I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 97 Pig teammates

Gu Ting's wife said angrily, "My father-in-law said he will never help them again."

I've been helping his family for the past two years, but apart from Uncle Gu, none of them have gone to the fields.

Working for their family, they didn't provide meals, or even just someone to bring water; there was nothing.

Do you know what that family does? We're doing chores for them, and they're all just lying at home sleeping.

Dongfang Jin: Well, this resentment is quite strong. No one else can be so self-righteous.

A young married woman said, "No wonder you've gained so much weight."

"Your Gu family is really something else..."

"Exactly, I wonder what their clan leader is thinking?"

"What can we think? We'll just have to wait and see if that student who only passed the preliminary exam becomes the top scholar."

It's obvious they're not from the Gu family.

"Hmph, just this one family... If they really become the top scholar in the imperial examination, will they come back to help us?"

"I bet a bowl of rice that I won't!"

"I bet ten pounds of cornmeal, I won't!"

"I bet ten eggs I won't!"

Dongfang Jin...

Is this a gamble?

It seems that bystanders always have a clearer perspective!

……

As Li listened to those people's words, she glanced at Ye Shilan and cursed inwardly—fool.

She glanced disdainfully at the women who had made the bet, and after recognizing them, she scoffed, "Just wait and see, my uncle will definitely pass the exam."

Before she could speak.

Gu Meiyu pointed at Ye Shilan with a ferocious expression: "Well, that explains why there are always so few eggs at home."

I thought it was those two good-for-nothings who stole the food, but it turns out it was you, you greedy, lazy woman, who did it!

Dongfang Jin...

Pig mate!

The Li family...

What brings you here?

Upon hearing her sister-in-law call them "money-losing goods," she knew she was referring to her two daughters.

She got angry too: "Auntie, aren't you a good-for-nothing? Did you hit Xiaomin and Xiaoning again while I was away?"

Gu Meiyu's eyes darted around: "No."

"We hit them," Ye Shilan and the other person said at the same time.

Dongfang Jin: "..."

Hahaha……

The crowd of spectators...

"This is another internal conflict..."

"This family, every single day..."

"Anyway, the autumn harvest is almost over, so this will help us pass the time..."

"Sigh! It's always good to have a son at home to rely on..."

"This family is neither a proper mother-in-law nor a proper aunt or sister-in-law..."

"A family of drama queens..."

……

Li pointed at Gu Meiyu: "Gu Meiyu, if you hit my daughter again, I won't be polite to you!"

Gu Meiyu retorted, "I'm their aunt. Shouldn't they be punished for disobeying me?"

"you……"

Dongfang Jin smiled at them and then took a bite.

At this moment, Gu Yaozong walked over with a dark face and angrily shouted at the three women: "Shut up! You disgraceful things, get out of here!"

Dongfang Jin...

Holy crap, this guy is such a jerk.

He shamelessly walked up to Gu Chenglin and stopped not far away, his eyes filled with jealousy: "Big brother, how can you be so unfilial? I heard you live in this big mansion?"

Why?

Why should someone who has been trampled underfoot since childhood live in such a nice house?

Gu Chenglin stared at him with his dark eyes and asked coldly, "Oh? Am I unfilial?"

Seeing how calmly he asked, Gu Yaozong's face twisted slightly: "You live in such a nice house, how come you don't respect your parents? Why don't you bring your parents to live with you?"

Dongfang Jin...

So that's what you were waiting for? Your behavior is disgusting! Who do you think you are?

Jun Qirui...

Is this Brother Gu's younger brother? (Frowning)

Jun Wenhui also frowned, looking at the family and Gu Chenglin's appearance, which gave her an absurd illusion.

Lu Yunqing...

*Snort* It seems this family is just waiting for their own deaths to pass!

Anxi...

His Majesty said that this family will be kept around to entertain the second young master, and when the time is right, they will be dealt with...

The Gu family, and the Ye family's entire clan—none of them will escape...

Gu Chenglin stared at him and said quietly, "This house doesn't belong to me. My child and I are just staying here."

Gu Yaozu walked over angrily, pointed at Gu Chenglin and said, "You're talking nonsense. I heard from Sun Xing's two sons that you bought this house."

I invited them here for dinner a few days ago, can you honestly say I didn't?

