Chapter 287 The County Magistrate Has Been Staying at Your House All Along?
Gu Chenglin was surprised: "Sold?"
Why didn't Granny Gu stop it?
Or was it at her behest?
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, they said they would sell it to Qingzhou. Aunt Gu didn't react much after she found out."
I heard that the man was a butcher who kept Gu Meiyu chained up at home with a dog leash every day.
No one knows how Gu Meiyu escaped from that house and ran to the home of one of Gu Yaohui's classmates in Anping County.
The family didn't want to get involved, so they didn't let Gu Meiyu into their home and instead hired a car to take her to Gu Yaohui's residence.
They had barely arrived at Gu Yaohui's residence when the butcher and his men showed up.
"Just then, while they were arguing, Gu Meiyu ran away when no one was looking, and they still haven't found her."
The butcher refused to cooperate and demanded that Gu Yaohui either pay compensation or hand over the butcher.
After Gu Yaohui went back and told his mother about the matter, he asked her to find a way to locate the person.
But who knows where Gu Meiyu ran off to? That butcher is now staying with Gu Yaohui and won't leave.
Well, things weren't over yet, and Gu Meixiang was carried back by her in-laws and her cousins.
They brought her back with them a letter of divorce and a letter severing ties with her family; they abandoned her and left.
Gu Chenglin...
That despicable family, they really got what they deserved.
Gu Yaozong was the worst of those brothers; he was a scoundrel from a young age.
If he hadn't wanted to find an old man for Gu Meixiang back then, she wouldn't have done such a thing.
Gu Yaozong is just like the "white lotus" described in the TV series "Space".
Sun Xing shook his head and continued, "That letter severing ties was from Gu Meixiang and her two children."
Your uncle's family said that Aunt Gu should come back to Changhe Town less often, and use the time to properly educate the children.
educate?
Haha, how do you educate people these days?
What were you doing earlier?
The Ye family is quite interesting.
It's truly unheard of in Lingwu Village for a brother to sell his own sister.
This matter hasn't spread yet, but if it becomes common knowledge, it will have a significant impact on their village.
That family, from the oldest to the youngest, was full of trouble.
Lin Yu whispered, "Gu Meixiang was beaten by her in-laws because she was having an affair with that man from the village and had her son watch the door."
Little did she know that her son was called away by the neighbor's child.
The two of them were making quite a racket at home, and the neighbors heard them..."
Xu Changhua said angrily, "They asked my grandfather to treat Gu Meixiang, but not only did they not pay him, they also said that my grandfather was shameless for looking at his daughter's body."
My grandfather was so angry he was bedridden for days. I was even thinking of taking action, but my mother said it was the end of the year, and we shouldn't let them try to extort money from us.
He didn't say it, but his mother said that they should never associate with that family again and should stay far away from them.
Lin Yu looked at Gu Chenglin, whose face was dark: "We're afraid that if your family goes back, Aunt Gu will pester you again."
I heard she even went to your house, but somehow she came back looking quite disheveled after a short while.
You didn't see what they were like. They were running and cursing at you, saying there was a tiger in front of your house or something, causing panic among everyone.
Because of this, Sun Xing and I, along with a few villagers, went to your house to check, but there was nothing there.
Gu Chenglin's eyes flickered: "Just because of this?"
Big Black and Big White both listen to his wife, so it seems having them at home is really good.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Sun Xing said, "Otherwise what? You have no idea, your mother stands at the door every day cursing, which annoys the neighbors to no end. Some of them can't stand it anymore and come out to curse back at her."
You have no idea, the village is buzzing with excitement right now; no one's afraid of her anymore.
Her supporters ignored her, the head of the Gu clan was still lying at home, and Gu Yucheng's mother had not yet returned from her daughter's home.
It's a lie to say that Gu Yucheng doesn't hate her. Just yesterday, when the married daughter returned to her parents' home, Gu Yulan's eldest son came over, but I heard he didn't stay long and left quickly.
