When everyone heard that Gu Xingye was going to work in the city, they were all very happy for him, especially Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu, who were even more excited.
"This is all your third sister-in-law's fault. Tell me, how can you find a job now? You only have to pay twenty-five yuan a month to take care of food and housing. This good thing falls on our Xingye." Li Xiulan
Looking at my old son, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say.
"Mom, even if you are a temporary worker, you can only work for a few months." Gu Xingye was a little embarrassed by what she said.
"Didn't the third daughter-in-law say that she can learn to drive?" Gu Shoufu said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You should study hard when you go. Look at the farm machinery operators in the village. How many people are vying to learn how to drive. How did it end?
, I didn’t even send the branch secretary’s son there.”
Zhang Qin and Gu Xingguo were also happy for Gu Xingye.
"The fourth child wants to kiss her at first sight. When he learns how to drive, he will become a wife." Gu Xingguo continued.
Liu Yuemin was very angry when she saw the family talking to each other. She kicked Gu Xingmin under the table. Before Gu Xingmin could react, he just glared at her and turned away.
"Mom and Dad, the fourth child has to go to work in the city. What about the work on the team?" Seeing that Gu Xingmin didn't speak, Liu Yuemin had no choice but to ask the question herself.
Li Xiulan: "Of course we have suspended work."
"Food is earned according to one's work. How much food will our family lose if a big labor force like our fourth brother is gone? Our third brother and sister have to take leave from time to time. Do we have to tighten our belts as a family to live?"
It's a good thing that no one is thinking about the couple, but now they are using them as cattle and horses to help. She, Liu Yuemin, is not a fool.
Gu Shoufu looked over and said, "Second daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
Liu Yuemin said: "Mom and Dad, partiality is not so partial. The third brother is not at home, and the third brother and sister often ask for leave and we don't say anything. Today, I think the job should be given to Xingmin."
Twenty-five dollars a month, if you can work for half a year, it will be 150 yuan. You can also learn to drive, and the agricultural machinery and manual labor scores in the village are higher than others, so the work will be much easier.
"We have already agreed that Fourth Brother will go, how can we go back on our word?" Gu Xingping answered from the side.
"The fourth brother is alone. Your second brother is gone. At least we still have me as a worker at home."
Li Xiulan's face sank when she heard what she said: "Second daughter-in-law, what do you mean? We are all one family, so what is your family and mine? Do you want to separate the families?"
"Mom, don't listen to her, just like an old woman." Gu Xingmin immediately jumped out to smooth things over when he saw something was wrong.
"But I think what Yue Min said is quite reasonable. It's not impossible for the fourth child to go. This can be regarded as helping him, but does he have to share some of the money he makes with us?"
Gu Xingye had been listening to the conversation of several people. He was quite happy because he had a job. Now he heard his second brother say the same thing, and his face turned red with anger. But he had dark skin, so it was hard to see clearly.
He kept breathing heavily from his nostrils.
"Second brother, what do you mean? Are you thinking of sharing money with me now? My parents are here, so I've eaten a grain of rice from you? Also, did you go to the clothing factory with my second sister-in-law to talk nonsense? How can you have the nerve to do this?
What happened? Do you know that Sister-in-law No. 3 will no longer be able to have hair loss because of this incident?"
Gu Xingye was so angry that the veins on his neck protruded.
"What? I can't even get my hair done, what's going on? Fourth, tell me clearly." Li Xiulan felt a sudden change in her heart when she heard what her old son said, and immediately asked.
"Mom and dad, you don't know that my second brother and his wife..."
Gu Xingye no longer knew what words to use to describe it, so he paused and continued: "Originally, it was okay to forget about the marriage, but they actually went to that place and talked nonsense, saying that second marriages are second-hand goods, that's ugly.
I don’t even know how to do it. You think who can bear this matter? It’s good that they didn’t bring me and the third sister-in-law out with a broom. Why are they selling cloth heads?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else in the family was shocked.
"You two, is this true?" Gu Shoufu's eyes were like sharp knives, and Gu Xingmin and Liu Yuemin both trembled.
Gu Xingmin forced a smile: "Dad, don't listen to the nonsense of the fourth brother. Who knows how this matter got to people's ears? It has nothing to do with us two."
Liu Yuemin also responded and said, "Yes, Dad, we are all one family, how can we do this?"
"Second sister-in-law, can you explain where your rags came from?" Chen Lishu said coldly from the side.
It was obviously fine before, but the two of them changed their attitude after a trip to the clothing factory in the town. Anyone can figure out what happened.
"Third brother and sister, what do you mean? If I can buy rags but you can't, just join forces with the fourth brother and put a bucket of shit on my and your second brother's heads. I tell you there is no such reason in the world." Liu Yuemin looked at the faces of the people at the table.
Everything has changed. Although I feel guilty, I am still a tough talker.
"Second sister-in-law is right and doesn't speak loudly. If you say that I slandered you two, then do you and my second brother dare to go to the clothing factory with me and confront them to see if those words are what you said?" Chen Lishu said in a loud voice, coldly.
Looking over with cold eyes, the couple's breathing stagnated at the same time.
"I, why should we confront you? If we say we haven't done it, we haven't done it."
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, how could you do such a thing? We are all a family and you are too..." Gu Xingping was shocked and murmured not knowing what to say.
"Are you two still human beings? How could you do such an immoral thing and harm your own family!"
She knew her son best. When she saw his evasive eyes and didn't know what was going on, Li Xiulan felt angry and disappointed. She raised her hand and wanted to slap him twice.
"Tomorrow you and your third daughter-in-law will go and explain things clearly to people, apologize and admit your mistake, and be sure to clear up the misunderstanding. You have a good heart, but you even cheated your own family just for those two dollars. You two go there
Will you be able to feel at ease after making money?"
"I won't go." Gu Xingmin refused directly: "Mom, I didn't say anything at all. It's the old man who overthinks it. What does it have to do with me? Besides, if they don't sell to the third brother and sister, who knows if it's her and the fourth brother.
What did I say to someone that made them angry?"
"You!" Li Xiulan pointed at him angrily, her fingers trembling.
"Okay." Gu Shoufu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Everyone, please stop saying a few words."
Liu Yuemin thought that if he said this, the matter would be over, so she and Gu Xingmin looked at each other, both of them looking somewhat proud.
However, Gu Shoufu's next words instantly stopped the two of them from laughing.
"Dad, what did you say? Do you want to separate the family?"
