Staring at Gu Jin for a while, Chen Hong turned to look at the old master Gu silently smoking his pipe, believing that he couldn’t possibly refuse what she was proposing.
She suggested again, "In-laws, you see, my old man is right. How about we take this girl back today? It would save us another trip.
Let’s have a al first, and after we eat, we’ll leave. Soday we’ll bring our family over for a al. You don’t need to prepare too much; just so gestures would suffice, but having so chicken and at would make it look better.
Oh, by the way, my eldest grandson loves those white stead buns. Make more of them when the ti cos. And my youngest grandson loves eggs, boiled ones. My two sons aren’t picky, so prepare more rice. Each of them can eat two or three big bowls of rice..."
"Chen Hong!"
Listening to her increasingly shaless words, the old master Gu interrupted her unfinished speech.
This roar was a rare surprise to the Gu Family’s ears.
The old master had a strange temper but rarely got angry. Now his furious expression looked truly frightening, his face dark and carrying a hint of evil qi.
Gu Jin glanced at the aura around the old master, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This was the evil qi from having blood on one’s hands, sothing impossible for soone who hadn’t taken lives to possess.
Gu Jin thought of the Ancient Heaven-defying Skill she had obtained before, which could discern good from evil and see a person’s deeds.
Unfortunately, after she returned to Qingshan Village, this ability gradually faded.
It seed her own rits were insufficient, rendering this Heaven-defying Technique ineffective.
Gu Jin’s eyes darkened as she thought about how she might be able to accumulate more rit on herself. After all, it was an ability that ordinary people couldn’t possess, and it would be highly beneficial for her to judge people in the future.
Old man Chen and Chen Hong also sensed the old master’s displeasure, and the latter asked with a stern face, "What’s the matter? Are you refusing this marriage, in-law?"
The old master Gu took a drag from his pipe, gazed deeply at her, and spoke, "Do you still rember the paper you signed and sealed when the eldest daughter-in-law married into the Gu Family?"
At the ntion of this, the faces of the old Chen couple changed dramatically.
This scene left the other mbers of the Gu Family puzzled, not knowing what could make their faces change so dramatically. Even Gu Decang and Chen Hong were curious about it.
Knowing they still rembered this matter, the old master continued, "In black and white, it was written that when the eldest daughter-in-law married into the Gu Family, she had no ties to your Chen Family anymore. She wasn’t allowed to support the Chen Family anymore. She was to sever all ties with you. This one-ti deal was sothing you agreed to back then."
Hearing the old master’s words, Gu Decang, Chen Hong, Gu Jiajie, and Gu Minmin were all stunned, filled with disbelief, while even Gu Jin showed so astonishnt.
Chen Hong’s cloudy eyes flashed, recalling sothing, and she shalessly said, "But she is still our daughter after all!"
"At that ti, you broke relations for twenty yuan, and it was written clearly in black and white! Over the years, I’ve turned a blind eye to the elder daughter-in-law helping the Chen Family, but you shouldn’t get greedy!"
The old master’s words were resounding as he looked deeply at Chen Hong.
She felt guilty, "This matter has nothing much to do with my coming to arrange a marriage today!"
"It’s very relevant. Since the Gu Family has nothing to do with the Chen Family, why should you co to insult the Gu Family? Gu Jin is the eldest daughter of my second son. She was born a Gu Family mber and will die a Gu Family ghost!"
Chen Hong: "But she is not quite a Gu Family’s..."
