How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 6 A Mess

Qian Laifu certainly didn't want to take his entire family to the underworld. But wealth was right in front of him. "You...you're really my father?"

Gou Sheng kicked Qian Laifu again. "I went through all that trouble to come up here and save you guys, and you actually doubt that I'm your father. When you first got married, one day just before dawn, you wanted to get intimate with your wife, but you found that she was bleeding a lot from her lower body. You didn't even put on your clothes before you went to knock on my door. As soon as I opened the door, you hugged me and started shaking like a leaf."

“I asked you what happened, and you said you stabbed your wife to death. Your mother collapsed on the bed when she heard that. I kicked you to the ground, and only after kicking you did I ask you why you stabbed your wife to death. You said you accidentally used too much force last night. I thought something was wrong, so I asked you what you used to stab her? You said…”

"Dad, Dad, Dad, you're my dad, you're my dad." Hearing about the foolish things he'd done in his youth, Qian Laifu wanted to disappear. "Dad, can't you talk about something else?"

Gou Sheng glared at Qian Laifu. "You think I wanted to say something? If I were to say something else, you'd better think about whether you've told anyone else, and whether they'll spread it around?"

"I can see it now, you can't let go of this wealth deep down. Fine, I still have two sons, even if your branch of the family dies out, I won't be without an heir. I'm leaving, you better hurry up and bring your bunch of idiots down here to serve me."

After saying that, Gou Sheng closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.

Qian Laifu panicked instantly. "Father, Father, don't go, I can let go, I can let go. Father, Father, Father..."

Qian Laifu shouted and shook Gou Sheng.

Gou Sheng sat up with a dark expression.

Qian Laifu breathed a sigh of relief. "Dad, I'll go and break off the engagement tomorrow."

"Fool! If you go and break off the engagement, won't you be slapping the county magistrate in the face? It'll be easier for the county magistrate to deal with you and your bunch of idiots than to crush an ant."

"What...what...what should we do?"

"I just asked why the Tang family gave you two thousand taels of silver?"

"In order to lure the bandits here."

"Then why don't you just take those two thousand taels with you?"

"Take him away? Take him where?"

"Of course, you'll take it wherever you go."

"Where do I take it?"

"Hmm." Gou Sheng nodded. "The Tang family's attitude leaves you no room to refuse, and you can't ignore the lives of others for Chunhua's sake. Right now, you can only take that death warrant with you."

“If you leave with that death warrant, the bandits will have no reason to come knocking. The Tang family can't ask your wife and the others for another death warrant. If they do, and your wife and the others are killed by the bandits, anyone who thinks about it will know that the Tang family did it on purpose.”

Qian Laifu thought about it and realized it was true. "Dad, you're smarter than before."

Gou Sheng glared at Qian Laifu. "I'm smart. After you break the Tang family's killer move, you can take Gou Sheng and follow them. Let's see why the Tang family insists on sending Chunhua to their house."

"Why bring Gousheng along? Gousheng is still a baby."

Gou Sheng glared at Qian Laifu again. "Why do you think that is? Gou Sheng is the only one in the family who feels that something is wrong with this."

"..." Qian Laifu recalled the questions Gou Sheng had asked him. "Gou Sheng is in poor health."

"Weak? What's so weak about her? She's the fattest person in the whole family."

Qian Laifu: "..." I should have made less egg drop soup for Gousheng.

Seeing that Qian Laifu was still hesitating, Gousheng said, "I will bless her. Also, if I want to tell you anything in the future, I will tell you through Gousheng. You have to listen to Gousheng."

"This……"

"Stop hesitating, it's settled then. I'm going out for a bit, you tell your wife what I just said. Your wife is getting old, if she finds out you ran off with the money, she'll be frantic with worry." After saying that, Gousheng was about to lie down on the bed.

Qian Laifu quickly grabbed Gou Sheng's arm. "Dad, Dad, don't go!"

Gou Sheng rubbed his forehead helplessly. "I'm not leaving, I'm just going out for a bit."

"Why are you going out? Dad, I'm your own son, you can't just abandon me." His father always liked to act like a patriarch when he was alive. If he suddenly felt it wouldn't be so bad to have his entire family serving him early... Gou Sheng glared at Qian Laifu. "Why? I'm the father-in-law, and your wife is the daughter-in-law. Can a father-in-law stand in his daughter-in-law's room and watch her get up?"

So it was to avoid suspicion. "Dad, even ghosts care about this?"

"So what if he's a ghost? Ghosts have their own virtues, you know?" After saying that, Gou Sheng closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.

After waking up Granny Tian, ​​Qian Laifu told her that her father-in-law had come from the underworld to warn the Tang family that they had ill intentions.

Granny Tian was both shocked and furious. "How could the Tang family be so wicked? Is it really Father who has come up here?"

Qian Laifu nodded. "Only my parents know about that." He forgot that he had also told Gousheng.

Before Gousheng turned two, he was often sick. When he was sick, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to be comforted.

Qian Laifu didn't know how to comfort children, so he told Gousheng stories. After telling them too many, he ran out of stories, so he told them his own embarrassing stories.

When Qian Laifu said this, Granny Tian believed him. Even she didn't know that Qian Laifu had done such a foolish thing when he was young.

Granny Tian dressed herself up as quickly as possible and urged Qian Laifu to invite the old man in.

Qian Laifu walked to the door and whispered, "Dad."

It took Gou Sheng a while to sit up in bed.

When Granny Qian saw her "father-in-law" come in, she was about to kowtow to him.

Gousheng quickly said, "No kowtowing, go kowtow at my grave. I'm on your body right now. If you kowtow to me, not only will I accept it, but Gousheng will too. How can Gousheng accept your courtesy?"

Qian Laifu quickly grabbed Granny Tian's collar: "Yes, yes, yes. We can't kowtow now, we can't kowtow."

Granny Tian quickly stood up straight. "No more kowtowing, no more kowtowing. Father, you've gone through so much. If it weren't for you..."

"Alright. Stop talking." Granny Tian was interrupted by Gou Sheng before she could finish speaking. "I can't stay up there for too long. Let's quickly discuss the details."

Granny Tian and Qian Laifu: "Okay."

After discussing the details, the "old man" left.

Before leaving, he told Granny Tian and Qian Laifu that he had told Gousheng everything, and Gousheng understood. So the two of them didn't need to explain to Gousheng anymore.

Granny Tian and Qian Laifu were speechless. Her father-in-law/father-in-law was truly worried sick about them. She would definitely burn more paper money for her father-in-law/father-in-law in the future.

The next day, as Madam Tang was enjoying her tea, a maidservant entered. "Madam, the person who delivered the goods to Qianjia Village has returned."

Madam Tang casually said, "Now that you're back, go and rest."

"They said they had something important to report."

“What important business could they possibly have? They just want a few coins as a reward. Give them some.”

"Yes," the maid replied and left.

A moment later, the maidservant came in again. "Madam, they say that Miss Qian's grandfather ran away with Miss Qian's betrothal money. They also say that the Qian family is now in complete chaos."

"What?!" Madam Tang's face darkened instantly. "Say that again."

The maid repeated what she had just said.

bump!
Madam Tang slammed her teacup down on the table. "What a shameless scoundrel! I held him in such high regard, and he's already throwing away all his dignity for a mere two thousand taels of silver."

The young maid also felt that Qian Laifu was too short-sighted. "Madam, what do you think of this matter..."
