Chapter 83: The Old and the New, the Daughter of the Wife Who Has Been a Wife for a Long Time
As Gu Laoliu said, Mr. Lin was very angry after reading the letter. He didn't even have breakfast, and took his eldest son and second son and a group of people to the Gu Mansion in a mighty manner.
Gu Laoliu picked up Chang'an and ran out, "Girl, let's go watch a show."
"Wait a minute, do you know the way?" Changan struggled to get down from his hands, turned around and shouted into the house: "Dayi, let's go eat melons."
A figure flashed out from the house, holding a bag of melon seeds in his hand. Dayi led the way, and the three of them ran to the front yard with excitement in their eyes.
The twists and turns made the father and daughter stare blankly.
"Dad, after Lin Qingxue announces her divorce in the newspaper, we will move out. Living in this house is too tiring." They have to find the direction of the gate whenever they want to leave the house. It would be more appropriate for them to live in a house where they can see the gate when they walk out of the yard.
Gu Laoliu agreed very much. He was not suitable for the life of a rich man. Damn it!
With Dayi leading the way, they soon arrived at the front yard, which was already full of people, most of whom were brought by Grandpa Lin.
The powerful voice of Mr. Lin came from the main hall, "Your Gu family is too bullying. It was you who asked to marry my daughter, Lin, but you threw her away after marrying her. May I ask where Mr. Gu put my Lin family?"
Although he is feudal, he is protective and double-standard. He thinks it is normal for other people to have three wives and four concubines, but if it were his son-in-law, that would definitely not be acceptable. The new society has begun to advocate monogamy, so how could he, Gu Yunzhou, learn the lifestyle of the old society?
No one can be wronged but his daughter cannot be wronged, so this marriage must be ended.
Chang'an was afraid that Lin Jingxue, this stupid teammate, would suddenly go back on her word again, "Miss Lin, please don't be stupid. Why do you want a scumbag husband when you have a father like this? Just kick him away and go back with your father."
Lin Qingxue had just taken a sip of tea and was almost choked by the sudden sound. She silently put down the teacup and decided not to drink it for the time being.
The breakfast was a bit salty this morning and she was very thirsty now.
When she decided to let go of Gu Yunzhou and the Gu family, she no longer cared about what her mother-in-law would think of her. Lin Qingxue did not seem sad at all, and she was completely relaxed. She lowered her head and scratched her hands, and did not receive any signal from Old Lady Gu at all.
"My dear relatives, calm down. This is indeed the fault of my Yunzhou. We have scolded him and beaten him, and we have not acknowledged that woman. The Gu family only recognizes Jingxue as the eldest son's wife and the future mistress of the Gu family."
Mr. Gu is not as strong as Mr. Lin. On the surface, the Lin family and the Gu family are evenly matched, but in fact, only Mr. Gu knows that the Lin family is in its heyday while the Gu family is on the decline.
Because of Gu Yunzhou, things are better than before, but there hasn't been much change.
Old Master Lin cursed in his heart, saying that it sounded better than singing. Don’t think he didn’t know that these two old guys disliked his Qingxue for not giving birth to a son.
Your son is not at home. If his daughter gives birth to a grandson for the Gu family, then his daughter is really great.
"Don't say anything. I must take Qingxue away. From now on, the Lin family and the Gu family should no longer have any contact with each other. My Lin family will not take advantage of your Gu family. Just be happy for each of us."
He heard from his youngest son that Gu Yunzhou was too high-profile and the Gu family had been targeted by the enemy, so he had to take his daughter away quickly. He was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to ask the third son to put the advertisement in the newspaper.
"Xue'er, go pack up, we're leaving right away."
"Yes, Dad," Lin Qingxue didn't even look at the old couple of the Gu family sitting at the top. She responded and immediately got up and left.
When Mrs. Gu saw this, she didn't care about etiquette and stood up to chase after him.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, you can't be confused," her tone was sincere, full of concern, and also a hint of worry.
There is definitely some water in her concern, and her worry is genuine, but what she is worried about is that without the support of the Lin family, how will the Gu family develop?
Chang'an clicked his tongue and shook his head, "The old lady will definitely say next that Yunzhou was just confused for a moment and he still has you in his heart. Bah! If he really has someone in his heart, he won't have two minds."
Lin Qingxue nodded secretly in her heart, that was the truth, and then she heard the old lady say the same words as Chang'an.
"Xue'er, Yunzhou was just confused for a moment. He still has you in his heart. Once the novelty wears off, he will definitely come back. You are not young anymore. It will be difficult to find another one if you divorce. You can't always live with your parents for the rest of your life, right?
It’s different in the Gu family. When your father-in-law and I are gone for a hundred years, you will be the head of the Gu family, and no one will be able to look down on you.”
At this time, Changan added in his mind, "Come on, it won't be long before the Gu family will be occupied by the enemy. You will be killed soon, but old man Gu will not be killed. However, he will be seriously injured and will be bedridden for the next ten years.
It's just right that Miss Lin stays here so that she can take care of her father-in-law who is penniless and bedridden. What are you doing standing there? Why don't you run away and wait to be a free babysitter? She's only 26 years old, not old, and she can be a young and handsome guy again."
Lin Qingxue reacted immediately, lifted her skirt and ran back to her yard.
There was no way to fool Mrs. Gu. It was the first time she saw her elegant, well-behaved daughter-in-law do such an outrageous thing.
Even though Lin Jingxue failed to be persuaded, she refused to give up and followed him all the way.
Lin Qingxue ran back to the yard breathlessly and hurriedly ordered the Lin family servants who followed her, "Go to the storehouse and take away all my dowry. Chunxi, take your men to the bedroom to pack it up, and hurry up."
I'm afraid I'll have to stay and become a housemaid if I'm unhappy. It would be fine if I could inherit property, but I don't have a single silver dollar. Will I be left behind to inherit a sick old man?
She also thought it through. Now Gu Yunzhou has two sons and her daughter is gone. Even if nothing happens to the Gu family, she has nothing to do with the Gu family's property.
The Gu family is unable to provide help to the Lin family, and there is no point in her staying in the Gu family.
Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, all of which she had carefully taken care of, she said, "Spring plowing will take away these flowers in the yard as well."
Thinking that this yard was carefully taken care of by her, she decided to take everything away.
When Old Lady Gu arrived on tiptoe, the entire yard had been emptied. When she got closer, she saw that only the load-bearing walls were left. This shows how quick the Lin family's servants were.
The main reason was that the servants found it exciting to move other people's things, and they were having a lot of fun. If it weren't for the trouble of dismantling the roof, they would have even wanted to help the young lady move the beams.
Old Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes and fainted from anger. Lin Qingxue curled her lips and whispered, "Stingy."
She let the maids hurriedly help her away, and she left with her people in a grand manner.
Mr. Gu in the front yard did not win the argument over Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin refused to budge and insisted on taking his daughter away.
No matter what he said, Mr. Lin always looked at him with an attitude of, "Don't talk, I don't want to listen."
Lin Jingxue returned to the main hall and thought about the empty yard. She wondered what happened. She felt a little happy.
Even the tone of his voice was filled with joy, "Dad, I've packed everything."
"Well, let's go back then." Mr. Lin put down the teacup, stood up, patted his clothes, straightened the non-existent wrinkles on his robe, and walked out first with his hands behind his back. He didn't even bother to look at the old man again, let alone say a false farewell.
Old Master Gu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and the teacup in his hand also suffered.
