Not only Changsheng and Shen Rong went to bed late that night, but Gu Dahu, Gu Erhu and their family also did not fall asleep for a long time.

At this time, the family of Gu Dahu and his brother was the only one that was still bustling in the village.

The mother of the two brothers Gu Dahu and Gu Erhu, Mrs. Ma, is still alive, and the two brothers have not separated their family, and the whole family lives in the same yard.

At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the yard was in chaos.

Gu Erhu and Liu were still not satisfied after beating up the adulterous couple outside the ancestral hall. If the clan leader had not spoken personally, they would not have stopped so easily.

But things had already happened, and the clan leader gave the two a clear punishment: repair the ancestral hall.

They were having an affair, so they had to. These two bastards ran into the ancestral hall to mess around, and now they have to pay for repairing the ancestral hall. Damn it, the family’s money doesn’t belong to Gu Dahu and Wang alone.

Once the ancestral hall is renovated, most of the family's assets will have to be spent on it. Gu Erhu's eldest sister-in-law wanted to take a kitchen knife and chop the two of them to pieces.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done even if Gu Erhu and Gu’s eldest sister-in-law disagree.

The clan leader has already said that if they are unwilling, they will be expelled from the Gu family. After all, Wang and Gu Dahu dared to blaspheme the ancestors, so expelling them is the lightest punishment.

In this world, there is a huge difference between having a clan and not having one. People without a clan are like rootless grass, trampled and bullied by others. People with clans are protected by their clan members, so ordinary people naturally dare not beat or bully them.

Just like the Changsheng family.

If they did not live in the village and have the protection of the Shen clan, the two old men and one fool of the Changsheng family would have been the least bullied.

The two brothers Gu Dahu knew the severity of the crime and had to accept the punishment from the clan leader, but Gu Erhu and Liu couldn't help feeling resentful.

Naturally, all the resentment was directed at Gu Dahu and Wang.

After the patriarch left, the couple started fighting again after a disagreement.

To be precise, it was Gu Erhu who beat his elder brother Gu Dahu, and his elder sister-in-law who beat his younger brother's wife.

Just now outside the Gu family ancestral hall, Gu Erhu was so angry that he chased Wang and beat her up. Now that he has calmed down and thought, it takes two to tango. If his eldest brother cheated on him, he can't let it go even if he is his own brother.

Gu Dahu was beaten up by his wife Liu outside. Because he felt guilty, he did not fight back. However, no matter how powerful a woman was, she did not cause any harm to him. At most, he was just scratched a few times.

Now his younger brother was beating him, punching him hard in the flesh, and he couldn't tolerate that. The two brothers started fighting in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Gu's sister-in-law Liu also rushed towards Wang.

Wang had already been badly beaten by Gu Erhu outside, and when Liu pounced on her, she had no power to fight back.

The eldest son of Gu Dahu's family, Gu Daniu, is sixteen years old, and Gu Erniu of Gu Erhu's family is fourteen years old. They both know everything they should know, but when they see their elders fighting, they go up to separate them without thinking.

"Uncle, don't hit my dad!" When Gu Erniu saw his father Gu Erhu being beaten by his uncle, he grabbed Gu Dahu's hand without thinking.

Gu Dahu was grabbed and immediately received a punch from Gu Erhu.

Gu Dahu was furious and pushed Gu Erniu away, "Get lost! I'm your father! You unfilial thing!"

Gu Erniu was stunned. What did that mean? His uncle was his father?

When Gu Erhu heard his elder brother's words, he was stunned and then he was furious. "Gu Dahu, are you still a human being? You let me be cuckolded, and you still want me to raise a son for you, you beast!"

After saying that, he raised his fist and hit Gu Dahu without any mercy.

Gu Daniu had no choice but to pull Gu Erniu aside.

Wang was beaten by her sister-in-law. She was so angry that she grumbled, "Sister-in-law, Dahu despises you for being like a piece of wood in bed. What's the point of beating me? You can't win over your own man. It's useless even if you beat me to death!"

Wang's defense came right after Gu Dahu's words.

When Liu heard these words, she was completely stunned. Da Niu and Er Niu were only two years apart in age. If Er Niu was really Gu Dahu's son, then they had been together since Wang just got married, and Gu Dahu disliked her so early... then what was she?

Liu let go of Wang in despair. Without even looking at the people in the room, she turned around woodenly and went back to the room alone.

The two brothers Gu Erhu are still fighting.

The other little ones were so scared that they hid in their room and dared not make a sound.

