Chapter 288 Deliberately Let Them Die

Gu Tang took a closer look, didn't recognize him, and didn't think he looked familiar, so he didn't say anything.

Gu Ping'an and Agou followed Gu Tang's example and greeted their third uncle first, and then the clan leaders and elders.

As for the mother and daughter, Gu Ping'an knew who they were, but since his second sister didn't speak to them, he didn't say anything.

Patriarch Gu had met Agou yesterday and nodded at him.

This was the first time the elders met Agou today, but they had heard about him from Clan Leader Gu before.

When he saw the real person, the solemn expression on his face eased. He nodded at Agou and asked Agou if he could adapt to life in the village. After receiving an affirmative answer, he continued to stare at the people busy in the wind and snow.

Gu Tang was quite curious, so he went up to his third uncle and asked what this was for.

The house has collapsed. There is no point in digging it out now. It is freezing cold and we cannot rebuild the house right away.

Third Uncle paused, not knowing whether he should talk about this in public.

He glanced at the mother and daughter in the corner and saw that they were staring at him. The old man frowned and felt unhappy.

Being unhappy, he simply told the truth.

"Your father and his men aren't digging up houses, they're digging up people."

"Poaching?" Gu Tang was confused for a moment, but soon understood what this meant.

"You mean... there are people trapped under the house that collapsed under the snow?"

Third Uncle nodded, his face heavy. "That's where your Aunt Guan and her daughter, Dani, were crushed. The mother and daughter had been sleeping in the west wing, and when the house collapsed, they were trapped underneath."

Gu Tang gasped: "When did it collapse? How long has it been? My aunt and the others..." Are they dead or alive?

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned when it collapsed, but as soon as he did, Third Uncle's anger, which had just subsided, came back to him.

He looked at the mother and daughter sarcastically. "Everyone in the family says they don't know when it collapsed. Your father said that just looking at the thickness of the snow on top, you can tell. He estimated it collapsed in the middle of last night."

"The collapse of this house would have caused quite a stir. How come the whole family didn't know about it?"

Unless... he was pretending not to know.

Gu Tang glanced at the mother and daughter and was surprised to find that they were staring at Agou.

Especially that girl, with a smile on her face!

Oh no!

Are you interested in Agou?

No, right now someone in your family is trapped under the house and we don't know whether he is dead or alive. It's ok that you, mother and daughter, don't have a trace of worry on your faces, but you actually have the mind to look at men now?

At least you should pretend to be sad!

Wow! What a weird couple!

"Yes, the house collapsed and made quite a noise." Third Uncle pulled the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold.

"Tell me, there was such a loud noise, but no one heard it. It was only when your father and his family passed by here this morning and saw the house collapsed that they came to help rescue people."

Save people?

I'm afraid it can't be saved.

If it really collapsed in the middle of the night as her father said, Aunt Guan and her daughter would definitely not survive!

Gu Tang wanted to ask more questions, but Gu Pingan pulled her aside, leaned close to her ear, and told her about the whole family.

This family is also from the Gu clan. The head of the family is called Gu Baoshan. He married Guan and had a daughter, Gu Dani, who is thirteen years old this year.

Gu Baoshan lost his father a few years ago. Now he has only his mother Jiang, who is in her early fifties, and his sixteen-year-old sister Gu Chuntao.

Jiang looked down on Guan, especially after learning that Guan was injured when giving birth to Gu Dani, he looked down on her even more and began to think about divorcing her and marrying someone else.

But for some reason, Jiang did not take any action and only talked about the matter to outsiders from time to time.

But every time someone urged Jiang to divorce her daughter-in-law, Jiang always hesitated and dodged, as if she was worried about something.

The villagers speculated that Jiang's reluctance to divorce his daughter-in-law was probably due to Guan's premature birth.

When Guan was pregnant with Gu Dani, she gave birth prematurely at eight months. On the day of the birth, only Gu Chuntao and Guan's sister-in-law were at home.

As for the cause of premature birth, it was said that Guan accidentally fell.

But the strange thing is that after she finished her confinement, Guan started cursing people at home every day. It was as if her temperament had changed completely and she became very fierce!

What was even more strange was that Jiang and Gu Chuntao, who had always wanted to suppress Guan, did not even dare to say a word and were scolded by Guan for a whole month.

Since then, it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law has become like strangers.

Although Jiang said she wanted to divorce her daughter-in-law, in fact, she said this behind Guan's back, for fear that Guan would hear it.

Because of these unreasonable things, the villagers speculated that Guan's premature birth was caused by Gu Chuntao.

