“I…… I really don’t know, Grandpa. I’m busy in the factory and neglected Xiao Wen’s education. It’s all my fault, I will definitely discipline Xiao Wen strictly in the future.” 

Gu Jianshe said in fear, and subconsciously defended himself, putting all the blame on Zhu Yuzhen. 

Gu Wen was taught by his mother, so it had nothing to do with him.  

Shirking responsibility had become a habit for Gu Jianshe. 

Whenever something went wrong, his first reaction was not to think about how to solve the problem, but rather to figure out whom he could shift the blame to. 

Chu Qiao let out a cold laugh and sneered, “Sister-in-law is really pitiful. She worked so hard to raise her grandson, not only receiving no gratitude but also being blamed if anything went wrong. Gu Wen is your son. If he turned out badly, isn’t that your fault? Or is it sister-in-law’s fault instead?”  

Although she didn’t like Zhu Yuzhen, Chu Qiao felt that Zhu Yuzhen was somewhat wronged about this matter. 

Both Gu Jiefang and his son had the same bad habit of shirking responsibility whenever something happened, and Zhu Yuzhen was always the one who got blamed. 

What made things worse was that the old man actually believed it. Perhaps in the old man’s mind, his son and grandson were family, and therefore they’re inherently good, while Zhu Yuzhen, as an outsider, was naturally bad.  

Zhu Yuzhen was stunned for a moment. 

Her IQ was not very good. She didn’t notice it even after taking the blame for so many years. 

But now she heard Chu Qiao said this, she noticed something was off. 

Was her son blaming her? 

What a heartless thing! She had worked so hard to raise her grandson, what right did her son have to blame her? 

When she taught Xiao Wen to call others as ‘bastard child’, Jianshe had heard it too and hadn’t said a word. Why was she the only one being blamed?  

And so……

“Jianshe, you come to my place to eat every day. Don’t you know what Xiao Wen is like? I’m only responsible for his meals. I didn’t do anything else. I have worked so hard to take care of you and your father, and yet I don’t even get a word of thanks from you, you heartless thing!”  

Zhu Yuzhen stared at her son sadly, feeling very uncomfortable, completely missing the meaningful eye contact her husband constantly gave her. 

Gu Jianshe was furious. What was his mother doing, turning against him at a time like this? 

That b*tch Chu Qiao was clearly trying to stir up trouble, and his foolish mother had actually fallen for it. 

“Mom, I’m not blaming you.” 

As soon as Gu Jianshe finished speaking, Chu Qiao chimed in again, “How is this not blaming her? You said you were busy with work and didn’t have time to discipline Xiao Wen, you said that Sister-in-law was the one managing him. So if Xiao Wen turned out badly, naturally it’s Sister-in-law’s responsibility, and you aren’t the one to blame. Gu Jianshe, isn’t that exactly what you meant?” 

“That’s right! What do you mean by that? Who exactly is responsible for Xiao Wen turning out this way?” Zhu Yuzhen’s tone was obnoxious, now she joined forces with Chu Qiao to fight against the enemy. 

Chu Qiao’s stomach was aching with laughter. 

She knew Zhu Yuzhen very well. She was really vicious, but foolish. She would jump up at the slightest provocation, so senseless. 

Gu Jianshe’s head was about to explode, so he said unhappily, “It’s my responsibility, I didn’t teach Xiao Wen well, it has nothing to do with mom.”  

Only then Zhu Yuzhen was finally satisfied, considering that this son still had some conscience. 

“Whack!” 

The wonderful sound of the belt sounded, and it was Old Mr. Gu hit it. 

The slap mark on Gu Jianshe’s face had not disappeared yet, and another belt mark appeared, complementing each other and very eye-catching. 

“If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. You good-for-nothing! Your aunt did well to hit you!” 

Old Mr. Gu lashed out a few more times with the belt. 

He was really furious. He had only taught him a lesson last time, but he didn’t take it seriously.

Obviously, it was because he didn’t beat him hard enough. 

Today, he would beat him harder, otherwise he wouldn’t remember it. 

“Dad, calm down, Jianshe knows that he was wrong.” Gu Jiefang pleaded. 

“What the hell does he know!” 

Old Mr. Gu became even more angry and turned his belt on Gu Jiefang as well. If the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked*. The entire eldest son’s family was a mess. 

*If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked (idiom) : The metaphor is that the people above do not behave properly, and the people below would also do bad things.
