Chu Jianshu, who had just arrived, saw Gu Rong lying on the ground and asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing? Haven't you ever experienced childhood? Playing in the mud?"
Gu Rong ignored the other person and continued digging in the ground with a small stick.
Seeing that Gu Rong was ignoring him, Chu Jianshu was not unhappy.
He stepped forward to take a look, and when he saw that it was ginseng, he picked up a stick and started digging in the ground.
While digging, he said, "I was wondering why you hadn't come back for so long. Turns out you found something good."
I just dug up three, and my hands are already sore.
They're still relying solely on wooden sticks, so Gu Rong just gave up: "Then you dig properly, and I'll give you a tendril later."
Chu Jianshu lowered his head and smiled, looking at Gu Rong with gratitude: "You are such a good person. I will definitely work hard for this stubble."
"Okay, keep it up!" Actually, after digging up those three, there were only two small ones left to dig up.
Gu Xing, who was at the foot of the mountain, had just finished preparing his things and was about to go and call Gu Rong and the other person.
Just as she stepped out, Gu Qiang approached her again: "Xiao Xing, I have something to tell you about your mother and your maternal grandmother's family."
Hearing that it concerned her mother, Gu Xing, though doubtful, still followed along.
Seeing that they had only walked a few steps up the mountain, Gu Xing stopped and said, "Let's talk here."
Gu Qiang led people up the mountain to prevent anything from being overheard by Sun Shi and Lin Qi.
Looking at their current position, they were already quite a distance away from that side. Unless they shouted loudly, Sun Shi and the other man wouldn't be able to hear them at all.
So Gu Qiang didn't insist and stopped walking: "Okay, let's talk here."
When his mother passed away, Gu Qiang was out with Gu Jiazhen and Bai Rou and wasn't home at all.
Over the years, Gu Qiang had forgotten, thinking he could fool him, but Gu Xing would remember that day for the rest of his life.
Gu Xing crossed his arms and stared at Gu Qiang, wanting to see what kind of story he could come up with: "Hmm, go ahead."
Seeing Gu Xing's expression, Gu Qiang also felt a little guilty: "I didn't expect your mother to pass away so suddenly back then. I regret it every time I think about it because I was busy with work and couldn't be by her side."
Later, when I married Bai Rou, I had her take care of you first. Bai Rou acted so well that I always thought she was very good to you. It was only because you didn't like her and deliberately made things difficult for her that I was biased towards her.
As Gu Qiang spoke, he occasionally glanced at Gu Xing, trying to see his expression.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing didn't react at all after he finished speaking, so Gu Qiang could only continue to press: "Back then, your mother must have felt that she was about to leave."
Tell me before that where your grandfather's house keeps things. I've earned enough for you to spend over the years, so I haven't paid attention to these things.
You should know the two people who came with me. They somehow found out that your grandfather's family had some good things, so they deliberately reported me, causing me to lose my job.
Then they took me away and threatened me with your and Xiao Rong's lives, saying that if I didn't obey and help them gather information, they would kill you and Xiao Rong.
I was hoping to stall and try to fool them, but they gave me an ultimatum today: if I don't tell them, they'll take action against you.
Dad doesn't care about anything else, he just wants you to live. Those material things, we can still get them if we work hard. If you really know anything, just tell me. Life is more important.
Gu Xing snorted coldly: "Hmph, Comrade Gu Qiang, do you believe what you're saying?"
"Xiaoxing, believe me, I'm telling the truth," Gu Qiang tried to step forward and grab Gu Xing's arm to convince her.
But Gu Xing didn't want him to touch her at all, and stepped aside: "I'll tell you too, my mother only said that we shouldn't hate you, and shouldn't think about revenge."
If you don't believe me, go look for it at the location my mother told you to go. You must not have found it, so you came here to put on this show. Do you think I'm stupid?
To be honest with you, we don't know what it is. Don't you think about how we would transport it if it really was something?
I've already told you what to do. If you come looking for us again, I advise you to leave as soon as possible.
After Gu Xing finished speaking, he turned around and quickly walked down the mountain.
Gu Qiang stood there, staring intently at Gu Xing's back.
If he hadn't seen Chu Jianshu and Gu Rong digging for something in the back mountain today, he might have believed it.
But considering what he saw in the afternoon, and Gu Xing's last words just now telling them to leave quickly, it was clear he was feeling guilty. He was certain that there was something hidden in that cave.
As Gu Qiang walked down the mountain, he saw Sun Shi coming towards him.
I explained what Gu Xing had just said to them, but Sun Shi was still somewhat skeptical.
After all, they had been keeping a close eye on Gu Xing and Gu Rong all this time and hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Sun Shi couldn't help but wonder if there was any point in staying any longer.
But then I thought, Chu Jianshu is still here. If we don't find the item, taking Chu Jianshu's life might lessen the punishment.
"You guys go back first, we'll go back later," Sun Shi said, glancing at Lin Qi. The two exchanged a look and headed towards the back of the mountain.
Seeing this, Gu Qiang glanced at Bai Rou and walked down the mountain.
Gu Rong and Chu Jianshu on the mountain finally finished digging up the remaining ginseng.
Looking at the sky, they realized it was almost dinnertime. The two returned to the cave, took the two shovels, and went straight home.
When the two arrived home, everyone else had already finished eating, but they were left with a good amount of food.
After finishing their meal, Chu Jianshu called Gu Rong and Gu Xing to go next door.
The roof beams were installed a few days ago, and the rest of the work was completed on the same day.
They ventilated the house for two days, and then moved in the day before yesterday.
When they built the house, they built three rooms, one large and two small, and with Pu Tao, it was just enough for one person each.
Chu Jianshu contributed the most money, so he lived in the largest room on the east side.
Because there's a main room in between, even if someone says something, as long as they don't speak loudly, the other two rooms won't hear it.
Moreover, Li Chengyang and Pu Tao are not the kind of people who lack discretion.
So they called for help, and the three of them entered the room without closing the door.
After sitting down, Gu Xing told the two of them what Gu Qiang had said to him earlier that day: "...That's about it."
I reckon Gu Qiang definitely believes it. It's just that the other two are not easy to deal with. What do you guys think?
Chu Jianshu thought for a moment and said, "Gu Qiang just discovered it, but hasn't seen anything yet, so we won't take any action for now."
As for the other two, I have a way to deal with them; you can leave these two alone.”
"Are you sure you can do it?" It wasn't that Gu Rong doubted him, but rather that she thought he wasn't capable.
The main reason is what A-Xi said before: Chu Jianshu will die soon.
If his own problems are resolved, then it has nothing to do with her.
But if she were to die, it would inevitably affect her emotions, and Gu Xing would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.
