Chapter 40 We Believed Her Lies
On the other hand, after Tao Lanhua was carried back by the villagers, none of them refused to leave and forced each of them to give ten cents, and those who were injured gave twenty cents.
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she picked up the broom and beat her daughter again.
"Mom, if you hit me again, you're going to beat me to death. That bitch Gu Xiaoxi is really cruel!" Tao Lanhua screamed in pain.
The aunts who followed to fight knew Mrs. Jiang's tricks. There were so many of them, and not all of them were so stupid.
"Stop pretending! If you don't give us the money today, we'll go to the government office and sue your daughter."
"Yes, we will let everyone in all the nearby villages know how shameless your precious daughter is."
"Yeah, she even said that Gu Xiaoxi was so easy to deal with, and she got us all beaten up. What a sin! We actually believed her lies!"
Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something, but her son called her aside to talk.
"Mom, we can't make things worse now. We have finally suppressed the rumors in the village. If we continue, it will be difficult to explain to Ruyu!" Tao Yuheng went to Ruyu yesterday and finally coaxed her into submission.
My sister is such an idiot, why would she provoke that crazy Gu Xiaoxi?
Naturally, Mrs. Jiang had to take Yan Ruyu's wishes into consideration, so she could only take out the silver she had borrowed from her mother's family and send these debt collectors away.
After sending these people away, Mrs. Jiang didn't want to see her daughter, this fool, so she angrily drove them out.
Tao Lan'er had nowhere to go, so she thought of staying at her uncle's house for a few nights and coming back after her mother's anger subsided.
At this time, it was dark and she dragged her aching body out of the village.
As a result, because she didn't even have dinner, she fainted while walking.
Gu Xiaoxi came here in the middle of the night on a mountain bike. Fortunately, she had a light on, otherwise, she would have run over Tao Lanhua.
Oh my god!
Isn't this going to be fatal?
If she died, the Tao family would definitely not let her go.
That wouldn't do. She didn't need to get involved in a lawsuit involving a murder right now.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and pressed Tao Lanhua's acupoints. After checking, she found that there was no major problem.
The woman was in very good health, she had just fainted from hunger.
She pinched Tao Lanhua hard and immediately entered the space.
Tao Lanhua felt a sudden pain and opened her eyes suddenly. Finding no one around, she was so scared that she ran home quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi waited until Tao Lanhua returned to the village before she followed her slowly.
Tao Lanhua didn't dare to go out, so she went home and knocked on the door. Her mother didn't open it, so she stayed at the home of a girl in the village.
When Gu Xiaoxi arrived at the village entrance, she saw this scene again. Seeing Tao Lanhua enter the yard, she hurried to Tao Yuheng's house.
The old man had just woken Tao Lanhua up, and she went back to the space and waited for almost half an hour.
She waited until the light in the old man's room went out before she sneaked to the outside of Tao Yuheng's window.
She poked a hole in the window and saw that the person inside was asleep, so she blew a puff of smoke into the hole.
After waiting for the smoke to dissipate, she opened the window and walked in.
She closed the window and door slowly, took out paper and pen from the space and put them on the table, then lit a candle and took out a bell.
Ding ding ding!
Hearing the sound of the bell, Tao Yuheng sat up with his eyes wide open.
"Pick up the pen and do as I say." Gu Xiaoxi's gentle voice sounded.
Tao Yuheng obediently picked up the pen and wrote down what Gu Xiaoxi said on the paper.
After finishing writing the IOUs, Gu Xiaoxi knocked the man unconscious and threw him on the bed. Holding the IOUs, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yuheng, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Mrs. Jiang's voice suddenly came from outside.
Gu Xiaoxi cleaned up her footprints, but did not blow out the candle. She just carefully opened the window and turned to enter the space.
Boom boom boom!
Mrs. Jiang knocked on the door a few more times, but there was no response from inside. She kicked it open and saw her son sleeping soundly on the bed. She went up to him and pinched him hard.
ah……
Tao Yuheng sat up in pain.
Bang!
Tao Yuheng's head bumped into Jiang Po's head, and they both shouted at the same time.
Tao Yuheng touched his forehead and asked depressedly: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Why don't you put out the candles? How expensive are these candles? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond, so I came in to see what's wrong with you." Mrs. Jiang said angrily, then went over, blew out the candles and left.
Tao Yuheng felt a little pain at the back of his head, and he didn't know where he hit.
No, I’m too sleepy!
He wanted to sleep, so he smacked his lips, turned over and fell asleep.
After Mrs. Jiang came out of the house, she yawned continuously. This was because the medicine in the house had not completely dissipated. She was originally half asleep and went to the toilet. She saw the light on in her son's room and went to check it out.
Naturally, she didn't think too much about it at this time, so she went back to bed and fell asleep.
Gu Xiaoxi watched the light in Mrs. Jiang's room go out before she climbed over the wall and left the Tao family.
After leaving Tao's house, she ran out of the village along a detour. After running for a while outside the village, she rode her mountain bike out.
As a result, halfway through the journey, the motorcycle ran out of gas.
She brought the motorcycle back to the space, found a barrel of oil from the warehouse and poured some into it.
Damn it, this is the only bucket of oil left. Maybe she has the habit of keeping spare oil at home, otherwise this bucket would be gone.
Without oil, this thing becomes scrap metal.
Without time to dwell on it, she rode her mountain bike back out of the village.
She could only use her two legs to go back from outside the village. Now that the backyard had been repaired, it would not be easy for her to attract attention if she climbed over the wall.
However, when her legs landed on the ground, she found someone standing in the yard.
"Where did you go?" Gu Nanming asked calmly.
Hearing the voice of the third brother, Gu Xiaoxi let out a breath, turned around and said, "Third brother, why are you still awake?"
"How can I sleep if you go out in the middle of the night? Tell me where you went, or I will wake up my parents right now." Gu Nanming asked in pretended anger.
"No, no, no, hehe... Third brother!" Gu Xiaoxi said with a grin, and then took out the old mountain ginseng that he was going to sell at the pharmacy tomorrow.
The old ginseng is wrapped in leaves and the roots are well preserved.
"What is this?" Gu Nanming asked curiously.
"This is a treasure I need to exchange for money tomorrow. It's not easy to carry it down the mountain during the day, so I chose to go at night." Gu Xiaoxi said as he opened the leaves.
Gu Nanming took a look and widened his eyes in surprise.
He had seen this thing before at his eighth grandfather's place, and the one he saw at his eighth grandfather's place was only the size of a finger. His eighth grandfather said that the thing was worth twenty taels of silver, and the one on his sister's hand was much bigger.
"Sister, can this one be sold for a hundred taels of silver?" he asked curiously.
Before Gu Xiaoxi could say anything, she heard footsteps and the two of them immediately hid in one of the rooms.
