Chapter 116 The Conflict Begins
As soon as she said that, someone else asked, "That's right, Gu Yaozong and Widow Zhao have been together for so many years, could it also be arranged by Gu Chenglin?"
Gu Chunlin's wife, Yao, said, "If you hadn't gone to find Gu Chenglin, would all this have happened?"
She went back to her parents' home to collect eggs today. She heard about this as soon as she entered the village, so she returned the eggs and came over.
This family is shameless; are they just jealous again?
As these people were saying this, no one noticed what happened when Granny Gu heard Gu Mingnian's wife say, "I even doubt if Chenglin is a piece of your flesh."
Granny Gu looked somewhat uneasy, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Ye Shilan disregarded everything else and also cried out, "Clan leader, my uncle must have been framed!"
It must be Fang Jin; those people today knew her.
"Chieftain, they must be retaliating against us. They can't stand to see our family doing well. You must stand up for us, Chieftain!"
Everyone was speechless...
It's true what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together."
Seeing that the clan chief still hadn't come out, Granny Gu felt a little annoyed and cried even louder: "Clan chief! Don't I know what that unfilial son is capable of? He's a jinx! It was all that jinx who instigated this."
Chieftain, you must drive that family out of the village! She's taking revenge on my son!
My poor son... my poor little daughter!
She's at the perfect age for marriage, and they've ruined her like that. How will she ever talk about marriage again?
The way they drew out those long notes was unpleasant to listen to.
Why does this crying sound different?
Gu Yucheng's resolve wavered slightly after being moved by the tears shed by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It turned out that those who made the revelations today actually knew Cheng Lin's family.
What he didn't know was that his father had already sat up, his eyes shining brightly.
Where was the ashen look on his face?
Just because Granny Gu said that her son was so young, he must have been led astray by someone...
Was he framed? Yes, how could he not have thought of that?
Yaohui is busy with his studies, so even if he goes to a brothel, it's just to relax. That's what men are like...
He thought so too, a jinx! Yes, Fang Jin, that jinx, it's all her fault.
Without her, he and his family wouldn't have suffered this disaster.
Without her, Gu Qingshan and his family would not have been ridiculed by the clan, causing him to lose his dignity as the clan leader in the village.
And that county magistrate, they all know that jinx, it must be her doing.
Gu Chenglin, that rebellious son, must still harbor resentment over the extermination of the clan. That's right, they are the ones taking revenge.
Dongfang Jin didn't know what he was saying. If she did, she would call him an old codger.
Let's give a round of applause to this brain-dead guy.
The head of a clan was completely manipulated by an old woman.
Gu Yaohui hasn't passed the exam yet. If he had, his family would be too selfish to care about you peasants.
Once Gu Yaohui gained power, he was the first to request to leave the clan. What could you do to him?
ignorance!
Gu Li glared at the old man, watching his constantly changing expression, and knew that he had listened to the nonsense of Gu Lao Ye Shi: "What are you doing?"
Gu Yongliang ignored his wife and pointed at his daughter-in-law: "Go and call all the clan elders to the house. I need to hold a meeting!"
Gu Yongliang's face was sinister, and his words were as cold as ice.
Gu Yucheng's wife, Wang Shixiu, looked disapproving when she heard this.
She knew that her father-in-law had been persuaded by the two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, once again.
But what could she do? She couldn't stop it. She sighed silently and could only go and call out.
Seeing his daughter-in-law leave, Gu Yongliang didn't notice the utter disappointment on his wife's face.
When Gu Li saw that the old man had perked up, and then saw her daughter-in-law leave the house, she was immediately struck by his spirits.
She got up, silently walked to the cabinet on the kang (heated brick bed), opened it, took out a bundle, and packed a few changes of clothes.
After packing up, getting off the kang (heated brick bed), and putting on his shoes, he didn't even glance at the person still calculating on the abacus. He picked up his bundle, slung it over his arm, and left.
Seeing his wife carrying a bundle and leaving, Gu Yongliang coldly rebuked her, "Li, what are you doing!"
When Gu Li heard him speak like that, she didn't answer him, didn't even look at him, put her hand on the door frame, closed her eyes, and walked away.
Gu Yongliang watched his wife walk out of the inner room and shouted coldly, "Li Shi! If you leave this room, never come back!"
When Gu Li heard him say that, she swayed slightly. This was the man she had lived with for most of her life!
Finally, fighting back tears, I walked into the courtyard.
Seeing the people gathered around her house, she walked past Granny Gu and her daughter-in-law, who were still wailing.
At this moment, someone noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly stopped the clan chief's wife.
Gu Yushan's wife hurried over and grabbed Gu Li's hand: "Second Aunt, what are you doing?"
Gu Yusong's wife followed along: "Second Aunt, where are you going?"
They were all from the clan chief's lineage, and their husbands were of the same generation as Gu Yucheng.
Upon seeing this, some of the younger members of the Gu family hurriedly called for people to chase after Gu Yucheng and his wife.
Fortunately, the couple hadn't gone far. They heard someone calling them, and then they heard that his mother was carrying a bundle and was about to leave home.
The couple disregarded everything and turned to run home.
Gu Yucheng saw several women dragging his mother over and knelt down, asking, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Wang Shixiu held her mother-in-law's hand, her eyes red, and said, "Mother-in-law, you can't leave. What will happen to the family if you leave? Your grandson loves your cooking the most."
After saying that, she started crying, wondering how their home had become like this.
After the uproar my mother-in-law made today, I'm afraid she'll never be treated with the same respect again.
“Auntie, what’s bothering you? Uncle is just like that, please be understanding.”
"Yes, Auntie, it's getting cold outside, where are you going?"
"No matter how bad Uncle is, he's doing it all for our clan, isn't he?"
"That's right, you're so magnanimous, haven't you managed to get by all these years?"
"Yes, no matter what else, Ping An can't do without you."
"For your grandson's sake, please go back."
When Gu Li thought of her grandson and saw her son kneeling, she could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
Looking at those people, she couldn't hold back anymore and choked out, "I can't live like this anymore. Look at this family, is it still a family?"
Seven or eight years, seven or eight years already!
Over the years, as the clan chief, he has used almost all of his family's savings to subsidize their family.
What did we get in return for tightening our belts?
My grandson also attends a private school. He earns his living expenses by selling our family's grain rations and by relying on his son and daughter-in-law's families for financial support!
After Gu Li finished speaking, she pointed to her house and said, "Look, everyone, look, my house needed to be repaired two years ago."
The money I painstakingly saved up was gone before I even had a chance to enjoy it.
But... but in the end? What did we get?
"That family, on the other hand, lives in a big brick house. Are they short of money?"
After she said that, everyone fell silent.
Yes.
Gu Qingshan's house is currently the best brick and tile house in the village. Where did the money come from?
People began to have doubts...
The women from the Gu family who were blocking her no longer had any intention of persuading her.
They were all members of the Gu clan, and the clan leader's wife said so, which made them feel good.
One of the women even took a few steps back and stood to the side, her meaning all too obvious to anyone.
She's from Gu Yuzhu's family. Her family is related to the Gu clan chief's family; her father-in-law and the clan chief share the same grandfather.
Two years ago, her youngest son was short one tael of silver to go to the private school. Her father-in-law and husband went to the clan head to borrow it, but the clan head refused. In the end, they went to Grandpa Xu's house to borrow it.
Those in the know noticed a change in how they looked at the clan chief's family.
It should be noted that the three walls were mostly occupied by members of the Gu family.
