Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 287: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 15

"Qianqian, when we get there, stay away from your grandparents, okay?"

This will prevent these two from causing any trouble and involving Qianqian.

"I understand, mother." Gu Qian nodded obediently. Even if she didn't say it, Gu Qian wouldn't move forward.

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei like Gu Xi as much as they hate Gu Qian.

According to folklore, having one of the twins is considered unlucky.

Gu Xi and Gu Qian were born on the same day and are both members of the Gu family, so it was natural for them to make such associations. What's more, Zhao Yue'er brainwashed them and whispered in their ears every day.

So much so that they firmly believed that Gu Xi was born with gold in his mouth and brought good luck, while Gu Qian was born unlucky and brought bad luck.

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei looked at Gu Qian with eyes that weren't eyes and mouth that weren't mouth. In short, they were dissatisfied with everything she did.

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin occasionally took Gu Qian there. They would not let her get close to the main hall, saying it was unlucky; if she got even a little closer to them, she would be scolded to the point of crying.

They even persuaded Gu Yong to sell Gu Qian or give her away more than once.

Of course Gu Yong was unwilling to do so and he would immediately rebuke him every time. Seeing his firm attitude and bad tone, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei did not dare to say anything more.

Gu Yong didn't dare tell Li Xiuqin about this matter, and he tried his best to keep it a secret, even not allowing Li Xiuqin to be alone with them, for fear that she would know about it.

But in fact, Li Xiuqin already knew it, that's why she hated these people so much.

After a while, Li Xiuqin and Gu Qian returned to the village entrance.

At this time, some people at the entrance of the village had dispersed, leaving only the village chief and his men standing there to deal with subsequent matters.

Looking at the few people who were gradually losing their strength on the ground, the village chief said, "Brother Gu, please accept my condolences!"

Seeing that they still had no reaction, he spoke again, "No matter what, let's bury him first! The county magistrate has issued a death order, no funeral ceremonies are allowed, just bury him in the dirt!"

After hearing what the village chief said, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei burst into tears again.

"My poor son!"

"How can you be so cruel? The old man is sending the young away!"

"You are so stupid! How can you do such a robbery?"

Hearing the crying and shouting again, the village chief also looked reluctant.

Then he shook his head helplessly and said to his son and several juniors standing nearby: "Go and give them a hand."

"Yes, Dad!"

"Yes, village chief!"

Several people immediately stepped forward and pulled away Gu Ming and Zhao Mei who had fallen on the corpse. Seeing this, Gu Yong walked away on his own without anyone pulling him away.

The rest of the people immediately moved the body onto a long cart and drove it to the cemetery in the back mountain.

At this time, Li Xiuqin brought Gu Qian to Gu Yong's side.

"Brother Yong, how are you? Are you okay?" Li Xiuqin asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Gu Yong chuckled and shook his head, then picked up Gu Qian.

"Brother Yong, what are you going to do next? Dad, Mom, and Gu Xi... give me a clear outline." Li Xiuqin asked softly.

"What should we do? We should live the same way as before."

"But...will my parents..."

"In their hearts, Gu Xi is probably more important than me, their son! They must have a lot of money on hand, and as soon as I cry poor, they will definitely stay away from me." Gu Yong said sarcastically.

In fact, Gu Yong’s attitude towards them is really complicated.

When he heard that they might be executed, he was really scared and panicked, and hoped that they could survive.

But they were fine now, and he no longer had that feeling and could continue to think rationally again.

Hearing this, Li Xiuqin felt a little relieved.

As long as Gu Yong doesn't let down his guard, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Soon, they arrived at the back mountain.

Because they were talking at the back of the crowd, they were a few steps behind.

By the time they caught up, they were already digging the hole.

"Village chief, I beg you, let me see Zhier again!" Zhao Mei cried and struggled.

However, no matter how she struggled, she could not escape the shackles of an adult man.

"Zhao Mei, I can't do anything about it. This is the order of the county magistrate. The burial must be done immediately. I have already given you time. You can't delay any longer."

After saying that, he waved his hand and had people put the two bodies into the pit and buried them.

At this time, Gu Xi, who had not reacted or made a sound, saw Zhao Yue'er being thrown into the pit and suddenly rushed over from beside Zhao Mei.

"Mom, why are you bullying me? Don't throw me into the dirt, just go away!" Gu Xi rushed into the pit and stood in front of Zhao Yue'er to protect her.

Several people who were preparing to fill the hole were startled and the hoe almost hit Gu Xi's head.

The village chief's son was surprised. He put down his hoe, picked up Gu Xi and put him back to Zhao Mei.

"Your mother went to another place, so she needs to be buried in the ground. Kid, don't go there again, otherwise you will get hurt." The village chief stood by and persuaded patiently.

"Just keep going!"

Watching the sand gradually covering Zhao Yue'er, Gu Xi cried and screamed, punching and kicking in an attempt to break free from the village chief's son's restraints.

"No! Don't pour the dirt on me!"

However, no one listened to her cries anymore.

Soon, a small mound of earth appeared.

"Dad, it's OK."

"Yes!" The village chief nodded, then turned to Gu Ming and Zhao Mei and said, "Let's go to your room. We need to talk about some things alone."

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei collapsed on the ground. The series of blows left them unable to say anything.

The village chief shook his head helplessly and said, "Help them walk."

The group walked back again, and Gu Qian's family followed behind them silently without saying a word.

When they arrived at the place, the village chief dismissed all other irrelevant people and left only his son by his side.

In addition to them, there were also Gu Ming, Zhao Mei, Gu Xi and Gu Yong's family of three in the house.

"Brother Gu, I won't waste any more words. The county magistrate has conveyed that the descendants of Gu Zhi will never be allowed to serve as officials or engage in business. If they disobey the order, they will be killed without mercy."

The village chief sighed, "It can't be helped. It's your Gu Zhi's fault for doing such a thing, and the Fifth Prince found out about it."

After hearing this, Gu Ming looked desperate.

Zhao Mei hugged Gu Xi and cried bitterly, muttering: "What should I do? How will our family live in the future..."

Gu Yong was listening at the side and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Gu, I've said everything I need to say. Just be more positive. Isn't your girl Xixi a lucky charm? Maybe things can turn around."

The village chief didn't want to make things too absolute, and his original intention was just to comfort them, so he mentioned Gu Xi. Who knew that it would give them hope.

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei's eyes lit up instantly. They looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

"I understand. Thank you, village chief." Gu Ming said.

"In that case, I have conveyed what I should have conveyed. We will leave now." The village chief stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yong.
