Chapter 698 Looking for Trouble
Convinced that Gu Jianli was just bluffing, Wang Erfeng not only didn’t stop him but also deliberately provoked him with her words.
"Do you... do you believe I’ll drink this now and die right here for you to see?" Gu Jianli was indeed trying to scare Wang Erfeng, but upon hearing her words, he became so infuriated he almost died from anger.
He had long known that his parents favored his younger brother, but he didn’t expect their favoritism to go this far. Fortunately, he had come to his senses in time and knew he had to fight for himself. Otherwise, once his brother graduated, there would be nothing left for him in the family home.
He had to have this house.
Wang Erfeng wasn’t afraid at all and continued to egg him on, "Go ahead, drink! If you drink now and die, tomorrow I’ll find a straw mat to bury you with. I won’t even hold a funeral for you. Your father and I will pretend we never had such a useless son."
Why didn’t she farm and instead went to the city to do business? One reason was that farming didn’t make money, but another was that people in the village were whispering behind her back, calling Gu Jianli a rapist.
This reputation was far worse than being a swindler. Her husband was so angry that he got sick, and their younger son was so upset he refused to return to the village.
Now, just as he returned, without even setting foot in the house, he was already demanding the house. This son was like a debt collector; it would be simpler if he were dead.
"So, you’ve made up your mind to give this house to Jianbin and not to me, is that right?" Gu Jianli was so angry his eyeballs nearly bulged out of his head, furious to the point where he truly contemplated drinking the pesticide.
Wang Erfeng had yet to notice Gu Jianli’s abnormal state. She knew her eldest son too well; he wouldn’t dare drink the pesticide. Besides, he had never dared to talk back to her before, yet now he was defiant. She felt that if she backed down this time, in the future her eldest son would walk all over her.
