The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 548: Authority and Motherly Love Are Challenged

Jia's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by Old Lady Gu.

Gu Ruinian lay on the bed not daring to say a word.

He just felt that his luck was really bad, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was at home to discuss with his mother about marrying Gu Honglian instead of Xiaoxue to Xu Dabao. He thought it was foolproof, but was discovered by Gu Honglian and Old Lady Gu.

He was almost breaking through.

Why has God never been kind to him since he passed the imperial examination?

"Mom, luckily you have my back, otherwise my second sister-in-law and Ruinian would have taken me back to pay off my debts long ago."

Gu Honglian was crying with tears in her eyes.

This was the trick Gu Taohua suggested to her. She should take the initiative and use tears to arouse the sympathy of old lady Gu.

"And you, if it weren't for the trouble you caused, how could the family owe money? If they owe five hundred taels, even if you were sold, you wouldn't be worth five taels. You want to use me to pay off the debt, how dare you?"

Gu Honglian pointed the gun from Jia to Gu Ruinian.

Not only did she scold him, she also scratched him.

The long nails scratched Gu Ruinian from his forehead to his neck, leaving cuts all over his body.

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She took a deep breath. She was just busy scolding her second daughter-in-law.

But I forgot about the culprit Gu Ruinian.

If in the past, Gu Honglian had to be sacrificed for Gu Ruinian's future, Mrs. Gu would have agreed no matter how reluctant she was.

The situation is different now. This is to pay off the debt to Gu Ruinian, and this brat didn't even discuss it with her. He directly plotted against her daughter privately.

Both authority and maternal love are challenged.

Old Mrs. Gu can bear it.

Old Madam Gu pointed at Gu Ruinian and cursed, "You immoral bastard, this is your own aunt, how dare you? Your grandfather and I are not dead yet, and you have set your sights on Honglian. You might as well just bury me, your grandmother. I tell you, if you dare to set your sights on Honglian, you are wrong."

"What do you mean you have a way to pay back the Xu family's five hundred taels of silver? Your way is to ask your aunt to pay off your sister's debt?"

"You are a thing that deserves to be struck by lightning. You are vicious from your mother's womb and a born bad seed. God is blind. How could my Gu family have such an unfilial descendant as you? You deserve to fail the imperial examination and you deserve to have your bones broken. If I had known that you would scheme against your aunt like this, I should have drowned you when you were born."

Old Mrs. Gu cried while scolding. When she got angry, she picked up the feather duster beside her and beat Gu Ruinian severely.

Wei stood aside with a sneer on his face.

Gu Ruinian, you have come to this day.

It's time to fight.

From the time he got into trouble until now, no one has ever blamed him except Gu Honglian and Gu Youtian.

According to her, the five hundred taels of silver should not be returned, and Gu Ruinian should be handed over to the Xu family. It would be up to the Xu family to decide whether to beat him to death or to cripple him.

She really didn't expect that Gu Ruinian, who was already a grasshopper in autumn, was still jumping around and scheming for personal gain.

The mother-in-law is the same. She even dared to plot against my aunt for this useless son.

"What are you making a fuss about? The house is already a mess enough, how long are you going to make a fuss about it?"

Old Man Gu was discussing the matter of borrowing money at the clan leader's house when he was interrupted by Gu Fengnian. On his way home, he heard Gu Fengnian briefly tell him what was happening at home. He was angry that Gu Ruinian and Jia dared to plot against his little girl.

When I entered the house, I heard crying and cursing from inside.

Mr. Gu was fed up.

"Old man, you have to make the decision for Honglian. I went through the gates of hell to have a daughter in my old age, but this ruthless mother and son want to give the little girl to Xu Dabao to pay off his debts. Isn't this digging their own flesh and blood? Wuuuuuu... wuuuuuuu..."

Seeing her husband coming in, Mrs. Gu could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground wailing.

Gu Honglian stood by and shed tears, saying, "If you ask me to pay off my debts, I will hang myself at the door."

Old Master Gu raised his eyes and glanced at Jia gloomily.

In his mind, it was Jia who instigated Gu Ruinian to come up with this despicable idea.

This daughter-in-law has never liked Gu Honglian.

Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly knelt down in front of Old Man Gu, crying, "Dad, I didn't think of scheming against my sister-in-law, I have no other choice. Please allow your daughter-in-law to explain herself."

Old Lady Gu roared, "You rotten seed whose heart, liver and lungs are oozing with pus, even if you try to make excuses, you are still trying to force Honglian to death."

Mr. Gu had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Even though Mrs. Gu has a loud voice, it is still Mr. Gu who makes the final decision in this family.

The fact that Mr. Gu did not scold Jia meant that Jia had the opportunity to speak.

Jia ignored Mrs. Gu's angry scolding and continued, "Compared to Xiaoxue, my daughter-in-law thinks Honglian is more suitable to marry Xu Dabao."

Gu Honglian's eyes were red with anger when she heard this.

Jia ignored it completely.

"Xiaoxue is outstanding in both her character and appearance, not to mention in Qinghewan, but in the entire Pingchuan County. In the past, in the south, many wealthy families came to me to marry Xiaoxue as their daughter-in-law, but I rejected them all. I wanted Xiaoxue to marry a better family and help her family. Now our family is in this situation. The business is not going to take off. There is no money. Rui Nian is studying... I don't know when his leg will be healed. Our family can't continue like this. Now only Xiaoxue's marriage may help our family get better."

"Not to mention marrying an official as his wife, Xiaoxue is capable of marrying a wealthy family as their first wife."

"On the other hand, let me tell you about Honglian. Dad, I don't want to say anything, but how good a family do you think Honglian can marry? When we were in the south, Mom was always angry that she always chose Xiaoxue even though she was looking for a family for Honglian. Doesn't this mean that Xiaoxue can marry a better family than my aunt? Xiaoxue marrying into the Xu family will not help our family in any way. Since we are going to give up a daughter, why don't we keep the most useful one?"

Jia said while crying.

It means that Gu Xiaoxue is more valuable to the Gu family, and her marriage cannot be neglected.

Gu Honglian is of no value to the family, so her marriage can be arranged at will.

Mr. Gu's face went from gloomy when he entered the house to clearing up.

What Jia said makes a lot of sense.

If Mr. Gu was not Gu Honglian's father, he would also think it would be better to marry Gu Honglian to Xu Dabao.

The difficulty lies in the fact that he is Gu Honglian's father, and Gu Honglian is his youngest daughter and the one he loves the most.

Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu have lived together for so many years that she knows what he is going to do as soon as he sticks out his butt.

Jia's words touched the old man's heart.

No, her daughter must not marry Xu Dabao.

Old Lady Gu said angrily: "It's better to kill me first than to marry Honglian to Xu Dabao."

Gu Honglian followed suit and said, "If you want me to marry Xu Dabao, I will poison Gu Ruinian first, then Xu Dabao, and then myself."

Old Mrs. Gu hugged Gu Honglian and cried.

Jia's eyelids twitched.

Gu Ruinian’s face turned pale.

Gu Honglian has a hot temper and if pushed to the limit, she can really do something.

Gu Xiaoxue stood in the corner with hunched shoulders. She raised her head and her eyes met Gu Ruinian who was lying on the bed.

Normally she didn't dare to look up at her second brother. She always felt that he was different from them because he was good at studying and knew a lot.

This time, she looked at Gu Ruinian calmly.
