Chapter 509: Coming to the door overnight
Zhou Banxia knew that Gu Wenxuan's guess was correct as he listened to Mr. Tian and Mr. Tian who came to visit him all night, scolding his son and complaining in harmony.
"That's outrageous." Gu Erzhu listened silently, knowing that he didn't know the true purpose of his uncle and his elder brother, "But it is my eldest brother's fault.
It's not that my nephew is on my eldest brother's side. He is at fault. His fault is that his brother-in-law shouldn't let Er Gouzi help hide you two.
But according to what my cousins were talking about during the day, it was absolutely impossible for my eldest brother to have an affair with the widow and to deliberately give her to the two dogs for fear of being known.
He didn't have such a colorful heart. He didn't have it earlier, and now he's almost half a century old. He's a grandfather, so it's even less likely to have it.
Outsiders don't know it, but you don't know it. If there is, it's not my cousin's turn to come in. It's not like there weren't girls who were more handsome than my cousin back then.
My grandfather is the patriarch of the clan, and my eldest brother is my father's eldest son, and he is also a scholar. It is difficult to get rich and wealthy people, but it is not difficult to find someone with good looks.
Besides, although my mother had the final say in my family, my grandfather was still alive at that time. Even after he passed away, my father was still the head of the family.
My eldest brother has been my father's eye-catcher since he was a child. If he was not willing to marry his cousin, my mother would not be as stubborn as my father.
It was my eldest brother who fell in love with his cousin, and that's why our two families got closer. They were not matchmakers, they had a bond of affection.
So I dare to say that there is absolutely no way that my eldest brother will act recklessly outside, not to mention that Dalang is still in the city.
That girl is so beautiful, he wants to save face, and no matter how tempted he is, he won't do such ridiculous things as having sex with someone and then giving him to Ergouzi. ”
In the west wing, in the north study room closest to the main courtyard, Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other, her father-in-law/his father really dared to say that!
"Who is Er Gouzi? My direct cousin and my brother-in-law. Who else is closer than the two of them? For the sake of my eldest brother and Da Lang, Er Gouzi always finds trouble with me.
I’m not afraid of your jokes. I’m jealous of my eldest brother to death. Ergouzi has done so many immoral things for my eldest brother that I almost vomited blood——”
Old Man Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately interrupted: "Second son, I know that Ergouzi is ineffective. If I can't help you, I've scolded you and beaten you. You can't keep it in mind."
< br>
Gu Erzhu smiled bitterly, "Uncle, do you have to say this? After all, he is my biological cousin. His bones are broken but his tendons are still attached. Not for your and my aunt's sake, but because he is my mother's biological nephew. I I have to endure it.”
Study room in the west wing.
Looking at Zhou Banxia's eyes asking for answers, Gu Wenxuan nodded and whispered, "This is the truth. Apart from beating him a few times, our father treats Tian Er Gouzi as a clown."
"Besides, every time he plots against me, he plots against me not for outsiders, but for my eldest brother and my nephew. How can I hold grudges? I even have to help him say good things in front of his children.
Just like last time, he was so naive that he acted like a child and didn't understand. He even helped Da Lang calculate the dowries of my two daughters-in-law, which made my family Liu Lang very angry.
You know, my kid Rokuro has never liked to be serious with others since he was a child. He suffered a loss when he came to your house to pay New Year greetings when he was a child. At most, he just doesn't like it anymore. ”
Is this another rehash of old scores?
Mrs. Tian touched Mr. Tian with her elbow, and Mr. Tian glared at his wife. Why did he pretend that Erzhu didn't see her? He let out a long sigh.
Upon seeing this, Gu Erzhu didn't wait for Old Man Tian to call out "Second Brother" or "nephew", and quickly finished his words and spoke. "Think about it, this kid can forget that his cousin is an elder for a moment, and want to beat his cousin, how angry he must be?
It’s not me who says good things to my son, my mother-in-law and uncle, you two elders finally went to my nephew’s house to sit there, how dare I ask you to settle old scores or something?
I am a nephew because there are no outsiders at this moment, just the three of us. I want to complain to you and my aunt. There are some things that I have to hide even from my mother.
I said some words out loud, and I was afraid that my father would find it hard to be a good person even if he heard them. Er Gouzi, he is not only my biological cousin, he is my enemy.
Not to mention that my Erlang was told by his cousin not to go to school. Just because my Liulang has grown so old, I don’t know how many times my Liulang has been humiliated by his cousin.
But what I can do is help Ergouzi say good things in front of the child, saying that his cousin is an elder, that his cousin has a good heart, but it’s just his mouth that is bad..."
Gu Wenxuan overheard these words, rubbed Zhou Banxia's face, and whispered softly, "Don't bother listening anymore, our father is just rehashing old scores and hoping that they will retreat.
Mentioning that the eldest brother was told by Tian Ergouzi not to go to school, he was actually talking about the incident when Da Lang ran to the Tian family after hearing the master exaggerating that his brother was talented in reading.
At that time, Mr. Tian was worried that our family could only support one child to study, and since our father was the breadwinner, he lacked virtue and came to visit us while our father was not at home.
I don’t know exactly what you said, but I remember that your eldest grandpa just returned to the village to start a village school, and then your eldest brother went back to the village to study first.
When dad came back, I don’t know what he said. Even Dalang returned from the town to the village to study. After that, your uncle exaggerated that my brother was good at studying.
Old Man Tian was dishonest again, saying that his Tian family paid for Dalang to attend a private school in the county town, and they sang along with the old man and sent Gu Dalang to a private school run by Lin Xiucai.
As a result, the old uncle said that the old man Potian took out ten taels of silver and waited for the old man to hand it over to Shu Xiu. His wife immediately came to the door the next day and told his grandson that he wanted to go back to the old lady in person.
From then on, Mr. Tian rarely came to Qinghe Village to see girls. Instead, Tian Ergouzi often came to visit and the Xiaotian siblings ostracized my mother everywhere.
As for the old lady, it would naturally be more expensive for Dalang to go to the county town to study, so she was struggling to get money for food, and my mother had nothing to say about spending money to buy eggs.
My eldest brother and I told my father, and we quarreled and fussed, but my mother was still very angry. After that, my eldest brother fell in love with Dr. Dong.
He simply dropped out of school to study medicine with Dr. Dong. As soon as he discovered that he really liked collecting medicine and studying medicine, he always remembered that the old man and his wife would beg him to see a doctor sooner or later.
It was a very secondary idea, and he told me that when he mastered it, sooner or later he would grab some medicine so that no one could see it, and let them drink it, so that they could bully my mother. ”
Zhou Banxia covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Wenxuan was also amused when he mentioned this matter, "Secondly, I endorsed it faster than him. He probably wanted to give me the opportunity to study.
He felt that my younger brother was stupid, so he was better off studying without having to talk sweetly. He was worried to death when I dropped out of school, and he kept asking me what I could do if I didn't study.
I was at Uncle Ma's place, and he was already engaged to his sister-in-law at the time. It was he who told Uncle Ma that he would let me play for two years first, and then Uncle Ma persuaded my father not to force me. ”
"So Uncle Ma doesn't dare to take him into the deep mountains and forests, and he doesn't dare to teach you real kung fu. Is he afraid that you will become wild-minded and delay picking up the book?"
