Chapter 64 What does it mean to seek one's own death?
Mother Gu gave a cold laugh and said, "It seems some people really don't learn their lesson. I advise you to think before you speak. I'll knock all your teeth out right now. You can try it if you don't believe me. Then we'll see if the Party Secretary and the others will side with you!"
When she heard Tong Liqun mentioned, Chen Zhaodi suddenly realized that Tong Aiguo had also gone hunting wild boars with her.
If I try to curse Gu Yanxiao and his son here, wouldn't I also be cursing Tong Aiguo?
If Tong Liqun knew this, he would probably want to strangle himself, so how could he possibly stand on this side?
Seeing that Gu's mother was about to hit her, Chen Zhaodi was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word and ran away immediately.
At that moment, she was extremely grateful that she hadn't brought the child with her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape.
"Mom, sister-in-law, don't pay attention to this kind of person, it's not worth it. Let's go back!"
Gu Yanfei held one in each hand, leading Su Xiangwan and her mother towards home.
Just then, Su Xiangwan keenly sensed an unfriendly gaze directed at her.
She instinctively looked back and saw only a few scattered villagers walking towards their homes.
It's impossible to determine whose gaze it was just now.
Thinking about tonight, I don't know what time Gu Yanxiao and his father will be back.
If anyone really has any ulterior motives, tonight is the best opportunity.
Thinking of this, after the three returned home, Su Xiangwan said, "Mom, Yan Fei, I just felt..."
After hearing her words, Gu's mother's expression became more serious. She said, "In that case, let's not rush to sleep tonight. Let's wait until your father and the others come back. If no one dares to have any bad intentions, then so be it. But if anyone dares to break in, then let them know what it means to court death."
Gu Yanfei nodded quickly, and looking at the wall which was less than two meters high, she said, "In that case, I'll go and set up some things on the wall first."
As she spoke, she picked up some nails that her father had left over from repairing the furniture last time and darted out.
Seeing that her daughter showed no fear at all, but rather a bit of excitement, Gu's mother found it somewhat amusing.
It seems that the monotonous and repetitive life she has led in the countryside these past few days has made her somewhat bored.
Even if I don't talk about my own daughter, I feel a bit bland myself.
Thinking of this, Gu's mother said, "I'll go and set some traps too!"
"Mom, let me help you," Su Xiangwan said, and was about to offer her assistance.
"No need. Dealing with some petty thieves is no big deal. You've had a long day, so get some rest. Yan Fei and I will keep watch."
Mother Gu hadn't forgotten that her daughter-in-law was pregnant and shouldn't be overworked.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan touched her nose. It seemed that in the eyes of the Gu family, she was just a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken!
Fine, since she doesn't need to do anything, she can just stay in her room and sleep!
With such a big belly, after going to the fields and sitting on the threshing floor for half a day, she was indeed quite tired.
It's unclear what kind of traps Gu Yanfei and her mother had set up.
After secretly busying themselves for a while, the two each put a bag of sunflower seeds in their pockets and sat down outside Su Xiangwan's door to start cracking them open.
They would occasionally chat in hushed tones, but they were careful not to disturb Su Xiangwan's rest.
Before we knew it, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
Just when Gu Yanfei thought the other party wouldn't come that night, a figure quietly appeared outside the Gu family's courtyard gate.
This was a man in his thirties, tall and the kind of person who would blend into a crowd and go unnoticed.
If anyone were here, they would recognize him as Xie Shaojun, one of the first educated youths to arrive in Bakushu Village seven years ago.
After Xie Shaojun went to the countryside, he couldn't endure the hardship of farm work and had no connections to return to the city.
In the end, having no other choice, he could only rely on his silver tongue to win the heart of the production team leader's daughter.
He married his daughter and became the son-in-law of Bakushu Village.
He successfully moved out of the educated youth settlement, got an easy job, and started living off his wife.
However, Tong Ximei, the daughter of the production team leader, was an ugly, dark-skinned village girl.
Especially after marriage, she revealed all sorts of disgustingly slovenly traits, which caused Xie Shaojun, who considered himself a city dweller, immense pain.
Xie Shaojun had long wanted to abandon Tong Ximei, since they had never obtained a marriage certificate and could not be considered a real couple.
So after discovering the Gu family's power, he felt that as long as he successfully slept with Gu Yanfei and said a few nice words, he could succeed.
Women, once they've lost their virginity, can be easily won over with a little coaxing.
He would appease Gu Yanfei first, and then take him with him when they returned to the city. At that time, he would be able to get rid of Tong Ximei, that disgusting woman.
Xie Shaojun had a strong premonition that the Gu family wouldn't stay in Bakushu Village for long.
This village of eight trees is merely a temporary option for the Gu family.
He looked at the dark Gu family courtyard, a confident smile playing on his lips.
From the moment he first saw Gu Yanfei, he was captivated by this beautiful and unique woman.
He wasn't surprised when he learned about the Gu family's financial strength.
After all, only a wealthy family like the Gu family could raise a girl as radiant and spirited as Gu Yanfei.
In a place like this village, which daughter wouldn't be timid, introverted, insecure, and vulgar and ignorant?
Xie Shaojun is a city dweller, and even if he were to marry, he would marry a highly educated young woman from the city. If he hadn't married Tong Ximei, he would certainly have been willing to pursue Gu Yanfei openly. After all, even a strong woman can be won over by persistence, and he didn't believe that he couldn't win Gu Yanfei over with his skills in charming women.
Unfortunately, he is currently Tong Ximei's husband, and he would only dare to pursue Gu Yanfei in public if he didn't want to stay in Bakushu Village anymore.
Therefore, the only way to get her is through some extreme measures.
With that in mind, Xie Shaojun no longer hesitated. He found a slightly better spot on the Gu family wall and began to climb up.
But to his surprise, as soon as his hand touched the wall, he felt a sharp pain.
He endured the excruciating pain, removed his hand, and looked at it in the moonlight. He saw a deep cut on his palm, from which blood was flowing.
He cursed under his breath, grabbed some firewood to use as a stepping stone, and started climbing.
Once they got onto the wall, they discovered that a row of iron nails had been driven into the cracks in it.
His hands were cut by those nails.
"Damn it!"
Xie Shaojun cursed inwardly, then, without further delay, glanced around and jumped into the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a scream shattered the tranquility of the night: "Ah!"
