Chapter 3: The Blame Falls on the Wu Family
Liu Amang, you might as well give up on this hope! Do I not know the character of your Liu family? Don't think that I am unaware of the schemes your family is plotting. Hmph, even if this young lady were to marry a pig or a dog, or take in a fool as a son-in-law, it would not satisfy your Liu family's desires.
... ...
In the study, Guo Ye curled up in a ball under the quilt that Chunxiang had sent him the previous night, sleeping through the night. As he slowly opened his eyes, he thought to himself, damn it, his back ached, his waist was sore, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Guo Ye restrained his temper and reminded himself not to act impulsively. He simply hid in the study, curling up and wrapping himself in the blanket again, muttering: "Only fools would stick their necks out."
Rely on ... ...
What? You disagree? Fine, let Guo's boy come out. Damn it, I want to see what kind of toad has stolen the swan meat that was about to be in my mouth.
However, upon further scrutiny, Guo Ye exclaimed, my goodness, no wonder Wu Xiuxiu would rather enter a sham marriage or marry a pig or a dog than marry Liu Amang
In fact, there is no need for speculation; looking at the two servants resembling housekeepers standing behind Liu Amang, who is seated and rolling up his sleeves as if to act as a hired thug, it is evident that this person is undoubtedly Liu Amang.
Guo Ye listened to Uncle Fu's metaphor and felt genuinely angry. So, no one in the Wu family has ever looked at the young master with any respect?
Liu Amang, you son of a village chief, not even a second-generation official, who gave you such shameless confidence? Is it true that the most despicable are invincible? Be careful, the wind might just snap your tongue
With three steps taken as two, Guo Ye stepped over the threshold and entered the living room
Ceng ceng ceng ... ...
In your heart, the emotional guy is nothing but a fool worse than a pig or a dog
Alas, how could he end up looking like this? Upon seeing Liu Amang's character, Guo Ye's confidence instantly soared. He touched his own cheek, convinced that his handsome features could easily overshadow this pig-nosed, green onion-inserted appearance.
Suddenly, a faint sound of angry scolding and roaring came from outside the study. Guo Ye listened carefully, and the voice seemed to be coming from the direction of the Wu family's front yard living room
Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after taking the blame for the Wu family yesterday, the Liu family would come knocking today, as swift as a black whirlwind, truly fast indeed
Upon thinking of this, Guo Ye could not help but smile
Upon hearing Guo Ye's words, Uncle Fu was quite surprised. Although the young master's language was crude, it was indeed quite compelling. However, the Liu family in Dongliu Township was certainly not composed of good-natured individuals, especially the village head Liu Laolai, who was a cunning old man. Even the master had to show him some deference due to his position as village head.
This Liu Amang fellow actually has a garlic nose, and it's the kind with thick nostrils pointing upwards, resembling a garlic bulb. If you were to take a quick glance in the dark of night, you might think that Zhu Bajie had been reincarnated.
What a pity, the autumn wind and autumn rain are so desolate, only I, Guo Ye, suffer the most
Immediately afterwards, the malicious curses of Liu Amang echoed in succession
At this moment, Guo Ye was completely stirred up; is this the treatment for a son-in-law? Damn it, today I will definitely rise up and show you all.
How dare you challenge me?
Upon hearing this, Liu Amang's face turned as red as a pig's liver. He suddenly felt as if standing in the living room was akin to having that thing in his pants pulled out, making him so furious that he trembled in the wind. In an instant, he shot a glance at the two lackeys behind him.
Father-in-law Wu Maocai was slightly taken aback, shifting his gaze from the teacup in his hand to Guo Ye, this false son-in-law.
What does it mean to marry a pig or a dog, and to recruit a fool as a son-in-law
As the laughter subsided, the attention of everyone in the living room was entirely focused on the recently arrived Guo Ye, though the reactions among the crowd varied significantly.
Guo Yexiong, full of vigor and confidence, made his way through the Wu family's long corridor and finally arrived at the entrance of the living room in the front courtyard.
However, seeing the old man with a face full of wrinkles showing concern for him, he did not take it to heart too much. He waved his hand to politely decline Uncle Fu's kindness and said loudly: "What is there to be afraid of? When a person dies, they face the sky; if they do not die, they live for countless years. Today, I, Guo Ye, am here to offer a stick of incense to Buddha, and I want everyone in the Wu family, inside and out, to know that I, Guo Ye, am also a capable young man."
Is it not like a pig eating, grunting... grunting...
Uncle Fu pulled Guo Ye into a secluded corner and whispered, "Young master, what are you doing? The Liu family has come to our Wu family specifically to see you, clearly intending to cause trouble. You cannot go in; once you do, it will be like a meat bun thrown to a dog, going in with no chance of coming back out."
Haha ... ...
"What kind of nonsense is this about marrying off a son-in-law? Do you think you can just casually find some happy-go-lucky fool to fool the Liu family?"
Just as Guo Ye was not prepared to get involved in this murky situation, he suddenly heard Wu Xiuxiu's cold reprimand directed at Liu Amang.
Guo Ye, without waiting for Uncle Fu to speak again, charged directly into the living room. After taking a few steps forward, he turned back and flashed a bright smile at Uncle Fu, saying: "Uncle Fu, there is no need to worry, I have my own way to deal with this Liu Amang"
Guo Ye raised his right hand, holding up one finger, the index finger
Guo Ye spent his first night since his journey began in the lonely, empty, and cold study, and at the same time, he experienced his first wedding night in that very study
After speaking, he walked straight towards the living room without looking back
Seeing the son-in-law's spirit and courage, Uncle Fu thought to himself that the son-in-law is actually not a bad person
I can't believe that this guy has really gotten himself into this mess
... ...
