Chapter 164 My Hands Are Trembling
Before they could get a reply, a gust of wind came straight at them. Lin Cai, Lin Bao, and Gu Dachui watched as Gu Jinniu smoothly dodged the gust of wind.
Immediately afterwards, the two dark figures started fighting in the courtyard, and the three people who witnessed this scene were stunned.
Everyone in Gu Family Village knew that Gu Zhan knew martial arts, but how could Gu Jinniu, a farmer, know them too?
Lin Bao hadn't expected to witness this scene. He called Gu Dachui over and asked, "What's going on? Is that guy your uncle?"
Gu Dachui didn't know what to say after hearing this. He wanted to say something, but Gu Jinniu was just a farmer.
He wanted to say no, but that face and that person were exactly the same as Gu Jinniu!
The two men in the darkness fought fiercely, and Scarface and Flower Girl also came out of the house.
Scarface saw the dark figures fighting and asked, "What's going on? Why are they fighting? And who's the other person?"
But after he finished asking his question, no one answered. Gu Jinniu certainly wanted to take Lin Cai away, but then Gu Zhan and Lin Bao suddenly appeared.
During the fight, he glanced at Lin Cai several times, and Gu Zhan would then aim his sword directly at Lin Cai's eyes, but the sword would dodge several times just before hitting the target.
Gu Jinniu completely blended into the darkness, and while fighting back, he said, "You like her."
It's not a question.
As soon as he said that, Gu Jinniu clearly felt that the other party's strength and speed had increased.
He laughed, laughed out loud, and when Gu Zhan attacked again, Gu Jinniu flashed into the darkness.
"Gu Zhan, she can never be yours."
These were the last words Gu Jinniu left behind when he disappeared.
The old lady had passed away, so we had to notify the Gu family. Not long after, the village chief arrived.
He looked around the main room: "What happened? Everything was fine yesterday, how could it all suddenly..."
The Gu family members were all in a bad mood, and no one answered the village chief's question. He had only come to go through the motions and then left.
When someone dies in the village, it needs to be reported to the authorities, and the cause of death must be determined.
He had already gone to the Gu family once, but had not gotten any results, so he turned around and went to Old Gu's house.
Speaking of which, the old lady is still a member of the Gu family. Since such a big thing happened to her, why didn't any members of the Gu family show up?
When the village chief arrived, the gate of Old Gu's house was tightly closed, and it seemed that no one in the family was home.
What he didn't know was that he thought no one was home, but in fact everyone was home, just that no one came out.
Gu Jinniu sat in the chair with his eyes closed and didn't say anything. Li Guixiang stood beside him, not daring to move or make a sound.
Gu Jiao'er looked at her father and took off her headscarf: "The person is already dead, aren't Father and Mother going to pay their respects?"
Her hair had grown quite a bit, and it looked like a modern-day bob, but in ancient times, such hair was still considered unacceptable.
Hearing Gu Jiao'er's words, Gu Jinniu opened his eyes: "What are you doing here?"
"Dad, what you're saying is ridiculous. No matter what, you're still my dad. Your mother, my grandma, has passed away. As her granddaughter, I should at least do something to show my support!"
Hearing this, Gu Jinniu remained silent, looking at Gu Jiao'er dangerously: "Speak, how much did you hear?"
Although he usually speaks in his room, he doesn't believe that no one outside can hear what he says.
If someone is determined to listen, no amount of defense can stop them, especially when it comes to a family living together.
"Dad, what are you saying? We're all family. What can't I listen to? Besides, the voice was so loud, it's impossible for me not to hear it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guixiang turned pale. She hadn't expected that what was happening here could be heard next door.
Doesn't that mean...?
Gu Jinniu suddenly laughed when he heard this.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, since you already know, then you should know what to do, so..."
The father and daughter were in cahoots, each with their own motives. Upon hearing their words, Li Guixiang immediately lowered her head.
She still thought her daughter was innocent and well-behaved, but she never expected that she was no longer so.
Lin Cai already knew the cause of the old lady's death last night; it was Scarface who told her that the old lady was smothered to death with a blanket.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai clenched her fists. She wanted to know who could be so ruthless.
She's just an old lady.
What exactly is hindering him?
Her first suspect was Gu Jinniu, who had come over the previous night, but Lin Cai hadn't thought of going to find him yet.
Li Guixiang then delivered herself to our door.
She ran over and knelt directly in front of the old lady's coffin, crying and wailing, looking like she was in the deepest grief.
"Mother! What happened?! You were perfectly fine! How could something have suddenly happened to you?"
“It’s my fault, I’m unfilial. I shouldn’t have done those bad things, I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I haven’t even taken you back to enjoy your retirement yet, and suddenly you…”
"Oh dear, my mother! How could you be so unlucky! Your grandson hadn't even become a high-ranking official yet, and you had to leave us like this!"
Li Guixiang sat on the ground, slapping her thighs, crying and wailing. Everyone present just watched, and no one went forward to help her up.
Lin Cai came out of the room and looked at Li Guixiang: "Where is Gu Jinniu?"
"Hey Lin, what do you mean? Mother just died, and you're already thinking about your uncle?"
This makes it sound as if Lin Cai and Gu had an affair, and that's why the old lady died.
Lin Cai coldly looked at Li Guixiang: "Go back and tell Gu Jinniu that if you're going to hide, you'd better hide well, and don't let me catch you."
"Otherwise, I'll let him know what it means to beg for death but not be able to."
After she finished speaking, she called Scarface in and pointed at Li Guixiang on the ground: "Throw this woman out of here."
Scarface looked reluctant, but he still walked over. However, before he could touch Li Guixiang, Li Guixiang stood up on her own.
"Lin Cai, what do you mean? You're a member of the Gu family, but am I not?"
“My mother died in your house, and I haven’t even held you accountable yet. Now you want to kick me out? I’m telling you, no way.”
"I will stay here with my mother until she is buried, otherwise I will not leave."
Li Guixiang seemed determined to stay in the Gu family. After listening to what she said, Lin Cai looked at Li Guixiang.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how Mother died?"
Upon hearing this, Li Guixiang froze, and if you looked closely, you could see her hands trembling.
