The old home of the Gu family.

The first and third wives were discussing Liu Damai's visit to Gu Xiang and Gu Heng.

Gu Xiang was an honest man, and he used to listen to his mother the most. As long as his mother pestered him a little more, he would definitely soften his heart.

Although Gu Heng was not as stupid as Gu Xiang, he was also a filial son and was very good to his parents.

As long as his mother went to him and complained to him, he would definitely not have the heart to kick her out.

If mom acts more pitiful, maybe Gu Heng will give her some pension.

After getting the benefits from the second and fourth rooms, they moved their family to Zhoujia Village.

They have been given a clear promise that as long as they accomplish this task, they will be allocated housing plots and fields.

Humph, this small Tuniu Village is shabby and poor, they don’t want to live there!

Thinking about the Zhou family's plan again, Gu De and Gu Rui felt secretly happy.

This is all owed to them by Gu Qinghuai!

Last time, that bitch beat up the kids in the family, and the medical expenses alone cost seven or eight taels of silver. Add to that the things they smashed, and the total cost is probably more than twenty taels.

As a result, the family's financial situation deteriorated drastically.

Moreover, although the boys’ legs were reconnected, they still walked with a limp, and the faces of several girls were completely ruined, making it difficult for them to get married in the future.

What made them most angry was that everyone in the village tried to curry favor with Gu Qinghuai and became less and less fond of them.

Gu Rui's wife, Yu, suddenly sighed with regret, "The Fourth Brother's family is lucky. Perhaps we shouldn't have driven them out. If we had just endured for two or three years, wouldn't we be enjoying the good life with the Fourth Brother and his family now? They have more than a dozen servants now! The Fourth Brother's children are raised like young masters and young ladies!"

The fourth brother's family ran a soap business and employed slaves, but her family still had to dig in the soil for food, working as hard as dogs every day. Her own children and grandchildren were becoming more and more like peasants. Such a strong contrast made her feel very unwilling.

Looking back, all of this was the mother-in-law's fault. If the mother-in-law didn't dislike the fourth room and deliberately made trouble for her, they wouldn't have followed suit.

The old woman was too short-sighted and it brought them harm.

Yu developed a strong resentment towards Liu Damai.

“What’s the point of saying that now? Who could have thought that three years later Gu Qingshan’s spine would be healed and Lao Si’s head would be healed?” Gu Rui rolled his eyes at her.

Gu De also nodded and sneered: "Yes, it is impossible for us to support Lao Yangsi's family for three years for nothing!"

Gu De's wife Liu Quancha also had a face full of resentment: "We shouldn't have agreed to the second branch's separation. Without those animals from the second branch, we have to do all the housework by ourselves. I'm so tired! Bah, it's all Su's fault, that troublemaker, that bitch! If she hadn't instigated it, how could the second brother, that idiot, have separated the family?"

After the second wife was separated, they realized how much work the second wife had done before. Without the second wife, nothing in the house could function properly.

The third brother's family are all very cunning and they don't work hard at all.

The first and third wives often quarreled over work issues, and Gu De was very protective of that old bitch Yu, so Liu Quancha did most of the housework.

She was so tired that her skin was dark and rough, but Yu's skin was delicate and tender, which made her feel indignant.

Liu Damai heard that both daughters-in-law were regretful and resentful, so he frowned, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong? Are you rebelling? Do you think your mother-in-law did something wrong?!"

In fact, she also regretted it. She didn't regret not treating the second and fourth rooms well, but she regretted separating them too early.

Those two bastards should work like slaves for her all their lives and live worse than pigs and dogs!

But unexpectedly, their lives are getting better and better, while De'er and Rui'er's conditions are getting worse day by day.

She was so angry!

"How can my mother-in-law be wrong? The ones who are wrong are the ungrateful bastards from the second and fourth rooms! They are beasts that cannot even support a family!" Liu Quancha immediately expressed his opinion, smiling obsequiously on his dark face.

But Liu Damai is her biological aunt, so no matter what, she will always stand on her side.

Yu pushed her hair behind her ears and said with an insincere smile: "Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. What I mean is that the second and fourth wives should work hard for us all their lives and should not enjoy the good life alone. Even if they don't care about us, they can't be unfilial to you and dad."

Liu Damai then glanced at the two of them and said unhappily, "You two should behave yourself! I'll go find Gu Xiang first, and then Gu Heng. You just watch what happens, and don't let your mother get beaten to death!"

She was very afraid of that little whore Gu Qinghuai.

Gu De comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. We will be watching from a distance. You will have to endure some suffering this time, and try to kill the second and fourth wives."

Yu glanced at Gu De, and said to Liu Damai with a smile, "Mom, remember this, today you are mainly playing the victim, pretending to be pitiful, and getting some money back. If those ungrateful people curse you, you must hold back even if you are angry, and never confront them head-on. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person, so you have to give in. That bitch Gu Qinghuai doesn't take filial piety seriously, if you anger that bully, be careful that she will hit you."

Liu Damai's eyelids jumped at what Yu said. He glared at her and said, "I know. Do I need you to remind me?"

Yu looked embarrassed, smiled stiffly and stopped talking.

While the Gu family was discussing how to plot against the second and fourth rooms in the old house, Old Man Gu was hiding in a forest not far from Gu Qinghuai's house.

Hearing that the fourth brother's head had recovered, he was very happy and wanted to go to the fourth room's house to see the fourth brother. However, he was afraid of being turned away, so he had to hide far away and wait for Gu Heng to go out so that he could secretly take a few glances at him.

On the other side, Liu Damai deliberately wore a tattered piece of clothes with patches on top of patches, carried an empty bamboo basket in his hand, and walked straight to Gu Xiang's house.

When she arrived at Gu Xiang's house, Liu Damai saw that everyone in the second room was busy in the yard, so she called out "Xiang'er" affectionately several times through the fence. In the end, no one paid any attention to her.

She cursed the second wife in her heart, then sat down outside the fence and began to cry with snot and tears: "Xiang'er, last time that whore Gu Qinghuai not only beat up my great-grandson, but also smashed my house to pieces. The old house suffered heavy losses. My life is so hard now!

"Xiang'er, you are my good son, and you have been the most filial to me. You can't just ignore me! I don't want much, just give me five taels of silver to help me through this difficult time. I will never bother you again."

Gu Xiang, Su Shi and Gu Zhiyuan were all in the yard smoothing over mud and making bricks, pretending not to hear Liu Damai's crying.

Huai'er said that the papermaking technique must be well preserved and must not be allowed to be peeped by outsiders, so the fence in the yard had to be demolished and a high wall had to be rebuilt.

"Xiang'er, you are my biological son. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you with great difficulty. I almost died of dystocia. How can you be so heartless and ungrateful that you don't even care about me?" Liu Damai wiped away non-existent tears, his eyes moving rapidly.

She was secretly observing the villagers around her, and sure enough, many people heard her crying and ran over to watch the fun.

"Xiang'er, you, the second branch, are so nice to the fourth branch, but Gu Qinghuai doesn't take you seriously at all. That bitch would rather give the secret recipe of sugar making to the Meng family than to you. You are nothing in his eyes!"
