I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 185 Tongyanwuji



Chapter 185 Tongyanwuji

Seeing his mother being scolded, Sun Xiaopeng stood up, stared at Ye Shilan, and pointed at the person lying on the ground curled up and wailing: "He has it. This person's indenture is on Gu Jinsuo's chest."

He said that if this lowly slave didn't beat Jingye to death, he would sell his wife and daughter into a brothel.

Only after Gu Jinshuo said those words did he attack Jing Ye and the others.

Another child stood up and said, "Yes, Gu Jinsuo said that it was all because of Jingye's father and stepmother that his uncle and aunt divorced."

Because his uncle can no longer go to restaurants, he can't go to restaurants to eat either.

Once these two children started talking, the other children also became bolder, and they all chimed in with their own comments.

He recounted everything Gu Jinshuo had said to them since returning yesterday.

It turns out that after Li and Gu Yaozong divorced, she took her two daughters back to her parents' home.

Although her sisters-in-law sympathized with her, they didn't pity her.

They had all suffered at her hands before, and now that they had made a scene in Lingwu Village, they had stood up for her, which was a good thing.

After returning home, the Li family divided their property.

The family split up, and Li's parents also hated this daughter. It was all because of her. If it weren't for her, the Li family's sons could still stick together.

Now things are different. The Li family's business has been divided up, and they are not as good to the two granddaughters that Li Shi brought back as before.

The children of Li's three older brothers also started bullying Li's two children, making sarcastic remarks all the time.

Li was angry but dared not speak out. She had never liked her two daughters much since they were young.

It was because of her indifference that Gu Meiyu often beat and scolded them.

Once, Li's eldest daughter, Gu Min, was wronged at her maternal grandmother's house, so she ran to the Ye family crying.

Only then did the Ye family members learn about Gu Yaozong's divorce from Li Shi.

The elder brother of the Ye family, who was the clan leader, sent someone over to find out the truth. The person he sent had liked Granny Gu since childhood, and Granny Gu knew this as well.

When Granny Gu learned of his purpose, she exaggerated and blamed all the wrongdoing on Gu Chenglin and Fang Jin.

The person sent by the Ye family knew there was something fishy about the story, but after returning home, he added something to what Granny Gu had said and reported it to the Ye brothers.

Gu Jinsuo overheard all of this.

Just as the holiday was starting, Gu Jinshuo returned with his men to avenge his uncle and aunt.

As soon as he got back, he couldn't wait to bring out the snacks his grandfather had given him.

He distributed the snacks to the children who always fawned over him. Those children ate his snacks and usually flattered him, so naturally they did whatever he said.

Anyway, if anything happens, the head of the Gu family, his uncle Gu Yaohui, and his maternal grandfather will take the blame.

Gu Jinshuo also said that it would be pointless to kill Gu Jingye, because they no longer had a family and were just a destitute family.

Everyone who heard these children's words felt a chill run down their spines. These were the words of a seven-year-old child.

That's incredibly malicious.

Those who knew about the Gu family and Gu Chenglin's affairs now looked at Granny Gu with even more hostility.

Vicious? Vicious is an understatement. Even tigers don't eat their cubs.

How much she longed for Gu Chenglin's family to die!

The older generation looked at Granny Gu, and at that moment everyone's eyes changed. Could it be that Gu Chenglin really wasn't born to her?

Li Xiuwen looked at the Gu family: "The magistrate said that this incident was indeed egregious, but because the child is young and ignorant, he can be exempted from punishment."

At this point in Li Xiuwen's speech, the Gu family visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiuwen was clearly not completely relieved. He added, "But his parents can take the blame because they did not discipline him properly, which led to his crime."

He was sentenced to six months in the county jail as a warning to others. Who are Gu Jinshuo's parents?

Dongfang Jin...

He's panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yongliang stepped forward and knelt down with a thud: "Officers, you can't arrest people. It was that person who did the beating."

