Chapter 76 076. Zhou Family
Her husband, Zhou Gang, had an unhappy childhood.

His biological mother died early, so it can be said that he was raised by his stepmother.

Since his stepmother had her own children, her actions were inevitably biased, but it did not hinder his future.

After entering the court, he was promoted to Censor. When requesting for an imperial decree, Zhou Gang directly bypassed his stepmother and requested the title for his biological mother.

According to his behavior, he was not qualified to be the Imperial Censor, but because of his upright character, the emperor felt that although he had some stains, they were not a big deal, so he appointed him to the position.

Everything was fine at the beginning, but I don't know when this person started to become more and more extreme. He would bite anyone he saw. Later, he became more and more excessive, which led to the whole family being implicated.

The one who was most wronged was his stepmother. She didn't treat Zhou Gang harshly, but Zhou Gang bypassed her and asked for the title of Madam Haoming to be given to his biological mother, which was a disguised accusation of her being unkind.

Because of this incident, it had a great impact on her children. I heard that the in-laws they found were not very good.

Later, because of the involvement of this stepson, the whole family was exiled with him.

At that time, the Zhou family was sentenced to exile, and everyone sympathized with her stepmother, which was definitely a way to raise a biting ungrateful person.

Gu Kaiyuan pointed this out at this time because he wanted to know how thick-skinned this person must be to be able to promote filial piety in front of others.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou's face was not right, Gu Kaiyuan felt relieved instantly. Isn't this good? Knowing that he is so unfilial, he still has the nerve to speak so shamelessly here.

"I heard that Lord Zhou's biological mother passed away, and he was still crying for food. It was his stepmother who raised him with all her hard work. I wonder how Lord Zhou will repay her kindness?
They say the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to one. I imagine you and your children must be extremely filial.”

Many people in the team burst into laughter. Everyone knew about the Zhou family's affairs. Those who walked around them in the past few days had seen enough jokes.

"Master Gu," the man who had filled the water bucket in front did not move, but simply put the bucket aside and said with a smile, "You don't know this. On the way to exile, our Madam Zhou wanted to take over the financial power of the family and all the money in the hands of stepmother and her children and grandchildren, saying that she was the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law and should exercise such rights.

To put it bluntly, it's because I'm broke and I want to take advantage of others."

Gu Kaiyuan later heard about this incident and asked in surprise, "Really? How could Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou be such people?"

"How could that be false? Our family is behind them. Speaking of which, this stepmother is really pitiful. She has been implicated by Zhou Gang all her life.

The gift from her parents' home is something that the daughter-in-law still wants to keep.

Fortunately, she was tough this time and divided the house on the first day.

But our Mr. Zhou is also a talented person. He managed to get several hundred taels of silver from my stepmother. Otherwise, they would have gone all the way..."

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zhou with contempt. Mrs. Zhou couldn't stand this and quickly covered her face.

Gu Kaiyuan clicked his tongue, "There's actually such a thing?

Mrs. Zhou just told me to be filial to the elderly. Is she setting an example for me?
Unfortunately, I am not as ruthless as Mrs. Zhou and Lord Zhou. Not to mention getting some money from my parents, we also put in a lot of money.

Alas, we still can’t learn to be a filial son.”

“Yes, I can’t learn it.”

“But I don’t dare to learn.”

"If my child becomes like this in the future, his legs will be broken."

Many people had long been fed up with the couple's behavior and joined in the commotion.

Mrs. Zhou didn't care that it was her turn soon and ran away with the empty bucket.

Gu Kaiyuan bowed to the people around him and said, "Thank you all for speaking up for justice." "Of course, of course."

Everyone exchanged a few polite words, but that was all there was to it. Who would be willing to speak up for justice? They were just there to watch the fun and join in the fun.

But we are not the kind of people who have lost their conscience. We still sympathize with the Zhou family's stepmother.

The stepmother had a difficult time, but she did try her best and did not mistreat Zhou Gang harshly. Yet, she was implicated to this extent and had to spend money to clear up the trouble in the end. This was simply too much.

With such a character, he can still be the Imperial Censor. I don’t know whether the current people are blind or deceived.

When Gu Kaiyuan came back with the water, Bai Suihe and the others had already prepared everything they needed and the fire was already lit.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Bai Suihe waited for Gu Kaiyuan to come back before making a decision.

She had a lot of things in her space, but it was not easy to take them out in front of Chunxiang and the others, so she could only see what they had prepared first.

Open the box at the back and you will find meat and various vegetables inside.

"Miss, this is what we bought temporarily at the post station. Please make do with it for now. Next time we come across a village, we will buy some fresher things." Dongmei was a little nervous. There were only so many things available at the post station, and there were so many people fighting for them.

However, they had prepared some bacon, sausages, and some pickled meat, which were all placed at the bottom.

"This is already very good," Bai Suihe pointed at a piece of meat and then at the vegetables, "Don't make it too fancy, we can just cook some noodles or something."

Everyone is out in the open air, and everyone can see what they are doing.

It is really not appropriate to do too well at this time, otherwise, even if it does not attract the Gu family, it will cause jealousy from others.

"Okay," Dongmei quickly took out the things, "Leave the rest to Chunxiang and me. Miss, you and your uncle can go and have a rest."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the small pile of firewood and said, "Suihe, if you're tired, why don't you rest in the car first? I'll go for a walk on the mountainside and see if I can bring back some more firewood."

Bai Suihe, "How about I go with you?"

Gu Kaiyuan looked at her belly and said, "You should pay more attention to it. I can handle it by myself."

"Then you can't go into the mountains."

Gu Kaiyuan felt a little guilty, as he was seen through. "I'm nearby. I definitely won't go up the mountain."

Bai Suihe nodded and sat back on the stone. Gu Kaiyuan then realized that Dongmei and the others had considerately laid a blanket on the stone.

I felt regretful that I hadn't thought of it before. It seems I should pay more attention in the future.

Gu Kaiyuan turned and left. Bai Suihe didn't really sit down, but cleaned up dinner with Dongmei Chunxiang and others.

Dongmei and Chunxiang were reluctant at first. How could this be a job for a young lady?
But Bai Suihe said, "I've been sitting in the car all day, let me move around for a while.

Besides, this isn't a hard job, so if we work together and talk together, it'll be quicker."

Dongmei placed the green vegetables in front of Bai Suihe and said, "Just ask the young lady to help me pick up these vegetables."

"Ms. Bai, where is my second brother?" They were doing something when Gu Kaiping came.
