"Father, I've made my stance clear on this matter. As for the rest... I can't do anything about it."
After Gu Yinggui finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and left.
The father and son were left alone, and for a moment they remained silent.
Gu Yingfu was angry, but she didn't dare to be too angry in front of Gu Dekang. She was furious, but she still had to hold back. That feeling was really too difficult.
“Father, you can’t let the second son run wild like this. Look at the situation now, is it really my fault? I also want our family to be happy and harmonious, but the third branch is just causing trouble for us. So if you ask me, we should just deal with the third branch completely, so they won’t be so arrogant anymore!”
Everything else is negotiable, but this is something that absolutely cannot be tolerated.
Regardless of what happens in the future, in Gu Yingfu's mind, even if something really happens, the second wife cannot run away.
Gu Dekang waved his hand.
"Alright, let me think about it."
Gu Dekang's brain is completely muddled from the argument between the two brothers.
Gu Dekang would naturally not sit idly by and wait for his fate in this situation, but he still needed to figure out the best course of action. Otherwise, if things really got out of hand, wouldn't they be completely at a loss?
Gu Yingfu was somewhat patient, but his father wasn't in a good mood, so Gu Yingfu could only nod and say nothing more.
In the kitchen, the two sisters-in-law were cooking. Xie had heard what her husband had told her yesterday, so she glanced at her busy sister-in-law, her eyes darting around, and asked, "Um... sister-in-law, has Da Ya's matter been settled?"
Yang paused for a moment while shoveling vegetables, then continued cooking as usual, her voice carrying over at a moderate distance.
"That's right, what else could we do? If we didn't give them the money, how could this girl survive? This girl is ungrateful; she actually dared to threaten us!"
That's why they say, "Birds of a feather flock together." Gu Yingfu and Yang Shi are simply a pair of snakes and rats, capable of saying such shameless things.
Madam Xie curled the corners of her lips, finding it rather amusing. As for other matters, Madam Xie truly did not understand them, but she knew very well about this matter. Back then, everything was because of the eldest son's family. If it weren't for the eldest son's family, how could such a fight have occurred?
He actually had the idea of selling his niece. He's truly ruthless and greedy.
Most importantly, you took the money and sold the child, but now you expect people to thank you?
Thinking of all this, Xie shook her head and remained silent.
You can't talk much with someone like that. Although Xie Shi wasn't a good person either, she had never done anything to harm anyone, so she considered herself to be a little more noble than her sister-in-law, Yang Shi.
Gu Sang didn't care about the situation at the Gu family's old house. She had thought a lot about it all night, so after cleaning everything up in the morning and putting the fish into the wooden bucket, she turned to Li Shi and said, "Mother, this hilltop... I'll go find the village chief?"
Without further ado, although the family had discussed it yesterday, they hadn't gone to see the village chief yet. Now that they had some time, they decided to finalize the matter so they could avoid worrying about it.
If this entire mountain were given to me, then whatever Gu Sang did would be perfectly legitimate.
After hearing this, Li thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, I went to talk to them. The sooner we buy it, the sooner we can have peace of mind. Otherwise, that cave..." Li stopped there.
She believed it was best to say as little as possible about such things, otherwise, if God were to be displeased, they would suffer the consequences.
Gu Sang smiled and said nothing. After having breakfast, she went to the village chief's house alone.
The entire Gujia Village is relatively well-off, neither rich nor poor. Most people in the village live in unfinished houses, but only the village chief's house is a brick house, which shows that he is doing relatively well.
Is Uncle Village Chief here?
Gu Sang reached the door and called out.
The dog in the village chief's yard also heard the noise and started barking wildly, which quickly lured the people inside the house out.
The village chief's wife came out, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Sang.
He then glanced behind Gu Sang but saw nothing, and then called for Gu Sang to come in.
"Is something wrong, Da Ya?"
He asked casually, but in his heart he was also wondering, what could a little girl of ten years old possibly have to do? If there really was something wrong, wouldn't it be Li Shi who came?
Or has something happened at the Gu family that requires her husband to handle?
Although I had been thinking about it the whole way, I didn't say anything.
The village chief was resting in his house, smoking his pipe. He was also taken aback when he saw Gu Sang.
"Is something wrong, Da Ya?"
No one took the little girl seriously. After all, everyone in the village knew about the Gu family's situation; the third branch of the family was not treated like a human being at all.
But...didn't I hear that the third wife's family was separated?
Gu Sang is such a smart person. She could tell what each of them was thinking just from their eyes. However, Gu Sang was not at all reserved. After all, everyone had seen what the third branch of the family had been like before, and there was no point in bringing up such things again.
So at this moment, Gu Sang smiled slightly and nodded.
"Uncle Village Chief, the reason I came here is to ask if it's true that the hilltop on our mountain is for sale?"
These words made people take a closer look at Gu Sang.
Upon closer inspection, it was quite surprising to find that the eldest maid of the third branch was wearing new clothes.
Even the village chief's family, which is considered relatively wealthy, only buys one new piece of clothing at the end of the year. The third family, on the other hand, has always lived a life of hardship, so where would they get the money to buy new clothes?
Among these...
The village chief didn't want to think too much about it, but he nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing. So, you want to buy it? Is it the third branch of the family that wants to buy it, or is it your Gu family?"
The village chief is quite concerned about this matter.
