Gu Dahu suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled Madam Chang back. He pressed his lips together and shushed her.
Soon, the discussion gradually became clearer.
“…Gu Dahe’s wife must have suffered retribution. Madam Yang must have come back to take revenge on her. Who asked her to be so vicious and evil? Do you think Gu Dahe will also suffer retribution?”
“Gu Dahe didn’t break his sister-in-law’s head and push her into the river, right? Otherwise, why was Jia Meizi the only one who got into trouble today?”
“Heh, you don’t know about this, right?” Another person said mysteriously. “Let me tell you. Gu Dahe was drunk some time ago and personally said that on the way to Qing’an Prefecture, he knocked his niece’s head and even snatched a tael of silver. I heard that his niece was already half-dead at that time. Do you think she died because he knocked her?”
“Oh? There’s such a thing?”
“That’s why I wondered if his niece would seek revenge on Gu Dahe.”
The two of them chatted for a while before suddenly getting up and leaving.
Gu Dahu stood where he was, deep in thought.
On the other hand, Madam Chang hurriedly walked around to look at the two people who were talking.
Unfortunately, she could only see the backs of the two men. They were wearing the clothes of ordinary villagers. She did not know who they were.
When she returned, she saw Gu Dahu’s eyes shining. He pulled her back to the room and whispered, “I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?”
“What is it?”
“Second Sister-in-law has harmed Eldest Sister-in-law. Isn’t there a retribution now? Then Second Brother has harmed Yundong. Shouldn’t he pay the price too?”
Madam Chang was stunned.
Gu Dahu cackled. Second Brother wanted Yundong’s life.
Of course, he could not take Second Brother’s life, but Second Brother’s silver…
The couple lowered their heads and began to discuss in detail.
On the other side, Ah Gou and Ah Zhu, who had been hiding, covered their mouths and laughed softly.
“It’s about time. Let’s go back today.”
“Sure thing.”
The two of them left Gu village silently.
Because of the Gu village was the combination of two villages, the other village had few people and was poor. After they returned from the wilderness, some houses could not be lived in, so some people moved to the empty houses in Gu village.
Therefore, there were always strangers coming in and out of this place, so the two of them were not so conspicuous.
The two of them returned to Jiangyu County and entered the inn.
In the end, they only saw Ah Mao waiting for them alone. Ah Mao and Ah Shu woke up early to look at the houses in the county city. After all, they could not leave for the time being, and it was inconvenient to stay in the inn all the time.
After looking around, they all moved over, leaving only Ah Mao here to bring them to the place.
The new courtyard was a little remote. They wouldn’t be staying there for long anyway.
Ah Gou was a little excited when he went in. After sitting down, he could not wait to tell them what had happened in Gu village. “That Jia Meizi really thought that she was possessed by a ghost. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. I’m dying of laughter.”
Actually, Ah Gou had indeed knocked her out and moved her to the river with Ah Zhu.
They originally wanted to move her to the place where Madam Yang had fallen into the water. There were large rocks there that could block people, and the same place looked more realistic.
However, there was someone there. After Ah Gou and Ah Zhu discussed, they found another place.
At that time, Jia Meizi was tied to a rope, and the other end of the rope was pulled by Ah Zhu, who hid in a tree..
