"Second brother, how is mom? Why did you bring the police to our house? What happened?" Gu Chunhui still had the wooden spoon in his hand. The porridge on the spoon dripped onto the ground bit by bit, but he didn't notice anything at all, nor did he notice that there was anything wrong with his wife sitting behind him.
"How is Mom? You, her son, actually still care about her." There was disappointment in Gu Xiashi's eyes. He had absolutely no thoughts about this elder brother anymore.
"I, I..." Gu Chunhui's face turned purple, and he was speechless for a moment as he looked at his brother's cold expression.
"Because your sister-in-law and nephew were not feeling well, I originally wanted to go to the hospital to see mom after making lunch for them, I..."
"Mom survived a great disaster and will be blessed in the future. She has me as her son and two daughters, Qiuju and Dongmei, which is enough for her. As for you, the good husband and the good father, leave it to those two ungrateful people in your family. Mom didn't wait for you when she was on the verge of life and death. Now that she has been rescued, she doesn't need you anymore."
There was no disappointment in Gu Xiashi's eyes when he looked at Gu Chunhui. After all, without hope, how could he feel heartbroken?
"I didn't know mom's illness was so serious. I, I..." Gu Chunhui looked at his brother's insistence, the corners of his mouth twitched, but his explanation seemed shallow and powerless.
She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. It was not a minor illness at all. Gu Chunhui just took a chance and chose his wife over his mother.
"What gives you the right to say that we were the ones who killed Mom? Dakin and I stayed at home the entire day and never went out from beginning to end. Your elder brother can testify for us." Niu Fang planned to take the initiative and warned herself not to reveal her tracks. She said angrily.
Gu Chunhui, whose name was called, had a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After all, Niu Fang and her son had indeed gone out in the morning. However, he did not believe that they would harm his mother, especially Dakin. He was her biological grandson, so how could he harm his own grandmother?
Gu Chunhui ignored the uncertainty in his heart, nodded, and asked his second brother with a suspicious look on his face: "Your sister-in-law and her family didn't go out today. How could Mom's affairs be related to them? Although your sister-in-law doesn't get along well with Mom, she is not someone who would do such a thing."
Gu Chunhui didn't believe that the person next to him and his own flesh and blood would be such a heartless person, so he spoke with full confidence.
"Don't be so hasty, uncle. No, Gu Chunhui, you haven't gotten rid of the suspicion yet. Who knows if you three did all this together? Your promise is useless."
Jiang Yilu had wanted to swear a long time ago. His uncle in the previous life finally saw the true face of the mother and son after his grandmother died. But what was the use? He would never forget how, after his grandmother became paralyzed in bed, he shamelessly came to beg her to let Niu Fang go and not let his son be tarnished with this stain.
Just based on what he did, it was enough for Jiang Yilu to stop considering him as his uncle.
"What are you talking about? Would I harm your mother?" Gu Chunhui widened his eyes, looking at his nephew with an expression full of disbelief. Although this college student nephew, who made the family proud, had always been indifferent to him, his uncle, he had never expressed his dissatisfaction so obviously.
"You are Niu Fang, right? The case owner, Zhao Hong, reported to us that you were trying to steal property, but she caught you in the act, so she deliberately killed you to silence you."
The police didn't pay attention to these minor family disputes. They walked up to Niu Fang, put on a stern face, and said in a businesslike manner: "I am arresting you for theft, murder and other crimes. If you have anything to say, go back to the police station and talk."
The leading policeman took out handcuffs and was about to handcuff Niu Fang.
"I didn't do that. The old lady got hurt and her mind is confused. Maybe she has long been jealous of me, and Gu Xiashi, and that wicked Gu Dongmei. They all dislike me and teamed up with that damn old woman to deliberately frame me. She said I pushed her, but where is the evidence? Who can prove that what she said is true?"
Niu Fang struggled desperately, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that he was right. He glared at Gu Xiashi and the others and said, "If you have the guts, find someone to find who saw me leave this room today." After saying that, he sat down on the ground and said, "So what if they are the police? They are so great. If you dare to arrest people at will, I will sue you in the higher authorities when I get out. I will sue you for oppressing ordinary people. I will not stop until you lose your jobs."
Niu Fang simply fell to the ground and threw a tantrum. She would never let herself and her son go to the police station. According to her thinking, she and her son were going to the old house to steal things, so they were very careful on the way and avoided all the villagers. Except for her husband Gu Chunhui, no one knew that they had gone out in the morning. As long as she denied it, no one could arrest her and put her in jail.
Niu Fang had a good idea. After all, the old lady really hadn't woken up yet. All this was just a trick played by the police on her.
The leading police officer frowned, looked at the woman who was making a scene, and gave Jiang Yilu a subtle look to express his embarrassment.
No one knew where this well-mannered young man opposite had come from, but he actually had the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau personally order them to cooperate with his actions.
Jiang Yilu had been watching Niu Fang's actions with cold eyes, and out of the corner of his eye he was always paying attention to Gu Dakin, who was standing beside him with his face almost pale with fear and his body stiff.
"You want evidence? Fine, I'll give it to you--" Jiang Yilu sneered, and several women from Daqian Village came out from behind, rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Niu Fang.
"What are you doing? Do you want to hit someone?" Niu Fang didn't bother to throw a tantrum anymore and turned around and ran away.
The people hired by Jiang Yilu were all paid. Three middle-aged and strong women surrounded Niu Fang and stripped off her coat. The others rushed into Niu Fang and Gu Dakin's room and began to rummage through the drawers.
