Chapter 300 Gu Yaohui is seriously injured

Xiao Jin waved one hand: "Okay, I'll take them to get familiar with the environment first."

"Okay, I'll be leaving soon, but I'll be back to stay for a while in a day or two. Things will get busy at home."

Little Jin jumped onto the big black dog's head: "Alright, you can go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here."

Dongfang Jin looked at the docile big black dog and wondered why it didn't shake off Xiao Jin, which was standing on its head.

As you wish, [this is called bloodline suppression.]

This is completely unrelated; it's not a fantasy world.

Regardless of the family, all living beings in the world are subject to the principle of bloodline suppression.

Seeing that none of the dogs were barking and were all staring blankly at Xiao Jin, Dongfang Jin began to believe it.

That's how they introduced Xiao Jin to the big black dog and the others.

After the introductions, the two sides greeted each other, and Little Goldfinch left through the back door with Big Black Dog and the others, while Dongfang Jin returned to the inner courtyard.

Watching Gu Chenglin take farm tools out of the storage room, she asked in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Xiao Jin said that Granny Gu and Gu Yaozong often come to visit our place. What do you think?"

Gu Chenglin paused, shovel in hand: "Wife, this..."

Dongfang Jin narrowed his eyes: "What? Is it difficult to handle?"

Gu Chenglin's face showed worry, and he nodded with a frown: "Fourth Aunt and her family are innocent in the nine clans, as are the other members of the Gu family."

We'll have to ask my cousin for help, but Feng said it's not easy to do, there's no precedent for it.

Moreover, this precedent cannot be set.

Dongfang Jin: "..." Damn imperial system.

Whoops!

Gu Chenglin's status speaks for itself; he's the son of the emperor's brother-in-law, and the legitimate heir at that.

The way Granny Gu's family treated him, regardless of who schemed against whom, their social status and position were what they were.

In the eyes of those in high positions of power, ordinary people are like chess pieces on a chessboard, lambs to be slaughtered, and are regarded as pawns that can be manipulated at will.

Their fate and well-being are easily manipulated and sacrificed on the chessboard of power.

These people in power seem to have forgotten that each "piece" carries a unique life and dream.

In this way, the Gu family of Lingwu Village, including all nine generations of their clan, will definitely not be able to escape.

Besides, Uncle Gu is still alive. He and Gu Qingshan's father share the same grandfather, so their relationship is...

So, Fourth Aunt's family and that family are still within the three clans.

Dongfang Jin was somewhat annoyed: "This is so annoying, it never ends."

Gu Chenglin, his face dark, said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, Gu Yaohui is afraid his family will find out because he failed the Yunshu Academy test."

She swindled a lot of money from the Gu family and has now gone into hiding. He won't be back anytime soon. If they come causing trouble again, I have ways to deal with them.

Dongfang Jin was somewhat dissatisfied with his answer and pouted, "What can you do?"

Gu Chenglin put down the shovel: "Don't worry, I guarantee they won't show up again."

Unbeknownst to them, two people were driving an oxcart straight to Granny Gu's house in Lingwu Village.

Gu Yaohui lay in an oxcart, covered in blood, his fate unknown.

Although some families in Lingwu Village have already started working in the fields, there are still quite a few people gathering under the big locust tree to gossip.

Seeing this, everyone chattered and followed the oxcart. Those who had good news had already run to Granny Gu's house to spread the word.

"What's going on here?"

"Yeah, how did he get so badly injured?"

After the two women finished asking their questions, they noticed that neither the driver nor the other man on the carriage answered them.

One of the women was about to reprimand them, but when she saw the driver's appearance, she shut her mouth.

When Gu Yusong's wife saw who was lying in the car, she was surprised: "Yesterday, Gu's mother was showing off that her son went to the prefectural city to prepare for the exam, saying that all the students lived in the Anyang Academy and were not allowed to go out."

"So, what happened?"

"Yu Song's family, are you telling the truth?"

