Chapter Fifty-Seven: Tricks Upon Tricks
Since he knew where it was, Gu Yu didn’t linger in his original spot.
Following the direction, he found Shun Yang’s room. Gu Yu reached out and poked a hole in the paper-covered window, then looked inside.
Seeing Shun Yang diligently practicing calligraphy, Gu Yu directly put him into his spatial dimension.
After catching the person, Gu Yu had no reason to stay any longer. Moreover, a good show was about to unfold!
However, just as Gu Yu was about to leave, Jiaojiao Yang came out supporting Madam Li.
Madam Li, a little old lady with small feet, was not slow at all when walking. Even Jiaojiao Yang’s small feet couldn’t keep up.
The “small feet” mentioned here truly refers to the small feet of the three-inch golden lotus.
When Gu Yu transmigrated, apart from seeing young ladies with bound feet in town, he had not really seen women with bound feet in the countryside.
Madam Li had worked as a maid in a prominent family before, so she could understand why small feet were desired. However, Jiaojiao Yang, a village girl, also wanted to bind her feet. Madam Li was very determined to marry her into a prominent family!
Otherwise, in the countryside, what man would want to marry a wife who could neither lift a shoulder pole nor carry anything in her hands? Wasn’t that like marrying a grandmother?
“Oh, you little beast, you actually came over here! What, are you here to see if your own grandmother has been angered to death by you? Zhi Shuang Yang, that ungrateful wretch. If I had known his son would also be so worthless, I should have drowned him in the urinals when I gave birth to him, so as to avoid raising a subhuman little thing who was not a person. And now you’ve specifically come to anger me.”
At times, Gu Yu also admired the way Madam Li, this little old lady, cursed like a shrew, spewing out one trick after another.
Just like her loud pronouncements now, she was not only scolding Gu Yu but also his deceased father, who had hit the wall and died.
Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. Madam Li was even worse than a beast.
“Old Madam Li, I don’t have time to waste with your idle chatter here. I came to tell you… if you want to continue to stay in this village, then keep creating your unspeakable schemes, and then we’ll see who suffers.”
“What have I done! You little bastard, you’re quite arrogant. What, even if I beat you to death today, it would be fine. Yet you dare to threaten me.”
“The Son of Heaven breaks the law the same as common people; are you more powerful than the Emperor? If you kill me, you should look in the mirror and see who you really are.”
While speaking, Gu Yu had a cold smile on his face, but his eyes were closely watching Madam Li’s expression.
When he mentioned “unspeakable schemes,” Gu Yu clearly saw Madam Li’s eyes flicker non-stop.
Her guilty yet loud demeanor made Gu Yu believe that the matter of Jiao’e Lin wanting to extort silver from his family was definitely related to Madam Li.
Hmph, since Madam Li was so ‘concerned’ about her grandson… then, Gu Yu would return the favor and directly transfer this concern to Shun Yang!
With this thought, Gu Yu didn’t linger arguing with Madam Li. Amidst Madam Li and Jiaojiao Yang’s shouts and cries, he left the Yang family.
As a result, some people who were still waiting at the Yang family’s door to watch the excitement heard Madam Li’s curses through the door. Now, seeing Gu Yu emerge from inside looking ‘disheveled,’ a few of them even offered Gu Yu some words of comfort, almost making Gu Yu burst out laughing.
He hadn’t suffered any losses this time. On the contrary, Madam Li and Shun Yang might not be so fortunate later.
Sometimes, the villagers were quite amusing.
Fortunately, Gu Yu’s expression did not change much. In fact, as people offered their words of comfort, he appropriately put on a sad expression before walking away.
His bleak and pitiful back caused everyone to shake their heads and sigh repeatedly, saying that even though the Old Yang family had produced a scholar, they were greatly lacking in virtue.
Even though their own grandson had married into another family, bringing gifts to visit was a sign of great filial piety… yet they had directly chased him out. However, they had left the big wild chicken behind, which was truly shameless.
Many people had seen the big wild chicken Gu Yu was carrying in his hand when he entered the Old Yang family residence.
