate the issue of dividing the family.
Feng was a little panicked: "What should I do?"
What should I do?
Old Master Gu sighed, "I'll call the eldest son in later and tell him to work hard these few days to shut up the second son. The longer it takes, the better..."
Let the boss do some work?
Feng pursed her lips and said nothing.
She knows her own children very well. It will not work if she lets the eldest child do the work!
Besides, the eldest brother is still sick. If he is asked to do the work, what should we do if he gets tired again?
No! We have to think of another way!
Feng lay on her back and glanced at the beams, secretly gritting her teeth. If the clan really dared to force them to separate, she would hang herself on the beam and commit suicide!
Feng had a good idea, but unfortunately someone knew her very well and had been on guard against her early on.
In the west wing kitchen, Gu Lianshan was stirring the paste in the pot with a spoon, while Gu Ping'an was sitting in front of the stove helping to light the fire.
Behind him was Gu Tang, who was standing in front of the stove cooking a soothing soup.
This is made for Feng, and I have to trick her into eating it later.
There were only three of them in the kitchen at this moment, father and son, and Gu Lianshan whispered about the matter of dividing the family property that he had asked someone to discuss yesterday.
"... Dad's brothers all agreed to help, and your uncle Dazhu even gave Dad some advice."
"What idea?" Gu Ping'an looked curious.
"Dad said that our family is most afraid that your grandma will cry, make a fuss, or even hang herself when the time comes! Your uncle Dazhu said that he would take your grandma to Bei'an City and trick her into hiring a good doctor to treat her.
When we get to Bei'an City, we will let your grandma stay in the inn for three to five days and not allow her to come back. After the division of the family is completed, we will bring her back. By then, we won't be afraid even if your grandma really hangs herself!"
"That's a good idea!" Gu Ping'an was very happy. He turned around and asked Gu Tang, "Second sister, what do you think?"
Gu Tang nodded: "Okay, this is a good idea, but we can't let anyone know which inn Grandma is staying in."
"Of course!" Gu Lianshan pointed to the east, "I will go to the clan leader's house later to urge him and get close to him. We will see when he brings the clan elders home so that we can send your grandma to Bei'an City in advance!"
Gu Tang paused, and suddenly suggested, "Why don't we send the person over this afternoon? I plan to go to the city this afternoon, and the chickens and ducks in the yard need to be fed and watered, so it's a good opportunity to bring the milk along."
Send it over today?
Gu Lianshan was a little embarrassed: "It's okay to go today, but who will stay in Bei'an City to take care of your grandma?"
He looked at his son and daughter and said, "Dad must be at home for the division of the family. Otherwise, how about you two go to Bei'an City together to look after your grandma?"
Gu Tang was not happy about it and asked her to go and look after Feng Shi? She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and make Feng Shi die!
"It doesn't have to be our own family members who take care of her. We can go to Bei'an City and hire a maid to help take care of my grandma. She is used to serving others and will be more careful and capable than us."
Gu Tang's idea was good, but Gu Lianshan felt sorry for the money: "It will cost a lot of money to hire a maid. Your grandma and your grandpa are two bottomless pits now. They both need money for medical treatment and medicine. We should save some money."
"Don't worry about the money." Gu Tang pointed to the east wing, "I will go to the east wing later and check it out. I will definitely find some good things there. I will sell them and the money I get will be enough to hire a maid.
Besides, my grandma loves to enjoy herself. She doesn’t get angry when she has a maid to serve her. If Ping An and I were to take care of her, I’m afraid she would get angry eight hundred times a day!”
really.
Gu Lianshan curled his lips. He couldn't refute this.
Continue stirring the paste a few times, and after a while, half of the pot of paste is successfully served.
Gu Lianshan took out four large bowls, scooped out four bowls and put them aside, and the rest were scooped into the rice bowl.
Then he scrubbed the pot clean, poured the washed rice into the pot, added water, and asked his son to continue to light the fire.
He covered the pot and let the rice porridge slowly cook in the pot. Gu Lianshan took the porridge in the rice bowl and went to the main room.
After her father left, Gu Tang quickly got up and went back to the house, took out another packet of tranquilizing soup, and then added it all into the medicine jar.
At present, there are two packets of calming soup in the medicine jar, and the water still needs three bowls of water. After boiling one bowl, you can pour it out and drink it.
Gu Ping'an stared in amazement at his second sister's manipulation of the medicine. After a while, he asked dryly, "Too much, right? Won't it be bad if I take so much?"
"This is a soothing soup. What can go wrong? The worst that can happen is that she will just sleep for a day. If she can really sleep for a day, then we can save a lot of trouble and bring her to Bei'an City smoothly."
Gu Pingan was slightly stunned. Is that so? After taking a double portion of the tranquilizing soup, I would just have to sleep for a whole day?
The original taste of the calming soup was not too strong, but Gu Tang put an extra packet in. As it was slowly boiled, the double amount of medicinal flavor bubbled out exponentially.
Gu Tang took a sniff and felt that with every gurgling, the smell of medicine in the kitchen became stronger.
Gu Ping'an pinched his nose and asked in a muffled voice, "Second sister, this medicine smells too strong. Are you sure you will drink milk later?"
"Don't want to drink? If she doesn't want to drink, then force her to drink! I've spent all the money and prepared the medicine, there's no way she won't drink it!"
Gu Tang also pinched his nose and stirred the herbs in the medicine jar, dry heaving from time to time.
When Chapter 127 was updated, 4,000 more words were added, turning the 4,000-word chapter into an 8,000-word chapter.
I didn't have many manuscripts saved, so I immediately revised it to 4,000 words out of great pain.
But later I found out that the charges were calculated based on the first release, that is, the first release was 8,000 words, and subsequent revisions were not counted.
Later, I thought of publishing the first version at 4,000 words, and then revising it to 5,000 words (still charging based on 4,000 words), until the 4,000 words I owed were made up.
But the editor suddenly said that some readers still complained to the customer service, saying that they spent 20 extra coins. In this case, I can only publish a sequel and put it in the free chapter as compensation for the treasures~
The reissue is in the previous free chapter~
