Chapter 3 Goodbye, Gu Zhao

"What do you mean, what kind of settlement do you want?"

"I married into your Gu family five years ago, and I brought a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight dollars. I don't want to count the silver and fines in it." She asked Chunri to show him the account book. "The Gu family is a family of military generals, and my father-in-law is a decent man.

, the family didn’t have much savings. When I got married, I was faced with such a mess.”

"My dowry was replenished everywhere, and this is how the Gu family is now prosperous."

"The war broke out the year before last, and many former soldiers of the Gu family died. The army could not allocate any silver. I couldn't bear to see my father-in-law sad, so I used my dowry to supplement the soldiers."

"Gu Zhao," she stared down at her husband with a smile on her lips, "While I am running around for the Gu family, while I am planning carefully for the Gu family, what are you doing? Spending a lot of money to support your sweetheart?"

"enough!"

Gu Zhao roared angrily and felt a burning pain in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped hard twice.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"I want to make peace."

Gu Zhao suddenly realized that what Lin Chonghan said at that time was not angry words. She really wanted to reconcile, wanted to leave the Gu family, and leave him.

"Impossible! I don't agree," he said awkwardly, "If we reconcile, how will our Gu family be able to hold our heads high in the capital in the future?"

Gu Shizhong looked at his second son kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely exhausted. Originally, he was still thinking about everyone getting together during the New Year, and looking forward to his daughter-in-law giving him grandchildren after the New Year. But now, all of this has been taken care of by him.

The son whose heart was blinded by lard was ruined.

"Go to the ancestral hall and invite the clan leader," he said, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, regardless of his son's embarrassment, "our Gu family agrees to divorce."

The last time Lin Chonghan came to the ancestral hall was when she got married, but this time she returned to her old place and was actually leaving here completely. What surprised her was that when she came to the ancestral hall this time, she only felt happy and relieved, without any trace of sadness.

Abandon.

The Gu family was over fifty years old and had experienced many storms. When he found out, he put down his pen and said, "I don't agree with reconciliation. Our Gu family has never had any precedent for reconciliation, only divorce."

"Daughter of the Lin family, if you insist on leaving, you will have no choice but to let Zhiyuan divorce you."

Lin Chonghan looked at him without fear and said: "I don't agree either. I have been married to the Gu family for five years and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Now that I am going out with a divorce letter, how will the world see my Lin family?"

?”

One of the clan elders laughed out loud: "As expected? You haven't had an heir for five years. What's the difference between you and a rooster that can't lay eggs? Do you still want to divorce?"

"Your parents-in-law are also kind, otherwise they would have kicked you out with a divorce letter."

Lin Chonghan stood in the ancestral hall and suddenly became aware of the strange looks in the eyes of the people around her. They were all whispering to her, discussing her lack of children, her jealousy, and the differences between her and secular women.

"She is just an ordinary wife. Since you have married in, you are a member of our family and should obey your husband when you get married."

She felt cold all over and didn't want to look back at Gu Zhao's face.

Lin Chonghan remembered that day again, when she was out of breath crying in her room; he recalled that when she was young, Gu Qingzhang told her that if you make up your mind to do something, you should give it a try and never regret it.

So she calmed down and said: "I have really had nothing to do for five years, but the world has not been peaceful in these five years. The second son of the Gu family often goes to join the army and has very little time to return home. If the clan leader disagrees, it doesn't matter. I have already sent someone

Go and invite my father. If the Gu family does not agree to divorce, then we will meet in court."

“How can a family’s scandal be made public?”

"Family scandals should not be made public," Lin Chonghan looked at everyone with stern eyes, "Then the money for the Gu family's education was spent on my dowry? When the children of the Gu family took part in the imperial examination, was it used on my dowry?"

"Which of the Gu family's affairs did not involve my Lin Chonghan's money?"

There are grandchildren in the families of all clans, and they also know that the Gu family has been able to survive these years thanks to Lin Chonghan's management, and they fell silent for a while. The clan elder who had just spoken was unwilling to give up, and when he was about to speak, something suddenly happened outside the door.

There was a shout——

"well said!"

The person who came was tall and slender, and although there was a bit of a sick look between his brows, his demeanor was elegant and unrestrained, and he was like a scholar who was relegated to immortality.

"Others want to see this ancestral hall from the outside." He opened the door but did not come in. Instead, he looked at the door for a long time. "I don't know what kind of prosperous family they think this is. How could they know that it is so rotten inside."

"A house full of masculine men actually wants to make a living by sucking the blood of a weak woman. Even if they suck blood, they also blame the woman for not being stupid enough to let them suck blood. If it were me, I would have found a rope to hang myself on.

Forget it."

Lin Chonghan almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Five years later, his second brother is still so sharp and cunning.

"Lin Shijing!"

Although he did not mention his name, Gu Zhao's face turned red after being spoken to. He stood up and glared at the other party: "This is the ancestral hall of my Gu family, please be respectful!"

"Your Gu family's ancestral hall is none of my business."

Lin Shijing wandered up to Lin Chonghan and threw the horizontal knife at his waist on the table: "Write."

Everyone was shocked by him for a moment, and the clan elder even took a few steps back and scolded: "Disrespect your elders. Is this what your elders from the Lin family taught you?"

Before Lin Shijing could speak, Lin Chonghan took a few steps forward and said with a sneer: "How can the Lin family teach my brother? I don't need you to discipline him. If you have time, why not take care of your grandson who failed the college entrance exam eight times?"

"

"Erlang," she replaced Gu Zhao with a friendly tone, but her words were so cold, "This is the last time I will polish ink for you."

Lin Shijing's arrival, Lin Chonghan's determination...all these things made Gu Zhao realize with panic that Lin Chonghan was no longer angry this time, but must leave the Gu family.

After the He Lishu was obtained, the Lin family sent a carriage to pick them up that day. Lin Chonghan had already counted the dowry and was now standing in front of the Gu family's gate, watching his servants move the dowry onto the carriage.

She brought a dowry of 128 dowries with her when she came, but when she left, she only had 30 dowries left.

The difference between the dowry when he arrived and when he left made Gu Zhao suddenly realize that Lin Chonghan had really paid a lot for this family over the years.

He stepped forward with some guilt and said in a low voice: "I have been wronged by all the hard work in the government over the years."

Lin Chonghan glanced at him in surprise when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's not really a grievance. It's my responsibility as the mistress to be in charge of the middle school."

"Then why did you leave?" He struggled for a long time, but finally chose to ask, "Is it because of the marriage issue? I can discuss it with Wei'er, she is so considerate, she will definitely..."

"Gu Zhao," Lin Chonghan interrupted him, "The matter is over, why do you need to hurt another person now?"

"I want to leave, not just because of this incident, but because I don't want to be trapped in the back house for the rest of my life. It's too tiring."

She looked at Gu Zhao calmly. In the past five years, Gu Qingzhang was just a childhood dream for her. Gu Zhao was her present and future. Now it seems that she was still wrong.

"I heard that you have two opinions," Lin Chonghan put on his veil and opened his red lips lightly, "That's why I came to make a decision."
