Chapter 25: Asking about that year

This man with a long tongue really likes to tell people off.

"Zhang Guangzong stayed in the town for half of last year. Do you know why?"

"Why? Say it quickly!"

After being pressed several times by everyone, the long-tongued man slowly told what he knew: "The Tofu Xishi at the east end of the town, the man who runs business outside all year round, do you know?"

"That woman has very seductive eyes. Is there any connection between her and Zhang Guangzong?"

The man with the long tongue nodded and said: "If it weren't for such a beauty, why would Zhang Guangzong stay in the town every day? If the man hadn't come back, Zhang Guangzong would probably still be in the gentle village."

Someone immediately raised questions and said, "Do you follow Zhang Guangzong every day? Otherwise, how would you know this?"

The man with the long tongue said: "Of course I don't follow him every day. I occasionally go to the town to deliver goods. Every time I pass by Dongtou, I can see Zhang Guangzong sneaking out of there!"

"Oh..." Everyone let out a long-sounding sigh. The man with the long tongue had reached this point, and they no longer had any doubts about what he said.

Gu Mingda did not participate in their discussion, but silently kept it in mind.

Mrs. Chen, who was bringing her children and grandchildren to buy wild boar meat, was also listening. At this time, her eyes were rolling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

A wild boar was cut up by a hunter and was quickly divided into pieces. The villagers got the wild boar meat and did not stay at Lao Gu's house longer. They left happily with the meat. Before leaving, they even kindly helped the old man. The Gu family cleaned up all the dirty floors.

When Gu Boss and Gu Laosan came back, they could only rely on the smell of blood in the air to confirm that they had indeed shot a wild boar.

The reactions of Boss Gu, Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni were not much different. At this time, they were beating their chests with hatred: "Second brother, if you ask for help, just help. How can you give up so many benefits! One pound of meat for each family... No, half a pound of meat It’s enough, how can you give so much!”

Mrs. Gu had a gloomy face. She was only focused on protecting Gu Mingda's face, and was not really willing to give up so much meat. She would also feel heartbroken when she was repeatedly reminded of her family's losses by the two men with a hammer.

"Okay, the meat has been divided. You two are in a good mood! Does this meat have anything to do with you?" Mrs. Gu scolded.

Although Liu Erni had just been punished by Mrs. Gu, now that she saw her man back, she immediately got excited again. She pulled Gu Laosan and began to instigate her more and more: "The wild boar was obviously killed by our father, so we really want to talk about it." It’s time for us to share the house equally, but the second brother is acting generous outside. He is using our father-in-law’s money to save his own face!”

Gu Laosan has always been soft-spoken, so he couldn't stand his wife's instigation. He immediately said: "Mom, since it is not our third brother's turn to be the master of the Gu family, it should not be the second brother's turn to be the master."

When Chen Chunhua heard such a powerful rebuttal, she suddenly became excited: "Yes, yes, yes! Mother always scolds our eldest and third bedrooms, and I have never heard you scold the second bedroom. You still say that you are not partial? This time, my second brother Jiang Ye The reason why the pork is distributed is not for our Gu family. From the beginning, the second brother went to the mountain to find a second wife and a few children! "

Mrs. Gu frowned. She didn't expect that one day she would be dismissed from the third room. But it was exactly as they said. This time, it was indeed Gu Mingda's private decision to let the whole family pay the bill.

Mrs. Gu never felt that she was a partial old lady, and she was racking her brains to think of words to defend herself.

At the critical moment, Father Gu stood up and said: "The wild boar... the wild boar was killed by Niu Niu..."

Everyone laughed when they heard this outrageous statement.

Chen Chunhua even said directly: "Dad, you still don't believe me when I say you are confused. How old is Niu Niu? She is so small and not as tall as a wild boar. How can she kill a wild boar? Even if you favor Niu Niu, you still have to be reasonable. , Why do you just open your mouth to say anything?"

Others nodded. Even Gu Mingda was doubting the authenticity of his father's words at this time.

Chen Chunhua still felt that it was not enough, and added: "Dad, please see clearly, Niuniu looks like a daughter at most, but she is not a real daughter..."

But this sentence ruined things.

Dad Gu, who was still sitting calmly, jumped up from his chair when he heard this and said anxiously: "Niuniu is Nannan! Nannan is Funannan, and Niuniu is Funuanniu! She is my child!"

As he yelled, he pulled his hair hard, twirled around in circles in a hurry, and kept saying these words.

When Mrs. Gu saw her man going crazy with anger, she immediately gave her eldest daughter-in-law a hard look and scolded her, "Shut up if you don't know how to speak! If you get mad at me, old man, I won't be done with you!" "

Being an angry father-in-law is considered a great act of unfilial piety. Even if Chen Chunhua is favored by her mother's family, once she carries such a reputation, the Chen family will be stabbed in the back in the future, and it will be difficult for her nieces to find a good husband.

Chen Chunhua later became frightened and couldn't help but hide behind Boss Gu.

Boss Gu wanted to step forward to help, but his mother pushed him away and refused to let him touch Dad Gu at all.

Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand to hold down the hand holding Mr. Gu's hair, and comforted her softly: "Old man, Niuniu is my daughter. No one can change this. Don't worry."

When Father Gu heard this, his turbid tears fell heavily, and he said vaguely: "How could I not recognize my child... My daughter is like this, she is so lucky, God wants to take her back..."

Mrs. Gu nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, our daughter is the luckiest little girl in the world."

Dad Gu continued: "The rabbit was killed by a collision, and the wild boar was also killed by a collision. They all died for Niu Niu..."

Gu Mingda keenly observed that after hearing his father say these words, his mother's hands paused and her expression became dazed for a moment.

Mrs. Gu looked at the children present. After hesitating for a moment, she pulled Mr. Gu into the house and said softly, "Old man, tell me how you met wild boars in the mountains..."

Gu Boss and Gu Laosan wanted to follow, but were stopped by Gu Mingda: "Let mother ask father carefully. If you don't trust mother, then bring the three children over."

Regarding the killing of wild boars in the Daqing Mountains, the first house and the third house held the three children and asked them for a long time. The conclusion they finally came to was not as outrageous as what Father Gu said, but it was indeed a big deal that fell from the sky.

"I called people into the mountain not only to find my three children, but also to find our father. Our father is so old and confused. What if there is something wrong in the mountain? Although the benefits I promised are somewhat There are many, but it is also to allow the villagers to work harder to find people.”

Once Gu Mingda wears the hat of "filial piety", the eldest and third eldest brothers can no longer accuse him of using the public property to show his generosity. After all, no one wants to be known as a person who doesn't care about his father's life or death.

Gu Mingda continued: "When I promised to share the pork, I didn't know it was a big wild boar that died. I thought it was just a little piglet. If I care about it, it will cause chaos. If you want to blame me, you should do it."

After taking the big hat, Gu Mingda said a few words of reflection.

He was left to speak the right and wrong words alone. No matter how dissatisfied the third and third bedrooms were, they could only keep it in their stomachs.

When the entire Gu family quieted down, Gu Mingda went to his mother in private and asked, "I used to study in a private school all year round and rarely got along with my little sister. Mom, you all said that my little sister died that year. Is there anything else involved?" Hidden secret?"
