Chapter 44: Human Relations and Worldly Wisdom (Please Read)
Gao Guobing was suspicious, but he did not stop the old lady. Instead, he asked Gao Mingcheng beside him: "What happened to Gao Ren?"
Gao Mingcheng was silent for a few seconds. At this moment, he found that the villagers around him were all looking at him. Some of them had a playful look in their eyes, as if they were watching the fun.
Some people had disapproval in their eyes, and it was obvious that they didn't want Gao Mingcheng to reveal the fact that Gao Ren beat his wife to death.
There were also some people whose eyes were filled with worry. These people were the ones who were relatively close to Gao Ren's family.
The world is about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
But isn’t it true that a small village is not full of human relationships and worldly wisdom?
And the bond between them is deeper.
If you trace back the roots of the people in Gaojia Village, you will find that they all have the same ancestor. They have lived together for many years, generation after generation, and the ties between them are inextricable.
In the end, Gao Mingcheng did not mention Gao Ren beating his wife to death. He only said, "It's nothing. Uncle, do you smell the meat? The yellow muntjac meat must have been stewed a long time ago. Let's go back and eat it quickly!"
Gao Guobing looked at him deeply and stopped asking questions.
He also noticed the looks of the villagers and knew that there was probably something unspeakable among them.
At least, Gao Mingcheng couldn't say it to him in front of everyone.
Why?
This has to do with his identity, so when some words are spoken, the meaning changes.
Soon, the group arrived at Grandma Xi's house. Although it was relatively spacious, it could not accommodate too many people, so Gao Mingcheng stepped forward to drive away the villagers who had come to join in the fun.
"That's enough, there's nothing exciting to see! You all should go! Uncle and his friends are out here to do some work, and they're still hungry. After we eat, we'll be heading back to the county town."
Under his drive, those people who came to join in the fun finally left slowly.
"Uncle, it's hot outside, come in and sit down!" Gao Zhuang enthusiastically pulled Gao Guobing home. Gao Guobing looked around as he walked.
Since he was transferred to the county town eight years ago, he has rarely returned to Gaojia Village.
I still miss it when I come back occasionally.
Entering the main room, there was a big table in the middle, with four or five large bowls on it. There were two large bowls of yellow muntjac meat, a large bowl of rabbit meat, a large bowl of loofah soup and a plate of fried eggplant with peppers.
Grandma also came out from the kitchen and greeted Gao Guobing with a smile.
Gao Guobing immediately called out, "Auntie."
He also said some polite words like sorry for disturbing her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xi Niangniang asked Gao Guobing and the others to eat quickly and not to go hungry.
Gao Guobing hurriedly said, "Auntie, Gao Zhuang, you guys should sit down and eat too! Thank you for cooking so many dishes."
However, Xi Nainai and Gao Zhuang did not sit down. Xi Nainai said that she and Gao Zhuang had already eaten, and these were prepared for Gao Guobing and the others.
Gao Guobing had no choice but to sit down, and then called Xiao Song and Xiao Zhang to sit down.
The two men came to a stranger's home and behaved rather reservedly. They only sat down after hearing Gao Guobing's greeting. Their eyes were glowing green, and they were obviously greedy.
I'm already starving, and now there's so much meat in front of you, how can I not be greedy?
Gao Mingcheng was also hungry. After he sat down, he picked up a piece of yellow muntjac meat with chopsticks and gave it to Gao Guobing to taste.
"Uncle, try it. Grandma Xi's cooking skills are quite good. In addition to the yellow muntjac meat, there is also rabbit meat. This rabbit was caught by Gao Zhuang. He has recently learned how to catch rabbits and has caught five or six rabbits."
"Really? Gao Zhuang has grown up, not bad."
During the meal, the group ate and chatted at the same time. Xiao Song and Xiao Zhang were not completely silent. They occasionally joined in the jokes and gave compliments.
The atmosphere here is warm and cheerful, while the atmosphere over there is bleak.
As arrested tomb robbers, the father and his two sons were naturally not qualified to sit at the table to eat. The aroma of the meat made them drool.
In the end, it was the kindhearted grandmother who, knowing that they must be thirsty and hungry, made each of them a bowl of porridge and gave them some vegetables to go with the porridge.
The three men were not vicious people. They even thanked the grandmother and finished the big bowl of porridge.
After dinner, everyone didn't rush to leave, but took a short break. Xiao Song and Xiao Zhang went to the toilet separately to solve their physiological problems.
Gao Guobing called Gao Mingcheng aside and asked about Gao Ren again.
At this time, there were only the two of them, so Gao Mingcheng had no scruples and told them about Gao Ren beating his wife to death.
Gao Guobing frowned, obviously unhappy about this.
He has been handling cases for many years and has seen many men beating their wives, but only a few of them would beat their wives to death.
"What do his wife's family say? Are they willing to call the police?" Gao Guobing said seriously.
Gao Mingcheng sighed and said, "His wife's family is poor and she doesn't understand the law. After she got the money from Gao Ren, she never came again. She didn't take care of the two granddaughters either."
Gao Guobing had actually guessed this result.
If the deceased's family had any sense of justice, the case would have been reported to the police station long ago.
After listening to Gao Mingcheng's words, he still felt a little comforted. He stopped talking about Gao Ren and looked at Gao Mingcheng with appreciation. He said, "It's good that you understand the law. The law is a good thing. It can prevent you from making big mistakes and protect your own interests."
"Ming Cheng, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have really improved! You are only nineteen years old now. Do you want to continue studying in high school? If you do, I will think of a way for you."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng was actually a little moved, but... he didn't want to go back to high school.
Inside his young body is a mature soul from the afterlife. After being reborn, he tried his best not to show maturity or old age, but he also couldn't fully display the playfulness and rebelliousness that he should have when he was young.
He temporarily lives in his grandmother's house. Besides the fact that the conditions there are better, he also wants to keep a certain distance from the family members who are most familiar with him, so as to avoid being discovered if anything is wrong.
After thinking carefully, Gao Mingcheng first sincerely thanked Gao Guobing for his kindness, and then said: "Uncle, I am willing to keep learning as long as I live, but I have been out of school for two years, and it is difficult to pick up the knowledge I put down. Besides...Uncle, I am getting married, and I have to save money for my wife!"
At the end, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help laughing.
After his rebirth, although he was a little haphazard and did things without any rules, he was actually just waiting for these tomb robbers to be caught.
Now that the tomb robber has been successfully caught, the next thing he needs to do is to plan what he is going to do.
Gao Guobing was stunned. He never expected that Gao Mingcheng was going to get married.
Although people in the village get married early, Gao Guobing's two sons, one is in the army and the other is in high school, so they have nothing to do with marriage for the time being.
So when I heard that Gao Mingcheng was getting married, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
