Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 509: Visit at Night
Listening to the old man and his wife, Mr. Tian, ​​who had come to visit overnight, scolding their son and complaining in unison, Zhou Banxia knew that Gu Wenxuan's guess was correct.

"It's outrageous." Gu Erzhu listened silently, pretending not to know the real intention of his uncle and aunt, "But it's my eldest brother's fault.

It's not that I, as his nephew, am standing on my eldest brother's side. He was wrong. His mistake was that as his brother-in-law, he shouldn't have spoiled Ergouzi and helped to hide the secret from you two elders.

But according to what my cousins ​​and their wives said during the day, it is impossible that my eldest brother was having an affair with that widow and was afraid that others would find out so he deliberately gave her to Ergouzi.

He is not a cunning person. He didn't have such a cunning mind before, and now he is almost fifty years old and a grandfather, so it is even more impossible for him to have such a cunning mind.

Outsiders may not know, but you must know that if there was such a thing, it would not have been your cousin's turn to marry in. There were girls who were prettier than your cousin back then.

My grandfather is the head of the clan after all, and my eldest brother is my father's eldest son and a scholar. It's not easy to marry a daughter of a wealthy family, but it's not difficult to find a good-looking one.

Besides, although my mother had the final say in my family, my grandfather was still alive at that time. Even after he passed away, my father was still the head of the family.

My eldest brother has been the apple of my father's eye since he was young. If he was unwilling to marry my cousin at that time, my mother would not be able to defeat my father at all.

It was my eldest brother who fell in love with my cousin, which led to the marriage between our two families. They were brought together without a matchmaker, they just had a natural affinity for each other.

So I dare say that it is impossible for my eldest brother to do anything reckless outside. What's more, Dalang is still in the city. The truth cannot be hidden. He can't and dare not do anything reckless.

Even if the woman is extremely beautiful, he would not do such a ridiculous thing as having an affair with her and then giving her to Er Gouzi even if he is tempted by her. "

In the west wing, in the northern study room closest to the main courtyard, Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other. Her father-in-law/his father was really bold!

"Who is Er Gouzi? He is my cousin and my wife's brother. Who could be closer to me than these two? For the sake of my elder brother and Da Lang, Er Gouzi has been picking on me a lot.

I’m not afraid of you two laughing at me, I envy my eldest brother so much, Er Gouzi has done so many immoral things for my eldest brother that almost made me vomit blood in anger——"

Old Man Tian's heart skipped a beat and he interrupted immediately: "Old Er, I know Er Gouzi is useless and I'm sorry for you. I've scolded him and beaten him, but you can't bear it in your heart."

Gu Erzhu smiled bitterly, "Uncle, do I need to tell you this? He is my biological cousin after all. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If not for you and aunt, I have to endure it because he is my mother's biological nephew."

Study in the west wing.

Seeing Zhou Banxia's pleading eyes, Gu Wenxuan nodded and whispered, "This is the truth. Apart from beating him up a few times, my father has always treated Tian Ergou as a clown."

"Besides, every time he schemed against me, he did it not for outsiders, but for my elder brother and my nephew. How could I bear a grudge? I even had to speak well of him in front of the children.

Like last time, he was so stupid that he acted like a child and didn’t understand. He even helped Dalang to calculate the dowries of my two daughters-in-law, which really annoyed my Liulang at that time.

You know, my Liu Lang has never been a serious person since he was little. When he went to your house to pay New Year's greetings when he was little, he suffered a loss. At most, he just doesn't like to go anymore."

Are you bringing up old issues again?
Old Mrs. Tian nudged Old Man Tian with her elbow. Old Man Tian glared at his wife. What if Erzhuzi couldn't see it? He sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Gu Erzhu didn't wait for Old Man Tian to call out "Second brother" or "nephew" and quickly finished speaking. "Just think about it, how angry must he be to make this kid forget that his uncle is his elder and even want to beat him up?
I'm not saying good things for my son, but he is my uncle and I have to admit that you two elders have finally come to visit your nephew. How dare I bring up old grudges with you?
I am a nephew and there are no outsiders around at this moment, just the three of us. I want to complain to you and aunt. There are some things that I have to hide even from my mother.

If I say something out loud, I'm afraid my father will hear it and even my mother will be embarrassed. Er Gouzi, he is more than just my cousin, he is my enemy.

Not to mention that my Erlang stopped going to school because of his cousin, just my Liulang has been humiliated countless times by his cousin since he grew up.

But what can I do? I can only help Er Gouzi to speak well of him in front of the child, saying that his cousin is an elder, and that his cousin has a good heart, but is bad with his mouth..."

Gu Wenxuan overheard these words, turned Zhou Banxia's face, and smiled quietly, "No need to bother listening, our father is just digging up the past and wants them to back off.

When it comes to the fact that the eldest brother was told by Tian Ergou not to go to school, it is actually talking about the time when Dalang heard the teacher praising the eldest brother for his talent in studying and made a fuss about running away to the Tian family.

At that time, Old Man Tian was worried that our family’s financial situation could only support one child’s education, and my father was the one supporting the family, so he was a lack of virtue, so he came to our house while my father was not at home.

I'm not very clear about what was said specifically, but I just remember that your great-grandfather came back to the village to set up a village school, and then your eldest brother went back to the village to study first.

When dad came back, I don't know what he said, but even Dalang returned to the village from the town to study. After that, your great-grandfather praised your eldest brother for his good study.

Old man Tian was not honest again, saying that his Tian family had funded Dalang's study in the private school in the county, and he and the old man sang the same tune to get Gu Dalang into the private school run by Mr. Lin.

As a result, his uncle persuaded Old Man Tian to take out ten taels of silver and wait for Dalang to pay the dowry. The next day, his wife came to the house and asked the old lady to take her back to him to propose marriage for her grandson.

From then on, Old Man Tian seldom came to Qinghe Village to see his sister. Instead, Tian Ergou often came to visit and the Xiaotian siblings excluded our mother everywhere.

As for the old lady, since Dalang's expenses were naturally higher when he went to the county town to study, she was very stingy with money spent on food, and she even complained when his mother spent her own money to buy eggs.

My eldest brother and I told my father about it. We argued and made a lot of noise, but my mother was still very upset. After that, my eldest brother was noticed by Doctor Dong.

He simply dropped out of school and studied medicine with Doctor Dong. Firstly, he really liked collecting herbs and studying medicine, and he was always thinking that sooner or later the old man and the old lady would ask him to treat their illnesses.

It was a very immature idea. He also told me that when he learned it, sooner or later he would make a handful of medicine that no one could see and let them drink it, so that they could bully our mother. "

Zhou Banxia covered her mouth and laughed silently.

Speaking of this, Gu Wenxuan was amused, "Secondly, I memorized faster than him at that time, so he probably wanted to give me the opportunity to study.

He thinks that my younger brother is not good at talking, but he is good at studying without having to sweet-talk. He was very worried when I dropped out of school and kept asking me what I could do if I didn't study.

I was at Uncle Ma's place, and he was already engaged to my eldest sister-in-law. It was he who asked Uncle Ma to let me play for two years, and Uncle Ma persuaded my father not to force me. "

"So Master Ma didn't dare to take you into the deep mountains and old forests, nor did he dare to teach you real kung fu, for fear that you would become wild and delay your return to pick up the book?"
