Chapter 50: Retirement (2)
When Gu Heping did such a thing, Gu Xian no longer treated him as his younger brother. But there were still hidden dangers in this matter.
Gu Xian said, "Mom, if you drive him out, what will you do in the future?"
Adopting children is not only to continue the incense, but also to support the elderly and see them off.
After Qingshu said that to her, Mrs. Gu also seriously considered this matter. After thinking for a long time, she felt that Qingshu's proposal was feasible: "Aren't you going to Beijing next year? I have already thought about it and go to Beijing next year with you."
Gu Xian couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Old Mrs. Gu said, "Don't worry, I won't live with you, wait until you settle down. I'll buy a house next to your house. You can just come and have a look when you have time. If you don't have time, let a few children take turns to accompany me."
Gu Xian hesitated and said, "Mom, the winter in the imperial capital is very cold, I'm afraid your body can't stand it."
The weather varies greatly from north to south. Many southerners cannot go to the north. She is afraid that it will be even more unsuitable for the cold and dry weather there when she is old.
Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "My health is worse than you. Instead of worrying about me, it's better to worry about yourself."
Gu Xian asked tentatively after a silence: "Mom, can't you adopt a child from your second uncle's house?"
Old Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "It's not that I can't raise a relative no matter how I gave birth to it. Besides, I am now and I don't have the energy to raise children anymore."
After pausing, Old Mrs. Gu said deliberately with a discomfort: "Xian, if you think I am a burden and don't want me to follow me to the capital, then forget it."
Gu Xian felt uncomfortable when she saw her like this: "Mom, let's discuss this with your husband."
Old Mrs. Gu replied readily: "Okay."
There is an old saying that it is good to go all over the world with money but no money. Many officials cannot afford a house in the capital and have to rent a house. Lin Chengyu is qualified as a middle-aged and has no backing. Even if he passes the Jinshi exam, he just starts from the bottom. A small official has a low income, so his life is naturally not very good. She only has the benefits but no harm when she goes to the capital. How could Lin Chengyu refuse if he is not stupid?
When Gu Xian saw Qingshu, she pulled her and whispered: "Your grandma is in a bad mood these days, so you must stay with her."
It would be strange if you suffer such a blow.
Qingshu asked deliberately: "Mom, why don't you come back to spend a few days with grandma?"
Gu Xian shook her head and said, "You don't understand."
Gu Heping moved out and she came back to live. Outsiders would definitely think that she was encouraging her mother to drive Gu Heping out with the goal of obtaining the family property. Although she felt sorry for her mother, she had to think about her husband.
How could Qingshu not understand? He just regarded fame as more important than grandma. It was just because Gu Xian was pregnant and didn't want to say harsh words to make her unhappy.
After dinner, Gu Xian asked about the husband: "Mom, have you not found out about the husband's background for so long?"
Old Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry. It doesn't matter if Qingshu is two days late."
Gu Xian was not in a hurry. She just wanted to find some topics to divert Old Mrs. Gu's attention.
After talking to the old lady for a long time, she went back before the sun was about to set.
As a result, she saw Yuan and Xuan when she got home. Gu Xian asked with a calm face: "What are you here to do?"
Yuan smiled and said, "Xiaoxian! Your mother has some misunderstandings about peace, we hope you can help him."
"Yuan Shanniang cursed me and my mother as a doll. Gu Heping knew that my mother slandered Yuan Shanniang. Aunt Third, I have been raising a dog for more than ten years and still know that I can wag my tail with my owner. Gu Heping is not even as good as a dog."
Yuan Shanniang did such a vicious thing, and Gu Heping not only kept her from stopping, but also protected her. Gu Xian no longer treated him as a younger brother.
Yuan did not expect Gu Xian to say evil words: "Xiaoxian, Heping was also blinded by that bitch."
Gu Xian said with a cold face: "Aunt San, the bitch in your mouth is your niece, and you used the means to let her in."
After saying that, Gu Xian said, "Aunt San, I am tired and I need to rest. Please come back!"
Yuan saw Gu Xian enter the house and wanted to hold her.
Mother Chen quickly stopped her and said, "Three old ladies, please come back!"
Yuan shouted to Gu Xian's back: "Xiaoxian, I know you are very angry, but you have to think about your mother. She is so old that she will not even have someone to serve tea and water when she is sick in the future."
Mom Chen felt disgusted. How could no one take care of the old lady and the maids and mothers around her beside her be sick?
Gu Xian turned his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of my mother when she is sick."
Yuan quickly said, "What about your mother a hundred years later? Do you want to see your mother die and not even a person holding a spirit and throwing a basin?"
Gu Xian was furious: "After my mother a hundred years later, if Gu Heping dares not wear mourning clothes, I will go to the yamen to sue him."
Mother Chen drove the two out.
Xuan said in a panic: "Mom, I said I shouldn't come."
When she came, she said that Gu Xian couldn't help her brother-in-law. She was a mother and daughter, so how could Gu Xian help Gu Heping if Gu Heping did?
Yuan said viciously: "I just want to pass away peace and dream about it."
Xuan asked in a low voice: "Mom, what else can we do when we reach this point?"
The shop is in the hands of my aunt, and she can’t rob it if she doesn’t give it to me. Of course, she can’t rob it even if she goes to rob it.
"Lin Chengyu is a person who wants to take the scientific test. As long as we spread news that Tang's family came out peacefully to leave their property to Gu Xian, I believe Gu Xian will definitely not ignore it."
Yuan had already seen through Gu Xian. In Gu Xian's heart, her husband was the most important thing, and everything else was behind.
Xuan felt that this was probably useless, and she had another concern: "Mom, what if my aunt adopts a child from the second wife?"
"Your second aunt is so fond of face. As long as I say a few words, she will not adopt the child to the eldest house."
Xuan was still worried and said, "What if my aunt donated all the property?"
A few years ago, an old lady's only son died of illness, and those uncles wanted to occupy their property. The old lady was furious and donated all her property to the Sales Hospital. Not only did she get the benefits of her uncles and uncles, but she also lost her reputation.
Yuan didn't say anything anymore, but Old Mrs. Gu was so impatient that she could really kill her.
When he got home, Yuan asked the concierge: "Have you been back?"
Since the separation of the family, I have not seen the shadow of Mr. Gu San, and Yuan is in a state of anger.
Gu Heguang shook his head and said, "Not yet."
At this moment, the concierge came and replied that someone had sent a letter and said that it was written to Gu Heguang.
Gu Heguang was a little surprised, but after reading the letter, his face became ugly.
Yuan touched his head that was aching and asked, "What did the letter say?"
Gu Heguang didn't dare to look at Yuan's face, and lowered his head and said, "The letter said that my father raised a woman in Qianhe Street."
On this day, Yuan's body had reached its limit for Gu Heping's affairs. How could he bear this stimulation? He fell straight to the ground.
At night, Hua's mother told the old lady Gu about this: "Yuan fainted when she heard the news and hadn't woken up yet."
Old Mrs. Gu sneered: "If you have something to do, she will have no time to bother me and Xiaoxian."
Gu Laosan redeemed a Hua Niang from the building and placed it on Qianhe Street. She knew about this within a few days, but she and Yuan were as powerful as water and fire.
But now the Yuan family jumped up and down, Mrs. Gu was very annoyed and just exposed the matter. Only when the three families were in chaos could they hear the truth.
