Chapter 188 Chaos
Gu Xixi looked around, her eyes calm, yet intimidating without being angry.
"That means Master Gu has made a false accusation, and you have given false testimony. At the very least, you will be caned and have to apologize to me in person. At the worst, you will... go to jail together."
"They are all relatives anyway, so it's convenient for people outside to take turns delivering prison food."
The expressions of the Gu family's relatives all changed, and they glanced at others to see their reactions.
At this time, the village chief Lao Qian and his wife Aunt Qian also rushed to the scene.
The villagers consciously made way for the village chief and his wife to stand in the best position in front so that they could uphold justice.
Old Qian first glared at Gu Youfu and others, then nodded at Gu Xixi, motioning her to continue.
Gu Xixi said, "Have you all thought about it? Whoever wants to be a witness, please stand up."
After waiting for a while, there was complete silence from the other side.
Even wherever Gu Xixi's sight reached, some people dodged and lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
Gu Xixi's momentum is growing stronger and stronger.
A hired worker who was watching over Master Gu shouted, "Did you hear what our boss said? Go and sue him, now!"
"It's a pity. The old man is too careful about his life. We saw him rolling on the ground for several times, his clothes and hair were messed up, but no one touched him."
Another hired worker raised the hoe in his hand and responded with a smile, "What a pity! Why didn't the old man pick up a stone and hit himself hard on the forehead just now?"
"Why didn't you discuss this in advance when you came here to blackmail people?"
Master Gu was still lying on the ground, the moisture from the soil seeping into his clothes. He was old and frail and could not bear it, so he had to get up several times.
But the two hired workers crossed their hoe handles and placed them above Master Gu, preventing him from getting up.
One of the hired workers smiled and said, "Old man, if you are tired, just lie down for a while, otherwise it will be unsafe for you to get up. If you get hurt by accident, you will blame us again."
Mr. Gu glared angrily, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.
Mr. Gu's son and daughter-in-law were standing nearby and didn't dare to step forward to take the person away. It would also be inappropriate for them to just leave their own father behind and go back.
They could only turn around and look to Gu Youfu for help.
Gu Youfu's face turned ugly and he could no longer pretend to be friendly and a good person.
He scolded impatiently, "Look, look, what are you looking at me for? You were shouting and yelling when you went out just now, but now that the moment has come, you are all more cowardly than the other. You can't even say a word after hearing ten words from others!"
Several people from Master Gu's family were also unhappy, "Brother, you didn't tell us just now that if this matter gets out of hand, you will go to jail!"
He Jinglan pointed at the opposite side and shouted, "Did everyone hear that? They are in the same group and discussed it in advance!"
Aunt Zhang spat, "Bah! How shameless! You still dare to say it's not intentional blackmail!"
The onlookers were in an uproar.
In everyone's mind, it is now clear what is right and what is wrong.
Old Qian, with a sullen face, was about to make the final judgment.
Seeing this, Master Gu became anxious. He had worked so hard to create such a scene and had finally invited so many people to strengthen the momentum. How could he just let it go like this?
Besides, it was fine for other people, but his family was the only one that suffered such a huge reduction in wheat production.
He was unwilling to get nothing, and if he was accused of blackmail, he would be ridiculed by the villagers in the future.
Master Gu struggled and yelled, "Why are you still standing there? Are you so easily fooled by a little girl?"
"Don't you all want her secret recipe for growing crops?"
"I'm an old man, rushing in front to pave the way for all of you, but at the last moment, you didn't dare to take action!"
Gu Youfu rolled his eyes, made up his mind, and said sinisterly, "It is said that laws cannot control everyone. We have more people, so why should we be afraid of her having fewer people?"
"Since it's already like this, why don't we all work together to force her to hand over the secret recipe!!"
The greed of the Gu family's relatives was completely activated. They clenched their weapons tightly, with fierce eyes.
"Youfu is right, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"
"That's right. After all, it's a conflict within our Gu family. Even if we get caught by the government, we'll just be locked up for a few days at most. It's worth it!"
"She's holding on to the secret recipe and won't let go. She doesn't even consider us as her own family. We don't have to be polite to this girl!"
"Yes, don't blame us for being unjust if she is unkind. Let's all attack together and destroy all her wheat!"
Everyone in the Gu family rushed over roaring, their eyes burning with greed.
No matter how angry Lao Qian tried to stop him, no one would listen to him at this moment.
The situation, which had been stable, took a sharp turn for the worse again.
He Jinglan stamped her feet anxiously, "These people are crazy, they all speak in high-sounding terms, but in reality, they are no different from robbers!"
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Xixi across the crowd, and Gu Xixi shook her head firmly at him.
If Mu Nanzhao drew his sword at this moment, it would not be as simple as just cutting off someone's arm.
The chess game in the world is about to undergo major changes, and as one of the players, Mu Nanzhao must not cause bloodshed at this moment.
Gu Xixi stared at the people coming at her aggressively, and pushed Shi Tou and He Jinglan to An Qinghe one by one.
"You three are outsiders, they won't attack you rashly. Keep an eye on them for me to prevent them from getting hurt by mistake."
Aunt Zhang stood beside Gu Xixi and handed her a shovel.
Gu Xixi saw Aunt Zhang suddenly raise an axe from the corner of her eye, and turned her head sharply to look over, "Aunt, why did you bring our axe for chopping firewood?"
Aunt Zhang faced the enemy without looking away, "Don't be afraid, Xixi. There's no point in reasoning with these people. Let's fight them today. If anyone wants to bully you, ask my axe first!"
Gu Xixi took a deep breath. She had never seen Aunt Zhang so tough before. She was really impressed.
But... isn't it too brutal to just use an axe?
In the blink of an eye, Gu Youfu and others had already rushed over.
In fact, their purpose was not to kill Gu Xixi, but to run towards the large wheat field behind Gu Xixi.
He threatened Gu Xixi to hand over the secret recipe of farming by threatening to destroy the wheat fields.
Otherwise, Gu Xixi will get nothing.
If she doesn't let the Gu family live a good life, then no one will live a good life!
Chen Dafu and other employees naturally refused to let the Gu family succeed, and the conflict finally broke out as the two sides pushed and shoved.
However, the hired workers were all men in their prime, and they cooperated with each other in the fight against the Gu family, and did not suffer any losses for a while.
Gu Xixi tightly gripped the shovel. As a scientific researcher, she had never fought with anyone.
This kind of group fight was the first time I had seen it, and I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Seeing that the Gu family could not break through the workers' defenses, Gu Xixi discovered that several unfamiliar relatives were taking a detour from the side and running towards the wheat field.
Thinking that her fields were going to be destroyed by these people, Gu Xixi got the courage from somewhere and chased after them with a shovel in hand.
Aunt Zhang saw it and ran after him, "Xixi, don't go there alone, or you'll get into trouble!"
Mu Nanzhao frowned slightly.
It's clear that she can't even get close to him, why is she showing off? !
