Chapter 271: Filial Piety



Two lives lie in the middle. The mother and son, who were originally close to each other, now have their own thoughts. It is very sad, but helpless.

Neither of them had forgotten that Gu Xingyu was still lying in the bedroom!

The sky was overcast and a light drizzle was falling. After dinner, Dong Hongcheng went to school holding an umbrella.

Even after he had walked a long way, he could still feel his mother's gaze from behind him.

Although the weather was a bit chilly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was absent-minded in class the whole day, and the teachers and classmates were too lazy to pay attention to him. As long as he didn't make trouble and disrupt the classroom discipline, it was fine.

As soon as the school bell rang and the teacher gave the order, the children couldn't wait to pack up their things and rush to the school gate.

Dong Hongcheng didn't want to go back, so he could only stand there and nod and buy time. When he had no other choice, he picked up his schoolbag and walked home with heavy steps.

As soon as I got home, I saw a mother who looked flustered and at a loss.

Seeing Dong Hongcheng coming back, she forced herself to calm down and asked Dong Hongcheng to go back to his room.

Dong Hongcheng didn't dare to refuse and walked towards the bedroom without wasting a second.

When he was about to go upstairs, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Dong Juaner. At this moment, she couldn't spare any attention to Dong Hongcheng at all. She walked around the living room anxiously, biting her nails from time to time.

After sending Dong Hongcheng back to the bedroom, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she had to face the problem that made her anxious.

She... couldn't deal with Gu Xingyu's body. She had originally planned to bury him without anyone noticing.

But she overlooked a big problem. How could she do this in broad daylight without anyone noticing? But she didn't want to bury Gu Xingfan in her own yard, otherwise she would have nightmares every night.

As soon as Dong Hongcheng left today, she went out to find out what was going on, but as soon as she went out, she saw the gossips from the neighbors, and she was so scared that she took her foot back.

But no matter what the situation was, Gu Xingyu's body had to be dealt with quickly. There was really no other way, so he gritted his teeth and buried it in his own yard.

Before she could come up with a good idea, her son Dong Hongcheng failed to keep up.

Perhaps the image of that night was deeply rooted in people's minds, Dong Hongcheng often dreamed of the scene of that night. The difference was that the person who was killed became him...

This dream tormented him and he couldn't sleep all night. As soon as he fell asleep, he saw Dong Juaner's calm yet terrifying face.

As for Dong Juan'er, she was preoccupied these past two days and didn't notice that something was wrong with her son's mentality.

On the third day, Dong Hongcheng couldn't bear it any longer. He finally couldn't help but tell his good brother Li Zhi what had happened in the past two days, hoping to seek some comfort.

Li Zhi: “…” You really don’t treat me as an outsider!

Li Zhi and Dong Hongcheng are birds of a feather. Dong Hongcheng's family is rich and has never treated him badly. It can be said without hesitation that he is a nouveau riche among all the elementary school students.

It is precisely because of this that even though he has a bad temper and is ugly, there are still many people who are willing to follow him and call him "big brother" just to take advantage of him.

Li Zhi is such a person. His family is not well off, so he can only flatter Dong Hongcheng, hoping that something will slip through his fingers.

Since Li Zhi was the one who flattered him the loudest and listened to him the most among all his younger brothers, Dong Hongcheng really treated him as his own. After thinking it over, he told him what happened at home, hoping that he could give him some advice.

Li Zhi: “…” He had so much to complain about.

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Although Li Zhi was shocked, he did not show it on his face. He just comforted Dong Hongcheng not to think too much. Maybe Dong Juan'er didn't want to harm him at all?

As soon as Dong Hongcheng left after being comforted, he quickly ran to the teacher's office and told the teacher about this matter.

Dong Juan'er at home felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. After thinking about it, she decided to bury Gu Xingyu in her own yard first, and wait until the storm had passed before doing anything else.

Finally finished, she stamped the dirt vigorously, panting with exhaustion, but still had a relaxed smile on her face. Her family rarely had visitors, so no one would notice.

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door, which scared Dong Juaner so much that she turned pale. She had a bad premonition.

"Open the door, open the door... Is Dong Juan'er home? The police are investigating a case, please cooperate!"

In an instant, her face turned pale, and even her lips began to turn white.

How...how could it be...so fast...

Seeing no one open the door, the people outside broke in directly...

What happened next was a natural progression. Dong Juan'er didn't try to hide it at all. Besides, she was a fool to begin with. How could she be expected to become scheming all of a sudden?

The police didn't even need to ask any questions. As soon as she entered the police station, Dong Juaner blurted out everything she should and shouldn't say.

The police couldn't help but sigh: If only all the prisoners were so obedient!

When Dong Hongcheng came back, his house had been robbed and his mother was gone. He blinked his narrow eyes and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The fear and terror in his heart these days have all turned into uneasiness and despair. As foolish as he is, he knows that without his family, he will not be able to move forward in this world.

It was not until the police notified Gu Xingfan to claim the body that Yan Bai and the others learned that Dong Juaner had been executed.

Yan Bai used this incident to teach his brother and sister that the law of justice will not let anything slip through.

Given the relationship between Gu Xingyu and Gu Xingfan, Gu Xingfan was certainly unwilling to claim Gu Xingyu's body, but Gu Xingyu had no other relatives, and if Gu Xingfan didn't go, his grandfather might have to go.

Gu Xingfan was silent. Although Gu Xingyu had done many evil things, he was still his grandfather's grandson after all, and he often sat on his grandfather's lap when he was a child.

Although grandpa didn't say it, Gu Xingfan knew that he still cared about Gu Xingyu in his heart. Gu Xingfan even felt that the reason grandpa loved Lin Yitao so much was partly due to empathy.

If he asked his grandfather to collect Gu Xingyu's body, Gu Xingfan felt that it would be better for him to go himself!

My grandfather is old after all. To be honest, knowing the news is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.

He didn't dare to gamble. If anything happened to his grandfather, he would never forgive himself.

So, Gu Xingfan went anyway.

On a sunny day, another grave mound appeared next to the one covered with weeds. Here, Gu Changrong's family was buried.

On the day of the burial, grandpa was obviously in a bad mood. As people get older, they care more about the love affairs of their children. No matter how useless the child was, he was still his grandson. He could not be happy, nor could he be indifferent.
