Chapter 40

  Why can't we separate the family? because…

   "The patriarch refuses." Gu Yunshu lowered his head and said the patriarch, his resentful eyes turned red.

   The current patriarch of the Gu family has a personal grudge with his father, Gu Dajiang, so in any matter, he must press them hard.

   When Gu Dajiang was six years old, he was spotted by the only old scholar in the village. He said that Gu Dajiang has a talent for reading, as long as he cultivates it well, his future will be unlimited.

   Old Man Gu was a little moved when he heard this, but Mr. Zhao refused. Gu Dajiang is promising, but his son should not be crushed to death? In the future, she will have to see his face to live.

   She kept making trouble, saying that her family was poor and had no money to buy paper and pencils for repairs, and that Gu Dajiang wanted to help the family with work, so she had no time.

   Old man Gu quickly compromised, and later the old patriarch who was in his 80s came forward and severely reprimanded the two.

"There is a promising scholar in the family, that is a matter of honor for the ancestors. The ancestors are watching from the sky, how can it be destroyed by a woman. In the future, he will be an official and be a member of the Fuze clan. Think about how glorious the Gu family has been since then."

  The old patriarch intervened strongly, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone came out of the clan. The old scholar didn't want Gu Dajiang's shackles, so he accepted Gu Dajiang as a student and did his best to help him alone.

   But the good times didn't last long. Gu Dajiang had been studying for five years, and the old Xiucai just planned to let him take the Tongsheng test, but the old patriarch passed away at an old age. He himself is not in good health, and after two months, there is no wind chill.

  The current patriarch took the seat by means of not very bright. At that time, he also intended to let the old Xiucai accept his son as a student, but his son was not expected to study, so the old Xiucai politely refused.

   But I don't know what happened, this thing was spread like a joke, and he compared his son to Gu Dajiang, saying he was an idiot. Because his son couldn't stand the ridicule, he lost his temper at home, bumped into his newly pregnant wife, and lost the child in his womb.

   I can't blame my son for this, and I can't find the source of the rumors, so I can only put all the reasons on Gu Dajiang and the old scholar.

  After the old patriarch and the old scholar passed away one after another, Gu Dajiang was naturally unable to continue his studies. The current patriarch did not even allow him to take the Tongsheng exam, and he was trapped at home by the Zhao clan to work.

   Later, by chance, the shopkeeper of a restaurant in the town took a fancy to him, and he became the accountant based on the words he recognized in those years.

  Gu Dajiang's book was not read for nothing. He knew that their house was not doing well at home, so he was always looking for opportunities to split up.

  When Mrs. Yang gave birth to Gu Yundong, she was beaten by Mrs. Zhao and gave birth prematurely, and the bleeding almost didn't save her life. It was because of that time that Yang's health was not good, and he did not have children for many years. It was not until Gu Yundong was eight years old that Gu Yunshu was born.

  It was also that time, Gu Dajiang broke up with a tough attitude.

   However, after two months, the old man Gu, who was unemployed at home, regretted it and refused to admit the separation.

  The current patriarch and village chief tore up the separation documents on the spot and brought Gu Dajiang back together. If Gu Dajiang did not agree, he would expel their family from the clan on the charge of unfilial piety.

   Eliminate the clan! !

  Without a family, it is like a rootless duckweed, unable to even return leaves to their roots.

   This is a very serious matter. This is the stigma of having to go to the yamen to register and follow them for the rest of your life. Not to mention Gu Dajiang himself, but to say that his children will always be looked down upon, pointed at, inferior to others, and difficult to marry.
