Chapter 28 Feng's Plan
Gu Lianshan rolled his eyes at his daughter, "Make a fuss all night? How could your father be that stupid? Your grandfather and your grandmother, one is sick, the other is crying and wiping tears. If this fuss goes on all night, we will have to hold a funeral tomorrow!"
What you said!
Gu Tang twitched his lips: "You're talking about funeral matters so early in the morning. Don't you think it's taboo?"
"Your grandma doesn't mind the taboo, so daddy will be even less afraid!" Gu Lianshan pointed in the direction of the main hall and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that we wanted to split up the family? Daddy will make it clear to your grandma that from now on, whatever the eldest family has, our family must have, otherwise we will split up the family!"
"Will my grandma agree?"
"Of course your grandma didn't agree, so Dad told her that if she dared to mistreat our second branch like this again, Dad would divide the family even if it meant expelling the clan!
Your grandma and your grandpa were frightened on the spot, and Dad didn't pay any more attention to them. He came out to eat the cakes you left, and then took your brother back to the room to sleep. Your grandma and your grandpa didn't sleep all night, probably thinking about what Dad said. "
Gu Tang gave her father a thumbs up and said, "You should have been so tough a long time ago! Look at our family. The uncle and his son don't take care of things or take on responsibilities. One only knows how to study and the other only knows how to play.
My aunt and her two daughters were raised like ladies and young ladies. They never did any housework, let alone work outside. None of them even asked for a hand!
Now that my grandparents are getting old, aren't we the ones who support and take care of everything in this family? Logically, we should be the ones who are valued!"
Gu Lianshan nodded: "Dad has seen clearly what the situation is like in this family. Your grandfather and your grandmother know it clearly.
In the past, I pretended to be ignorant and only talked about your uncle's admission to high school, but in fact, your grandfather and your grandmother can't leave our family the most!"
"That's absolutely true!"
It was rare that her father could see clearly, so Gu Tang immediately gave him high praise and complimented her father so much that he was completely speechless.
After coaxing everyone into submission, Gu Tang went back to his room, got a torch, lit it on the stove, and left the Gu family holding the torch.
Just as Gu Tang left the yard, the half-closed door of the main room was creaked open. Gu Lian timidly stuck her head out and looked towards the kitchen.
"What are you looking at!" Feng scolded in a low voice behind the door, and stretched out her hand to pinch her back, "Why don't you go and talk to your parents! Let your parents follow that damn girl into the mountains together!"
"Oh..." Gu Lian responded timidly while enduring the pain, and hurried out of the main room and went to the east wing.
After watching the person enter the east wing, Feng closed the door, yawned, and went back to the inner room to say something to her husband.
Mr. Gu hasn't slept yet. He just scalded his feet and his whole body feels numb.
At this moment, he was leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and the annoyance in his heart overflowed from his entire old face.
Hearing the noise, Mr. Gu opened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Is everything done?"
"Don't worry, I'll let San Ya go back and tell the eldest brother's wife. You know that eldest brother's wife is a greedy person. Now we have her backing and she's in the mountains, so no one will know. She will definitely go!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Old Master Gu said yes three times in a row, shaking his hands. "It's not that we are cruel or biased, it's that Si Ya is too independent! She is a girl, and the money she earns should be handed over to the elders and used on the boys in the future. How can a girl manage money by herself?"
Feng agreed with this statement: "That's right! Not to mention unmarried girls managing money, even among the wives who have been married for many years, how many of them manage money at home?
Take our eldest daughter-in-law for example. She has been married to our family for so many years and has given birth to three daughters and boys. Now she manages the money? If she wants to manage the money, she must become a mother-in-law! Every family has gone through this, but the fourth daughter-in-law is the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on! "
Old Master Gu nodded: "Let her learn a lesson this time, maybe she will be more obedient in the future."
"Don't worry. No matter how powerful she is, she is still a girl. Sooner or later, she will realize how good her family is. It's almost dawn. Go to sleep for a while. The doctor told you to take medicine every day. Don't miss the time to take the medicine..."
Mrs. Feng muttered to herself as she made the bed and helped her husband lie down.
The quilt the old couple covered themselves with was not too thin, and they could add another one when it snowed. But when he touched the quilt, Grandpa Gu was still not satisfied.
He sighed and said, "I have lived for most of my life, buried up to my neck in dirt, but I have never worn a fur coat or covered myself with a fur blanket."
"What's the big deal?" Feng said without thinking as she took off her clothes, "When the eldest daughter-in-law is married, I will take down the fur coat and fur blanket in the fourth daughter's room and make you a fur coat."
Old Master Gu laughed immediately: "If that's the case, I'll die with a clear mind. Then, you and I will take turns wearing it. I'll enjoy it, but I can't let you continue to suffer."
These words made Feng feel very relieved, and she smiled and assured Mr. Gu that it would be possible.
After blowing out the oil lamp, the old couple went to sleep with sweet dreams, their minds full of scenes of themselves wearing fur coats.
…
Feng's prediction was correct. When Gu Lian told Wei about Feng's plan, Wei was indeed tempted.
She put on thick clothes and was about to go out to follow Gu Tang, but was stopped by Gu Liansheng.
The lawsuit two years ago is still fresh in Gu Liansheng's memory. When facing Gu Tang, he is not afraid, but becomes more cautious.
"It will be daybreak soon. You can't hide it from the second brother if you are not at home. Once it is exposed, the second brother will definitely suspect you. So, you can't go for this matter. Find someone else!"
Change someone?
Who to change?
Wei counted on her fingers and told Gu Liansheng: "My son must not be allowed to go. Only the two maids can go. Who else can go? The eldest girl is always sneaky and cunning. If you let her go, she will definitely sneak back halfway! The second girl is dumb and stupid. Are you sure to let her go?"
This question really stumped Gu Liansheng. He looked around and found that there was no one available in his room.
After much deliberation, the only person who could do this was Wei.
Wei thought of a way: "If the second son asks later, I will let Erya spread the word that I have caught a cold and fallen ill, and ask mother to help me shield myself. The second son will not suspect anything."
Gu Liansheng sighed, and finally nodded in agreement.
With her husband's approval, Wei took a scarf to cover half of her face, took a flint and a torch, and quietly left the house.
It was still dark, and the lights were on in the west wing. Taking advantage of the fact that no one came out at this moment, Wei tiptoed to open the gate and anxiously chased westward.
Before Gu Tang had gone far, Wei could clearly see her torch.
After walking in the dark for a while, Wei thought they were far away from Gu's house, so she bravely lit a torch with a flint, followed Gu Tang into the mountain, and walked far behind her.
When they reached the mountains, Wei quickened her pace, for she was afraid of losing Gu Tang.
My dears, please give me a monthly ticket~
