Chapter 290 It’s a mess!
Li Shunzi looked at Gu Lianshan nervously, fearing that he would suddenly lose his temper.
Surprisingly, Gu Lianshan looked calm.
"I really don't understand. When I got married, it was all arranged by my family. I couldn't even say a word.
I can't compare to you, my cousin, who can make all the decisions on your own and have the final say on everything. You are also the one who can spend the money in this family as you wish."
Gu Liansheng frowned. Was he blaming his family for mistreating him?
Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, Gu Lianshan asked, "Talking about those days, I miss Grandpa and Grandma a little. My dad said they moved to the west room. I'd like to go check it out."
Gu Lianshan did not give Gu Liansheng a chance to refuse. While talking, he walked towards the west room.
Gu Liansheng did not stop him. When he saw him enter the west room, he didn't say anything. Instead, he felt a little expectant.
If the old man knew that the second son only gave a gift of ten copper coins, I wonder if he could force him to give more.
When I pushed open the door to the west room, the scent of sandalwood wafted into the room.
Gu Lianshan took a sniff and found the fragrance a bit pungent and too strong, not as elegant as the sandalwood scent in his daughter's hand.
After entering the house, Gu Lianshan glanced at the urine bucket in the corner and paused. No wonder the fragrance was so strong. It turned out that it was to cover up the odor.
After walking a few steps inside, I saw the old man lying on the bed and the old lady lying on the couch. There was a small stove between the beds and the firewood in it was almost burned out.
Both Mrs. Feng and Mr. Gu were awake at the moment, but Mrs. Feng was completely paralyzed. She couldn't even stretch her arms or legs, let alone sit up.
I can't speak. My neck could move two days ago, but it can't move in the past two days.
She had been facing Mr. Gu, and when she heard the noise, she could only "woohoo" to remind Mr. Gu to stand up and see who it was.
Mr. Gu is in better condition than Mrs. Feng. His legs and left arm are useless, but his right arm is still good and he can speak clearly.
He used his right arm, which was able to move, to support himself on the bed, and with great difficulty raised his upper body. His face turned pale as he looked towards the door. It turned out to be his second child?!
Old Master Gu's anger immediately flared up. He glared at Gu Lianshan fiercely, "You beast! What are you doing here?! You might as well wait until your mother and I are dead before coming back!"
Feng became excited when she heard this. The person coming was her second son?
Faced with the curse, Gu Lianshan was not angry. He looked calm, pulled over a low stool, and sat by the stove to warm himself by the fire.
While warming himself by the fire, he asked the old man, "Now that you and my mother are both paralyzed in bed, how are you doing? Is your eldest son taking good care of you?"
Mr. Gu: ...This is a deliberate stab to his heart!
Seeing the man with a dark face and not saying anything, Gu Lianshan understood.
Often, silence is tantamount to consent.
He looked at the old lady again, wanting to ask her some more questions and to touch her heart.
But who would have thought that he would be shocked by the old lady's current appearance!
"Hey, hello? What happened to you? Why are you so thin now?"
The originally plump face has now become so thin that only a dark and yellow skin is left!
Feng's face originally had a mean look to it, and now that she was thinner, her sour and mean look was frightening, and she looked a bit like a monkey with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
When Feng heard her son say that she had lost a lot of weight, she murmured several times. Unfortunately, Gu Lianshan couldn't hear what she was saying.
But judging from the look on her face, it wasn't something nice to say.
Gu Lianshan turned around and asked the old man, "What does that old lady mean by whining?"
"Your mother asks you what you are doing here!"
"Don't! The old lady is not my mother anymore, and you are not my father. We can talk, but we can't mess up the relationship between generations!"
"brute!"
Old Master Gu was so angry that he cursed again, and Mrs. Feng also whimpered twice.
Needless to say, these two woofs are also insults.
Gu Lianshan remained calm and continued to speak to himself, "It's written in black and white that I was adopted. The family tree has been changed, and the household registration has been changed. How can you deny it with just a few insults?"
Mr. Gu was so stunned that he couldn't speak.
It took a while for him to recover: "Did you come here today deliberately to irritate me?"
"Nonsense! Don't throw dirty water on me! I'm not here to piss you off. I'm here to pay my respects."
A gift?
Yes, today is the eldest brother’s wedding day.
Mr. Gu's expression softened and he asked, "How many gifts did you pay?"
"Ten coppers."
"What?" Mr. Gu thought he had misheard. "How much did you say just now?"
