"It's outrageous! It's so outrageous!"
"That's right, our Zhaojiazhuang is a place where rules are enforced."
"Yes! Find the clan leader. Go find the clan leader quickly. We can't let a widow of the Gu family be bullied like this!"
"Humph, I used to think that the old couple from the Zhao family were too partial and did not regard Guodong as their son. But now, look, they are not only partial, they are basically rotten at heart!"
"It's just a matter of controlling my daughter-in-law. She is a foreigner after all, but how can I treat my grandson so harshly? At least I can give my grandson something to eat!"
The villagers were very angry and discussed loudly while crowding Gu Qingcheng, mother and son to go to the old house.
Even the rather mean mother-in-law couldn't help but feel a little disdainful when she saw the "poor" looks of Zhao Qingyun and his two brothers.
Although they are also "people with a foreign surname", they claim that they have given birth to a son to their husband's family, and that means they are from their own family.
As for the daughter-in-law, they are not recognized by them.
However, it is okay to bully your daughter-in-law, but your grandson is your own family. How can you not even want your grandson?
The old couple from the Zhao family are really two old fools.
Zhao Qingyun: ...Although I feel something is not right, I feel inexplicably refreshed. What is going on?
If he didn't know his mother's "innocent" nature very well, he would have doubted whether his mother did it on purpose.
In the past, when he saw his mother being easily deceived and foolishly believing the lies of the so-called "family members", Zhao Qingyun was angry and anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything.
But now, my mother is still "innocent", but the person who was wronged has become an "enemy".
Zhao Qingyun, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, felt as if he had drank ice water in the dog days of summer, feeling refreshed from head to toe!
"Ms. Gu, what are you talking nonsense about? When did I bully you?" Mrs. Zhao saw the crowd of people outside the door, and her confidence was very low.
Especially the accusations from everyone just made Mrs. Zhao feel confused and confused.
It was only after listening to people talking nonsense that Mrs. Zhao realized that she had been slandered by Mr. Gu.
She was so angry that she jumped three feet high.
Wow, what a good Mr. Gu, who usually looks honest and easy to bully, but is actually a wilting and bad person.
The sky is blue and the sun is bright, oh no, it's dark now, but you can't tell lies with your eyes open.
What does it mean that the child is hungry, that there is no food at home, and that all the money is taken away by the mother-in-law?
What does this have to do with her, an old lady?
"Mother-in-law, you, you didn't bully me, you bullied me!"
Gu Qingcheng's eyes widened and she argued eagerly.
It's just that her body is too weak. Even if she speaks normally, in the eyes of others, she will be frightened and have to "lie".
"Look at Mrs. Gu, she is so pitiful, her face turned pale with fright!"
"No! Oh, just looking at her pitiful little appearance, you can tell how vicious this old Zhao family woman is!"
"I've told you a long time ago that this old woman from the Zhao family is a rotten heart, and she has no limits on her favoritism. She is even more of a good hand at training her daughter-in-law!"
"Old Mrs. Zhao, you really think you are a mother-in-law, the king of the mountain. Even if you want to train your daughter-in-law, you can't starve your grandson to death!"
"That's right, Zhao Guodong has just been buried, and the soil on the grave has not yet dried. Are you going to bully his wife and children like this?"
Everyone pointed at Mrs. Zhao and accused her.
Mrs. Zhao seemed to be the target of public criticism, but she herself felt extremely wronged.
No!
Although I really want to "get" Zhao Guodong's house and fields back, it's not like I haven't taken care of my grandson.
She and her wife had discussed it and "adopted" their two grandchildren to the eldest and second child respectively.
After raising him for a few years and marrying Qingyun and the others, he would be worthy of his dead third son.
As for the eldest son, the second son and the others have obtained the house and land of the third son, and their lives can be more comfortable, and the other grandchildren also have the house and money to marry a wife.
It's better than taking advantage of the Gu family and being an outsider.
If the Gu family remarries and takes away all the property left behind by their son, wouldn’t the Zhao family suffer a huge loss?!
She, she did this for the sake of the dead third child.
The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. The key point was that she really did not "bully" Gu.
At most, he just scolded her for being a fox and a loser, and wanted to marry her off as soon as possible.
But this is a normal operation for a country mother-in-law. How come she has become "evil"?
Mrs. Zhao felt that her body was too weak to bear such a heavy blame!
"Ms. Gu, when did I take your money?"
They did go to Zhao Guodong's courtyard just now, but they just had a cry and asked Gu to remarry as soon as possible.
As for money, rice, grain, etc., they didn't even reach out.
Ahem, it's not that they don't want to, but they feel that these are already meat in their bowl.
Sooner or later, it's all theirs.
If you act too eagerly, you will be criticized. They want money and face.
It's better to get rid of the Gu family and then "take" the two cubs back to the old house.
When the time comes, won't the family fortune that Zhao Guodong earned still fall into the hands of the three brothers?
"What's wrong! What happened again? What are you all doing around here?"
As soon as Mrs. Zhao asked this question, an old man in his fifties or sixties rushed over.
He is the patriarch of the Zhao family and one of the few educated people in the village.
He is knowledgeable and respects rules. Patriarch Zhao is fair in his conduct and has considerable prestige in Zhaojiazhuang.
