It's a good thing she couldn't do it; if she could, Gu Jingsheng's family would die a thousand or ten thousand times over!
Gu Lili originally thought that Gu Jingsheng would come back to bother them and settle scores with them in the future.
Unexpectedly, they fooled themselves.
That saves Gu Lili from having to deal with him again!
The village head nodded and said, "I'm just here to deliver a message. As for the outcome, I won't interfere!"
He wouldn't have been able to bring himself to say it if Gu Jingsheng hadn't kept begging him.
Honestly, I wouldn't have said that if it weren't for the fact that we grew up together.
The village head and Gu Jingsheng were about the same age and had been playing together since childhood.
When Gu Shanniang was still alive, everyone in the village praised her.
Ever since she married Gu Chuanniang, she's like a completely different person.
The book was right after all: marry a virtuous wife! The ancients were right!
"By the way, the plague is slowly getting better now, and your house should be ready to be built soon. When are you planning to build it?" The village head didn't continue the previous topic and instead asked Gu Lili when she was going to build the house.
Gu Lili looked at the two shacks, thought for a moment, and asked, "Grandpa Village Head, can I buy some wasteland and build a house again?"
Gu Lili now wants to build a room specifically for processing maltose, as their current living space is clearly insufficient.
If possible, Gu Lili also plans to plant some fruit trees around the house.
However, that's a matter for later; let's build the house first.
The village head pointed to the east end of the village and said, "No one has bought that wasteland over there yet, so you could build a house there. However, it's a bit far from the village!"
Gu Lili thought about it and realized that the east end of the village was actually not bad, as it was not far from the sea and the stream.
Wouldn't it be even more convenient to go beachcombing at night?
Gu Lili nodded and said, "I'll think about how to build the house and then come back to you to buy the land."
The village head's message was delivered, and he got up to go back.
Gu Lili quickly said, "Grandpa Village Head, please stay for a meal before you leave."
The village headman waved his hand repeatedly in refusal, "Next time! I'm leaving now. By the way, this iron rod of yours is quite useful. It's perfect for keeping thieves away by the bed." The village headman said, pointing to the iron rod.
"Yes, I bought it to keep out thieves. I was in such a hurry to get back this morning that I completely forgot about it. Thank you so much, Grandpa Village Head," Gu Lili said with a smile.
After seeing off the village head, Gu Lili continued cooking.
After visiting Gu Lili's house, the village head went to visit Gu Jingsheng's house.
As soon as they entered Gu Jingsheng's house, they saw Niu Cuihua squatting in the yard eating chicken droppings again, looking at the village head with a smile on her face.
The village head shook his head helplessly and walked into the main room of Gu Jingsheng's house.
"Gu Jingsheng, are you home?" the village head called out.
The village head could no longer utter the words "Brother Jingsheng."
Upon hearing the village head's voice, Gu Jingsheng quickly came out from the inner room.
From the beating of his grandson last night to the death of his son today, Gu Jingsheng was struck by a series of blows that made him seem to age decades in a single day, and his straight back bent over in an instant.
When the village head saw him like this, he felt that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Gu Jingsheng asked in a hoarse voice, "Village head, I wonder what Lili said!"
No wonder he was anxious; his wife fell ill as soon as she returned from the mountain, constantly muttering that Gu Shan had come to take their lives.
After considering the events that had occurred in his family recently, Gu Jingsheng concluded that the series of misfortunes must be his eldest son seeking revenge.
Since marrying Gu Chuanniang, Gu Jingsheng has rarely inquired about Gu Shan.
Especially after Gu Chuan came into her life, she treated him almost like he was invisible.
However, Gu Shan was a filial son who never complained about him and instead handed over his earnings to him.
Even if you go to the military camp, you still have to give the money to yourself.
He just couldn't understand how such a filial child could take revenge on them like this after he died.
Doesn't Gu Shan have any sense of family ties at all?
Li Xihua and Gu Shan are both filial people, so why did they give birth to Gu Lili, this rebellious child?
They were repeatedly beaten by the county magistrate.
Gu Jingsheng has never reflected on his mistakes. Even when he bowed his head to Gu Lili, it was only because he was afraid of dying.
“Lili said she can’t do it. If you ask me, you should just do good deeds and then you won’t be afraid of this or that!” Grandpa Village Head said irritably.
Upon hearing that Gu Lili had refused, Gu Jingsheng felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
He roared, "I'm their own father! How could that brat Gu Lili be so heartless!"
Upon hearing this, the village headman was instantly furious.
He thought Gu Jingsheng knew he was wrong, which was why he asked him for help.
I didn't expect him to be so unrepentant.
The village head left with the words "Take care of yourself" and went home in a huff.
Gu Jingsheng glared hatefully at the village head's retreating figure before turning back into the house.
"Oh dear, oh dear, old man, am I going to die?" Old Mrs. Gu groaned incessantly as she lay on the bed.
Ever since Gu Huanhuan glared at her that morning, Grandma Gu has been restless.
She always felt that Gu Huanhuan was possessed by Li Xihua's ghost.
When I close my eyes, I see the eyes of the tiger and Gu Huanhuan, their images constantly shifting in my mind.
It must be Gu Shan and Li Xihua, those two short-lived people, coming to claim my life.
Old Gu said irritably, "Die, die, die! It would be better if our whole family were wiped out!"
Gu Jingsheng was furious, Gu Shuwen was half-dead, and so was the old lady Gu.
Niu Cuihua is quite lively, but she either eats chicken droppings or clods of dirt in the yard.
What a filthy family!
Grandma Gu quickly got up and asked, "Old man, why do you say that? By the way, what did the village head say? Did that brat Gu Lili agree?"
She was terrified that Gu Lili would let the tiger come and kill her too.
She's now afraid to even go out, always feeling like there are eyes watching her from the shadows.
Gu Jingsheng said, "What kind of creatures did I raise! If I had known that Gu Shan would be so heartless towards family, I should have killed him when he was born, and none of this would have happened!"
Grandma Gu quickly covered Gu Jingsheng's mouth and looked around as if there was someone in the room.
"Old man, stop talking nonsense, or Gu Shan might come tonight!" Old Mrs. Gu said nervously.
Gu Jingsheng looked into her eyes, swallowed hard, glanced around, and finally fell silent.
"Giggle giggle"
Both of them were startled by the laughter coming from outside.
