Chapter 552 554. Theft

When Gu Dashi woke up again, he found many pairs of eyes staring at him in the room.

Seeing a few familiar elders, they pursed their lips and were about to howl, but were suppressed by Gu Sanbu's words.

"Now that you're awake, tell me what you've been doing these days."

Gu Dashi struggled to prop up his upper body with his hands. Seeing that his legs had been tied up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lies came out of his mouth, "I didn't do anything, it's this bitch who framed me."

Gu Sanbu pointed out Chen and Duan Yuanwai, and Gu Dashi simply closed his eyes and said nothing.

"You're not going to answer? Then I'll have to ask for the family tree."

Gu Dashi opened his eyes instantly and said, "I didn't break the clan rules."

"Don't try these little tricks. Now, just tell me what benefits you got and what you promised.

If you continue to be stubborn, I will have you carried to the ancestral hall, and you will reflect on yourself there. When you give an answer, you can come out of there."

Gu Dashi was so frightened that he shivered. In his current state, if he was sent to the ancestral hall again, there was no way he would be able to come out alive.

Only then did he hesitantly explain how much benefit he had received and what he had bought for Chen...

Li Cuicui had a cold face throughout the whole listening process. She had long lost her expectations for the person in front of her.

"It's fine if you don't have the ability, but you actually pretend to be my son and act like a big shot. Even if you don't want to divorce me, I will divorce you."

The brothers of the Gu family were also unhappy. They thought their father was trying to trap all of them.

How could the Minister of Justice's Mansion send someone to make friends for no reason? If something goes wrong with the seventh brother, their family will become meat on the chopping board.

"Li, stop saying these angry words," Gu Sanbu knew that his parents were not good people and had some influence on Gu Wenheng. "This time it was Dashi who caused the trouble. You can probably vent your anger by beating him up. Leave the rest to the clan. The clan will give you an explanation."

Li Cuicui stared at the cloth shoes on her feet and endured it temporarily.

She was just retreating to advance. For the rest of her life, she would have to keep an eye on Gu Dashi for her sons.

"Yuan Jin, the city gates are probably about to close. You brothers should go to Fu County early tomorrow morning to send Chen to the authorities. Since she can give up her property, it means she is now a good citizen.

For a girl who just got divorced, she has so many properties in such a short time. She must have stolen the property of her master."

When Gu Dashi heard what Gu Sanbu said, he struggled to sit up and refute, but he didn't expect that this movement would not matter. The bone in his foot that had just been fixed was pulled in pain, and he wailed, and he didn't remember anything else.

Gu Yuanjin, "Will Magistrate Xia let Shangshu go because of him?"

Gu Sanbu, "No, now that the truth has been revealed, Mr. Duan will not drag his master into this.

What's more, he has done nothing now, just sent gifts to your father and the girl, but this matter will probably be forgotten."

Gu Yuanmu, "Then why should we send her to the government? Why not just kick her out of that yard?"

Gu Sanbu looked at him for a moment and said, "When you have nothing to do, you should stay with Lao Si more often. I don't ask you to be as cunning as him, but just don't be so naive in what you say and do."

Gu Yuanmu, "..."

Gu Sanbu looked at the other brothers again, "As for the silver your father got from the other party, you brothers should also collect some and serve as substitutes."

Gu Yuanshui stood up and shook his head, saying, "This is not right. It's not that we are unwilling to do so, but if we deliver ourselves to the door at this moment, won't we be handing the handle to the other party?

In my opinion, he has no evidence, and all the money has been spent on that girl, so why don’t we take advantage of him…”

Anyway, there was no outsider in the room. As for the other person who had ulterior motives, he was already lying on the bed and could not do anything to them.

Gu Yuanshui told everyone his plan, and except for Gu Dashi's dirty abuse, everyone else thought it was a good plan.

On the way back, Gu Sanbu looked back at Gu Yuanshui with some regret, "With your brain, if you had the conditions now, you could have fought for a successful career like your seventh brother. It's such a pity.

Why don't you reconsider it? Actually, being a clan leader has many intangible benefits."

Gu Yuanshui, "Third Grandpa, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I also know that I don't like rules and regulations.

Besides, our family is already well-known in the village, so we should give other people in the village some opportunities so that they don’t take all the good things.”

The people of Gu Sanbu are old and experienced, they know everything, and these are just polite words.

He admitted that he had selfish motives in wanting Gu Yuanshui to be the clan leader. After all, this would bring Gu Wenheng and the Gu family closer together.

But he also really values Gu Yuanshui. Although this man is a bit selfish, he has a bottom line.

The most important thing is to be flexible and not stick to the rules.

"You brothers have to bear more responsibilities with your father. Although he is old and has a bad temper, he has not done anything that would cause resentment from others. You should not mistreat him in life."

Gu Yuanshui remained silent, knowing that people's hearts are biased. The third uncle felt sorry for his nephew, but didn't the brothers also feel sorry for their own mother?

The brothers are not fools. Their mother has contributed the most to the family over the years, and Gu Dashi is just taking on the reputation of being their biological father.

In addition, after all the troubles over the years, the little bit of father-son affection has been almost exhausted.

But with a smile on his face, he sent Gu Sanbu to his doorstep and said, "Don't worry, we brothers know what to do."

When Gu Sanbu heard this answer, he just sighed. Dashi brought his own death upon himself.

Without outsiders around, Li Cuicui stared at Gu Dashi's legs with a sneer on her lips.

Gu Dashi felt numb inside, but now he and the old woman were the only ones left in the room, so he simply lay down and prepared to pretend to sleep.

But at this moment, Li Cuicui bent down and moved closer, knowing that he thought this bitch was going to attack her again, so she turned over and tried to roll onto the kang.

At this moment, he had forgotten that his legs were broken. When he came to his senses, the wooden sticks that the doctor used to fix his legs had also fallen apart, and the stinging pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

"You are such a fool, old man. I told you not to move, but you still insisted on moving.

I just want to help you pull the quilt over you, why are you hiding?

Oh, you don’t think I want to hit you again!

You think too highly of yourself. I was just venting my anger before, and now if I hit you again, I feel like my hands are dirty."

"Go find a doctor." Gu Dashi gritted his teeth. He understood at this moment that this woman had planned everything.

Now, the pain in his legs is unbearable.
