Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

The person who spoke was Li Dayong.

Everyone then realized, "Yes, Dayong used to work in a machinery factory."

Since Li Dayong sent Chen Zhaodi back home, he has rarely gone out.

I usually hide from people when I go to the fields, just because I don’t want to become the topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner.

In fact, he had always wanted to apologize to Aunt Mingyue for what happened before.

But he really didn't have the courage to face his aunt.

I always feel that I didn't manage people well in the beginning, and no matter how much I say now, it still seems a bit like hindsight.

A few days ago, the Qi family came to make trouble. After he learned the news, he hurried over to help.

However, he was deeply impressed by the bravery of Miss Mingyue.

He remembered the story his aunt had told them: "To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader."

At that moment, he felt that his aunt was amazing. While he admired her, he also urged his mother to come out and help.

Even if his mother scolded him when he got back, he felt that he was able to help and felt better.

Just now, he came back from the fields and saw all the villagers coming over here.

I thought something happened in the clan leader's family, so I came here on purpose.

I never thought that I would hear the words of the patriarch as soon as I came here.

He got angry instantly and stood up to make it clear.

Gu Guoqiang gestured to him, "Dayong, you go ahead and speak."

Li Dayong said in a deep voice, “I heard them talk about this when I was working in the factory before. The deputy director’s son is a fool and has violent tendencies.

He had an older sister before, but she wasn't his biological sister, she was a child bride bought for him by the deputy factory director;

Later he died. People said he died of illness, but everyone said he was beaten to death by the deputy factory director’s son.”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at Gu Mingde with a strange look, filled with disbelief and contempt.

"This is too immoral!"

"Does he not know either?"

"Bah, how is that possible? Dayong, who has only worked as a temporary worker for a few days, knows all these things, so how could he, a regular employee, not know them?!"

"I think he won't do anything without benefits. Someone must have promised him some benefits."

The discussions around him continued to reach Gu Mingde's ears.

He knew that these country bumpkins were deliberately trying to embarrass him in front of him.

If I had known I should have just walked away.

He is not afraid even if his elder brother follows him.

Anyway, he won't be back in town, so even if someone talks behind his back, he won't be able to hear it.

Even if he denied it now, it would be of no avail, so he admitted defeat.

However, today's shame will be avenged someday.

Gu Mingde might not know that his father's last expectation for him was completely shattered after Li Dayong finished speaking.

Gu Guoqiang was distracted for a moment when looking at his son.

It seemed that without realizing it, I could no longer recognize the third brother's original appearance.

As the head of the clan, Gu Guoqiang has always been very strong, but today he rarely showed a hint of weakness.

He asked persistently, "Old Third, when did you become so profit-seeking and unscrupulous that you even betrayed your own flesh and blood?

Have you ever thought about what Mingyue will live like after getting married? What will Xiao Shitou experience? Or do you know;

But for the sake of profit, you don't care at all. If one day, I, as a father, need to make sacrifices, will you also ignore my life or death? ! "

Gu Mingde was already resentful towards his father because of the shame he suffered.

Now that he was accused to his face, he no longer cared.

He roared with a ferocious face, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. You can't give me the life I want, so what's wrong with me fighting for it myself?"

Gu Guoqiang shouted, "Then you have to earn it with your own hands, instead of climbing up by stepping on the corpses of others."

Gu Mingde still did not repent. "Mingyue will get married sooner or later. It doesn't matter who she marries. He is a fool. She can take care of all the fools in the family. One more..."

"Pa!" Before Gu Mingde could finish his words, he was stunned by a slap from his father.

The slap caused blood to seep from the corner of his mouth and his face swelled up instantly.

He looked up in disbelief, "Dad, you actually hit me."

Gu Guoqiang took a deep breath and straightened his face, "Gu Mingde, you insisted on marrying into the Lu family, whether it was for work or for people, you didn't care;

Although I am disappointed, I know in my heart that you want a better life, which is understandable;

After all, I am a useless father, so even though it brings shame to my ancestors, I still agree;

Just made a request, do you remember what it was? "

Gu Mingde said nothing.

Gu Guoqiang asked again with a stronger tone, "I'm asking you if you remember."

