Chapter 147: Is she blindfolded by lard?
“Brother-in-law, why are you only arriving now!”
“You ran too fast.”
As Gu Yu saw his younger brother-in-law standing on tiptoes and looking inside, he immediately pulled Gu Mengyao and walked over. After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, he was speechless and twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking how his brother-in-law was too eager!
With so many people gathered to watch the excitement, it was very difficult for him and Gu Mengyao to even squeeze in!
Fortunately, they squeezed in. Immediately, Gu Yu looked at Madam Li, who was crying heartbrokenly inside, and at the other worried-looking members of the Yang family, thinking that the old Yang family had finally received their retribution!
Serves them right.
Although, after Gu Yu transmigrated, he had already left the old Yang family.
However, the original timid person used the prey Gu Mengyao worked hard to get to please the old Yang family, which was truly disdainful!
Even though that was the original owner of this body, Gu Yu didn’t have a good impression of him. Thinking that if he hadn’t transmigrated, what would Gu Mengyao and her brother do?
Would they really be forced to death by the old Yang family?
Moreover, after Gu Yu transmigrated, he became tired of seeing the shameless faces of this family during his interactions with the old Yang family. He originally thought it was very strange that a family like the old Yang family could produce weak people like the original owner and his father.
But he didn’t expect… Gu Yu’s father was not the Yang family’s child at all, but an abandoned infant who was adopted.
Although he had obtained a white jade chess piece when negotiating with the old Yang patriarch earlier, he could not find any clues based on this chess piece now.
However, this chess piece was quite expensive.
Before, when Gu Yu was in the capital, he took the chess piece to a pawnshop. As a result, the master appraiser was amazed and said something about mutton-fat jade, examining the chess piece back and forth.
Gu Yu did not understand jade at all, but just by looking at the master’s surprised expression, he knew that this piece of jade was very expensive.
This piece of jade was left by his deceased, cheap father. Gu Yu naturally would not sell it at the pawnshop, so with the master’s regretful expression, he directly took the chess piece and left the pawnshop.
This trip was still rewarding, at least he knew the high value of this piece of jade.
As for anything else, Gu Yu did not want to investigate further.
His current life was pretty good. He didn’t want to ruin it because of a small piece of jade… Looking at this chess piece, Gu Yu always had a bad premonition, as if continuing to investigate, he was very likely to encounter a melodramatic scene.
The matter of the jade chess piece was thus casually dismissed by Gu Yu, and life had to go on.
However, after he transmigrated and became Gu Yu of this world, he would no longer continue to be weak.
This was not in line with his personality.
If he had a grudge, he would seek revenge. Whoever dared to provoke him would be made to remember it deeply.
“Village Chief, my house was suddenly burned down, it must be someone retaliating… it’s Gu Yu! It must be that kid Gu Yu, because he held a grudge against our family, he secretly came to set fire at night!”
As Madam Li cried to the Village Chief, her eyes suddenly saw the Gu family of three also watching the excitement nearby. This made her crying stop, and she immediately remembered Gu Yu’s hatred for the old Yang family, and began to ponder in her heart.
Gu Yu’s temper was completely different from before. He had disliked the old Yang family a long time ago, so it must have been him who set the fire!
Because her own home turned into ruins overnight, Madam Li’s helplessness turned into hatred upon seeing Gu Yu.
She had already decided that the Gu family was the arsonist, which made her jump up at this moment and charge towards the Gu family of three, wanting to teach Gu Yu a good lesson.
The surrounding people saw this and quickly dodged to the sides, worried that Madam Li would hit them for no reason.
However, there were many people watching, and even if they wanted to dodge, it was too late. Therefore, Madam Li did not touch the Gu family of three, but instead scratched several half-grown boys from the same village, making them cry and look for their parents.
Gu Yu stood in place unhurriedly, knowing that Madam Li could not reach him. Gu Qingheng, however, was startled by Madam Li’s ferocious appearance, and then cowered behind Gu Yu, not daring to look at that ghostly face anymore!
“Madam Li, what are you doing!”
The Village Chief, seeing Madam Li’s frenzied appearance, quickly led people to pull her back, thinking that he must not let her hurt the Gu family, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
Gu Mengyao now held an official position. If Madam Li really hurt her, the crime would be serious… and even he, the Village Chief, would have to bear the responsibility, so he could not let Madam Li act recklessly.
After the Village Chief roared, Madam Li also froze in place, then did not dare to continue any action, and could only retreat a few steps with the help of others.
Not only Madam Li, but even the surrounding villagers were very surprised, thinking that the Village Chief usually had a kind demeanor, where would he have such a serious side?
Today, besides the old Yang family being burned down, they also saw such a special change in the Village Chief, which made them surprised.
“Wuwuwu, Village Chief, you can’t just show favoritism to them because Gu Mengyao has become an official! My home was burned down, where will my family of old and young live! And my silver was also melted by the fire, gone! All gone!”
“I know your family has suffered a sudden disaster and you are upset, but everything must be reasoned out! You say Gu Yu set the fire, do you have any proof? If you don’t have proof, then you are slandering someone!”
With a sudden shout, the Village Chief felt his throat tighten, but seeing Madam Li become honest, he did not continue to shout and speak, but patiently persuaded her, letting Madam Li know… without evidence, she could not accuse Gu Yu of being the murderer.
Although the Village Chief also felt that Gu Yu was very likely to be the culprit!
However, without evidence, one cannot speak carelessly, otherwise, if Gu Mengyao were to get angry and move out of the village, it would be a loss for Yang Family Village!
It was rare for the village to have an official, and it was even something to boast about!
“I saw it, it was Gu Yu who set the fire.”
However, Madam Li was a person who made unreasonable fuss.
After hearing what the Village Chief said, her eyes rolled, and then she spoke again, making the Village Chief speechless.
Was this Madam Li blindfolded by lard?
Now, the Gu family was no longer the helpless underdogs that she could bully. Gu Mengyao alone was an official of the same rank as the Magistrate!
And after hearing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but show a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking that this Madam Li was truly seeking death!
“Hmph, I heard Yang Shun of the Yang family say he wanted to kill Gu Yu, kill everyone in the Gu family! Such a vicious guy, now that his house is burned down, it’s definitely retribution!”
“Chen Gouzi, how dare you wrongly accuse my Shun’er, I will tear you apart!”
“What! Your Yang family is shameless, always scheming against the Gu family, and you’re not allowed to talk about it! A few days ago, I heard Yang Shun tell you to go to the Gu family and make trouble, wanting to get some benefits back!”
Before Gu Yu could make a move, Chen Gouzi’s voice rang out. What he said made everyone’s faces break into laughter.
This Madam Li had suffered a major setback.
At the end of the month, are there any votes? (No, I will ask again next time)
