This night has been filled with so much, it's hard for anyone to bear it all, but Sisi is still young and is already asleep.
Gu Sang quickly tidied up the things, then said to Li Rong, "It's getting late, go back and rest. Don't forget to come over for breakfast tomorrow morning, I'll stew some fish."
"good."
After learning so many secrets, Li Rong stopped being polite to Gu Sang, nodded, and left.
It was midnight.
Mrs. Li was still worried and couldn't sleep well. She took a deep breath and looked at her eldest daughter on the side of the bed.
"Sangsang, are you asleep?"
Gu Sang wasn't asleep; she was thinking about these things when she heard Li call her, so she responded.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Li wasn't sure if she was overthinking things, but she still felt uneasy. So, she closed her eyes slightly and waited until her mind cleared before saying, "Sangsang, about the cave... will it pose any danger to you?"
Li doesn't ask for anything else; all she wants is for her family to live peacefully and safely. That's better than anything else.
But now it seems that this is no longer possible.
Moreover, the cave was so strange, which really made people feel surprised.
Gu Sang was well aware that, given Li's personality, she would definitely take this matter to heart and would have some other concerns.
To be honest, this kind of thing is really not a big deal in Gu Sang's eyes.
She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mother, it's really not a big deal. Only I can see that cave; no one else can help. Don't you know that?"
"Mother knows."
Li was no fool, and naturally understood the situation perfectly well. However, because of this, she still felt somewhat worried.
"As Li Rong said, 'A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.' I'm afraid that this matter might cause some trouble later. Sangsang, I really don't ask that our third branch of the family become rich and powerful. As long as you brothers and sisters are safe and sound, I will be at ease. Really."
Li Shi is someone who doesn't really want to think too much about all of this. No matter what happens, she will bear it all and never interfere in other people's affairs. But this matter right now... it's really worrying to think about.
She was terrified that her daughter might be in danger.
So, being a mother can indeed be difficult at times.
Gu Sang understood, so she simply smiled and said, "Mother, don't overthink it. Besides... our lives will only get better and better. This kind of thing doesn't exist. Just relax."
Gu Sang knew very well what Li was thinking, and she also knew what kind of person Li was. So at this moment, Gu Sang hoped to explain things to Li clearly so that Li wouldn't worry so much.
“Mother, our family has no foundation or money to begin with. Even if things get worse, we’ll just be back to square one. What’s there to worry about?”
Originally, Li was genuinely worried, but after hearing Gu Sang's words, she inexplicably felt that her daughter was right.
She shook her head with amusement, and after a while, she raised her hand and pinched the space between her eyebrows.
"Sangsang, Mother is overthinking it."
Li knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't help it. Whenever she thought about these things, her heart felt restless, as if weeds were growing inside her.
Perhaps it was the difficult survival she had endured for so many years that gave her a particularly humble feeling, and even the slightest disturbance would make her extremely afraid.
Actually, this situation isn't very good, but who can say anything about it?
Gu Sang knew that Li was just like that, so what Gu Sang needed to do now was to make Li understand all of this and to stop Li from being afraid.
After all, no matter what happens, life still has to go on as usual.
"Mother, go to sleep. We'll be busy tomorrow."
"good."
After persuading Li, the mother and daughter went back to sleep.
The next morning, when Gu Sang woke up, she opened the door of the thatched hut and saw Li Rong already standing outside.
"You're here so early?" She was quite surprised.
Li Rong nodded and then said, "Is there anything I need to do? It won't be so hot in the morning without the sun."
Actually, Li Rong didn't say it, but he kept Gu Sang's words in mind yesterday. He was also worried that something might happen at the Gu family's place, so he came early.
He wasn't one to seek credit, so when he thought about these things at this moment, he didn't say anything more.
Although Gu Sang expressed surprise, upon careful consideration, she could understand why.
However, now is not the time to talk about these things. They still have a lot to do. So in the morning, together with Li, who had also gotten up, the three of them washed the fruit they had picked the night before and then made fruit wine and candied fruit. They were very busy.
Meanwhile, the Gu family members also woke up at this time.
Gu Dekang sat in the courtyard smoking, while his two daughters-in-law were busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. His eldest son, Gu Yingfu, walked over, saw Gu Dekang's appearance, thought for a moment, and then said, "Dad, what should we do about this?"
They couldn't come up with a plan yesterday. If they don't find a solution today, and that brat really reports it to the authorities tomorrow, then the Gu family can forget about having a good life.
Thinking of Gu Sang, Gu Yingfu couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
"I really hate it! If I had buried it a little deeper back then, none of this would have happened!"
This person never reflected on his actions at this point, and even thought that he hadn't buried the person deeper enough, which led to this trouble.
Human nature has probably been extinguished.
Gu Ying'an, from the second wife's family, also came over at this moment. Seeing her elder brother's resentful appearance, she felt disdain in her heart.
He's so foolish to do such stupid things, and he even tried to hide money. If he hadn't been quick-witted, the thirty taels of silver would probably have been taken by the eldest son's family long ago.
Now that trouble has arisen, I still have to bear the consequences myself.
Gu Yinggui was also somewhat uneasy about this.
"Father, that girl seems different from before. Do you remember what she was like before?"
These words surprised both Gu Dekang and Gu Yingfu.
Their locked-up standoff was somewhat amusing, but it also highlighted the pitiful state of the third branch of the family.
