Chapter 29 The Gu Family Can't Have Gamblers
"Oh, by the way, mother, I was so happy just now that I forgot to tell you that my elder sister is coming home today."
After Liu Tiechui left, Tong Huaqiong returned home, and Chen Sufen mentioned to her mother-in-law that Gu Baishuang had come to the Gu family.
Gu Baishuang's coming to the Gu family was more unexpected to Tong Huaqiong than Liu Tiechui's giving money to Liu Yue'e.
Didn’t Gu Baishuang cut off ties with her mother’s family?
"What is Gu Baishuang doing at our house? Hasn't she severed ties with our family?" Gu Taohua was quite dissatisfied when she mentioned her elder sister.
Tong Huaqiong gave her a sidelong glance.
Just think about it and you will know that Gu Baishuang definitely did not come to the Gu family to repair the relationship.
"…My eldest sister gave me fifty taels of silver, saying that Yaozu was her nephew after all, and she couldn't just watch her nephew being sent away."
Chen Sufen took out a bag of silver and handed it to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong weighed the silver and said nothing.
If Gu Baishuang's behavior of repaying evil with kindness to her original family were published in a book in the future, she would be criticized by netizens and would quit the Internet.
"She told me to hand the money over to my mother in person, and to consider it as a loan to my second brother. She didn't say when I would pay it back, she only mentioned one condition..."
Chen Sufen stopped talking here, she didn't dare to say any more.
She was afraid that once that condition was put forward, her mother-in-law would fly into a rage, and it would be bad if she ran to the town to confront Gu Baishuang.
"What conditions? It's okay, just tell me." Tong Huaqiong said.
"My eldest sister said...she said that she hopes her tablets and Dahan's mother's tablets can be placed together with my father's tablet so that we can worship them." Chen Sufen gritted her teeth and stated Gu Baishuang's conditions.
After saying that, she looked at her mother-in-law nervously.
Because of this incident, there was such a big commotion in front of my father-in-law's mourning hall that the clan leader was so angry that Tong Huaqiong and Gu Dashu fainted.
At this time, the elder sister-in-law took the opportunity to raise this request again. Will the mother-in-law agree?
Tong Huaqiong smiled brightly after hearing this.
The request raised by Gu Baishuang was nothing to her. Not to mention letting her mother's tablet be placed together with the dead old man, Tong Huaqiong had no objection even if the ashes of the two were stacked up.
"...Gu Dashu, you are heartless. These ten taels of silver are what my father saved with great effort. If you want to use this silver as capital to gamble, are you still a human being?"
"What do you know as a woman? I'm not gambling. I'm trying to save Yaozu. Wife, believe me, I'll definitely win back fifty taels with this ten taels of silver as capital."
Tong Huaqiong was just about to call Gu Dashu and his wife into the house because she had something to say when she heard Liu Yue'e and Gu Dashu arguing.
Tong Huaqiong stood up suddenly and walked to the door, where she saw Gu Dashu struggling to get out with the money bag, while Liu Yue'e was holding the corner of his clothes tightly.
The couple stayed together.
Gu Dashu is a bastard. He is so good at taking crooked paths that even at this time, he actually pins his hopes on gambling.
Pornography, gambling and drugs are the most harmful to people.
In Tong Huaqiong's modern memory, even an Olympic champion who is as strong as him can slide from the top to the mud if he gets involved in gambling. Not only that, gambling can make the champion lose his conscience to the point of secretly recording short videos of his girlfriend to pay for the gambling money.
How could she bear it at this time that gambling would appear in the Gu family.
Tong Huaqiong rushed in between Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e with a fire poker without saying a word, and almost knocked Gu Dashu unconscious with one hit of the poker.
"Mom..." Gu Dashu covered his head and squatted down in pain.
"You are such a jerk, Gu Dashu! Who gave you the courage to gamble? You are such a shameless bastard, you always resort to crooked ways. I let you gamble! I let you gamble!"
Tong Huaqiong cursed while swinging the fire stick wildly.
Gu Dashu endured the pain and ran around the yard, a shadow running around under the moonlight.
"You are a cucumber, I think you deserve to be slapped. Taohua, go to the kitchen and get me a knife, and I will slap his fingers off."
Gu Taohua stood there and dared not move.
Her mother opened the knife a little too wide, and she was afraid that if she took out the kitchen knife, her mother would really chop her second brother into pieces.
