Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 97
In fact, the reason why Ge Dongming's anger erupted today was not because of Zhou Yu's arrival and it started to float.

The main reason is that I have been feeling aggrieved and suppressed for too long.

Like a bubble, it has expanded to the limit, and it will be a matter of time before it explodes.

And what happened today, like a sharp thorn, completely punctured this bubble...

It is also like a volcano that is silent on the surface, erupting in an instant.

"You... you dare to hit me?"

Fang Xiangnan caressed his red and swollen face, looked at Ge Dongming with an expression of disbelief and muttered.

"What's wrong with beating you? Thanks to you reading so many sage books, a married woman doesn't know how to avoid suspicion, so she came here to talk and laugh with my wife..."

Speaking of this, Ge Dongming glared at his wife again and yelled: "And you, you are already a married woman but don't know how to abide by yourself, and your cousin goes to your cousin all day long..."

Before Ge Dongming could finish yelling, Yun Ling couldn't help it, she rushed forward two steps, and slapped her across the face.

Unexpectedly, Ge Dongming tilted his head to avoid it, and then slapped him with a backhand...

"Snapped!"

Hit straight.

This was a terrible situation, Yunling fell to the ground, crying and fussing, looking for life and death.

"Cousin, are you okay..."

Xiang Nan rushed forward to help.

"Cousin, don't worry about me, what's the point of me being alive?
Not to mention marrying a useless man, you actually dare to kick my thrush to death and slap me in the face..."

"Cousin, get up first..."

This Xiang Nan was really rude, he openly hugged his cousin in his arms to comfort her in front of her husband.

"Bastard, you still dare to be rude to my wife?"

Ge Dongming's face was livid, and he was about to step forward and drag him away to the south, when Liu He and his wife hurried into the courtyard.

"stop!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu He shouted angrily.

"Uncle, aunt..."

Xiang Nan hurriedly went up to meet him, thinking that a villain would file a complaint first.

"Father, mother, this bastard Ge Dongming beats his daughter, she doesn't want to live anymore, woo woo woo..."

Yunling fell to the ground again and started crying.

Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her daughter and rushed forward to comfort her.

Liu He was ashamed and angry, with veins twitching on his forehead, and scolded Ge Dongming: "You bastard, are you drinking too much to be crazy?"

"Father-in-law, listen to my son-in-law's explanation..."

"What else is there to explain? Do you know how much silver that thrush is worth?
At least 300 taels, you can't afford it for a lifetime.

Back then, the old man sympathized with you, not only did his best to subsidize your studies, but also betrothed his precious daughter to you.

I hoped that you would be promising, but what happened?It's fine if you don't pass the exam, and you go out drinking and fooling around all day long.

Feel your conscience and think about it, who gave you your life of luxury and luxury?

It's fine if you're not grateful, but you still dare to beat my precious daughter in the Liu residence..."

"Uncle, he not only slapped Yunling, but even my nephew was slapped."

Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Xiang Nan raised his finger to his red and swollen face.

At this moment, Madam Liu turned her head and said with a gloomy expression: "Master, this matter is absolutely unforgivable.

Today, he must be dragged to see the official, not only must his relationship with Yun Ling be terminated, but he must also be made to compensate for all losses. "

Upon hearing this, Liu He hurriedly said: "Madam calm down, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term..."

After all, he is a face-saving person.

As the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, if this matter is really brought to the government, it will inevitably cause disturbances all over the city.

Moreover, once the engagement is terminated, the daughter is already in her early thirties, so it may not be so easy to find a good husband.

But Mrs. Liu didn't think so.

In fact, when Liu He chose Ge Dongming as his son-in-law, she was very dissatisfied.

What she always wanted was to get closer, that is, to marry her daughter to Xiang Nan, even if it was a concubine.

Because, the condition of the Fang family is better than that of the Liu family, and someone in the ancestors has been a fifth-rank official, so they can be called the queen of the official family.

It was precisely because of Mrs. Liu's acquiescence and even connivance that Xiang Nan was so unscrupulous.

If Ge Dongming hadn't been watching closely, maybe this pair of cousins...

Hearing the conversation of this family, Ge Dongming couldn't help but smile angrily.

Dare he be inferior to a bird in this family?

"Okay, since the mother-in-law said to go to see the official, then I will go to see the official, and it happens that my son-in-law also wants to ask the government to judge justice."

Liu He said angrily: "Ge Dongming, are you still in good spirits?"

"Father-in-law, this is the meaning of my mother-in-law. My son-in-law also thinks what my mother-in-law said is reasonable. Since the etiquette is not clear, then I will go to the government to teach the law."

"you……"

Liu He blushed with anger.

He actually knew it in his heart. On the surface, the boundary between his daughter and Xiang Nan was not crossed, but at least it was beyond the courtesy.

Once the matter breaks out, not only the daughter, but the couple will also be scolded at the spine.

"Brother Dongming, this... so good, why did you suddenly get into trouble?"

At this time, Zhou Yu walked into the courtyard with Ying Ning.

In fact, he has been listening outside for a while, and he has roughly heard the cause and effect.

In terms of emotion and reason, he must stand by Ge Dongming's side.

After all, a married woman, a married man, even if they are cousins, why do they get together alone if they have nothing to do?

