The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 603 The Gunpowder Depot Exploded

Gu Youtian was so angry that he almost fell down in the snow.

This son always causes trouble for him. Not only did he break his leg, but he also caused him to be separated from Wu Ren. Now he blew up the house and almost killed his entire family.

Can't bear it.

Gu Youtian went up to him, slapped Gu Ruinian in the face and yelled, "Why don't you just keep quiet for a moment? What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to drag your whole family to death with you?"

Years ago, he had planned to agree to the Xu family's proposal to let Gu Ruinian become the Xu family's son-in-law.

After Mr. Gu's persuasion and Mrs. Jia's crying and begging, Gu Ruinian was given a chance.

He regretted it very much.

Gu Ruinian covered his face and glared at Gu Youtian. He really wanted to blow up all the members of the Gu family to death.

Especially Gu Youtian.

Wei came to her senses, hugged Yaojia and cried, "Ruinian, no matter how much you dislike Yaojia, you can't think of taking his life. Don't you know that the gunpowder you made can kill people? You led Yaojia to light it, what were you thinking?"

Wei really didn't expect that Gu Ruinian was so vicious as to use the Yao family to ignite the fuse of the firecrackers.

If her son was killed in the explosion, Gu Ruinian would find all kinds of excuses, and in the end he would definitely attribute it to the Yao family being ignorant and setting off firecrackers behind the adults' backs.

If Mr. Gu tries to smooth things over at that time, her son’s death will be in vain.

Wei wanted to cut Gu Ruinian into pieces.

“Fengnian, I know Ruinian doesn’t like me as his sister-in-law, but you are his brother, and Yaojia is your son. When he blew up Yaojia, did he ever think about how you felt as a brother?”

Although Wei had the intention of instigating Gu Fengnian to beat Gu Ruinian, her fear and tears were also genuine.

Her son was nearly killed in a bombing tonight.

Gu Fengnian was so angry that he wanted to beat Gu Ruinian to death without Wei's instigation.

On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the children in the village carried lanterns and ate melons in the old house of the Gu family despite the biting cold wind.

The flickering lights reflecting the light of the snow danced on Gu Fengnian's face, which was distorted by anger.

Gu Ruinian looked at Gu Fengnian's face through the light and felt inexplicably scared.

He was always eloquent, but now facing the furious Gu Fengnian, he could not utter a word.

Xiaolong stood quietly beside Tong Huaqiong, leaning against the snow with a fire stick in his hand.

Gu Fengnian looked around and saw the thick fire stick in Xiaolong's hand. Ignoring Xiaolong's exclamation, he snatched it and hit Gu Ruinian.

The blows from the sticks were extremely heavy. If it weren't for the thick cotton-padded jacket and trousers that Gu Ruinian was wearing in winter, his spine would have been broken.

When an honest person gets angry, it can be fatal.

The village chief was afraid that someone would be killed and wanted to step forward to stop them, but when he thought that Gu Ruinian was secretly making gunpowder and would drag the whole village into it, he gave up the idea of ​​stopping him.

He is a father after all. If anyone wants to kill his son, he would want to kill that person.

Thinking of his son, the village chief recalled the trouble caused by Gu Ruinian in the autumn, when his son Liu Qingsong was almost poisoned to death.

Gu Ruinian's steps were weak and he couldn't run away or hide, so he had to endure the beating from Gu Fengnian.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu watched coldly without saying a word.

The weather was too cold. The two old people were frightened by the fire and broke into cold sweats. After coming out, they were shocked by the cold wind and felt a little feverish.

The tribesmen brought thick cotton clothes to wrap the two people and brought ginger soup.

"Fengnian, beat this unfilial thing hard for me." After warming up, Old Lady Gu said in a trembling voice.

Mrs. Gu’s words reminded the frightened Jia.

It was the first time she saw her eldest son get angry.

Jia was afraid that Gu Fengnian would beat her youngest son to death.

