Chapter 155: Chapter 154: Demanding Money (First Update)

Things seem to have passed.

Days seem to continue unchanged.

Gu Xiaoqing, in her spare time from studying, heard gossip from the village. It’s said that Granny Feng caused quite a scene, of course at Mr. Gu’s house.

The uproar was earth-shattering, causing chaos.

Everyone in the village knows about this matter.

Except for contempt, the Gu Family seems to have gained nothing more.

How this matter ended, Gu Xiaoqing does not know, nor do others, but there is a rumor that Mr. Gu compensated Granny Feng with fifty yuan.

Gu Rushan even found a girl from another village to mediate for Feng Yuejin, a twenty-two-year-old woman, but she is willing since Feng Yuejin is a worker in town.

So these two matters are considered resolved.

No one in the village heard Gu Ruhai’s opinion, nor did they see any reaction from his family, as silent as death.

Apart from running business in town, Gu Ruhai rarely steps out.

Two days before Gu Xiaoqing’s school started, Mrs. Gu visited.

Mr. Gu did not appear.

It seems that since then, Mr. Gu rarely appeared in Gu Xiaoqing’s sight.

Regarding Mrs. Gu’s visit, initially, Gu Ruhai felt warmth, believing that parents just say things, and old grudges aren’t that deep, they will eventually forgive him.

In the end, Mrs. Gu’s words completely hurt Gu Ruhai to the core.

"You give three thousand yuan to me and your father, as closure for our raising you. From now on, we cut ties, and no longer contact. This money should be given. We raised you with food and drink, which all cost money, raising you all these years, three thousand is not much."

Mrs. Gu intends to sever ties with a one-time payment.

Gu Xiaoqing almost laughed out loud.

But seeing Gu Ruhai’s face as black as a pot bottom, she ultimately couldn’t laugh.

This Mrs. Gu is quite fashionable.

To think of such a buyout.

However, Gu Xiaoqing believes this must be Gu Rushan and Gu Ruhe’s idea.

Only these two have the mind for such a thought.

This implies not letting Gu Ruhai go until the end.

Planning to profit sharply from Gu Ruhai.

Gu Ruhai really didn’t expect Mrs. Gu to do this.

"Is this my father’s idea too?"

Gu Ruhai still held a shred of hope, Mr. Gu is not impulsive in doing things, he is considerate.

It’s usually Mrs. Gu who seems a bit crazed.

Mrs. Gu glared, "Of course it’s our decision. Your father said if you don’t give money, at least give us this small building, and that’s closure for this father-son relationship. From now on each goes their own way, no more ties."

Gu Ruhai gave a bitter smile.

His whole life wanted to be a good person, an honest person, valuing reputation above all, yet still has to do something shameful.

If this matter is out, what will the whole village think of him?

Cutting ties with one’s own parents, that’s committing an unforgivable act.

But if sacrificing reputation means sacrificing kids, absolutely not.

"When will you give, give a definitive answer. We can resolve quickly."

Mrs. Gu is here solely for this three thousand yuan.

Already planned out.

Not letting the eldest live well, if you won’t recognize us as parents, make sure Gu Ruhai pays dearly.

Three thousand yuan is the highest figure Mrs. Gu thought about.

If it’s more, even Mrs. Gu knows it’s impossible.

No matter how good business is in town, it’s not possible to have so much money all at once.

A family earns just over a hundred yuan a year, in Mrs. Gu’s mind, three thousand is the ceiling.

Actually intending if Gu Ruhai can’t produce the money, just right to occupy the house.

Mrs. Gu checked the house is worth at least three thousand five.

Demanding three thousand is not excessive.

About this house, Gu Ruhai always said he borrowed money from his father-in-law, elder brother-in-law, and a few good friends, accrued debts.

Mrs. Gu always had thoughts about this house.

This time it’s Mrs. Gu’s idea, however, Gu Rushan’s mind was certainly involved, Gu Rushan essentially lost his wife and suffered a setback.

Although Xiaocheng’s job arrangement was made, the other party complained a lot about Granny Feng’s incident, if not for Gu Rushan and Jiang Xiulan being clever, at one side Gu Ruhai made a resolute statement, at another side finding an old girl from another village, honestly, that girl is a bit not right, not normal.

But Granny Feng doesn’t know, Feng Yuejin and Granny Feng checked the girl’s family, looks alright, features are delicate, fair and clean, just slightly weak, but Granny Feng is satisfied nonetheless.

Only then were the matters finalized, planning to get certificates and hold a banquet after half a year.

Gu Rushan finally settled down.

Xiaocheng has already gone to the county to start learning to drive a car, thus has no connection with these village gossips.

But both Gu Rushan and Jiang Xiulan cannot swallow this anger.

The eldest nearly ruined Xiaocheng’s future this time, in Gu Rushan’s heart, this is not treating oneself as brother, once hearing such thoughts from Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu, the bad ideas immediately arose.

These days, Gu Rushan has been talking by Mrs. Gu’s ear about how Gu Ruhai has money but doesn’t respect parents, disrespectful, unless showing Gu Ruhai some severity, from now Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu in the village will be laughed at, unable even to control their son.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were moved by this.

Upon discussion, they realized, now there’s no real way to hold Gu Ruhai, the man doesn’t rely on you for food, has money and business for decent pocket money, house, he built a new house, there’s no leverage.

Then Gu Rushan proposed a plan.

The eldest wants to sever relationship with parents?

Fine, this son can’t live for free, must compensate parents with money, the more asking, the better to make Gu Ruhai sell house and land, after becoming poor, no more troubles.

In Mr. Gu’s heart, he also thinks the eldest’s changes are linked to money.

Being poorer, perhaps it’ll be easier to manage the eldest, having money emboldens, disregards him, the father.

Hence Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu really issued this three thousand compensation notice.

Gu Ruhai gave a bitter smile.

Truly his father, mother!

Three thousand!

He can afford, but giving today, Mrs. Gu would likely demand five thousand tomorrow.

What amount can repay the gratitude of raising? (To be continued. If you liked this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
