Chapter 117 Shameless Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law
The surrounding area was inhabited by members of the Gu clan. Although the Gu clan chief's house was also a brick house, it was still somewhat dilapidated compared to Gu Qingshan's house.
Over the years, whenever any member of the Gu clan has encountered difficulties and sought help from the clan leader, the clan leader has never offered any assistance.
The families that helped them were either the Lin family, the Xu family, or the Sun family.
This made those who went to Gu Chenglin's house today fall into deep thought: Is this the protection of the family?
Did they receive any protection from their family?
Upon careful consideration, there really isn't one.
Just as Cheng Lin's family said, the position of patriarch of the Gu clan was actually given to Gu Qingshan's family.
What is the purpose of a clan? If members of one's own clan cannot receive protection from their own clan, then what is the point of having one?
At this moment, the surrounding noise subsided considerably.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yucheng knew what his father had done over the years, but his mother today…
Isn't that going a bit too far?
He began to waver.
"Mom, can we talk about this at home?"
When Gu Li heard her son's plea, she knew that her words today would provoke public outrage.
However, even with Gu Qingshan's family in such a state, the old man still insisted on going his own way.
What does she care about saving face?
Why bother saving face?
If I give Gu Yongliang any more face, my family will be completely ruined.
Does this mean she'll have to ask her in-laws for her grandson's tuition next year? And then, will her grandson's surname be Gu or Wang?
Since she's already made a scene, let her make it all the way.
She and her son tried to persuade him from inside the house, but he remained silent and pretended to be dead.
When Madam Ye said that her son had been framed, Gu Yongliang immediately stood up and wanted to convene a clan meeting.
Hehe, what's going on? She knew perfectly well.
The last time was because they wanted to expel Gu Chenglin from his clan, and that's how it happened.
Uncle Gu had already resigned from his position as elder because he had expelled Gu Chenglin from the clan. Although the others didn't say anything, they were also dissatisfied with him.
She and her son had repeatedly tried to persuade him to include Gu Chenglin's wife and children in the family genealogy, but he refused.
They said that Tian Xiaocao was bought by Gu Qingshan's family for one tael of silver.
What she bought was a marriage certificate, not a contract of servitude? Tian Xiaocao was not a slave.
She, a woman, knew this, but he, a clan leader, didn't?
Fine, if Tian Xiaocao won't write it, what about Gu Chenglin's son? He won't write it either.
In the matter of Gu Chenglin, he always stood on the side of Old Madam Ye and listened to her in everything.
Over the years, she had always wondered whose man Gu Yongliang really was.
The Gu family, comprising nearly two hundred households, how could they...?
Thinking of this, Gu Li felt even more resentment towards the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting on the ground.
Wang Shixiu helped her husband up. To be honest, she also wanted to leave, as her daughter had been raised by her own family for many years.
She rarely comes back, and her father-in-law has never mentioned it or asked about it.
After all these years of marriage, she only has two taels of silver in savings.
This money was secretly given to her by her mother and brother every time she visited her daughter.
Ever since her daughter went to her parents' home, she hasn't dared to go out, feeling uneasy about it.
Thinking of her son, she suppressed the thoughts that had just arisen within her.
Hearing the clan chief's wife's words, Granny Gu glared at her unhappily: "Granny Li, what do you mean? If your house needs repairs, then repair it! Who's stopping you? What does this have to do with my family?"
Ye Shilan echoed her mother-in-law, saying, "Your house is dilapidated, it's because your son is incompetent, what does it have to do with our family?"
The crowd...
How shameless!
Get cheap and sell well!
Why isn't the clan leader out yet?
Everyone glared angrily at Granny Gu and her daughter-in-law, thinking they were utterly shameless!
Hearing what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, Gu Li was so angry that she almost fainted several times. She pointed at them and said, "My house is dilapidated. Isn't it because Yu Cheng's father gave all the money to your family?"
If Yu Cheng's father hadn't secretly given you the money, would my family's house have been delayed for so long?
