Chapter 44 Cloud surge
"Hey, Lin'er, stop making trouble. Your aunt asked me to go and watch the fun..."
Gu Lin'er watched Li trying to walk out. She could no longer hold back her desire to watch the fun and became even more anxious.
"Mother, mother, please listen to me..."
"Oh, what's there to say? Let me go and see what's going on first. I'll tell you when I come back later!"
"Oh, mother, they are just looking at the fun of father and Aunt Xiao..." Before Gu Lin'er could finish her words, Li froze in place as if struck by lightning.
She turned around and looked at her daughter in disbelief, her voice trembling, "What did you say? Your father and what?"
Auntie Xiao?
Xiao family? Widow Xiao?
At this moment, there was a lively noise coming from outside, which seemed to further confirm Gu Lin'er's words.
Li suddenly felt dizzy. She held onto the wall, slowly stood up, and said through gritted teeth, "This bastard, wait and see how I deal with him!" After that, she walked out angrily.
Gu Lin'er hurriedly followed, holding Li and looking at her worriedly. When the villagers saw Li coming, they all made way for her.
When Li saw Gu Dong and Widow Xiao being pushed forward in dishevel, her face immediately turned red with shame. She rushed forward and slapped Gu Dong in the face, "You shameless old thing, you actually did such a thing!"
Widow Xiao saw that Li even beat her own man, and hurriedly tried to explain: "Sister Li, don't get me wrong, we are just..."
"Shut up! Who is your sister?" Li interrupted her. "You vixen, you came to our village with a big belly. I felt sorry for you because you were a widow at such a young age and had no place to stay. I ran around to take care of you. Is this how you repay me?"
Xiao's face showed a trace of shame and anger. She had never been humiliated like this before. She looked at Gu Dong awkwardly! If this guy is not dealt with cleanly, don't blame her for the consequences!
Gu Dong inadvertently glanced at the cruel look in Xiao's eyes, frowned, and quickly said: "Wife, you really misunderstood, there is really nothing between Xiao and me."
As he spoke, he winked at Xiao, "I just passed by Xiao's house, helped with some work, and sweated a little! Then I accidentally spilled some water when I was drinking, who knew that the villagers would misunderstand me like this!"
As Gu Dong spoke, he looked at the surrounding villagers with puzzled expressions. How could it be such a coincidence?
Xiao snorted in her heart, what a cunning man! But she still showed a pitiful expression on her face, "Sister Li, Dong Ge has always been a gentleman and has kept himself clean. You must believe him."
After hearing Gu Dong's explanation, Li's expression eased a little, but she still had doubts. She glared at Gu Dong and said, "It's better this way!"
Seeing that it was about to end badly, a villager was unhappy and stood up and said, "Mrs. Liu from the east village can testify that she saw Gu Dong enter Widow Xiao's house with her own eyes, and the door was locked!"
A man and a woman alone, why would they block the door if they were not going to do something bad? Although no one saw the scene, but didn't they block the door? The two of them were so disheveled, who would believe them if they said they were innocent?
Tsk, if he can fool people with this, then Li must be a blind man, right?
Granny Liu? Li paused. Granny Liu was a well-known gossipmonger in the village, always fond of gossiping. Could it be that she also made up this incident?
Li looked at Granny Liu and asked, "Granny Liu, please tell me the truth. What is going on?"
Mrs. Liu was amused by Li's questioning tone. Tsk, these stupid women believe whatever the men in the family say. They deserve to make money!
Seeing Gu Dong making a gesture, Mrs. Liu curled her eyes, adjusted her clothes in dissatisfaction, and when she saw that Gu Dong changed his gesture, she stroked her hair in satisfaction.
With a clever mouth, he could speak eloquently. "Oh, look at my broken mouth. I can't even make a single word clear! Blame me, blame me. Look at what's happening!"
After slapping her lips several times, Mrs. Liu finally spoke apologetically, "I was talking about Brother Dong who was repairing the pigpen for Widow Xiao. He was afraid that the pigs would run away, so he locked the door!"
"I'm so sorry, brother Dong. Please don't take it to heart. It's all because I'm not good at talking!"
Seeing this, Gu Dong quickly took the opportunity to say, "My fellow villagers, I, Gu, swear here that I have an absolutely innocent relationship with Xiao. I also have a son at home who is very talented and is going to take the imperial examination."
"How could I do such a stupid thing?"
"I hope you will show some mercy and not ruin my son's reputation."
After saying this, he sighed heavily, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Everyone looked at each other and began to whisper. After all, this involved Gu Qingyun's future. Now that he had entered Langhua Academy, he was about to become rich and powerful. No one wanted to make a big fuss at this time.
Li was tugged on the sleeve by Gu Lin'er, and she reacted and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Forget it, forget it, let's all go, it's just a misunderstanding."
Although there were still a few people who were not convinced, they could not continue to argue for the sake of face. Just when Gu Dong and Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When the storm was about to calm down temporarily, a louder noise came from the distance.
When Gu Dong and the others looked up, their pupils instantly shrank to the extreme, as if they had been extremely frightened, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily!
"Father-in-law, how are you?"
