Chapter 45 Filial piety or not, it has nothing to do with me
After hearing what her father said, Gu Tang grinned even more happily: "I know about this. I heard my mother say a few words about it before. I thought it was a joke, but now it seems to be true.
Grandma, don't worry, I will follow your rules! I swear in front of you today that if I give the money I earn to the government, my whole family will die miserably!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the yard suddenly became quiet.
Feng felt a surge of anger stuck in her heart, which made her feel stuffy and painful!
She looked at Gu Tang with a sinister look, as if she wanted to eat Gu Tang alive!
Just as he was about to explode, his wife behind him suddenly coughed twice.
Feng paused, trying hard not to lose her temper.
Old Master Gu came out from behind Feng and was about to speak when he saw Gu Lianshan gently push Gu Tang, winking at her and pretending to be angry and scolding her.
"You are just a kid, how can you say such a thing without thinking! Can you make a vow casually? Your grandma and grandpa are old, what if one day they become confused and shamelessly ask you for money? Will you give it to them or not?
If you give it to me, no matter who gets into trouble in the future, my little one will definitely blame your grandma and your grandpa! If you don’t give it to me, your grandma and your grandpa will definitely scold you for being unfilial! "
Gu Tang was not happy with this: "I am a grandson, you and my uncle are still alive, it has nothing to do with me when it comes to filial piety!
Besides, I am a girl. As my grandmother said, all the girls in my family are not from the Gu family. Sooner or later, they will marry into other families. So the word "filial piety" is even less applicable to me. "
Tsk tsk, what you said!
Gu Lianshan secretly glanced at the old man, and his face darkened visibly.
His mother too, her old face was so distorted that it was unbearable to look at. Anyone who was timid would have nightmares after taking one look at it!
Clearing his throat, Gu Lianshan told Gu Tang to go back to the house quickly: "It's very cold, go back to the house to warm up. Unless the head of the family dies, otherwise, whether it is filial or not, it will never fall on you girls..."
The two elders of the Gu family were very angry at their son's words. What did they mean by "all the pillars of the family are dead"? He himself was also the pillar of the family!
Is there anyone who curses himself like this?
Feng opened her mouth to curse, but was stopped by Mr. Gu again and pulled back to the main room.
Entering the main hall, Feng immediately turned her face away: "My son scolded me to death in front of me! And you still want me to endure it?!"
"What can you do even if you can't bear it? If you make a fuss, your son will only become more alienated from you." Old Man Gu glanced at her.
Feng paused, and suddenly she was overwhelmed with grief, her eyes turned red.
Old Master Gu sighed: "I know you are angry, but no matter how angry you are, the logic behind my son's words is just that reasonable."
What he said just now was aimed at them, so no matter how angry he was, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"Throughout the ages, filial piety or not has really nothing to do with girls, especially when there are boys in the family. Being filial to parents is all the responsibility of the boys!"
"Let alone a girl of our grandchildren's generation, even if it's our own daughter, filial piety has little to do with her."
"As the saying goes, 'A married girl is like spilled water.' It has been like this for thousands of years. You want to use filial piety to pressure Si Ya, but that won't work."
Feng wiped her eyes and said unwillingly, "So let's just let it go? I heard from Erya that the sheep yesterday was fat and big. It can definitely be sold for three taels of silver, not to mention the price!
And the deer just now! Even if I am not very knowledgeable, I know that a deer that big, still alive, can be sold for at least a hundred taels if it is sent to that rich man's house!"
Hearing the number reported by his wife, Mr. Gu breathed heavily, his drooped eyelids hiding the greed in his eyes, but he looked unmoved.
Feng said, "Let's not worry about the sheep, let's just talk about the deer. If we get this hundred taels of silver, our family will have a lot more money.
Let's not talk about anything else. Just use half of it to buy a small courtyard in Bei'an City and let the eldest son and his son move in. It's close to the academy there, so let Tianbao concentrate and study hard for a few years. Why worry about not being able to pass the imperial examination?"
What Feng could think of, Mr. Gu could also think of. The only obstacle was the second son's father and daughter.
"Didn't you hear what Lao Er just said? Lao Er said that if you make him angry, he can go to the government office again!"
"Evil creature! If I had known that he would be so unfilial now, I should have thrown him into the urinal and drowned him when I gave birth to him!" Feng cursed viciously with red eyes.
"Okay, let's not worry about this for now."
"No matter?" Feng's voice became louder again.
Old Master Gu glared at her and whispered, "The second son knows a lot of people. If he takes the lead in selling the deer, the price will only be higher, not lower! When the father and daughter sell the deer, no matter who holds the silver, it will eventually enter the Gu family. By then, will you still worry about not finding a chance to ask for the silver?"
Mrs. Feng thought for a while and soon understood what her husband meant.
The frustration in my heart immediately eased a little.
Outside the house, Gu Tang was also asking her father in a low voice.
"This is unlike the old couple's temperament? They just left like that? Why do I feel a little scared?"
Gu Lianshan nodded: "A barking dog is not scary, but a silent dog is scary!"
Gu Tang: ...No, the "dog" you are talking about is your parents! Dear ones!
"What are you looking at? Dad is just giving an example!" Gu Lianshan glanced at his daughter, turned his head and excitedly touched the deer.
Gu Tang: "...your analogy is so apt! I should have let you go to school. With your literary talent, it would be no problem for you to become a juren or jinshi!"
"Stop flattering your father! Don't I know my own worth? Hurry up and lead the deer into the house!"
"Bring it into the house?!" Gu Tang's eyes widened. "This deer needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate! If it is brought into the house, will the house still be safe for people?"
"Why can't I stay? In order to nourish you and Ping An, Dad bought a hen and kept it in his room. I can pick up the eggs she laid. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to eat the eggshells, let alone the eggs!"
Gu Tang paused. Well, she was quite touched, but it still didn’t work!
She handed the rope in her hand over: "Don't lead it into my room! If you want to lead it, lead it into your room!"
Gu Lianshan had no objection. It was exactly what he wanted to be led into the room.
He would not feel comfortable leaving such a rare live deer in anyone else's house. He would only feel at ease if he kept it under his own nose.
After removing the sack from the deer's back and moving it to the west wing corridor, Gu Lianshan tried to pull the rope to make the deer follow him.
The docile moose did not become irritable because of the change of people. Its temper remained very good and it followed Gu Lianshan into the house.
Gu Tang followed to the door, and seeing that the man and the deer were getting along well, he returned to the house with peace of mind.
After unlocking the door and dragging the sacks from the corridor back into the house, Gu Tang habitually shouted outside: "Ping An! Come and help!"
