Chapter 162 Trouble
So after returning home, Gu Leyou called his son over.
She asked patiently, "Son, listen to what I'm telling you. You're not young anymore. Dad and Mom are planning to send you to a private school in town to study and listen to the teacher's lectures. Are you willing to go?"
"Mother, I don't want to go. I heard what you said at my grandma and grandpa's house just now. My grandma and grandpa think we are living well in this village, so why should we leave? If we want to study, isn't it the same where we study? Isn't the teacher's task to teach the same thing?"
When he had not yet encountered danger, didn't his father send him to school? He started his education at the age of three, so when he was away from his father, he read some books. But since leaving his father, he never went to school again, and he had long forgotten those words. Now he has to start over, which is not difficult for him at his age. As long as he studies hard, he will definitely achieve something when he grows up.
However, he also didn't want his brother and mother to pay too much attention to him. After all, they had their own lives. For him, the fact that they took him in was already a great help, so he couldn't ask for more.
Finally, they asked the child for his opinion and sent him to the village school.
The teacher at the village school also knew their family, so he enthusiastically accepted the child.
As for the place in the private school in the town, it can only be given to other children in need. After all, they no longer go to school in the town, and this place cannot be wasted.
In this way, the child started studying in the village school.
The days returned to peace.
Just when everyone thought they could live comfortably.
A group of strangers came to the village.
The sudden arrival of such a group of people made many people in the village alert.
The village chief walks around the village every day, afraid that something might go wrong.
When these outsiders came to the village, they looked left and right every day as if they were looking for someone.
When Yang saw this group of people, she came up with a plan.
After all, if he's not having a good time, the rest of the people won't have an easy time either, so he came up with a plan to harm others.
But she won't infringe on her own interests.
So she asked carefully: "My dear brother, you guys came to our village, you are not here to have fun, are you looking for someone? Tell me, I can tell you where the people who live in the village are. I know where they are."
"Sister-in-law, have you ever seen a man with a child here many years ago? He should have married and had children now, probably a family of four, but they didn't always live here. They came here a few years ago. He was a tall man with regular features and a child. The child was about four or five years old and was also pretty."
After listening to what this group of people said, Yang immediately understood that they were probably talking about Gu Leyou's family of four.
But he was not stupid. After all, Gu Leyou had just helped their daughter a few days ago, so he would still remember the favor and would not repay evil, so he asked them carefully.
"Brother, you guys are here to look for someone in our village, right? I seem to have some impression of the man you mentioned. He is indeed married and has a beautiful daughter. But they seem to have gone out these past two days and are not in our village. They don't seem to have come back yet. If you have something to do with them, you have to wait two days before you can come."
Yang's words were so convincing that they were stunned.
This group of people left temporarily.
Yang did not dare to waste any time and hurried back to tell her husband and mother-in-law about it.
Grandma asked, "You didn't say anything nonsense to them, did you? The village chief has already said that we can't say anything to outsiders to avoid unnecessary trouble. Also, they look like they are here to look for our family, so we have to be careful. If the electric heater doesn't work, it will be troublesome. If they have to use surgery or something, it will cost a lot of money."
"I see, but they said they would come back in two days. If we don't let them see the people they want to see, it will definitely be more troublesome. Instead of that, it's better to find them and meet them. They must have something to ask them. I heard that Lu Yan is outside. Maybe he is his contractor outside and wants him to go back to work. It's unknown."
"You, a woman, must not repay kindness with enmity. The girl just helped your Mingyue and solved a big problem for him. If you do this, our relatives will not have any contact with us in the future. And you brought them to look for her. Isn't that causing trouble for our family? Just find an excuse to get away with it. They will leave naturally if they can't find anyone. They won't stay in our village forever. We must not let the wolf into the house. It will be terrible if it turns out to be a bad guy."
This is what my uncle said.
My uncle is a very clear-headed person when it comes to right and wrong. Although he sometimes aligns with my aunt or likes to take advantage of her, he still knows the seriousness of the matter.
That afternoon, Old Mrs. Liu hurried to her second granddaughter's house.
Fortunately, they are all at home today, so it is easier to talk to them.
"Granddaughter, tell your husband not to go out these few days. A group of people came to the village. I heard from your aunt that they are here to look for you. You must be very careful. Did you offend someone you shouldn't have offended outside? They came to the village to look for you, but your aunt sent them away because she was grateful for your help to Mingyue. I guess they will come again in a few days.
You have to think about how to deal with it, or just hide away. If you have offended someone, the best way is to hide away. ”
After hearing what Old Lady Liu said, they immediately became alert.
It seemed that the group of people were coming for him.
It seemed that this village was temporarily unsafe, so they and their family had to leave quickly so as not to implicate the innocent people in the village. If their group started to kill, these powerless villagers would be no match for them at all. In fact, they had also heard some rumors at home.
So they stayed at home these days and didn't dare to go out.
Because they were afraid that they were really here to look for their family of four. If they got into trouble and implicated innocent people, they would be guilty.
It turned out that these people were targeting their family of four, so they had to be careful.
Grandma was right. They should hide away and come back when the situation has calmed down. Then they can explain to their family.
