Chapter 1112 - Fifth Cousin Shows His Claws (5)



Gu Jinxuan had been furious. He had charged over and trashed Zhou Yaozhu. How dare that useless, fat pig dare to consider his younger cousin?

He would beat him to death!

Gu Qingyao was obedient, mature, and beautiful. Everyone in the Gu family loved her. Although Gu Jinxuan had spent many years away from home and was often up to no good, his family’s influence meant that he was still very protective of Gu Qingyao.

When he came back and heard that Zhou Yaozhu actually had designs on his Younger Cousin, he was immediately infuriated. He beat Zhou Yaozhu severely, and the latter fled.

Zhou Ping had scolded Gu Jinxuan for going overboard, which had resulted in a huge quarrel between the two of them.

But ultimately, he had not told Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin about the incident. If Gu Jinlin found out, Zhou Yaozhu would probably have to suffer another beating.

When Zhou Ping heard Gu Jinxuan speaking like that, she said in a shaking voice, “Xuan’er, your… your cousin was just confused. Only confused. He wasn’t thinking of marrying Yao Yao. Yao Yao was engaged to Mo Beihan long ago. How could he…”

“Where’s the money?” asked Gu Jinxuan icily.

Zhou Ping looked at him for a long time. Finally, she had no choice but to point to a box under the bed.

Gu Jinxuan hurriedly took it out and opened it. There were really many banknotes in it. The bankbook was there too. He opened it to look. There was not a single cent recorded there.

Gu Jinxuan’s eyes immediately widened. He was in shock for a long time.

Go-gone?

He hurriedly counted the cash in the box. There was only 3,300 yuan.

Gu Jinxuan quivered with rage. “Why is there only over three thousand yuan left? There was twenty thousand yuan to start with. Where’s the rest of the money?”

By this time, Zhou Ping could not conceal the truth any longer, so she just told him.

“Your grandmother was ill awhile ago. It costs money to see the doctor. Your Uncle is in poor health too and needs money. I… I sent them fifteen thousand yuan, then bought them some presents and herbs. The rest of the money is here.”

Gu Jinxuan: “…”

He stared at Zhou Ping. He suddenly felt as if he did not know his own mother.

“Mother, Grandmother goes ill dozens of times every year. Every time she asks you for money, she’s either ill or has fallen down. Otherwise, she’ll say that Uncle’s health is poor. She’s been ill for so many years but is still energetic and lively. The small sums you usually give them don’t matter, but this time, you actually gave them fifteen thousand yuan. Mother, you’re really very generous.”

Zhou Ping’s mouth twitched, but she did not reply.

“Do you know how long it took for Father to earn this sum of money? Do you know how long it took for Father and Third Brother to save this sum?”

Zhou Ping was displeased to be interrogated by her favorite son. She replied, “The Gu family’s business is so large; what’s a small sum like that? I’ve been married into the Gu family for so many years and given birth to four sons. Can’t I send some money to my elderly mother to treat her illness?”

“Are you treating her illness?” Gu Jinxuan’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. “Over the years, have we ever said anything when you sent things back? Father only asked you to restrain yourself a little. Did he say you can’t be filial to your family?”

“But what about you? You’re practically supporting the entire family. You’re nicer to those children than you are to Little Seven and Little Eight. Father and Third Brother saved so hard to get this money and wanted to use it to buy nicer furniture for our family. But you just quietly mailed it all back to your family?”

“I didn’t mail it all back. Look, there’s still over three thousand yuan here. That’s enough for furniture!”

“You…” Gu Jinxuan was so angry that the veins on his forehead stood out.
