Chapter 77 Heartbroken
Both Gu Lao San and Gu Lao San were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't understand why the old lady was unhappy after the second son had paid.
No one was willing to contribute their personal money. Gu Laosan, who had little money, was the first to jump out and said:
"Mom, the second brother can raise enough money to take the exam without relying on the family. He is still a scholar. It doesn't matter if he pays you some medical money. The second brother doesn't think it's anything, so why do you have to be this evil person?"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately became unhappy and said: "The second brother is capable, so he deserves to pay for it alone? Are you uncomfortable if he is admitted to the scholar examination? Why didn't you study when he was admitted? According to you You deserve it, your brothers-in-law stole our formula! Who made his family poorer than ours, right?"
When mentioning the Liu family's brothers-in-law, Gu Laosan fell silent instantly.
Liu Erni, who was originally planning to help her husband, now looked like she did not dare to continue talking.
Chen Chunhua, the eldest daughter-in-law, does not dare to come forward because her mother-in-law is angry. Instead, she hides in the house, lying on the window and constantly looking out.
Compared to the three-bedroom couple who were there, there was only Mr. Gu in the big room in the courtyard at this time, which made it a little thin.
As the eldest son, Gu Boss should have been the pillar of the family, but Gu Mingda has always been too outstanding. Gu Mingda is more like the actual eldest son of the family than his eldest brother.
At this time, he said angrily: "Mom, our big house doesn't have much private money, and I still have three children."
Although Mrs. Gu had known that this would be the result, she had to say that she was still a little disappointed at this time. She pointed at her two sons and asked: "I am so deceived by lard, how could I raise you two unfilial things! If I had known I would have drowned you in a bucket of urine when I hit you!"
The mother's natural suppression of her sons caused the two sons to lower their heads at this time and did not dare to raise their heads for a long time.
Liu Erni, on the other hand, after making the big mistake of stealing the formula, she always felt that the matter would be over after a few scoldings from her family, so she whispered to Gu Laosan: "Who usually goes to town by carriage? Not even to the hospital. Dare you prescribe such expensive medicine..."
Although Mrs. Gu is not young, her ears are still very sharp. After hearing this, she immediately pointed at Mr. Gu's nose and scolded: "Listen to what your wife said! It's because I enjoy it too much! I don't even want to pay for any medicine. She is very generous to her mother-in-law!"
Gu Laosan quickly pulled Liu Erni and signaled her to stop talking.
Mrs. Gu scolded her for a long time. The two sons listened obediently to her scoldings, but they were in a state where money could not survive, so they just thought that the matter would be over after the old lady had finished venting her anger.
Countless times in the past, they had resolved conflicts with their parents this way.
But what they didn't know was that people's disappointment didn't burst out all at once, but accumulated bit by bit. The harder Mrs. Gu scolded, the colder her heart became.
She didn't think about asking her two sons to pay at first. Even Gu Mingda didn't care about medical expenses or transportation expenses, but the two sons made up their minds to spend nothing.
Older people have two things on their minds: the future of their children and grandchildren and their own retirement.
Looking at her now, Mrs. Gu feels more and more that she and her father Gu can't rely on them at all for their retirement.
After scolding too much, Mrs. Gu became bored, her voice became lower and lower, and she spoke less and less.
The two sons thought that this dispute was about to be resolved. Boss Gu helped Mrs. Gu go into the house and said, "Mom, you are not feeling well now. You need to rest more."
Mrs. Gu did not change her mind because of these soft words. She originally wanted to wait until the New Year before separating the family, but now looking at the appearance of her two sons, she sighed and said, "Our hearts are no longer in the same place, so there is no need to force them to stay together."
Boss Gu didn't know why and asked, "Mom, what did you say?"
Mrs. Gu's eyes passed over the people in the room one by one, and finally landed on her eldest son: "In a blink of an eye, your eldest son is about to get a wife."
She looked at Gu Laosan again and warned: "This wife of yours is a cheater. You should be careful in the future and don't let her empty out the house."
Liu Erni was still standing next to her. After being slapped with this label by Mrs. Gu, she immediately jumped up and said, "Mom, you have to speak with your conscience. I work hard for this family. There is no credit but hard work..."
Mrs. Gu’s killer sentence was: “Why can’t our tofu be sold?”
The old lady did not take advantage of the victory, but turned to her two sons and said: "Boss, you go to the Chen family tomorrow morning and invite your brother-in-law over. Second brother, you go and invite the clan leader tomorrow. Third brother, you go there." Liu family, let’s split up tomorrow afternoon.”
As soon as these words came out, it was almost the same as throwing a bomb into the room.
Usually, the eldest and the third bedroom always secretly say that the second bedroom has an advantage. They feel that it is too hard for them to work in the fields all day long, and they are not satisfied with the fact that the second bedroom and the couple are clean and refreshing all day long.
But in fact, the people in the two houses knew that although Gu Mingda did not work in the fields, he paid the most money to Mrs. Gu. He also bought meat every now and then, so the two houses actually took a big advantage.
A person who has repeatedly failed in exams is now admitted as a scholar. Even if he fails to pass the exam in the future, having a brother who is a scholar can take advantage. More importantly, if he does pass the exam, the whole family will be able to prosper together.
"Mom, okay, why are you suddenly proposing to split up the family? My second brother has just been admitted as a scholar, and he is proposing to split up the family. It won't sound good if this spreads out." Boss Gu said with a shy face.
Gu Laosan also echoed, and even pulled Gu Mingda: "Second brother, please say something, my mother is sick and confused, and we can't let the villagers laugh."
Gu Mingda glanced at them and said, "I'm going to the backyard to see dad."
When he returned home earlier, Gu's father was not at home, and then he was busy sending his mother to the town for medical treatment. He has not seen his father yet.
Gu Boss and Gu Laosan could only watch as Gu Mingda found an excuse to avoid this matter.
Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Mingda had made up her mind, and there was basically no room for rejection. She directly said to the two naughty sons: "The tree has big branches. It's better to separate them earlier. You don't need to persuade me anymore. This family must be here tomorrow." point."
The last thing the eldest family wants is to separate the family. According to the custom in the countryside, the father and mother follow the eldest family member. The old mother who is getting sick and the old father who is already confused. No one can handle this combination of parents who cannot help with work.
"Mom, who will you and dad follow after the family separation?" Boss Gu asked cautiously.
Although it is a pity that Gu Laosan has to separate the family at this time, his mentality is much more relaxed than that of Gu Laosan, because he is the youngest son, and no matter how the family is separated, his parents will not be divided between him.
Mrs. Gu did not answer directly, but asked: "Which of you wants to support me?"
