Chapter 73 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China (8)
"Mom, were you suing my father in court just now?"
Just when Gu Qingcheng had packed up and was about to take her children to eat something, Li Yaozong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
He raised his little head, his eyes flashing with uneasiness, "Dad, doesn't he want us anymore?"
In just a few days, Li Yaozong's world has undergone earth-shaking changes——
My mother was beaten, and both I and my mother were kicked out of the house.
Afterwards, his mother took him to the Yamen and knelt in the courtroom.
He understood some of what his mother said, but he couldn't understand some of it.
Then, my father went to court angrily and pointed at my mother's nose and cursed her.
Dad seemed really angry, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
Li Yaozong is young, but all children have keen intuition like small animals.
He felt that he was really abandoned by his father.
Although he has been growing up, the person closest to him has always been his mother.
But his father also loved him. At most, at most he was——
"It's not a lawsuit, it's just that my mother asked your father to divide the family in advance."
Gu Qingcheng could face troubles with confidence, but he couldn't be so "arrogant" when it came to Li Yaozong's innocent and trusting eyes.
She squatted down, put her hands on Li Yaozong's shoulders, looked at him levelly, and slowly said these words.
"Separation?"
Li Yaozong was stunned for a moment. He half understood and half was confused, "Are you going to separate the family for me and my eldest brother?"
From the moment he could remember, Li Yaozong heard what his mother said in his ear: "You are also your father's son, the legitimate son of the Li family, and the Li family's property is half of yours."
"Yao Zong, if you want to strive for success, you must be better than your elder brother!"
In fact, Li Yaozong met his eldest brother Li Yaozong once.
It was years ago that my eldest brother came back to get married.
They met only once, and the brothers didn't get along for long.
Because Li Jiye had been holding Li Yaozu's hand and talking to Li Yaozu intimately and attentively.
After seeing that scene, Li Yaozong had a clear feeling: Dad, he seems to like his eldest brother more.
He also vaguely understood why his mother always asked him to strive for success and make progress.
Dad likes my eldest brother. He is very powerful. He has gone to study abroad. I heard he is a great talent.
Li Yaozong had a concept in his young mind - only those who are promising will be liked by his father!
Therefore, he must also be as promising as his elder brother.
Oh no, no, he is more promising than his elder brother!
"Yes! You and your eldest brother are both your father's sons and can inherit the Li family's property."
"Now, Mom asked your father to divide the family for you and your eldest brother in advance."
"It's not that your father doesn't want you anymore, it's that you have become a man who has established himself in the family."
"Little man, you will support the family from now on, right?"
Gu Qingcheng said to Li Yaozong softly.
She couldn't lie to her children, but her actions in suing Li Jiye were not very honorable.
She could only change her words, hoping to make Li Yaozong understand.
Li Yaozong nodded vigorously, "Yes! I am a little man!"
The little guy's eyes were bright, and he said seriously, "Mom, don't worry, I will study hard, work hard, and study abroad when I grow up."
He will definitely be more promising than his eldest brother.
"Study abroad?"
Gu Qingcheng was a little stunned.
To be honest, she wasn't used to it.
In the era in which she lived, the Central Plains had always been the center of the world.
Even when the fight between the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the fiercest, those who competed in the world were always those who carried the truth behind their backs.
Those foreigners, tsk tsk, were basically the targets of military training for the Central Plains dynasty.
Especially in the era of Gu Qingcheng's husband, who ruled the world and had all the nations coming to court.
Many people are proud to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty.
There are also many people who admire the culture of the Central Plains and envy the prosperity of the Central Plains, so that princes and nobles come to study in the Central Plains.
...The Central Plains Dynasty at that time was the real boss and the center of the world.
After more than a thousand years, how come the situation has completely changed?
The people of the Republic of China actually took pride in studying abroad!
This made it difficult for Gu Qingcheng, who had always been a high-ranking citizen of the Celestial Empire, to accept it.
The original owner only read some books, and did not read history books in detail and systematically.
She doesn't know much about current affairs either.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng, who was originally an ancient aboriginal, did not have a clear understanding of the changes and changes in the feudal dynasty or the current situation, even if he accepted the memory of the original owner.
Gu Qingcheng secretly kept all this in mind.
She had just arrived and had too many things to deal with, so she had to take her time one by one.
"Don't rush to study abroad now, let's study hard first."
When Gu Qingcheng was pondering the matter secretly, he did not forget to communicate with Li Yaozong.
"good!"
Li Yaozong responded obediently, and the mother and son seemed to have reached a "consensus" - they had separated their families, and from now on Li Yaozong would be the man who established the family.
Gulu! Gulu!
Suddenly, a growling sound from the stomach interrupted the mother and son's conversation.
Gu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed.
After a day of hard work, neither this body nor Li Yaozong had eaten.
Now that the dust has finally settled, aren't the stomachs of mother and son starting to rebel?