Head to head to tease the birds together.

A fool can guess it, the two of them are probably not a bird...

Seeing Zhou Yu entering the courtyard, Ge Dongming hurried up to greet him, clasped his fists in embarrassment and said:
"I'm really sorry, brother Ziling came from a long way away, and he was supposed to treat you with great hospitality, but in the end..."

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "It's okay! Dongming, there's no need to go to the government for a little family matter. Let's calm down first..."

The sudden appearance of Zhou Yu brought the conflict between the two sides to a halt.

Out of courtesy, Ge Dongming still introduced: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, these are my son-in-law's classmates when he was studying in Yuhang..."

He didn't show off Zhou Yu's identity, he just gave a brief introduction and only gave Zhou Yu's surname without signing up.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou... Sorry, I made Mr. Zhou laugh."

Liu He greeted perfunctorily.

Xiang Nan didn't say a word, but stood beside Yun Ling and whispered comfort.

"Haha, nothing."

Zhou Yu smiled, then turned his head to Ge Dongming and said, "Dongming, you and I have been separated from Yuhang for several years, why don't you go to a restaurant and have a few drinks to catch up..."

"Alright!"

Ge Dongming knew that Zhou Yu didn't want to stay in Liu's residence, so he happened to find someone to talk to...

As soon as the people left, Liu He couldn't help shouting at his daughter: "What's going on? How could that kid be so abnormal, making noise and fighting?"

Yun Ling wept with aggrieved look: "How does my daughter know? It must be because she drank too much wine and went crazy."

"Xiaoying, tell me!"

Liu He glanced at Xiaoying and drank again.

"This..." Xiaoying looked terrified and hesitant.

"speak!"

"Yes... Before, that Mr. Zhou came to visit, my uncle said he was a distinguished guest, so let... let the lady come to the front hall to say hello.

Miss... Miss said she was not feeling well, so she didn't go.

I don't know how my uncle came to the backyard, saw... saw..."

Speaking of this, she really didn't dare to continue, for fear of offending Miss and Xiang Nan again.

However, with the previous few sentences foreshadowing, Liu He naturally guessed the reason.

He is also a man, so he can naturally understand the mood of his son-in-law.

It's fine to be a little angry on weekdays, but finally a classmate came from afar, but the daughter didn't give face, saying that she was not feeling well.

As a result, he talked and laughed with his cousin in the backyard.

I'm afraid not many men can swallow this breath.

"Hmph, what a nonsense!"

Liu He glared at his wife, and left angrily.

Of course he knew the purpose of offering courtesy to Xiang Nan, but he didn't want to say more.

From the bottom of his heart, although Liu He was disappointed with Ge Dongming, he was not as eager as his wife for his daughter to remarry to Fang's family.

The family does not have to worry about food and clothing, so what reason is there for the daughter to be someone else's concubine?
On the other side, Ge Dongming brought Zhou Yu and Ying Ning to a restaurant, drinking and confiding in his heart.

"One wrong step, one wrong step. At the beginning, I was confused for a while, and promised my father-in-law to be a door-to-door son-in-law...

It was only later that they found out that they just regarded their future as a bet.

For a long time, Bucai has been swallowing his anger. Apart from studying hard, he also tried his best to help his father-in-law manage the business and clear up old accounts.

But, no matter what I do, they don't like it...

After all, I think they bet on the wrong treasure, and think that there is no hope at all..."

"Dongming, there is a saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage.

But forgive Zhou for saying something bad, if this continues, your life may really be ruined. "

Ge Dongming couldn't help but smiled wryly: "That's right, Bucai also knows it in his heart. With Bucai's current situation and mentality, it is difficult to really calm down and study."

"If there is no interruption, there will be chaos. Judging by the current attitude of Mrs. Ling and her family, that family is no longer worthy of nostalgia.

It's better to make a quick decision, maybe it's too late to start from scratch. "

Hearing this, Ge Dongming didn't know where the pride came from, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Then he laughed loudly: "Okay, listening to brother Ziling's words is better than reading ten years of books.

It was true that Bucai was too indecisive before, looking forward and backward, and waiting for tomorrow, Bucai left Liu's mansion to find another way out. "

"That's right, if brother Dongming doesn't mind, you can also go to Zhou's academy to teach and study at the same time, and strive for the next high school entrance examination."

Hearing this, Ge Dongming was very grateful, and he cupped his hands sincerely and said, "Then thank you, Brother Ziling."

"You're welcome……"

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu asked about the situation and trends of Ye Kun, Gu Bufan and others.

This is the main purpose of his coming to Gusu.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?
When Ye Kun and others were mentioned, Ge Dongming couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be that Brother Ziling came to Gusu to..."

He wanted to say to win the round.

But when the words came to his lips, he came back to his senses, no, last time it was obviously Ye Kun and others who suffered a loss, and returned to Gusu in despair.

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head: "To tell you the truth, brother Dongming, someone has been secretly dealing with Zhou recently.

After thinking about it, I feel that Ye Kun is quite suspicious, so I made a special trip to Gusu to find out the details. "

Although it is necessary to be defensive, Zhou Yu never believes that Ge Dongming and Ye Kun are in the same group.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so depressing...
