Chapter 147 Let Ren Mingzhu Fate on Her Own
"Brother Gu, what happened?" Lin Shanshan heard a loud noise and came out of the savings bank. She saw Su Qingman lying in a pool of blood, her head crushed.
Gu Yiye quickly turned around, covered Lin Shanshan's eyes, hugged her in his arms, and coaxed her softly, "Be good, little wife, don't look, Su Qingman was hit and killed."
The night before her wedding, the Black and White Impermanence showed her Yang Wenqing's condition in the eighteenth level of hell, which was a hundred or a thousand times more miserable than Su Qingman's current situation, but she wasn't afraid at all.
However, since her man thinks she should be afraid, she might as well act coquettishly. They say that a woman who knows how to be coquettish has the best life.
Lin Shanshan lowered her voice, her body went limp, and she leaned into Gu Yiye's arms, saying in a muffled voice, "Soldier brother, I'm scared, let's go home quickly!"
Gu Yiye affectionately rubbed his little wife's head and said, "I knew my little wife would be scared. Close your eyes and I'll carry you to the car."
As for Su Qingman, let's wait for the police to arrive. The truck driver fled the scene of the accident, and now is not the time to move her body. Even if he could, Gu Yiye didn't want to get involved.
Gu Yiye carried his wife into the car in a princess carry, then got into the driver's seat. After driving for a while, he said, "Shanshan, you can open your eyes now. Don't be afraid, your man is here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Even ghosts wouldn't dare. Your righteousness can overcome these messy things."
Lin Shanshan praised at just the right moment: "Mmm. I feel safest when I'm with you."
Gu Yiye was very pleased, and his already wide smile almost reached the sky.
After a while, Gu Yiye said, "My dear wife, I think someone is deliberately trying to murder Su Qingman."
Lin Shanshan asked, "Wasn't the car accident an accident?"
Gu Yiye nodded: "Yes, unless the driver was drunk, it's impossible for him to hit someone and not stop. Su Qingman only had minor injuries when she fell. If the driver had stopped, she wouldn't have died."
Lin Shanshan asked, "Is it possible that the driver really did drink too much?"
Gu Yiye replied, "That's impossible. There are fewer people drinking during the day, and if he had drunk too much, he wouldn't have a clear target. I was not far from Su Qingman, and he didn't hit me. Even other pedestrians and trees were avoided by the driver."
Lin Shanshan, who hadn't heard Su Qingman's secret, asked, "Did she offend someone?"
Gu Yiye said, "It was probably arranged by Grandpa."
Lin Shanshan: "Huh?!"
Gu Yiye said, "Before Su Qingman died, she told me that my fourth uncle was gay. I suspect that Su Qingman used this secret to threaten my grandfather yesterday, which made him compromise and release Mingkun."
Lin Shanshan recalled a Douyin video she saw in the underworld, which showed that although homosexuality would not be understood and accepted by everyone in the future, people would be much more tolerant of homosexuality than they are now.
In the 1970s, homosexuality was a taboo subject.
Seeing that Lin Shanshan hadn't spoken for a while, Gu Yiye asked, "Little wife, are you scared by homosexuality?"
Lin Shanshan shook her head, pursed her lips and said, "No, in the future, homosexuality will not be a disease. In fact, a small number of people quite like shipping male-male couples. However, in the 70s, it was not understood."
“No wonder my fourth uncle rarely comes back. I think, besides work, it’s probably because he’s afraid to come back! He’s afraid that Grandpa will be sad if he sees him, and he’s also afraid that Grandpa won’t understand him and he’ll be sad. He’s even more afraid of causing trouble for the family.”
Gu Yiye said, "Okay, let's go back. Should we tell Grandpa that we know?"
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "No need, these days people are terrified of talking about homosexuality. If Grandpa doesn't say anything, let's just pretend we don't know."
Gu Yiye sighed and nodded; that was the only way.
When I got home, it was still before noon. Grandpa probably didn't go to the military base today because he was waiting for the results.
The two acted as if nothing had happened, simply telling the grandfather that the school address had been finalized and the rent had been paid.
Lin Shanshan asked, "Grandpa, do you have any construction teams you can recommend?"
Having dealt with Su Qingman, Ren Shiyou felt refreshed and energetic. In response to Lin Shanshan's question, he enthusiastically recommended a construction team composed of veterans and gave her their contact information.
"This captain is called Tan Yong. He used to be my company commander. He was injured and retired from the army. His team is full of veterans. He's reliable. You should look for him."
Lin Shanshan replied, "Thank you, Grandpa. We'll go find him. I trust the military."
Ren Shiyou nodded heartily.
Just then, the phone rang. Ren Shiyou seemed to sense something and answered the phone himself. The call lasted less than half a minute.
Ren Shiyou hung up the phone, pretending to be sad, and said, "Your fourth aunt died in an accident. She lost both her parents and had no siblings. Your fourth uncle is in Beijing and can't come back in time. I have to go and collect her body."
Gu Yiye said, "I'll go with Grandpa."
Ren Shiyou nodded: "That's fine. We still need to send a telegram to inform Ren Mingzhu to come back."
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan exchanged a glance but did not reveal that Mingkun was going to find Ren Mingzhu and sell her. Since Ren Mingzhu was not Fourth Uncle's daughter and had wicked intentions, they decided to let her fend for herself.
They are not saints, they cannot save all living beings!
