I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 19 Revealing the truth

With a loud crash, Ye Shilan screamed and sat down on the ground, a stream of yellow liquid flowing from under her buttocks.

The onlookers were so frightened by Dongfang Jin's actions that they screamed and retreated a long distance.

Dongfang Jin stepped forward, snatched the meat from her hand, and kicked her in the buttocks: "You've got some nerve, daring to steal my stuff."

"Is this something you can eat? If you want meat, you have plenty on your body. Just cut off a piece with a knife; it's cheaper and satisfies your craving, don't you think?"

“That’s my family’s,” Ye Shilan shouted, her hair disheveled and trembling.

Dongfang Jin, one hand on her hip and the other holding a piece of meat, said, "Pah! Is this yours? Does it have your name written on it? Do you believe I'll go to the yamen and sue you for burglary?"

Seeing this, Old Lady Gu plopped down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and started crying, "My God, I can't live like this anymore!"

“If you can’t make it, then die. Nobody’s stopping you,” Dongfang Jin said, holding the meat in one hand and pulling the cleaver off the door frame with the other.

This old guy doesn't even mind the cold ground, he really dares to cause trouble. If he wants to sit, then sit.

Old Mrs. Gu was speechless for a moment: "You jinx..."

Dongfang Jin walked over, looked at her, and said fiercely, "You are the jinx, your whole family is the jinx. My family members are all alive and well. If you want to mourn, go to your house."

Netizens commented: "Is Chenglin's new wife really this fierce?"

"I think Chenglin needs to find a fierce wife, otherwise how can he live like this?"

"makes sense."

Gu Meiyu shouted at Gu Chenglin, "Brother, look at your new wife! Is this how she treats Mother? This is extremely unfilial! Mother has had such a hard life."

Dongfang Jin pouted and said disdainfully, "Damn! You're so filial, why don't you crawl on the ground and let your mother sit on you?"

Who caused your mother's hardships? That was your father's fault, what does it have to do with me?

Old Mrs. Gu pointed a trembling finger at Gu Chenglin: "Eldest son, you unfilial son, are you just going to watch this jinx bully your own mother like this?"

Dongfang Jin laughed: "Oh, so you're someone's biological mother now? When you caused someone's family to be destroyed and their wife and children to be separated, why didn't you say you were their biological mother then?"

"Look at you all, eating like pigs! And look at those two kids! Why don't you just say you're their mother?!"

“Eldest son, you said you left with nothing, so what about this? You can’t say this was given to you for free, can you?” Gu Li Shi, Gu Yao Zong’s wife, is indeed worthy of someone from a family that runs a business.

The speed at which they changed the subject is astounding; they're deliberately insisting that they left with nothing and had no money.

Dongfang Jin looked at this woman. She was fairly good-looking, but unfortunately, she had given birth to two daughters for the Gu family. If it weren't for her family's wealth, who knows what kind of person she would be?

"It was Gu Chenglin who left the Gu family with nothing, not me? Have you forgotten that I still have a dowry? What? You don't mean to say that my dowry also belongs to the Gu family?"

“I’ve also handed over my dowry,” Gu Li said matter-of-factly.

Her words surprised the onlookers, who had all heard that Gu Qingshan's daughter-in-law was expected to hand over her dowry upon entering the family.

But I've heard it all before; I've never heard the master of the house say it himself. Now that Li has said it, it seems to be true.

Dongfang Jin listened to the whispers of those people and laughed. This Li Shi was nothing special: "That's because you're willing, and because you're still living with her and there's something to gain."

We've already separated, understand? We've separated completely, like going back to the clan, and we even signed a severance agreement, get it?

“Even if he’s not related to me, he’s still my son, so he has to be filial to me,” Old Lady Gu said to Dongfang Jin with a sinister look.

Upon hearing her words, Dongfang Jin's face also turned cold: "To show filial piety to you? So you're saying the severance of ties doesn't count? The expulsion from the clan doesn't count?"

After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone here, you don't know yet, do you? In the Gu family, Gu Chenglin, his name has been the only one on the Gu family genealogy all these years."

Isn't that interesting? Isn't that rare? Isn't that funny? Gu Chenglin left with nothing but the clothes he was wearing.

I took out my dowry money to buy some things for this run-down family, and they even tried to steal it. Now they're talking to me about filial piety?

I believe everyone can see clearly. Look at these two children, which seven-year-old is this short?

I bought some food for my child to help them recover, what's wrong with that? Shouldn't I be allowed to?

Only then did the onlookers notice Gu Chenglin's two children huddled in a corner, trembling as they watched them.

"Is the Gu family really going to do this?"

"That's for sure, otherwise why would she say that?"

"So neither Tian Xiaocao nor Shitou are on the family tree?"

"Didn't you hear her say that Gu Chenglin's name is the only one in the Gu family genealogy?"

"The current patriarch of the Gu family... tsk tsk."

"They're bullying people."

"If anyone is to blame, it's Gu Chenglin for not bringing any benefits to the Gu family."

"No wonder, they're waiting for Gu Yaohui to become the top scholar in the imperial examination!"

"Maybe."

"The Gu family is actually capable of doing something like this; they are truly inhuman!"

"Heh, expelled from the clan? What kind of person would be expelled? Someone who is utterly wicked!"

"Gu Chenglin and his two kids are so pitiful!"

"Who told him to be unloved by his father and mother, and yet he can't even work for the benefit of the clan?"

……

When the Gu family and the Lin family came over, they heard these words.

Lin Li looked at Chief Gu in surprise and asked, "Is what they said true?"

Chief Gu's dark face was fixed on Gu Chenglin's dilapidated courtyard.

Seeing that he didn't speak and his face turned fierce, Lin Lizheng asked again, "Did you expel Gu Chenglin from the clan?"

Gu Yongliang's face was sinister: "This is none of your business. This is an internal matter of my Gu family."

Lin Peisheng was amused by his words: "Ha, Clan Chief Gu, you're really something, really something!"

Gu Chenglin is a man of your Gu family, and also the eldest son of Gu Qingshan.

What crime did he commit that made you exterminate his entire clan? How are his descendants supposed to live with themselves after you do this? All for the sake of Gu Yaohui?

Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the Gu family by doing this? You…

Gu Yongliang's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he interrupted him, "You should mind your own Lin family's business."

"You jinx, it's all your fault, you're a jinx who came here specifically to ruin my Gu family."

"Old woman, the 'Gu' in Gu Chenglin has nothing to do with your family anymore."

How did I, this jinx, end up with you, Gu Jia? Isn't it because you're greedy for money?

Do you know the saying "It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away"? I'm a jinx, what are you?

These things you stole were all bought with my money, and you still want them? Have you no shame?

Since you've already abandoned that family, don't have the nerve to go and beg for their forgiveness. It's incredibly embarrassing!

Wouldn't it be disgusting if this person could eat back what they excreted?

"How dare you, a daughter-in-law, speak to your mother-in-law like that? You have no manners!" Gu Yongliang, the clan chief, cursed at Dongfang Jin as soon as he entered the room.

Dongfang Jin looked at the old man. This could be considered their first formal meeting. He did have the air of a clan leader, but his sinister expression made people uncomfortable. He didn't mince words: "Oh, who are you? Who let you out, old man?"

Is this really the head of a clan? He just opens his mouth and exterminates his clansmen?
