However, this good life did not last long, because when they returned to the thatched hut, they found that the house seemed to have been ransacked, and even Li and her four children had disappeared without a trace.
Something's happened.
When Li Rong saw this scene, she couldn't help but gasp.
He turned to look at Gu Sang and saw that Gu Sang's face was gloomy and her eyes were filled with a storm.
"Don't worry, perhaps..."
"Maybe what? Can't you tell? It couldn't possibly be that the four kids, including Da Wa, were playing around and tearing the house down, could it?"
Gu Sang gave a cold laugh. After she finished speaking, she went straight to the kitchen and took a look. Sure enough, the kitchen had been ransacked, and even the leftover steamed buns from the morning had been taken away.
She picked up the kitchen knife from the stove and weighed it in her hand.
"These people... they really don't know what's good for them, tsk tsk..."
At that moment, she couldn't quite describe her feelings. She was certainly angry, but she felt mostly ridiculous.
The Gu family really doesn't know what death means!
"I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Gu Sang shook her head.
This is a problem left over from history, and no matter what Li Rong says, he is still an outsider. Gu Sang can understand this point and will not drag innocent people into the mess.
So at this moment, after refusing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang directly grabbed a kitchen knife and headed towards the Gu family's main residence.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family home, Zhang was leaning on her cane, standing in the courtyard cursing the four women, including Li, who worked for the Gu family.
"You jinxes! You're all jinxes! How dare you act arrogantly in front of me! Let me tell you! Don't think you can live a good life just because you've separated from me! Even if you've separated, you still have to come back and work for me!"
"And that jinx, that little bastard Da Ya, we'll sell her off later!"
Li was washing clothes when she heard this and immediately looked up.
"Mother, what did Daya do wrong? Why were you sold?"
This was the first time in many years that Li had defied her mother-in-law.
For the sake of her children, Li would no longer care about those things.
All five children are precious babies she carried for ten months and gave birth to. If the Gu family doesn't care about them, then she will!
But even if the Gu family disliked the child, they shouldn't have to mistreat him, right?
If a child is sold, what good will happen to them in the future?
Zhang never expected that her third daughter-in-law, who was as bold as a quail, would dare to talk back to her to her face. Zhang was so angry that she raised her cane and hit Li hard on the back!
"Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak!"
"ah--"
Li was completely unprepared and was hit in an instant, falling directly into the basin of water.
The children from the first and second wives, however, burst out laughing when they saw Li's disheveled state.
"Haha... How ridiculous, he looks like a drowned rat."
"Yeah, it's really dirty."
The eldest and second children were a bit older, and when they saw this scene, they immediately rushed out!
"Don't you dare bully my mother!"
"Don't you dare bully my mother!"
Two little men stood protectively in front of Li.
However, if this were someone else's child, they might receive praise, but in the Gu family, the result would definitely be a good beating!
When Gu Sang arrived, she saw that her four younger siblings were being beaten by the children of the first and second wives, and that the old woman Zhang was also beating Li.
This is outrageous!
In that instant, Gu Sang's pent-up anger finally erupted.
"stop!"
She shouted and then quickly walked forward.
When the children saw Gu Sang, they all ran away in a swarm, while Zhang was still hitting Li.
That was her mother-in-law after all, so Li didn't dare to fight back and just passively endured it.
Who wouldn't feel heartbroken seeing that scene?
When Gu Sang saw that Zhang was still hitting Li, she was so angry that she rushed forward, grabbed the cane from Zhang's hand, and pushed her away!
Oh my~
With Zhang's cry of pain, everyone who had been hiding in the room watching the commotion suddenly rushed out.
The fastest runner was Gu Yingfu. Seeing that Gu Sang dared to lay a hand on the old woman, he immediately pointed his finger at Gu Sang and cursed, "You little bastard, how dare you lay a hand on your grandmother! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"
Divine retribution?
Gu Sang was so angry at these words that she laughed.
She helped Li up.
Li was in excruciating pain all over her body from the beating, but she could only endure it. This feeling was incredibly frustrating and painful.
After calming herself down, Gu Sang looked at the members of the Gu family.
Gu Dekang also came out slowly, carrying his pipe.
"Da Ya, you hit your own breasts, we all saw it, what do you say we do about this?"
What does it mean to be shameless?
What does it mean to turn the tables and blame someone else?
Gu Sang finally understood.
What's the point of saying anything else?
What's the point of talking to this group of people?
Gu Sang closed her eyes slightly, and at this moment, she truly felt a sense of sorrow.
What do you think the hearts of these people are made of?