He rushed forward and hugged Gu Ruinian, shouting, "If you want to kill him, kill me first."

Gu Ruinian's invention of gunpowder was not hidden from Jia, and Jia was convinced that everything her youngest son did was for the sake of his family.

The gunpowder explosion was an accident.

When Tong Huaqiong saw Jia coming forward, she wondered if Jia’s mind was controlled by some plot, otherwise how could she become a die-hard fan of Gu Ruinian and never give up?

If her son had made gunpowder and almost killed the whole family, she would have kicked him out long ago.

With Jia trying to stop him, Gu Fengnian was afraid to use the weapon and was so angry that he gasped while holding the stick.

"You've been tinkering around at home every day. I thought you had settled down, but it turns out you were making gunpowder. Ruinian, you're really brave."

"Don't think I don't know what you think. You are a scholar who has been relegated to poverty all day long, but you just don't admit that you are useless. You had an affair with Xu Zaohua and your leg was broken. You didn't dare to hate the Zheng family, so you hated the whole family. You hated Xiaoxue for not marrying for you, you hated me for not digging out my bones and bleeding to continue to support you, you hated your sister-in-law for thinking about her own son, you hated Yaojia for being praised by Master Su for his studies...so you want to blow us all to death."

"You are a coward with a lot of bad intentions. You want to blow someone up but you don't dare to do it yourself, and you even want to involve my son. I used to think that no matter what, we have the same parents and are a family. I didn't expect that you have already regarded me as an enemy. In this case, we will no longer be brothers."

Gu Fengnian yelled at Gu Ruinian, expressing his dissatisfaction with his work.

"A good year..."

Gu Fengnian looked at Jia coldly and interrupted her, "Mother, how many children do you have? Open your eyes and take a look. You have two sons and a daughter. Aren't Xiaoxue and I your children? You have hurt our hearts again and again for Gu Ruinian. If that's the case, then you will only have Gu Ruinian as your son in the future."

Jia's face was covered with tears, but she still guarded Gu Ruinian in a protective manner.

Gu Fengnian just felt chilled.

At this time there was another loud bang.

The flames from the backyard of the old house shot up into the sky.

In the firelight, Gu Ruinian's face looked ashen.

His powder magazine exploded!

Everyone was shouting, some were carrying buckets, and they all rushed to put out the fire.

There was a cellar for storing grain in the backyard of the old house. Since there was not much grain in the old house, the cellar was abandoned.

Gu Ruinian was afraid that the large amount of gunpowder would be discovered, so he hid the gunpowder inside.

Just now, Gu Jingzhe and his men searched but found nothing, they only found gunpowder in the woodshed.

But it exploded at this moment.

After three consecutive shocks, Mr. Gu fainted in the snow.

Tong Huaqiong didn't want to hold a funeral at home at this time, so she asked someone to call a doctor.

Most people went to put out the fire, and the remaining girls and wives looked at each other, wondering who would carry Old Man Gu into the house.

"I come."

In the firelight, Gu Honglian's eyes lit up.

A man appeared in front of him and carried Old Man Gu on his back.

Tong Huaqiong recognized the man as the great scholar Fan Tong.

No one knows why Fan Tong appeared in Qinghe Bay.

Tong Huaqiong followed him into the old house.

The roof of the old house was burned and the walls were cracked.

Fortunately, it was still habitable. Old Mrs. Gu shook off the mud and dust on the bed while crying, and Fan Tong took the opportunity to put Old Man Gu on the bed.

The doctor came walking on the snow and gave Mr. Gu a few injections. Mr. Gu opened his eyes, listened to the fire being put out outside, and a line of tears slid down his face.

"Master, are you feeling better?"

Gu Jingzhe came in from outside and said to Grandpa Gu, "Fortunately, the gunpowder exploded in the cellar, and the fire did not spread. The village chief is leading people to put out the fire."

Old Man Gu raised his eyes and looked at the elegant Gu Jingzhe, feeling mixed emotions.
