Chapter 375: Playing Trouble
The village chief suddenly spoke up, startling Li Pandi. But she answered honestly, "It's Jiayue's aunt. My family's family and her husband's family happen to be in the same village. I happened to run into her on my way back from my family's, and she pulled me aside to talk for a while."
The village chief frowned, somewhat unconvinced. "That's impossible! She's Jiayue's elder sister-in-law. How could she possibly gossip about her own family?"
"I thought so too, so I assumed that whatever he said must be true. Then, every day I passed by your new house and saw that the Gu family had hired so many servants, I felt very unbalanced, and that's why I said things I shouldn't have!"
Speaking of which, Li Pandi hated Gu Dongxue very much in her heart.
Not only did you gossip about your own family, but you also didn't guarantee the truth! You ended up hurting her badly!
Humph, just wait and see. Once her injuries are better, she will definitely go to her house and make a scene to vent her hatred.
The village chief and Duan Meihua exchanged a glance. Now that things had come to this, it was impossible for Li Pandi to lie.
But he really couldn't understand why Gu Dongxue did this?
Duan Meihua thought for a moment, then looked at the village chief and said, "Don't they still have to apologize to the Gu family? Go with them and tell Jiayue about this. I have a feeling that things are not that simple."
In fact, she knew more about Gu Dongxue and the Gu family than the village chief. There seemed to be some conflict during the last move, and the two families haven't interacted much since then. Gu Dongxue probably still holds a grudge against the Gu family for not helping her husband's family, right?
The village chief nodded. "Okay." She also felt it necessary to inform the Gu family about this matter.
"Let's go?" He turned and looked at Li Pandi.
Li Pandi looked at Chen Biantan. She could be aggressive and verbally abusive with Duan Meihua, but when she thought about facing Gu Jiayue, a delicate and weak girl who had done a few good things for them, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
Chen Biantan patted her shoulder soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you. Jiayue is very reasonable, just tell her the truth when the time comes."
The Gu family naturally knew about the fight between Duan Meihua and Li Pandi yesterday, and they also heard the reason for the fight.
When she first heard about it, grandma looked at Gu Yuchuan with some resentment.
She said he shouldn't be too high-profile and that he could just secretly find a few people to do the farm work. But he found hundreds of them at once and brought them home for her to choose.
It's like deliberately letting others know.
Gu Yuchuan lowered his head and read the book, very focused.
Grandma had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Oh, forget it, it’s already happened and there’s no point in saying more.
"I heard that the village chief asked Li Pandi to come to our house and apologize to our family. What should we do then?" Li was a little undecided.
"What should we do? Of course we should tear her mouth apart." The aunt rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out to beat someone.
This year, Su Mei has been cultivating herself and making the villagers forget that she is the boss of Taohua Village, right?
"Okay, since the village chief has already solved it, let's give him some face. Let's see if Mrs. Li will come and apologize tomorrow!" Grandma glared at her aunt.
She is already a grandmother but still so impulsive.
I've said it so many times, times have changed. The Gu family's status is different now, and they can't just argue and fight with others as they did before. It's disgraceful!
Since grandma didn't allow it, the Gu family could only swallow their resentment and wait for Li Pandi to come to their house.
When the village chief brought people to the door, the Gu family was mentally prepared to make things difficult for them.
But after Li Pandi explained the whole story, everyone in the Gu family looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Li Pandi! You can't just make up nonsense to wash away your sins!" Although the aunt disliked Gu Dongxue, she was still her sister-in-law after all. She felt that no matter what, she would never do such a thing.
Li Pandi swore an oath. "If I tell a lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"What a devil!" Grandma covered her chest and stepped back repeatedly. Gu Jiayue, who was standing next to her, quickly helped her sit on the chair.
"Although I was also wrong in this matter, it was Gu Dongxue who misled me. If she hadn't told me that, I wouldn't have dared to say it in front of so many people." Li Pandi defended.
Grandma caught her breath and pointed at her uncle, saying, "Go, find that evil creature for me. I want to ask her how my Gu family has wronged her! She would treat her own parents and her niece like this!"
The uncle was also very angry. After receiving instructions from his mother, he got up and went to harness the ox cart to go to Gu Dongxue's husband's home.
Gu Yuchuan and Gu Jiayue looked at each other.
The last time she did something, because there was no evidence, Gu Jiayue discussed it with her family and let her go.
Unexpectedly, she still had such evil intentions and would come out to make trouble whenever she got the chance. Gu Jiayue felt that such relatives were better off not having them.
"Was there a third person present when you two were chatting?" Gu Jiayue asked.
Li Pandi tried to recall for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I ran into her on the road just as I was leaving the village. It was almost dusk, and everyone was at home cooking. No one was out on the road."
"Yes, isn't she cooking? She was still wandering around on the street at that time." She hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. She had forgotten the time because of chatting with her brother. So what was Gu Dongxue doing on the street at that time?
The village chief glanced at Li Panddi. This silly woman hadn't figured out that someone was waiting for her there.
Gu Jiayue exchanged glances with Gu Yuchuan again.
They also thought that it was probably the eldest aunt who deliberately blocked Li Pandi on the road.
After all, who in the surrounding villages didn't know Li Pandi's character? Any gossip or news, once it passed through his mouth, would be known to everyone within three days!
So how could such a coincidence happen? Li Pandi, who hadn't been home for a long time, just happened to run into Gu Dongxue? And at the most inappropriate time.
The two smartest people in the Gu family had already thought a lot about it. Only then did the uncle harness the ox cart.
It would take three hours to go from here to Gu Dongxue's husband's house by ox cart.
They couldn't let everyone wait here for such a long time. They also didn't want to see Li Pandi.
The village chief saw the mood of the Gu family. Although he was not only the village chief but also the patriarch of the Gu family, he did not want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Gu family.
"If you believe everything someone tells you, it's your own fault for being clueless. You're also at fault, so why don't you apologize!"
Apologies are like that, the first time is raw, the second time is familiar. Besides, the Gu family is only mad at Gu Dongxue right now. Although they still dislike her, her attitude is much better than Duan Meihua's.
So Li Pandi apologized quickly and sincerely.
After hearing her repeat the same words three times, grandma impatiently drove her away.
It was almost dark, and the uncle from the Gu family who went to pick someone up had not returned yet.
Grandma stood anxiously at the door. "It shouldn't be like this. At the speed of the oxcart, it should be back by now!"
My aunt was also a little worried. "That's right, oh, I'm really worried. I'll go to the village entrance to check!" After saying that, she went out.
Grandma didn't stop him. Instead, she turned around and said to Gu Yushan who was walking out of the house, "Yushan, it's getting dark. Accompany your mother to the village entrance. If you don't see anyone within half an hour, come back. We will discuss this together."
