Chapter 118 God Opens His Eyes
Gu Yongmei is two years older than Gu Yongming. Before she got married, she often coaxed Gu Yongming to share various delicious foods with her in private.
Gu Yongming felt sorry for her because she was not as favored as Gu Yongwen in the first house, and could only pick up what Gu Yongwen left behind, so he took special care of her since she was a child.
When she got married, she wanted to take away some rabbit skins from home to make herself look good, but Old Man Gu, Gu Jin, and Gu Jin's wife all disagreed. She begged Gu Yongming to plead for her.
Gu Yongming did not make such a futile attempt. Although he had saved those rabbit skins from hunting, since they were already in his grandfather's hands, his grandfather would never let Gu Yongming have the opportunity to control them.
In order to let his cousin marry in a decent manner, Gu Yongming went out hunting early in the morning and went to bed late. In addition to the portion that he had to give back to his family, he also prepared an extra portion to take to the town to exchange for things.
He worked hard to get the rabbit fur that Gu Yongmei wanted and the beautiful red cloth that had just arrived from the town's cloth shop, and then asked his mother to make a fur coat for her before she got married.
It can be said that Gu Yongming was the best person in the entire Gu family to Gu Yongmei. But after he came back from injury, she chose to stand on the side of her parents without hesitation, helping them to target the second branch, and then directly cut off contact with the second branch.
Gu Jin approached Gu Yongmei to lobby her. Gu Yongmei's first reaction was to refuse, but Gu Jin rejected her refusal. He showed her father's money and half ordered and half threatened her to drive Gu Yongmei to Baijia Village.
Gu Yongmei didn't want her father to embarrass her in front of her husband's family, so she had to listen to Gu Jin and go to Baijia Village for him.
When she came over, she learned that Gu Xing, who had come to visit Gu Tao and Gu Jin, was also at Gu Wenxuan's house.
Gu Xing knew that both Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li were relatively honest people. She was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would suffer in front of those shameless people, so she took the time to ask them what the purpose of those two families was.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li did not hide anything from her. Mrs. Li briefly told her what happened in the past two days, "Don't worry, that group of people were shameless, and no one took advantage of my family."
Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her brother, sister-in-law and nephew were very tough this time.
As the three were talking, Gu Yongmei came in with two bags of snacks, a smile on her face.
Most families in rural areas would not choose to close their doors when there were people at home during the day, so whether it was Gu Yongmei, or Gu Tao, Gu Jin and others before, they could all walk into Gu Wenxuan's house freely.
Hearing the noise, Mr. Gu, Mrs. Li, and Gu Xing all looked towards the door. Seeing that it was Gu Yongmei, Gu Xing was the first to frown, "What are you doing here?"
Li added sarcastically, "Did you go to the wrong door?"
Gu Yongmei almost couldn't keep the fake smile on her face. When Gu Jin came to her and asked her to get close to the people from the second branch of the Gu family, she guessed that she would not be welcomed. But she really couldn't persuade Gu Jin. She had no choice but to make this trip and humiliate herself.
"Uncle, aunt, and aunt." Gu Yongmei placed the two packages of snacks in her hand on the old wooden table in front of Grandpa Gu and the other two. "Well, is Yongming at home? I want to talk to him."
On the way to Baijia Village, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that her only chance to help Gu Jin achieve his goal should be with Gu Yongming, who had always been particularly caring towards her.
In the years before she got married, whenever she shed a few tears, or even showed any sadness or depression, Gu Yongming would rack his brains to cheer her up.
With the emotional foundation built over the past decade, Gu Yongmei felt that compared to other people in the second room, Gu Yongming was definitely her best target, no doubt about it.
However, Gu Xing did not let her little plan continue. When she heard Gu Yongmei say that she wanted to find Gu Yongming, Gu Xing immediately understood what her niece was planning.
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She subconsciously picked up the bowl of water in front of her and threw it at Gu Yongmei.
Gu Yongmei screamed and raised her arms to protect her head and face.
The bowl hit her left wrist, and the splashed water splashed all over her head and face. The bowl fell to the ground, rolled around, and was covered with a large circle of dust.
Before she could ask Gu Xing what she was doing, Gu Xing stood up.
"How dare you look for him? Huh? How dare you look for him?"
Gu Xing roared angrily and raised her hand to slap Gu Yongmei in the face.
Gu Yongmei was terrified. She screamed and dodged, and from time to time she shouted in a very frustrated voice:
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, save me!"
Old Master Gu stroked the corner of the wooden table without saying a word. Mrs. Li also sat there obediently without moving. Gu Xing chased her and beat her while cursing at her.
"What am I doing? What do you think I am doing?"
"You are such a heartless bastard! You are such a badass!"
"Your black-hearted parents don't act like brothers and sisters-in-law or elders at all. What about you? You are even more of an ungrateful person!"
"You still have the nerve to look for Yongming! I told you to look for Yongming!"
"Who in your family has Yongming not been good enough to?"
"Especially you, a piece of shit. You took advantage of your cousin by eating and taking things. Don't you know how much he has taken advantage of you?"
"But how did you treat him? Ah? How did you treat him?"
"Are you embarrassed wearing that fur coat? Look at your body. Who gave you such a favor to grow up like this?"
"Your parents called you a money-loser and treated you like a servant girl. Who took pity on you and secretly helped you to cut grass for pigs, dig wild vegetables, collect dry firewood, fetch water, and plant crops?"
"If you drop two drops of cat urine, your brother will do everything for you and give you the good stuff he got. He's still so young! He's younger than you!"
"What about you? How did you treat him? Ah? Tell me! Are you dumb?"
"You couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so you didn't think about it carefully? Don't you feel guilty at all?"
Gu Xing was cursing and Li was crying, but she felt particularly happy and open-minded in her heart.
She was not as eloquent as Gu Xing, but she hated Gu Yongmei more than Gu Xing for taking advantage of her son's misfortune and making sarcastic remarks about him!
God knows how much she and her man wanted to protect Gu Yongming back then, and how much they hated those people who hurt Gu Yongming so much!
Her son is such a good man, he is sincere, upright, filial to his elders, protective of his brothers and sisters, and he is also smart and clever. He knew how to find a way out for himself since he was young and how to supplement his family with his hunting skills.
But what did those bastards do to her son? Her son was injured, but was the injury only on his arm?
"God has opened his eyes... wuwuwu..." Mrs. Li couldn't hold back and burst into tears. "My family has been holding this grudge for more than ten years, and my granddaughter helped me, an old woman, to get rid of it... wuwuwu..."
Mr. Gu patted his wife's hand and said, "The good days for our family are still to come."