Seeing Gu Taohua standing still, Tong Huaqiong ran into the house and came out with a knife. Gu Dashu was so scared that his face turned pale and he fell to his knees in front of Tong Huaqiong.
"Mother, mother, I won't dare to do it again! I was forced, forced. There was only one day left. If I couldn't collect 50 taels of silver, Yaozu would be taken away. That's why I came up with this idea."
"I gamble not for myself, but to honor my family. Mom, believe me, I have always had good luck and I have never lost."
Gu Dashu hugged Tong Huaqiong's legs and begged for mercy.
"You still want to gamble, you still want to gamble! I will send you to keep your father company today." Tong Huaqiong was so angry that she pointed a knife at Gu Dashu.
Gu Dashu was so scared that he kept shaking.
"Mom, mom, you hit me, scold me, and slap me, but you can't chop me off. Wuuuu..." Gu Dashu said while slapping himself.
Tong Huaqiong remained unmoved. She held Gu Dashu's right hand, raised the knife and chopped it off.
The flash of the knife in the moonlight blinded Gu Dashu's eyes.
Gu Dashu fainted with a gurgling sound in his throat.
Gu Taohua, Liu Yue'e and Chen Sufen were also frightened by Tong Huaqiong's madness and did not dare to step forward to persuade her.
"Taohua, go get a basin of water and pour it on him." Tong Huaqiong threw down the knife and said to Gu Taohua.
This time Gu Taohua didn't dare to disobey, and she brought a large basin of cold water and poured it on Gu Dashu's head.
Gu Dashu slowly woke up, raised his right hand, and found that it was intact. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to cry.
"Get up!" Tong Huaqiong grabbed Gu Dashu's wet collar and pulled him into the house.
Gu Dashu wanted to faint again when seeing Tong Huaqiong's murderous look.
Tong Huaqiong slapped him so hard that he dared not close his eyes.
"Come in and talk."
Tong Huaqiong came to the upper room and sat on a chair, while Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e knelt on the ground.
"Mom, I will never gamble again! I swear, I won't even dare to think about it in the future." Gu Dashu raised his hand and swore.
"How have you been raising money these days? Have you tasted the pain of being separated from your family?" Tong Huaqiong sneered.
Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e didn't dare to speak.
These days have been really hard.
Especially Gu Dashu, he usually shows off in the village. Everyone is polite to him when he goes out. He thinks he is very popular and has a good relationship with people in Qinghe Bay.
But when he went to borrow money, he found that he was not even as good as a scallion in Qinghe Bay.
Not only did he fail to borrow money, but he also received a lot of ridicule.
Even when they learned that his son was going to be used as collateral for debt, many people scolded him and said that he deserved it, without any hesitation, and the scolding reached his ears directly.
"If you don't pay the money the day after tomorrow, Yaozu will be taken away. Then Yaozu will have two choices: either be a servant in the Zheng family, or abandon his descendants and become a eunuch in the palace as Wang Po said. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you two are really good parents."
"Why are you looking at me? I don't care. Yaozu is not my son anyway. I think you have raised Yaozu crookedly. You always treat him like an ancestor at home. Just abandon such a son. You should hurry up and practice trumpet."
Tong Huaqiong's words hit him hard.
Liu Yue'e cried.
"Why are you crying? How much money have you raised?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Gu Dashu's face turned red, he didn't raise a single penny.
Liu Yue'e raised the cloth bag in her hand and said with sobs: "My father gave me ten taels. My father clearly had seventeen taels, but he only gave me ten taels."
Tong Huaqiong was speechless and really wanted to open Liu Yue'e's brain to see what was inside.
People are not enough to swallow elephants.
She even started complaining about her father at her husband's house.
"If I were your father, I wouldn't care about you at all. I think the Liu family has raised you for nothing. Do you want your father to sell everything he has to save Yaozu? You want to rely on your grandfather for something his father can't do? Liu Yue'e, how could your parents give birth to a thing like you?"
Liu Yue'e raised her tearful eyes and looked at Tong Huaqiong.
Doesn't my mother-in-law always like to curse her family behind their backs? Why is she defending her now?
She was indeed a little unhappy that her father gave her ten taels of silver. Even at this point, he was still unwilling to give up the remaining seven taels.
After Tong Huaqiong stabbed two people, he pulled out a cloth bag from behind the chair. A bag of silver was glowing under the dim kerosene lamp.
"mother."
"Where did the money come from?"
Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e both exclaimed in surprise.
