“Mom has never been close to me since I was little, so I can’t blame myself for thinking the wrong way. If she had treated me like my older brother, I wouldn’t have thought the wrong way. Yes, yes, yes… it’s all her fault… it’s her favoritism that has led to me now… yes, yes, yes… it’s all her fault… it’s all that old woman’s fault… it’s her… it’s all her fault…”
Yan Yan couldn't stand this brat slandering her like that, so she stepped forward and slapped him across the face.
"May you be struck by lightning for being heartless! How have I treated you? Put your hand on your heart and say it again. You have everything Yuan Hong has. When have I ever mistreated you? Even a stepmother isn't as good as me."
"It's human nature to instinctively like one's own children a little more. I've been fair enough, afraid you'll overthink it. I've been paying more attention to you than your older brother. You really are an ungrateful wretch."
"I shouldn't have agreed to bring you home in the first place and let you grow up in the orphanage. Would you still be able to say such tough things today if I did?"
Gu Yuanming didn't forget to continue stabbing her in the heart, "Even if I grew up in the orphanage, I don't need your pity, and I don't want to grow up in the Gu family. If I had a choice, I would choose to grow up in the orphanage. I don't need your fake pity. Growing up in your biased eyes has made me who I am today."
"You...you...you ungrateful wretch! I've wasted all my sincerity on you...bastard...raising a dog would be worse than raising you...give a dog a bite to eat...and it'll wag its tail at least..."
Yan Yan clutched her chest and cried her heart out. How could she not have feelings for this ungrateful wretch she had raised for so many years? Even a dog would wag its tail at her. It was truly not worth it.
Gu Huadong was utterly disappointed in Gu Yuanming. He helped his wife to a bench to rest, not wanting to say a single unnecessary word to this unfilial son.
He's a traitor. I took pity on him because he was my sister's only bloodline and brought him home to raise. Little did I know that this was the beginning of all my misfortunes.
First, he orchestrated the sale of his only grandson, then he framed them for treason and colluding with the enemy. Due to insufficient evidence, the whole family was sent to the countryside for reform.
They were involved in the yellow peach poisoning incident again, which resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen innocent people. What a tragedy! What kind of heartless bastards would do such a thing?
From then on, he had no further connection with this person, and after his death, he was not buried in the Gu family ancestral cemetery.
Let these three generations live together forever... until death do us part...
Gu Sinian found it laughable. Growing up in a place like an orphanage, was it a place where a selfish person like him could survive? It was a waste of breath to talk to him.
Even on the verge of death, they show no remorse. "Take them away! I find it incredibly annoying to hear them say even a single word."
The captain waved his hand, and several burly men stepped forward and dragged the three men, who were lying on the ground like corpses, away from the Gu family's cowshed.
"Now that the person has been caught, I have to strike while the iron is hot and send him to the county town, lest he escape again after the effects of the 'soft bone powder' wear off. That would be a grave sin for me. After all, more than a dozen lives have been lost, and I would be doing those lives a disservice if I didn't get shot."
Su Ying felt a chill run down her spine when she heard that they would escape again. That was absolutely unacceptable. These three were too capable of committing crimes. Who knew what earth-shattering things they would do if they escaped again?
He used his pocket to pull out two small bottles from his spatial storage and handed them to the captain.
"This is?"
"The red bottle contains the Softening Powder, and the green bottle contains the antidote. Remember to apply the antidote later, and then apply more Softening Powder to the three of them, so that if the effects of the medicine wear off, they will be unable to be caught. Even if you send them to the county town tomorrow, I guarantee they will be limp and unable to exert any strength."
"That would be great."
Sun Youde took the two bottles and left with a smile. In his eyes, anyone who could become a major general must have some real skills, and he, a mere farmer, couldn't afford to play such tricks on him.
Su Ying reminded him again, "Remember, the red bottle contains the Softening Powder, and the green one is the antidote. Don't get them mixed up."
"Don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who can't think straight. My brain hasn't deteriorated yet. I can remember it after hearing it once."
"That's good."
All the men the captain brought left in a flash, and their breaths were much fresher.
Su Ying turned her head and saw that everyone in the room looked listless and dispirited. She suggested, "Aren't we going to celebrate? Who's going to make the turtle soup and kill the chicken?"
Su Ying's reminder brought everyone back to their senses. It was all those three bad apples' fault for causing trouble at the Gu family's house and spoiling everyone's fun; they had forgotten about such an important matter.
Yan Yan was no longer sad. She went to the kitchen in high spirits to make turtle soup, which she was good at. After all, everyone liked the turtle soup she made last time.
"I'll be in charge of making the turtle soup. Yuan Hong, you help me kill the chicken."
"Okay."
Li Yaxian stood to the side, at a loss, unsure how to face her son.
Gu Yuanhong noticed her unease and said, "Come with me to help."
"good."
Gu Yuanhong looked in the direction of Gu Sinian, and then looked at the person in front of him. What a mess of things they were doing.
well.
What a terrible thing to do.
It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Try to make amends in the future, as wounds from needle pricks are not easy to heal.
Let time heal those wounds...
Three hours later, the family was having a harmonious reunion dinner in the living room when a woman rushed into the living room in a panic. She was so exhausted that she collapsed to the ground and could not get up.
Li Yaxian recognized Gu Siqing, who was undergoing reform in Phoenix Village, at a glance. Why was she here? Had something happened?
She hurriedly knelt down to help her up, "Qingqing, what's wrong? Get up quickly."
Gu Siqing had no strength left. Lying in her mother's arms, she looked at Li Yaxian with teary eyes and threw herself into her arms, crying bitterly.
"Mom! Yu Chuan has a fever. She's had a high fever for three whole days and it won't go down. The county hospital has diagnosed her with encephalitis and she needs penicillin to help bring down the fever. Otherwise, she'll become mentally impaired, or even die."
