Li Yaxian was speechless when asked the question. If she hadn't poisoned her this time, she probably would have believed her for life.
But she dared not say it aloud, and schemed against him twice in matters of marriage.
After drugging Qiao Xiyan and putting her in his room, he never called her "Mom" again; he always called her "Ms. Li Yaxian."
She hadn't thought his calling her "Mom" was particularly pleasant before, but ever since the drugging incident, he hadn't called her "Mom" again, and instead called her "Ms. Li Yaxian." Her heart ached so much.
"I...I..."
Gu Sinian really didn't want to talk to her. People don't learn from others, but they learn from others after just one lesson.
After spending ten days in prison, I've come to understand many things...
But he felt guilty because she always did things against his wishes without even informing him.
If it weren't for the incident of Qiao Xiyan poisoning her, she would never have changed her ways.
never mind.
There should never have been any hope for her in the first place.
"Let's put aside our business for now. I have only one small request to ask of you."
"What request?"
"Stop targeting my wife. She doesn't owe you anything. There's no need to give her attitude all the time. She doesn't need to act according to your wishes. She's already gone. Put away that wicked mother-in-law of yours."
"If I find out you bullied her without my permission, I won't let you get away with it. You'll see."
Gu Yuanhong felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and went over to comfort her by holding her in his arms.
"How dare you talk to your mother like that? You have no manners."
"Keep an eye on your wife. Don't let her or my wife get away with this, or I'll never forgive you."
After saying what he wanted to say, Gu Sinian strode towards the door. He had no interest in watching Ms. Li Yaxian's grand performance; he had more important things to do.
All the members of the Gu family are in Willow Tree Village. Only if Willow Tree Village is safe can the Gu family members be safe.
The one who escaped was a major general with rich combat experience. He was only in his early twenties at the time and had already achieved such accomplishments. He was a rare talent.
He never had the chance to return to Taiwan and ended up wandering anywhere in China.
But now that he's old, there's nothing to be afraid of. The only thing is that Gu Yuanming and Gu Sihan beside him are still able-bodied men. That's what I'm worried about...
Gu Yuanming already harbored a lot of resentment towards his grandfather, as his father was sent to the army for training after turning eighteen.
Gu Yuanming had aspired to join the army since childhood, but his grandfather always disagreed and made him do some clerical work. From that time on, he resented his grandfather.
However, Gu Yuanming was unaware that his identity was sensitive. According to the Red Archives, his grandparents could adopt him, but their descendants could not serve in the military, in order to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself.
Shen Jiachen is very capable. In a short period of time, he has entered an important department of our army and holds a high position.
Every arrest mission he participated in failed, resulting in severe injuries.
After multiple failures, all involving the capture of enemy agents from Taiwan, the outstanding soldier's repeated failures aroused suspicion from his superiors.
A thorough investigation uncovered a major problem, leading to his arrest and interrogation. His wife, Gu Fangfei, and young son were also imprisoned.
My grandfather was a direct relative of my great-aunt, which led to him being placed under surveillance and having all his work suspended.
Later, the great-aunt came up with a way out. After Shen Jiachen escaped, she resolutely swallowed sleeping pills and committed suicide.
The red archives are all recorded; once bitten, twice shy.
Gu Yuanming didn't understand his grandfather's heart at all and kept accusing him of favoritism.
My great-aunt's dying wish was only that he live a peaceful and safe life, and not end up like his father.
But man proposes, God disposes. Some people are born bad. In order to pave the way for his son, he did not hesitate to sell him to human traffickers, just so that by the third generation, Gu Sihan would be the only grandson. He refused to believe that his grandfather would not let him join the army.
Unfortunately, he saw everything, but pretended to have amnesia just to lure out the person behind Gu Yuanming.
The person behind this was so well hidden that even when he joined the army at the age of eighteen, he still couldn't be lured out.
Gu Sihan still failed to join the army as he wished, and Gu Yuanming came to hate the Gu family.
Gu Sihan and Gu Yuanming were indeed exceptional candidates for military service, but the Red Archives recorded that their families had never been allowed to join the army.
He didn't know why he later got involved with Shen Jiachen; he would only find out after they were caught.
After finishing his business, Gu Sinian hurried home, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he sensed something unusual.
When he left, didn't Grandma say she wanted to cook turtle soup and kill a chicken to celebrate?
How come all the turtles and chickens in the house were eaten in just two hours after he left?
He couldn't smell any meaty aroma, but he did see a young man's shoe prints in the cowshed yard.
There were only three men in his family, and he knew exactly how big his grandfather's and father's feet were...
But whose shoe print is this? It's a little bigger than his, it's definitely not his shoe print.
There were many shoe prints of various sizes in the yard. There was one pair of shoe prints he had never seen before, but the other two familiar shoe prints had reappeared today.
Gu Sinian sneered inwardly. His wife was indeed incredibly prescient. Less than two hours after he finished speaking, this person came to their door.
I wanted to come back and have a meal with my wife before organizing the team leader to go up the mountain to arrest people, but now I don't have to.
He had arranged to meet the brigade leader at his house an hour later to go up the mountain. It would take an hour for the villagers to finish gathering their tools and arrive, and now the situation was critical.
But he didn't have time to gather his men; as soon as he returned, the people inside would come out and negotiate with him.
As he expected, Gu Sihan appeared before him. "Cousin, you shouldn't make a futile struggle. We've taken everyone in the Gu family hostage. If you had just resisted and obeyed, you would have suffered less."
"You're getting involved with Shen Jiachen like this, don't you know he'll get you killed?"
Gu Sihan wasn't fooled. Grandpa Shen treated him very well and was even planning to take his family to Taiwan to live a good life.
He didn't want to stay in such a godforsaken place, where he couldn't eat or sleep well, and had to keep company with cows every day. He wasn't an animal.
"Stop trying to sow discord. What you're saying is just stalling for time. It's useless to me. If you want to live, you'd better hand over the money from selling the dried peaches and the money your wife just brought back today."
“We don’t have any money. We just got out of prison and we’re penniless.”
"Don't try to fool me with these stupid tricks. We have connections. Your wife has about two thousand yuan that her father gave her, plus about five hundred and fifty yuan worth of dried yellow peaches that you sold recently."
“If you can easily scrape together three thousand yuan, we will release everyone in the Gu family.”
It was only now that Gu Sinian realized why they knew so much.
"So you were the drivers of the two oxcarts we hired."
