Chapter 223 The Last Wish of a Second Married Man

Old Mrs. Zhou was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "My daughter serves the old and takes care of the young in your old Gu family. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Why can't she show some filial piety to me, her mother?"

"Is that a little bit of filial piety? Zhou Cuihe emptied out my son's family fortune to support your Zhou family. Do you dare to swear that Zhou Cuihe didn't bring the money back to you?"

The two old ladies went back and forth, and finally turned into mutual abuse.

The sun was too hot, and Chang'an was afraid that Old Lady Gu would get a heatstroke, so he put a wake-up talisman and a cooling talisman on her, and a truth-telling talisman on Old Lady Zhou.

Then as they quarreled, Old Mrs. Zhou started to spill all sorts of words, and she got so anxious that she quickly covered her mouth.

"My daughter used Gu Laoliu's 200 yuan to buy a job for her brother. Isn't that enough? She must have taken more. In order to get enough money to buy a job, she would give money home every month."

The crowd: ?_??

Old Man Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Old Lady Zhou, "What are you talking about? Shut up."

Unable to close her eyes at all, Old Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. Even with her mouth covered, she continued talking.

"Just shut up. The Gu family is so well off. What's wrong with Cuihe helping her brother? Isn't this what she should do?"

Crowd: Hiss!!!

How shameless! What the Gu family has is their business. What does it have to do with your Zhou family? Those who are well off can help their brothers and sisters appropriately. But if you empty your family's savings to help them, how can you still live like this?

Gu Laoliu waved his hand and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, since they are unwilling to hand it over, let's go find it ourselves."

There are only two siblings in the Zhou family, Zhou Niufen and Zhou Cuihe, so Zhou Niufen is treated like a treasure.

This scene now reflects the benefits of having many children in the family. Zhou Niufen and Old Man Zhou are a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, and an old man who is not as good as young people. Of course, no one can stop them.

Old man Zhou anxiously asked the villagers for help, "Are you just going to watch people from our village being bullied by people from other villages? If your family has problems in the future, who will be willing to help you?"

When asking for help, there is no attitude of asking, but it seems that it is natural for others to help him.

The onlookers in Muli Village did not buy Old Man Zhou's story. One lady spat on the ground and said, "Bah, Old Man Zhou, it is not up to you to decide whether we will have help in the future. Even if we need help, we will not look for you."

"That's right. It's our business whether we help you or not. The fact that the Gu family didn't beat you to death for all the immoral things you did is out of kindness."

Everyone was talking at once and criticizing Old Man Zhou. The situation was one-sided, and everyone was on the side of the Gu family.

The village chief of Muli Village arrived late. He already knew what had happened. If he had not been the village chief, he would not have bothered to come and would have gone to Nanpo in disgrace.

One can imagine how quickly the news of a girl from Muli Village murdering her husband in order to help her brother will spread throughout the area after today.

He felt a burning regret for the unmarried girls in Muli Village. It was an unexpected disaster and it would be difficult for them to get married in the future.

Because of one person, the reputation of the entire village was ruined, and he wanted to drive the Zhou family of four out of the village.

"Old Zhou, you took the money without Gu Laoliu's consent. You are not in the right anyway. Return the money to him."

He is a selfless village chief who stands on the side of reason rather than the villagers. The village chief PUAs himself in his heart.

Old Mrs. Zhou immediately jumped up and pointed at the village chief's nose and cursed, "How can you be a village chief? It's ok that you don't protect your own villagers, but you also side with the Gu family. They said that our family took his money, so is that right?

Is there any evidence? Who saw it? "

Crowd: "You said that yourself just now."

Mrs. Zhou:...

She slapped herself hard on the mouth. Why did she feel like she was possessed just now? Could it be that there was something unclean?

Old Mrs. Zhou felt a chill all over her body and got goose bumps. Her face instantly turned as pale as a ghost, and she scared herself.

No matter how unwilling Old Man Zhou was, the Zhou family was turned upside down by the four brothers of the Gu family. They found 390 yuan. I wonder how much money Zhou Cuihe took back to her parents' home from Gu Laoliu?

Brother Gu took all the money out of the yard. They were not afraid of being targeted by bad people because the Gu family was large and had no fear.

"Liu'er, the money is all here. Calculate how much Zhou Cuihe took from you. We only take back what we have. We don't even want the extra money."

Gu Laoliu wanted to say, no, he wanted them all.

But Brother Gu stopped him from doing this, so he had no choice but to tell the truth, "Two hundred and thirty yuan, six feet of new cloth, two pairs of new Liberation shoes, and a new pair of blue pants."

"They must have used all the things, so let's convert it into 20 yuan," Brother Gu quickly counted out 250 yuan from the 390 yuan and gave it to Gu Laoliu.

Changan squatted on the ground and covered his mouth with his hands, laughing secretly. Uncle Gu was really a talented person. He accurately calculated the number of his father's money.

Gu Laoliu: ...

Hear him say thank you.

Two hundred and fifty is two hundred and fifty. As long as someone gives it, he will take it no matter how much.

"Gu Laoliu, are you still a human being? I have been married to you for two years and even if I have not done anything good, I have worked hard. Why do you have to calculate it so meticulously?"

Zhou Cuihe suddenly yelled, scaring Gu Laoliu.

Is this woman crazy? Gu Laoliu looked at her like a fool. He was not a human being, and she didn't marry him. Why was it so difficult to settle the account?

"If you have a mental illness, go get treatment. You said you would marry me, do you have any evidence? Do you have a marriage certificate?"

Zhou Cuihe shot herself in the foot. At the beginning, she thought that if she had the chance, she could marry someone else, but having a marriage certificate would be inconvenient. She only regarded the original owner as a stepping stone and never really wanted to live a good life with him.

In fact, in this era, having a wedding banquet is also a recognized de facto marriage, but others are unwilling to testify for her, and no one stands on her side, which makes her truly experience what despair and helplessness are.

If Gu Laoliu took the money back, she would not be able to survive at home in the future. Her mother would definitely sell her for money to buy a job for her brother.

Zhou Cuihe couldn't hold back anymore. She cried and begged Gu Laoliu to forgive her, "I will never dare to do it again. Please don't abandon me."

Chang'an:...

How did her attitude change so quickly? I thought she would be able to hold on to her principles.

"No, I'm not that lucky. You should go find someone else."

Gu Laoliu happily collected the money and warned the Zhou family, "If you dare to come to the Gu family to make trouble again, I will report to the police and say that you have teamed up with Zhou Cuihe to commit murder and robbery. I will send you to eat peanuts."

A group of people came in a mighty procession and returned without recognizing any relatives.