"My goodness, hiding so much money on your body." Before these women came, they all heard Gu Xiashi's explanation of the cause and effect of the incident. Naturally, they were ruthless when dealing with Niu Fang. They were all going to be mothers-in-law, and what they hated the most was naturally a vicious daughter-in-law like Niu Fang. Not only did she steal money, but she also wanted to kill people. She was simply a vicious woman. Gu Chunhui was really blind. He didn't want such a good mother, but was fooled by this woman. I don't know what he was thinking.
Gu Chunhui, who did nothing, was now completely hated by the villagers because of his stupidity.
Niu Fang had no mood to hide her belongings after returning from Gu's old house. Moreover, she felt that it was safest to hide her belongings on her body. If she kept them at home, Gu Chunhui would inevitably find them and arouse suspicion. She originally planned to wait for the storm to pass, take the money back to her mother's house and let her mother hide it for a while. When the old lady died, she would take out the money. Even if the old lady didn't die, she could deny the matter. After all, a thief takes the dirty stuff. Without the money and gold jewelry, the old lady would have no evidence to sue her.
What's more, in Niu Fang's secret heart, the old lady would not sue them. After all, Dajin was the only grandson of the Gu family. How could the old lady bear to see Dajin go to jail?
Now that all the money hidden in her clothes had been taken out by those women, Niu Fang's heart sank immediately. However, if she pleaded guilty easily, she would no longer be the same Niu Fang.
"Robbery, a bunch of bitches and scoundrels. Aren't you police officers? You've been given this skin in vain, you sons of a bitch, just watching this group of lunatics rob my family's money. I'm going to sue you, I'm going to sue you." Niu Fang's voice was so sharp that it broke, especially those vulgar words, which made the police officers present couldn't help but frown.
"Your money--" Jiang Yilu walked closer to Niu Fang, squatted down, and picked up the thick stack of brand new banknotes beside her.
This stack of brand new ten-yuan bills was some of the cash he had just withdrawn from the bank before coming to his hometown. The bills had just been printed and put on the market, and all the numbers were consecutive. As long as he took out the money he gave to Old Lady Miao and paired them together, he would know who gave the money.
Jiang Yiliu raised his eyebrows, picked up one of the gold bracelets and a pair of gold earrings, and said to Gu Chunhui, who had been stunned, with a sneer: "Could this also be your wife's dowry, huh? Gu-Chun-Hui--"
Jiang Yiluo said word by word that this gold bracelet and gold earrings were Zhao Hong's dowry when she was young, and were the only memories her mother left her. No matter how hard life was back then, the old lady was reluctant to pawn these things. Later, Gu Chunhui reached the age to get married, but there were four children in the family and only a widowed mother, so the family could not afford the bride price.
Looking at her depressed son, Zhao Hong finally gritted her teeth and pawned the two items. The children in the family all knew how much these items meant to the old lady. Later, it was Gu Xia Shi who searched for a long time before finally finding the gold jewelry that had passed through several buyers. On the old lady's birthday, the items were returned to the original owner and into the old lady's hands. That day, the old lady cried and laughed, and everyone saw how happy she was.
No one would believe that such an important thing was given by the old lady to Niu Fang, the unpleasant daughter-in-law.
"You--" Gu Chunhui took a few steps back, looking at his wife in disbelief, and his son who was avoiding his gaze. All of a sudden, his heart sank.
"And the most important point is, the police didn't seem to say that grandma hit her head, right? How do you know so clearly?" Jiang Yilu approached Niu Fang who was lying on the ground, "That's because you were at the scene, because the person who pushed grandma was you."
There was a flash of murderous intent in Jiang Yilu's eyes. Under such an oppressive gaze, Niu Fang's psychological defenses collapsed instantly. His face turned pale and he lost the will to argue.
"These are all evidences. I trouble the public security comrades to solve the case as soon as possible and give justice to the victim." Jiang Yilu stood up and looked at Niu Fang and the other two as if they were ants. This matter would not end here. He had not let them taste the despair that their grandmother felt in her previous life when she picked up the bottle of pesticide and drank it all. How could just letting them go to jail be enough?
The leading policeman took the serial numbered banknotes, gold jewelry and other loose change handed to him by Jiang Yilu, nodded, and asked the men behind him to handcuff Niu Fang, the main suspect.
"Those two are also suspects. Take them to the police station for questioning." Gu Dakin and Gu Chunhui were not let off either, especially Gu Chunhui. He had just tried to cover up Niu Fang's criminal behavior in front of all the police officers, which was also a serious crime.
Gu Dakin had his hands handcuffed and burst into tears out of fear. Gu Chunhui remained dazed the entire time, and only showed some reaction when he walked to his brother's side.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Gu Chunhui felt heavy in his chest. He didn't expect that his wife and his son would actually do such a thing to his mother for money.
"You don't know--" Gu Xiashi suddenly jumped up, rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and hit Gu Chunhui's stomach, chest, and face hard again and again, for dozens of times, until he was out of strength and Gu Chunhui's face was covered with bruises, and then he gradually stopped.
At Jiang Yilu's signal, the leading police officer did not let the other police officers step forward to stop it. He just watched Gu Xiashi beating the boy unilaterally. In fact, they also disliked such a cowardly and unfilial son, but Gu Xiashi's beating made everyone feel better.
When Gu Xiashi was beating Gu Chunhui, Niu Fang and Gu Dakin both hid in a corner, fearing that Gu Xiashi would see them and they would be beaten up.
"I gave you this beating on behalf of my mother. From now on, our Gu family doesn't have a big brother like you, and my mother doesn't have a son like you. You should go to prison and stay with your wife and children."
Gu Xiashi had made up his mind that after his mother transferred to the capital, they would live there and not come back. His nephews and nieces were all there anyway, and he had money. There was nothing here that made him miss the place, and he could live a better life away from those people.
"Shitou, Shitou, I am your elder brother." Gu Chunhui's face was bruised and purple, and he kept repeating this sentence when he was taken away by the police.
