In the dim light, Grandma Gu saw two pale bodies intertwined.
Gu Jingsheng was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't notice Old Madam Gu had entered.
Niu Cuihua lay on the bed, dazed and confused, letting Gu Jingsheng play with her.
Every now and then, she would let out a few moans of pleasure.
This greatly frightened Mrs. Gu, who was already living in fear these past few days.
She just couldn't understand how her husband could be such a person.
At that moment, her mind went blank, and she grabbed the broom next to the door and started hitting Gu Jingsheng.
Gu Jingsheng was hit on the head, which brought him back to his senses from the pleasure.
Looking up, Gu Jingsheng saw Old Madam Gu's face, which was green with anger, and he was instantly startled.
Niu Cuihua was also frightened by the broom and screamed, trying to get up and run away.
But Gu Jingsheng kept pressing down on him, and he couldn't get up no matter what.
"You old fool, are you trying to kill yourself?! I'm not quite dead yet! How could you do such a thing!" Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Niu Cuihua and Gu Jingsheng are not related by blood, this is still utterly absurd.
This is absolutely against the basic principles of morality!
Isn't Gu Jingsheng afraid that Gu Chuan will also come looking for trouble for him?
Gu Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, followed by anger at having his good deed interrupted.
He never expected that Old Mrs. Gu, who couldn't even get out of bed for dinner tonight, would be here at this moment.
Gu Jingsheng got up from Niu Cuihua and stormed towards Old Madam Gu.
"You old hag! It's all your fault! If it weren't for your terrible idea to chase those four bastards away, would I be worrying about who will take care of me when I'm old?" Gu Jingsheng said angrily.
Old Mrs. Gu had never seen Gu Jingsheng like this before; she felt as if he were possessed by a vengeful ghost.
His eyes were fixed on me.
He even suspected that Gu Jingsheng might actually be possessed by Gu Chuan.
As Gu Jingsheng approached her step by step, Old Madam Gu mustered all her strength and ran away.
The speed at which they fled for their lives was nothing like someone who hadn't eaten for days.
Gu Jingsheng wanted to chase after Old Madam Gu again, intending to beat her up.
Unexpectedly, Niu Cuihua, who was frightened by Old Mrs. Gu, jumped off the bed and hugged Gu Jingsheng tightly.
Feeling the soft touch on his body, Gu Jingsheng decided to deal with Old Madam Gu after he was done.
(Gu Jingsheng was probably around forty-five or forty-six years old. Because people in ancient times married young, they became grandfathers early.)
The ambiguous sounds from before continued to echo from Niu Cuihua's room.
Gu Shuwen continued to stare indifferently at the doorway, as if the events outside were no longer of any concern to him.
When Gu Jingsheng finished and returned to his room, he found that Old Madam Gu had hanged herself from the roof beam.
This terrified Gu Jingsheng.
He quickly ran over, put Grandma Gu down, and carried her to the bed.
When Gu Jingsheng reached for Old Madam Gu's breath, his hand instantly turned ice-cold; Old Madam Gu was no longer breathing.
Although he had mentally estimated that his old woman might not live much longer.
But I never imagined she would die in this way.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground instantly, not knowing what to do.
When there is a funeral in the village, the neighbors usually help each other out.
However, because of Gu Lili and her brother's situation, almost everyone in the village ignored him.
He left the house in a daze and unknowingly arrived at the door of the village head's house.
At this moment, he was completely lost and the only thing he could think of was asking the village head for help.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the village head's house.
Who is it?
After a long while, the village head's voice finally came from inside the house.
Gu Jingsheng quickly squeezed out a few tears and cried out, "It's me! Gu Jingsheng, village head, something's happened to my family, something's happened!"
......
The next day, while Gu Lili was making breakfast, she saw Gu Sigou rush in in a hurry.
"Sister, Grandma, oh... no, Old Madam Gu is dead!" Gu Sigou said breathlessly.
This morning, Gu Sigou went out to pick wild vegetables and happened to run into Tie Dan's mother going to the field.
Tie Dan's family and Gu Jingsheng's family lived close by, so he knew about this situation.
Seeing Gu Sigou, I casually mentioned that they used to be family.
Gu Lili was stunned when she heard the news.
Wasn't this old lady Gu lively and energetic on the mountain just a few days ago?
How could he have died so suddenly?
However, this has nothing to do with me.
Gu Lili didn't reply and continued cooking.
She wasn't the real Gu Lili, so the passing of Old Madam Gu didn't stir any emotion in her heart.
On the contrary, I felt somewhat relieved!
Gu Erniu, who had just returned from outside, overheard everything. He simply poured the water he had just brought back into the water vat without any expression.
Gu Sigou felt that he might have said something wrong, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
“That old hag should have died long ago! She treated Mother like that, she should have been punished by God long ago!” Gu Huanhuan’s voice came from the shack.
The four siblings suffered so much indignation and torment at the hands of Old Mrs. Gu.
At this moment, Gu Huanhuan also felt extremely relieved.
Gu Sigou hurriedly replied, "Third Sister is right, that old lady is wicked!"
Gu Sigou is still young and doesn't quite understand these principles.
However, he can also distinguish between good and bad.
The four siblings tacitly avoided mentioning the matter again, and after finishing their meal, they went back to their respective work.
The Gu family didn't have much money left because they were busy supporting Gu Shuwen's education.
Therefore, the funeral for Old Mrs. Gu was held hastily.
Gu Jingsheng didn't even make her a coffin; he simply wrapped her in a straw mat and buried her.
Three days passed quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.
Gu Huanhuan's foot is almost fully healed.
Today was the day to dig the foundation for the house, and the uncles and elders from the village arrived early.
In the past few days, the brick and tile deliverymen have been bringing their goods over one after another.
On the first day of speaking, one should wish for good fortune.
Gu Lili had prepared a pot of sweet tea early on, and after the uncles and elders finished drinking it, they started working.
After the four siblings ate breakfast, they started making candy.
Gu Lili plans to open up markets in nearby towns this time, so she soaked and sprouted all the wheat she bought last time.
The four siblings had a lot of work to do today.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou were not strong, so they were in charge of starting the fire.
Since there were two pots, it was just enough for two people to start the fire.
Gu Lili and Gu Sigou each took charge of a pot.
The group worked busily until almost dark before finally finishing the syrup.
