Chapter 316 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (16)
Seeing those legs, Zhou Shenyun wanted to see what was inside. There seemed to be many scars on the arms.
After lifting up the sleeve, Zhou Shenyun was stunned. The arm was intact and not broken... The hand of the woman holding the machete last night was not broken.
A vague premonition came over him, and he lifted up the woman's trouser legs. There were indeed quite a few scars on them, but his hands were shaking and he pulled the pants a little more, and saw that there was cloth and iron-fixed knee parts inside.
“It turns out that this is where the injury occurred.”
There was a little moisture in his eyes. He pulled down the woman's trouser legs, then got on the bed and lay sideways next to Gu Yuxi.
Perhaps it was the smell of Gu Yuxi that made him feel at ease, and Zhou Shenyun fell asleep quickly...
In Fengzhu Village, the second branch of the Gu family was in a state of unrest.
"I thought you were my family, but I didn't expect you to collude with Mei Xiaowu to seduce my husband. Tell me, where is my husband?"
When Wu Zhuang woke up, the sun was almost at its zenith, but she couldn't find Gu Zai'er or Hu Zhaomei.
She felt something was wrong at that time. After thinking about it again and again, she felt that this was done by the Gu family. When she came back and didn't see Hu Zhaomei and Mei Xiaowu, she became anxious and cursed.
"Zaijie is my brother, how could I possibly deceive him? Sister-in-law, you misunderstood."
"How could I have misunderstood? Don't think I didn't see you dividing the spoils. Don't you feel guilty for selling my husband to Yinghonglou?"
"How could this happen, sister-in-law? We are a clean farming family..."
"You're talking nonsense. Farmers are involved in the human flesh trade. You plan to sell Gu Yuxi's father and husband. I don't care about that, but you should never sell my husband."
"Nothing..."
Wu Zhuang took a kitchen knife and chopped on the door of the Gu family. The people in the second house were bullies and afraid of the strong. Who would dare to mess with Wu Zhuang, a shrew who often fought with others?
When the matter of Yinghong Tower was mentioned, the faces of the people from the second branch of the Gu family suddenly changed, and the surrounding villagers who were watching the fun began to discuss it in a buzz.
"It's not like the people from the second branch of the Gu family would do something like that."
"Tsk, after Miss Gu went to the army, the people from the second house have been bullying the father and son. What can't they do?"
"According to the laws of our dynasty, families with only one daughter and parents who support them are exempt from conscription. I guess the wrong person must have been arrested. Guda should have been arrested."
"I said at the beginning that it was impossible to arrest Miss Gu. Gu Da and Miss Gu are the same age. Maybe they really were arrested by mistake."
"They have been using the two men to do work for them for the past few years. Maybe they heard that the enemy was coming, so they sold them out."
"They are so inhumane. If Miss Gu were here, how could they dare to bully those two?"
"Didn't I hear from Wu Zhuang that this group of people are human traffickers and they even sold Zai Jie to Yinghonglou?"
"There are many families selling their children these days. It's ok to sell the refugees, but they even sell the children who are married out."
"..."
The villagers kept chattering, and Grandpa Gu couldn't stand it any more, so he stood up and said, "It's not your turn to interfere in our family affairs, get out of here."
"This isn't your house. Why are you so anxious? You dare not take responsibility for what you did. I think this matter has something to do with this old man."
"Yeah, I agree with you."
Wu Zhuang pointed the knife at Grandpa Gu and cursed: "Old bitch, you are the one who instigated these bastards to sell my husband. I will report to the police, and none of you will be able to escape."
Gu Da was outspoken and said loudly: "What does Gu Zai's disappearance have to do with us? We are selling Zhou Shenyun and those two money-losing goods."
"Aunt, you're wrong. A'niang and the others sold goods that lost money and made a lot of money... um!" A child just said this and was covered his mouth by Guda Fulang.
Seeing this, another child immediately said, "Sister is right. Dad also said he would use the money to buy me new clothes." His words made the people around him look at him with even more contempt and disdain.
Gudafrau glared at the two children and warned them, "Don't talk nonsense."
He knew in his heart that these words would cause unnecessary trouble, but the children were innocent and did not understand the deeper meaning.
"See, the child can still lie."
"This must have sold for a lot of silver."
At this time, the discussion in the crowd became louder and louder, and all kinds of unpleasant words filled the entire space. Gu Dafulang sighed helplessly. He knew that he could not change people's views and could only endure it all silently.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Stop arguing!"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a tall and mighty woman standing not far away. Her eyes were sharp and firm, which made people feel awe.
Gu'er couldn't bear to swallow his anger. Wu Zhuang was rude to begin with, so why should they bear these insults?
"Wu Zhuang, I, Gu Er, am not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. You came to my house when your husband was missing. How come you are not the one crying thief?"
"Gu'er, you are the most cunning and treacherous. You must be afraid that my wife and I will disturb you when you divide the money, so you did such a thing." Wu Zhuang pointed at Gu'er and cursed angrily.
Gur responded innocently: "Words are not enough. Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence? We will not take the blame for slandering us without any evidence."
Gu Dafulang echoed, "That's right! For so many years, you rarely go back to your parents' home, but you came back yesterday. I think you planned it yourself."
Gur's husband also chimed in, "Sister-in-law, we are also worried about the missing person, but you scold us without knowing the truth, which is really outrageous."
Wu Zhuang was so angry at the Gu family's shamelessness that she was shaking all over. She widened her eyes and said with gritted teeth, "Okay! You dare to do it but not take responsibility for it! I think you are the ones who hid Zaiyi and want to keep the money for yourself!"
Gu Er quickly waved his hands, looking aggrieved: "Sister-in-law, please don't talk nonsense! How could we do such a thing? Zaiyi is our relative, we hope he is safe more than anyone else."
Gur's husband also pretended to be angry and said, "Yes! Although our family is poor, we would not do such a heartless thing. Sister-in-law, you have wronged us like this. How can we live our lives in the future?"
Guda Fulang even added fuel to the fire, saying, "Sister-in-law, you are slandering us like this, are you trying to take this opportunity to discredit us so that everyone will sympathize with you and give you the money?"
"You...you guys!"
Wu Zhuang was so angry at the Gu family's shameless behavior that she almost fainted. She pointed at them with trembling fingers, unable to utter a word.
At this time, the surrounding villagers gathered around and watched this farce.
"Be a good person."
Some people pointed fingers at the Gu family, while others advised Wu Zhuang to calm down and not be impulsive.
"It was Wu Zhuang who directed and acted in it herself!"
However, the Gu family still shamelessly accused Wu Zhuang, leaving her speechless.
