Chapter 18 Abandoned
Luo Huiniang ran fast and found the village chief quickly.
When the village chief heard the news, he hurried over with the villagers of Gujia Village. When he saw the old Gu family's resting place surrounded by victims, he hurriedly asked the villagers to drive them away: "Everyone, please go back. This is our Gujia Village's business. Follow us. It’s okay everyone.”
They were fleeing famine now, and the victims didn't have much time to watch the show. When they saw the villagers in Gujia Village chasing people away, they scattered and wandered around the woods, looking for something to eat.
When Aunt Gu saw Village Chief Gu, she immediately cried: "Village Chief, you always have to make decisions for our family. Gu Xiaoyu disrespected the elders and beat me cruelly. Look at what she did to me. Wow! Ugh...Although I am not my father's biological daughter, I grew up in Lao Gu's family and am Gu Xiaoyu's aunt. She beat me like this..."
Seeing that Aunt Gu was the first to complain, Luo Huiniang was so angry that she interrupted Aunt Gu: "You are talking nonsense. It was obviously your family who beat Brother Cheng first, and the person who injured you was the third grandmother, not Xiaoyu. Don't bite Xiaoyu." put."
The third grandma took Gu Xiaoyu's wooden stick and poked it on the ground, saying: "Hui Niang is right, it was my old lady who beat you. If you don't accept it, just come to me and don't pick on the soft ones." "
Aunt Gu was exposed and stopped talking, only crying.
Village Chief Gu was upset by her crying and scolded: "That's enough, why are you crying!"
Aunt Gu quickly shut up.
Village Chief Gu looked at the old Gu family, his eyes lingered on Aunt Gu's face for a moment, and then turned to the Gu Dashan family. Seeing that Gu Jincheng was beaten so badly, Gu Jinxiu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on? Let’s make it clear one by one.”
Qian Guangzong spoke sharply and cupped his hands in front of Village Chief Gu. Just as he was about to speak, his ankle was suddenly hit by a pebble. He screamed in pain. Village Chief Gu frowned and showed displeasure on his face.
Gu Jinli took the opportunity to speak: "Grandpa, village chief, my grandma wants to sell our family of six. In order to make our family willing to be sold, she asked the aunt's family to trick my sister and Cheng Geer into here, and planned to kidnap them first. , our family had to compromise for the sake of my eldest sister and Brother Cheng."
She pointed at the injuries on Cheng Geer's face and said, "My sister and Cheng Geer resisted, and my aunt's family beat them up. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we don't know how Cheng Geer would have been beaten by them? "
Brother Cheng was scared and aggrieved. Hearing Gu Jinli's words and thinking of the horror just now, he sobbed and cried again. He looked so pitiful.
Village Chief Gu was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the injuries on Gu Jincheng's face and the short, fat man who had been standing at the resting place of old Gu's house, he knew that this was true.
The villagers in Gujia Village were also horrified. The Dashan brothers worked hard and worked as cattle and horses for Gu Liushu's family, but Gu Liushu's family actually wanted to sell their family of six.
Aunt Gu hurriedly shouted: "Village chief, Gu Xiaoyu is lying. Don't listen to her nonsense. It was Gu Dashan who voluntarily sold his family of six to the old Gu family in exchange for food. The old Gu family did not force him to sell himself into slavery."
Gu Jinli smiled and looked at Aunt Gu with a pair of round, almond-shaped eyes with sarcasm: "Auntie, are you willing to sell your own family in exchange for food for the old Gu family?"
How could Aunt Gu be willing? She's not a fool.
Seeing that Aunt Gu was deflated, Mrs. Gu began to cry again and said to the village chief: "Village Chief, I know that I have a bad temper, and people in the village think I am vicious, but what happened this time is that Dashan himself wants to sell his wife and children to Let’s exchange for food.”
She sighed: "Da Shan is a filial child. He knew that the family was about to run out of food and couldn't bear his father to starve, so he asked Guangzong to find a way for him to sell himself, his wife and children in exchange for food for his father to survive."
