Chapter 804: Always Gain Benefits, Always Stay Away
Nie Mingyuan, his two stepsons, and their wives were stunned.
I don’t understand what Gu Baishuang means by asking this question. Could it be that Gu Baishuang misses her grandson?
In the past, Gu Baishuang really loved her grandson very much.
She was afraid that others would say that she was an insincere step-grandmother, and she loved her grandchildren more than a biological grandmother.
The grandson of the eldest son was raised by Gu Baishuang alone.
Ever since the dispute three years ago, Gu Baishuang's feelings for her grandchildren have faded.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, smiled and said, "The children are all here. Ever since you came to Shengjing, Yan'er has been thinking about you every day and hasn't been able to eat well. He has lost a lot of weight in the past six months. But Yan'er has made progress in his studies. He even said on the way that he would show you his calligraphy when he saw you."
As he spoke, he urged the old woman to call the children.
The Yan Ge'er that Zhang mentioned was her eldest son and the grandson who was raised by Gu Baishuang.
She said, after all, Yan Ge'er grew up with his mother-in-law, how could she not love him?
It’s only been a short time since we last met, but I already miss Brother Yan.
It doesn’t matter even if the mother-in-law has opinions about her and her husband. As long as her son is around, she can control the mother-in-law.
Gu Baishuang smiled faintly.
The second daughter-in-law, Sun, said unyieldingly, "My brothers Sheng and Xiang also talk about grandma every day. Go and bring them here."
Sun regretted very much that she should have been so cruel as to send the child to Gu Baishuang to raise.
Soon, several children were brought to Gu Baishuang by the maids.
When the children saw Gu Baishuang, they looked unfamiliar.
Gu Baishuang was not annoyed.
"Hurry up and say hello to grandma." The old woman urged.
Several children said hello.
Zhang and Sun looked at Gu Baishuang, and seeing that she was sitting there drinking tea without saying anything, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
But they heard that Gu Baishuang had done a big business with Widow Tong, and the Nie family's business was nothing compared to hers. She had so much money in her hands but was reluctant to prepare a gift for her grandson.
Gu Baishuang looked towards Sheng'er and Xiang'er and said, "Do you like it here?"
They both said, "I like it. I like it here."
Gu Baishuang pinched their cheeks and said to Nie Xiaofeng, "Look, your nephew has grown up so much. When can you get married so that I can hold my grandson?"
These words seemed to trigger Shengge'er and Xiangge'er's defense system. They remembered what their parents had said in private and said, "My uncle has never been married, and he will never be married and he will not have a son. This house is ours."
Yan Ge'er jumped out and pushed his two cousins down, then put his hands on his hips and said, "What is yours? This general's mansion is mine. I am the eldest son and grandson, and everything in the house is mine."
Yan Ge'er was very strong. Sheng Ge'er and Xiang Ge'er were pushed to the ground and their hands were scratched. They started crying loudly.
Sun was so distressed that she supported this and that, and was so angry that she wanted to eat Yan Ge'er alive.
Yan Ge'er was completely unaware. He turned his head to look at Gu Baishuang and said, "Grandma, my mother said you love me the most. Since my uncle has no children, I am your grandson. Everything you and my uncle have is mine."
Brother Yan looked righteous and confident.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed except Gu Baishuang.
Nie Xiaofeng looked at his eldest brother and his wife and asked, "What do you mean I can't get married and have children? How can the house I worked so hard to earn belong to my nephew?"
Sun Shi didn't care about feeling sorry for the child and forced a smile, saying, "It's just nonsense from a child, Third Brother, don't take it to heart."
Zhang grabbed Yan Ge'er and slapped him on the butt, cursing, "I told you to talk nonsense, I told you to talk nonsense. Your uncle is still young, how could he not have his own children?"
He turned to Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng and explained, "Brother Yan missed his uncle so much. He said that his uncle is a great general and he wants to be a general's child. Children speak without restraint. Third brother, please don't be angry."
Nie Xiaofeng didn't believe this explanation.
He knew his two sisters-in-law very well. It must be them who taught the child that if he didn't get married and had no children, the General's Mansion would belong to their children.
Thinking of this, Nie Xiaofeng's face turned gloomy.
Gu Baishuang sneered, "The child said that, but it was taught by an adult, right?"
Yan Ge'er was beaten by Zhang, feeling aggrieved. He shouted, "I didn't say anything nonsense, I didn't say anything nonsense. Mother told me this. Mother said my uncle would die on the battlefield. My uncle has no sons, and since I'm the eldest son and grandson, everything should be mine."
Gu Baishuang couldn't bear the thought of Nie Xiaofeng dying on the battlefield.
Nie Xiaofeng's expression changed drastically.
Zhang wished she could sew her son's mouth shut.
She did say that now.
But he didn't say it when teaching the child, but said it in private. Somehow, Yan Ge'er heard it and imitated him and said it out loud.
Yan Ge'er angrily asked Nie Xiaofeng: "Uncle, when will you die? Will this huge house really be mine after you die? Grandma is so mean. I will kick her out when the time comes."
Gu Baishuang slapped Yan Ge'er to the ground.
If you dare to curse her son, she will fight you.
Don't say he is a child and doesn't understand.
Look at the old from the young.
If a child has such a vicious mind, what will happen to him when he grows up?
What's more, Brother Yan is not a child anymore. He is already at the age of starting to learn to go to school, and all the principles he has learned are useless.
Yan Ge'er cried loudly after being beaten by Gu Baishuang. He angrily said to Gu Baishuang, "You are not my grandmother. You are the step-grandmother that our Nie family bought with money. Just wait, I will kick you out when I grow up."
Gu Baishuang was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
He grabbed Zhang who was standing by and slapped her twice, cursing, "What does he know as a child? You taught him all that. You just want my mother and I to die. I tell you, if you and your son die, neither of us will die."
Zhang's face burned from the beating. She hugged Yan Ge'er and cried, "I've been married to the Nie family for so many years, honoring my parents-in-law, serving my husband, and bearing children for the Nie family. The child just said a few nonsense words, and you blame me for teaching him. If I say I didn't teach him, and you don't believe me, you'll think I have evil intentions."
"I'm always wrong. If Mom is unhappy with me, she should just write me a letter of divorce and ask me to leave."
The mother and son hugged each other and cried.
Gu Baishuang glanced coldly at Zhang and Yan Ge'er, scaring the mother and son so much that they trembled.
Nie Xiaofeng said, "Sister-in-law didn't teach her child well, but instead blamed my mother. You taught our Nie family's child to be unfaithful and unrighteous. You really should be divorced."
Nie Xiaofeng had seen blood and death on the battlefield.
As a soldier, he was not afraid of death and was ready to sacrifice himself.
But being cursed for no reason felt like being stained by something dirty.
Zhang's crying was choked by Nie Xiaofeng's scolding.
Gu Baishuang's eyes swept over Boss Nie.
Whether it was the division of the family or the two families adopting a son in the name of Nie Xiaofeng's death, it was all the ideas of the two stepsons.
They come up with ideas and the daughter-in-law jumps out to carry them out.
If they succeed, they enjoy the benefits; if they fail, it is just the women's ignorance and mischief.
Just like now, things have become so serious, but Boss Nie is hiding in the dark as if it has nothing to do with him.
Always gain benefits and always stay out of it.
But how could Gu Baishuang let her stepson go?
"Boss, do you also think your son is talking nonsense?"
