86 chapter 86 Facing The Problem
âThey are. They went over as soon as the people over there came. Otherwise, they would have already started fighting instead of just crying and making a scene.â Sixth Aunt Gu replied.
âThank you for telling us, but we still have to go.â Gu Chengrui stood up and said.
âEh, youâre still going there even after this? Arenât you afraid of getting entangled in it? â
âWe canât avoid it, be it a blessing or a disaster. Since it has already happened, we have to face it.â Gu Chengrui bowed to her and picked up the hen, walking out with Zhou Ying.
Sixth Aunt Gu looked at their backs and shook her head. At the same time, she despised Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao even more. They were such a good young couple, but they were almost driven to death by them.
âNo, I have to go and take a look. I canât let them be bullied again.â
Thinking of this, she poured herself a glass of cold water and gulped it down. After that, she locked the door and hurriedly followed.
After the young couple managed to squeeze in, they realized that the number of people in the house was no less than the number outside. They were all sitting there with small stools, as if they were planning to live here if they werenât reimbursed.
Gu Chengxi carried a copper pot and shuttled between the crowds, pouring water for them and carefully serving them.
The two looked at each other and then walked into the house.
When the patriarch saw them coming in with their things, he stood up and said disapprovingly, âWhy are you guys here? Arenât you supposed to be making tofu?â
âI donât know if I can continue.â Gu Chengrui laughed dryly. He did not hide the fact that they had been stopped and threatened to hand over the recipe for the braised intestine.
âWhat, the Qiao family has set their sights on you?â Mrs. Qiao said with anger.
When Mrs. Liu and the others heard that, they gradually weakened their crying and perked up their ears to listen.
âWell, if I didnât know some fighting skills, maybe you would have to collect our bodies tomorrow.â Gu Chengrui nodded.
The patriarchâs face turned extremely ugly after hearing this. This Qiao family was getting increasingly excessive and was planning to continue opposing their clans for more generations. Then, he asked, âSo what do you plan to do? You canât keep hiding like this. Theyâll definitely come to you. â
âLetâs wait for my father and second uncle to wake up first.â Gu Chengrui looked at Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye and asked, âBy the way, have Father and Second uncle woken up yet?â
âNo,â the two men shook their heads in unison.
After that, Gu Chengye continued, âBut their body temperatures have returned to normal, so they should wake up sooner or later. You two should have a seat, donât just stand. â
After saying that, he asked the women to squeeze out a bench for them.
âThank you, Chengye.â Gu Chengrui carried the things in his hands to the foot of the wall and then sat on the bench with Zhou Ying.
âUncle, Grandpa village chief, did the village investigate yesterdayâs incident? Do you know who did it?â he asked. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat do you think?â The patriarch asked.
âI think itâs the Qiao family. If the robbers really did it, they wouldnât hurt the hostage. â
âBut we donât have any evidence, so you must be careful.â
âI will,â Gu Chengrui paused for a moment and nodded. They seemed to have also guessed that the Qiao family had done it but just had no evidence.
However, even if there were enough evidence, it would be useless. The Qiao family must have someone to rely on since they dared to be so arrogant. The person backing them was not someone the Gu family could deal with in their current state.
There seemed to be only two ways to solve the Qiao familyâs problems; either they secretly snuffed them out or they found a more powerful backer to oppress the Qiao family completely. Otherwise, they would never have another peaceful day in their life.