No one on the train or the driver spoke. The man sitting on the train recognized the Gu family.

So they didn't ask any questions, and the people driving the carriage simply followed the directions the man had given them.

Hearing what the villagers said, the two scoffed. Go to Anyang Prefecture? The place where they had their accident was in the south.

Gu Yusong's wife was somewhat dissatisfied with the woman's questioning: "How could it be false? Look, Gou Sheng's family was also there at the time."

Just then, an old woman came out of an alley. When she saw the people in the car, she was startled: "Oh dear, how did you get injured like this? Whose family is this? Why didn't you take them to a hospital?"

"Aunt Xu is that young scholar from the Gu family."

Upon hearing that it was Gu Yaohui, Aunt Xu stopped approaching: "With these injuries, he'll be crippled even if he doesn't die."

After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly went back into the alley.

Those women all knew what Aunt Xu had gone to do; everyone living in this alley had the surname Xu.

Further inside is the head of the Xu clan.

A young married woman agreed with Aunt Xu's words, staring at her retreating figure: "Who can argue with that?"

At this moment, an old woman stepped forward. This woman was bold enough to reach out and touch Gu Yaohui's nose.

Then, looking at the people in the car, he asked, "Why didn't you just take them to the hospital?"

The young woman next to her showed a hint of fear on her face: "Second Aunt, could it be..."

……

North of the village, Gu family

Granny Gu finished dressing and stood at the door, about to start cursing. It had become a habit for her; she couldn't feel right all day if she didn't vent her anger.

"Granny Gu, your young scholar has been dragged back by someone, and he's covered in blood. You'd better go and see him."

The people of Lingwu Village are no longer as polite to the Gu family as before. When they see Granny Gu, regardless of age, they call her "Granny Gu".

All those titles like "grandma," "aunt," "old lady," and "sister-in-law" are gone.

Granny Gu stood on the large blue stone by the door, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the woman, and began to curse: "Zhao Dahua, you heartless bastard, you vile woman, who do you think you are?"

Zhao Dahua was not to be outdone and stood not far away to confront her: "Damn old woman Gu, I'm telling you this out of kindness, why don't you appreciate it?"

It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin – they don't appreciate a kind heart.

We don't even know if your son, who was born a child, is alive or dead. But with that mouth of yours, I think you're the one who's keeping it under control!

You'd better watch your mouth, or you'll be a shrew!

Granny Gu was about to retort, but because she was standing on higher ground, and there was a slope leading to her house, she was in a difficult situation.

Turning her head, she saw a group of people surrounding an oxcart, walking towards them in a grand procession.

Her heart skipped a beat. Had Yaohui really gotten into trouble?

No, no, no...

Her son is at Anyang School.

Zhao Dahua pointed at the oxcart with schadenfreude: "Hey, hey, here it comes, your precious son is lying in that oxcart."

Granny Gu swayed slightly, let out a "whoosh," and ran over.

Because she had heard people say why her son Yaohui was so badly injured.

She was somewhat convinced by Zhao Dahua's words, but she still had some doubts.

just now……

"My son, what's wrong with you!" Granny Gu cried out as she clung to the oxcart.

The man driving the cart stopped, pulled on the ox to signal it to be quiet, turned to look at Granny Gu, and pulled the cloth off his face.

Only then did everyone notice that he had many scars on his face and that his hair was not as long as other men's.

Seeing him staring at Granny Gu, the crowd said in a deep voice, "You're this boy's mother?"

Seeing the man's fierce appearance, Granny Gu didn't dare to curse and obediently nodded.

"Your son and his classmate encountered bandits at Phoenix Mountain in Guangling Prefecture..."

Granny Gu stood up in surprise: "No, my son went to Anyang Prefecture to take the exam."

Another man in the car stared at Granny Gu and sneered, "Your son is just trying to fool you. With his last-place ranking, he thinks he can pass the exam?"

"Ha, he went to Guangling Prefecture with Young Master Zhao, the richest man in Anhe County."
