Chapter 118 The Last Wish of Father and Daughter in the 50s 8
A father and daughter came to the village who looked very much like Gu Xiaobao and his daughter, but they were only similar in appearance and there was no other similarity between them.
Fourth Aunt Gu was very kind to them. She would come to the stone house and sit for a while almost every day. Sometimes she would bring Chang'an some wild fruits, sometimes an egg, or homemade pancakes.
Gu Laoliu asked Dayi to buy candy, pastries, noodles, sugar and malted milk as a return gift. Fourth Aunt Gu often came to visit the father and daughter, and always brought gifts. Her son and daughter-in-law were very dissatisfied with this.
Even though they have already separated, they still regard the old couple's things as their property. Only they have the right to distribute them, and the old couple cannot make the decision at will. They also have their eyes on Gu Xiaobao's pension and now want to divide it up.
Gu Laoliu chose a rainy day when Fourth Aunt Gu's family was at home, and took Chang'an and gifts to thank Fourth Aunt Gu.
The pile of gifts immediately shut up the sons and daughters-in-law of the Gu family. Gu Laoliu and Chang'an had just arrived for a while when the village chief and Uncle Gu and his brothers also came.
After asking, I found out that Aunt Gu wanted to kick all her sons out and build a new house.
She also said very decisively: "We old couple want to sever ties with Gu Dabao and the other four brothers. In the future, even if my old man and I are too old to move, we don't need them to come to our house."
Fourth Aunt Gu was truly heartbroken. All her four sons had eyes for was Gu Xiaobao's pension and the few things in their house. In recent days, it had gone even further, as they had picked up the two eggs laid by the old hen every day.
The big goose that had been raised in the family for several years was also sent to the fourth daughter-in-law's parents' home. If she took it, the other three daughters-in-law would definitely take it too. Today she caught a chicken, and tomorrow another daughter-in-law would go to the old couple's house to look for other things.
She and the old man really couldn't stand it anymore, so they discussed kicking all four sons out. Anyway, they couldn't be relied on when they got old, so it was better to give up the idea now.
Aunt Gu wanted to persuade them to leave at least one, otherwise they would not be able to move anymore, who would serve them tea and water?
But before she could say anything, Uncle Gu stopped her and said, "Do you think any of these four brothers can be trusted? Don't let the fourth brother and his wife die at the hands of their own son."
Second Master Gu and Third Master Gu nodded in agreement. Who said it wasn't true? Among the four brothers, the fourth brother had the most sons, but the most filial one died. The four left behind were better than them when the fourth brother's wife raised the placenta.
Gu Dabao and his two brothers looked gloomy. Their parents wanted them to be criticized by people from all over the neighborhood. Except for the fifth brother, they were not their biological children?
Gu Erbao has always had a bad temper and is the one who likes to take the lead. "Mom, is it that serious? It's just that the wives of our brothers took some of your things. Aren't they going to leave them for us in the end? What's wrong with using them in advance?
Really, are there any parents like you? You wish your son couldn't even hold his head up high. "
Except for Gu Dabao's brothers and their wives and children, everyone in the room was disgusted by the shameless words.
It is true that an elderly person's things belong to them while they are alive and are inherited by their children after they die. However, if you snatch them from them without their consent, then you are wrong.
Without saying a word, the village chief quickly helped write a certificate of severance of relations. Everyone present signed it, even Gu Laoliu was asked to be a witness, and Chang'an also left a small paw print.
No matter how much the sons objected, Gu Laosi and Gu Si's aunt forced them to sign and seal their names, including their children, without giving them any chance to come back and take advantage.
Gu Dabao was still thinking about Gu Xiaobao's pension, "Dad, Mom, it's time to take out Xiaobao's pension and divide it equally among us, right?"
"Xiaobao is my son, so his pension is naturally left to me and my wife. What does it have to do with you? Gu Dabao, face is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have it."
Gu Laosi's cold eyes stared straight into Gu Dabao's heart, making him shiver. He felt like his real father could pick up a knife and chop him into pieces at any time.
But thinking about having to move out and build a house, which would cost a lot of money, he had to get the pension no matter what, "We are all Xiaobao's brothers, so naturally we should have a share of the pension."
"Then let's report it to the police and let them judge whether Xiaobao's pension has anything to do with you?" Fourth Aunt Gu was very tired. She didn't understand why these four sons became crooked as they grew up.
She remembered that they were very well behaved when they were young, so why did they change when they grew up?
When they heard that they had to report to the police, the four brothers Gu Dabao were all scared. No matter what era it was, the police were very intimidating.
Gu Sanbao pulled his eldest brother and whispered, "We definitely can't get the money from those two old men today. When the weather gets better and they go to work in the fields, we can come back and get it."
"You may leave now. You may take the things in your respective rooms with you, but don't take the extra things." Aunt Gu collected the receipt and started to drive them away. She would get angry if she looked at them for even a second longer. For the sake of her own health, she decided to let them go out in the rain.
Gu Erbao was not happy again. "It's raining so hard outside. Where do you want us to go? How can you be so cruel?"
They never thought that it was because of them that Fourth Aunt Gu was so cruel. If they had considered their old mother a little, they would not have been kicked out of the house.
No one else in the room tried to persuade Aunt Gu. This was a sin that Gu Dabao and the others had committed, so let them bear the consequences themselves.
Seeing that no one spoke up for them, the four brothers angrily took their wives and children back to their rooms to pack up their things. The village chief and his men were not in a hurry to leave either, as they were really afraid that the four brothers would attack the old couple.
Gu Sibao's family was the first to finish cleaning up. "Uncle Village Chief, are there any empty houses in the village?"
"No, you can stay at your wife's parents' home first. When the weather clears up, I will approve a homestead for you. Of course, if you want to settle down there, you can do so, but you must remember to come back and register your household registration."
The village chief said indifferently that there were really no vacant houses in the village. There was a large empty yard, but it had an owner and did not belong to the village collective.
Gu Sibao originally wanted to ask if the four brothers could live in the big yard first, but he didn't expect the village chief to directly ask them to go to his wife's parents' home, blocking his words.
Old Fourth Son Gu and Aunt Fourth Son Gu looked at their four sons drowning in the heavy rain, tears streaming down their cheeks.
Just like a tumor growing in the body, even though it is bad flesh, it will still hurt when it is cut off.
No one disturbed the old couple, they just put on their hats and left quietly.
When Gu Laoliu and Chang'an left, they put a peace talisman on each of the old couple, and then put an invisibility talisman on their money box. Only the old couple who put the money in could see it, no one else could see it.
Gu Laoliu heard what Gu Sanbao said to Gu Dabao just now. The old couple had no children to rely on, so they should at least have some money in their hands so that they could live.
