Chapter 464 Wolf Ambition
"Okay, you guys discuss it. Tell me the result after you've discussed it."
Tong Huaqiong raised her butt and was about to leave.
"By the way, here's a life-saving pill for you. If you have another attack, take one."
Out of respect for life, Tong Huaqiong left the quick-acting heart-saving pills to Mr. Gu.
Anyway, it’s in the space and she can take it from it at any time.
Mr. Gu took the medicine bottle.
Old Mrs. Gu had a sullen look on her face, and Mrs. Jia looked furious.
Tong Huaqiong walked through the crowd in the old house. When she passed by Gu Ruinian, she looked at Gu Ruinian meaningfully, and then walked out of the Gu family's old house.
Gu Taohua and Gu Jingzhe followed out together.
"aunt."
Before they knew it, it was already dark, and Gu Ruinian chased out in the moonlight.
Tong Huaqiong saw Gu Ruinian pinching the corner of his clothes in the moonlight and asked directly, "Why? Do you want to be my son?"
She knew that Gu Ruinian would be tempted by her proposal, but she never expected that he would chase her out so quickly.
Are you so eager to be her son?
Gu Ruinian bit his lip tightly and said, "I will be filial to you, Auntie."
Tong Huaqiong said: "It's useless for you to say that. We can only open the ancestral temple after your parents agree to this."
Tong Huaqiong walked towards home without waiting for Gu Ruinian's reaction.
Although I knew that Gu Ruinian was tempted by the proposal of being adopted by the eldest wife, I didn't expect him to be so impatient.
wild ambition.
The people in the old house treated him very well and treated him like a golden egg. No matter how poor his family was, he never suffered any injustice, especially Jia, who was completely devoted to him.
He chased her out in front of Jia.
He didn't care about his mother's feelings at all.
Even though he came through time, he has enjoyed Jia's love for so many years.
If she were Jia, she would have wanted to chop this guy to pieces.
"Mom, Gu Ruinian is full of bad intentions. Do you really want to adopt him as your adopted son? He is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed." Gu Taohua asked in confusion.
She doesn't want to have an ungrateful brother.
Gu Jingzhe said: "Second uncle will definitely not agree."
Tong Huaqiong said: "Jingzhe is right, your second uncle will not agree."
Gu Taohua then said with relief: "Mother, are you sure that Second Uncle won't agree, so you proposed to let Ruinian be adopted by our family?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "Yes and no."
However, she did not explain the specific reason.
But Gu Jingzhe understood.
Even though Gu Ruinian failed the exam, he was the biggest threat to their family in Qinghe Bay.
If he had calmed down and taken the imperial examination seriously, there was no guarantee of what kind of achievements he would have made.
When he achieved success, the first people to take action would definitely be Gu Jingzhe and the people from the first house.
So his mother deliberately proposed that he be adopted by the eldest wife as the heir. Gu Ruinian was willing, but Gu Youtian and his wife were not willing. Gu Ruinian would definitely try to persuade Gu Youtian.
Gu Jingzhe knew his second uncle very well. Gu Youtian had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he might not want his son to use the resources of the first wife. But he was the only one who could come up with this idea. If Gu Ruinian was willing to abandon him and go to another father, he would think that Gu Ruinian despised him for being poor and incompetent, and thus developed a grudge and hatred towards his son.
This will reduce investment in Gu Ruinian.
Without the full devotion of the old house and the second wife, how could Gu Ruinian study without worries?
Then the first wife would no longer have the threat of Gu Ruinian.
However, Gu Jingzhe only guessed half right.
The other half is only understood by Tong Huaqiong.
As a fellow villager of the same generation as Gu Ruinian, she knows Gu Ruinian's thoughts too well.
Gu Ruinian looks at the world with the attitude of a superior person. Except for him, everyone else is an ant.
His life is life, others' lives are just grass.
Traveling to this world, Gu Ruinian is ambitious and firmly believes that the protagonist's halo can do everything.
Once he gets the chance, he will step on the lives of ants to rise to power and turn the world upside down.
