Chapter 393 Are you trying to strangle me to death?
"Tomorrow morning when you go to work, you don't need to prepare or send any food. Yucheng and I will be there for company, so you don't have to worry about safety issues!" Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to tire her mother out.
Yu Chengshuang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, don't worry."
"Then we have to prepare some food." Jiang Xiuqing planned to get up early tomorrow to make some cakes and food for her daughter.
Gu Yilan had already planned to sleep late at night, so she came to prepare food.
Gu Xiaoxi played a game of chess with his grandfather and chatted for a while before going to take a shower and rest.
When she was lying on the bed, she remembered that the two brothers who said they would exchange houses with them within three days had sent her a new sofa bed.
She quickly bought a sofa bed of the same model from the exchange mall, called Yu Chengshuang over, and asked him to take the sofa bed and deliver it to the person.
Yu Chengshuang was very efficient and delivered the goods back in half an hour.
After everyone in the house fell asleep, Gu Xiaoxi and Yu Chengshuang gathered together to discuss returning to Qingbei tomorrow.
"If we go back to Qingbei tomorrow, theoretically we will arrive in Qingbei in three days. My plan is to stay in Huaicheng for three days and secretly monitor my fake grandfather. I will go back to Qingbei in three days. You will leave at noon tomorrow and go to Qingbei. Stay in the yard next to Dean Chen's house. I will find you then."
"Surveillance man, don't you need my help?" Yu Chengshuang asked.
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head. "No need. Calculating the time, your transport truck will be dispatched soon, right?"
"Yes, just these few days."
"Okay. Tomorrow you can tell my family that I will go and monitor them tonight and I won't say goodbye to them tomorrow."
"good."
Gu Xiaoxi went downstairs quietly, put a basket of vegetables, ten pounds of pork, and four slaughtered chickens and ducks in the kitchen, and bought a small car refrigerator from the exchange mall and placed it in a corner of the cabinet, and put the pork in the refrigerator.
After thinking for a while, she left another basket of fruit before leaving.
Just like she did that day, she slipped behind the Gu couple's house under the cover of darkness, then went to the window and slipped into the space.
Just as she was sitting in the space browsing the exchange mall and preparing to buy a few pinhole cameras, she unexpectedly discovered that Old Man Gu had gotten up.
Gu Xiaoxi was very puzzled, why did this old man always like to get up in the middle of the night?
Seeing old man Gu closing the door quietly, looking around for a while, and then leaving quickly, Gu Xiaoxi really had the urge to follow him.
But just as she formed the thought, she found that old man Gu who had just left suddenly came back.
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
So, what is he doing?
Five minutes later, Old Man Gu came back, went to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, hid it in his sleeve, and went out again.
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
Who is Old Man Gu going to kill with the knife?
Looking at the direction he was walking, it seemed like... he was going to his uncle's place to protect the country?
After hesitating for two seconds, she immediately bought a costume for a female ghost, a pale ghost mask, and a white wig from the exchange mall.
Five minutes later, she was dressed and was about to go to Gu Weiguo to have a look, but old man Gu came back with a knife.
He put the knife back in the kitchen and went back into the house.
Gu Xiaoxi thought he was going to sleep, but the next moment, she heard Mrs. Gu coughing violently in the room.
"Old...old man, are you going to strangle me to death?"
Gu Xiaoxi immediately pricked up his ears and stared at the unclear window outside.
"Swear you didn't touch that box?" Old Man Gu said viciously.
Mrs. Gu said angrily, "I said I didn't do it, and you didn't believe me?"
"I looked in the old house, but it wasn't there. Not inside or outside. I checked with them, and it doesn't look like they took it."
Old Lady Gu frowned, "The third brother also said he didn't take it. I believe the third brother."
"There are only so many people in the family, either the third or the eldest. Apart from them, who else has been here? Think about it carefully."
Old man Gu's voice was already a little gnashing of teeth, and it was obvious that losing the money had made him a little emotionally out of control, and his usual disguise was no longer possible.
"I've told you so many times, no one came that day."
"My little sister hasn't come back yet?" Old Man Gu asked again.
"She came to have breakfast, but she only stayed in the kitchen for less than ten minutes and didn't even go into the house."
"That's the ten minutes you thought. What if she came into the room and you didn't know?"
"But she didn't bring a bag with her, so she didn't have money to carry her things, did she?"
"What if she's in collusion? Did you tell her there was money in the box?"
"I didn’t……"
While the old couple were suspicious of each other, Gu Xiaoxi was also lost in thought in the space.
So, Mrs. Gu also knew about that box of money?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard old lady Gu say, "Why would you beat our three treasures to death just for a few thousand dollars? At most you can ask Xie Zhu to send some more."
"Shut up!" Old Man Gu warned fiercely.
Gu Xiaoxi was slightly stunned. It turned out that Old Lady Gu really thought that she had lost a thousand yuan.
Did Old Man Gu get that 40,000 yuan by himself?
I don’t know if it was because of the attack from old man Gu, but old lady Gu was scared and she didn’t say anything for a while.
It was not until 20 minutes later that Mrs. Gu spoke again, "Go to sleep! During this time, pay attention to who suddenly becomes rich, and then you will know who took the money."
"Did Xiaoxi say anything to you when she came back this time?" asked old man Gu with some frustration.
"That girl still has some conscience. She went to deliver food to her uncle these two days. She didn't say anything, just said she would only deliver food for two days and she would go back to Qingbei tomorrow."
"It seems like he didn't come back on purpose."
"Probably not. I went to that house today and saw that the second brother and his family moved to a new house. They didn't take any of the furniture with them, but only some clothes, blankets, dishes and other things. I guess Xiaoxi gave the second brother and his family a lot of money to buy things when she came back this time. That Lu Jiansen's allowance is really high..."
Old Man Gu just listened and didn't say anything else.
Gu Xiaoxi in the space confirmed that these two old guys probably had a hand in their family's house-changing decision.
Sure enough, five minutes later, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but complain.
"When Old Man Jiang was the bank president, was he really not corrupt at all? Didn't he lose dozens of boxes of gold bars and money? Could it be that those people made a mistake and he didn't hide them? You reported him back then, and he came out so quickly. Does that mean he is innocent?"
Gu Xiaoxi immediately cursed these two old guys in his heart.
My grandfather was reported about four years ago, but he was an honest man and was released soon.
But this incident also caused her grandmother to become seriously ill, and her health deteriorated.
It turns out that it was this old beast who reported my grandfather.
