Chapter 460 Back
After Gu Juncheng finished speaking, he went into the house with a cold face, carrying two eggplants and two cucumbers.
Liu Fen was stunned for a while. When she saw Gu Juncheng leave, she quickly chased after him, calling "Chengzi, Chengzi" all the way into the kitchen, and asked him, "Chengzi, what do you mean by this?"
"Why...why?" Liu Fen stammered, "Didn't you tell us to come and take care of your wife?"
“I called you here, but since you can’t take good care of things, then you should leave.” Gu Juncheng’s face was ashen.
"You...Chengzi...you..." Liu Fen saw that her son's face was not good, and she immediately felt wronged and her eyes filled with tears, but she did not dare to nag in front of her son anymore, and turned to go out to find Gu Dafu.
Gu Dafu rarely voiced his opinions at home, but he couldn't stand being kicked out by his son, so he came to the kitchen to support Liu Fen and defend himself.
"Are you trying to send us back?" he asked directly.
"Yes." Gu Juncheng didn't give in to him. "To put it politely, you could say we're inviting you to go back."
Gu Dafu, his face taut, said, "I'm your father!"
Gu Juncheng finished washing the vegetables, his hands still wet. He turned around, his face even darker than his father's, and he was also much taller. "My father? My mother? They almost harmed my child? Do you think I'd let you stay here to continue harming my child?"
Gu Dafu's face stiffened. "That's not harming...that's..."
"That's feudal superstition! The mess you've made not only cost my child his life, but also made me commit a crime? A dignified division commander, favoring sons over daughters, engaging in feudal superstitious activities at home? Do you think I've had it too easy in the army all these years?" Gu Juncheng coldly rebuked.
Gu Dafu was momentarily intimidated. He didn't understand military affairs or government affairs, but eradicating feudal superstition was a task the village committee had been carrying out. They only dared to do these kinds of activities in secret...
"Then... then just don't let outsiders know..." Gu Dafu's confidence waned.
“I know!” Gu Juncheng said loudly, “Heaven knows! I’ve never done anything wrong! I’m upright and honest, and I have a clear conscience! Also, I forgot to tell you, I love daughters! I want a daughter! You should be glad that Lin Qingping is alright this time, otherwise…”
"What else?" Gu Dafu blew his beard, about to assert his fatherly authority again.
“Otherwise…” Gu Juncheng glanced at his father and mother indifferently, “you can just pretend you never had a son like me!”
His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was heavy; every word was clear and piercing.
Upon hearing this, Liu Fen's tears welled up again.
Gu Dafu pointed at him and stammered "you, you, you" for a long time, but couldn't finish his sentence.
"Stop calling me 'you.' Pack your things tonight, and I'll send you off the island tomorrow morning." Gu Juncheng turned around and went to work on his dishes. His tall and strong back conveyed one thing: there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Gu Dafu was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He stormed back into his room and went off to vent his anger.
Liu Fen stayed behind to help Gu Juncheng cook.
“Son, at least we can cook a meal for your wife while we’re here. What will she eat if we leave?” Liu Fen cried, unwilling to give up.
Gu Juncheng remained unmoved, saying, "Eating dirt is better than being poisoned by you."
Liu Fen: ...
“What I said wasn’t poison! How could I possibly harm my own grandson?” Liu Fen cried out in protest.
"Yes, you won't harm your own grandson, but you will harm your own granddaughter!" Gu Juncheng slammed a washed chicken onto the chopping board.
Liu Fen was startled, "I...I didn't...I..."
Seeing that Gu Juncheng remained unmoved and started chopping the chicken, he changed his approach, saying, "Son, when have you ever done anything in the kitchen since you were little? What if you accidentally cut your hand? We'll..."
Gu Juncheng chopped off the chicken's neck with one stroke, and continued without turning his head, "I've dismembered human arms and legs, so how could I not dismember a chicken leg?"
Thinking back on the injuries he had suffered, Liu Fen realized that he was a soldier; he had seen it all…
"Alright, Mother, you don't need to say anymore. What I've decided won't be changed." Gu Juncheng chopped the chicken into pieces. "If you don't clean it up yourselves, I'll do it for you tonight!"
Throughout the entire process, Lin Qingping was kept in the dark.
Lin Qingping saw everything, but she remained silent. It was their son who wanted to send them back, not her...
Moreover, she is actually very tolerant. If there was even the slightest kindness shown to her in her past life, she would repay it many times or even a hundred times in this life. This is because in her previous life, she received far too little love, so little that she was so grateful for even the smallest amount that she wished she could repay it with overflowing gratitude.
Therefore, no matter how much her in-laws' lifestyle and values conflict with her, she will not really hold it against them, because she truly remembers the tolerance her in-laws showed her in her previous life, even after death.
But this time, they challenged her bottom line—her child—something she truly could not forgive.
That evening, Gu Dafu and Liu Fen packed their things, and the next morning, Gu Juncheng personally took them to board the boat.
As she was leaving, Liu Fen looked at Lin Qingping, tears streaming down her face. "Pingzi, I really didn't mean to hurt you. I...I...Can you please not hold a grudge against me?"
Seeing her mother-in-law's expectant look, Gu Juncheng spoke up before Lin Qingping could answer her question.
"Stop crying, the child knows everything! If you keep crying in front of Lin Qingping, the child will cry too!" Gu Juncheng said to his mother without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, Liu Fen quickly stopped crying.
"Bottle, your father and I are going back now. Write back if you want anything to eat, and I'll send it to you. You want..."
Liu Fen gave a long list of instructions, and only left when she could no longer continue. Her eyes were red.
With her in-laws gone, Lin Qingping felt a sense of relief as she faced a much emptier home. The knots that had been weighing on her heart finally loosened.
Gu Juncheng came back at noon to cook for her. He also bought two dishes from the cafeteria to see if she would like them.
At that time, Lin Qingping was in the kitchen preparing ingredients, getting ready to cook something to eat.
"Hey, why are you doing this yourself?" Gu Juncheng asked as he came in.
Lin Qingping glared at him, "I'm just pregnant, not disabled."
"Sit down, sit down. I'll get you whatever you want to eat." He helped her up and forced her to sit on the sofa.
Watching his busy figure, Lin Qingping couldn't bear to say something: What you make is worse than what the cafeteria serves...
