Chapter 124: Ruining the Reputation of the Girl of My Clan!
"Where do you start?" Gu Yuan was surprised, and hurriedly motioned for the Gao family to sit down, and he also sat opposite them, and said with a puzzled face, "Aunt Qi said slowly, don't worry." ”
Gao pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeve, made a faceless appearance, and said with shame: "His nephew, this matter, it's all mine, when I was young, I often heard that my stepmother was difficult to do, and I didn't take it seriously, but now I know that I am a stepmother, this sentence is really true!" ”
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, his words turned slightly in his heart, and he immediately understood that Gao's visit this time was related to Gu Shan's family.
When his thoughts were flipping, his daughter-in-law happened to come in to pour water, Gu Yuan hadn't drunk a sip of water since he came back from the field, and he was thirsty, so he took the bowl and drank two sips, and immediately put down the bowl and listened carefully to what Gao said.
Gao continued: "Patriarch, you also know that my stepson, how hard your brother's temperament is, he has always disliked me as a stepmother, and he doesn't have a good face for me, and I don't dare to say more than half a word. It's all my fault, it's me who didn't teach my son well. ”
Gu Yuan's face shook, and he picked up the bowl again and took two sips of water to hide his speechlessness.
No one in the clan knows how his brother lived back then, since the Gao family married in, he hasn't worn a new dress, all of them are picked up from the old clothes worn by his father.
As for the food, the Gao family's housekeeper just let him eat enough, regardless of whether the food is good or not.
So according to what he heard, he, the Gu Shan clan, couldn't eat one or two pieces of meat all year round, and he was afraid that he didn't have much oil and water in his stomach.
And Gu Shan's three younger brothers had eggs and meat to eat when they were young, and in addition, the Gao family also gave them a few copper plates from time to time, and let them buy a few snacks to eat.
In contrast, Gu Shan was as if he had picked it up from a ravine, and he didn't have a copper plate in his hand.
In fact, his seventh uncle's family is not difficult, there are forty acres of land, of which twenty acres are still exempt from grain tax.
In addition, there are some chickens and pigs at home to subsidize the family, and life is not bad at all.
Of course, it's hard to say how rich you are, but you can still do it by feeding your children meat a few times a month.
However, Gu Shan was stunned that he couldn't eat a few times before the separation, which shows how ruthless he is as a seventh aunt.
Gu Yuan felt a little unhappy when he thought that Gu Shan Touqi was still going to someone's house to make trouble, and the fact that she had earned some silver from Gu Shan's hands was exposed.
Now seeing her running over and crying to herself, Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, what she said later made Gu Yuan stunned, and his brows furrowed.
"Aunt Seven, don't worry, if you have anything to say slowly, the patriarch has always been fair, you also know this, if you have any grievances, just say it, the patriarch will make the decision for you, don't be sad, lest you cry and break your body."
The patriarch's daughter-in-law saw that her family was in a daze, and the seventh aunt was still wiping her tears to express her sadness, she quickly stood up and took over the conversation, and by the way, she also reminded Gu Yuan that he was still talking here, what was the daze!
Gu Yuan came back to his senses, coughed, straightened his face and said, "Where did Aunt Seventh just say?" Oh, my brother Gu Shan, what's wrong with him? ”
That's what he asked, but he kept muttering in his heart.
This person has been dead for more than three months, and everything is already in front of him, what is Aunt Seven crying about?
He also had this question, and his daughter-in-law, the patriarch and his wife both looked at Gao in confusion, waiting for what she was going to say next.
The Gao family had been whimpering and refusing to say it before, just to wait for the patriarch to answer.
Now that they asked, they replied: "His nephew, you also know, there are many things that my stepmother said that he did not listen, and he was disobedient to me when he was there, but now that he is gone, his children have also done some things to corrupt the family style, and I, the stepmother, really have no face to meet the ancestors." ”
This is the third time she has talked about the Gu family's ancestors, although Gu Yuan did not reply to this, but her heart is clear, she wants to give Gu Shan's family a high hat.
Gu Yuan glanced at his daughter-in-law, then sat upright, and said with a slight doubt: "What does it ruin the family style?" Is Aunt Seven talking about Huai'an and Changning? These two children are also considered to be the ones I have seen since I was a child, and they are not children who can do such outrageous things, Aunt Seven, is there any misunderstanding here? ”
Wu has been standing by Gao's side, and her mother-in-law has strictly ordered her not to speak, so she endured and endured.
Now that she heard Gu Yuan's questioning, her anger rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but answer: "What Brother said is unreasonable, what do you mean by not being a child who can do such an outrageous thing?" Could it be that Brother Cheng means that our family deserves to be stung? ”
Gu Yuan was stunned, his brows furrowed again, and he looked at Wu with some displeasure.
Where did she start with that?
