Rong Dong'an watched the old gambler leave the Gu family with a limp, and then saw Gu Changqing standing silently at the door, his head hanging down, seemingly lost in thought. But as the sky grew brighter, he could vaguely see that Gu Changqing's hands were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to hit someone!
Rong Dong'an was very curious about what the old gambler had said to Gu Changqing.
Unfortunately, he was afraid of being discovered by the old gambler, so he didn't dare to get too close and therefore didn't know anything.
Back home, Rong Dong'an told Xu about it. Xu also found it strange. "Should we tell the village head about the old gambler's unusual behavior? Have him have someone keep an eye on the old gambler and the Gu family!"
Rong Dong'an nodded: "I'll talk to the village head later, just in case something goes wrong."
Rong Sheng got up, still half asleep, and heard Rong Dong'an and Xu Shi talking. "Father, Mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean by watching the old gambler? What did he do this time?"
Madam Xu quickly said, "The old gambler is going to work in the fields. We live next door to him and need to help keep an eye on him, but I'm worried that your father and three brothers might not be able to keep an eye on him sometimes, so I'm asking the village head to help keep an eye on him."
"Oh, I see!" Rong Sheng didn't press for details. Even a fool could tell that her mother was just fooling her.
After breakfast, the three Rong brothers, Rong Dong'an and Rong Hua, took their future husbands to work in the fields. Since others had helped them with their work, they would help others with theirs in return.
Now that they have the sickle, they can work much faster, so the people of the tribe are full of energy.
Rong Sheng still didn't go to work in the fields. Instead, she carried her medicine box and treated people in the village. Some of the villagers' illnesses couldn't be cured in two or three days and they needed to take good care of themselves. However, there was too much work in the fields and no one had time. Rong Sheng could only prescribe some medicine for them and let them take it three times a day. She also made sure they used all the medicines she could find.
Once the work in the fields is finished, Rong Sheng will be very busy for a while, busy treating people's illnesses.
While treating patients, Rong Sheng deliberately passed by the Gu family. She had heard her parents mention the Gu family that morning, and although she didn't know why, she wanted to pass by and hear if the Gu family was causing trouble again.
However, it was very quiet!
It's so quiet it's like nobody's home!
It's strange, really. There's not a single sign of anything happening to the celery. You see, the county magistrate came to Zhonggui Village to investigate the matter of people dying because of Gu Sanniu's curse, and the whole village knows about it.
However, Gu San Niu's mother, Madam Du, remained completely silent, which is consistent with Madam Du's shrewish and ruthless character!
Even the usually restless Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu were unusually quiet, as if they hadn't been seen for the past few days and no one knew what the brothers had been up to.
They don't do any work in the fields; Gu Changqing and his two daughters-in-law are the ones who do the work. Their family owns a lot of land, twice as much as the Rong family's!
Therefore, the three of them simply couldn't harvest all the crops in the field in a short period of time.
Even with the help of five girls, they were all girls, and no matter how capable they were, they couldn't do much work. Moreover, the tasks of feeding the pigs, cooking, and washing clothes were all assigned to these five girls.
Tonight, I need to have my second brother or my future husband bring me over to see what the Gu family is up to.
Meanwhile, Zuo Li secretly investigated Shanggui Village, especially the matter of that person, hoping to find out something surprising by starting with that person.
Therefore, the secret guards also secretly assisted Magistrate Zuo Li in searching for evidence of that person's crimes, making things proceed more smoothly.
But so much time has passed, it can't be investigated in a day or two, but at least they've gradually accumulated more and more evidence.
But at noon, the old gambler returned home, intending to cook himself a meal, but there was nothing in the house except water. Helpless, the old gambler went to the Gu family's house.
Anyway, I need to talk to Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu about something, and I might as well get a free meal while I'm at it.
Rong Sheng had just returned from treating a patient when she saw the old gambler come out of his house, staggering away in another direction.
She immediately put the medicine box inside, said goodbye to Rong Yu, and secretly followed the old gambler to see where he went and what he was doing.
Gu Beiyi ate very quickly. After finishing his meal, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went home. As soon as he got home, he saw Rong Sheng sneaking behind the old gambler, his sexy and handsome lips curving slightly.
He darted behind Rong Sheng, covered his mouth, and led him down another path: "Don't move, it's me!"
Hearing Gu Beiyi's voice, Rong Sheng stopped struggling. "I almost used sleeping pills on you!"
Gu Beiyi's lips twitched: "What are you doing following that old gambler?"
Rong Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This morning, I heard my parents mention the old gambler and the Gu family. I found it strange, but I didn't pay much attention to it."
But when I came back from treating someone, I saw the old gambler coming out of his house. I thought it was strange, so I followed him! And that's how you ended up here.”
Gu Beiyi knew what Rong Sheng was wondering about halfway through the conversation: "I'll take you to see!"
As he spoke, he wrapped his large hand around Rong Sheng's slender waist, and in a swift movement, he appeared behind the old gambler in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the old gambler's back, Rong Sheng turned around and smiled at the handsome and outstanding Gu Beiyi. The smile made the depression in Gu Beiyi's heart disappear instantly, as if the winter snow melted and spring flowers bloomed.
As a result, when Rong Sheng saw the old gambler arrive at the Gu family's house, she frowned slightly. The way this old gambler knocked on the door made it seem like the Gu family's house was his own.
