Chapter 437 The Conflict between Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law

Gu Ruinian raised his head and looked at his sister-in-law in surprise.

He didn't understand why his sister-in-law suddenly went crazy.

The first thing that came to my mind was that people are indeed flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. When he brought hope to the family in the past, my sister-in-law did not have this attitude.

Gu Ruinian glanced at Wei and continued to pick up food.

Wei pointed at Gu Ruinian and said, "Ruinian, you are not a child anymore. You keep talking about etiquette all day long, but do you have any etiquette when eating? Before I married into the Gu family, I didn't know that someone could eat all the delicious food on the table without caring about others."

"There are not only you at the table, but also grandparents and elders, and you only pick up the good meat and vegetables to eat? Where is the filial piety you talk about? You said you would not forget us when you become rich, but now you are snatching even a bite of food. I think when you become rich, the first thing you will do is to get rid of us poor relatives."

Wei's words caused the dinner table to fall into silence.

Old Mrs. Gu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Old Man Gu.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law borrowed money today to pay for her mother-in-law's medical treatment. She was busy running around. If she wants to vent her anger, let her vent it.

Old Man Gu was afraid that he and Old Lady Gu would defend Gu Ruinian and annoy his granddaughter-in-law so that she would quit. After all, he still wanted his granddaughter-in-law to pawn the jewelry given by her parents to support Gu Ruinian's studies.

Old Mrs. Gu uttered in a resentful voice. Gu Ruinian put down his chopsticks and looked at Gu Fengnian.

He hopes that his elder brother can stand up and protect him.

Don’t blame him for eating alone, blame his family for being too poor.

The reason why the sister-in-law blamed him today was because she failed the exam.

If you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, you will have a completely different attitude.

Why does my eldest brother need a sister-in-law who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak, and loves the rich and the poor?

Normally, Gu Fengnian would defend Gu Ruinian and scold Wei, but this time he avoided Gu Ruinian's gaze.

Wei was right. It would be better to support your own son to study than to support Ruinian to study.

How can a younger brother be as close as a son?

There is a private school in the village, and every family with a son will tighten their belts to send their son to the private school. Now his son is the only one in the village who has not gone to the private school.

It would have been fine if Gu Ruinian could pass the exam and become a scholar, but in the end he failed.

According to his family's wishes, Rui Nian will continue his studies, so he and the whole family will continue to support him.

Gu Fengnian has been a little shaken by the brainwashing of Wei in recent days.

"Ruinian, your sister-in-law is right. You are such a glutton for food. We usually give you the best food, but you can't always think about yourself. Apart from anything else, shouldn't grandpa and grandma eat the best food first when they are old? And your sister-in-law and Xiaoxue work every day, shouldn't they eat the best food first? It's okay for you to eat behind closed doors, but Taohua Dahan and the others always see you eating alone when they come to deliver food to grandpa and grandma. If it gets out, people will say that our family is ill-mannered."

Gu Fengnian avoided Gu Ruinian's eyes and said this.

Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his brainwashing was correct.

Gu Ruinian clenched his teeth.

He didn't expect that his brother, who always listened to him, had become a stranger.

I had misjudged my brother. I thought he was a good person to me, but he was just like my sister-in-law, a flatterer and a bully.

Otherwise, why do they say that two different people can sleep in the same bed.

He just failed the exam, and his whole family mourned for him as if someone had died.

Just wait, one day they will regret it.

Although Gu Ruinian was not full and was not in the mood to stay at the table, he stood up and went back to his room.

Wei sneered. What a good son his mother-in-law is. He came out of the room and never asked how his mother was doing.

His mother's life or death has nothing to do with him.

So cold-blooded and so selfish.

Wei picked up some meat for Xiaoxue and Fengnian respectively and said, "Eat. It would be a shame not to eat such delicious food."

Mr. Gu felt very unhappy.

He didn't know how to tell Wei that he had pawned the hairpin given by his parents to send Gu Ruinian to study in a private school in town.

"Grandpa, don't say that I have a problem with Ruinian. I said today that he is doing it for his own good. I heard that Jingzhe used to be cold and selfish, but he changed under the training of Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao told me that in order to temper Jingzhe's temper, she made him do farm work in the fields for several months. It was only after being tempered by the farm work that he started to work hard in his studies, and he immediately won the first place in the case." Wei said to Grandpa Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu said, "Your aunt is not doing things in a proper way."

Wei said: "It's a strange family that raised a son who won the first prize in the case."

Old Mrs. Gu was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Mr. Gu coughed twice and said to Wei: "Just say what you want to say?"

Wei said, "My second brother is about the same age as Jingzhe. Grandpa, put aside your closeness to Ruinian, and just look at it from the perspective of an outsider. Who is more sensible, Ruinian or Jingzhe? Anyone can see that Jingzhe is more sensible. Since our business failed and we have been tightening our belts, we have never treated my second brother badly. We have fed him good food and drinks, supported him to study, and raised him to be completely inconsiderate of the family. Many students go to the exams on foot, but he chose to hire a carriage. So my second brother's failure this time cannot be completely attributed to an accident."

"Second brother should think about the family. The family should not continue to indulge him like this."

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help it and said, "Then what do you want?"

Wei said, "If Jingzhe can work in the fields, why can't he? If you don't want to work in the fields, you can go to the town or the county to work as an accountant to make a living. In short, my second brother can't continue to stay at home and do nothing in the name of studying."

Mr. Gu took a breath.

Old Lady Gu started to scold: "I told you not to enter the main room. You went in once today and now you have become as vicious as Tong Da Jiao."

Old Mrs. Gu firmly believed that Wei was led astray by Tong Huaqiong.

"Why does your brother-in-law study day and night? It's just to help our family improve its status. We don't have the money to support his studies, and you still want him to work outside. You are just like Tong Da Jiao, you can't even tolerate your brother-in-law. You are just jealous that Rui Nian can study."

It was bad enough that she was scolded by her mother-in-law, but she couldn't stand being scolded by Old Lady Gu, who was a generation away from her.

Wei said: "Why is our family so poor? Grandpa and grandma, let me tell you the truth..."

Gu Fengnian kicked Wei under the table and interrupted her: "Stop arguing, eat, eat."

Even though Wei was not allowed to speak, she insisted on saying why she should protect Gu Ruinian's image.

Wei said, "Our family is living like this, all thanks to Ruinian. He thought he was smart and looked down on everyone, including our small business, so he decided to invest in the escort agency and promised Dad that he would make money so that Dad would trust him. Just like he promised that he could pass the imperial examination, Dad invested all the family's money in it, but ended up being cheated out of everything, including my mother's money. I am too ashamed to visit my mother's family."

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, and defended Rui Nian, "He is also doing this for the good of the family. He wants to make money for the family."

Wei sneered, "If the money is gone, it's gone. In business, there are losses and gains. But Ruinian's idea made him lose money in business but he just acted like a boss at home, doing nothing but getting all the benefits. If he had a little guilt and knew he was wrong, I wouldn't have a problem with him."

As Wei spoke, tears of grievance began to flow.
