Chapter 605: The Ineffective Prodigal Son!
"You pawned everything your mother left?" Gu Hongmiao was taken aback, "Why do you need so much money?"
Gu Chengning leaned against the door frame, gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "Father, why are you pretending to be stupid? Didn't elder sister tell you when she came back last time that elder brother is taking Hanshi powder?"
"It costs so much to eat cold food powder?"
"What is this?" Gu Chengning said with a smile, curling the corners of his lips, "There are people in some families who, because of eating this food, went bankrupt and their families were ruined."
Gu Hongmiao looked shocked.
Although he has known about this food for a long time, he also knows that many men from rich and noble families are eating this food, and it seems that it has become a fashion. So he didn't take it to heart.
Originally, it was just a kind of tonic that hurts the body, how much can it cost?
He didn't expect that the eldest son would spend so much money, even pawning all the things that the Ming family left him.
"The amount left by your mother is not a small amount. How could it be used up so quickly?" Gu Hongmiao still refused to believe it.
Gu Chengning laughed and said, "Father, I'm afraid you don't know. After eating this cold food powder, people will feel hot and want a woman. Our elder brother's marriage has been delayed, and there is no woman in the house. What should we do? We have to It is said that the woman in the flower building is a famous oiran."
"Chengning, stop talking!" Gu Chengan's face was almost dripping with shame.
Gu Hongmiao was startled and angry, raised his hand and slapped the elder son, angrily said: "You worthless prodigal! You are not allowed to eat cold food anymore!"
Gu Cheng'an's body was hollowed out by cold food and unrestrained intercourse, how could he survive his father's slap in the face, and immediately felt his brain buzzing, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.
Gu Hongmiao was still puzzled, and shouted: "Let's forget about the past. I don't have time to talk to you now. Hurry up and get money from your mother to find out the news. Alas, Xiang'er still doesn't know how to suffer... You two brothers are not in a hurry!"
When he thought of it, his heart ached to death.
"Father really loves Gu Yunxiang." Gu Chengning shrugged and walked away with a sneer.
He has always been so ineffective, and no one expected him to do anything, so let him go.
With a slap on his face, Gu Chengan went to look for Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye is taking two personal maids around the kang table, doing needlework.
These embroidery work must be taken out and sold to subsidize the family. Mrs. Ye is not too young, so with eyes so open, the needle and thread have to be very close to the eyes to see clearly.
When Gu Chengan saw it, he felt ashamed again.
"Mother." He stood at the door with his head bowed.
Ye raised her head and glanced at him with a cold expression: "Cheng'an is here."
Neither called to sit, nor called to watch tea. Just leave him alone.
Ever since the Gu family's life became difficult, Ye's temperament has also changed. The former gentle and magnanimous Mrs. Gu, who treated all her children equally, has become bitter, mean, explosive and irritable.
She even ridiculed Gu Hongmiao at every turn, mocking the Gu family for living on her little dowry.
The little things in Gu Chengan's hands were sold or pawned, and there was not much left, so they couldn't help the family. He even asked her for money from time to time.
Ye Shi also became more and more unhappy with him.
Gu Chengan himself lacked confidence, facing Ye Shi's cold face, he became more and more embarrassed and unbearable.
"Mother," he hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to speak, "something happened to the third sister."