As soon as Gao Shi heard her words, he knew that it was going to be bad, and he chuckled in his heart, and quickly turned his head and shouted angrily: "You idiot, don't shut up for me!" Now it's your mother-in-law talking to the patriarch, is there a place for you to interject?! ”
Wu shut up in disgust, but he was still unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
Gu Yuan and his daughter-in-law exchanged glances with each other, and they both felt a little embarrassed.
It is justifiable for this mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law, but it is not appropriate for her to reprimand her own daughter-in-law in someone else's house.
Gu Yuan is a man, and it is not easy to ask about such things, and these two are not the same as himself, so it is even more difficult to speak.
When the patriarch's daughter-in-law saw this, she could only answer by herself.
"Aunt Seven, don't be angry, this is a matter related to the face of the clan, and it is normal for my brother and daughter-in-law to be anxious, so don't reprimand her."
"Hmph, this time it's your sister-in-law who pleads for you, otherwise it's up to me to clean you up." Seeing that the other party sent the stairs, Gao also went down.
Wu stood aside with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and didn't dare to answer anymore.
As for what she thinks, only she knows.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan continued to take over the previous words, breaking the somewhat condensed atmosphere, and said, "Aunt Seventh just said that Brother An and Sister Ning did something to corrupt the family style? I don't know what it is, how could it involve Brother Yong'er? ”
"His nephew, don't listen to this ignorant woman, this matter has nothing to do with Ah Yong, what I said is purely about Gu Shan's family."
Hearing the words of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Gu Yuan and his wife frowned, then glanced at each other, and listened silently.
"A few days ago, that is, on the day of the Midyear Festival, it was originally an important festival to worship ancestors, Gu Changning actually didn't stay at home to help prepare for the affairs of ancestor worship, but ran out to play and was caught by a kidnapper, which can be said to have committed two crimes!"
“…… Two counts? Gu Yuan was stunned, looked at her and wondered.
"Yes, one of the charges is disrespecting the ancestors! The second is to behave frivolously and ruin the reputation of the family! ”
“……”
Gu Yuan and his wife glanced at each other again, and were shocked by Gao's words, and were speechless.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became a little silent, Gu Yuan was silent, still pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a far-fetched smile: "Seventh aunt...... I really love my children and grandchildren, and I am strict with everything I do, and my family style is very strict......"
This Gu Changning is not the eldest grandson, and the second is only eight years old, except for those who are particularly bad to their daughters, no adult will want an eight-year-old child to follow them.
Not to mention Gu Changning, it is Gu Yuan's own only son, Gu Feiyu, on the day of the Midyear Festival, he was just helping to hand over something or something, and basically didn't want him to do anything.
He himself followed the other brothers around the village, but he came back just before dinner, and nothing happened.
Gu Yuan expressed his opinion so vaguely, but Gao didn't hear the meaning here, just as if he was praising himself, he showed a slight smile, and said very smugly: "His nephew, you are polite, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, I have always been so strict with their brothers, not to mention Gu Song and the others, even the grandchildren below, they are all good, they know what to do and what not to do, and they will not cause chaos in the family." ”
Gu Yuan was really choked by his own saliva this time, coughed a few times before he eased up, and hurriedly drank a few more sips of water to suppress the shock, then looked at Gao and said with a dry smile: "Well, what my aunt said...... Very reasonable, reasonable......"
However, the corners of her mouth twitched and twitched, and I didn't know how to take her words.
Not to mention anything else, just her eldest grandson, who had fought with half of the boys in the village.
What will not cause chaos in the family, it is because once Gu Dayong is defeated or beaten hard, the Gao family and the Wu family will go directly to the door to make trouble.
If the other party still dared to fight back, the two of them cried and shouted that they would not leave in their own courtyard, and sat on the ground and cried to death until he, as the patriarch, came forward to ask for an explanation for them.
The Gu family has more than 100 people in Xinghua Village, and they are big clans, who dares to provoke him when he comes to the door, and in the end he can only apologize to the Gao family.
After a long time, no one is willing to provoke Gu Dayong, that is, the Gao family will not cause chaos in the family.
Gu Yuan wanted to sigh when he thought of this, and he wished that they would leave his yard as soon as they finished speaking, he was really afraid of the loud voices of the Gao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Gao Shi continued unconsciously at Gu Yuan's stiff expression: "His nephew, this disrespectful ancestor should have been locked up in the ancestral hall to face the wall for self-examination, not to mention that she also behaved frivolously and ruined the reputation of the girl of her clan, you see, what should I do?" ”
When he heard Gao's first sentence, Gu Yuan still smiled a little perfunctorily, looking careless.
When he reached the second sentence, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Shi in surprise, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "What does Aunt Seven mean by this?" What does it mean to 'ruin the reputation of a girl of your own kind'? ”
