Isn't what they're saying just a dig at them for betraying Gu Sang?
If you can sell your own niece and bury her alive without hesitation, then what about your own brothers?
Gu Yinggui himself was too lazy to get involved in these messy affairs, so upon hearing this, he got up and left with Madam Xie.
"Dad! Look at the second son and his wife!"
Gu Yingfu was so humiliated that he almost died on the spot. Unfortunately, he wasn't as quick-witted as his second wife, so he could only endure it, feeling incredibly frustrated.
At that moment, Gu Dekang took a deep breath.
There are quite a few messy things going on at home, and Gu Dekang just doesn't want to pursue them. Otherwise, who knows what the consequences might be.
It's understandable that sons aren't always on the same page as their parents once they grow up.
Having thought of all this, Gu Dekang took a deep breath and then waved his hand.
"Alright, enough of that, boss. Let me ask you, what are you planning to do about this? It's getting dark."
Gu Dekang knew that his eldest son was ruthless, and precisely because he knew this, he was also very clear that he had to be careful in certain matters.
He's an old man, he needs to save face. If he loses face, then everything else is lost.
The eldest brother and his group don't need to think about that much, since the eldest brother is still relatively young.
However, Gu Yingfu didn't understand any of this. Besides, the thought of the twenty taels of silver he had been swindled out of filled him with pain. After thinking for a moment, Gu Yingfu said, "Father, didn't I say this afternoon? We'll sneak over tonight, rob the silver back, and then quickly find someone to sell their whole family! Then let's see how arrogant they can be!"
Whenever Gu Yingfu thought about these things, he felt extremely resentful.
Who could have imagined things would turn out this way?
Gu Dekang was extremely unwilling, as that was twenty taels of silver, no small sum!
Whenever I think about these things, my heart aches terribly!
Upon hearing this, Gu Dekang narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure you can do this? Don't forget, your little girl is different now than before. None of us can guarantee that she won't change. If she really causes trouble in the future... then we won't be able to handle it."
It has to be said that what happened today really taught Gu Dekang a lesson. Even though he was unwilling, he didn't dare to move an inch at that time, and he was terrified whenever he thought about it.
I'm really afraid that brat will do it again.
Gu Yingfu understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Father, there's no use in being afraid about this. We still have to face it, right? Besides, that brat is only ten years old. I was just too shocked to react before, but don't worry, Father, I will definitely not back down tonight!"
After Gu Yingfu finished speaking, he clenched his fist tightly again.
She's just a little girl, what kind of abilities could she possibly have?
He was indeed frightened at first, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of. They are just a group of women and children. Surely he can handle them?
After hearing these words, Gu Dekang nodded.
"Alright, boss, you can handle this. Go and take care of it after it gets dark. But be careful, that girl... she's really weird."
In his entire life, Gu Dekang had never submitted to anyone, but in this matter concerning Gu Sang, Gu Dekang was genuinely frightened by the little girl.
Who would have thought that such a young girl would be so wicked!
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes people feel extremely shocked and frightened.
Gu Yingfu was initially resentful, but after hearing his father's words, he became somewhat nervous for some reason. After a long while, Gu Yingfu nodded.
"Um... Mother, don't worry, I understand."
When Gu Yingfu went back to prepare, Zhang Shi, who had been resting in bed, also sat up.
"Honey, do you think I'm dead?"
Zhang was genuinely terrified.
She's such an old woman, and someone actually held a knife to her neck. Isn't that shocking? And most importantly, things have escalated to this point. If something really happens in the future, it will be a lifelong trauma.
Zhang was in a daze all afternoon, constantly thinking that she was dead.
When Gu Dekang saw Zhang's appearance, he quickly went over and patted the back of her hand.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Hearing this, Zhang was somewhat comforted, and after her mind cleared up a bit, she couldn't help but grit her teeth again.
"Master! That little bastard must be taught a lesson! We absolutely cannot let that little bastard get away with it!"
The more Zhang thought about it, the more resentful she became. Just thinking about how that little bastard had held her by the neck and threatened her filled her with shame and anger!
I feel resentful now, I hate myself for being so scared back then, for giving in so easily.
She should have just turned around, grabbed that little bastard, and slapped him twice across the face!
Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant again!
Gu Dekang shook his head helplessly, then said to Zhang Shi, "Alright, don't think about these things anymore. The boss will deal with them tonight and get the money back. This third branch of the family is really out of control. They've extorted forty taels of silver from us!"
The twenty taels of silver they took almost cost the old couple their lives.
Gu Dekang was also a person who valued money above all else, so how could he possibly tolerate it?
Even now, the pain in my heart is still excruciating!
Zhang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Yes, yes, yes! We must get the money back! Once we catch that little bastard, you'll see how I deal with her!"
Zhang gritted her teeth fiercely, her mind already filled with 108 cruel ways to punish Gu Sang. If she didn't deal with this little bastard, Zhang would probably never get a good night's sleep for the rest of her life!
Gu Dekang also hummed in agreement.
They didn't think they had done anything wrong, and in their eyes, it was all because the third branch of the family disrespected the elderly and the young, and was not respectful to them, so they deserved to be punished!
Human hearts are truly biased; if it's a child they love, they'll do anything for them, but if it's a child they don't love, they won't.
