“I don’t know what my father is thinking. I just don’t feel at ease about this.”
How could someone like Gu Dekang be afraid?
"Tell me, what exactly happened when you went to town?"
Gu Yingfu sensed that something was amiss and questioned Yang Shi.
Meanwhile, Gu Sang started thinking about how to handle the Gu family's affairs.
"Sang Sang".
Seeing that Gu Sang hadn't rested yet, Li came over and asked, "Sang Sang, what do you plan to do?"
"Mother, I plan to go to the landlord's house with Li Rong tomorrow."
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Li immediately shook her head!
"Sangsang, are you crazy! Don't you remember you were almost buried alive by them before?! This won't do!"
Li would agree to anything Gu Sang wanted, but she would absolutely not allow her to do anything so risky!
"What if the landlord's family detains you?"
Gu Sang knew what Li was worried about, but this matter had to be addressed.
“Mother, I know what you’re worried about. Li Rong and I are just going to find out what’s going on. I know what you’re worried about, and I won’t put myself in any danger.”
She was just a simple peasant woman; Li's only wish was for Gu Sang to be safe. As for anything else…
"But it could be dangerous..."
Gu Sang said, "Nothing will happen, Mother, don't worry."
She had planned everything out in advance, so if anything went wrong, she had a way to escape. Besides, this trip was also to gather information and confirm whether the landlord family truly didn't know what had happened. If the landlord family really didn't know Gu Sang was still alive, then Gu Sang would be easier to deal with.
“Mother, our third branch is no longer the third branch that they used to bully. It’s time for them to pay for the sins they committed.”
Upon hearing this, Li paused for a moment before letting out a helpless sigh.
"Sang Sang, you must be careful and handle this matter properly."
Gu Sang nodded and nestled in Li's arms, teasing her.
The next morning, under Li's worried gaze, Gu Sang and Li Rong went out.
Seeing Gu Sang's completely indifferent expression, Li Rong asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I've already died once. I've walked through the gates of hell once, why would I worry about these things?"
“That’s true, why not take a chance?” Li Rong was never afraid of any problems; he felt at ease as long as he could stay by Gu Sang’s side.
After hearing what he said, Gu Sang smiled faintly.
Li Rong smiled and said, "Then let's go."
The two headed towards the landlord's house. The landlord's house wasn't in town; it was just located in a neighboring village. After arriving in the village and asking around, they found the landlord's house.
Gu Sang thought for a moment and said to Li Rong, "Go and find out what I look like. When you get there, ask them..."
She whispered in Li Rong's ear. Li Rong had been listening attentively, but the fragrance emanating from Gu Sang kept wafting towards her nose, making her feel a little nervous, and she clenched her fists.
However, Gu Sang did not notice his subtle movement. After she finished speaking, Gu Sang said, "Let's do it this way!"
"Hello? Li Rong?"
"Oh? Okay."
Li Rong quickly snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, suppressed the evil thoughts in her heart, and left.
Li Rong pretended to be a passerby, and then saw the people working at the landlord's house. He coughed and walked over.
"Hello, I have a question..."
Li Rong squatted down next to the man and began asking him about the landlord's family.
The farmhand said, "Of course! The ghost marriage is all done! You have to have money to do this. Look at the landlords, they have money and they can arrange a ghost marriage for their dead sons. But we don't have money, so we have to put up with not having wives."
Li Rong smiled upon hearing this and then took her leave.
When he returned, he told Gu Sang the information he had gathered.
"They are awful!"
At that moment, Li Rong only regretted that she couldn't do anything. That feeling was truly unbearable!
After hearing this, Gu Sang waved her hand and said, "No matter what happened, I'm still alive and well. Not only will I live well, but I'll also make them suffer!"
Because Gu Sang knew very well that she was definitely not the first person to engage in ghost marriage. This kind of feudal custom should be eradicated. Were the lives of women in ancient times so worthless?
Having thought of all this, Gu Sang said, "I won't say much else, but you'd better remember that no matter what happens, we have to deal with this place first."
Li Rong understood and asked, "So what should we do next?"
Gu Sang narrowed her eyes slightly, then said, "Naturally... it's about taking the risk!"
Risking one's life? Li Rong didn't understand what this meant for a moment.
"Of course, it's about me appearing in front of everyone."
"No way!" Li Rong immediately refused upon hearing this, continuing, "That's too risky. What if the landlord finds out you're not dead and arrests you again? That's too risky!" Gu Sang found this too risky and would not agree to it.
"If we don't do this now, what if they harm others later? Or what if other families follow their example? But what about your safety! I can't guarantee that!"
Li Rong frowned and shook her head repeatedly.
It has to be said that at this moment, Gu Sang was still very touched that someone was worried about her.
Do you think they're my match?
"That's your brain, but how can they compete with you in terms of brains? They have brute force, and you're just a girl..."
Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Although this village seems relatively wealthy, how kind can a local landlord be?
"Listen to me, we'll discuss this when we get back. You can't get agitated right now, understand?"
Gu Sang said nothing more; she had already made up her mind.
"Let's go back and discuss it first, and then we'll talk about it again after we've figured things out."
"Um."
The two then left the village and returned to the town.
Gu Sang remained silent the entire way, pondering how to handle the situation, while Li Rong kept a close eye on her.
To be honest, Li Rong was genuinely afraid that Gu Sang might suddenly run out and do something. If that happened, Li Rong would really go crazy.
Gu Sang turned her head and glanced at Li Rong, who was staring at her.
Why are you staring at me?
"I'm keeping an eye on you, afraid you'll do something crazy."
