You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 212 Two Fools

Gu Baoxia recounted the whole story without any emotion.

After saying that, she didn't forget to tell them a fact—Lu Yuanqing broke off their engagement because of this, and Gu Baoxia would never be able to get married!

Even if she didn't say it, everyone present could guess.

"Is everything your aunt said true?" Tian Xiaoju asked Gu Hewang.

Gu Baoxia lowered her head, a flash of mockery passing through her eyes.

Even established facts need to be questioned again; this gives Gu Hewang an opportunity to find excuses!

As the eldest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Hewang was treated exceptionally well by Tian Xiaoju and Gu Weichang, better than any of their sons or daughters.

Gu Hewang naturally understood this as well. Upon hearing Tian Xiaoju's words, he immediately put on a wronged expression: "Grandma, I did nothing wrong. Lu Yuanbo and I were both pursuing Qingqing, but you can't blame me just because Qingqing chose me!"

"Lu Yuanqing has been pressuring you to get married for so many years, both openly and secretly, but he hasn't come to your door to mention marriage once. Moreover, since he became the accountant, as the future son-in-law of the Gu family, he hasn't even thought of bringing you any gifts. I think he simply doesn't want to marry you and is just putting on airs! Take advantage of this incident to cancel the marriage!"

Gu Baoxia was stunned. This heartless guy actually guessed it!

"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Baoxia patted the wad of cash in her pocket. How could she let him blame Lu Yuanqing for this?

"Do you dare say you have a clear conscience about knowing that Lu Yuanbo is pursuing Fang Qingqing? Weren't you secretly hoping to see him fail? Why did you hide your pursuit of Fang Qingqing? What were you and Fang Qingqing up to? Do you really think everyone else is a fool?!"

"Hewang, what has your aunt ever done to wrong you? Why are you trying to harm me like this? Haven't Lu Yuanqing and I wanted to get married all these years? We were just thinking about making the bamboo ware factory a success before considering it!"

At this point, Gu Baoxia looked at Tian Xiaoju with tears in her eyes, "Mom, Lu Yuanqing hasn't mentioned marriage in the past few years. He told me the reason. You know what the Lu family was like a few years ago. He felt that the family was poor and was afraid that I would be wronged if I married into the family. In recent years, seeing that the village bamboo ware factory has been established and that we have received our share of the money, and that Lu Yuanbo and the others in the family have grown up and are not so dependent on him, he discussed marriage with me."

“But, no sooner had we discussed it than my sister-in-law went up to him and said some sarcastic things, every word of which was demeaning Lu Yuanbo. He’s his brother, do you think he wouldn’t be angry?”

Seeing that the fire had spread to her, Zhao Fengqin quickly defended herself: "No, little sister, this isn't my fault! I'm just telling the truth. How can his Lu Yuanbo compare to our Hewang? Besides, for this reason alone, he's making a scene about canceling the engagement with you. Isn't that petty?"

"Shut up!" Tian Xiaoju yelled. "Do you think no one knows what you're up to? Don't treat everyone like fools!"

Zhao Fengqin, after being scolded, retorted defiantly, "That's exactly right! Why blame us? Lu Yuanbo is incompetent!"

"You still dare to talk!" Tian Xiaoju slammed her hand on the table.

Zhao Fengqin was startled and quickly shut her mouth.

Tian Xiaoju sneered, "You know perfectly well that your little sister is engaged to Lu Yuanqing. Although they haven't officially held a wedding banquet yet, the Lu family and our Gu family are in-laws no matter what. Why did you have to go and spout nonsense in front of Lu Yuanqing?"

"Not only that, you also badmouthed Lu Yuanbo in front of all those old women in the village. What, do you want to mock Lu Yuanbo? Do you want everyone to join you in saying bad things about Lu Yuanbo?"

"Don't you think about it? With all the things Lu Yuanqing has done in the village, there are plenty of people who want Lu Yuanbo to find them better matchmaking partners!"

"Fang Qingqing is a girl from town, how could Lu Yuanbo have that kind of ability! He can only marry a village girl from the countryside!" Gu Hewang muttered under his breath.

“You too!” Tian Xiaoju pointed at him, her tone noticeably lower. “You want Lu Yuanbo to lose face and make the village laugh at him, but do you really think the villagers will laugh at him? For Lu Yuanqing's sake, they'll bring up you too!”

"I...I didn't think of that!" Zhao Fengqin quickly said.

After learning from Gu Hewang that he planned to tease Lu Yuanbo, she excitedly waited to see the result. Once she got the result, she couldn't wait to run up to Lu Yuanqing and show off.

There's no room to think about anything else!

stupid!

Aside from Zhao Fengqin and her son, the word flashed through everyone else's minds at the same time.

Tian Xiaoju shook her head helplessly. She had given birth to five children in her life and raised three of them. All three children were intelligent.

Now that I have grandchildren, I never imagined they would be so stupid.

You said you wanted to tease Lu Yuanbo, but you've already done it secretly. Can't you just enjoy it quietly afterwards?

Even if Lu Yuanbo and Lu Yuanqing had any sense of shame, they wouldn't have told anyone about this and would have swallowed this bitter pill in silence.

These two idiots, however, went out to show off and even confessed their despicable deeds in detail.

Now look what's happened, they've fallen out again.

It even delayed Gu Baoxia's life!

Tian Xiaoju couldn't care less about that; she was only concerned about Gu Baoxia and Lu Yuanqing's marriage.

“Baoxia, Yuanqing was just saying that in anger. Go talk to him properly tomorrow. Our family was in the wrong. I’ll have Hewang apologize to Lu Yuanbo. You and Lu Yuanqing are not young anymore. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of such a small matter!”

Before Gu Baoxia could say anything, Gu Hewang objected!

"Why should I apologize to Lu Yuanbo? He's a complete idiot. He deserves to be made a fool of. I'm not apologizing!"

Tian Xiaoju said sternly, "You have to apologize!"

"Why?!" Gu Hewang seemed to have suffered some great injustice, feeling that his grandmother, who had always doted on him, had changed!

"Yes, Mom! Let her talk to Lu Yuanqing about Aunt's matter. He's a grown man, don't be so petty. There's no need for Hewang to apologize to Lu Yuanbo. It would be too embarrassing for him!"

Tian Xiaoju clutched her aching chest, wanting to unleash a torrent of abuse on these two idiots.

"You're not going to apologize? You think this is the end of it? You have no choice now. Who told you to make such a big deal out of it? Huh!! Tell me! Now the whole village knows what you, Gu Hewang, did. Do you still want to live in this village? I'm asking you!"

Gu Hewang and Zhao Fengqin were startled by her voice.

"Mom, it's not that serious! It's just kids playing around!"

"Yes, Grandma, I haven't done anything wrong, what can they say about me!"

The rest of the Gu family began to question their own existence after hearing the remarks of these two idiots.

Are these really members of the Gu family?
