Chapter 542: They all want to pass on the blame

Yu Chengshuang nodded, "Yes, he asked Gu Dongbao the same question. Gu Dongbao just cried to Old Man Gu, saying that he had no choice but to do it, and asked Old Man Gu not to hurt him. He was still young and had a good life ahead of him, and he couldn't let him drag him down. I think Old Man Gu must have felt hopeless when he cried!"

At this point, he sighed and said helplessly, "When Gu Dongbao was about to pass away, Old Man Gu told him that if he couldn't survive, he wanted him to come to you to take care of his funeral and bury him next to the cemetery called Gu Zesheng in Lincheng. He said he had already bought a small plot of land there from someone."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "He asked me to take care of his funeral?"

What does Mr. Gu think?

Her first reaction was to refuse, but then she thought of something else.

Old man Gu was from Huaicheng. Why did he have to be buried anywhere else after his death? On a mountain in the neighboring city, next to the cemetery of a deceased person with the same name as Gu Zesheng?

"Sister Xiaoxi, if you don't want to care, it doesn't matter. He still has a son. If he dies, he dies." Yu Chengshuang felt that since Old Man Gu had both sons and daughters, it was really not Sister Xiaoxi's turn to take care of these matters.

"Let's see when the time comes!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that he might have to go to Lincheng.

…

evening.

When Gu Xiaoxi's family was having dinner, Gu Weiguo, Gu Dongbao, Gu Xiaomei and Qi Chunhua came home together.

Gu Weiguo said to Gu Yimin straight away: "Our father is dead, and the Public Security Bureau asked us to bring the body back tomorrow. The third brother said that our father had given instructions for his funeral before he died, and asked Xiaoxi to take care of his funeral. So you guys should go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow..."

Jiang Xiuqing was unhappy when she heard this and said angrily, "What do you mean by 'our father'? He is your father. Yimin and Yilan are not his biological children. When old man Gu died, it was your business. Why do you ask my daughter to take care of his funeral?"

This is really too much!

That old man didn't behave like a human being when he was alive, and now he's a burden to others after his death.

Seeing that Jiang Xiuqing was unhappy, Liu Chunhua was also annoyed. "What can we do? The dead are the greatest. Even if that old man is no longer a human being, he arranged his funeral affairs for Gu Xiaoxi before he died. What can we do? If you have any opinions, go and talk to him!"

Gu Yilan also became agitated when she heard this. "What does this have to do with Xiaoxi? He is not childless, what does it have to do with us? Get out of here. That old man deserves to die."

That old guy killed her Xiaozhi, and now he has finally got his retribution.

Liu Chunhua curled her lips and said, "That's not something I arranged for Gu Xiaoxi. We just came here to inform you. You guys go deal with the old man's body. I don't care whether you bury it or not."

Gu Xiaoxi ignored Liu Chunhua who jumped out and looked at Gu Weiguo, "You mean you don't care about anything anymore?"

Gu Weiguo said with a gloomy face: "This is your grandfather's last wish before he died. Xiaoxi, although he is not your biological grandfather, you have called him grandpa for so many years after all. If he entrusted his funeral affairs to you before he died, even if it is just for peace of mind, you should go to the Public Security Bureau and take care of his funeral affairs yourself! I am respecting the deceased..."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled when he heard this, "I can handle the matter at the Public Security Bureau, but you guys will pay for the funeral, right?"

As soon as she finished her words, Liu Chunhua interrupted and said, "Since the funeral arrangements have been handed over to you, then you must also pay for it."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her, and then looked at Gu Weiguo and Gu Dongbao again, "Is that what you mean? You don't want to spend a penny on your father? You were the ones he loved the most before he died. Aren't you afraid that he will die with his eyes open, crawl out from the ground, and sit by your bedside looking at you every day?"

Gu Weiguo opened his mouth and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Gu Dongbao took two steps back in fear, and stammered, "I, I didn't say I wouldn't spend a penny, I just don't have much money. Xiaoxi, why don't you help Uncle San first, and I'll give it to you later."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Gu Xiaomei, "What are you here for? To pay for the funeral?"

Gu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes, "I'm not his biological child. If he dies, it's not my turn to take care of him. I came here to discuss your grandma's upbringing with you..."

Jiang Xiuqing laughed out loud when she heard this. "You just said that you are not the old man Gu's biological child, so you don't have to worry about his funeral. Then he is not Yimin and Yilan's biological child, so why should our family and Xiaoxi care about him? And your mother, she is your mother, not the mother of Yimin and Yilan, it is none of our business. And you want to raise her? What the hell do you want!"

Gu Xiaomei's face turned green and red, and she said angrily, "It wasn't me who asked Xiaoxi to take care of it. It was the old man who designated her. I came here today just to make things clear with you. I'm a married daughter, and it's not my turn to live in my house and let me take care of my mother."

Yes, she came here today not to discuss Mr. Gu’s funeral arrangements, she just wanted someone to come to her house to take Mrs. Gu away.

Although Mrs. Gu is a bad person, she pushed everything onto Old Man Gu at the Public Security Bureau. Now, apart from the moral issues, there is no real evidence to prove that she has committed a crime, so she has not been detained.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't dare live in her original home anymore. Instead, as soon as she left the police station, she packed her bags overnight and went to her daughter Gu Xiaomei's home.

These days, Gu Xiaomei has been having all kinds of troubles and has been scolded and criticized by her family. Her husband even made it clear that he wants to send Grandma Gu back home and does not want to support her anymore.

Gu Yimin frowned and said in a cold voice: "According to your previous logic, whoever owns the parents should take care of them, then these things have nothing to do with me and Yilan. They are neither my father nor my mother. If you want to talk about the issue of support, that is a matter for you guys to discuss."

Just as Gu Xiaomei was about to speak, Liu Chunhua echoed Gu Yimin's words, "Yes! Then it depends on who the parents are. I heard from the people in the Public Security Bureau that my Weiguo's mother is not her, so the old lady's support issue has nothing to do with us. That is a matter between you and the third brother. In addition, although we have some responsibility for the old man, the old man left a will before his death, and Gu Xiaoxi has to be responsible..."

There was a hint of coldness in Gu Xiaoxi's eyes. After all, these people came to her house just to take advantage of her.

"Since you want to say that, then make it clear. Our family will not care about Mrs. Gu. She has no blood relationship with us and is not good for our family. So, this is your business, don't discuss it in my house. If you insist that I should be responsible for Mr. Gu's funeral, I can help a little, but you have to pay. Not much, each of the three families can pay fifty yuan! I will be responsible for cremating Mr. Gu and burying him in the place he designated in Lincheng."

Gu Xiaomei's face darkened when she heard this. "It's none of my business. Why should I pay? I won't. And you are too mean to ask for so much money."

Gu Dongbao looked embarrassed, "Xiaoxi, Uncle San is not unwilling to give you money, he just really has no money. Can I owe you money?"

When Liu Chunhua heard this, she immediately added, "Then we owe it too. We don't have any money at home."

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Okay, if you both have no money, I'll try to sell the old couple's house and land to someone else, so that I can get some money. If you don't pay, then the money will be mine."

Gu Weiguo and Gu Dongbao were suddenly dumbfounded.

Liu Chunhua slapped her thigh suddenly and became anxious.
