Chapter 181 - 180: Why So?
Gu Feng and the elder Huang Family couple lived in the main house, while the second youngest Gu brother’s family lived in the east wing of the backyard, and the third youngest Gu lived in the west wing, separated by only a wall. The noisy commotion had awakened everyone in the entire backyard.
The elder Mrs. Huang had been startled awake in the middle of the night, and when she got angry, her voice was not small. Without even leaving her room, she yelled toward the west wing.
"You there in the third brother’s house, making a ruckus in the dead of night instead of sleeping. What are you lamenting for? Do you even want to harvest the rice in the fields tomorrow?"
The whole family went to the third brother Gu’s courtyard to see what the fuss was about. Upon entering the backyard, they saw the third brother Gu’s wife, Meng Qiuju, crying fiercely! That ghostly wailing turned out to be her howling.
It was rare to witness such a scene of mockery in the third brother’s house, and Huang Xiangwen, unable to suppress her laughter, was trying hard to hold it in due to the need to maintain appearances.
"Third brother’s wife, why are you crying in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Your father and I are not dead yet."
Gu Feng, his face full of fury, glared at his wife, and Gu Feng, following behind and sensing that something was amiss, coughed loudly and asked, "What exactly is going on? Third brother’s wife, you usually seem sensible. What’s so urgent that you must cry about it in the courtyard now instead of waiting until tomorrow?"
Gu Feng was considered the most reasonable in the family. Meng Qiuju knelt before Gu Feng and began pouring her heart out in tears and snot.
