Chapter 140 The discord between brothers was all instigated by you!

Pinching his nose with one hand and lifting and hanging the curtain with the other hand, Gu Tang quickly rushed into the east room and opened all the windows to let the smell in the house dissipate quickly!

Old man Gu was still sleeping. He was scolded by his son yesterday and saw with his own eyes that his son replaced rice porridge and eggs with porridge. The old man was angry and sad. He fell asleep in a daze until three o'clock in the morning.

He was sleeping soundly at this moment, and Gu Tang's actions did not wake him up.

As cold wind continued to pour into the house, the chill gradually seeped into the quilt that did not keep out the cold. The quilt, which had originally been somewhat warm, was now icy cold to the bone.

Especially my feet, they were so cold that I felt like I had lost all feeling.

Old Master Gu opened his eyes shivering, awakened by the cold.

Looking at the spider webs on the beams, Jiang Suxing's mind was still a little dazed. Noticing that the room was very bright, Mr. Gu felt something was wrong and turned to look toward the window.

The windows were wide open and the cold wind blew in. The fire in the stove was out and the room was as cold as an ice cellar.

He sat up shivering and put on the clothes on the quilt. He glanced around the room with his dim eyes and saw Gu Tang standing at the door.

All of a sudden, many bad guesses filled his mind. Mr. Gu had a gloomy face and asked Gu Tang, "Did you open the window in this room?"

Opening all the windows in the middle of winter, are you trying to freeze him to death?

Gu Tang was still pinching his nose with one hand, and said in a muffled voice: "I am ventilating you. Don't you smell the stench of feces and urine in this room? Come on, you are not unable to walk or move, why don't you know to go to the toilet? Why do you have to relieve yourself in this room!"

She pointed to the urine bucket behind the door. There was feces and urine in it, and it was half full!

Judging from the amount, it must have been stored for two or three days.

Old Master Gu's face flushed red. He could hear the disdain in Gu Tang's words. He cursed angrily, "I gave birth to your father, a ruthless man, and raised you ungrateful grandchildren. Now that I'm sick, I don't even have a close servant to serve me! If any of you come in and serve me, my house won't be like a stable!"

That doesn't make sense.

Gu Tang spat, "You only gave birth to my father and one son? The whole family in the East Wing that claimed to be the eldest son and the eldest branch died out? Good things never come to our second branch, but bad things are all pushed to our side. No wonder the brothers in this family are at odds with each other. It turns out that a biased father like you is behind it!"

"You! You evil creature!" These words were extremely hurtful, and Mr. Gu was so angry that he was speechless.

Gu Tang glanced at him sideways and continued to stab his chest with the knife: "Since you fell ill, how many nights has my father slept on the floor in your room? Are you blind and didn't see it, or are you trying to pin this on your eldest son so that he can get the reputation of being filial?

My grandma was so sick that she was paralyzed in bed. Did your eldest son ever say anything about asking for a doctor? My father didn't hold a grudge and took my grandma to see a doctor. He spent both money and effort. The East Wing was like a turtle hiding its head, not even showing its face!

"It's only been two or three days since I left home, and you're complaining that no one is waiting for you. The whole family in the east wing is at home, why don't you use them? They are your sons and grandchildren, why don't you use them? Those ungrateful and ungrateful people you curse should be cursed at them!"

After hearing these words, Mr. Gu felt dizzy.

He covered his chest and gasped loudly, glaring at Gu Tang fiercely. He was angry and hateful in his heart, but he couldn't find the words to refute.

After scolding the guy, Gu Tang felt very happy and refreshed.

She brought in the tray from outside, put the porridge on the table, and said something sarcastically, "You are always thinking about your big son, but look at who brought you all the food and drinks?

If you have the ability, you can ask your eldest son to come in and serve you. If he is willing to come in and serve you, I will never say a word in return if you ever call my father a ruthless person again!"

Old Master Gu suppressed his anger and said nothing. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, Gu Tang would take the opportunity to make trouble for the east wing.

Without waiting for Mr. Gu to start arguing with him, Gu Tang didn't care and turned away.

She just wanted to scold people, and she would feel relieved after doing so. As for whether Mr. Gu talked back or not, she didn't care.

Anyway, she had already delivered the meal, had already confronted him, and had vented her anger.

After everyone left, Mr. Gu closed his eyes and kept patting his chest, but in the end he couldn't help it and raised his hand to smash the paste on the table.