Tell me, how can this have nothing to do with your family?
Upon hearing this, Granny Gu stood up angrily, put her hands on her hips, and pointed at the clan chief's wife: "Granny Li, what do you mean? How come all your money was given to my family?"
When have I ever come to your house asking for money? Have I ever come to your house and asked for money? Or have I asked Yucheng's father for money?
Ye Shilan also stood up: "That's right, we haven't asked your family for a single penny. What does your family's lack of money have to do with my family?"
"Go find whoever took your money. Why are you blaming us when you have no money of your own?"
Onlookers...
Everyone was dumbfounded. What did this mean?
Some of the onlookers knew that they had seen Chief Gu give money to Granny Gu every time.
However, Granny Gu was right; she had indeed never asked the clan chief's family for money.
Every time Granny Gu came to the clan chief's house crying with her two daughters-in-law and youngest daughter, the clan chief would give her money on his own initiative.
What has the clan leader been doing all these years?
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law truly live up to their shared surname, Ye; they perfectly embody shamelessness, blaming others, distorting the truth, and utter brazenness.
admire!
I truly admire them to death.
When Gu Li heard this, she was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Yes, the person came to her door crying, crying that her son was unfilial, crying that there was no one to work in the fields, crying...
But she never mentioned money in her crying. Yet every time she cried, the old man would give her money, and Old Master Ye would leave with the money each time.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yucheng felt as if countless needles were pricking his heart, waves of pain washing over him.
This is what his father has earned through all these years of hard work!
Gu Yaohui hasn't even become the top scholar yet.
Judging from what they said, it was all because their father practically begged and pleaded with them to give it to them!
He felt like his father had been a joke all these years...
Gu Yongliang also heard what Granny Gu said, but he was only stunned for a moment and did not pay any attention to it.
He blamed everything on his wife, saying it was all her fault and why he was talking to those people about it.
Just as Wang Shixiu was about to persuade her mother-in-law to come inside, she saw her father-in-law come out.
Before they could speak, he saw the couple and shouted angrily, "Didn't we tell you to go and call the clan elders? What are you doing standing here?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yucheng's face darkened: "Father, are you determined to do this?"
Gu Yongliang stared at his son with dead fish eyes: "What did I do wrong?"
Gu Yucheng looked calmly at his father, pointed at the old lady and her daughter-in-law, and said, "Dad, we've done our best. Do you still want to take care of their family?"
Now the two of them stop crying when they see their father come out.
He didn't sit back down on the ground, acting as if nothing had happened, and instead started to laugh at the family.
Gu Yongliang roared, "You unfilial son, how dare you question your father?"
"Father, is our family about to fall apart?"
"Why are you telling me to leave? Do you still have relatives on your side? Let her go, I'd like to see where she can go."
Everyone...
Is the clan leader really determined?
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that Granny Gu and Ye Shilan were looking at Gu Yucheng and the clan chief's wife with schadenfreude.
Seeing this, the few sharp-eyed people couldn't help but shudder.
You ungrateful wretch!
Even killing someone is just a matter of beheading them!
When Gu Li heard her husband say this, the tears she had just stopped burst forth again. "Good, very good, excellent!"
She has no family to return to. Yes, she is old and has no parents. Her brothers also stop associating with her because of Gu Yongliang.
Well... she went to her daughter's house. Yes, she has a daughter.
Over the years, her daughter had been kicked out of the house by her father for helping this family. She had tried to persuade him to stay, but he hadn't returned home for two years.
Thinking of this, he pushed away his son and daughter-in-law's hands and turned to leave.
This time, no one stopped her. Wang Shixiu received a look from her husband and followed her mother-in-law away.
……
Dongfang Jin heard these words the next afternoon, when she and Gu Chenglin were working in her family's orchard.
Yang Zhu and Sun Xing came to help; Yang Zhu told them this.
Dongfang Jin asked curiously, "And then?"
I became curious about this eccentric mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, Granny Gu. Could there really be such shameless people in this world?
