Chapter 519: One slap can’t make a sound

"What can I do?"

Old Mrs. Gu was panicking. She couldn't accept that her golden grandson wouldn't be able to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future.

Ruinian can't lift anything with his shoulders or hands, and he can't do anything other than holding a pen. What future does it have for him to go back to Qinghe Bay to farm?

The most important thing is that this golden grandson is the hope for the rise of the old house and the second branch.

If Gu Ruinian failed the imperial examination, her eldest daughter-in-law would become extremely arrogant and would not take her, her mother-in-law, seriously.

Being held in the grip of her eldest daughter-in-law with no way to break free, she might as well die.

Mr. Gu was silent for a while.

Gu Youtian, who had been silent the whole time, stared coldly at Gu Ruinian and had completely given up on this useless son.

Since he is a waste, the doctor just now should not have been invited.

"Mom, I'm different from Gu Daqiao."

Gu Ruinian finally spoke.

The way his whole family looked at him as if he were a piece of trash was more painful to him than having the tendons in his legs cut.

Jia burst into tears. Her prosperous years, the son she had placed her hopes on, the son who she hoped would pass the imperial examination and be proud of himself, the son who had promised to win an imperial decree for her, were all ruined like this.

Her son's leg was broken, and he endured the severe pain and comforted her. How could she bear to see such a filial son destroyed?

It’s all Xu Zaohua’s fault, it’s all that bitch Xu Zaohua’s fault.

She is not a womanizer, she is promiscuous, and she brings disaster to the years to come.

That's right.

It was Xu Zaohua who ruined Ruinian.

Jia suddenly stood up and rushed out barefoot.

Gu Youtian shouted angrily: "Where are you going? Aren't you tired of the chaos?"

Jia cried bitterly, "I'm going to kill that whore. I'm going to kill Xu Zaohua. It was that whore who ruined my son."

Wei and Xiaoxue came over and held Jia on the left and right. Gu Honglian pulled Jia's clothes and persuaded her, "Second sister-in-law, what's the point of you killing Xu Zaohua? Killing her won't get you Ruinian's legs."

Jia's body trembled and she was about to fall down.

Wei and Xiaoxue took the opportunity to carry Jia back into the house.

The petty Gu Honglian was still thinking about the piece of satin that Lu Zhaozhao had given her. She saw Liu Yue'e wearing the same one, which made Liu Yue'e look fair-skinned and beautiful. Compared with Liu Yue'e who had already given birth to a child, wouldn't she, a young lady waiting to be married, look better in it?

She hated the selfishness of her second sister-in-law and nephew.

"Second sister-in-law scolded Zaohua loudly just now. In my opinion, it takes two to tango. Xu Zaohua wants to hook up with Ruinian, but it depends on whether Ruinian is willing to take the bait. The same goes for Ruinian. Once Xu Zaohua gives him a hook, he bites it. He moves faster than a fish in water. Ruinian has a brain that can't judge people, and second sister-in-law still expects him to study and win an imperial decree for you. I think second sister-in-law is counting on a wrong thing." Gu Honglian glanced at Gu Ruinian, who was in so much pain on the bed that sweat broke out on his forehead, with a look of gloating on her face.

"Jingzhe is smarter than Ruinian. When I was chatting with Pan Di at my sister-in-law's pig farm, Chunni said that Xu Zaohua had blocked Ruinian many times in the village but failed to seduce him away. What happened to Ruinian? How could he be seduce away with just one seduce?"

Gu Honglian continued to stab.

"Okay, Honglian, stop talking." Old Man Gu shouted angrily.

Gu Honglian was not convinced and pouted, "Why should I say less? Ruinian gave my second brother some advice in the south and bankrupted the family business. I used my remaining dowry to send him to the provincial capital for the exam but he failed. He sold my satin to study but hooked up with Xu Zaohua. He was the one who did all the bad things, but you treat him like a treasure. Ruinian, you should wake up. You are not cut out for studying or doing great things. You are just a country farmer in Qinghe Bay."

