Chapter 45: I Also Want to Reason

Gu Fugen never felt it was his fault that his children died. In fact, he got annoyed every time Gu Zhenhua mentioned it.

“The fourth and fifth died young, it’s their bad luck. You have the surname Gu, even if you die, you should die in the Gu family, I don’t agree with marrying in.”

“What’s the use of you disagreeing with my business.” Gu Zhenhua didn’t waste any words, he directly picked up the stool and slammed it on the ground. Then he pulled out the broken leg of the stool and asked, “Where’s Gu Zhenguo? Big brother! Come out, I have something to tell you.”

Gu Zhenguo hid in the room, not daring to make a sound.

Gu Zhenhua kicked the door open and dragged him out to beat him up.

“Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

Seeing this, Gu Fugen and Gu Chouni rushed over to stop him.

“Why are you beating your elder brother again? Every time something happens, you take it out on your elder brother. Your elder brother’s injuries from being beaten by you haven’t healed yet.”

Gu Zhenhua laughed nonchalantly, “I want to beat him, so I beat him, do I need to choose a day?”

He didn’t just beat Gu Zhenguo, he would also hit Gu Fugen and Gu Chouni with a stick from time to time.

“You unfilial son. You might as well beat me to death.”

“Stop it, stop it, can’t you talk things out properly?”

The three of them were fighting, the house was noisy and chaotic.

Gu Zhenhua had been fighting against his family of three for over ten years. He had been doing this even before he went to the army.

So when he went to the army, his fighting skills were the most outstanding, they were all practiced in real combat at home.

Since he had started fighting, Gu Zhenhua didn’t plan to stop easily. He only stopped after he had really hurt them, and then he warned, “Don’t worry about my business. If you dare to interfere and ruin my marriage, I’ll beat my brother like this three times a day.”

It’s not good to talk about beating your elders, but it’s okay to fight between brothers.

Gu Zhenguo’s fighting ability was so weak, Gu Zhenhua could easily knock him down.

Gu Zhenguo was a coward, hearing Gu Zhenhua say this, he burst into tears, “Dad, Mom, don’t harm me, okay, I’m in so much pain.”

“Zhenguo, what’s wrong with you, are you hurt? My poor son…” Gu Chouni hugged her eldest son and cried.

Gu Zhenhua was impatient, “What are you crying for? Did you understand what I just said?”

“We understood.” Gu Fugen was the first to give in, but he didn’t forget to bargain, “We raised you for so long, we can’t raise you for nothing. If you marry in, let the Hu family give two hundred yuan as a dowry.”

“No, I don’t agree with marrying in.” Gu Chouni unexpectedly continued to insist.

Her greatest pride in her life was giving birth to six sons for the Gu family, which had been an only son for three generations. Even though she had many sons and didn’t care about them anymore, she didn’t want her symbol of pride to marry into another family.

“When I went to the army, you said I couldn’t sell my son to the army for nothing, you asked me for fifty yuan to sign the verification documents. I took a long time to pay that money back.” Gu Zhenhua said dissatisfiedly, “You’ve sold me once, do you want to sell me again? You’re dreaming.”

If it wasn’t for his younger brother still being at home, Gu Zhenhua wouldn’t even bother to come back and discipline his family.

Thinking that he would be leaving in two days, Gu Zhenhua patted the stick in his hand and warned, “This marriage is something I asked for. I promised the Hu family that I wouldn’t let you cause trouble. If you dare to go, when I come back for vacation next time, I’ll play with my brother every day.”

Gu Zhenguo knew what kind of “playing” he meant. He screamed and collapsed, “No, no, no! Don’t always beat me up! I didn’t do anything to you.”

Gu Zhenhua shrugged helplessly, “I can’t help it, who told Mom and Dad to spoil you the most.”

Gu Zhenguo couldn’t refute this, he could only secretly wipe away his tears and comfort himself in his heart: Gu Zhenhua wouldn’t stay at home for long, he could just endure it. This time, he only needed to endure for two more days, and Gu Zhenhua would be gone.

Gu Zhenhua was a ruffian from childhood, his family had experienced it for over ten years.

So after he beat up Gu Zhenguo, his family didn’t dare to make any noise, they were forced to accept the fact that he was marrying in. They cursed Gu Zhenhua in their hearts while quietly cleaning up the aftermath of the fight.

Gu Zhenguo couldn’t escape this beating, how could Gu Zhenhua dare to go back to the army for vacation without doing enough ideological work for his brother?

He left on a workday, everyone had to go to work, only Lin Xiangnan went to see him off.

“I’ll write you a letter when the marriage application is approved.”

“Okay.”

The train started, Lin Xiangnan waved goodbye. When he disappeared from her sight, Lin Xiangnan felt a little uncomfortable.

She actually just wanted to get married, she didn’t want to date, but it was really comfortable getting along with Gu Zhenhua. Now that he’s gone, she’s a little reluctant to let him go.

Lin Xiangxi felt the same way. As soon as Gu Zhenhua left, he started to complain, “As soon as my future brother-in-law left, the ice cream and candy every day are gone.”

“What are you saying, what day don’t I treat you to ice cream?”

Lin Xiangxi sighed, “But you only treat me to one a day.”

“I’m afraid Mom will nag me. She says I’m wasting money, that eating ice cream is bad for my stomach, that I eat all this junk food, I won’t eat properly when it’s time for a proper meal. It’s not worth it to be nagged by Mom for an ice cream.”

“Besides ice cream, tell me something else. Go and help me find out about the Gu family today, and when you come back, I’ll prepare the things for you.”

“The roast chicken from last time?”

“No problem, I guarantee it will taste the same.” To be honest, Lin Xiangnan was already tired of this taste.

She couldn’t cook, so she bought a food processor at the mall, she could quickly make a dish by adding the required ingredients.

But after eating it a lot, she realized that the dishes made by the food processor all tasted the same, after eating it a few times, she got tired of it. It was still better to have dishes made by a real chef, the taste was more refined.

After receiving Lin Xiangnan’s instructions, Lin Xiangxi went to the alley where the Gu family lived and inquired around. When he came back, he said, “They’re pretty honest, they didn’t react much. Maybe Big Brother Gu already discussed it with them before he left.”

“That’s not right. Gu Zhenhua is gone, why are they still so honest?”

“Maybe the aftershocks are still there?” Lin Xiangxi grinned, “I saw Gu Fugen walking unsteadily today. It’s said that once the wound heals, you forget the pain, but their injuries haven’t healed yet, they couldn’t have forgotten Big Brother Gu’s words so quickly.”

Lin Xiangnan felt a little regretful.

Gu Zhenhua used his fists to suppress Gu Zhenguo and also settled the Gu couple, which gave her inspiration.

She really hoped that Gu Fugen or Gu Chouni would come and cause trouble for her, so she could reason with the Gu family, especially with their precious son, Gu Zhenguo.

With their identities, they would definitely have contact. It was better to settle things with one punch than to carefully test the waters first.

She really wanted the Gu family to see that her strength was no less than Gu Zhenhua’s.

Seeing her looking like she wanted to cause trouble, Lin Xiangxi quickly persuaded her, “Gu Zhenguo seems to be quite badly injured. If you want to give him a warning, you have to let him heal first. Sister, don’t be reckless and cause him any more problems.”

Lin Xiangnan: “Do I need your advice for this?”
