Chapter 121 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (8)
When everyone heard that it was Zhao Guodong who kept the account, they all said "Oh": It's him, no wonder!
In the eyes of the villagers in Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Guodong is definitely a capable and successful person.
When I was a teenager, I was kicked out by my eccentric parents. They said they were separating the family, but they didn't even give me a copper.
I left Zhao's house almost naked.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be able to make ends meet, even if they didn't starve to death.
As for Zhao Guodong, he just relied on himself to build a large brick house and bought so many fields.
My life as a child is better than that of all the people in the Zhao family's old house put together!
Otherwise, Patriarch Zhao would not think that Zhao Guodong had any future.
Zhao Guodong is so powerful, but he married a confused daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to work or live.
Looking back on the past ten years or so, Zhao Guodong was always caught outside the family.
It seems that the Gu family is the housekeeper, but in fact, the entire family is in the hands of Zhao Guodong.
Not to mention anything else, a person like Zhao Guodong must remember clearly how much money he earns every day and how much his family spends.
The stupid daughter-in-law was deceived by her mother, sister-in-law, siblings, etc., and borrowed money casually.
Zhao Guodong didn't even need to ask, he would know just by looking at how much money his family was missing.
It is estimated that Zhao Guodong also regarded Zhao Dashan and Mrs. Zhao as his biological father and mother, and regarded the people in the old house as his own family, so he did not care.
"well!"
Patriarch Zhao also thought of this and couldn't help but sigh, "Sanlang is such a good boy, promising and filial, but you two are old fools and blind, and you drove such a good boy out!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't think so much.
She only cares about whether Mrs. Gu can restore her "innocence".
"Humph, let me tell you, I didn't run to get the money!"
Mrs. Zhao said angrily.
"You haven't taken it yet? You separated Saburo and separated him, so there are two families. As a result, in the past ten years, you have asked for more than one hundred taels of silver from the Gu family!"
In the crowd, someone couldn't stand it and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"That's right! I've never seen such a partial and greedy old woman like you!"
"No! If it weren't for my aunt who delivered the baby back then and confirmed that Zhao Sanlang is the son of the Zhao family, I would have suspected that Zhao Dashan and his wife were not the biological father and mother."
Everyone criticized and criticized Zhao Dashan and Mrs. Zhao again.
Zhao Dashan was still hiding in the yard, pretending that he did not exist.
But now, the clan leader came, and the villagers cursed him by name, so he couldn't continue to pretend to be ignorant.
Putting the cigarette pouch into his waistband, Zhao Dashan first scolded Mrs. Zhao, "You old woman, what are you messing around with?"
"I said at the beginning that Saburo has already separated into two families. You can't always trouble him. But you are disobedient-"
When Mrs. Zhao heard that her wife was scolding her, she immediately quit.
She frowned and stared with triangular eyes, "What happens if the family is separated? If the family is separated, then Zhao Guodong was not born to me?"
"Huh, they all crawled out of my intestines. I gave birth to him and raised him. Even if we separate, he still has to support me in my old age!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's discussion suddenly stopped.
Ahem, although Mrs. Zhao looks sarcastic, her words are also unreasonable.
But there is some truth in what she said.
After the family was divided, the son and his parents became two families.
However, a son whose family is separated cannot ignore his parents.
It is the rule of Zhaojiazhuang to give some pension money or food every year.
If parents are sick or need someone to take care of them, sons should do their best.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng waved her hands in a panic, "No! No!"
As soon as she uttered these words, her breath became a little unsteady.
He was coughing and coughing, as if he was going to cough up his lungs.
Tears flowed from his eyes involuntarily.
Gu Qingcheng looked pitiful.
Not to mention men, even women can't help but feel pity when they see him.
Gu Qingcheng coughed and said with difficulty: "My husband has never failed to support my parents-in-law in their old age. Every year, I give them two taels of silver and two pairs of clothes."
"The money borrowed by my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law is calculated separately! It is not money for retirement."
Perhaps she was too anxious, her face became paler and her thin body swayed even more.
Looking at her appearance, no one had any suspicion at all.
"Oh my god, you only get two taels of silver a year to make two new sets of clothes?"
"Zhao Guodong's pension money is in our Zhaojiazhuang. It's the first one in ten miles and eight villages."
"No! Oh, no wonder the patriarch said that Zhao Dashan and his wife were confused. Such a capable and filial son was kicked out right away!"
"Hmph, people like the Zhao family are really not greedy enough. Two taels of silver a year is not enough, so they go to 'borrow money' from time to time."
"Haha, it's bullshit to borrow money, just ask for it! Others borrowed money, but they have to pay it back. But Zhao Dashan's family has no rules to pay it back!"
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Zhao Dashan, who was being pointed at, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao who were hiding in the yard all showed expressions of shame and anger.
Well, they really saw that Mr. Gu was easy to deceive, so they kept coming to borrow money.