Gu Dashan hurriedly denied: "No, village chief, I didn't want to sell my wife and children."
When Mrs. Gu heard what Gu Dashan said, she looked disappointed: "Dashan, we advised you two days ago to return the food and money to the Qi Mansion and get the deed of betrayal back, but you didn't listen. Now the housekeeper of the Qi Mansion You come to get people, but you go back on your word, you, why are you doing this?"
The village chief was shocked and looked up at Mrs. Gu: "Have you signed the deed of betrayal?"
This is bad. With the deed of betrayal, he can't even if he wants to keep Gu Dashan and his family. Qian Guangzong once again raised the deed of betrayal in his hand and said, "No, this is the deed of betrayal that I saw my uncle press his fingerprints with my own eyes."
He looked at Gu Jinli and sneered: "Niece Xiaoyu, it's your father who wants to sell you. It's useless no matter how you confuse right and wrong."
Gu Jinli’s face darkened: “Who is confusing right and wrong?”
Seeing that both sides were arguing, Village Chief Gu looked at Mr. Gu, who was standing behind Gu Youwen, and asked, "Lao Liu, is what your eldest son-in-law said true?"
Mr. Gu remained silent when he was questioned.
Gu Dashan looked at Mr. Gu expectantly, hoping that he could say something for him and clarify the facts, but Mr. Gu never spoke, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Gu Dashan had no choice but to kneel down towards Mr. Gu with a plop: "Dad, please tell the truth, son, I beg you!"
This is a major matter involving his family of six being sold. He can become a servant, but he cannot let his wife and children be enslaved, and he will be unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life.
Mr. Gu still didn't speak. Gu Dashan could only kowtow to him and beg him.
The sound of banging and kowtowing echoed through the resting place of the old Gu family. Gu Dashan's forehead was black and blue. The villagers couldn't bear to see it and began to whisper that Mr. Gu was cold-blooded.
Mr. Gu had no choice but to finally say, "Da Shan, you have to admit what you have done and don't cause trouble to your family."
Gu Dashan was stunned for a moment and looked at Mr. Gu in disbelief. Over the years, he worked as a cow and horse for the old Gu family, and endured the fight between the old lady Gu and the whole family, all for the sake of old man Gu.
He always felt that Mr. Gu had his eldest son in his heart and did not help him because he did not want to increase the conflicts in the family. After all, he was neither deaf nor dumb nor a family man.
But now, in his most difficult time, when his wife and children were about to be sold, he asked this father to tell the truth for him, but he refused.
Gu Dashan cried, covering his dark face with his hands, tears dripping from his fingers, crying like a child.
Mrs. Gu heard what Mr. Gu said and saw Gu Dashan crying bitterly, and felt happy. It was humiliating for her to marry a poor man to fill her house. Only by grinding her original wife's child hard can her unwilling heart feel better.
Gu Jinli did not stop Gu Dashan from kneeling down to beg Mr. Gu, and Gu Dashan was abandoned by Mr. Gu, which was what she wanted to see.
She has always known that Gu Dashan values Mr. Gu very seriously, because Mr. Gu is reluctant to leave the old Gu family. This time, she wants to make Gu Dashan see clearly her status in Mr. Gu's heart - comparable to a servant!
Only when Gu Dashan is completely disappointed with Mr. Gu can she get Gu Dashan to agree to leave the old Gu family.
Gu Jinli pointed to the deed of sale in Qian Guangzong's hand and said to Village Chief Gu: "Grandpa Village Chief, we want to see the deed of sale. If we haven't seen it, how do we know what is written on it? Who is selling it?"
The village chief nodded in agreement: "The eldest son-in-law of Lao Liu's family, please bring me the deed of betrayal."
Qian Guangzong came well prepared and was not afraid of the village chief inspecting the deed of betrayal. He walked up to the village chief, handed the deed of betrayal to the village chief, pointed to the fingerprints on it, and said, "Village chief, look, this is Gu Dashan's fingerprint. It has his fingerprints on it.”
The way to verify fingerprints since ancient times is to look at fingerprints.