The bowl was made of wood and didn't break, but the paste in the bowl splashed everywhere!

Old Master Gu leaned against the head of the bed and took a few deep breaths. After a long while, he stood up tremblingly and put on his clothes.

He put on his clothes and shoes, picked up the crutch beside him, and slowly walked out with the crutch.

When I got outside, a biting cold wind blew in my face, and soon all the warmth in my body was gone, but the anger in my heart was not extinguished.

Glancing towards the west wing, he heard the voices of Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an talking in the kitchen. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around at the moment, Mr. Gu went straight to the east wing.

For fear of disturbing Gu Tang, Mr. Gu did not dare to knock on the door. Instead, he walked to the window of the room where his son lived and shouted softly into the room.

When Gu Lianshan got up, he made quite a noise, and the people in the east wing also woke up, but because it was cold, they stayed in bed and didn't get up.

Gu Liansheng felt unhappy when he suddenly heard his father's voice. Thinking of the old man's attitude towards him last night, Gu Liansheng pretended not to hear it and let the old man freeze outside.

Gu Tianbao, who slept in the same room with him, poked his head out from under the quilt and saw that his father was indifferent and had no intention of getting up to open the door. He had to get up shivering, put on some clothes, jumped out of bed and ran to open the door.

Gu Liansheng glanced at his son but didn't stop him from opening the door.

After opening the door, the cold wind outside instantly hit his body. Gu Tianbao sneezed out of the cold and quickly jumped back into bed, shivering constantly.

Old Man Gu was the last one to close the door. He walked to the bedside tremblingly and looked at the only stove in the room. He felt distressed.

"Why don't you light up another stove? You and your son are both scholars, and you are weak. You can't let them get cold."

Gu Liansheng's face froze, but he still didn't speak.

Gu Tianbao opened his mouth to complain: "Si Ya won't let us use the firewood chopped by their second house. The firewood we have used these days was all chopped by my eldest sister, second sister and others in the mountains. Unfortunately, my eldest sister is stupid and lost her axe. Now the firewood is about to run out. If we don't think of a solution, we will have to suffer from the cold tonight!"

Hearing his grandson's complaint, Mr. Gu's rage grew stronger, his expression twisted for a moment, and it took him a while to suppress his anger and comfort Gu Tianbao.

"My dear grandson, please bear with it for a while, bear with it for a while..."

Gu Tianbao curled his lips. Endure? He has been patient enough! How else can he endure this?

"Dad, is there something that brings you here now?" Gu Liansheng asked impatiently.

The impatience in his son's tone was not concealed at all. Mr. Gu naturally heard it and his eyes turned red instantly.

He suppressed the bitterness in his eyes and said, "Ask Qing and Lian to go to your sister's house and tell them that the clan is forcing us to split up today. Ask them to bring your brother-in-law to help."

Gu Liansheng's face turned cold: "Second brother, are you determined to split up the family no matter what?"

"Your second brother has completely left us. Dad has seen clearly that there is no way to coax him back, so we just let him do what he wants. But how to divide this family must be decided by me, your father."

Gu Liansheng suddenly became anxious and sat up: "Are you getting old and confused? How can you agree to split up the family?"

This is all the family's assets. Even if we give it all to the eldest son, it will only last two years at most as they have more money going out than coming in!

No one knows a son better than his father. Mr. Gu knew what his son was thinking at a glance.

He wanted to tell his son the truth, but when he saw Gu Tianbao listening to their conversation, he swallowed the words and only made a vague promise to his son.

"Don't worry. Even if we split up, Dad won't let you and your son interrupt your studies." Old Master Gu said with an unusually firm tone.

Gu Liansheng's heart moved slightly, and he looked up at his father. He saw the old man nodded at him meaningfully, as if he had his own plans.

With such an obvious hint, what could Gu Liansheng not understand?

The old man is hiding some of his family fortune!

Seeing that his son understood his hint, Mr. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell your daughter clearly that in addition to calling your sister and brother-in-law, call the third daughter-in-law of the Wang family as well. She is good at talking and can help us argue a few words."

The third daughter-in-law of the Wang family...

Gu Liansheng's eyes flickered slightly.

The third daughter-in-law of the Wang family was named Li. On the surface, she seemed to be gentle, never quarreling with anyone, and not even good at speaking.

But no one dares to bully him when he is in the Wang family.

There was no other reason, it was just that among the many businesses that Li's family was engaged in, there was one that was relatively unethical - being a human trafficker.