Looking at the two brothers' disgusting faces, Gu Chenglin sneered, "You actually believe what a child says?"

These two are as selfish as ever, and they don't even try to hide the greed in their eyes.

Was this when they still thought he knew nothing? Back then, he thought he was the eldest son in the family.

It didn't matter if my parents weren't good to me, as long as they were good to my younger siblings. But now it seems that's not the case at all.

This family is rotten to the core.

Gu Yaozong looked smug, thinking he had caught him red-handed, and said in a grand and imposing manner, "Brother, whether it is true or not, the whole village is saying that this house is yours."

You're living the high life now, neglecting your parents and siblings. Is that how an older brother should act?

"Your parents are getting old. They've had a hard life, suffering all their lives. You should at least take care of them, shouldn't you?"

Gu Chenglin scoffed inwardly. An elder brother? He had no shame in being the elder brother in the Gu family.

These people's faces...

The daughter-in-law's words reveal that this family is not only shameless but also has an unseemly way of eating.

At that moment, he was incredibly grateful that it was someone's idea to expel him from the clan.

Dongfang Jin couldn't hold back any longer. Damn it, was Gu Chenglin responsible for all the hardships your parents went through?

What a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings! They still have the nerve to talk. All they know is how to covet other people's things. Are they trying to hold Gu Chenglin hostage?

She was about to go over and confront the pig when Lu Yunqing stopped her, gesturing for her to look in that direction.

Dongfang Jin looked in the direction and saw Lin Lizheng and his two sons, along with Gu Clan Chief and his son, walking over with Axi's dark face.

Seeing the sinister look on Clan Chief Gu's face, Dongfang Jin didn't bother to pay him any attention.

This kind of person will regret it one day.

As the head of a clan, he showed boundless favoritism, and was not afraid of losing his prestige or chilling the hearts of his clansmen.

She truly felt sorry for Aunt Gu's family, knowing that the Gu clan had such a clan leader.

Putting everything else aside, if Gu Chenglin's affair were to be exposed, the Gu family would probably not have a good ending.

Before Gu Chenglin could speak, Lin Lizheng strode up to Lu Yunqing, knelt down a few steps away, and shouted, "Your Excellency, Magistrate!"

His shout startled the villagers who had been gossiping, and then they all knelt down in a rush.

They then shouted, "Your Excellency, Magistrate!"

At this moment, Jun Wenhui also pulled Dongfang Jin down to kneel down.

Dongfang Jin...

I'm kneeling too...

Gu Chenglin... he's forgotten all about it!

Anxi...

You just remembered?

Jun Qirui...

This shout would force a court hearing on the spot. Thinking this, she reached out and pulled Gu Chenglin into the courtyard to move tables and chairs.

Gu Chenglin shook his head at him, indicating that Lu Yunqing was wearing casual clothes today.

Upon seeing this, Jun Qirui understood and stood beside Gu Chenglin, looking at those people.

Granny Gu was dumbfounded...

Why is the magistrate here with this unfilial son?

Gu Yaozong and Gu Yaozu were so frightened that they trembled all over and lowered their heads...

Li and Ye Shilan also knelt on the ground, heads bowed...

Gu Meiyu was even more dumbfounded. That person was the county magistrate... Thinking about it, her mind started to work.

She had heard that the new magistrate was unmarried and had a clean backyard.

Then she...

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became...

Seeing this, Lu Yunqing wondered if he was being forced to work. However, he did not call for anyone to get up.

Looking at Lin Peisheng with a solemn expression, he asked, "Are you the village head of Lingwu Village?"

Lin Lizheng kowtowed again: "Replying to Your Excellency, I, Lin Peisheng, am the village head and village chief of Lingwu Village."

"Lin Peisheng?"

"It's the grass people."

"I remember now, do you know about the Gu family's affairs?"

"This humble citizen knows a little about it."

"Oh? You, as the village chief and head of Lingwu Village, only know a little bit about this?" Lu Yunqing was quite dissatisfied with his words, and his voice was somewhat cold.

Lin Peisheng immediately kowtowed: "Reporting to the magistrate, the Gu... Gu clan still has a clan head."

"I am a humble village head, but... but sometimes I cannot overstep my bounds."
