Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 32 Painted Skin

The woman was suddenly pulled out by Gu Yu, a flustered expression flashed across her face, then she lowered her head shyly, and timidly raised her eyelids to look at Gu Xianrong and Gu Huai.

The expression on Gu Xianrong's face froze: "Uh, when did you get married, why didn't I know?"

Gu Yu scratched the back of his head: "We got married on the way home. We hit it off and couldn't wait any longer, so we decided on our own and got married."

"Hmph," Gu Xianrong put his hands behind his back in dissatisfaction, and snorted coldly, "Stinky boy, your wings are stiff, and you don't tell the family about such a big thing. Your father and I are not dead yet!"

Gu Yu spread his hands impatiently: "This is not a high mountain and a long road. I really can't make it back. Your son and I can spend so many days at home in a year. Can't I be the master by myself?"

Gu Xianrong glared at him, then turned to look at Mei Niang who was standing at the side with her hands bound, and asked, "Who is this girl from?"

Mei Niang's slender body trembled slightly, and her head lowered a little, only showing a pair of red ear tips.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows guiltyly: "Father, everyone is married, born as a member of our family, and died as a ghost of our family, so we don't care where she came from."

Gu Xianrong did not speak, but squinted at him coldly.

Gu Yu couldn't hold back his father in the end, and said angrily, "I met Mei Niang on the road. She was the concubine of a salt merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The family abused her all day long, beat and scolded her, and she ran away. I came out, but I fainted on the side of the road from hunger. It just so happened that the caravan I led passed by and picked her up."

Gu Xianrong's eyes suddenly opened as big as copper bells: "You rebellious son, you don't want a lot of innocent girls. You picked up a little wife from another family from the side of the road. You want to piss your father off!"

"Why am I mad at you? Why did I marry a girl I like, so why am I so rebellious?" Gu Yu said, poking his neck.

"You...you..." Gu Xianrong pointed at Gu Yu tremblingly, his face flushed purple, and his breathing became more and more heavy.Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and fell backwards clutching his chest.

"Father!" Gu Yu and Gu Huai hurried forward to support Gu Xianrong.

"Father, don't scare me," Gu Huai anxiously caressed Gu Xianrong's chest, turned his head and said to Gu Yu, "Don't say a few words, it will make my father angry."

Gu Xianrong regained his strength, supported Gu Huai's arm to stand firm, picked up a wooden stick and beat Gu Yu.

Gu Yu couldn't dodge in time, he was hit hard on the shoulder, and cried out in pain "Ouch".

"Stinky boy, I'll kill you."

Angrily, Gu Xianrong raised his stick again to hit Gu Yu, but Gu Yu quickly dodged to the side.Gu Xianrong's eyes widened, and he cursed tremblingly: "How dare you hide?"

"Don't hide and wait to be killed by you?"

Gu Xianrong was so angry that he couldn't speak, he raised his stick and was about to hit him hard.

Gu Yu saw that the situation was not right, so he ran away. Gu Xianrong chased after Gu Yu with difficulty, and beat him on the back with a stick.

The father and son were making a fuss in the courtyard, and the chickens were flying and the dogs were dancing.

Gu Huai couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward to grab his father, and blocked the two of them with his body.

"Father, don't be angry. If you get angry, your body will be bad." Gu Huai supported Gu Xianrong's arm with one hand and pulled him away, and gently removed the stick from his hand with the other.

Gu Xianrong took a few breaths with red eyes, patted Gu Huai on the shoulder and said, "Huai'er, you're still filial. Sooner or later, father will be pissed to death by that bastard of your brother."

"Who are you calling a bastard? I am your bastard. If I were a bastard, what are you?"

"you……"

"Brother, stop talking." Gu Huai glared at him complainingly, Gu Yu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

After calming his father's emotions, Gu Huai gave Meiniang a worried look.Mei Niang seemed to feel his gaze, raised her head slightly to meet his gaze, raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a charming smile, and turned her face away again reservedly.

At that moment, Gu Huai felt a strange gas penetrate into his forehead, trying to seize his consciousness.He yelled in his heart that it was not good, resisted with all his strength, and finally forced the gas back out.

"Huai'er, Huai'er!"

"Huh?" Gu Huai recovered from his trance, sweating profusely.

"Why did you look like you lost your mind just now?" Gu Xianrong looked at Gu Huai worriedly, "Why is your face so pale, is it because you are still sick, go back to the room and rest."

Gu Huai shook his head: "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, she gritted her teeth and looked at Meiniang bitterly, but Meiniang turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Gu Yu looked around twice between Gu Huai and Meiniang, and quietly narrowed his eyes.

At this time, Meiniang's slender and thin shoulders began to shake violently, accompanied by suppressed sobs.

Gu Yu hurried over, hugged Mei Niang and held her face: "Daughter-in-law, why are you crying? No one here can bully you, don't cry, don't cry."

Mei Niang raised her fair little face, and wept pear blossoms with rain.

Gu Xianrong couldn't bear to look directly at him, and opened his mouth to say something sarcastic.

Suddenly, Mei Niang turned a pair of beautiful, misty eyes to look at Gu Xianrong, and her rosy cherry mouth moved slightly, making a lovely gesture.

Gu Huai clearly saw that his father's body froze suddenly, and then his eyes became hollow, revealing a ray of stupid light.

"Why does Daddy despise the Nu family so much?" Mei Niang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a choked voice, "Could it be that you despise the Nu family as a broken shoe, not worthy of your husband?"

Gu Xianrong shook his head with a dull expression, and there was a look of pity on his face, and he said quickly: "How come, Mei Niang, you are so handsome, it's because my silly boy is not good enough for you."

"Then why doesn't dad agree to our marriage?"

"How can I disagree?" Gu Xianrong snatched the wooden stick that Gu Huai was holding in his hand, and threw it on the ground, "I wish for that kid to marry such a wife."

Gu Huai couldn't listen anymore, he knew that his father must be bewitched by this woman's demonic technique, so he shook his father vigorously twice: "Father, please be sober!"

Then he walked in front of Mei Niang, and said righteously: "What kind of monster are you, you dare to come to our Gu family to make trouble, do you think I can't see your true face?"

"Gu Huai, shut up!" Gu Xianrong pointed at Gu Huai and snapped.

Gu Huai turned his head stiffly and looked at his father in surprise.

"How can you talk to your sister-in-law like this? Are there any rules? It seems that I am too accustomed to you on weekdays, and I have made you look like this."

"Father! This woman is a monster, don't be fooled by her!"

"Nonsense, don't call me dad." Gu Xianrong shook off his sleeves, raised his head and looked up without even looking at Gu Huai, "Go to the firewood room and kneel facing the wall and think about it."

Gu Huai looked at his father steadfastly, standing where he was, and his eye circles began to turn red with grievance.

"I asked you to kneel in the firewood room, did you hear me?" Gu Xianrong suddenly picked up a stick and slammed it on Gu Huai's leg.Gu Huai felt a sharp pain, and almost fell to his knees, leaning on the wall next to him to stand up straight.

"Daddy, don't be angry. My younger brother has just recovered from a serious illness and is still weak. Even if he made a mistake, he doesn't have to be punished like this." Gu Yu stepped forward and gently took the stick from Gu Xianrong's hand, saying that he was doing it for Gu Huai She begged for mercy, but she couldn't help showing a gloating expression on her face.

"Stop it," Gu Huai closed his eyes, said tiredly and chillingly, "You're going to punish me, and I'll take it. But, don't regret it in the future."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his back, dragged a sore leg, limped past Gu Xianrong and left.