Old Ma watched her sons fighting fiercely, and she wanted to intervene but couldn't. She could only sit on the doorstep, slapping her thighs and crying, shouting:

"Oh my God! How can I live like this?"

"Oh my God! What a sin! Such misfortune for our family!"

The mournful cries of the old lady of the Gu family, along with the sounds of fighting and cursing in the house, floated over the village, making it impossible for the surrounding families to sleep.

This commotion lasted for a long time before it finally calmed down.

Old Ma was tired of crying and went back to her room.

The two brothers were tired from fighting and lay on the ground gasping for breath. Wang had already returned to the house and the children were asleep.

"Brother, since you were the first to do the unjust thing, don't blame me as your younger brother for being unkind. I'm going to sleep with you tonight!"

Gu Erhu got up from the ground, patted his butt, and went straight to the main room.

Gu Dahu said nothing, obviously agreeing with his brother's actions.

Gu's sister-in-law Liu is said to be Gu Erhu's sister-in-law. She is actually about the same age as Gu Erhu. She has a pretty face and a thin figure, completely different from the big and thick-waisted Wang.

Gu Erhu originally thought that his elder sister-in-law looked better than his own wife. Moreover, he had suffered a loss and was cuckolded by his own elder brother. The only way he could think of to get back at his elder brother was to return the cuckold.

Thinking of this, Gu Erhu's anger subsided. Without waiting for Gu Dahu's agreement, he ran straight to Liu's room.

Liu was originally disheartened, and after returning to the house, she fell into self-doubt. But after hearing what her brother-in-law said, light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Why?

Why is she disliked?

Why is she being ridiculed for not being able to win over men?

She wants to give back everything she has endured!

The uncle and sister-in-law had a wild night.

Naturally, all of this happened in the Gu family and was heard by the neighbors who were eavesdropping. No one had expected that this would be the outcome.

The next morning, Shen Rong and Changsheng naturally got up late.

After Shen Rong finished her breakfast, she carried the wooden basin to the canal in the west of the village, where the wives of all ages who were washing clothes were chatting animatedly.

What happened in the Gu family last night became the hottest topic in the village.

Shen Rong overheard and was not surprised that Gu Erhu entered her sister-in-law's room.

In the previous life, after Wang and Gu Dahu were driven out, Gu Erhu ended up living with his eldest sister-in-law. Except for Gu Erniu, several children of the Gu family lived with them in the old house until they got married and had children.

As for Gu Erniu, since he was neither Gu Erhu's son nor Liu's, there was naturally no reason for him to stay in the old house. Although old Ma was reluctant, she still let Gu Dahu and Wang take him away together.

However, the punishment that Patriarch Gu gave to Gu Dahu and Wang in this life was different from that in the previous life.

Shen Rong thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.

In his previous life, Gu Zhaoming passed the imperial examination and ranked high. He also had a good reputation. Anyone with eyes knew that Gu Zhaoming had a bright future.

The Gu family placed all their hopes on Gu Zhaoming. In order not to drag down the reputation of Gu Zhaoming, a scholar, and also to uphold the family's good conduct, the Gu family leader took drastic measures and finally drove the two Wangs out to fend for themselves.

But this life was different. Gu Zhaoming's reputation had already been blemished. In addition, although Gu Zhaoming had shown up in front of the county magistrate as the last person to pass the imperial examination, he had not left a good impression. These were all obvious to everyone. The clan leader no longer had the same expectations for Gu Zhaoming as in the previous life, and there was no need to exaggerate and kill him.

However, even if the two were fined to repair the ancestral hall, it would still cost a lot of money, and the punishment was not light.

If it weren't for Gu Dahu and Wang messing around in the ancestral hall, the clan leader would generally not interfere in such matters.

Since they have intervened, if Patriarch Gu does not punish one or two people, not only will the ancestors below not agree, but even the members of the Gu clan will not agree.

Shen Rong was washing clothes while listening to gossip.

At this time, a woman in the crowd glanced at Shen Rong, and then gossiped with the people around her: "Hey, how dare Wang do that in the ancestral hall? Isn't she afraid that the ancestors will come to find her at night?"

"Who would have thought of that? No normal person could do this."

"Hehe... who said that? No one thought that a few kids would run in there to play hide-and-seek!"

"If you ask me, Gu Erhu must have had his eyes on Liu a lot, otherwise why would he return the green hat so quickly?"

"That's not necessarily true. You can't allow people to take revenge when they are angry!"

In short, with the incident between Gu Dahu and Wang Shi in the past, and the incident between Gu Erhu and his eldest sister-in-law, the villagers did not despise the two of them. In fact, many people agreed and understood Gu Erhu's approach.