Gu Mingde could only answer, "I remember. You said that it's okay to marry into my family, but the child must have the surname Gu, but..."

He wanted to say more, but Gu Guoqiang interrupted him, "Okay, just remember it. You promised me at the beginning, but you didn't follow my words.

Let me ask you again, from the beginning, your daughter was named Lu Guangmei, and only when she returned to Gujia Village was she called Gu Guangmei. Is it true or not? "

"Yes." Gu Mingde stopped struggling and answered honestly.

Lu Yan has been holding back her anger today, and anyone would be in a bad mood if they were slapped in the face.

She felt that nothing good would happen if she returned to this poor country village.

But at this moment, when I heard what my father-in-law said, I couldn't help feeling proud at the same time as I was holding my breath.

She thought this was a sign of her man's love for her, and said provocatively, "Father-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is a new society, and you still care about a surname. I think you are not qualified to be the clan leader."

Gu Guoqiang had already made up his mind and simply ignored Lu Yan's jumping up and down.

He asked again, "In order to save you, your uncle braved the freezing weather and took you to the hospital. His toes were almost frozen off.

But now, you are plotting against the only flesh and blood he has left in this world for your own selfish reasons, right?"

Gu Mingde gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."

"Have I treated you three brothers equally and without any harshness?"

Gu Mingde was impatient with the question and shouted loudly, "Yes, yes, yes, that's enough."

For a moment, Gu Guoqiang seemed to have suddenly become very old.

But he stood up straight and looked at everyone, showing the majesty of the head of the clan, as if what happened just now was just an illusion.

All I heard him say was, "I, Gu Guoqiang, have been upright all my life and have never done anything wrong, but unfortunately, my family was unlucky and I gave birth to a bad boy.

Telling lies is disloyalty, deceiving family members is unfilial, betraying loved ones is unkindness, and ignoring kindness is unrighteousness;

My Gu family cannot tolerate such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, nor can the Gu clan members tolerate him;

Boss, open the ancestral temple and ask for the family tree. From today on, Gu Mingde will be expelled from Gujia Village. From now on, he will have no ties with the Gu family or the Gu clan. "

Gu Mingde suddenly looked up at his father, unable to believe that his father could do such a cruel thing.

He wanted to speak, but at this point, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say or didn't want to say.

Because the whole village was already surrounding him and heading to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is built with blue bricks and gray tiles, and there are exquisite brackets on the gate tower.

These were somewhat damaged during the war years, but were restored bit by bit by the clan leader and the Gu clan members.

There are two drum stones at the door, and the entrance is divided into the upper hall and the lower hall.

Generally, villagers gathered in the lower hall.

The upper hall is where ancestral tablets are enshrined and entry is usually not allowed.

It is only open for important events such as weddings, funerals or sacrificial ceremonies.

The original owner came in once when he was listed in the family tree.

They came to the upper hall and saw a couplet engraved on the door:

First Couplet: We build ancestral temples to comfort the spirits of our ancestors, hoping that our descendants will prosper and their achievements will last for thousands of years.

Second line: Repairing the ancestral hall and respecting the sacrificial rites shows that our generation has a bright future, and our reputation will be passed down through the ages.

Horizontal banner: Blessings for generations to come.

The air was filled with the scent of sandalwood, solemn and dignified.

As soon as people come in, they will unconsciously hold their breath, walk lightly and adjust their mood.

Gu Guoqiang solemnly took the family tree off the altar, took out a pen, and personally crossed out Gu Mingde's name.

In the middle, Gu Mingde screamed "Dad."

Gu Guoqiang paused for a moment, and looked at Gu Mingde, "I can accept that my son is mediocre, but I cannot allow him to lose his conscience."

After saying that, he crossed out the word ruthlessly.

Gu Mingde seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Gu Guoqiang took out a piece of paper, wrote something on it, and then threw it at Gu Mingde's feet.

He picked it up slowly, and saw the words "sever ties" clearly written on it.

He clutched the paper in his hand, unable to read any more, but tears fell unconsciously...

Maybe at this moment, his tears were real, but it was too late.

Gu Guoqiang asked someone to escort him out of the ancestral hall, "From now on, Gujia Village does not welcome you. Take your family and leave."