So she wanted to cut off Gu Ruinian's chance of moving up.
He was trapped in the trivialities and suspicions of the old house, and his aura as the protagonist was completely worn out.
......
After Gu Ruinian expressed his willingness to be adopted to Tong Huaqiong, he returned to the old house, and it was time for dinner.
Gu Xiaoxue put the food on the table, but no one had any appetite.
Everyone in the old house was shocked by Tong Huaqiong's shameless proposal. Except for Wei, no one noticed that Gu Ruinian had gone out.
When Gu Ruinian returned to the room, Wei glanced at him with a sarcastic look on her face.
You want to be the eldest wife's son, but you don't even consider whether you are worthy of it.
Gu Ruinian felt that he had nowhere to hide under his eldest sister-in-law's meaningful gaze and was filled with anger. If he became successful, the first thing he would do was to instigate his eldest brother to divorce his eldest sister-in-law.
Old Mrs. Gu kept cursing.
"Tong Da Jiao's heart is getting more and more vicious. She just can't stand seeing You Tian have a good son."
"The root cause of today's incident is Tong Da Jiao's inhumanity. I suspect that it was she who instigated Lu Zhaozhao to give Honglian a piece of satin, hoping to create a rift between Ruinian and Honglian. How come she only gave one piece of satin?"
"She wants Ruinian to be her son, but she's dreaming."
Jia just kept crying.
What does father-in-law mean?
What is there to discuss? Ruinian is her son. As long as she and Youtian are alive, it is impossible for Ruinian to be adopted out.
At the same time, he felt guilty for not being able to provide Gu Ruinian with a good life.
My son has already suffered enough, and now he has to endure the humiliation from Tong Dajiao.
Fortunately, Ruinian is not a person who despises the poor and loves the rich.
The family finished their dinner, each with their own thoughts.
Wei took Gu Xiaoxue to clean the kitchen, while Gu Fengnian took Yao Jia to take a bath.
Gu Ruinian seized the opportunity to ask Grandpa Gu: "Grandpa, do you also want to adopt me to the eldest wife?"
Mrs. Gu followed up with, "Ruinian, don't be afraid. Your grandfather is not so foolish."
Gu Ruinian ignored Old Lady Gu, thinking to himself that the old woman knew nothing.
Jia also felt that Mr. Gu's talk of discussing it was just a way for Tong Huaqiong to save face, and he would never really adopt Gu Ruinian into the first wife's family.
Mr. Gu pondered for a moment and said, "From the perspective of being good to you, you should indeed be adopted by the eldest wife."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jia, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were stunned.
Old Lady Gu said, "What are you talking about, old man? The first wife has three sons, and the second wife only has two sons. Ruinian will be laughed at to death if he is adopted by the first wife."
Jia said, "Dad, Ruinian is my son. As long as I am alive, he cannot be adopted by the eldest wife. I will go to my mother's house tomorrow to borrow money for Ruinian's studies."
Gu Ruinian thought with disdain, it is said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run, and Jia Shi didn't love him that much either.
Jia used him as a tool to bring honor to the family and win imperial decrees.
Just relying on the Jia family, his grandfather, a small peddler, had enough money to lend him for his studies.
Mr. Gu sighed and turned to ask Gu Ruinian: "Ruinian, what do you think?"
Gu Ruinian glanced at Jia and said, "If I agree with Grandpa, it will definitely hurt Mother's heart."
Sure enough, when Jia heard what Gu Ruinian said, she couldn't help crying.
Gu Honglian said sarcastically, "Second sister-in-law, why are you crying? You are poorer than the eldest sister-in-law. You can't rely on robbing others' silk to keep your son."
"You've wasted your efforts, but Rui Nian doesn't appreciate it at all and doesn't even want your mother anymore."
Gu Honglian thought, how lucky is Gu Ruinian to be the eldest wife's son.
If she were Gu Ruinian, she would definitely follow the first wife without hesitation.
She also wanted to live a good life like her sister-in-law.
