"Niannian, go wait for your grandma and the others at the village entrance. Tell them that the Zhang couple has been caught and that they don't need to look anymore. Just arrest the people from Gaojia Village," Cai Xiaolian said after hearing Gu Nian's explanation.
Madam Li had already left. She had loaded up her goods and then took Grandma Gu to the county. So, only Cai Xiaolian, Empress Dowager Jiang, and her maid were left at home.
"Let me go with you and take a look!" Grandpa Gu followed Gu Nian.
Seeing Gu Si's bewildered expression, Cai Xiaolian felt a pang of sympathy and comforted her, "Sisi, your mother is alright now, your sister is taking care of her. Renren has also been searched for. Traveling by water is slower than by land, so your second brother Xue will definitely be able to intercept her and bring Renren back."
Gu Si hugged Cai Xiaolian tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Second Aunt, why did Uncle and Aunt lie to my mother and help the villains to snatch my brother? I always thought Uncle was an honest man. He would even scold Zhang Xiaohu when he bullied me. Uncle didn't stop others from hitting my mother. My mother's head wound was so big, and she bled a lot. Her clothes were covered in blood."
Cai Xiaolian patted Gu Si's head: "Sisi, not everyone you think should help you will actually help you. When something really happens, you can often see who is truly good to you and who is only superficially nice. So, Sisi, don't be sad. You may encounter many more such situations in the future, so don't place too much hope in others."
Gu Si hugged Cai Xiaolian and cried, taking her words to heart.
"Gu Xianglan! What have you done to my son and grandson? Release my son and grandson right now!" At this moment, the voice of the old lady of the Zhang family rang out from outside, and she was very arrogant.
Gu Xin ran to the door and saw that Old Mrs. Zhang was carrying a knife!
Gu Xin looked back at Cai Xiaolian and Empress Dowager Jiang. Her mother didn't know kung fu, and although Grandma Jiang could catch snakes, what if she got hurt by Old Madam Zhang?
With my father and sister gone, I must protect my mother well.
Gu Xin stepped over the threshold and went outside.
"You little brat, where's your grandma?" Old Mrs. Zhang glared fiercely at Gu Xin, holding a kitchen knife.
Gu Xin frowned as she looked at Old Mrs. Zhang. She didn't like hearing the villagers curse; she thought it sounded bad. Moreover, her mother and sister told her not to learn these curse words, as they were very ill-mannered.
"I'm asking you a question!" Old Mrs. Zhang walked up to Gu Xin in a few steps and brandished the knife to scare her.
Empress Dowager Jiang gave Bi Rong a wink, but before Bi Rong could come out, Gu Xin grabbed Old Madam Zhang's hand, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. Bi Rong silently walked out and stood in the shadows under the eaves.
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts! You little hussy, you little slut! You were born of a mother but were raised without one! You ill-mannered brat! Just like your mother, you'll be a barren hen in the future! Like mother, like mother! You who sell yourself into prostitution! You shameless little slut! Ouch!" Old Mrs. Zhang cursed vehemently, but Gu Xin's exertion only made her feel more pain, and she lost the energy to continue cursing.
Cai Xiaolian stormed out in anger.
"Are you done cursing?" Gu Xin looked coldly at Old Mrs. Zhang.
"You little slut who deserves to be struck by lightning! Your son is a useless thing without a penis! You've been cursed by thousands..." Old Mrs. Zhang was very stubborn. She had been cursing for so long but still hadn't seen Grandma Gu, so she was certain that Grandma Gu wasn't home, and she became even more arrogant.
Gu Xin knew what Old Mrs. Zhang was about to say, and she was furious. She slapped Old Mrs. Zhang twice across the face.
Cai Xiaolian, who had been about to attack someone, paused in her tracks.
"You dare hit me?" Old Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Xin incredulously.
Gu Xin shook off her hand and looked at her coldly: "What are you afraid of?"
After saying that, he slapped her twice more, throwing the old lady Zhang to the ground.
