Chapter 204: The Brothers Are All Back To Pay A Visit (5)

Everyone was shocked by this scene!
Li Aiguo was usually very arrogant. Why was he suddenly so scared?
When Gu Yunjing saw how Li Aiguo was behaving, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. Li Aiguo had been a vagrant in the Poplar Brigade. He had even beaten up this fellow once before he left home. At that time, that bastard had not even dared to resist. Who could have known that in these times, someone like that could become the brigade leader.
What irony!
Gu Yunjing said, “Are you Comrade Li Aiguo, the leader of the Poplar Brigade?”
Li Aiguo was a local ruffian and could only bully ignorant villagers. He was naturally frightened of someone like Gu Yunjing, who had worked for years outside the village. He not only held an important position, but was also an imposing person!
“You… who are you? What do you want?”
His knees were still weak and he had not managed to get to his feet.
The men of the Gu family seldom came back, especially the oldest, Gu Yunjing. He had not been back for many years. Now Li Aiguo was frightened and unable to recognize Gu Yunjing.
At that point, Gu Yunshuang and Li Fangting were still in the cart. Li Aiguo had not seen them, so he could not remember who this man in front of him was.
Gu Yunjing said, “I am Gu Yunjing, Gu Yunshuang’s oldest brother. I heard that she’s divorced. Li Dahai beat her until she miscarried, then the Li family chased her out of the house. We brothers happen to be back today, so we are here to transfer our younger sister’s accounts.”
When he heard that they were here to transfer her accounts, some of Li Aiguo’s courage returned. He painfully scrambled to his feet.
Gu Jinye, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinlin abruptly entered the Li house and moved all the tables and chairs out.
The sun was shining brightly today and it was warm in the yard. The Li house was built such that the front yard was out of the wind and it was comfortable to stay there, under the sun.
Li Aiguo sat down. The three brothers, Gu Yunjing, Gu Yundong and Gu Yunshen occupied the other three sides.
Gu Yunjing said, “Comrade Li Aiguo, since Gu Yunshuang is divorced from Comrade Li Dahai, then her accounts should naturally return to the Gu family. Her food rations should also be transferred. In the future, she will live in the Qing River Brigade. We are here today to complete all the procedures.”
Li Aiguo looked at the six men from the Gu family. All of them were tall, well-built and grim looking. Just the sight of them frightened him. He was instinctively fearful, and nodded.
“That’s only right. Now people are free to marry as they please. Since they are divorced, they should cut their ties cleanly and return home as soon as possible.”
He was the brigade leader. Of course, he could do these things.
Gu Yunjing said, “There is one more matter. When Gu Yunshuang and Li Dahai got married, there was no marriage certificate. Now that they’re divorced, it is better to have written proof. Otherwise, others might not believe that they are divorced. Then whether Gu Yunshuang or Li Dahai marries again, there might be trouble later on. Let’s write a certificate and have both of them add their thumbprints. Then it will be clear in the future.”
Li Aiguo thought for a while and felt that this made sense.
Gu Yunshuang was the daughter of a landlord family. It was her good fortune to be able to marry Li Dahai. But she was completely useless and unable to give the Li family a son after so many years. Who would marry a woman like that?
In the future, Gu Yunshuang would not be able to marry again, and might come back to make trouble. It would be good to have a certificate.
Li Dahai did not quibble over this point. He simply told someone to go over to the Li House and get Li Dahai.
But just as the person was prepared to go over and get Li Dahai, the entire Li family came over in an imposing group.
Old Madam Li had just been beaten yesterday and was still running a fever, so the Li brothers carried her over on a plank.
Old Madam Li sat grandly on the plank, looking for all the world like the Empress Dowager on progress.