He squeezed closer and saw that it was Mrs. Zhao who was "making trouble" again, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Zhao Dashan's family, what are you making trouble for?"
More than ten years ago, due to partiality, I separated my good third son.
It is said that it is a separation of families, but in fact it means that people are kicked out.
As an older generation, Patriarch Zhao vaguely knew why Mrs. Zhao was so partial.
When Zhao Guodong was born, his family's house collapsed. When Zhao Dashan was repairing the house, he accidentally broke his leg.
Some people in the village talked nonsense, saying that Zhao Guodong was a disaster star who could harm his father, his mother, and the whole family.
When she was about to give birth, Mrs. Zhao went to work in the fields and suddenly broke her head, which further confirmed the rumor.
In the years after Zhao Guodong was born, things always seemed to go wrong for the Zhao family.
Zhao Dashan and his wife believed the rumor that their third son was a disaster star, and they despised this son very much.
Zhao Guodong is not a silly child who is greedy for his parents' love.
Realizing that his parents were indifferent to him, he also became very "cold".
This makes some parents and elders dissatisfied.
They can dislike their sons, but they cannot be unfilial.
Zhao Dashan and his wife became increasingly disgusted with Zhao Guodong.
However, Zhao Guodong didn't care. He relied on himself and stumbling to grow up to the age of thirteen, when he offered to go to the city to become an apprentice.
Zhao Dashan and his wife didn't care at all. They didn't give any money or help.
With his own ability, Zhao Guodong actually found a job in a medical clinic and secretly learned some medical skills.
I returned to my hometown at the age of sixteen, went to the streets to see doctors, traveled over mountains and mountains to collect medicines, and started to build a family business bit by bit.
Later, he married a wife and had children. Although he was always discussed by others, his life was very nourishing.
Patriarch Zhao saw all this and was very optimistic about Zhao Guodong, the younger generation.
Especially when Zhao Guodong gave birth to a child prodigy son, patriarch Zhao saw hope.
They, Zhaojiazhuang, just have no future.
In such a big village, there is only one scholar.
If Zhao Qingyun is really smart and can pass the examination, Zhaojiazhuang will not be bullied by the surrounding villages in the future.
Patriarch Zhao and Zhao Guodong's grandfather are cousins, so their blood relationship is relatively close.
Zhao Guodong was promising, and his son was even more promising, so Patriarch Zhao was very willing to take care of their family.
In the past ten years, Zhao Dashan and his wife have often made trouble for Zhao Guodong's family, and it was just a small fight. If it went too far, the Zhao Guodong family would stand up and support Zhao Guodong.
...It's a pity that Zhao Guodong died like this.
Patriarch Zhao felt more heartbroken and regretful than Zhao Dashan, his biological father.
Seeing the tribesmen helping arrange Zhao Guodong's funeral, Chief Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.
He had just laid down and hadn't had much rest when he heard someone coming to report: "It's not good! Patriarch! It's not good, the old lady of the Zhao Dashan family is bullying the three Gus to death!"
Patriarch Zhao:...He really hates Zhao Dashan, this blind, bad and stupid couple.
If they weren't too cold-blooded, Zhao Guodong wouldn't have pushed himself so hard with the care of his parents and brothers.
If he didn't force himself, he might not risk going to the mountains to collect medicine, and he wouldn't—
What a promising junior, such a tragic death.
Whenever Patriarch Zhao thinks of those past events, his teeth itch with hatred.
As a result, before Patriarch Zhao could settle accounts with Zhao Dashan's family, they came to make trouble again.
Insulting and abusing the newly widowed daughter-in-law and biological grandson?
This is no longer a matter for Zhao Dashan's family, but for the reputation of the entire Zhao family.
If word spreads that the people in Zhaojiazhuang are too vicious to tolerate their own grandchildren, which villager will be willing to marry their daughter in the future?!
New and old grudges!
Patriarch Zhao almost filled up his anger, transformed into a fighting cock, and rushed directly to the Zhao family's old house!
Mrs. Zhao: ...The patriarch’s eyes are so scary, ugh, pitiful me, I’ll do anything.
"Gu! Tell the clan leader quickly, when did I take your money?"
Gu Qingcheng blinked and then started to clinch his fingers——
"On the seventh day after I got married, my husband went to the city to buy medicinal materials. You came to tell me that there was no rice for cooking at home, and asked me to borrow 200 copper coins."
"At the end of that year, my husband went to see a doctor. You told me that your family had no money for the New Year, so you borrowed five hundred copper coins from me."
"Nine years ago——"
"...Last month, you said that your eldest nephew was getting married and you couldn't collect the dowry gift, so I got you five taels of silver!"
In the past ten years, every year, every two or three months, Mrs. Zhao and the Zhao family's sisters-in-law would come to "borrow money."
Lin Lin finally calculated it, and it turned out to be as high as a hundred taels of silver.
The key is that Mr. Gu, who is the most "confused" in the eyes of everyone, actually remembers the accounts clearly, including the time, amount, etc.
Even Patriarch Zhao looked at Gu Qingcheng with a somewhat searching look.
Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to notice the strange looks from everyone.
After settling the accounts, she grinned like an innocent and foolish child, "It's all my husband who has taken care of the accounts. In fact, let me tell you, we are all a family, so there is no need to worry about these things!"
