The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children
Chapter 412: The grievance of eating alone
"Brother Dahan, your pork is delicious and not smelly."
Gu Ruinian was eating so much that his mouth was drooling and he couldn't help but praise the delicious pork that Gu Dahan sent.
Since I had satisfied my craving at Fengle Building at noon and didn’t taste the meat carefully, I can savor this bowl of meat carefully now that I’m not hungry at night.
It’s no wonder that the bowl of meat that Gu Dahan sent didn’t taste like the pork he made at home. It had a pungent smell that couldn’t be removed no matter whether it was braised or stir-fried.
Gu Dahan did not answer, but pushed the meat in front of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.
Gu Ruinian was a little stunned.
This Gu Dahan came to interfere with the dinner table at the old house.
"Grandpa, grandma, this meat is a gift to you as a filial piety." Gu Dahan said.
Mr. Gu didn't want to eat it at first, but he couldn't resist the aroma of the meat, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Old Mrs. Gu stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece for each of her sons Gu Youtian, Gu Fengnian, Gu Yaojia, and Gu Honglian, and pushed the meat back in front of Gu Ruinian.
Except for men and Gu Honglian, women are not qualified to eat meat.
Seeing her mother-in-law push the meat back to her younger son, Jia's expression changed from ugly to good-looking.
When Wei saw that her son also had meat in his bowl, she didn't say anything.
Gu Ruinian didn't care at all and continued to pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it on the rice.
I sighed in my heart. The reason why my grandmother, mother and sister couldn't eat meat was that our family was too poor. I had to find a way to improve the family's food.
Gu Dahan couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Gu Ruinian, "Ruinian, my family gave you the meat to honor our grandparents, and I have no right to interfere. But you can't eat it alone. Your nephew Yaojia is a growing child, and the porridge in Xiaoxue's bowl is so big that you can see his reflection. Do you have the nerve to eat it alone?"
Wei raised his eyes.
Her parents-in-law always speak ill of the eldest wife. In her opinion, both the overbearing and unreasonable Gu Taohua and the stubborn Gu Dahan are more humane than Gu Ruinian.
Gu Ruinian was unhappy, put down his chopsticks, and said with a wronged look: "Brother Dahan, do you think I want to eat alone? My grandparents gave me the good food because they care about me. If I don't eat it, it would hurt their hearts and be unfilial."
Do you want to eat alone? It's because your family is poor.
Since the family is poor, resources should be concentrated on the most promising one in the family.
It’s not his fault. It’s Gu Fengnian’s fault for being a loser.
He has neither the ability to do business nor the talent for studying.
He will take his whole family to ascend to heaven in the future, so it is not right for him to eat one more bite.
Gu Dahan was stunned by Gu Ruinian's logic. He ate while others watched him. What kind of bullshit filial piety was this?
"Ruinian, you are a scholar and I can't compare with you in making crooked arguments. But your sister Xiaoxue is so thin and has to wash clothes and do housework for you. How can you bear to eat alone in front of her?"
Gu Dahan decided not to reason with Gu Ruinian, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat and put it in the bowl in front of Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue smiled gratefully at Gu Dahan and said softly, "Brother Dahan, I just need some porridge."
Xiaoxue doesn't want any conflicts at home!
What Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jia wanted to say was interrupted by Gu Ruinian. He held his anger and told Gu Dahan that he was inconsiderate and did not consider other people.
Of course, he was not really giving in, but he was worried that the eldest wife would get angry and not send food to his grandparents.
"Grandpa, I have one more thing to say." Gu Dahan's expression eased a little, and he said to Grandpa Gu, "I went home to discuss with my mother. Most of the 50 acres of land in the west have been rented out and it's difficult to take it back. I still want to grow cotton on the remaining 30 acres. The five acres of land next to our river beach can be rented to Grandpa, and the rent is 30% of the harvest. Other families pay 40%."
Mr. Gu’s face was frozen.
He said that this grandson was a fool. Did he want to rent the land?
In the form of leasing land, he put pressure on Tong Huaqiong to allocate a few acres of land to the old house.
He actually treated the people living in the old house as tenants.
Seeing that Mr. Gu didn't look very happy, Gu Dahan turned to ask Gu Youtian, who had been silent the whole time, "Second Uncle, what do you think?"
Gu Dahan realized it on the way here, and was afraid that this land was rented to his second uncle by Old Man Gu himself.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Gu don't need to rent the land at all, as long as they separate from the second branch, Tong Huaqiong will not ignore them.
There is no life of great wealth and luxury, but at least you will have simple meals to eat and warm clothes to wear.
Gu Youtian said without even looking up: "I'll listen to your grandfather on this matter."
He's going to do business eventually.
Wei's idea suddenly moved, and she kicked Gu Fengnian under the table. She wanted Gu Fengnian to come forward and rent the land.
Before, she had been thinking like everyone else in the old house that since the eldest wife was so rich, could she give some to the second wife, or lend the second wife the capital. Now it seemed that the eldest lady was more resourceful than anyone else in the old house.
She was a pragmatic person. Since she couldn't get any benefits from the eldest wife, she might as well take what was given to her.
First, rent these five acres of land and cultivate it well. The remaining 70% will be enough for your own use.
Gu Fengnian withdrew his foot.
It's not his turn to decide this matter.
Wei lowered her head to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
"Dahan, can you give me ten acres of the remaining thirty acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain? If I have any other way, I would not be so shameless as to ask you for help." Old Man Gu said, suppressing his anger.
Gu Dahan shook his head and said, "Grandpa, this is not something I can decide. The five acres of land on the riverbank are also very fertile. Last year, our wheat harvest from those five acres was very good. If you want, you can plant corn directly after the wheat is harvested in May this year. It won't delay anything."
Mr. Gu frowned.
Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help but slam the table and said, "Why don't you give it to us now? Do you have to wait until May?"
Gu Dahan said: "Of course, there are still crops in the land now."
Old Mrs. Gu's chest heaved with anger.
The five acres of land on the riverbank belonged to her eldest son when he was alive. Now that he is dead, it should belong to her and Mr. Gu.
Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, "You plant corn in May, so we have nothing to eat before that? Since your family has so much land and you are not short of food now, you can rent these five acres to me now, and I will give you 30% when the wheat is harvested."
Gu Dahan said, "Grandpa, last time my mother told the clan that she would not ignore you and grandma, and we will provide for your daily meals. But our family can only support you and grandma, and at most my aunt, so my second uncle's family is not under our care, right?"
Gu Youtian threw down his chopsticks and said, "Who eats and drinks from your house?"
Gu Dahan continued, "Grandpa, this matter is not impossible to discuss. If I rent the five acres of land on the riverbank to you now, it will not be divided according to 30% and 70%, but 70% and 30%."
This was the result of discussion between Gu Dahan and Tong Huaqiong.
They planted the wheat and tilled the land.
According to past experience, the Qinghewan area always has good weather during the wheat harvest season, and the people in the old house only need to work hard to water the fields and harvest and they can get 30% of the harvest for free.
Tong Huaqiong has been very generous with this plan.
