Chapter 285: Marrying the Mountain God 07
Just as Gu Jiande was about to reprimand Fang, he was scratched on the face with his claws. He immediately flew into a rage. He glared at Gu Li, but refused to tell her the whereabouts of the silver bracelet.
Fang was not going to give up and even stopped thinking about her own daughter's marriage. She grabbed Gu Jiande's clothes and, with her pregnant belly bulging, forced him to tell her about the whereabouts of the silver bracelet.
"It's a solid silver bracelet weighing more than two taels, with butterflies engraved on it. Dad, do I remember it correctly?"
Fang held her belly and cried, "Damn it, I've been married to you for so many years, and I only got a silver-covered hairpin, not even a silver ring. I didn't expect you to have such a good thing hidden. Ouch, my belly-----"
Gu Jiande's forehead was bulging with veins, and he finally spoke in a stammering voice: "The two taels of silver I brought to your house to propose marriage were obtained by pawning the bracelet, and I used the remaining money to buy you the hairpin."
Fang’s crying stopped.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and Gu Li's mocking voice seemed particularly harsh, "It seems that you are using your ex-wife's dowry to marry your next wife."
Then he sneered at Fang, "Is the hairpin I bought with my mother's dowry still useful? If it weren't for my mother, you probably wouldn't be able to use a silver-wrapped hairpin in your life, and you would only be fit to carve one with a wooden stick!"
"Ah, I'm going to tear your mouth!" Fang rushed halfway and then staggered to the ground.
Fortunately, Gu Jixia, who had been next to her, supported her in time.
Gu Jiande helped Fang sit down and raised his hand to slap Gu Li. Gu Li faced his big palm-leaf fan-like slap without dodging or avoiding it, saying, "If you slap me, we can't continue this discussion!"
Fang lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to stop him, "Don't, don't."
Gu Jiande was worried about the son in Fang's belly, so he reluctantly let go of his hand.
Gu Li also quietly loosened her tightly clenched fist. It's not that she wasn't afraid, but when she faced the whistling slap, the hairs on her back stood up.
Gu Jiande has a lot of strength from years of hard work, and that slap could definitely knock out her teeth.
But she can't retreat!
If you take one step back, you will take every step back.
There was no way she could retreat.
A mother is strong. Even though Fang was feeling so uncomfortable that sweat was coming out of her forehead, she still insisted on making plans for her daughter.
Just like Lian Yunshen’s mother, who couldn’t save her son, would rather threaten with her own life to find a wife for her son and carry on the family line.
But Guli has no mother.
She can only tough it out on her own!
"The things are gone long ago. What do you want?" Gu Jiande glared fiercely at his daughter, who used to be unable to speak. He didn't know if she had been contaminated by some dirty thing or had been forced into a desperate situation by Fang that made her so capable of causing such trouble.
I really underestimated her.
"Then give it to me in silver. I don't want more. Just give me two taels of silver!"
"Don't think about it!"
"Then there's nothing to talk about!"
Fang held her stomach and cried again. She was reluctant to let her daughter marry into the Lian family and suffer, but she was even more reluctant to give up so much money.
The money in the family is meant to be used for our grandfather's education, how could we give it to that little bitch?
But her daughter was leaning on her side and crying pitifully, and Fang's belly was getting heavier and heavier.
"Mom, please save me and give her the money. When I get married in the future, I will pay you back double." Gu Jixia knew that she was not as important to her mother as her younger brother, and she also knew what her mother liked most.
She cried and said, "When I get engaged, I will buy a silver hairpin for you as a betrothal gift. I will also be good to you in the future. I will keep all the good things for you. If you marry me to the Lian family, I will have nothing!"
Fang closed her eyes and said, "Give it to me! Help me up!"
Gu Jixia wiped away her tears, held Fang's arm, and helped her up, "Mother, you still love me the most!"
Fang spat fiercely at Gu Li's feet.
Gu Li was successfully disgusted by her, "Wait, I haven't finished my conditions yet!"
"Are you done yet?" Gu Jiande shouted, unable to bear it any longer and wanted to go forward and slap the man.
"Listen to what I have to say." Gu Li moved her feet in disdain. "The last condition is that I will sever my relationship with you!"
"what?"
"what?"
Gu Jiande and Fang were both surprised and asked back.
"To prevent you from marrying your daughter off, I will completely sever my father-daughter relationship with you when I leave this time!"
"No!" It was Fang who was the first to deny it. "We are marrying our daughter, not selling her. How can we sever ties with her family after she gets married?"
She was still thinking about going to the Lian family to take advantage of them and get back the things that were taken away by this dead girl. When the Lian family boy died, she would trick this dead girl back and sell her for a good price.
I heard that if you sell a girl to a place like that, you can get at least five taels of silver. This damn girl is pretty, so the price should be raised a bit.
Without the reputation of her parents, how could she control this damn girl?
Gu Jiande was thinking that Gu Jiazu could not have a sister who was a severed relative and was misunderstood and criticized for no reason.
His son is going to pursue a career in politics and become a high-ranking official, so his family background cannot have any flaws.
"By breaking off the relationship with me, your son won't have a murderer brother-in-law in the future. Isn't this better for your precious son?"
"We were keeping our promise to fulfill the marriage contract with the Lian family and had to sacrifice our own daughter. We were forced by the Lian family!" Gu Jiande quickly retorted.
Even though such a big thing happened to the Lian family, they did not cancel the engagement. Who would not speak highly of his family's righteousness when hearing this?
No matter what Gu Li said, the couple were surprisingly unanimous this time and were unwilling to break off the engagement.
But breaking off the engagement is Gu Li’s ultimate goal.
As a result, the two parties parted unhappily.
Another day passed like this, and seeing that someone from the Lian family would be coming the next day, Gu Jixia was so anxious that blisters formed on her mouth.
But no one was willing to compromise.
At this moment, Gu Jiazu, who was supposed to be studying at the academy, suddenly came back.
"Hey, Jiazu, why are you back?"
The eleven-year-old Gu Jiazu walked back to the village alone from the town, his clothes soaked with sweat. Fang felt so distressed when she saw him that she hugged him and cried out in pain.
Gu Jiazu pushed Fang away impatiently, "Mom, what happened at home? The school manager came to me and told me to take care of my family affairs before going back to school. He said that the teacher has asked for leave for me. I will take the end-of-year exam soon. Everyone is reviewing, but I am absent--"
As Gu Jiazu spoke, he glanced at his two sisters intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Jixia didn't dare to raise her eyes, but Gu Li looked straight at the kid without avoiding or avoiding.
She just didn't believe that Gu Jiazu, who studied in the same academy, would not know about Lian Yunshen's situation and come back here to say half of it and leave the other half.
This kid really inherited Gu Jiande's roots, he is very sinister.
Now, Fang and Gu Jiande both paid more attention to the agreement with the Lian family. They had originally planned to delay this matter for a while.
But their son was implicated in this matter, so they just wanted to send the person away today.