Now that the house where Guan's mother and daughter lived had collapsed, Jiang and Gu Chuntao were probably hoping that the mother and daughter would be crushed to death.

Even if they couldn't be crushed to death, the mother and daughter would still freeze to death if they were trapped underneath and frozen in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Jiang's mother and daughter probably thought that Guan's mother and daughter were dead, so they looked relaxed and without any worries.

The sound of wind and snow covered up Gu Ping'an's whispers. In addition, Jiang and Gu Chuntao's attention was always on Agou, and they didn't know that Gu Ping'an was teasing Cricket and the others not far away.

After hearing these things, Gu Tang found something wrong: "Where is Gu Baoshan? Where did he go? Shouldn't he live in the same room with Jiang?"

The son and daughter-in-law lived in the same room. If the room collapsed, Jiang would have to call for help even if she was reluctant.

"I don't know about that. I guess he didn't sleep in this room, otherwise Jiang would be so worried!"

Gu Tang curled her lips. She was so anxious when it was her turn to give birth?

Does that mean that people are not human beings in her eyes?

"Sister Tang."

A voice came from behind, a sweet "Sister Tang", which made Gu Tang tremble.

Looking back, it was Gu Chuntao.

I saw her walking towards me with her waist twisted, and her walking posture looked weird.

Gu Pingan took the opportunity to whisper in Gu Tang's ear, "Ignore her! She's too ambitious and has even canceled two engagements! Her reputation is ruined!

No one in the village cares about her, and she has even pushed other girls her own age down the mountain several times! Stupid and vicious!

Oh no!

This girl is only sixteen, and her methods are so cruel?

Gu Tang silently took two steps back and approached Agou.

Although the girl was calling her, her eyes were flirting with Agou from beginning to end.

Gu Tang didn't want to deal with her, so he wanted to shift the blame to someone else and let Agou deal with her!

"Sister Tang, why haven't I seen you out playing recently?" Gu Chuntao stopped in front of Gu Tang, looking at Gu Tang's fair little face. Her eyes flashed, and she actually reached out to touch Gu Tang's face.

"It's been so long since we last met, and Miss Tang has grown up to be so outstanding. Let my mother find you a good marriage!"

Gu Chuntao has long nails, and for some reason, she trims them into pointed triangles!

Wow, that row of sharp nails looks like the claws of a female ghost!

Is this a face touch?

Gu Tang seriously suspected that she wanted to take the opportunity to slap herself in the face, and then apologize and say that she didn't mean it.

In order to avoid conflict, Gu Tang took two steps back to avoid Gu Chuntao's claws.

Seeing this, Gu Chuntao didn't give up. She took two steps forward and stretched out her claws in front of Gu Tang again: "Why are you hiding, girl?"

“Bang!”

A crisp sound fell on the back of Gu Chuntao's hand, and her fair skin quickly turned red.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Chuntao covered her hand and screamed in pain: "Ah!!!"

The pretty little face was twisted with pain, you can imagine how painful it was.

Gu Tang blinked, looked at Gu Chuntao's miserable condition, and then looked at Agou who attacked her.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Hearing Gu Chuntao's screams, Jiang rushed over: "Tao'er! What's wrong? What happened to you?!"

"Mom! He hit me!" Gu Chuntao's face twitched in pain. She raised her hand for Jiang to see. At this moment, she only wanted to complain, and all her previous thoughts were gone.

The back of the hand, which had just turned red, was now swollen, red and purple, and looked very scary!

Gu Tang secretly gave Agou a thumbs up.

sharp!

There is not much flesh on the back of a person's hand, and one slap could make Gu Chuntao's hand swollen. The force must be powerful!

"Why are you injured like this?" Jiang asked with a distressed look on her face. Then, with a gloomy face, she went to Agou to settle the score: "Sir, my daughter came to talk to Lianshan's daughter. Why did you hit her for no reason?!"

After questioning Agou, Jiang turned around and glared at Gu Tang: "You are such a bad girl! You watched your sister Chuntao being beaten and didn't even protect her!

No wonder everyone in the village says that it was you who instigated your father to divorce your mother. You are not only evil, but also extremely vicious! "

When the third uncle, who was not far away, heard this, his face immediately darkened and he walked towards Gu Tang with his crutches.

Facing Jiang's unreasonable behavior, Gu Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm giving you face, right?"

Good, good, good!

Then let’s have a good talk!

Gu Tang put his hands on his hips and immediately started to rant, "Pah! That's like a dung beetle sneezing—it's full of shit! In terms of poison, who can be more poisonous than you and your daughter? How did my Aunt Guan give birth prematurely? God is watching!"

