Chapter 146: Where is there a bear that is so smart?
“What is going on? We were only in Lian Town for one night, why was the Old Yang family burned down?”
After overhearing the villagers’ gossip, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng exchanged glances, both seeing the anticipation in each other’s eyes. When Gu Mengyao spoke in confusion, they immediately turned away, pretending to be oblivious to everything.
They had kept it hidden for so long, and they couldn’t let it slip now!
“Let’s go take a look, and we’ll know, won’t we?”
“Yeah! I just started my vacation and encountered such a thing, it’s so good… cough cough, it’s so strange, we must go and see.”
After Gu Mengyao finished speaking, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng also spoke at the same time, with puzzled expressions on their faces, making it impossible for anyone to guess… they already knew that the Old Yang family would be burned down!
When Gu Yu saw his younger brother-in-law’s acting skills, he felt that this kid was truly amazing. At such a young age, his acting was already so superb. When he entered politics in the future, he would definitely be an old hand.
However, he wasn’t bad either.
Now, the most important thing was… they had to hide it from their little wife and not let her discover any flaws.
Having lived with Gu Mengyao for a long time, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng knew that they couldn’t relax even a little, otherwise, it would be easy for her to see that something was wrong. Afterwards, if Gu Mengyao thought about it, she would know that the burning of the Old Yang family was related to them!
So, it was time to challenge their acting skills!
“Is that so? But I don’t want to go to the Old Yang family’s place, lest they extort us again.”
“No way, now our family has no relationship with the Old Yang family at all, and brother-in-law’s deed of severance is still in hand. How could we be extorted!”
“It’s not the first time the Old Yang family has been shameless, so we must be cautious and not give them any opportunity.”
Thinking of this, Gu Mengyao felt even more that she couldn’t go!
Now, the Gu family’s life was getting better and better, and they absolutely couldn’t let the Old Yang family come to cause trouble.
If it were a normal family, even if they took them in to be cared for in their old age, it would be their responsibility. But those scummy guys from the Old Yang family not only forced Gu Yu’s father to death, but also beat and scolded Gu Yu before…
At this time, Gu Yu had also transmigrated from another world and was no longer the submissive person he used to be… Moreover, knowing that Gu Yu’s father was not the biological son of the Old Yang family, it severed Gu Yu’s blood connection with them. Therefore, Gu Mengyao felt that she didn’t need to care about the people from the Old Yang family at all.
Just treat them as strangers, no need to pay attention.
“No, what will come will come sooner or later. Even if we go home, won’t the people from the Old Yang family still come to our door? It’s better to resolve it early and avoid endless troubles.”
However, when Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s words, he directly shook his head at her, indicating that this was just a temporary solution.
Given the personality of these people from the Old Yang family, when they really returned home, they might even suspect that the Gu family set the fire, and then continue to make unreasonable demands, and the matter would become even more troublesome.
This was also why Gu Yu created an alibi, which was to prevent such a thing from happening.
When Gu Yu heard Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao was stunned for a moment, and then thought it was indeed so… Therefore, Gu Mengyao nodded, agreeing to go to the Old Yang family to see the situation.
When Gu Qingheng saw that his sister agreed, he immediately let out a ‘roar’ and dashed off, eager to see the miserable state of the Old Yang family!
Gu Qingheng didn’t feel anything wrong with setting fire to the Old Yang family. Instead, he felt that the Old Yang family deserved it!
If the Old Yang family had been honest, they wouldn’t have ended up in this state.
But they were not honest.
Therefore, they could only use such unseemly methods to drive them away.
Even if the village chief let them stay in other empty houses, he wouldn’t let them stay for free forever. In the end, he would collect rent in silver from them. If they couldn’t pay, they would have to leave the village and live elsewhere.
Moreover, eating and drinking was also a big problem.
With Gu Yu’s thorough preparations, he naturally wouldn’t let the Old Yang family cling to them like leeches. Therefore, Gu Qingheng was very relieved at this time and didn’t think that the people from the Old Yang family were stronger than his brother-in-law.
“Qingheng really loves to join in the fun! Later, if he can’t control his expression, he’ll be gossiped about by others!”
“Don’t worry about these things, your brother won’t make such a low-level mistake. Let’s hurry over too!”
“Mhm.”
Looking at Gu Qingheng’s retreating back, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but shake her head. Then, the words that came out of her mouth made Gu Yu immediately laugh, thinking that this little fox, Qingheng, would not be easily caught by others.
After Gu Yu comforted her, they didn’t stay in place any longer, but quickly walked towards the Old Yang family’s home.
Before they even got close to the Old Yang family’s house, Gu Yu heard a heart-wrenching howl, and a smell of burning also wafted over, making Gu Yu subconsciously raise his sleeve to cover his nose and mouth. He didn’t expect the smell to be so strong!
Gu Mengyao was not as delicate as Gu Yu. Even though she smelled the burning smell, she didn’t frown at all. She just thought that with such a strong smell, the Old Yang family must have been burned to ashes.
Gu Mengyao also had some resentment towards the Old Yang family.
Before Gu Yu transmigrated, his original self had always used the prey caught by Gu Mengyao to please the Old Yang family, hoping to be accepted back, but it was too naive.
He had already married into the family, so how could he go back.
However, sending the prey was also at the suggestion of the Old Yang family!
This kind of one-sided behavior made Gu Mengyao look down on the Old Yang family and Gu Yu. However, as a woman, she couldn’t change anything about this situation.
She could only hunt more prey.
After Gu Yu transmigrated and replaced the original self, the situation quickly changed, and the Gu family’s life got better and better.
It also made Gu Mengyao more confident, no longer the self-conscious little girl she used to be.
“Wuwuwu, who is the damned guy who treated our family like this! They even set fire to it! Village Chief, you must uphold justice for my family!”
When Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao arrived at the Old Yang family’s home, almost the entire village had come to watch. And from the very front, Madam Li’s crying and wailing could be heard, making Gu Yu think that the village chief was going to have a headache again!
And the facts were indeed as he thought. With Madam Li tightly grabbing his sleeve, the village chief couldn’t even pull himself away.
Old Yang’s Father sat on the ground beside them, with a look of bitter suffering on his face. As for the other members of the Old Yang family, they all looked as if the sky had fallen, sighing by the side, probably worried about their future days.
At this moment, the village chief could only offer a few words of comfort to Madam Li, while at the same time, he was also troubled.
The Old Yang family was set on fire late at night. According to the villagers’ answers, they saw a bear holding a torch and burning the Old Yang family… The village chief didn’t believe a word of this. He probably thought that these idle guys had made it up randomly.
Where is there a bear that is so smart and can set fire to other people’s houses…
