Chapter 54 Old Debt ([-])

Gu Wu secretly hated.

Although he knew that the old woman in the family was a foolish person and usually didn't want to talk to her, so he didn't like to meddle in the family affairs, but he never thought that she could do things like this——
"Where did the money that was exchanged for that gold bar go?" Gu Wuhong stared fixedly at Chen Suxiang, the anger in his eyes could burn people to death.

bullion?What gold bars?Isn't the Gu family poor and white, poor peasants for generations?How did it get involved with gold bars?
Now not only the members of the Zhang family peeped at each other, but even Gu Jinhua looked at her mother in surprise. She had never heard her mother mention that her natal family had gold bars.

"Use it, use it." Chen Suxiang shrank her head guiltily, and moved her butt to the side, not daring to look at Gu Wu.

"Have you used it? Since you didn't feed your in-laws well, you must have not paid any last wages, right? Then where did the money go?" Gu Wu was so angry that he didn't rush to do anything, but he remained calm. Come down and ask carefully, only those who know him can see from his squinted eyes that a more violent storm is brewing there.

"Anyway, it's been used anyway. After such a long time, who remembers where it was used?" Chen Suxiang saw that Gu Wu didn't make a move, and couldn't help but feel a little more courageous.

"What about the food? I remember that you bought meat dishes every day, and you also made excuses that there were not many good things, so you cooked the meals for your in-laws and us separately every day. Those good meals you cooked What about the good food? Whose belly did it end up in?"

Gu Wu can still remember that he saw those meat dishes being cooked alone, and he didn't even touch his mouth in order to "entertain" his in-laws.Afterwards, Chen Suxiang intentionally or unintentionally showed him the leftovers from her in-laws several times, most of which were leftover vegetables, and he still remembered her muttering disdainfully at that time: Look, how good you are at eating good food, and the leftovers The orders are all vegetarian dishes. If you are full of meat, don’t you just look down on these radishes and vegetables?
A flash of guilt flashed in his heart. If his mother-in-law hadn't revealed it today, he would probably have been kept in the dark about this matter for the rest of his life. He didn't know that the truth was very different from what he knew.

He was so angry that he wanted to laugh. When he saw those leftovers, although he scolded the old woman not to tell her to say such things again, he still had some slight resistance to his in-laws in his heart.At that time, he felt that the old woman was finally not so confused for a while, and then he completely put this matter aside and didn't ask any more questions.

How did he know that the person who he thought was stupid and couldn't make any waves had such a good mind that even he was fooled?
When Chen Suxiang heard Gu Wu's question, she couldn't help hesitating for a long time before she said bravely: "Do you think that gold bar is really that valuable? I didn't get much money at all."

Who else could eat those meat dishes?Of course, she and her grandson ate it together. But how dare she say that so clearly?

Gu Wu recalled the past carefully, and suddenly smiled coldly.It’s no wonder that after the in-laws finished their work and left, the family returned to the days of buying meat occasionally. As a result, the eldest grandson lost his temper inexplicably, crying and calling his in-laws to come back to work again.

It turns out that the root cause is here——
But the eldest grandson can't finish those things alone. I guess the old lady didn't eat less, right?

At this time, Gu Wu had completely believed Wen Xiu's words, and believed what she said, the old women who made those wardrobes in their family didn't even give them money for the wood.He sneered twice, and decided to settle the account with Chen Suxiang behind closed doors after the Zhang family left.

He stood up with a shame on his face, and apologized to Zhang Dazhuang and Wen Xiu: "Dear family, this matter is indeed done by our Gu family. I will pay you the wages and timber together later."

"At the beginning we said that we don't need wages, but now there is no reason to take that money anymore. We only charge for wood." Wen Xiu came out before Zhang Dazhuang could speak, shaking her head and refused, joking that she hadn't finished speaking yet. .Now that they have received their wages, do they really think that they only settled their old scores for money and something to eat?Doesn't that show that my family's eyelids are too shallow, and it is inevitable that people will look down on my family afterward?
She snorted in her heart, the anger on her face was not extinguished because of Gu Wu's apology, but burned more and more. She stood up and looked down at Chen Suxiang, and said unceremoniously: "Today I will tell you These are not for the sake of wages and food. If it’s just that the food is not good, I won’t mention it today. Mother-in-law, I just want to ask you, my old man and two sons will do their best for your family. After finishing the furniture, why didn’t you bring it up in person if you were dissatisfied? Instead, you went around behind your back to slander the three of them, father and son, saying that they didn’t work hard enough, that they deliberately grind foreign labor and waste your wood? You didn’t touch your conscience when you said this , don't you feel that your conscience will be disturbed if you are not guilty?"

"...I, how could I, how could I go out and say something like that"

Chen Suxiang felt guilty when Wen Xiu asked her. Seeing her aggressive appearance, her heart beat faster and she forgot that she was sitting. Subconsciously, she wanted to back up, but she leaned back. Fortunately, Gu Jinhua stopped her in time, so she didn't fall over.

"Ha ha."

Seeing her distressed appearance, Wen Xiu laughed happily: "Okay, you said you never said it, then you dare to swear a poisonous oath in front of the big guys today, if you said it, you will have your own life My son and daughter will die in a terrible way, will there be five thunders from the sky?"

"Why are you so vicious? My mother said she didn't say it, but she didn't. Why do you ask her to swear such a poisonous oath? Don't bully people too much just because you are good at fighting. "

Gu Jinhua didn't need to look at Chen Suxiang's face to know that her mother's face would definitely be oozing white.Her mother believes in gods and Buddhas the most, that is, when burning incense and worshiping Buddhas was not allowed in the past, she would secretly kneel down at home to avoid people, recite Buddhist scriptures silently and pray for the blessing of Buddha.

Zhang Minzhen's mother was too much, how could she not know this after being an in-law for so many years, but she still insisted on the bad things in the past and asked her mother to make such vicious oaths.

"Oh, if you don't dare to swear, just say you don't dare, but you still have to label it the other way around. Is it because I'm vicious, I'm bullying too much, or are you the only ones like that?"

Wen Xiu looked at the mother and daughter with a sneer, and said nothing more after leaving this sentence.

The matter is already obvious, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can know what is going on.It was meaningless for her to continue to press Chen Suxiang, instead she seemed to be unreasonable.It might as well be like this, anyway, her goal has been achieved, and she has already told Gu Wu what she wants to know.

This is probably the only one in the Gu family who is still a sensible person.

As for Chen Suxiang's sophistry, she really didn't have much interest in listening to it.