Gu Chenglin smiled helplessly: "Then you shouldn't have come so early. It was still dark when you set off, wasn't it? What if something had happened?"
This place wasn't like the one with streetlights everywhere you see on TV; at this moment, he actually started to look forward to those things.
Lin Yu waved his hand: "We walk that road every day, sometimes twice a day, you know that."
Sun Xing patted Gu Chenglin on the shoulder. This guy has gained a lot of weight since he came back. It seems that his sister-in-law is a good feeder.
"Hurry up and bring out all your wife's treasured items, or I won't let you off the hook."
"That's easy to arrange. You can stay here for the night before going back, otherwise you won't get a proper meal."
Xu Changhua asked with a grin, "Brother, do you have a place to stay?"
Gu Chenglin pulled him aside: "Yes, everyone squeeze in, there's enough room even if there are so many more people."
After remaining silent for a while, Gu Chunsheng looked at Gu Chenglin, then glanced at Sun Xing and the others, and lowered his voice: "Brother, Shanzi wrote that my sister-in-law's family has been missing for over a month. What do you think...?"
Should we tell Dongfang Jin that although the Fang family has severed ties with her, they did raise her for so many years?
Gu Chenglin looked around and saw that there was no one else besides the five of them. Xiao Jun had left sometime earlier.
She leaned closer and whispered, "I've already heard that the magistrate has been staying at our house since before the New Year. I heard it from him."
It's said that the Fang family offended someone, apparently related to a former master they had served.
The person they offended was from the capital, and it seemed to be related to the Duke of Wu's mansion.
Xu Changhua also whispered, "My grandfather went to the prefectural city and heard that the Wu State Duke's family was implicated and all members of the upper three generations were beheaded. Is that true?"
Gu Chenglin: "..."
He had never heard of this before; he only knew that none of Zheng Sihan's lineage remained.
This is really...
"It's hard to say. The magistrate didn't say much either. We only found out when he asked Xiao Jin for the letter severing ties with the Fang family that day."
These were all lines he, Lu Yunqing, Zhao Yuming, and his brother-in-law had prepared together.
The Fang family had long been tormented beyond recognition by his brother-in-law.
It seems that as long as his wife doesn't come home, those people from the Fang family won't die.
As for those people from Fangjia Village, we'll deal with them later. That father-in-law certainly won't let them off the hook.
And those innocent people in the Gu family, he really can't judge them right now.
If he hadn't met his wife, he probably wouldn't have cared about matters concerning his entire family, but now...
Lin Yu asked in surprise, "The county magistrate has been staying at your house all this time?"
Gu Chenglin nodded: "Yes, you can just greet each other in a bit, don't be shy."
"Be relaxed, and handle things as they come if you run into each other outside."
Sun Xing suddenly became a little nervous: "Is it okay?"
The county magistrate stayed at his house, and this caused quite a stir.
Gu Chenglin nodded: "Just don't treat him like a county magistrate right now."
Several people: Is it possible?
They were somewhat apprehensive.
Meanwhile, everyone in the hall was chatting happily. Lin Min and Yang Zhu pulled Dongfang Jin aside and talked about the Gu family, going into much more detail than Gu Chenglin had.
Dongfang Jin sneered inwardly and waved her hand: "Ignore them, let's enjoy the New Year."
It's good that they came to our house, just as they said, she was afraid of going back and encountering that family again, which would bring bad luck.
Aunt Gu looked at the children, Zhao Cai Jin Bao and the others, and asked, "Did you buy all of these?"
Dongfang Jin: "Some were bought, and some were found at the South City Beggars' Shelter."
"Poor thing, so young."
Lin Min held Dongfang Jin's hand and said, "They're really lucky to be with you."
Dongfang Jin smiled mischievously: "I'm just being pretentious because I'm poor. After February, Shitou will be going to a private school, so I need to find him a page."
Lin Min patted her hand: "If you ask me, you should send your stone to the prefectural city. The private schools there are much better than those in the county."