However, this kind of thing is consensual between you and me. The shrewd Zhao Guodong didn't say anything. What are the outsiders outside the door talking about?
"no no!"
Gu Qingcheng always intervenes at the most appropriate time.
"I'm not here to collect debts. We are all a family, and we should help each other!"
She still coughed and said.
That pitiful little appearance still reveals a little bit of "deep understanding of righteousness".
It is said that the elders like the most like a daughter-in-law who is sensible and treats her husband's family as a family instead of worrying about everyone for the sake of the small family.
"Although Mr. Gu is a little weak, he is still a virtuous and sensible person."
"Yes, Zhao Guodong used to be so cold and cold. He left as soon as he wanted. After returning to his hometown, he didn't get much close to his parents. But he still 'tacitly allowed' Gu to lend so much money to the old house. He was probably influenced by it.
Gu’s influence.”
"That's right! I also think that after Zhao Guodong got married, people became much softer!"
The world's requirements for wives are basically to "take care of their husbands and educate their children."
In the aspect of "becoming a husband", although Gu is not particularly outstanding, she has done it well.
At least after she came in, Zhao Guodong did not continue to be estranged from the old house, but instead got in touch with each other.
Zhao Qingyun: ...if you regard coming here to suck blood as a relationship between relatives, please do as much as you can.
"Auntie, please take care of yourself!"
Cursing in his heart, Zhao Qingyun did not ignore his mother's body.
He put his feet up, stretched out his hands, and tried his best to pat Gu Qingcheng's back.
"Auntie, take care of yourself~"
Zhao Qingsong followed suit and used his fists to beat his mother's back and waist hard.
The two children are not very young, but they are so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
Everyone's eyes glanced at the fair and handsome little faces of Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong, and they sighed for the nth time in their hearts: These two children are so good-looking, they don't look like country people at all.
Good-looking, smart, and so sensible!
Oops, this Mrs. Gu actually teaches her children so well, she is indeed worthy of a "good wife and mother".
Inexplicably, the useless daughter-in-law Gu, who was criticized the most by the villagers in the past, has become a good wife and mother in the eyes of everyone.
Even Patriarch Zhao nodded at Gu Qingcheng.
if--
Patriarch Zhao suddenly thought of something, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Gu Qingcheng spoke again, "My husband has gone, leaving only us orphans and widowed mothers."
"Others advise me to remarry, but I don't want to!"
"Firstly, I can't let go of my husband. Secondly, I can't let go of my children. Thirdly, I know that my parents-in-law, uncles, and sisters-in-law will help us!"
Having said this, Gu Qingcheng showed a weak smile, "Dad, mother-in-law, we are all a family, right?"
Zhao Dashan & Mrs. Zhao:......
Rao Shi and his wife are both top-notch people and have never regarded Zhao Guodong's family as their own family.
However, facing Gu's eyes that were so clear and trusting, they couldn't say a single bad word.
Bite the bullet, Zhao Dashan responded vaguely, "Yes!"
"I knew you wouldn't leave us alone!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled again, innocently and purely.
Everyone: ...You smile so beautifully, they can’t bear to tell her: Zhao Dashan’s family is just trying to trick you!
"I lent you money in the first place because we are a family!"
"Now that my husband is gone, it is not easy for us orphans and widowed mothers. I think you will take care of us as a family! Right?"
Gu Qingcheng continued.
Her meaning was very clear, she was not here to collect debts, but to renew her relationship with the "family members" of the old house.
Everyone in the Zhao family seemed to understand what Gu Qingcheng meant, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't come here to ask for money.
It is said that when they first went to Zhao Guodong's house to suck blood, they only had the idea of taking three poles if they had dates and no dates.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu was so easy to coax, as long as she smiled, cried or squeezed out a few tears, she would give her money.
I didn’t have much money at the time, so I spent all the money I “borrowed”.
Just listening to Gu's calculations one by one, everyone was shocked: My mother, I actually borrowed so much money.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house has a share, and the total debt is more than one hundred taels.
They were given to Zhao Dashan and his wife, Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Si and so on. Each small family actually had more than twenty taels.
It's more than twenty taels. Even if they were sold individually, they wouldn't be worth the money.
Now that the Gu family is a newly widowed family, Patriarch Zhao still values that little brat Zhao Qingyun.
Patriarch Zhao will definitely stand on the side of the Gu family, mother and son.
If Mr. Gu cries and insists on paying back the money from the family, Patriarch Zhao will definitely support it.
When the time comes, what will they get in return?
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu was stupid and believed the lies they told her.
"Haha, yes! We are family!"
"Brothers and sisters, don't worry, we will definitely help you!"
"Yes! Haha, yes, we are a family!"
Zhao Da and others expressed their opinions one after another, with smiles on their faces, but in their hearts they felt that they had taken advantage, and cursed Gu as a fool!
