Chapter 56: So That's It 2
After her parents came home, Gu Leyou secretly hid in her room and cried.
How should you deal with having a pair of weak and incompetent parents?
That means when the enemy comes, we will fight them with our generals; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
So that night, Gu Leyou and Lu Yan lay on the bed. Gu Leyou hugged Lu Yan, lying in his arms and asked: "If I ask you to do something you don't want to do tomorrow, what will you do?"
The other person's words warmed her heart.
"My wife's words are of course the imperial decree. I have to listen to them. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"You can go to the Liu family tomorrow. I'm going to Xinyang to visit Liu Suyu in the prison. I'll also bring her some food and bedding. I promised my parents that I have to take good care of her."
"I've already promised you to take care of her, that's enough. Why do you still want me to go to the Liu family?" Lu Yan asked puzzledly.
"That's because their family is pretty unreasonable in the village. If we don't talk things out with them, it'll probably cause trouble for my parents."
"Okay, I understand."
So the next day, after breakfast, Gu Leyou and his wife split up into two groups.
Lu Yan first sent the child to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house to ask them to help take care of the child, and then he turned and went to Liu's house.
Gu Leyou went to the county government office to meet Su Jin.
Gu Leyou arrived at the county government office and bowed slightly when he saw Su Jin. Su Jin hurriedly stood up to greet him, with concern on her face: "Le You, what brings you here today?"
Gu Leyou sighed softly and said, "Sir Su, I want to go to the prison to see Liu Suyu. I hope you can help me and issue a document for visiting the prison." Su Jin nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Liu Suyu's case has not yet been concluded. You must abide by the prison rules when you visit her.
"good."
His men took Gu Leyou to the county jail.
Liu Suyu was very emotional when she saw her.
The tone was particularly unpleasant.
"What are you doing here? You don't need to pity me. I am in this state because of you."
"Stop being so hypocritical."
"You think I want to take care of you? It's because your parents went to my house and made a scene. My parents thought it would be very inconvenient for you as a girl to be in prison, so I came to see you and bring you some things."
"Humph, you'd be so kind. I almost killed your son. You'd be so kind to come and see me. You must have ulterior motives."
Gu Leyou looked at Liu Suyu's defensive and hostile face, feeling helpless and bitter. She said slowly, "Suyu, whether you believe it or not, I'm just doing what I think I should do. Let's put aside the past grudges. Now that you're in prison, I just hope to make your life a little more comfortable."
Liu Suyu snorted coldly: "Don't think I will be grateful to you. If it weren't for you, how could I fall into this situation." Gu Leyou shook her head gently: "Things have come to this point, there is no point in arguing. I brought some bedding and food to help you get through this period." As she said that, she put the things on the ground aside.
Liu Suyu's eyes swept over those items, and a subtle fluctuation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to indifference: "Do you think these can make up for everything I have suffered?" Gu Leyou took a deep breath: "I have never thought about making up for it, I just don't want to watch you die. I know you have resentment in your heart, but this case will eventually have a result. Before that, I don't want you to suffer too much."
At this time, the jailer outside the cell heard the quarrel inside, came over and scolded: "Stop quarreling, this is a prison, not a place for you to make a scene." Gu Leyou hurriedly apologized to the jailer: "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, I will talk to her properly right away." The jailer glanced at her, turned and left.
Gu Leyou looked at Liu Suyu again and lowered his voice: "Suyu, I also have my own family to take care of. If it weren't for the fact that you and I are from the same village, I wouldn't come here. I just hope you can think about it calmly and stop holding grudges."
Liu Suyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Do you think I want this? I am just forced by the situation. I don't want to hurt anyone."
Gu Leyou's heart moved, and he took a few steps closer: "I know you are also trapped by love, but your behavior at the time almost caused a disaster. But now, I am willing to believe that you have regrets."
Liu Suyu turned her head away: "Go away, I don't want to see you."
Gu Leyou sighed: "Then I'll leave the things here first, take care of yourself."
After Gu Leyou left the prison, he couldn't calm down for a long time. She didn't know whether her arrival would really have any impact on Liu Suyu, nor did she know whether all this would cause more trouble. On the other side, Lu Yan came to Liu's house, where the atmosphere was very depressing.
As soon as Lu Yan stepped into the Liu family yard, the Liu family members surrounded him with hostile eyes. Liu's father glared at him: "How dare you come here? Your wife hurt my daughter like that. You must give me an explanation today!"
Lu Yan looked calm and saluted with his fists: "Uncle Liu, I came here today because I want to have a good talk with you. Le You went to the prison to visit Su Yu out of kindness. We all hope that Su Yu can get out of trouble as soon as possible."
Liu's father snorted coldly: "Good intentions? I think she is just pretending to be nice."
Lu Yan patiently explained: "Master Liu, Le You is not that kind of person. She knows very well how difficult it is for Su Yu to be in prison, so she takes care of her regardless of the past grudges. We also don't want to have any grudges with the Liu family, we just hope that this matter can be properly resolved."
An old man next to Liu's father said, "Huh, that sounds good, but how do you plan to make up for the loss of my Liu family?"
Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Before Su Yu's case is concluded, we will do our best to take care of her and provide her with what she needs. If Su Yu is eventually found guilty, we will also give the Liu family a certain amount of compensation based on the circumstances. But if Su Yu is not guilty, I hope the Liu family can let go of their hatred and not cause any more trouble."
After hearing this, everyone in the Liu family started talking among themselves.
A middle-aged woman stood up and said, "How can we believe you if you are just talking nonsense? Who knows if you are just being perfunctory?"
Lu Yan looked at everyone and said sincerely: "Fellow villagers, I, Lu Yan, swear here that everything I say is true. If I break it, I will be struck by lightning. We also know the pain and worry of the Liu family at this moment. Le You could have stayed out of it, but she chose to help because we are all from the same village."
Liu's father's expression eased a little: "Even so, how are you going to ensure my daughter's safety and life in prison before the case is closed?"
Lu Yan replied: "I will send some money to the jailers regularly and ask them to take care of Su Yu and protect her from unnecessary torture. I will also replenish her food and clothes in time and never let her suffer from cold and hunger."
