Gu Xingzhou and Yang Mumu followed quietly behind.
Yang Mumu touched the account book in his pocket and felt extremely excited. He walked with a vigorous pace and a sense of joy.
Gu Xingzhou was thinking about what he was going to say and do next, with a slight smile on his face, looking forward to what was going to happen next.
Several people sped up at the same time.
When they arrived at the door of their house, the onlookers outside saw that the family was so harmonious and had smiles on their faces. It didn't look like they were making trouble, and it was certainly inconsistent with the rumors outside.
If it were them, they would have cursed each other and had a fight, so why are they buying food now and returning to the warm scene?
The onlookers hiding in the dark were puzzled and looked on with doubt. Few wanted to leave and decided to stay there to see what was going on.
On the other side, Wu Haiyang received the news that they had returned and went out with his things.
This is the Gu family.
"Please sit for a while. I'll go cook. The food will be ready soon." Gou Lijuan said to show her generosity and enthusiasm.
"Wait, the matter is not yet completely resolved, please come over and sit down."
Gu Xiaoshan didn't say anything. He just glanced at him and sat back on the sofa.
The smile on Gou Lijuan's face disappeared immediately. She hated Gu Xingzhou in her heart and felt a little panicked at the same time. She sat down and tried hard to recall what else happened.
Gu Xingzhou didn't care about other people's expressions. He pulled Yang Mumu to sit opposite him, looked at the time, calculated it in his mind, and then took out the receipt and continued:
"The work is done, now it's time to deal with other things. The note also contains the distribution of wages for the previous working time."
Gou Lijuan's face changed drastically, then she remembered something, and then she calmed down. She had an idea in her mind and there was not much fear in her eyes.
Gu Xingzhou saw everything and said without any worry:
"We agreed that you would give me six parts of your salary every month. Before, you didn't give me any money every month. I asked you for it but you didn't. Now I have a wife and a family. It's time to give me the salary for the past 15 years."
After he finished speaking, Yang Mumu took out the account book from her bag and handed it to Gu Xiaoshan with both hands.
"Dad, look, this is the account book. It records how much money Auntie paid each month in the past 15 years, and how much should be given to Xingzhou. It is written very clearly. The amount of money that should be given to Xingzhou is summarized every year, and the number at the end is the total."
Gou Lijuan was holding back her anger and clenched her hands tightly.
Damn Gu Xingzhou, he is as shrewd as his mother who died early. He even recorded her salary in the book.
Gu Xiaoshan was shocked as he flipped through the account book. He looked at Gou Lijuan sharply and asked in a deep voice, "You didn't give the money to Xingzhou?"
"Dad, it's true. I didn't get a penny. I haven't even seen a trace of the money."
At the same time, Gou Lijuan was so angry when she heard this that she couldn't help but blurt out swear words.
"You farted..."
When she was halfway through her words, her eyes met Gu Xiaoshan's and she stopped talking. She quickly suppressed the anger in her heart, calmed down her emotions, and waved her hand with a flattering smile.
"Xiao Shan, that's not true. This is a misunderstanding. How could I not have given it to you? I have given it all."
Gou Lijuan turned around and looked at Gu Xingzhou with a smile and said:
"Xingzhou, don't you remember? Auntie gave it to you, and gave it to you every month. How could you not remember? Auntie gave you your share every time when the salary was paid. Think about it again. How could I be the kind of person who didn't pay and didn't keep my promise?"
The tears on Gu Xingzhou's face came again and again, and he replied with grievance and stubbornness.
"Auntie, you really didn't give it to me. Am I wrongly accusing you? I haven't received a penny since I was a child. This is a fact. You took all the money and abused me. I didn't tell my father a word before. Now the explosion is also exposed by other people. You keep lying to people. Is it fun?"
"I said I gave it to you, Xingzhou, how could you lie to me and slander me for no reason?"
Gou Lijuan also started crying and yelling, accusing herself of giving the money.
"Xiao Shan, I feel wronged. People say it's hard to be a stepmother, but I really paid all the money according to what was written in the receipt. I didn't slander anyone like that. I feel bad!"
Gou Lijuan covered her face with her hands and sneered. What good would it do to have the account book? As long as she refused to admit it, what could anyone do to her? Was there any evidence to prove that she didn't give it?
Yang Mumu had already spotted Wu Haiyang at the door and whispered in Gu Xingzhou's ear, "The man is here, let's start the show."
"Well, quick victory."
Gu Xingzhou glanced at the door and shouted angrily to Gou Lijuan:
"What evidence do I have to prove that you didn't give me my salary? Every time I asked you for money, you would scold me first. Many times, you said that I couldn't get the money. You even threatened me with my mother's belongings every time and refused to give me money."
The onlookers in the dark outside the door instantly became alert and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"Yes, yes, yes, I can testify to this. I have known this many times because I was there and I still remember it clearly. I am a witness." Wu Haiyang walked in with something in a bag in his hand.
Gou Lijuan cursed and made a fuss:
"You and Gu Xingzhou are good brothers. You grew up together. You must have helped him lie and slander me. What kind of a witness are you? I said I gave it to him. I gave it all without missing a penny. Xingzhou, don't bring your brother to slander me. How can I, an elder, tolerate such a thing?"
Gu Xingzhou leaned comfortably on the sofa and smiled sarcastically: "Really? If human evidence doesn't work, then physical evidence will definitely work."
He won't cry until he sees the coffin.
Yang Mumu moved the water cup on the table to make room for Wu Haiyang.
"If Auntie insists on denying it, then we will convince her and see if it is my Xingzhou who is slandering you, or you who are slandering our Xingzhou."
Seeing how confident they were, Gou Lijuan felt a little worried, but after thinking back to what had happened in the past, she finally became convinced that they could not produce any substantial evidence.
"Look, if you can't produce evidence, you must apologize to me and tell everyone in the compound that everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. It's your fault. You misunderstood me."
Gu Xingzhou sneered: "Okay, I'll even put you in the newspaper when the time comes."
Wu Haiyang put the thing on the table, lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the big thing inside.
"Uncle Gu, look, the evidence is all here. This is my family's phonograph, and it contains all the words Aunt Gou said to Xingzhou in the past. You can hear all the words scolding Xingzhou, threatening Xingzhou, and refusing to pay back the money."
When Gou Lijuan saw the things on the table, she became a little panicked. She thought that she had never seen such a big thing in her memory, so she restrained her expression to prevent the other party from cheating her. Gu Xiaoshan glanced coldly at Gou Lijuan beside him, and understood everything again, "Haiyang, you do it."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll wind it up."
Wu Haiyang held the handle and shook it continuously. Every shake seemed to fall on Gou Lijuan's heart, making Gou Lijuan's heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
