At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Gu Dahuai was so embarrassed by his son's scolding in person that he couldn't stand up straight and his head almost fell on his chest.

Gu Changqing became more and more angry as he spoke, gritting his teeth and saying, "Father, you always teach me that only when brothers are friendly and respectful to each other can a father be kind and a son be filial. Is it possible that you just say that?

"Otherwise, how could you have come up with the perverse idea of ​​sending my aunt to the Jia Mansion as a concubine? This is a complete disregard for human ethics, condemned by both heaven and man. It's no exaggeration to say that you have lost all humanity!"

Gu Dahuai smacked his lips as he listened to his son's lecture, but what he was thinking in his mind was how Songyang Academy usually taught its students?

Your family has spent so much effort to send you to the academy, but instead of studying hard, you spend all day gossiping about family matters. What's the difference between you and the women who sit at the village entrance and gossip about family matters?

But when she glanced at her son's frosty face, she had to swallow her words.

Gu Changqing became even more distressed when he saw that his father neither explained nor admitted his mistakes and repented, and even looked a little absent-minded.

After hesitating for a moment, he ruthlessly revealed his trump card.

"Next year, we will have the special examination and the child examination. My classmates have learned about your actions, and now no one is willing to associate with me, for fear that my family will be implicated and their reputation will be tarnished, which will affect their future official career.

"Without a mutual accomplice, there's no one to guarantee my safety. Naturally, I won't be eligible to take the exam, and my name will no longer be mentioned in my official career."

Although Gu Dahuai didn't understand what "Tongshi" and "hujie" meant, he understood that it would affect Changqing's imperial examination, and he screamed in fear.

"what?!"

After saying this, Gu Changqing turned his back, his tone full of regret.

"Otherwise, Dad, why do you think I came back at this time? I... was sent back by the headmaster. He said that if I couldn't handle the household affairs well..."

Gu Changqing emphasized his tone, and the hearts of the onlookers were also aroused.

"Just stay in Songsi Village and don't go back to study, so as not to bring shame to the academy."

When Gu Dahuai heard his son say such cruel words as "I won't go back to the academy", he was at a loss and thought of the witch's terrible prediction, and grabbed his son's arm anxiously.

"Changqing, stop talking nonsense. You are a child of destiny. Studying at Songyang Academy is a honor for them. How can it be a discredit?"

Seeing that things had come to this point, and Gu Dahuai still looked superior, the people around him couldn't help but start laughing at him.

Some of the laughter was really harsh and naturally reached the ears of the Gu family father and son.

Seeing his son's red face, Gu Dahuai instinctively felt even more upset than he himself, as he had lost face. He glared at everyone angrily and said in a low voice:

"Changqing, my dear child, there are some things you can just say to your father in private, but why should you bring them out in front of everyone? I can afford to sacrifice my reputation, but you are different, you..."

Gu Changqing remained unmoved. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he continued to stab Gu Dahuai with a cold face.

"So what about me? How am I any different from others? We were all born by our mothers and raised by our fathers. Do we really have to be divided into different classes?"

Lin Qing was trying to do two things at once: one was paying attention to the development of the situation, and the other was thinking about how to improve Gu Changqing's favorability.

When I heard him say this, admiration unconsciously appeared in my eyes.

If the occasion wasn't so inappropriate, she really wanted to applaud the other person.

The villagers were also shocked by Gu Changqing's outrageous words. They looked at this favored child of destiny in amazement, wanting to hear what other shocking words he would say.

Gu Changqing really lived up to everyone's expectations.

Gu Dahuai was pulling his son's sleeve, begging him to stop talking nonsense, but he didn't expect Gu Changqing to ignore him at all.

"Father, you know now that this is shameful and you want to cover it up? But God sees everything we do. Even though I know everything you did was for me, have you ever considered that the path you've chosen isn't an easy one, and might even prevent me from ever getting back on my feet?"

Everyone admired Gu Changqing's quick and righteous attitude, and praised him for being a student of Songyang Academy and promising him a bright future.

Lin Qing looked up at the headman on the steps, whose expression was even uglier, and actually felt a sense of sympathy.

The village head was quite old and had been standing for half a day, feeling a little tired. At this moment, he couldn't stop his vision from getting dark.

He thought that when Gu Changqing came back, he would understand that Gu Dahuai was a fool and take the troublesome Lin into the house to discuss things privately.

Song Shicun has always respected scholars, so no one will object to what he says, and he has his own way to solve the rest.

But he really didn't expect that Gu Changqing would be so cold-faced and would kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

Seeing that the situation had completely gotten out of control, Gu Dahuai was still speaking without thinking under the pressure of his son. Fearing that the other party would blurt out more things that should not be said, he hurried forward to ease the situation.

"Changqing, since this is a family matter, why don't you sit down and have a good talk? Why are you being so confrontational? Aren't you forcing your father by doing this? How is this any different from your aunt?"

Gu Changqing turned a blind eye to the village head's persuasion, as if he saw that he was the culprit that caused his father to be deserted by his friends and relatives, and said coldly:

"Grandpa Lizheng, since this is a family matter, please leave it to us to discuss among ourselves. Once there is a result, Changqing will naturally invite you and all the elders and fellow villagers to be witnesses."

Song Youliang laughed awkwardly and said, "This is against the rules, Changqing! After all, we have all seen how your father treats the eldest brother's family. If we discuss it privately, we are also afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family will suffer..."

Lin listened to the village head's righteous words and burst out laughing.

You and Gu Dahuai are like thieves meeting a thief, so don't blame each other...

And you are so ignorant that you dare to speak ill of your father in front of your son.

As expected, Gu Changqing straightened his body and spoke with a tone of disdain.

"Grandpa, the village head, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the truth is clear without any need for argument. My family will apologize and repay my aunt.

"You repeatedly stopped me, as if you were protecting my father and worried that he would spend too much. Could it be that, as Aunt Ling Shuang said, it was because the money and silk my father gave me was so tempting that you were blinded and couldn't tell right from wrong?"

Everyone:? ? ?

Are all the people in the Gu family crazy?

First, the elder sister-in-law beat up the younger brother-in-law, acting in a wicked and sarcastic manner;

Now even a junior dares to point fingers at the head of the village!

Lin Qing didn't expect that Gu Changqing, though elegant on the outside, was actually so resourceful on the inside.

His words were so devastating that the village head was almost speechless.

Song Youliang glared at Gu Dahuai viciously and squeezed out a word of praise through his teeth.

"This is truly a good son you have raised!"

Gu Dahuai turned a deaf ear to him, and all he could think about was what his son had just said. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He really didn't dare to think that if his son was expelled from the academy and could not take the imperial examination, then all the gold, silver, money, luxurious houses and beautiful gardens, and transcendent status he wanted would be in vain.

How could he be so short-sighted!

It’s just over thirty taels of silver, how can it be as important as his son’s future!

When Changqing becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination, won’t he be able to have whatever he wants?

Gu Dahuai, who had made up his mind, said harshly, "Good boy, tell me what you want to do, and I will do it!"

Gu Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxing a little.
