Chapter 51 Have you become a victim too?
From the voice, it was Gu Qingye.
Gu Xixi's good mood, which had been accumulated due to digging up treasure, was suddenly ruined by the crying and shouting.
Aunt Zhang raised her head and said unhappily, "Yesterday you didn't care about my life or death, and today you ran to my door and kowtowed. Who are you doing this for?"
She shook off the dust on her hands and was about to stand up, "I'll let her go and cry at her doorstep!"
Gu Xixi stopped Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, I'm fine for now, you go ahead and do your thing."
"It should be Uncle Qian's idea for her to come here. It's okay to go out and listen."
When Gu Xixi opened the door, Gu Qingye was kneeling right in the middle outside the door.
There was dust on the beauty's forehead, her eyes were red and tearful, and even the hair at her temples was slightly messy.
He looked even more pitiful than usual.
While Gu Qingye was crying and apologizing, some villagers had already gathered around after hearing the noise.
Seeing this, Gu Xixi simply opened the door so that everyone could see inside and outside.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
Gu Qingye sobbed, "My sister asked me to go down the mountain to find Aunt Zhang. I wanted to take the fruits back home first, but when I got home, I didn't expect that..."
She glanced at Gu Xixi and the people around her, and spoke in a weak and difficult voice: "After we got home, my brother didn't let me go out."
Gu Qingye knelt down and took a few steps, then grabbed Gu Xixi's sleeve and said, "Sister Xixi, I really didn't mean it!"
"My brother has locked all the doors at home. If I insist on going out, he will beat me to death!"
Gu Xixi pulled back her sleeves and looked down at Gu Qingye.
"Since you were trapped and had no choice, why didn't you tell the truth when Aunt Zhang saw you?"
Gu Qingye cried, "I can swear that the words I said to my aunt were all taught by my brother in advance."
"My brother was outside glaring at me, and I really couldn't do anything."
"Sister Xixi, I'm just a girl, how dare I disobey my brother..."
After Gu Qingye finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly. It seemed that he had turned from a perpetrator into another victim.
Some onlookers were moved and sighed, "Gu Tiezhu is really a piece of shit!"
"It's obvious that girls will eventually get married, and Mr. Gu and his wife will definitely favor their son."
"Ah, I didn't think she was a bad person in the past, but now she is pushed out by her family to take the blame. How pitiful."
Gu Xixi looked at Gu Qingye, her heart calm.
She smiled, bent down, stretched out her hand to pull Gu Qingye up, "Good sister, get up."
When the two bodies got close to each other, Gu Xixi whispered in Gu Qingye's ear, her voice as ethereal as the wind.
"Is it a last resort, or is it taking advantage of the opportunity?"
Gu Qingye was stunned.
Gu Xixi had already let her go. She didn't ask whether she forgave him or not. She just smiled and said, "I know everything you said."
"You should go back earlier, and don't bother everyone standing here."
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, she smiled and nodded to everyone, then went into the yard and closed the door.
Aunt Zhang was furious when she heard this. "This girl is so young, but she is really capable of doing mischief!"
"Even if others believed her crying and kneeling, I didn't believe a word she said!"
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether Gu Tiezhu can really beat his only sister to death."
"Just last night, if she really wanted to save me, even if she didn't dare to tell the truth, there would be plenty of opportunities to warn you."
"There are so many loopholes, it's just to deceive those who have nothing to do with it."
Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly and asked worriedly, "Then do you think Lao Qian was also cheated?"
"No." Gu Xixi said firmly, "Uncle Qian has a scale in his heart."
"He will give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
Gu Qingye stood outside the door for a while in a daze, unable to understand what Gu Xixi meant, and could only go back home.
At Gu Laosan's house, Gu Tiezhu has already woken up.
He just stared upwards with empty eyes, motionless.
Liu cried, "Otherwise, let's hire a doctor for Tiezhu."
Gu Lao San scolded in a muffled voice, "Where can we find a doctor? It's embarrassing enough to go out!"
Gu Qingye took a deep breath at the door before he dared to carefully open the curtain and go in.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Gu Tiezhu heard the voice and suddenly jumped up, "It's all your fault. I didn't teach you what you said to Mrs. Zhang."
"Now everyone knows that it was me who forced you. I am the bad guy!"
Liu was afraid that her son would hurt his legs again due to excitement, so she hugged him and cried and scolded Gu Qingye:
"You still remember to come back!"
"How could you say those things to the village chief and put all the blame on your brother."
Gu Qingye's originally timid expression suddenly disappeared.
"Mom, it was my brother who wanted to kill you, not me."
"Who made him so stupid? He has done so many bad things, but he has never succeeded in anything. And he still has to make his whole family clean up his mess!"
"This time the village chief knew everything and came to our house. What else can I do?"
Liu, Gu Tiezhu and Gu Laosan all widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Gu Qingye as if they didn't know him.
Gu Qingye continued, "My brother's reputation is already ruined, and you two are spoiling him, which won't make him any better."
"Only me! Now in the eyes of others, I am the only good person in our family!"
She looked at Gu Lao San and Liu in turn, "Don't my parents want me to marry into a good family in the future and get a dowry from them?"
"My brother is the only one who has to take responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, I will lose my reputation. How can I get married?"
It turned out that this morning, Lao Qian personally visited Gu Laosan's house in the name of the village chief.
With all the evidence and witnesses, Old Qian found out the mastermind behind Gu Qingye in just a few words.
He asked Gu Laosan to bring Gu Tiezhu and immediately go to Gu Xixi to apologize, and also to loudly admit the facts in front of other villagers.
Gu Tiezhu immediately flew into a rage, screaming wildly that he would rather die than leave, and finally he vomited blood and fainted.
Liu hugged her son and cried, cursing Gu Xixi.
Gu Laosan felt sorry for his son, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and was determined not to step forward and embarrass himself.
At this time, Gu Qingye took the initiative to step forward and apologize on behalf of Gu Tiezhu.
She said she would take responsibility for her own mistakes.
She also said that as a younger sister, she should atone for her brother's sins and share the worries of her parents.
Seeing this, Old Qian fulfilled Gu Qingye's filial piety.
However, after that day, Lao Qian did not let Gu Laosan's family go just because Gu Qingye apologized.
The next morning, an oral notice was issued in the village that Gu Laosan's family would not be allowed to participate in village affairs for three years, and any dividend activities in the village during this period would have nothing to do with Gu Laosan's family.
This is to warn villagers not to follow suit and to maintain the simple and friendly folk customs of Huachidu Village.
In addition to the obvious punishment, there are also invisible consequences for Gu Laosan's family.
Liu had been planning to find a wife for her son, and she often invited the matchmaker to drink and eat meat.
Now Gu Tiezhu has a lame leg, and all his bad deeds have piled up.
The several matchmakers who had been working with Liu were scared away one after another, and not a single one was left.
After Gu Tiezhu found out, he shouted at home that he would never let Gu Xixi go.
