After shaking it, Wu Haiyang took out a record and put it on. As soon as the needle was put on, it made a few crackling sounds and the sound recorded in the record was played out.
"What's going on in the room? This sounds like a phonograph, and this voice seems to be Gou Lijuan's voice."
"Oh my god, Wu Haiyang is holding a phonograph. He even brought a phonograph with him. This should be evidence."
"Shh, keep your voices down. I can't hear you clearly anymore. Listen carefully to what's going on inside."
The crowd outside the house chatted intensely for a few words, then quickly shut their mouths and listened carefully with their ears tilted.
Gu Xingzhou pointed at the phonograph and said, "Auntie, listen, this is your voice!"
The voice inside was very loud, and could be clearly heard by everyone in the room. The voice was long and there were many of them, with all kinds of curses. The words used by the owner of the voice to refuse to pay were different, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that every sentence was insulting, and every sentence meant that he would not give money.
Gou Lijuan was calm at first, but later became aggressive and rushed over like a madman, trying to snatch the phonograph and smash it.
He was so angry that he yelled, "No more, no more, turn it off, turn it off!"
They were all stopped by Gu Xingzhou and Wu Haiyang.
I just had to play all the sounds on the record.
The sound of the phonograph was very loud and the windows of the room were open, so the people outside could hear every word that was said on the phonograph, without missing a single one.
The onlookers were all silent. Through the voice in the video, they got to know a completely different Gou Lijuan, a Gou Lijuan they had never seen before.
"I really didn't expect that Gou Lijuan was such a vicious person. She disguised herself so well that you couldn't tell at all."
Not only were the people outside the house shocked by what they heard, but those inside the house who had not heard it before were also shocked.
Gou Lijuan fell to the ground, looking completely hopeless.
The only two words in my mind were "it's over".
Gu Xiao felt cold and frosty after hearing this.
"Gou Lijuan, this is what you told me, that you gave money to the child every month. I remember sometimes I asked you whether you gave money to the child, and you said that you gave more money to the child every month. Is this what you gave more? Where did the extra money go? Where did the money go? You didn't tell me."
"Xiao Shan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry,"
Gou Lijuan cried and knelt over, pulling the person aside and said:
"Listen to me, Xiaoshan, it's not that I don't want to give, I just can't afford it. Raising a child is very expensive, and we have to raise two children. There are places to spend money everywhere in the house. It's not that I don't want to give, it's just that the pressure is too great!"
"Stressed? Ha! You really know how to make excuses. Other families raising four or five children have to subsidize their elders, but you don't have to pay out subsidies and you only have to take care of two children. I also often eat in the army. So much money is spent by the three of you. Where did you spend it? Now you even have to worry about the money for the children."
Gu Xiaoshan was so angry that he laughed.
"You're still stressed? You still have the nerve to say you can't afford it? I give you 150 yuan every month to support the family. Tell me where you're stressed. Where can you spend so much money? It's enough to add your son together. Even when I first married you, my salary was not as high as it is now, I still gave you 100 yuan a month. And now you tell me this?"
"Do you not know money or numbers? Do you not know what a hundred dollars means? Or do you think I don't know how much you can spend in a month? Do you not know how much you can save? Do you really want me to tell you that number?"
"Don't treat me like a fool. Just because I don't care about you doesn't mean I don't know the numbers. Don't tell me these lies. There's not a single truth in your mouth. I think you really don't want to live like this anymore, right?"
Gu Xiaoshan covered his forehead with his hands, his head ached with anger. He also blamed himself for trusting her too much and letting her go too much over the years.
Yang Mumu quickly handed over the tea.
"Dad, sit down and have some tea. Don't be anxious. Calm down."
"Okay, thank you Mumu, good boy."
As Gu Xiaoshan drank the tea handed to him by Yang Mumu, he felt more and more guilty towards his son Gu Xingzhou.
Gou Lijuan's heart tightened because of Gu Xiaoshan's words, and she was absolutely reluctant to give up this good life.
She still had the title of commander's wife, her husband had a high salary, and she didn't have any poor relatives. Her relatives would send her good things from time to time, which helped her, her children, and her parents' family become rich and prestigious.
If she left Gu Xiaoshan, where would she find a man with such good conditions, and where would she live such a heavenly life.
After the thoughts passed through her mind, Gou Lijuan calmed down, her mind became clear, and she began to swallow her anger, humble herself, and try to speak nice things to people.
"Oh, Xiaoshan, don't be angry. Why would I use the child's money? I was just joking. I also kept the child's money there. I was worried that Xingzhou was too young and it would be unsafe to hold the money, so I deliberately didn't give it to him. I just wanted to save it for him and give it to him when he grows up."
She started to coax people with words, thinking that she had to coax the person into submission first. She had known Gu Xiaoshan's temper for so many years, and he would only respond to soft words and not hard ones.
Gou Lijuan brought the tea to him.
"Sit down and drink some water first. Don't be angry."
Gu Xiaoshan shook his hand away and did not take the water.
Gou Lijuan was not angry, and still had a smile on her face. She put the water on the table and continued to talk while holding her clothes:
"Xiao Shan, don't be angry. I haven't finished what I'm saying. I'm considering that the children will have to start their own families and careers when they grow up. My son needs money to marry a wife, and my daughter needs money for a dowry. So I save a portion of money for each child every month, that's why it's like this."
Oh my God, I'm so surprised. No wonder Gou Lijuan can be such a stepmother. She is so good at coaxing people and she can even act like a spoiled child even at her old age. It's a bit eye-catching!
Yang Mumu leaned on the side and continued to watch the situation, then turned her gaze to the person being pampered, Father Gu, to see how he would react.
If the father favors the stepmother, then the father can be discarded.
Gu Xiaoshan looked at Gou Lijuan with a half-smile, his eyes full of disbelief, "How much do you save for the child every month? Are you lying to me again?"
"How could I lie to you? I'm not lying to you. This is real. I'm saving 10 yuan for each child every month. I've been saving it since the beginning. It's a fixed amount every month. This is absolutely true. I promise. I swear."
Gou Lijuan raised her hand to assure.
"Okay, I believe you."
Gu Xiaoshan nodded, which made Gou Lijuan's smile more relaxed.
Gu Xingzhou's face turned cold, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Gu Xiaoshan stopped him with a look. He looked at Gou Lijuan with a little smile on his face and said:
"In that case, then take out the money you prepared for the child to start a family. Xingzhou is just starting a family and needs money right now.
If you save 10 yuan a month, that would be 1,800 yuan in 15 years, enough to buy some things for your children. Also, the salary that you saved for your child should be taken out and returned to him/her. There are many things to spend money on when you just get married, and you are an adult now, so you should have adult responsibilities and manage your own money. The elders should worry less about you. "
Gu Xiaoshan raised his chin and gestured to Gu Xingzhou, "Xingzhou, read out the price to your aunt so she can go get it."
Gou Lijuan's smile froze on her face, and she stared at him with her empty eyes in disbelief.
I want to slap myself a few times.
Gou Lijuan, Gou Lijuan, what are you doing! What kind of things have been done? ! Oops, I dug my own grave.
Gu Xingzhou walked forward with a smile in his eyes. Haha, he is still a good father.
He turned to the back of the account book, looked at the numbers on it, and slowly read them out to Gou Lijuan.
"Auntie, you need to pay me back a total of 5,873.49 yuan."
"What? So many? Are you kidding me?" Gou Lijuan yelled in shock, her eyes almost popping out.