"Ten copper coins. Our two families aren't on good terms, so my gift of ten copper coins is quite generous."
"He's your elder brother! And you actually paid ten copper coins?! Aren't you afraid of outsiders stabbing you in the back?"
Old Master Gu was extremely angry and very dissatisfied with Gu Lianshan's gift of only ten copper coins.
With a sullen face, he sternly ordered, "Go back and bring five taels of silver! Give your elder brother a gift of five taels of silver. You don't need to record it in the gift account again, just record the ten copper coins. These five taels can be regarded as your private compensation..."
Before Mr. Gu finished speaking, Gu Lianshan had already stood up and walked out.
"Who told you to leave?! Come back here!"
Old Master Gu was furious and picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at Gu Lianshan's head.
Gu Lianshan quickly rushed out, causing the flying pillow to hit the door empty.
The four people sitting in the main room heard Mr. Gu's roar and looked at Gu Lianshan.
Gu Liansheng finally caught Gu Lianshan in public and immediately accused him, "Second brother! Dad is too sick to get up. The doctor warned us not to get angry anymore.
But you just wouldn't listen, and you've made him angry again! If something happens to your true qi, can you bear the consequences?!"
"Did I make him angry?"
Gu Lianshan was so angry that he almost laughed. "Your father asked me to give you five taels of silver as a gift! This is the first time I've seen such a shameless request. I can't do it, even if I have it!"
Gu Liansheng's eyes flickered: "Dad is ill and can't stand being bullied. You just obey him first and send the silver over first. I'll pay you back later..."
"Is the water in the tub outside covered by snow? Never mind, take off your pants and pee, then take a good look at your face."
Gu Lianshan interrupted him and started cursing, "You stupid bastard! You're looking at me like I don't know what you're thinking!
Bah! Be careful with me, don’t let me get the chance. If I do, I’ll cut off your hands and feet!”
Gu Liansheng's face turned pale, he was angry and scared.
He knew what kind of person Gu Lianshan was, and he also knew that he was not just talking, but he really intended to do so.
After cursing him, Gu Lianshan didn't want to pay any more attention to him. He tightened his clothes and walked out of the house.
He went to the corridor, picked up the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, put it on, and went home.
Watching Gu Lianshan leave, the four people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Gu Liansheng, he thought that Gu Lianshan would not come again after he left, so it saved a seat and a banquet.
Gu Lianshan returned home with difficulty after leaving Gu's house, and then told everyone in the family that the whole family would go to Gu's house at the end of the village for a big feast in a while!
Gu Tang didn't want to go: "I won't go. The snow on the road is too thick. I was almost exhausted after going out just now."
"Soon the snow won't be thick!"
Gu Lianshan told Gu Tang that the village was looking for someone to clean the road. He went back to the house to change clothes, took the wooden shovel at home, and went to the gate of the yard to start cleaning the road.
Gu Tang went out to take a look and saw that there were indeed many more people on the village road.
Agou was not idle either. He took another wooden shovel and dug a passage for people to walk through with Gu Lianshan, one heading west and the other heading east.
Clearing a narrow path through the thick snow is not an easy task.
Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an followed behind Agou and Gu Lianshan respectively, and brought them a cup of hot tea to warm them up from time to time.
After an unknown amount of time, the snow gradually subsided and the view could be seen farther. Agou suddenly stopped and signaled Gu Tang behind him to look east.
"What..." Gu Tang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
I saw dozens of people coming not far to the east!
Oh my god!
What's this for? Are you here to pick a fight with their village?!
"Let's go back and ask your father if he knows these people."
Agou protected Gu Tang and let her go first.
"Yes, yes, yes, my father has a wide network of contacts, he should know these people, I will go find him!"
Gu Tang turned around and ran back, heading west along the dug passage.
Agou followed right behind her.
"father!"
Gu Tang shouted at the top of his lungs, scaring Gu Lianshan!
"What's going on? Run slower, or you might fall!"
"It will be too late if we are slow! There are dozens of people coming to our village! They are all wrapped up tightly, and they look scary!"
Gu Lianshan's expression changed instantly: "Are you seeing right? Dozens of people?!"
"You're not mistaken! There's a huge crowd!"
"You two go home!"
Holding a wooden shovel, Gu Lianshan ran eastward with a sullen face.
Halfway through the journey, I met Agou and learned that Agou had also seen the group of people, so I decided to take him with me.