Liu Amang is an ordinary-looking young man; he cannot be described as tall, rich, or handsome. However, he is the son of a village chief and a township chief. Even if he is not a second-generation official, he can still associate with the wealthy second-generation, making him completely unrelated to the terms short, poor, and unattractive.
Miss Xiu Xiu, what is so special about a tenant farmer's child? Hurry up and divorce him, and marry me, your Liu family brother, so you can enjoy a good life
Behind Wu Maocai stood a beautiful woman with a frosty expression, exuding an aura of menace; it was none other than his fake wife, Wu Xiuxiu
However, Guo Ye remained unperturbed by honor or disgrace, and with courtesy and decorum, he nodded slightly, acknowledging that he was indeed the son-in-law of the Wu family
Upon considering this, Uncle Fu wished to speak again to persuade Guo Ye to stay.
Little did anyone know that Guo Ye was as stubborn as a turtle eating a weight, resolutely determined. Today, he was set on confronting Liu Amang, who was making a scene in the living room.
The voice was somewhat sharp and hoarse, resembling that of a young person. However, the content of the young person's furious curses and roars made Guo Ye unable to bear listening any longer
It was Liu Amang who, with a grunt, took two deep breaths, placed his hands on his hips, stood up from the chair, tilted his head, and looked at Guo Ye with a sneer, derisively mocking, "Are you the son of the tenant farmer who was adopted by the Wu family?"
Earlier, Wu Xiuxiu said I am a fool, and you, Butler Fu, also look down on me, saying I am a meat bun
... ...
Swish swish swish
Taking a careful look at Liu Amang, this young man, around twenty years old, dressed in a long robe made of silk fabric, with a polyester belt around his waist, he indeed has a bit of the flavor of a dandy.
What a brazen thing this is, which scoundrel failed to cover his own pants and ended up exposing you instead
Guo Yezhen wanted to give Uncle Fu the middle finger as a friendly greeting to him
As he casually glanced around the room, he saw a portly old man seated in the living room, dressed in a brown silk robe, his expression displeased as he sipped tea from his cup. Guo Ye did not need to guess; this plump old man was his father-in-law, Wu Maocai, the head of the Wu family
With a raised index finger gently swaying from side to side, it then changed direction to point directly at the smug Liu Amang, casting a dismissive glance at the other party and mocking him by saying
Upon seeing Guo Ye's acknowledgment, Liu Amang immediately became energized, rolled up his sleeves, and pointed at Guo Ye's nose, cursing loudly: "You wretched toad, don't you weigh your own worth? The swan meat near my mouth is something you can nibble on? Do you not know that in the territory of Dongliu Township, a mere sneeze from the Liu family could blow the roof off your dilapidated hut?"
As for the young man sitting in a chair on the right side of the living room, casually crossing his legs and humming a tune while glancing at Guo Ye, he should be Liu Amang, the son of the village head.
Old Man Wu, if you do not reveal the secrets today, I, Liu Amang, will not leave
What?
Guo Ye was not only speculating about whether Liu Amang, that young man, ate his porridge with his mouth or sucked it through his nose
As soon as he reached the doorway, he noticed several maids and servants hiding in various corners outside the living room, secretly observing the situation inside. Guo Ye couldn't help but chuckle at this sight; the gossipmongers are indeed ubiquitous, no matter the time or place.
How on earth can one get married like this
What a worthless son of a local official, at best just a petty thug from a remote village, damn it, you aren't even a second-generation official, what are you so proud of!
Guo Ye took a few steps forward, just as he was about to enter the living room, but was stopped in his tracks by the butler, Fu Bo, who reached out to block his way
Just as Guo Ye was thinking of getting up to stretch and move his arms and legs...
Guo Ye listened to Liu Amang's sharp and sarcastic words, glanced at the disdainful looks from the two lackeys behind Liu Amang, and then observed Wu Xiuxiu and Wu Maocai, who appeared somewhat fearful of Liu Amang's aggressive demeanor, worried that they might embarrass the Wu family. After much contemplation, Guo Ye's pent-up emotions finally erupted.
Where is Wu Xiuxiu
Determined, Guo Ye swiftly flipped the quilt onto the floor, then put on his shoes, adjusted his cap, and smoothed out the wrinkles in his sleeping robe. Taking a deep breath, he strode confidently out of the study, heading towards the living room in the front courtyard of the Wu family.
At this moment, he felt as if he were possessed by Kongming, determined to use his eloquence to forcefully drive away that scoundrel Liu Amang
Guo Ye's pupils constricted, and he felt a deep disdain in his heart. He opened his mouth to speak to the tenant farmers, then closed it again. What about the tenant farmers? Did they provoke you? You are like Zhu Bajie, the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.
I can't believe it! The words escaped from Guo Ye's lips.
Damn it, Wu Xiuxiu, you are really bullying people too much
At this moment, he felt an immense ambition, driven solely by the desire to compete with that girl Wu Xiuxiu, not wanting the Wu family to look down on him.
He looked at Uncle Fu in confusion, wondering what was going on
... ...
Numbed, Guo Ye, who was listening intently in the study, felt increasingly uncomfortable. This is really bullying to the point of coming to my grandmother's house. Could this scoundrel be the Liu Amang that Wu Xiuxiu mentioned?
However, she did not speak, but was instead contemplating how to drive the annoying pest Liu Amang out of the Wu family
In the bridal chamber, flowers bloom as one ascends the ranks, while the unfortunate underdog sleeps in the study
It is not your fault to be unattractive, but it is indeed wrong for you to come out and scare people
Wu Xiuxiu's words not only caused Liu Amang to jump up in anger and curse, but also thoroughly infuriated Guo Ye in the study.
Although surprised, there was more of a sense of impatience, pondering, what are you doing here at such a critical moment? Isn't this just adding to the chaos?