"Second sister-in-law, you should look to someone else. You have a grandson. I heard from Man'er that Master Su boasted that he was the third smartest child in the village, after Man'er and Xiaolong."

These words cut Gu Ruinian's heart into pieces like a knife. Jia looked at Gu Honglian with a pair of flaming eyes.

Originally, Gu Honglian had more unpleasant words waiting to be said, but when she saw that Old Man Gu had an unhappy expression, she snorted and stopped talking.

Wei looked at Gu Honglian with admiration. Although this little aunt was lazy and greedy, and would do bad things from time to time, what she said today was exactly what she wanted.

Only the aunt could speak so recklessly to make Gu Ruinian face reality.

This is what she had wanted to say for a long time.

If it wasn't inappropriate, she would have wanted to ask Gu Honglian when Man'er had mentioned that her Yao family had been praised by Master Su. The Yao family had never told her about this.

Speaking of the Yao family, Wei wanted to go back to Qinghe Bay.

Yao's family is now being looked after by Second Grandma in the village. I wonder if he misses his mother recently.

"What does the success of the Yao family have to do with you? Ruinian is successful enough to find a good husband's family for you. By the time the Yao family is successful enough to support you, how old will you be?" Jia mocked Gu Honglian.

Old Lady Gu loved her grandson and her daughter dearly, and she couldn't bear to blame either of them, so she targeted her daughter-in-law and scolded Jia, "Don't worry about Honglian's marriage."

Then she turned to Gu Honglian and said, "As an aunt, don't be petty. Rui Nian was really tricked by Xu Zaohua this time."

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't enter the Zheng family's courtyard, Old Lady Gu would have wanted to tie up Xu Zaohua and drown her in the pond.

Old Man Gu has already accepted the fact that his grandson cannot study or be appointed as an official, but he instantly looks ten years older.

Mr. Gu has always been a person who sees things more clearly than others. He asked Gu Ruinian, "Ruinian, why did the Zheng family release you so quickly?"

This was the question he wanted to ask since he was thrown back from Ruinian.

It's easy to figure out with your toes. Gu Ruinian made his family suffer such a great humiliation, and he might even be beaten to death, but the Zheng family let Gu Ruinian go. How could the Zheng family be willing to do that? He was afraid that there would be greater trouble later, so he had to ask clearly.

Wei looked at Mr. Gu. She also had doubts about this, but she didn't dare to ask.

"This is not Ruinian's fault, it's their daughter-in-law's fault. They are in the wrong." Jia still spoke up for her son with a stubborn look.

Old Master Gu glared at Jia fiercely.

Gu Ruinian endured the severe pain in his right leg, opened his eyes and looked at Old Man Gu, then quickly closed his eyes again.

"Zheng family..." Gu Ruinian slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Old Man Gu, "Zheng family needs my help."

He originally wanted to say that he was useful to the Zheng family, but the humiliation he suffered in the Zheng family made him unable to speak out.

Gu Youtian's eyes widened, and he turned and said angrily: "The Zheng family needs your help? What kind of help can you provide? You little bastard, you still don't tell the truth now, right? I will beat you to death, you unfilial son."

Gu Youtian couldn't stand it anymore. Even at this time, this useless son still looked down on everyone in the Gu family.

He spent all the family money and brought disaster to the family time and time again. How dare he look down on his family?

"Dad, don't be impulsive." Gu Fengnian stopped Gu Youtian.

There was no other way but to stop him. After injuring Gu Ruinian, he had to ask a doctor. The money he had just asked the doctor to fill was the money that Wei had obtained by pawning her dowry bracelet. He didn't want to fill the hole for Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian looked at Gu Youtian coldly and said, "Dad, don't you think about it? If the Zheng family doesn't need my help and I don't have what the Zheng family wants, how can they let me out? Xu Zaohua, the daughter-in-law who gave birth to their eldest grandson, was sent to the family temple."
