Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Why Is She So Stubborn?

At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, Wang Dilai was just a fool with too much money.

But Wang Dilai didn’t see it that way. “It’s easy for you all to talk when it’s not your teeth that got knocked out! Qin Yuelan, bring Gu Mo over here right now and make him drink this talisman water, or you can take him and get out of the Gu family! We can’t afford to keep a jinx like him in our house.”

Her own son, whom she cherished so much, was being called a jinx in front of everyone. Qin Yuelan felt both sad and wronged.

But she was soft-tempered and couldn’t say anything tough at a time like this. She could only look at Gu Jianguo with tears in her eyes.

Gu Jianguo was an honest man. All these years, he’d just kept his head down and worked, barely saying a word. But now, meeting Qin Yuelan’s tearful gaze, his heart ached. “Mom, these days we’re supposed to believe in science, not feudal superstitions. That Zhao fortune-teller is just scamming you.”

Wang Dilai pointed at Gu Jianguo with a trembling finger. “Well, well! Eldest son, you’ve grown wings now, huh? Got yourself a wife and forgot about your mother! You won’t even listen to me anymore.”

Xu Shuhua snorted. “Your youngest son isn’t even married yet, and hasn’t he forgotten you too? All he thinks about these days is how to get away from you!”

As soon as Xu Shuhua finished speaking, Gu Mo nodded and said slowly, word by word, “Just now, Uncle asked me to help him figure out a way to marry Chunxiang.”

Hearing this, Wang Dilai got even angrier. “Listen to that! He’s even lying now. That’s what happens when you’re possessed by evil spirits!”

“Evil spirits, my foot!” Xu Shuhua shot back. “You just can’t control your youngest son, so you pick on the easy target and take it out on Daibao! Isn’t that right, everyone?”

She looked around, and the others all nodded in agreement. “That’s right!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Old Lady Yu! What business is it of yours what happens in our family? Why do you have to meddle?” Wang Dilai snapped.

Xu Shuhua just grinned. “I’m just a warm-hearted person, can’t stand seeing old folks bully kids and throw their weight around. What, you don’t want people to interfere? Then stop doing such rotten things!”

Before Wang Dilai could reply, Xu Shuhua turned to Gu Jiandong, who was sitting at the doorway. “Gu Jiandong, want me to help you? I’ll talk your mom into agreeing to your marriage with Li Chunxiang.”

Gu Jiandong, who had just been watching the show with a look of indifference, perked up instantly. “Aunt Yu, are you serious? You really think you can convince my mom?”

As soon as he said this, everyone burst out laughing, and the looks they gave Wang Dilai grew even more meaningful.

Wang Dilai hadn’t expected Gu Jiandong to turn on her like that. She was so angry she nearly fainted. “Jiandong, what are you saying?”

Gu Jiandong stood up and looked at Wang Dilai earnestly. “Mom, Chunxiang and I really love each other. Please let us get married! I promise, when we have kids, they’ll be smart and cute.”

He glanced at Gu Mo. “They won’t end up like Gu Mo, ‘possessed by evil spirits.’ Then you’ll have grandkids to hold!”

Wang Dilai’s hand shook as she pointed at Gu Jiandong. “Jiandong, you, you—”

Before she could finish, her legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground.

The bowl of talisman water spilled everywhere.

Seeing there was no more talisman water, Qin Yuelan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, at least Gu Mo wouldn’t have to drink it now.

Although Gu Jianguo was unhappy with Wang Dilai’s behavior just now, he couldn’t just leave her lying on the ground. He called to Gu Jiandong, “Jiandong, come help me get Mom inside.”

Jiandong walked over reluctantly, still muttering, “Why is she so stubborn!”

(Good night, please vote!)"