"You're hungry! Come on, let's go eat!"
Gu Qingcheng covered her embarrassment with a smile. However, her smile affected the injury on her face, causing her to suck in air-conditioning from the pain.
Tsk, don’t slap people in the face.
When the original owner was beaten, the women who carried out the execution had some personal grudges in them.
They actually greeted the original owner fiercely in the face. Those women had the evil intention of disfiguring the original owner.
"Haosui, I exchanged attribute values for appearance. Even if the original owner's face is damaged, it cannot be damaged on my body!"
Gu Qingcheng just wants to be a stunning beauty. If there are injuries or flaws, then she is no longer a beauty.
She had paid so much, so she couldn't afford to lose money.
Huoshui: ...This person is a little obsessed with his pursuit of beauty.
"Don't worry, the system will adjust!"
Huoshui sighed and said helplessly.
"Huh! That's good!"
After hearing Huoshui's answer, Gu Qingcheng let it go for the time being.
With a pig-headed face and holding the hand of his fat son, Gu Qingcheng left the guest room and came to the lobby on the first floor.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for Gu Qingcheng to show up in public.
Others will look at you with suspicion and discuss it.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't mind the eyes of the world, but he doesn't want to be used as a talking point for nothing.
However, Gu Qingcheng was eager to understand this new world.
The lobby on the first floor, where people eat, drink tea, and chat... is the best place for news to circulate.
The inn chosen by Gu Qingcheng is the best in the county, and naturally has the highest grade and largest scale.
It was evening again at this time, and guests staying in the hotel, as well as some wealthy households in the county, would come to the lobby to have dinner.
Such a lively atmosphere is perfect for Gu Qingcheng to inquire about news.
She found a secluded corner and ordered a few dishes according to the tastes of the original owner and Li Yaozong.
The work in the store was quite knowledgeable, and when he saw Gu Qingcheng's bruised nose and face, he didn't look strange.
He quickly helped order and serve the dishes.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the table in front of Gu Qingcheng was filled with dishes and bowls.
"Yao Zong, eat quickly!"
Gu Qingcheng handed the chopsticks to Li Yaozong and picked him some vegetables.
"Um!"
Li Yaozong responded obediently, then put down his chopsticks and started eating.
Gu Qingcheng pricked her ears while eating.
There were four people sitting at the next table, like businessmen traveling from north to south. They were drinking and talking loudly.
They may also have the intention of showing off, and what they say is somewhat exaggerated.
The governor of some provincial capital has sent a message to the whole country again, and is going to fight in the north.
The textile factories built by the foreign devils use the best machines, and the cloth they weave is so good and cheap that the textile factories in the city are almost being squeezed to death.
what else……
Whether true or false, some truth can always be revealed.
What Gu Qingcheng has to do now is to extract the information he needs from this nonsense.
The guests at the other table seemed to be locals.
As they ate, they began to talk about the local news.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Well, they seem to be talking about the strange thing about Mrs. Gu's confession to her husband.
Huoshui hid in the depths of Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness, laughing so hard that he fell down, "Haha! I ate it myself. Executor, how do you feel?"
Eat melon?
What is this word?
It probably doesn't mean literally.
Based on the current situation, Gu Qingcheng guessed that eating melon should be synonymous with "watching the excitement"!
“It feels good!”
Gu Qingcheng has never lost when it comes to arguing with Huoshui.
"Feeling good?"
Fuguo actually choked, and his exaggerated laughter stopped abruptly, "What about, executor, didn't you hear what those people were talking about you?"
"You are said to be greedy and ridiculous for actually going to the Yamen to sue your husband."
"...those people would just say that you poisoned your husband, and you are the Republican version of Pan Jinlian!"
Pan Jinlian?
who is it?
But from Huoshui's tone, she must not be a good woman.
Of course, this "good" should be judged by men.
What the truth is, Gu Qingcheng needs to understand it himself and then make a judgment.
"It seems that there are too many things that I don't know, and I need to fill in these gaps as soon as possible!"
Gu Qingcheng was used to learning and enjoyed his erudition.
Coming to this new future life gave her a knowledge gap of more than a thousand years. This made Gu Qingcheng uncomfortable and at the same time aroused her fighting spirit.
Isn't it just fifteen hundred years? Isn't it an era that is unfamiliar to her? She will understand it one by one.
First, she had to buy some history books to supplement the historical knowledge of more than a thousand years.
Secondly, she also needs to get some newspapers. She needs to understand the official policies and the current situation.
Gu Qingcheng was eating, listening with open ears, and thinking hard at the same time.
After finishing the meal, Gu Qingcheng filled her stomach and learned some information she needed.
For example, in the Republic of China, there was no longer a Di newspaper, but a more popular and faster newspaper.
Gu Qingcheng went directly to the bookstore. After reading the catalog, he bought a lot of history books and old newspapers stocked by the boss.
"Hey! Aren't you that person?"
A rough male voice spoke.