Let that dirty, vicious woman be notorious! Let her be despised for the rest of her life, and even if she wants a man desperately, she won't be able to get married!

You old hag, you'd better pray to the gods right now. If your son carries out two bodies later, I'll pay you! I'll have the aunts and grandmas in the village spread the news about you in every village!

I will make it impossible for the men in your family to find wives, and the women to marry off! I will make your family extinct! I will make you cursed by the ancestors of the Gu family after you die!

Marrying an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations! You yourself are a worthless person! The sons and daughters you gave birth to are worthless people too. One abandoned his wife and daughter, and the other poisoned his own sister-in-law!

Bah! You are such a dirty, smelly mess, yet you still have the nerve to complain about others being fishy! "

Gu Tang's scolding shocked everyone present.

Everyone looked at him in surprise and shock. It was the first time they saw Gu Tang lose his temper in public, and they all looked over here.

Third Uncle stopped, not knowing whether he should come over here.

Jiang was so angry that she was shaking all over when Gu Tang exposed these things in public, but Gu Chuntao's face turned pale.

"You little whore! How dare you make up stories about my family like this!" Jiang was so angry that she rushed towards Gu Tang without caring about anything, wanting to fight with him.

Gu Tang hadn't fought for a long time, and he was very excited at this moment, ready to kick Jiang's knee.

But before she could make a move, a long leg that was faster than hers kicked towards Jiang first and knocked him down in an instant!

Behind Jiang was Gu Chuntao. When she fell, the mother and daughter fell into a ball together. They rolled over and fell out of the eaves into the snow outside.

Gu Tang was very dissatisfied and turned to glare at Agou. The long leg just now belonged to Agou.

"Who told you to fight? I haven't even started fighting yet. If you kick her like that, she's definitely not going to fight me anymore!"

Agou immediately admitted his mistake: "I was wrong. Next time I will wait until you hit me first before I hit you."

This is reasonable!

Jiang's mother and daughter had already climbed out of their snow den. Gu Tang asked her loudly, "Are we still going to fight? We agreed! We won't stop until blood is seen. It's useless if anyone calls for a stop midway!"

Jiang shuddered. Gu Tang was blocking the way under the eaves in front of her. She didn't dare to move forward and could only tremble and cry loudly.

"Oh my God—"

Just as she was about to cry out loud, there was a sudden noise coming from the collapsed west wing.

"We found someone!"

"Hurry up! Bring the rope, tie it up and pull the person out!"

"Is this possible?"

"It's frozen into a popsicle! It's gone, but I can still poop..."

I've been frozen into a popsicle, I can't survive...

Everyone heard this and their eyes all turned to look towards the west wing. No one paid any attention to Gu Tang's farce anymore and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.

Only Jiang's mother and daughter had a flicker of joy on their faces, but they quickly concealed it.

No matter how quickly he covered it up, it was still seen by Agou and Gu Tang.

Gu Tang knew that Ah Gou could sense death, so he asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is there still hope?"

"There's no hope. There's no life left, only death." Ah Gou shook his head, glanced towards the west wing, and added, "Both mother and daughter are the same, both are lifeless."

Gu Tang paused and sighed, "The joy on the faces of the mother and daughter just now is proof that Aunt Guan and her daughter were indeed indirectly killed by them.

He knew the mother and daughter were trapped by the collapsed house, but he refused to rescue them and only saved them after they were discovered. This is truly a sin!

She glanced coldly at the Jiang mother and daughter. This family's reputation was not very good to begin with, and now this incident has happened. Just wait and see, they will suffer in the future!

The two bodies were carried under the eaves one after the other, covered in ice and snow.

Aunt Guan is in her twenties, and Gu Dani looks only about ten years old, but Gu Ping'an said that Gu Dani is thirteen this year, and the reason why she is so short is because she doesn't have enough food to eat every day.

Gu Tang noticed that Aunt Guan didn't have much flesh on her body and was very skinny.

At this moment, a man of medium height took off his hat and the scarf that covered his face, and rushed towards the mother and daughter, crying.

"This is..." Gu Tang had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, Gu Ping'an whispered in her ear: "Gu Baoshan."

Gu Baoshan was crying so hard that tears and snot were everywhere. People who didn't know the truth would think that he was a very affectionate person.

Gu Lianshan, who was exhausted and limp, was furious when he saw him like this: "The wall of your west wing is cracked on three sides. It shouldn't be habitable, especially in such a snowy day.

You are quite smart. You moved into the main hall to live with your own mother, leaving the mother and daughter in the west wing. Just wait, when Guan's family comes, the house will be ransacked by you!"
