Her confident and assertive words surprised everyone.
Dog Egg's family lowered their heads in shame.
She's right, Boss Yang died trying to save Gou Dan.
They can't repay it in their lifetime.
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, and a certain thought became increasingly firm in their hearts.
The captain's gaze fell on Grandpa and Grandma Gou Dan. He did not miss the death in the eyes of the old couple. The old couple were dressed in hemp clothes full of patches, like children who had stolen adults' clothes.
The courtyard was dilapidated; not even a bird landed on his house. One could see the living room directly opposite, with a table missing a leg and a chipped bowl, all of which spoke volumes about the family's poverty.
Suddenly, he felt a mix of emotions.
Yang Dacui's confident words filled my ears.
Old Yang's death was like a cross nailed to Gou Dan's body.
The captain took a deep breath, looked at the Yang family, and said coldly, "Gou Dan's debt of gratitude has been repaid. From now on, you are not allowed to use Yang Laoda's death to ask Gou Dan for any benefits."
As soon as he said this...
Not only the Yang family, but even those who had temporarily switched sides widened their eyes slightly.
Although they felt that Yang's mother's actions were excessive.
But Yang Laoda died because of Gou Dan.
The phrase "The debt of gratitude is settled"
Isn't that too hurtful?
Who will dare to save people in the future?
Yang's mother sneered, "Finished paying?"
She pushed away her daughter who was pulling her, walked up to Gou Dan, and said in a cold tone, "As long as he returns my eldest son, I will return all the money and food he has given me over the years."
Dog Egg tensed up.
His knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground.
Yang's mother had a ferocious expression on her face. "Give me back my eldest son. Didn't we agree to settle our debt? Give me back my eldest son."
She was like a little devil from hell, coercing Dog Egg's family.
The captain frowned.
"Zhong Qingqing, that's enough."
Yang's mother sneered, "Not enough, Yang Dongliang. It wasn't you who died, so you can easily say that you've paid off the debt. I'm a widow who has suffered so much raising my child all these years. How could I possibly pay off the debt?"
The captain frowned slightly.
This is a dead end.
He looked at Gou Dan helplessly. He had considered severing ties between Gou Dan and the Yang family and ceasing to support them.
But the fact that Yang Laoda died saving Gou Dan is undeniable. No matter how much you argue, Gou Dan still owes the Yang family his life.
He sighed softly.
Dog Egg closed his eyes.
Resigned, he lay prone on the ground.
Everyone present remained silent.
"How did Boss Yang die?"
A questioning voice rang out.
Lost in their memories, everyone looked up at the source of the sound.
"Qiao Wanyue, what do you mean?" A hint of guilt flashed in Yang's mother's eyes.
He cursed Qiao Wanyue hundreds of times in his heart.
Qiao Wanyue blinked. "It doesn't mean anything. I'm a new bride, and I'm just curious about how Boss Yang died."
She looked at Gou Dan.
"Since I saved your life, could you please answer my question?" A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Dog Egg froze instantly.
Those memories he had deliberately hidden were brought to light by a single sentence from Qiao Wanyue.
The villagers spoke out before Gou Dan: "My old man saw Yang Laoda die. It was Yang Laoda who desperately grabbed Gou Dan, which gave the villagers a chance to rescue Gou Dan. But when they tried to rescue Yang Laoda, he had already been swept away by the water."
The speaker was an elderly person from the village.
He was also a witness to the accident that year.
