On the one hand, it was because of what Zhong said about Hu Qiangzi's love for Du Sanniang; on the other hand, it was because Zhong said that Hu Qiangzi would be happy down there.
Everyone thinks that Mr. Zhong is mentally ill, really.
Zhong laughed: "Hahaha, Qiangzi, we've been mother and son for so long, you must be very satisfied with the last thing your mother did for you! This shameless slut will never forget you in her life."
Du Sanniang interrupted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Qiangzi said he's going to the capital so you can have a better life. Why are you dragging me into this? I'm a divorced woman, ten years older than Qiangzi. A few years older and I could be his mother. Even though you're not Qiangzi's biological mother, you shouldn't be slandering him like this after his death!"
Zhong glared fiercely at Du Sanniang: "You still know you're ten years older than him? You still know you could be his mother in a few years? And yet you still seduced him? Did you go to the capital so I could have a better life? You went to the capital only so you could have a better life! He's always dreaming of becoming successful and worthy of you! I don't know where he heard that there was a couple in the west, a couple several years apart in age, the woman divorced, and the man was in the same situation as him, and they ended up happily together. He's dreaming like that and wants to be like them! If you hadn't seduced him, would this naive young man have fallen for an old woman for no reason?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin realized that Xidi was the place she had just been talking about with Zheng Qiu and the others a few days ago.
Qiangzi's sources are really quite extensive!
That's normal, though. Taizhou isn't far from the capital. Ying Shi and Yu Ding stayed in the capital for a long time and even went to Jiangnan. They didn't travel by water but by land, so passing through Qi'an Town was inevitable, and encountering Qiangzi was quite possible.
So, what Mrs. Zhong said is quite possible!
However, it is not a sin for Qiangzi to fall in love with Du Sanniang. In Gu Xin's eyes, Du Sanniang is definitely not the kind of person who would seduce people casually.
Of course, as a mother, it's hard to accept that her son has fallen in love with a woman who is only a few years younger than her.
Gu Xin offered no comment on this, but interrupted Zhong Shi, asking, "Where is Butcher Liu now? And where are the deceased's legs?"
Zhong was interrupted, her ferocious expression still contorted, her gaze fixed on Du Sanniang: "I don't know. He buried Qiangzi and left, saying he was going to hide for a while and would come back when things calmed down."
Gu Xin said, "Then he definitely couldn't have left his head and arms at Qi'an Inn. He brought you instead, right?"
Madam Zhong turned to look at Gu Xin and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes, it was me. I just want to show this shameless slut how badly she has harmed my son, Qiangzi, whom I raised!"
The people around were speechless. Was it Boss Du who ruined the young man's life? It was you, his mother, who ruined it.
Gu Xin asked in a deep voice, "What about the leg?"
Zhong said, "Old Liu took it away. He did so so that no one could find his body intact."
Gu Xin then asked, "Which direction did he walk in? What clothes was he wearing? What did he use to support his legs?"
Zhong replied, "He packed it in a sack. His wife went home today, so he had to go home to tell her he was going to collect the pigs. As for whether he went back to change his clothes, I don't know."
Gu Xin looked at Zhong Shi and found that she was in a state of extreme madness.
