Chapter 610: Every word she said made sense
Xu Xinghua looked at Gu Ruinian with a smile in her eyes.
He is of the same mind as me.
She liked the feeling of being infinitely obeyed. She was still thinking about whether to treat Gu Ruinian's leg. What if his leg was not good after being cured?
Old Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jia were so angry that they fell backwards.
"You haven't even arrived yet, but you're already turning your elbow outward. If I had known you were so useless, I should have drowned you when you were born. You're a traitor and an ungrateful person." Old Mrs. Gu pointed at Gu Ruinian and started scolding.
Mr. Gu coughed twice.
The Xu family seemed to have heard nothing.
Mr. Gu took a breath and said, "You don't have to give up the fifty taels of silver, but whose surname will the child have in the future..."
Xu Xinghua raised her eyes and interrupted Mr. Gu and said, "Of course the last name is Xu."
Gu Youtian said, "It was agreed that one of them would have the last name Gu."
Xu Xinghua insisted: "All of them have the surname Xu."
Jia looked at Xu Xinghua's face and wished she could pick out all the pockmarks on her face.
No wonder no one wants her now that she is an old maid. There is a reason for that.
Jia was thinking of waiting until she married Ruinian to see how she would torture this cheap daughter-in-law.
Then she thought about the fact that Ruinian was the one who married into her family, and she was so angry that her nails dug into her flesh.
Oh my God, why is her life so miserable?
Old Lady Gu clapped her hands and said, "Are you only going to have one child? If not, all the children will have the surname Xu. How can you not die of your big appetite?"
Not only Mrs. Gu thought so, but the Gu family members also thought so.
The Xu family is such a bully.
The head of the Gu family said to Xu Yong in dissatisfaction: "Does your Xinghua mean what she wants or what the Xu family wants? My Gu family raised me up, but I haven't contributed a cent to the family yet, and now I have to go to your Xu family to help you carry on the family line and help you take care of your parents. Isn't it right to give one of your children the surname Gu? We should be conscientious. If your Xu family is like this, how can we discuss this marriage?"
Xu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Xinghua's meaning is exactly what I mean."
The head of the Gu family stared at Gu Youtian. How did he negotiate with this stupid nephew, and now he was being held here.
Xu Xinghua followed the head of the Gu family and said, "Ruinian is lame now and can't make money or support his family. He was reported for hiding explosives and the Gu family suffered the consequences. What can such a person give to your Gu family? When he came to the Xu family, we helped him treat his leg. If his leg healed, we would support him to study. It was your Gu family that took advantage of you. Why do you say that our Xu family took advantage of you?"
"As for carrying on the family line, I was the one who carried the baby and gave birth to the baby. What contribution did Gu Ruinian make? Our Xu family has given so much. Isn't it right for him to be filial to my parents?"
If Xu Xinghua wasn't usually sarcastic and mean and loved to do bad things in the village, Tong Huaqiong would have applauded Xu Xinghua.
Every word she said made sense.
Faced with Xu Xinghua, who was like a piece of chopping block, everyone in the Gu family didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Xu Xinghua raised her chin and said to Gu Ruinian, who seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, "Ruinian, what do you think about whose surname the child should take?"
Old Master Gu was afraid that Gu Ruinian and Xu Xinghua would take the same stance, so he quickly interrupted and said, "What can he say? My opinion is his opinion. One of your children must have the Gu family surname. Not only must he have the Gu family surname, but he must be raised in the Gu family. Otherwise, there is no point in discussing this."
Mr. Gu got angry, and even Gu Youtian didn't dare to speak.
He didn't expect Xu Yong to go back on the terms they had already agreed upon. He was angry and wanted to compete with the Xu family.
"Okay, since your Xu family is bullying me too much, let's call off the marriage."
Gu Youtian stood up.
I originally thought that by inviting the clan members here today, the marriage between the two families could be settled quickly. I didn't expect that the Xu family rejected the conditions and wanted to renegotiate. This is like a slap in his face.
