Chapter 348 Regret 2
Gu Yongwen was very familiar with selling his daughter. As long as he could get enough money, he didn't care at all whether his daughter lived a happy life after being sold.
Although his wife sold their daughter once, that time she did it in order to become an official's wife, and her daughter was given to someone as a legitimate wife.
That’s right, in her mind, a fool’s legal wife is also a wife.
She didn't mind exchanging her daughter for money, nor did she mind letting Gu Hui become the second Gu Yongmei in the future, but she minded the age of the "buyer" chosen by Gu Jin and his wife for Gu Hui.
How long can a man in his forties continue to be Gu Hui's backer? What will happen to Gu Hui when he kicks his legs and enters the earth?
The concubine is involved in business. By then, not only will she not be able to continue to get money from her husband's family to support her own family, it will also be a mystery whether she can protect herself under the control of the legal wife.
Gu Yongwen's wife strongly opposed it, but Gu Jin and his wife and Gu Yongwen were all blinded by the temporary benefits and no one listened to her objection.
After experiencing these two events, getting engaged to a fool and being sold to an old man, Gu Hui had completely lost her heart towards her so-called relatives.
She hated them for ruining her life. After she entered that family, she treated her maternal family as dead. As a result, Gu Jin's family failed to get their second long-term meal ticket as they wished - the first one was Gu Yongmei, who had been sucked dry by them.
His family's life was getting worse and worse, but the second branch of the Gu family, which he had originally looked down upon, unexpectedly produced a juren.
Gu Jin could not accept this devastating fact, and neither could his wife and Gu Yongwen.
After hearing the news that Gu Wenhai had passed the imperial examination, his wife and Gu Yongwen started to talk about Gu Wenhai's ranking.
"His family still has the nerve to hold a banquet. They just got the last place in the exam by luck. I don't know what they are so proud of."
"That's right. They are so unlucky and still ranked so badly. Aren't they ashamed of themselves?"
The two of them said these words as if they were trying to cover up their own faults. Gu Jin listened in silence without refuting. I wonder if he was also deceiving himself with these words.
Gu Yongwen's wife sneered, "The last one is also a juren, and he is only sixteen years old!"
It's so funny. In her forty-plus years of life, this is the first time she's heard of someone passing the imperial examination, but being laughed at and looked down upon just because he's at the bottom of the list.
Don’t this mother and son who dream every day know how difficult it is to pass the imperial examination?
"So what if he's the last one? So what if he got on the list by luck? The last one is also a genuine scholar. Even if he got on the list by luck, he must have the luck."
"Unlike some people who don't have the knowledge or luck, but are unwilling to work hard to find a job."
The Gu Jin couple and Gu Yongwen were hit in the sore spot and their faces looked very ugly. Gu Jin's wife was so angry that she stood up and was about to beat her daughter-in-law.
However, her grandson immediately rushed to his mother and glared at his grandmother, and the family was about to get into a physical conflict.
Gu Jin, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't catch his breath and fell to the ground.
When he fell down, his family members stopped arguing and quickly called a doctor to check his pulse.
The doctor came, but he didn't even prescribe any medicine. He just told them to prepare for their funeral.
When Gu Jin died, his wife and children were not very sad. They just held a hasty funeral for him. Then his wife started to make trouble for his daughter-in-law.
His wife insisted that he was angered to death by his daughter-in-law's rude words. Gu Yongwen was also very dissatisfied with his wife for always saying things that made him unhappy. They both wanted to divorce her, and then Gu Yongwen would marry someone that both mother and son would be satisfied with.
But in the end, the mother and son did not accomplish this task, because Gu Yongwen's two sons still stood on their mother's side as always.
The two claimed that if their father divorced his wife, they would leave with their mother.
These two people have long harbored grudges against their grandparents and biological father.
The male who was supposed to be the head of the family not only had a bad reputation, but also had no proper income. The girls born in their family were either treated as long-term blood bags or sold for money.
There is no family with good conditions in all aspects willing to marry into a family like this that is rotten from the root.
But their grandparents and father had no self-awareness at all. When their mother wanted to choose hardworking and capable country girls as wives for them, the three of them refused to agree.
After the three men sold Gu Hui for money, their mother suggested that she could use a high betrothal gift to buy them two new wives who would satisfy the three men.
In her words, "Shouldn't you use the money you got from selling my daughter to marry my two sons?"
However, the three men found a bunch of high-sounding reasons to refuse. They would rather spend the money on food and clothing, or put it in boxes, than use it to arrange a marriage for them.
What's the point of saying that their family can't marry into a profit-driven family, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future? To put it bluntly, they just don't want to spend that money on them!
The two men, who have never been able to marry and have to watch their grandparents and father spending the family's money bit by bit every day, hate their grandparents and father very much.
They have realized that, apart from their mother, no one in this family cares about their future.
The two men threatened to leave with Gu Yongwen's wife. Gu Yongwen and his mother were surprised but not afraid. They even felt that it would be a good idea if all three of them left.
After all, if the family were free of these three burdens who only eat and don't earn money, their living conditions would definitely be better, and it would also be easier for Gu Yongwen to remarry.
Fearing that they would go back on their word, Gu Yongwen readily wrote a letter of divorce, intending to kick the three of them out of the house immediately.
However, when he wrote the divorce letter and gave it to his wife, she tore it up. She said she wanted a divorce certificate and also proposed that it must be stated in the divorce certificate that the two sons would belong to her in the future and she would no longer have any relationship with Gu Yongwen and his mother.
Gu Yongwen was anxious to kick out his unvirtuous and unfilial wife and his disobedient and unfilial son. Although the other party was arrogant, Gu Yongwen rarely did not scold them.
He wrote the divorce letter as requested by the other party, but unexpectedly the other party snatched away all the silver and money locked in the box by his mother before leaving.
Gu Yongwen’s ex-wife said that the money was earned by selling her daughter and should belong to her.
It was three against two. His ex-wife was stronger than his mother, and he could not deal with his two young and strong sons. The two of them were tied up, gagged, and locked in the woodshed by the mother and her two sons.
After dealing with the two of them, the mother and her two children packed up their gold and silver valuables, took out the travel passes and bags that they had prepared at some point, and left in a clean and neat manner.
