Chapter 149 Actually Playing for Real!
“Gu Yu, are you telling the truth?”
“Of course.”
After hearing this shocking news from Gu Yu’s mouth, the village chief was also extremely surprised. Fortunately, he had experienced a lot when he was young and had seen many such dramatic events, so he quickly returned to normal.
When the village chief began to question Gu Yu, Gu Yu nodded directly and decisively, indicating that it was indeed true.
If the village chief did not believe him, Gu Yu had many ways to verify that he had no blood relation with the Old Yang family.
“Oh my god, this news is too astonishing! Third Master Yang is not Old Yang’s son, but an abandoned infant picked up from outside!”
“Tsk tsk, I noticed long ago that Third Master Yang didn’t look like the Yang family, but I grew up in the village and didn’t think much of it.”
“Stop speaking with hindsight!”
“Speaking of which, although the people of the Old Yang family are all quite distinguished, Third Master Yang and Gu Yu, father and son, both have a scholarly appearance, which is truly different from the Old Yang family!”
“However, the identity of an abandoned infant is not pleasant to say!”
“Heh, what’s the big deal? Look at the Gu family now! Even if Gu Yu’s father was an abandoned infant, Gu Yu is the live-in son-in-law of the Gu family… As long as the Gu family is capable, they can still eat well and drink spicy!”
“Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding! Third Master Yang is not from the Yang family; it sounds a bit unreal.”
“Exactly, I have seen Third Master Yang drinking milk when he was a child!”
“Now that Gu Mengyao has become an official, Gu Yu’s background is not important… It is truly infuriating to compare people! If I had known that Gu Mengyao would have such great fortune, I would have sent my son to be a live-in son-in-law!”
“Get lost! Your son’s face is full of pockmarks; they wouldn’t even want him if you gave him to the Gu family for free! Look at Gu Yu’s appearance; I heard that rich and powerful families like this kind of live-in son-in-law!”
After Gu Yu revealed that Yang Zhi Shuang was an abandoned infant, he expected to be ridiculed by the villagers. However, to Gu Yu’s surprise, the villagers of Yang Family Village did not say anything unpleasant about the matter.
Instead, they were saying how Gu Yu had such a capable wife and had truly struck it lucky!
This was indeed the case!
In such a small village, even if a daughter from a family married into town, that family would boast for several years with pride…
But the Gu family produced Gu Mengyao, who directly became an official.
If Gu Mengyao were a man, Gu Yu would be an official’s wife!
Of course, even now, he was honored by his wife, and his future life would be sweet and enviable to the point of jealousy and hatred!
Under such circumstances, Gu Yu’s father being an abandoned infant was not a big deal; it was just talk for after meals, and people found it uninteresting.
However, some of it was also because Gu Mengyao had become an official, which made the villagers afraid to discuss Gu Yu too much, for fear that Gu Mengyao would turn against them.
Since ancient times, civilians have feared officials.
Even though Gu Mengyao and they were all villagers before, the situation had changed, and the people of Yang Family Village did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Mengyao!
It was only the eccentric members of the Old Yang family who always wanted to provoke the Gu family.
“Yang Xingwang, I ask you! Is Yang Zhi Shuang really not your child, but was picked up from outside? Don’t try to lie to me; I will take you and Gu Yu to town for a blood test later to see if you have any blood relation.”
After questioning Gu Yu, the village chief looked at Old Yang’s Father sternly and asked very seriously… whether Yang Zhi Shuang was indeed a member of the Yang family.
If not, the Old Yang family still dared to court death like this, which was truly commendable courage!
After all, without the ties of blood, provoking Gu Yu, this little Yama, would truly be seeking death!”
When Old Yang’s Father heard the village chief’s question, he did not immediately reply. His originally distressed expression became even more entangled, as he did not expect things to develop in this way. It was truly terrible!
Originally, when Madam Li was causing trouble just now, Old Yang’s Father had thought about stopping her.
But he thought that if Madam Li succeeded, they could move into the Gu family’s blue brick and tile house, which would be much more comfortable than their burned-down old house!
Even if they couldn’t live there, they could still ask Gu Yu for some silver. For the Yang family, who had everything burned down, it would be timely rain!
However, what Old Yang’s Father never expected was… that Gu Yu directly announced that Yang Zhi Shuang was an abandoned infant in front of the entire village!
At this point, Gu Yu had truly fallen out with the Old Yang family.
It was all the fault of this useless woman who could neither achieve nor fail!
Thinking of this, Old Yang’s Father glared fiercely at Madam Li, who was standing beside him and had stopped speaking, causing Madam Li to shrink her neck. Afterwards, she did not dare to glare back as she normally would.
After hearing Gu Yu utter the words “abandoned infant,” Madam Li knew that she had messed everything up!
Now, what to do!
“Yang Xingwang, I’m asking you!”
“This… Yang Zhi Shuang was indeed brought back by me from outside, but I also raised him from a child. Even if he is not my biological child, there is the kindness of upbringing!”
After the village chief impatiently urged him, Old Yang’s Father, fearing that if he denied it, he would be taken to town for a blood test later, did not hesitate for too long and confirmed Yang Zhi Shuang’s identity as an abandoned infant.
When the surrounding villagers heard Old Yang’s Father personally admit it, they couldn’t help but exclaim, thinking that the matter was true!
Then, after hearing Old Yang’s Father say that he had the kindness of upbringing towards Yang Zhi Shuang, many people booed, thinking that he still had the nerve to say such things.
Although the Old Yang family had adopted Yang Zhi Shuang, the villagers had seen with their own eyes how they treated him usually.
And after Yang Zhi Shuang and his wife were both done in and killed, the villagers had still been thinking… how could Old Yang’s Father and Madam Li be so ruthless and merciless, even pushing their own son to hit the wall and die.
Now the truth was out, it turned out that Yang Zhi Shuang was an adopted abandoned infant.
At this point, people understood.
It turned out he wasn’t his biological son.
Amidst the booing of the surrounding people, Old Yang’s Father’s expression was very unpleasant. Then, when he looked at Gu Yu and saw his cold smile, he became even more furious, thinking that today had turned out this way because of Gu Yu!
If he had known that this brat was so vicious, he should have strangled him with his umbilical cord when he was just born!
In that way, their Old Yang family would not have become like this.
Gu Yu was a disaster star born to curse the Old Yang family!
“Village Chief, now that everything is clear, I will no longer hide anything! The Old Yang family indeed has the kindness of upbringing towards my father, but my father has also repaid it with his life, so when it comes to my generation, I have no relation with the Yang family, let alone that I have already married into the Gu family and am a member of the Gu family.”
“This is indeed true.”
“Therefore, it is time to talk about Madam Li’s crime of slandering a sixth-rank official!”
Seeing the village chief nod, Gu Yu couldn’t help but reveal a brilliant smile.
However, the words that followed made everyone present gasp in cold air.
Actually playing for real!
