Chapter 930: The Final Outcome

Throw them away!

Elder Gu and Gu Youfu were shocked, staring in horror at Ms. Zhang. This woman actually wanted to throw them away; how could she dare?

Gu Chengli felt a sense of relief hearing this, but he didn’t show it. He just cried and said, "Mother, both Dad and Grandpa are paralyzed. If we throw them away, wouldn’t that be..." killing them?

No, it would be worse than killing them directly.

If they encountered wild dogs or beasts from the mountains, they would be torn apart. Even if they didn’t, just being left here, unable to move, they would starve to death.

Ms. Zhang held Gu Chengli’s hand and chuckled, "My son, I know you have a kind heart, but we have no choice now. Besides, we’re not abandoning them; we’re just temporarily leaving them here. Once we find Sister Rong and get Zhan Family’s silver, we’ll come back to bring them to enjoy a good life. What a great thing!"

Gu Chengli was sure that Ms. Zhang was truly mad. But he didn’t want to carry the burden of Elder Gu and Gu Youfu either, so he cried and tacitly agreed.

Elder Gu and Gu Youfu were almost scared to death, crying out anxiously, but they couldn’t make a sound. They just opened their mouths, looking like they were yelling.

Gu Chengli knelt before them, holding their hands, and cried, "Grandpa, Dad, don’t worry. Once we find Sister Rong and get the silver, we’ll bring the Zhan family’s servants to fetch you. You will stay here for a while."

Ah ah ah!

Elder Gu and Gu Youfu screamed internally, stay your mother, how could anyone live in the wild?

They wanted Gu Chengli to take them away, but after shedding his crocodile tears, Gu Chengli released their hands and left.

Ms. Zhang laughed, her eyes gleaming sinisterly in the night, "Dad, Youfu, be good and stay here. Don’t wander off, or we won’t be able to find you when we return, and you won’t be able to come with us to the Zhan family for a better life."

Crazy woman, crazy woman!

Elder Gu and Gu Youfu wished they could eat Ms. Zhang alive. How dare this bitch do this?!

Gu Youfu glared at Ms. Zhang, threatening her with his eyes, but Ms. Zhang wasn’t afraid of Gu Youfu at all. Before leaving, she sat on Gu Youfu and slapped his face hard, again and again.

Slap slap slap!

"You dog, are the women in the brothel good to sleep with? I’ve been with you for so many years and haven’t had a good life. You have a little silver, and you run to the brothel to give money to those sluts."

"You can’t blame me; blame your son, his heart is wicked. If he wasn’t so heartless, would he agree to leave you two?"

"Sister Rong is the reliable one. I’m going to find Sister Rong to become the Old Sealed Lord. You can wait to be eaten by wild dogs."

At this moment, what Ms. Zhang said seemed normal again, but she no longer trusted Gu Chengli. She saw through his nature. This little bastard was indeed Elder Gu’s grandson, just like Elder Gu, selfish and only caring for himself.

After beating Gu Youfu, Ms. Zhang looked at Elder Gu and said with a smile, "Dad, don’t blame me. If you ended up like this, blame yourself ... This is retribution for helping Liu Shiliu kill Mrs. Fei!"

She stared at him and asked, "Don’t say you didn’t know, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it. The doctor said her illness worsened after drinking the medicine. Her condition worsened, yet you still brought her medicine. What is this, if not intent to kill?"

Ms. Zhang sneered, "Ha, the thoughts of you dog men, I know them best. Isn’t it just because you feel like you’re being called a freeloader, and you want to kill Mrs. Fei to reasonably take her dowry? Mrs. Fei’s mother was blind to marry her daughter to you."

"So your current fate is your deserved retribution, you can’t blame me. I am avenging Mrs. Fei, doing a good deed. You just wait for Mrs. Fei to come and claim your life!"

Ms. Zhang kept scolding Elder Gu, speaking of retribution and cause, trying to absolve herself of guilt, feeling no burden in her heart.

After frightening Elder Gu half to death, she left.

Gu Chengli was waiting for her in the distance. Seeing her come, he said, "Mother, wait here for me. I’m going to say a few words to Dad and Grandpa."

Ms. Zhang smiled, "My son is so kind, go ahead."

Gu Chengli ran back to Elder Gu and Gu Youfu. Seeing him, they were overjoyed, thinking he had a change of heart and came to take them, but unfortunately, Gu Chengli only said one thing to them, "Grandpa, Dad, it was all my mother’s idea. If you want to claim a life, find her; I’m innocent."

After saying this, he made a few bows to them and ran off.

Elder Gu and Gu Youfu were so angry they spat blood, wanting to call Gu Chengli back, but they couldn’t make any sound.

At this moment, Elder Gu truly regretted it.

Retribution, retribution, if only he had known, he shouldn’t have done that to Mrs. Fei... But the people in the ten miles and eight villages all said he relied on Mrs. Fei to live in a green brick tile house, to have fields and land, and silver to do business.

Why would they say that?

He is Mrs. Fei’s husband, and Mrs. Fei’s family is childless. They would rely on him for a lifetime. What’s wrong with spending her dowry?

He never meant to harm her, he just wanted to marry another woman to make her angry, to make her yield. But that bitch Liu Shiliu switched the medicine, and by the time he realized it, Mrs. Fei was already in too much pain, and there was a rotten odor on her body.

It was that severe, anyway, it couldn’t be cured, right? Then, that was the only way.

Overall, he was not at fault, it was Liu Shiliu’s fault. He’s a good husband, a good father, at least he didn’t let Gu Dashan starve to death, even got Ms. Cui to marry him.

It was Gu Dashan who was unfilial, in his heart he only regarded Third Son Gu as his father, never cared for his real father.

Elder Gu kept telling himself he was innocent, begging Mrs. Fei not to seek his life.

But Mrs. Fei still came.

In the darkness, she had several pairs of eyes, those eyes glowing faintly green, staring at him, as if questioning him: Why did you hurt me? Why did you abuse my two children? Why did you use my father and brother’s compensation silver to raise Liu Shiliu’s child?!

...

After Gu Chengli and Ms. Zhang threw away Elder Gu and Gu Youfu, they sneaked into the town under cover of darkness, found a house in a secluded area, and broke in to steal money.

However, they made too much noise when turning over the bedside cabinet, waking up the old woman on the bed. She saw them and shouted, "Someone..."

The scream wasn’t fully out before Gu Chengli knocked her out with a stone.

There was an old man on the bed too, just waking up from the noise, and Gu Chengli knocked him out as well.

This house seemed to have only two elderly living in it. After knocking them out, Gu Chengli and Ms. Zhang immediately took over a dozen taels of broken silver they found, along with rice, flour, meat, and the chicken from the coop, and fled.

Gu Chengli was overjoyed holding the dozen taels of silver, "Didn’t expect two old folks to have so much silver, this family lives quite well."

And these dozen taels of silver made Gu Chengli realize a way to make money, so he continued stealing with Ms. Zhang all the way towards Jinning Prefecture.
