Gu Shouxin, who was being carried, was deeply moved by what he heard, and after being carried home, he began to cause all sorts of trouble.
They threatened to go on a hunger strike and commit suicide, forcing Grandpa and Grandma Gu to propose marriage to the Xie family.
The elderly couple had investigated Xie Jiaoniang's character thoroughly and knew that this whole affair was actually Xie Jiaoniang's own doing. She was infatuated with wealth and status and couldn't wait for Gu Shouxin to pass the imperial examinations. She had successfully seduced Young Master Huang herself, so how could she possibly propose marriage?
Grandma Gu was too lazy to waste words with Gu Shouxin, but Grandpa Gu was soft-hearted and patiently explained to Gu Shouxin what kind of person Xie Jiaoniang was.
Unfortunately, Gu Shouxin, immersed in his great love, could never have imagined that at that moment, he would begin to hate his own parents because of Xie Jiaoniang.
Three days before Xie Jiaoniang's wedding, Grandpa Gu fell seriously ill. Grandma Gu took Grandpa Gu to the county for treatment, and Young Master Huang brought his men to visit Gu Shouxin.
At that time, only the pregnant Zhang and her two-year-old Uncle Gu were at home. Gu Lin went up the mountain with her Uncle Gu to carry firewood.
Young Master Huang stood at Gu Shouxin's door and thoroughly humiliated Gu Shouxin and his family.
With her pregnant belly, Zhang and her two-year-old Uncle Gu could do nothing but watch helplessly as Young Master Huang left. After that, Gu Shouxin picked up a sickle and slashed his wrist. Uncle Gu was so frightened that he fainted. Zhang grabbed a handful of wood ash and smeared it on Gu Shouxin's wrist. Then, with her belly nearing delivery, she ran to find the nearest family to help.
Gu Shouxin was taken to the town's pharmacy, which was owned by the Zhou family. Master Zhou happened to be in the shop listening to the manager's report. When he saw that it was Gu Shouxin, he ordered the resident doctor to give him the best medicine.
Gu Shouxin survived, but after waking up, he kept coughing up blood. Finding himself in town, he ran away again, this time to find Xie Jiaoniang. Xie Jiaoniang still had the same attitude: "Brother Xin, I love you, but unfortunately we are not destined to be together. Brother Xin, go home and take care of yourself. Forget about me in the future!" "Brother Xin, I will not forget you. If Brother Xin is willing, Jiaoniang is willing to give herself to Brother Xin now."
Xie Jiaoniang immediately took off her outer garment, certain that Gu Shouxin was seriously injured and unable to do anything to her.
But this scene was witnessed by Young Master Huang. He was furious, and Xie Jiaoniang claimed that she was forced by Gu Shouxin. Young Master Huang ordered his men to beat Gu Shouxin half to death and throw him into a mass grave.
Gu Shouxin did not return home until Xie and Huang got married. Grandma Gu searched for him for two days. Later, it was Zhou's men who found him in the mass grave.
Grandma Gu arrived at the door with an axe the day after Xie and Huang got married.
She slaughtered all the livestock kept in the Huang family's courtyard and beat Young Master Huang and Xie Jiaoniang half to death.
When Master Huang threatened to report the matter to the authorities, Grandma Gu was not afraid at all. She simply picked him up and declared that if he had any intention of reporting the matter to the authorities, she would go all out and wipe out his entire family.
Old Master Huang was so frightened that he wet himself and begged for mercy loudly.
Grandma Gu had only one request: immediately. She wanted to personally watch and supervise the family's move from Zhoujia Town.
And so, on the second night after the Huang family's son was married, the entire family, including the servants, disappeared.
Grandma Gu didn't kill anyone. Everyone knew that Master Zhou's daughter had married a high-ranking official in the capital. Even the magistrate of Taoyuan County gave her face. No one died. Even though the Huang family reported it to the authorities, the yamen did not pursue Grandma Gu. As the county magistrate changed every three years, the matter was dropped. However, Gu Shouxin was unaware of this.
