Chapter 109 Responsibility
After dinner, the business is done, and the elders have finished talking about the things that should be discussed. Boss Li is going home with his daughter.
"Leizi, I'm back."
"You have to come every day for cavalry training. The Night King has said hello. You don't have to go at noon or afternoon. You go to training, and you can't waste your time."
Boss Li told Gu Lei.
"Yes, my nephew has written it down."
Gu Lei responded.
After everyone left, Mrs. Gu stopped the second couple and left Gu Lei behind, along with a group of clan elders and Mr. Gu.
"Second daughter-in-law, today the boss of the Li family is here to choose someone, why didn't you inform me?"
The old lady is already angry.
"I, didn't I say, whoops! I was busy and forgot, I'm sorry, auntie."
"You don't take the future of the Gu family men seriously. Let me ask you, you gave the money for the medicine Leizi bought for the clan, the things for the school and the land to buy."
"Yes, I gave it to you."
Second Aunt Gu's blatant lying was also predicted that Gu Lei would not dare to turn his back on her, and would not expose her in person.
Gu Lin doesn't care about the account and doesn't ask these questions, knowing that he will not tell the truth because of his feelings.
"Third Aunt, Brother Li gave Leizi 5,000 taels. I don't have much money right now, so I want to settle my family affairs first, and I will return the money to Brother Li later."
Gu Laoer first opened his mouth to report, he knew the money.
Second Aunt Gu smiled awkwardly, "I forgot to mention this."
Glancing at her husband, she pursed her lips.
"How much did Leizi spend in total? You can report the amount to me so that I can reconcile the account. You can't be confused."
Old lady Gu smiled pleasantly, her eyes were a little colder, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her body leaned back slightly, her back was straightened.
The clan elders were expressionless and serious.
"Don't make it so clear, we are all a family, we should be the children under the subsidy of the uncles and aunts, and Leizi should also be paid as the head of the house."
Second Aunt Gu waved her hand generously and smiled, meaning that there is no need to pay it back.
Gu Lei turned his face to look at the second aunt in disbelief, and forgot to restrain his expression for a while.
Second Uncle Gu frowned slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, just do what you want. Accounts are accounts, so you can't be confused. You can report the accounts so that my aunt and clan elders know what to do next."
"I said no, it's just a small amount of money, and it will be charged to the main house's account."
Second Aunt Gu looked like I was in charge of the house.
Third Aunt Gu took a deep breath, lowered her head and did not speak after all, but she held her breath.
"Oh, why don't I know when you became the master of this big house, isn't the master of the house my eldest brother? Why, you are the wife of the Gu family?"
Old lady Gu chuckled, looking down at Aunt Gu from top to bottom, her eyes were full of contempt, she dared to play tricks on me with such a trick, really...
"We are juniors. Now both Leizi and Brother Xin need to be taught by the elders, and they should pay a little bit. We are all a family. At this time, we should unite as one."
"It's good to be united, but it's not a small amount of money. Ten thousand taels of silver bills is a lot. The Li family's money didn't come from a strong wind. How can you say no to it? You can't do it for the Li family so easily. Call the shots."
Old lady Gu put down these words lightly.
Second Aunt Gu's face immediately changed color, looking at Gu Lei with some resentment.
"You don't have to look at him. He didn't tell me. He was thinking of his uncle and aunt, and he refused to say anything. He was bored. It was the Li family who told me that he asked me to ask if the Gu family was short of money. , take some from him to make up for the lack, second daughter-in-law, you have thrown away your father-in-law and everyone in our family."
Second Aunt Gu knelt down, "Third Aunt, it's my fault, I embezzled money from the mansion..."
"Why didn't you tell me how much money you moved?"
Second Uncle Gu stared wide-eyed, lowered his head and pursed his lips, his chest heaving and falling.
"My brother lost a lot of money in gambling, and if he doesn't make it, his hand will be chopped off. I can't help it. I'm just such a brother..."
"You bastard! That is the property of my elder brother and my third younger brother. Why do you use it? I have repeatedly told you to settle the accounts separately. You are deaf and ignored my words. Did you give Leizi any money these days? Why did he use it?" Will you borrow money from the Li family? Say it!"
Second Uncle Gu snarled, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he clenched his fists angrily, unable to believe that his daughter-in-law was a thief in the den.
I've been **** off outside, the purpose is to accumulate some merits in the clan, so that I can have a good future for the children in the future, and gain face, so that Leizi can take care of his younger siblings and protect one or two. This kind of love is not just for you Did I go there?
This prodigal daughter-in-law is good, she gave the Gu family's money to others, why.
"I have no choice. I borrowed money from you and you didn't give it to me. Can I watch my brother be hacked to death!"
Second Aunt Gu knelt down on the ground and broke down crying.
"Why do you use my brother's money to subsidize your good-for-nothing brother, my brother is only a single seedling, you bastard!"
Second Uncle Gu's eyes turned red with anger, and he raised his hand and slapped her.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and Second Aunt Gu's face was flushed red from the slap.
She covered her face and looked at her man with tears in her eyes, her eyes were full of resentment and chilling.
"I married you at the age of sixteen and worked hard for your family to have children for you. Now you beat me? Isn't it just a little money, and he is not short of money."
"How do you know that he is not short of money, and he can borrow money from the Li family if he is not short of money. You think that when his father dies, no one will protect him. Brother Li and my elder brother are life-and-death friends. I have treated my nephew badly, Li Big brother will crush me to death, how can I explain to my dead brother."
Second Uncle Gu burst into tears. He never expected that the daughter-in-law would be so ignorant to steal money from her brother-in-law at this juncture. The key is that the brother-in-law is a bottomless pit.
"That's my brother."
"Okay, don't let this cry and howl, I won't tell her the second child, I will only explain to you. Give all the accounts of the main house to your younger siblings and Leizi, and make up for how much money you stole. Read For your merits, I will let your wife go this time, and you remember, I let her go twice."
The old lady sighed, speaking earnestly, with tears in her eyes, her hands trembling slightly as she clasped her hands.
"Second brother, your eldest brother knew that he was dead and still continued as before. He immediately gave you the chance of survival and family fortune. His brothers have never treated you badly. How can you be worthy of your elder brother under the nine springs?" And third brother, ah!"
Grandpa Gu remained silent, his attitude was cool and indifferent.
"Father, my son is sorry for your trust."
Second Uncle Gu also knelt down.
"Second brother, are you complaining that I would rather hand over the Gu family to a brat than you, and think that you are just losing out on me?"
"The son dare not, the son has never thought about it this way."
"I haven't thought about it that way, maybe."
Grandpa Gu chuckled.
Pointing at Second Aunt Gu, "Look at the good things your wife has done. There is no righteousness for selfishness, only your natal brother. The family business is given to you, and your daughter-in-law is a thief and moves out. Didn't I give you a chance?"
"Father, it's not fair for you to say that. I have also contributed to the Gu family. My sister-in-law helps my mother's family everywhere. Why don't you say it? You are partial."
Second Aunt Gu is not convinced, no matter what I do, I am much better than my sister-in-law.
Gu Lin is not here, and she has never been involved in Gu family affairs.
"Second aunt, what you said is biased."
Gu Lei didn't want to hear it, you made a mistake and you have to take the blame, why, do you think I'm easy to bully.
