Chapter 75： Talk about family affairs

Mrs. Gu seemed to realize something, stretched out her hand to pull Niuniu, and shook her head at the child.

Gu Mingda looked at her very disapprovingly and said: "Mom, if you have anything to say clearly to me in person, if you insist on hiding it, then I will just think that my sister-in-law is deliberately angry with you and disobeys you. , I will go to the Yamen to sue her now."

Gu Mingda deliberately made the matter serious. He didn't just say it and let it go. He got up on the spot and asked the coachman who was still waiting outside the door to drive to the county.

Mrs. Gu was anxious and said quickly: "Second brother! Second brother! Don't leave! I said!"

Gu Mingda stopped when he heard this and turned to look at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu finally said it, but she still couldn't help complaining: "My son doesn't look like a son, but he is like a living father."

Gu Mingda's face fell.

Mrs. Gu immediately smiled and said, "Let me put it bluntly, your sister-in-law is worried about her boss's marriage. She is afraid that the family will not have enough money to spend. I am also worried, and I fainted all of a sudden."

Gu Mingda lowered his face and said, "You can't even deceive a three-year-old child with your words."

He understands better than anyone else what I am thinking, and he also knows why I have to deliberately hide it from my sister-in-law even when I am getting to this point.

The old lady's heart is about brotherly harmony and family reunion. If anything happens, the old lady would rather be wronged than make trouble. Now that Gu Mingda is about to take the exam and her family has changed, she is even less willing to separate the family.

Gu Mingda looked at the other party at the scene: "Niuniu, tell me."

Niu Niu was caught between her father and her grandmother. She was very afraid that her words would cause conflicts between her father and her grandmother. The little girl had never experienced such things and looked at her grandmother hesitantly.

Mrs. Gu winked at the child crazily.

Gu Mingda directly led Niu Niu to his side, stretched out his two hands to support the sides of the little girl's head, so that the child could only look at him, and said, "Tell the truth to dad, what happened?"

Niu Niu wanted to turn her face to look at Mrs. Gu, but Gu Mingda held her face down and could not move.

"You can't see your grandma now, so you can only tell the truth to your father." Gu Mingda said.

Niu Niu sighed like an adult, she seemed to have no choice.

After hearing what happened next to the chicken coop, Gu Mingda frowned, wishing he could kill the fly.

"Mom, my sister-in-law said such stupid things, and you still have to hide it for her." Gu Mingda was very dissatisfied.

Mrs. Gu shrank her neck and said: "Your sister-in-law is a talkative person. She just has a short-sighted vision and cannot see the long term. In her heart, she treats Niuniu and Xiaoya the same. There is no difference."

Mrs. Gu's words are actually not adulterated. After all, in the eyes of Mrs. Gu, except for Gu Daya, the other girls in the family are indeed no different.

Gu Mingda could neither accept that his mother, who had worked hard all her life, was bullied by her sister-in-law, nor could he bear that his precious daughter was scolded like this, so he had already made a decision in his heart.

Mrs. Gu was not feeling well, so she still took a carriage on her way back. In the carriage, Mrs. Gu's kind words came out as if they were for free: "Second brother, don't say anything. This carriage ride is much smoother than an ox cart. My second brother is promising enough to allow my mother to enjoy this blessing. The happiest thing in my life is to have a good son like you.”

Gu Mingda was not fooled, but asked: "Mom, according to the doctor, you have been sulking at home for the past two months. Besides my sister-in-law, who else can make you feel angry?"

Mrs. Gu started pretending to be stupid again: "No, no one can offend me. I am the daughter of a scholar, no one dares to offend me."

Gu Mingda also knew how to deal with my mother. In order not to fall for her flattery, he said very simply: "Mom, what's the matter with you now? Why are you talking so weirdly?"

Mrs. Gu was heartbroken when she heard this, knowing that she couldn't be fooled. She finally became honest and her expression became serious, and said: "When a large family lives together, it is inevitable that they will stumble. Brother, you don't have to be too strict. Go online, mom and your dad are the heads of the family, even if we are angry, it’s because we can’t think about it ourselves.”

Gu Mingda took over the conversation: "Mom, the tree has big branches. Since they are crowded together, it is better to separate, so as not to make each other unhappy."

When Mrs. Gu heard the two words she was most afraid of, her expression turned ugly and she said, "You have just been admitted as a scholar and you are about to separate your family. If outsiders find out, they will think that you have become rich and they can't wait." If you want to kick your brother away, it won't do you any good."

Gu Mingda had obviously thought about it clearly and looked directly at Mrs. Gu with sincere eyes: "Mom, I'm not afraid of these bad reputations. I can ignore these gossips. I just hope that you can live a comfortable life. As long as you can avoid these idle thoughts, right? It’s more important to me than anything else.”

When Mrs. Gu heard what her son said, she felt so soft-hearted, but Gu Mingda was her son, and the other two were also her biological children.

She doesn't do that kind of thing where one son's money is used to subsidize the other two sons. The reason why she suppresses Gu Mingda and doesn't want to separate the family is that she just hopes that when the other two sons become confused, Gu Mingda is the only smart one in the family. A person can pull it.

Because her requirements were low, Gu Mingda laughed it off countless times in the past when the third and third bedrooms made mistakes.

"You are all my mother's children. I don't want to see you separate our families and fight for that little bit of property. From now on, I will listen to you on all the big and small things in the family, and my mother will also listen to you. Second brother, we won't separate our families." Okay?" Mrs. Gu said softly.

The old lady secretly hoped that her second son would take over and be the helmsman of the family, but her idea was doomed to fail.

"Mom, not to mention that the eldest brother is the eldest son. What would he think if he knew about this? Even the third child would not be happy. They would only think that you are partial and secretly gave us some huge benefits as a second wife." Gu Mingda said.

The old lady looked dejected when she heard this. She sat on the carriage and sighed, looking like she had been defeated.

Niu Niu couldn't quite understand the conversation between her grandmother and her father, and she didn't understand why this incident made her grandmother so uncomfortable. She could only gently snuggle up to the old lady's side, dig into her small purse, and take out a piece of candy. Come.

"Grandma eats sweets. Mom said eating sweet things will make you happy." Niu Niu said softly.

Faced with the comfort of her beloved granddaughter, Mrs. Gu reluctantly cheered up, put her hand on Niu Niu's shoulders, and hugged the child.

"Niuniu, your father insists on dividing the family, but grandma doesn't want to separate the family." Mrs. Gu said aggrievedly.

Hearing this, Niu Niu tilted her head and said, "Grandma, do you think Daddy did something wrong?"

Mrs. Gu suddenly became speechless.
