Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: I’m Here to Take Gouwa
Wei Tang had just been kicked by her and pushed in with his arm twisted. Looking at her outfit again, he inexplicably felt a bit intimidated by her.
He averted his gaze and said softly, "I haven’t done anything wrong. Isn’t it just because my sister is gone? There’s only her son left, and as Gouwa’s uncle, I came to see him and, by the way, bring the child home to raise."
The more he spoke, the more confident he became, "Yes, I came to take Gouwa with me. Where’s the child? You haven’t bullied him, have you? I’m his real uncle, much closer than you Hong Family people. He’s not without backing. I’m taking him with me to take good care of him in the future."
"Spare me." Aunt Hong regained her composure, spat on the ground, and said harshly, "You have such a kind heart? Back then, it was you who incited your parents, saying Dazhuang was dead, urging your sister to leave Gouwa behind and remarry. We didn’t agree, and you even brought your disreputable friends to threaten and intimidate us, forcibly taking Gouwa’s mother away. It was also you who said there was no money at home and wanted to sell Gouwa’s mother again. You’re so heartless, and now you dare say you’ll raise Gouwa? Do you think I’d believe you?"
"I..." Wei Tang was somewhat exasperated and embarrassed, "The past is past. Things are different now. Can’t I want to be good to Gouwa now? My sister is gone, and it’s only right for Gouwa to be with me. You’re just an old woman from the Hong Family. Gouwa doesn’t have much to do with the Hong Family. What right do you have to interfere so much?"
Aunt Hong sneered, "I may not be closely related to Gouwa, but Gouwa’s last name is Song, and he’s a member of the Song Family. Do you, an uncle from another family, think you can fight the Song Family for him? I’m telling you, Gouwa has been taken by the Song Family now. He’s not here with me."
"What? The Song Family has people?" Wei Tang was utterly shocked.
Aunt Hong raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Yes, he’s now living with his uncle and has nothing to do with you."
Wei Tang’s face turned very unpleasant. After a while, he muttered and cursed under his breath, preparing to leave.
However, Shu Yu had no intention of letting him off so easily. "Wait, we haven’t finished talking, where do you think you’re going?"
"What more is there to say? Didn’t I say I came to get Gouwa? Since he’s not here, there’s nothing for me to say."
Shu Yu didn’t want to haggle with him. She used the simplest method—grabbing Wei Tang’s arm as he passed by her, shoving a pill into his surprised open mouth, and closing his mouth to help him swallow it.
Wei Tang was in total disbelief, desperately scratching at his throat, "Cough, cough... What did you make me eat? Cough, cough."
"A poison that causes excruciating pain and eventually leads to bleeding from the seven orifices and death."
"You’re lying."
"If you don’t believe me, you can feel it. Isn’t there a burning sensation in your stomach right now? That’s the poison burning your insides. You only have one hour. If you don’t get the antidote in an hour, you’ll die!!"
Wei Tang touched his stomach, indeed feeling a growing warmth and sensation, and panic set in, making his legs weak.
Aunt Hong also turned pale, grabbing Shu Yu’s sleeve, "Lady Lu..."
"Don’t worry, I just want to ask him a few questions. If he answers honestly, naturally, I’ll give him the antidote. But if he doesn’t..."
"Ask, ask, ask; I promise to speak without holding anything back," Wei Tang kneeled down before Shu Yu could finish her threat.