Although this business belonged to the Li family, after Li married into the Wang family, she made use of her natal family's connections and secretly did a lot of business.

Because they were getting paid, the Wang family helped to cover up a little bit and only took on "business" introduced by acquaintances. They would not accept any business from anyone they didn't know.

The old man didn't choose anyone else but Li, which made it hard for people not to think of something wrong.

Gu Liansheng was curious like a cat's paw, so he sent his son away, asked him to sleep on the couch in the outer room with his quilt, and allowed him to have another quilt.

Gu Tianbao was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he could only hold the quilt and go to the outer room shivering.

After his son left, Gu Liansheng leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered, "Do you want Li to take the second son's daughter away?"

"Since we are splitting up the family, Dad has to make plans for your future." Old Man Gu replied with a gloomy look in his eyes.

This idea did not come to him at that moment, but was a decision he made after discussing it with his wife early on.

But the weird thing was, every time he found an excuse to invite his daughter to bring Li home, he always missed that damn girl Si Ya!

Counting, Li came home twice! But each time she missed Si Ya, whenever Li came home and asked Si Ya where that little beast had gone, she would definitely go to Bei'an City.

Li had never seen what Si Ya looked like, so she couldn't give an estimate of her value.

It's hard to estimate the price, and they don't dare to take the risk. If it's only worth a few taels, there's really no need to risk offending the second brother.

It’s different now. The second son is insisting on dividing the family business. Since we can’t rely on him in the future, there is no risk.

No matter what the price is, they will make a profit if they sell it!

Although Mr. Gu did not admit it directly, what he said was equivalent to a direct admission.

Gu Liansheng immediately understood what was going on, so he stopped asking questions and got up to get dressed.

After putting on his clothes, he went to another room and woke up the two sisters inside. He told them what the old man had told them to do, and then urged them to hurry up.

The Wang family lived in Wangzhai Village, not far from Shanghe Village, so sisters Gu Qing and Gu Lian walked there.

It was hard on the way there, but comfortable on the way back. The Wang family had an ox cart, so we rode back in the cart, which was fast and not tiring.

Seeing his daughter leave the yard, all the frustration in Gu Liansheng's heart disappeared. He glanced towards the west wing with a sinister look. He was waiting to see the second child cry!

Seeing his father favoring him so much, Gu Liansheng, who had always been selfish and hard-hearted, rarely smiled gently.

I no longer care about what happened last night.

While he was telling his son to get up and cook porridge, he was coaxing the old man to stay for dinner: "The kitchen has always been occupied by the second son, and we dare not go there, for fear of being an eyesore and getting beaten, so we have to use the clay pot to cook porridge in this room.

My son was afraid that you would despise me, so he never dared to ask you to come over to eat with him. Today, no matter what you say, you can’t leave, and you are not allowed to despise me. At least stay in my room and have a meal..."

It was originally a matter of being unfilial and eating alone, but after Gu Liansheng's nonsense, he turned himself into a poor little boy who was suppressed by the second wife and was afraid of being looked down upon by his own father, and a filial son!

I can hear Mr. Gu blaming himself and hating himself for not coming to his son's side earlier to see what kind of life he is living now.

The eldest son was spoiled since he was young, and everything he ate, drank, wore and used was given to him.

But ever since he fell ill, the eldest son's treatment at home immediately changed.

He didn't have enough food to eat or clothes to wear, and he even had to worry about firewood and ask the girls and boys in the house to chop it!

The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the more distressed he felt, and his anger towards the second wife reached its peak.

"Dad knows you've been suffering these days. At this time of year in previous years, you often went to the city to get together with your classmates. After the family is divided, Dad will give you some money and ask you to go to Bei'an City to find your classmates and give them a good banquet..."

Gu Liansheng lowered his eyes to hide the gleam in his eyes.

Soon, he concealed his strangeness and became more affectionate towards the old man, constantly joking and coaxing the old man. It had been a long time since the father and son had such harmony and warmth.

In the west wing, Gu Lianshan, who had just returned, was eating with a bowl in his hand in the kitchen, slurping his food. From time to time, he would pick up a piece of pickled vegetables that Gu Tang had mixed with hot oil with his chopsticks, and his mouth was full of the aroma of oil.

Jiang was talking to Gu Tang about the clan leader's words when he was suddenly interrupted by laughter coming from the east wing.

Gu Lianshan recognized the old man's voice and turned to ask Gu Tang: "Did your grandfather go to the east wing?"