The group of people moved very fast. Before Gu Lianshan reached the village entrance, he saw a group of people entering the village from afar.
The crowd was so huge that Gu Lianshan felt very depressed.
His daughter was right, there were indeed dozens of people.
Gu Lianshan asked Agou to go to Gu Baoshan's house quickly and tell the clan leaders and elders what happened here.
Agou responded and ran quickly to Gu Baoshan's house.
Gu Lianshan held a wooden shovel in his hand, his eyes fixed on the crowd that was getting closer and closer.
As the crowd gradually approached, a young man suddenly emerged from the crowd.
He shouted at Gu Lianshan at the top of his voice: "Are you my cousin? I'm Changtian!"
"Changtian?" Gu Lianshan didn't know that Gu Changtian had been sent by the Gu clan leader to ask Guan's family to come to justice. He replied, "When did you leave the village? Who are these people behind you?"
As they were talking, Gu Changtian and his group had already arrived in front of Gu Lianshan.
When they got closer, the group took off the scarves on their faces and revealed their faces.
Gu Lianshan gasped—this is Guan’s family!!!
There were not only Guan's family members, but also dozens of people following them.
Now it's fun to watch.
Gu Baoshan is definitely going to get beaten today!
"Uncle, the clan leader asked me to invite the Guan family over. I'll take them to Uncle Baoshan's house first, and we'll talk later!"
"Go ahead!" Gu Lianshan nodded at him and took the initiative to walk into the snow cave to make way for them.
The leader of this group is the eldest brother of the Guan family, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth brothers of the Guan family.
The Guan brothers were all tall and strong, and with gloomy faces one after another, they looked ferocious and ferocious, which made people terrified.
Gu Lianshan felt something was wrong when he saw this scene. He sighed and thought that something was going to happen.
The Guan family brought so many people here and had no intention of ending this matter easily.
Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an did not return to the yard, but stood at the gate, looking at the crowd curiously.
The brother and sister didn't hear what her father and Gu Changtian said just now, and didn't know that these people were Guan's maternal family members.
The brother and sister just felt that these people looked too fierce and scary!
Not long after, Gu Lianshan came back from the east, and the brother and sister couldn't wait to ask about this.
"Where did those people who just passed by come from? They looked very hostile!"
"Guan's maternal family."
What the hell?!
"Guan's family?" The brother and sister looked shocked.
When did they notify the Guan family? They came so quickly!
Gu Lianshan explained: "After we left, the clan leader asked Changtian to find someone to inform the Guan family. Calculating the time, this is really fast!"
“Tsk tsk!”
Gu Tang gloated: "That wimp Gu Baoshan is definitely going to get beaten! With so many people here, just punch him one by one and send him down to accompany Aunt Guan and her daughter immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lianshan looked to the west and said, "Sanlang is back. I just asked him to go to Baoshan's house to inform the clan leader and the elders. Now the Guan family has also come in. I wonder if there was any fighting."
Gu Tang waited patiently for Ah Gou to come over, then asked him, "Did they fight?!"
"They beat him." Agou nodded. "Among the Guan family, there were several aunts and sisters-in-law. As soon as they entered the yard, the men grabbed Gu Baoshan and beat him, while the aunts and sisters held down the Jiang mother and daughter and beat them.
The courtyard is in chaos right now. When I came back, the clan leader specifically told me to ask you, uncle, to go over and help calm things down.”
If someone else asked him to take care of this matter, Gu Lianshan would definitely ignore it. But now that it was the clan leader who spoke, Gu Lianshan had to show up even if he was reluctant.
"I'll go right away. I'll go tell the old man first. Don't forget to take you guys to the banquet later."
As he said that, he looked at Gu Tang and said, "You go too! Dad gave me a gift of ten copper coins, and I must get it back with interest!"
Gu Tang: ...Ten copper coins?!
After Gu Lianshan returned to the courtyard, she sighed, "They must have pissed off Dad again, otherwise they wouldn't have let us get our money back with interest. I was thinking of going to watch the fun, but now I can't."
Agou calculated the time: "The banquet starts at 5 pm, and it's already past noon. Time is indeed tight, but it won't be a problem to go over and watch for 15 or 25 minutes. It won't miss the banquet time."
Gu Tang's eyes lit up: "Watching for fifteen minutes is fine."
When Gu Lianshan came out of the house, Gu Tang pestered him, saying that she wanted to go to Gu Baoshan's house together and she would be back in two quarters of an hour at most.