Since the Xu family had embarrassed him in front of the entire clan, he had no intention of giving in.
Xu Yong slowly lifted his butt from the chair and said to Xu Xinghua, "Since the Gu family is not sincere in negotiating, let's go."
Xu Yong was certain that the Gu family would come back to him.
If the Xu family doesn't take over a lame and useless son, who will?
Xu Xinghua snorted and stood up.
The Xu family members immediately followed him out of the house.
Old Master Gu's face turned pale, it was too bullying.
The head of the Gu family sighed and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't survive, who would be willing to let their son marry into the family? If Rui Nian must marry into the family, why did he have to go to the Xu family? I'm afraid that if the news of the marriage gets out, everyone in Pingchuan County will be scrambling to get him."
Gu Ruinian had a wooden face.
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.
The patriarch is really optimistic about Gu Ruinian's situation.
What kind of families want their daughters to marry a son-in-law? It's definitely not the Xu family. Xu Xinghua is ugly and has a bad personality. She has become an old maid and is unwilling to get married. She has no choice but to marry a son-in-law.
Other families who are looking for a son-in-law must have only daughters in their family and want to find a man with outstanding personal abilities to support the family. Gu Ruinian has nothing, he is not good at studying and he is not good at working, so why do you want to recruit him? You have to support him.
The Xu family has a son to support the family, and recruiting Gu Ruinian was purely for the purpose of preventing Xu Xinghua from being a burden to his brothers and nephews in the future.
Not only the clan leader, but also Old Man Gu and Gu Youtian could not see this clearly and put forward conditions to the Xu family.
No wonder the Xu family didn’t accept the challenge.
As the Xu family passed through the Gu family's yard, Xu Dabao ran into Gu Xiaoxue head-on.
Ever since Gu Xiaoxue became a manager in Tong Huaqiong's weaving workshop, she has relaxed a lot and her dress and appearance are no different from other girls in town. Xu Dabao's eyes widened at her.
In the past, Gu Xiaoxue was inexplicably afraid when she saw Xu Dabao. It was Tong Huaqiong who told her that there was nothing to be afraid of Xu Dabao, as he was just as afraid of pain and death.
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out."
Gu Xiaoxue held a pair of scissors in her sleeve, prepared for meeting Xu Dabao in the village.
She flashed the scissors in her sleeve in front of Xu Dabao, who shook twice.
A smile appeared on Gu Xiaoxue's face. Her aunt was right. Xu Dabao was also afraid of death and pain.
This smile was inexplicably creepy to Xu Dabao. He originally wanted to make a joke, but he wanted to leave the Gu family's old house as soon as possible.
Xu Xinghua looked disdainful.
My cousin is just hopeless and can't even subdue a girl like Gu Xiaoxue.
"Dabao, do you miss Xiaoxue?" After leaving the Gu family's old house, Xu Xinghua asked Xu Dabao with narrowed eyes.
Xu Dabao asked: "Do you have any ideas?"
Xu Xinghua said, "You are so useless. Why don't you block her in the dark? When the matter is settled, she will become the daughter-in-law of our Xu family, right?"
Just now at Gu's house, she was upset by the attitude of the Gu family, and she attributed it to the pockmarks on her face. Seeing Xiaoxue's smooth and beautiful face, she felt deeply jealous.
Why are all the girls in the Gu family pretty? Gu Taohua, Gu Xiaocao, Gu Xiaoxue, each one is more beautiful than the other.
It's all these pretty girls that make her look like dirt.
Xu Dabao was moved and said to Xu Xinghua, "Your idea is good, but I don't dare. Do you know that Gu Xiaoxue is now Tong Dajiao's manager? If I offend her, Tong Dajiao will destroy me, believe it or not."
"Useless things."
Xu Xinghua rolled her eyes.
Thinking of the fight with Gu Taohua when they were children, and Tong Dajiao rushing to Xu's house with a knife, Xu Xinghua shuddered for no reason.