It has nothing to do with the child. The child is only seven years old; children speak without thinking. Children speak without thinking!

We can't let Gu Yaozu and his wife go to jail. If they do, Gu Yaohui's career will be ruined...

No, absolutely not!

Dongfang Jin glanced sideways at the man lying on the ground groaning, seeing the deathly look in his eyes, and felt no sympathy for him whatsoever.

With Gu Yaozu and Ye Shilan punished for multiple crimes, she would have even less sympathy for them.

Since she arrived here, this family and their antics have been enough to annoy her.

Who would have thought that a seven-year-old child could be taught to be so vicious?

Children can be spoiled, but excessive pampering is like honey—sweet but easily corrodes the bones, actually binding the wings of a child's self-growth.

It also creates hidden dangers for the family.

Granny Gu also knelt down. She pointed to the older children of the Gu family and the children of the Sun family and said, "It was all these children who instigated this. My grandson only came back yesterday and doesn't know that bastard at all."

My grandson is only seven years old. He doesn't know anything. He never lived in the village before, so how could he know those things?

These are the children, it's them, it's them...

As soon as she said that, the parents of those children all pulled their children down to their knees and shouted that they were innocent.

It is said that although Gu Jinshuo does not live in the village, he is related to Gu Yaohui, a student of the Imperial Academy.

They were willing to let the children play with him, but every time Gu Jinshuo came back, he would bring people to bully the village children.

He even threatened that if I didn't listen to him, he would do this and that...

She also revealed that when the parents of children who had been bullied by Gu Jinshuo came to her door to demand an explanation, they would be scolded by Gu Jinshuo and Ye Shilan.

They all endured it because of Gu Yaohui's status as a student.

The Gu family also brought in the grandson of the Gu clan patriarch, saying that Gu Ping'an was sometimes present as well.

He also boasted that if anything happened, his grandfather would take the blame, because his grandfather sided with Gu Jinshuo's family.

Because Granny Gu shifted the blame, the children and their parents, one after another, thoroughly exposed the Gu family and the Gu clan chief's family.

They say children speak without restraint, and this is truly unrestrained.

Adults usually avoid talking to children, but when the Gu family gets together, they never try to hide anything from Gu Jinshuo.

For example, they said Gu Chenglin was just a dog they kept; Gu Chenglin was their slave; they said even if Gu Chenglin died, they wouldn't let him rest in peace...

The children also revealed that Granny Gu forbade her family members from calling Gu Chenglin "elder brother," saying that their Gu family's legitimate son was Gu Yaozong or something like that...

She also said that Gu Fengpo (a deceased elder of the Gu clan) was a busybody who was meddling in other people's business. If it weren't for his instigation of the old clan head (Gu Yongliang's father, Gu Fengyang), Gu's mother wouldn't have spent a single tael of silver to find a wife for Gu Chenglin.

She even cursed Gu Chenglin, calling him a bastard who didn't deserve to get married...

They also said that the current clan chief's wife was no good either, as she was whispering in the clan chief's ear and urging him to include Gu Chenglin's wife and children in the clan genealogy.

They said Tian Xiaocao was bought by the Gu family and didn't deserve to be listed in the family genealogy...

Gu Jinshuo also told the children how powerful his grandmother was, saying that every time she went to the clan chief's house and cried a few times, the clan chief would give her silver.

Every time his grandmother received silver from the clan chief, she would use it to improve the family's meals, either stewing meat or stewing chicken or something like that...

Finally, one of the children said that Gu Jinshuo said that once his uncle passed the imperial examination with top honors, his family would move to the capital.

Lingwu Village will be handed over to the clan chief, so they can continue to save money for their family...

He said that as long as his grandmother said a few nice words to the clan chief, that would be enough. Once the money was in hand, he could find an excuse to refuse.

Good heavens, everyone was stunned. They never expected Granny Gu to be so shameless.

During this time, whenever the children revealed something, Granny Gu and Ye Shilan would curse at each other.
