Chapter 311: The benefits outweigh the disadvantages
When the people who came to work in the dewy early morning learned about the horrific events that happened last night, they voluntarily helped clean up the blood and mess on the threshing floor.
The owner of the house was away for some reason and there was no one supervising the scene, but everyone did not panic. Instead, they worked together and restored everything to its original state in an orderly manner.
Gu Yuexuan pulled Tu Subo back to the front door of her house. Seeing the layers of large locks wrapped around the door, her expression instantly became complicated and incomprehensible.
She pointed to the enormous lock and the tightly wound chains, her tone filled with an indescribable mix of emotions: "Do you see this?"
"Last night, when the whole village was in an uproar, Third Uncle used this method to imprison me deep in the wine cellar."
All night long, without any discount.
She spent the long night alone and helpless in the cold wine cellar.
Tu Subo probably hadn't expected Tu Suting to act so decisively. He was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Were you only released now?"
Gu Yuexuan glanced at him sideways, her tone filled with disdain: "Do you think I can break open the door of the wine cellar by myself?"
Deep down, she actually longed for this.
Gu Yuexuan didn't bother to pay attention to the sarcasm in Tu Subo's eyes. She took out a bunch of old keys from a long-forgotten drawer and finally opened the lock after fiddling with it. At this moment, she heard the grandfather's loud and angry voice: "Do you know you're back?"
"If it were any later, I would have thought you were planning to imprison me in your home until I died!"
Gu Yuexuan, who was also imprisoned, felt bitter. She looked at her furious grandfather with a wry smile on her face, "Grandfather, my third uncle just released me."
She raised her finger, gestured lightly, and sighed in disappointment: "I just walked out of the cage one step ahead of you."
The old grandfather wanted to scold more than just her. But when he saw that it was Gu Yuexuan who entered first, his anger subsided a little, and he frowned: "You've been imprisoned in the wine cellar all night. Are you feeling cold?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head slightly: "Not really, there is actually some warmth in the wine cellar, but I am alone and surrounded by silence, which is quite boring."
The old grandfather was amused by her answer.
"The village was indeed quite noisy last night, keeping countless people awake at night. Do you think quiet is a bad thing?"
Gu Yuexuan touched her nose and smiled bitterly. The old grandfather waved his hands repeatedly: "You haven't slept all night, go and rest."
After saying this, the old grandfather finally gave Tu Subo, who looked exhausted, a concerned look, and said calmly and indifferently, "You look so miserable, how can anyone see you?"
"Go change your clothes and come over and tell me in detail what happened."
The old grandfather seemed to harbor some dissatisfaction, and said in a slightly sullen tone, "Your Third Uncle's actions are truly absurd. He actually imprisoned me at home. The sounds of the wind from the east and the rain from the west reach my ears intermittently, and the words that come through the door are unclear and confusing!"
"You tell me!"
Tu Subo nodded in agreement, changed his clothes, and hurried out without even having time to wipe his hair.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Gu Yuexuan called him, "Tu Subo."
"Um?"
Gu Yuexuan threw the dry handkerchief in her hand towards him, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Everything has been properly handled. There won't be any more trouble, right?"
Tu Subo narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his back to Gu Yuexuan, and sighed.
"Xuanxuan, the matter has been settled."
"I promise you."
After hearing this, Gu Yuexuan let out a breath calmly and did not ask for any more details.
As long as everything is fine.
For those who are good at conspiracy and intrigue, there is really no need to delve into the root of the matter. Even if the truth is known, it will not change anything, but will only add to endless troubles.
Gu Yuexuan has a very clear understanding of her role and is not willing to interfere too much in Tu Subo's actions.
after all……
Tu Subo has his own judgment and can handle it properly, so there is no need to ask too many questions.
Gu Yuexuan was determined not to say much, but others didn't think so.
She had no idea what Tu Subo and the old grandfather had talked about. Shortly after Tu Subo came out of the east room, the old grandfather came out with his hands behind his back and called out, "Girl, are you still awake?"
Gu Yuexuan came out upon hearing the voice and responded, "Grandfather?"
The old grandfather pointed outside, narrowed his eyes, and said, "The sun has set. The weather is clear and the wind is gentle. It's getting boring to sit at home. Why don't you accompany me for a walk in the fields?"
Since the grandfather had spoken, Gu Yuexuan naturally would not refuse.
The old man and the young man walked out of the house and met many villagers who greeted them warmly along the way.
The old grandfather's face was filled with a kind smile as he responded to each question, seemingly unintentionally revealing a hidden meaning. "Bo'er was indeed a bit over the top this time, but he didn't commit a serious mistake. In the long run, this move will do more good than harm. Do you understand my implication?"
Gu Yuexuan pursed her lips slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said nothing.
The old grandfather spoke slowly, "You are still young. While you possess a tenacious nature, you inevitably lack decisiveness. Bo'er, though only slightly older than you, possesses a greater degree of decisiveness and wit than you. He is too stubborn. In my opinion, both of your temperaments are off."
One is to regard human life as precious, be kind and soft-hearted, and always leave room for others.
The other type is too cold-blooded and ruthless, leaving no room for maneuver.
However, this pair of people with very different personalities got married by accident. It seemed extremely incompatible, but in fact they complemented and harmonized with each other just right.
The old grandfather leisurely recalled the trivial events of the past, his tone gentle, as if he was chatting casually. Gu Yuexuan listened quietly, without saying a word all the way.
When they arrived at the threshing ground, which had been restored to its original appearance, the old grandfather gently patted Gu Yuexuan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It's true that the crime doesn't warrant the death penalty, but it can serve as a warning without death."
"People who are too ruthless easily lose people's support and arouse suspicion; while people who are too gentle are easily bullied and have difficulty making decisions."
"The future of the Tusu family will be in the hands of you and Bo'er. Your business territory will expand, your fields will be rich in food, your interpersonal relationships will be complicated, and your schemes will be numerous. For you, every event will be a test, so there is no need to avoid it."
Gu Yuexuan blinked slightly and whispered, "Grandfather, I'm just a little worried about Tu Subo."
Some minor mistakes could be covered up, and with Tu Subo's wit and delicacy, they wouldn't be easily noticed.
However, what will happen once you leave this small village, step into the wider world, and face more people?
With a personality like Tu Subo, if he unfortunately encounters a tough opponent one day, will he suffer?
Gu Yuexuan's worries were like a dark cloud, hanging over her heart.
Gu Yuexuan did not think that the lost lives were innocent or pitiable. In her heart, the only thing that kept her anxious was Tu Subo's figure, who seemed to be walking on the edge of a knife every day.
She was filled with anxiety.