"I know. We will be careful. We will go out for a few days. When they stop coming, we will come back to explain to you. It may be that your grandson-in-law offended someone while working outside, and they want revenge." Gu Leyou explained lightly.
Even with this, Old Mrs. Liu still believed it. After all, her granddaughter never lied, so they agreed.
But her son had just started school for a few days and now he had to leave again. This had a huge impact on her, so she had to discuss it with her husband.
So they planned to discuss at night whether or not to leave. If they decided to leave, they would have to live a life of wandering again.
night.
After they put the child to sleep, they went to their bedroom.
"Husband, do you think we should leave? From what grandma said, those people must be here to look for us again. Could it be that there is a problem with the prince? Do you want to go out and contact someone to see if it is a problem? If so, it will not be safe for us to stay in the village. If not, then we should stay in the village for the time being. The problem of the child's education has just been solved. We can't run around anymore. Wouldn't that make the child suffer?"
"I don't think this matter is that simple. Don't go out these two days. If the child needs to go to school, don't ask you to send him off. Let your parents do it. If the child comes back, let him go back to his parents first. Don't go back to our house first, just in case. If someone with unknown origin takes the child away, we won't be able to afford the consequences."
So the next day, Gu Leyou packed some clothes for the child and sent the child to his parents' home. He kept an eye on the child when he went to and from school these days and could not go out until his grandparents showed up at the school gate.
Lu Yan hurried out from the back mountain and went to the town to inquire about the situation. Sure enough, there were a few people from other places who were staying in a small inn in the town recently.
It seems that I cannot go back to the village for the time being. I have to let my wife pack up and come out quickly. As for my son, my parents-in-law and the village chief will help. The safety of my wife and I is the most important thing right now.
After Lu Yan returned home, he and his wife packed their luggage and ran up the hill with their daughter through the back door. They thought they would live in the town for a while. He had spent a lot of the money he earned in the past few days in Jincheng, so he didn't know how long he could last in the town.
A few days later, that group of people really went to Gujia Village again.
However, after asking around, they arrived at Gu Leyou's home and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.
When Yang learned the news, she was afraid that the people in the village would be implicated. After all, this was a matter of life and death, so she quickly called the village chief.
Something happened in the village chief's family these days.
Because we didn't come up with a satisfactory result when we discussed building a house that day, it was kept being delayed until two days ago.
The in-laws finally agreed not to build the house, but they insisted that their son and grandson must go back. It didn't matter whether their daughter-in-law went back or not, because the child was almost ready to be weaned and just needed some rice soup and rice porridge. The village chief and his wife would not agree so quickly, and they had to sit down as a family and have a good talk.
So the village chief's family has been very worried these past two days, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
"Village chief, you see, this group of people come to our village from time to time every day. I guess they come to steal. How do you think you should deal with this matter?"
The village chief looked the group up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for, brothers? The people in our village are all honest people. We are peasants and have done nothing bad. If you want to cause trouble, we will seek the help of the county magistrate."
"You are the head of this village. Our organization has told us not to cause trouble. We are here to look for someone. Is there a man with a child in your village who came here a few years ago and has lived here for a long time? We are his relatives in the village. There is a problem with his family in his hometown, and we are here to find him to go back and solve the problem."
"There is a father and son like this in our village, and there are many of them. Who are you looking for? Do you have a name? If not, we can't bring all of them to you. It would be a waste of time and they would definitely not agree."
"Oh, by the way, a few days ago, an old lady told me that she has married and has a daughter. She also has another wife, so they are a family of four. There aren't many families of four with both sons and daughters in the village. Just find me the people who match what I said, and I'll know them at a glance."
When the village chief heard this, he felt something was wrong.
It's possible that Gu Laoer's daughter and son-in-law had offended someone outside, so they came to the village to seek revenge. The villagers in these villages are all honest farmers. If they offend these people, they will be finished.
So the village chief became very alert. At this time, Old Lady Liu also heard the news and hurried over, followed by Yang.
"You are looking for my grandson-in-law and granddaughter, right? I am their grandmother. Unfortunately, a relative in my hometown passed away two days ago, and I am not in good health and cannot go back to help, so I sent my second granddaughter and son-in-law back. Their children are still young and cannot leave their parents, so they also went back with me."
One of the people in the group asked, "How can it be such a coincidence that they left as soon as we arrived? Could it be that one of you tipped them off, so they ran away? We just want to find him for something, and we won't take their lives. Do you have to be so careful? Where are they? Hand them over to me quickly, otherwise we brothers will not leave. You can handle it yourself."
The village chief didn't know what to do at this moment.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, the village chief calmed himself down and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, our village has always been a place with simple folk customs. They are really not in the village. I know that they went out to the old sister-in-law's hometown two days ago." As the village chief spoke, he was very panicked. It would be bad if they didn't believe this lie.
Old Mrs. Liu also pretended to wipe away her tears and cried, "My poor relative was originally my cousin. We had a very good relationship since childhood. She passed away and I am very sad. However, my old bones can't walk anymore. I can only count on them to go back and help with the funeral. If I had known you were coming, I would have never let them go so hastily!"
Mrs. Liu's words really made these outsiders fall into deep thought. It seemed that what these old guys said was probably true. The person they were looking for did not seem to be in the village.
Everyone's heart was in their throat, hoping they could get away with it.
