Chapter 186 If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
It would have been better if they hadn't scolded them. But once they started scolding, the children wouldn't have stood up for it. It was fine to scold them, but it was unacceptable to scold their parents.
He then revealed everything that Gu Jinshuo and Gu Yaozong's two daughters had said outside, leaving no stone unturned.
Finally, the children also revealed that when Chief Gu took money at home, it was Gu Ping'an who told his grandfather where his grandmother hid the money.
Gu Pingan said that his grandmother always told him when she hid the money, and even his father didn't know.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Gu Ping'an again, thinking that the child was really a leaky one.
The clan chief's wife looked at her grandson in disbelief and smiled silently, a smile that appeared tragic to everyone else.
Gu Yucheng looked at his son, who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought, in astonishment. This was his son's true face, the one he couldn't see.
Are these people really talking about his son?
No wonder his mother complained that his father had a sharp nose, saying that no matter where she hid the money, his father could always find it.
Is this still the same son who pretends to be well-behaved and sensible in front of them?
Thinking back to how every time he went to his wife's family to pick up his youngest daughter, she would cry and say she didn't want to go home.
She even said that this house wasn't hers, and that her brother said she was just a money-loser who would eventually be used to make money for him.
When his daughter cried and told him these things, he scolded her for being immature and for spreading rumors at such a young age.
He even told his in-laws that his son wasn't that kind of person, and he harbored resentment towards his in-laws, wondering how they could have raised their daughter to be like that. Now it seems...
Then she looked at Lin Ziyao, who was standing calmly to the side, and then at her son, who had been frightened by the look in her eyes and had already hidden behind his mother.
His heart sank, it sank so low.
Both he and his wife were fooled by their son. If he had put that same effort into his studies, then...
Thinking of something, he looked at his father, who was kneeling on the ground still pleading for that family, and turned away dejectedly, staggering away.
Despite all that talk, his father remained obstinate and didn't listen at all.
What is he still yearning for? What is he still hoping for?
Haha, his dad!
His good son!
They scrimped and saved, only to find out that all their money went to that one family.
Haha, every time I take money from his family, they treat themselves to a better meal. What a treat!
How long has it been since his family has seen meat?
The only meat in the house was given to his father and son, and in the end, well...
No one who witnessed this went to stop Gu Yucheng.
Dongfang Jin listened to what those people were saying, looked at the Gu clan chief who was kowtowing and begging for mercy, looked at Gu Yucheng who was leaving in a daze, and then looked at Gu Ping'an who was hiding next to Li Shi, at a loss.
He sneered inwardly, thinking, "This is what you reap what you sow."
Not a family, do not enter the door.
Looking at the clan chief's wife, Li, who seemed indifferent to the situation and stared blankly at everything, it was truly a tragedy of her age.
It is said that one must marry a virtuous wife.
But what about women?
Marrying a man means having food and clothing, but is that food delicious?
A woman fears marrying the wrong man. In modern society, if things don't go well, one can simply divorce. But what about in ancient times?
Women rely on men as their support and a pillar of strength.
If you're young, you can find someone else after a divorce, but if you're over fifty, where will you go after a divorce?
They already have a grandson; if they were to divorce, the public opinion alone could drive a person crazy.
Women in ancient times...
Lin Jiang spat at Gu Yucheng's retreating figure: "Coward."
Dongfang Jin, however, did not think so. She felt that Gu Yucheng was also a selfish person, not a good son, a good husband, or a good father.
Lin Li watched Gu Yucheng walk further and further away, then looked at Dongfang Jin and asked, "Xiao Jin, what do you think of this?"
Dongfang Jin shook his head: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. People always have to pay the price for what they do."
Uncle Village Head, please don't beg me. To this day, every time something happens to my family, it just ends up being left unresolved.
I will not back down again today, because they injured people and were still after Shi Tou's life.
If I choose to forgive again, Uncle Lizheng, that's not helping, that's condoning, condoning an even bigger conspiracy.
I wouldn't dare gamble, and I certainly wouldn't dare let my child come to the village alone in the future.
Let's handle this officially. Besides, the case has already been filed; if you want to withdraw it, you've come to the wrong person.
After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, she pulled Gu Jingye and walked up to Li Xiuwen: "Officer, is there nothing more for us to do here?"
Hearing her say that, Gu Yongliang shouted viciously, "You bitch, you hit someone and you think you can just leave?"
"Sir, I must accuse this wicked woman of injuring members of my Gu clan."
She must pay compensation today; otherwise, this matter is not over.
Dongfang Jin looked at him and sneered: "Fine, I'm also going to sue the Gu family patriarch for fraud and extortion."
She thought to herself, "This Gu Yongliang seems to be blinded by greed; he's still trying to extort money from me."
It's true what they say, if you don't court death, you won't die.
Li Xiuwen squinted and said quietly, "What did he scam you out of?"
Dongfang Jin then recounted everything that had just happened in detail, without adding or omitting a single word.
Li Xiuwen looked at the villagers present and pointed at Dongfang Jin: "Is what this woman said true?"
The villagers nodded, some answered yes, some answered correctly, and some answered exactly the same.
Li Xiuwen looked at the clan chief Gu and said, "Men, tie him up with ropes and send him to the county government office to await the magistrate's judgment."
After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, you should come with us too."
Dongfang Jin took a breath: "Okay."
After saying that, he took out two small bottles of warm Five Elements Spring water from his sleeve and gave them to Gu Jingye, indicating that he should drink them with Sun Qingzhuang and the others.
Gu Jingye knew this was a good thing, and Sun Qingzhuang also knew it was a good thing when he saw the bottle.
He then covered the two bottles with his sleeve, and the children shared them, drinking the water.
At this moment, Gu Yongliang finally realized what was happening, and his eyes showed fear: "No, I can't go to the county government office, you can't tie me up."
Li Xiuwen pursed his lips and sneered, "Gag them all, gag them all, and take them away."
Now you're saying you're not going?
late!
Upon hearing this, the constables holding Gu Yaozu and Ye Shilan took out handkerchiefs from their sleeves and gagged them.
Granny Gu was holding Gu Jinsuo and was about to make a scene when Li Xiuwen looked at her and said, "Take her and the child with you."
Granny Gu took a few steps back while holding Gu Jinsuo, waving her hand and saying, "This has nothing to do with me, I don't know any of this, you can't take me away."
After saying that, he pointed at Ye Shilan and said, "She is my grandson's mother. As for the matter of asking for the prescription, that was the clan chief's own decision and has nothing to do with my family."
After hearing what she said, everyone looked at Chief Gu and gave him all sorts of sympathetic looks.
Some mocked, some ridiculed, some gloated, some spat at him, and some said he deserved it.
Li, the wife of the Gu clan chief, watched all this with a blank expression and a cold eye, her eyes becoming even more wooden.
She did not step forward to stop or plead for Gu Yongliang when she saw the constables binding him.
She even ignored her grandson, whom she doted on.
Someone said: "There's always a reason why someone is pitiful; they deserve it!"
Li swayed slightly and took one last look at the villagers.
Finally, he lingered his gaze on Gu Ping'an for a moment, then turned around, swaying as if he had lost his soul, and left.
After that, the people of Lingwu Village followed the officials and constables, who were escorting Chief Gu and several others, toward the county government.
As they passed through nearby villages, some people saw what was happening, and many others joined in to watch the spectacle.
When these people arrived at the Ling'an County government office, the procession behind them was beyond description.
