Chapter 899 902. Thoughts
Gu Yuanjin snorted coldly, "It's been several hours since we came here, it's time to rest.
And I don't believe she can sit still when the front yard is so noisy.
I asked you to watch her before so that she wouldn't cause any trouble, not to ask her to avoid me."
If he doesn't take care of his mother's funeral, how can he continue to live in Stone Village?
Gu Yuanhuo is a really unreliable guy. If Chuncao gets a bad reputation, it will have a big impact on her future.
Gu Yuanhuo also felt that he had done something stupid, "Then I will call them out right away.
After saying that, he prepared to walk towards the backyard.
"Don't go to the backyard," Gu Yuanshui grabbed him, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to go check it out."
Just as they were sitting here discussing how to deal with the funeral next, screams suddenly came from the backyard.
Everyone stood up and ran towards the backyard at the same time.
Gu Yuanhuo never imagined that his eldest niece, who had just been talking to him, had hanged herself.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time, and his eyes were red.
"Why is this girl doing this?" The Shi family members sighed. Everyone knew that this family had never been at peace, and Li Chuncao's life was really hard, but they didn't expect that she would go down this path.
Gu Yuanhuo squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and slapped his head. If he had been with the child just now, would she not have committed suicide?
Thinking of what he had said to his niece before, he secretly hated himself. If he had been more careful, would he have noticed what this girl was thinking?
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and Gu Yuanhuo kept hammering.
Gu Yuanjin was displeased, grabbed his hand and shouted, "Don't make trouble for me now."
Everyone was already upset enough, and when the third brother acted like this again, he really wanted to kick him.
Gu Yuan's eyes were red, he looked up at his eldest brother and said, "I should have listened to my eldest brother and looked at her just now.
No wonder she said some inexplicable things to me before, asking me to take care of Chunya more in the future, she didn't want to live any longer."
Gu Yuanshui grabbed him and said, "What's the point of saying this now? She has already made up her mind to die. If you can guard her for the first day, you can also guard her for the fifteenth day."
No matter how anyone feels, another life has been lost and everyone can only grit their teeth and continue to deal with it.
The Gu brothers stayed here for two full days before they managed to handle all the funeral arrangements.
Shi Dayong and his two sons, who were working in the county government, spent their days in prison like hell.
They knew clearly that they had not harmed Gu Yuanfeng's life, but what they feared most was that the Gu family would use their power to find the county magistrate and directly convict them.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Shi Laicai leaned against the wall and asked in a low voice.
Shi Dayong, "This is a great opportunity for the three of us, father and son. Listen carefully, both of you. It was your mother who didn't call a doctor because she felt guilty towards her father-in-law and wanted to atone for her sins by inflicting physical pain.
This is your mother's filial piety. We have tried to persuade her to no avail these days. We wanted to secretly ask a doctor, but we didn't expect that her body would not be able to bear it. "
Shi Laiyun poured cold water on him, "The Gu family won't believe it."
Shi Dayong looked at him and said, "If you want to get out of here safely, just listen to me.
Besides, once the case is brought to court, it will not be a matter of whether the Gu family believes it or not, but whether the local people believe it or not.
Your mother didn't mean to kill your grandfather, and she feels guilty about it. She wants to die to atone for her sin. This must be done no matter what. You all must remember this."
The Shi brothers only stayed there for one night before they were eager to get out. The place was crawling with rats and mosquitoes at night. If they were really locked up for a few years, they would collapse.
"Don't you find it strange? Why are the three of us locked up in the same prison?" Shi Dayong sneered, "I've had a few drinks with their captain before, and I know a lot about the inside story of this prison.
We are not detained separately, which gives us the opportunity to collude with others. As long as we stick to our guns, the Gu family will not be able to find evidence even if they want to cause trouble."
Moreover, as long as this matter is confirmed, the reputation of their Shi family will be restored. Although Gu Yuanfeng did something wrong, he was at least very affectionate and filial, and even lost his life for it.
Shi Laiyun remained silent. Even though he felt sorry for Gu Yuanfeng in his heart, he had to make a living in the future and he couldn't offend his father and brother. If he could repair his relationship with the Gu family, he would definitely listen to his uncles in the future and not be as chaotic as before.
Shi Dayong continued to talk on for a long time and asked the two brothers to say what he said until he was satisfied, and then he closed his eyes to rest.
Jin Qianqian received news about the situation at the county government on the same day.
She shook her head. It seemed that some people really wanted to die. They were willing to offend others just to please their superiors. She really hoped that he would not regret his choice in the future.
He immediately picked up his pen to write a letter home to the capital, and asked someone to keep an eye on the county government office.

Hua Shunming and Hua Zhang sat in the imperial study, looking at the account book, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
It's only been a few days, and millions of taels of silver have entered the national treasury?
The viewing fees alone amount to two or three hundred thousand, and the rest is the income from the sale of treasures.
"I didn't expect that the people of our Rong Dynasty are so wealthy." Hua Shunming felt for the first time that he was a very successful emperor. Look at these people who live and work in peace and contentment, with plenty of money in their hands. It was a sign of a truly prosperous era.
"I didn't expect that ordinary people would buy so many more treasures than the officials and nobles in the court." Hua Zhang also found it incredible.
Gu Wenheng stood aside and broke the fantasy of the father and son, "Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, although this records the common people of Shangjing, there are also many wealthy businessmen and traveling merchants.
Ordinary people would at most come here to see the treasures, as this thing is beyond their reach."
Hua Shunming, "..." These words "honest advice hurts the ear" are so annoying.
My originally good mood fell to the ground in an instant.
Hua Zhang cleared his throat and said, "Even so, it's already pretty good. Not only did I not have to lower the price of the treasures I sold, but I actually made a small profit.
At this rate, it won’t take long before all the treasures in the warehouses are sold out.”
When he thought of this, Hua Zhang felt a little uncomfortable. "My dear Gu, please don't replenish the treasures too quickly. If this continues, the treasure exhibition will not be able to continue for a few days."
Gu Wenheng, "..."
Hua Shunming also felt that what the emperor said this time made sense. "I also think that you replenished the stock too promptly. You can replenish it after the exhibition every day."
Gu Wenheng, "...people all come here for the treasures. If there are only a few of them, everyone will be disappointed."
The Hua family father and son, "..." How can we let our subjects down? This won't do.
At this moment, Hua Shunming did not feel at all that the treasures in his private vault were piled up like a mountain. Instead, he felt that he had not hoarded enough in the early years.
