Chapter 8 was too intense.
At that moment, the people who were fighting the fire nearby also heard the explosion coming from behind.
"What...what's that sound? It sounds like someone setting off firecrackers!"
One of the neighbors who was helping to put out the fire spoke up, somewhat puzzled.
The next moment, a nauseating stench wafted over.
"What happened? Did someone's latrine explode? Ugh, it stinks!"
Everyone covered their noses, gagging repeatedly. Fortunately, the flames were extinguished by then.
"Help! Help!"
Cao Zhiyuan finally managed to climb to the edge of the latrine and desperately called for help.
Finally, someone followed the sound.
After seeing the two people covered in excrement in the cesspool, I could hardly believe my eyes.
"Quick! Help! Someone's fallen into the latrine! Someone, come quick, save him!"
Has someone fallen into the latrine?
This is even more explosive news than fire!
In an instant, everyone gathered around.
He circled the cesspool.
After seeing a naked man and woman, covered in excrement, being rescued from a cesspool.
The gazes of the crowd became increasingly intriguing.
"Brother Cao? Miss Gu?"
Hu Xiangyang and Ma Wenyu stared at the two in disbelief.
Aren't Brother Cao and Miss Gu doing business upstairs?
How did I end up in the outhouse and fall into the cesspool?
With that thought in mind, they subconsciously looked into the outhouse at the broken wooden planks.
Could it be that the two of them did it in the outhouse?
Then, because it was too intense, it pierced through the wooden plank and fell into the cesspool.
Not only Hu Xiangyang and Ma Wenyu thought this way, but the surrounding neighbors also clearly shared this view.
The two fainted after getting into the cesspool.
It took the group dozens of buckets of water to wash the excrement off the two men.
They searched everywhere but couldn't find their clothes, so they assumed they had fallen into the cesspool together.
In the end, Hu Xiangyang bought a tattered bed sheet from his neighbor for 50 cents, wrapped the two of them up, lifted them into the car, and took them to the hospital.
Although they had showered, the stench lingered on them for a long time, and their appearance was simply too outrageous.
And so, the Cao family's son and the Gu family's daughter did their business in the latrine.
Unexpectedly, because he was too engrossed in the process and it was too intense, he dried through the wooden planks of the latrine.
The story of how the two of them ended up falling into a cesspool and eating a bellyful of excrement spread far and wide.
The Cao and Gu families have truly lost face this time.
Even Su Xiangwan didn't expect that she had only seen Cao Zhiyuan and Gu Yanni hiding in the latrine.
On a whim, I threw some firecrackers into the latrine, intending to cover them in excrement, but I ended up with this unexpected bonus.
Even the next day, when she went to the hospital to deliver food to Gu Yanxiao, she could still hear medical staff and patients discussing Cao Zhiyuan and Gu Yanni from time to time.
Especially after hearing that the elders from both sides rushed over, unable to bear the stench on the two of them and the gossip of the crowd, they simply abandoned the two and left after paying the hospital fees.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them ate too much feces and suffered from poisoning, requiring hospitalization, the Cao and Gu families would probably have taken them home to stop them from making a further fool of themselves.
While waiting for Gu Yanxiao to eat, Su Xiangwan listened intently to the gossip around her, unable to suppress the smirk on her face.
Gu Yanxiao ate his meal while admiring his wife's overjoyed expression.
He had a hunch that Cao Zhiyuan and Gu Yanni falling into the cesspool was most likely related to his wife.
Su Xiangwan patiently waited for Gu Yanxiao to finish his meal before finally asking, "Yanxiao, you've heard, haven't you? Cao Zhiyuan and Gu Yanni both fell into a cesspool."
Gu Yanxiao was very grateful that she was so understanding and waited for him to finish his meal before starting the conversation: "Yes, I heard about it."
The hospital has been discussing this matter ever since the two were admitted yesterday; it's hard for him not to know about it.
"Aren't you curious about what happened to them? Why did they fall into the cesspool?" Su Xiangwan blinked her big eyes at Gu Yanxiao.
His face practically screamed, "Come ask me!"
Gu Yanxiao readily complied, showing great cooperation: "Um, what happened to them? Why did they fall into the cesspool?"
Su Xiangwan was finally able to open up and talk freely. She glanced at the closed ward door, then moved closer to Gu Yanxiao and whispered in his ear.
She recounted in detail how she had been harassed by Wang Yaozu and Li Guangzong the day before, how she had taught them a lesson, and how she had gone to Cao Zhiyuan's hideout.
Of course, the fact that he collected a whole room full of supplies is omitted from this part.
Although Gu Yanxiao is a very reliable husband in the original novel, the matter of the space, whether in the past life or this life, is only known to himself.
Strangely, while he was talking so happily, Gu Yanxiao's aura was becoming increasingly low and terrifying.
"You're saying that Gu Yanni sent those two thugs to cause you trouble and try to get rid of the baby in your belly?" Gu Yanxiao lowered his eyes, a storm raging in them.
"Yes." Su Xiangwan nodded. That's why she told Gu Yanxiao all of this.
The purpose was to let him see the true colors of the second wife's family, so that, like in the original story, after he rose to a high position, the second wife's family would cling to him and enjoy all the benefits by relying on their shared surname, Gu.
Even Gu Yanfeng, the cousin of the second wife, took advantage of being Gu Yanxiao's cousin to claim many of Gu Yanxiao's credits and rose through the ranks in the military.
Now that Su Xiangwan is here, those disgusting bastards from the Gu family shouldn't even think about getting the slightest advantage from them.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Gu Yanxiao stretch out his long arm.
Before she could react, she was already in Gu Yanxiao's arms.
The fresh, pleasant scent of soap wafted from the man, and in my ears, I could hear his strong, powerful heartbeat.
The man didn't speak, but his heartbeat, which was noticeably faster than usual, betrayed his unease and anger.
Gu Yanxiao was filled with murderous rage, yet at this moment, he didn't even dare to hug her tightly.
He was afraid that he might accidentally hurt his pregnant wife.
He joined the army when he was a teenager, and the education he received was all about serving the country and the people, resisting foreign enemies, and protecting the people.
But now he is injured and hospitalized, while his wife was almost harmed by her own relatives.
How terrified she must have been, such a frail person, when facing those two thugs who wanted to harm her and her child!
But what about him?
He lay in his hospital bed, doing nothing for her.
He deserves to die!
