The villagers were all a little stunned.

Gu Xiang has always been an honest man. He is always taciturn in front of others and rarely talks loudly. It is strange that he dared to scold everyone in person today.

Gu Heng looked at Gu Xiang, his eyes slightly moist.

This was the first time in his life that he saw his second brother being so courageous, bursting out with courage to protect his younger brother.

He knew that his second brother must be very nervous.

Gu Xiang was indeed very nervous.

He prepared himself mentally several times before shouting out those words.

At this time, his face was flushed, even his neck was red.

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and spoke with a slightly trembling voice: "My fourth brother and I were not born by our parents at our request. Whether we can come into this world is not something we brothers can decide.

If I knew our mother was so selfish and vicious and didn't love us at all, I would rather not come into this world. But, can we choose? Uncles, can we choose? ! "

The villagers on the opposite side were speechless and looked embarrassed.

Gu Xiang took a few deep breaths and continued, "I only remember that my fourth brother and I started working when we were three years old, and we never had a day to eat for free. Gu De and Gu Rui were teenagers, but they were still playing around. All the good food, drinks and clothes were theirs, and my fourth brother and I never had a share!

In addition to working, my mother also found various reasons to beat and scold me and my fourth brother. Look, all the scars on our bodies were caused by my mother! "

Gu Xiang took off his shirt first, then tore open Gu Heng's clothes.

Gu Heng: ...Second brother, there is no need to be so honest.

Both men's sturdy bodies were covered with various old scars of varying sizes.

Looking at the criss-crossing scars, the villagers gasped.

Gu Xiang paused, raised his hand to wipe the red corners of his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "My fourth brother and I have been working since we were three years old. I am thirty-nine this year and my fourth brother is thirty-seven. We have worked like slaves for the old Gu family for thirty-six and thirty-four years respectively. In the end, we were both left with nothing, without taking a penny from them. Can this be used to repay her for giving birth to me?!"

"Second Brother Gu, can the grace of giving birth be calculated with money? It is priceless!" An old man stretched his neck and shouted loudly, with the blue veins on his neck exposed.

Gu Xiang wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Qinghuai.

For reasonable people, reasoning can straighten things out and ease the flow of emotions.

However, there is no need to continue to argue with those who are completely unreasonable, only stick to their own opinions, and deliberately pick on you. You can just use force and money to suppress them and make them bow their self-righteous heads.

Gu Qinghuai stepped forward, glared coldly at the villagers opposite him, and said loudly: "We have lived in the same village for decades, and everyone knows the truth, so there is no need to pretend to be noble in front of us.

My father and second uncle have made it clear that they brothers do not owe Liu Damai anything, it is Liu Damai who owes them!

Not to mention making Liu Damai kneel down and kowtow, even if Liu Damai's life was taken, it would not be enough to compensate for the harm she had caused to their brothers.

If anyone has any complaints about my father and second uncle, just say it. I'm listening carefully. Of course, I'll write down their names. I want to see who is so inconsiderate of my father and second uncle's suffering and is talking without any pain! Little Stone, go get the four treasures of the study!"

"Okay!" Qi Yuanshuo immediately responded and left.

Gu Heng looked at Gu Qinghuai, feeling both relieved and distressed. Huai'er must have had a hard time during the years when he was stupid, otherwise, how could she be reborn from the ashes and have such a drastic change in her personality?

From now on, he will take care of this family!

Gu Xiang was also very excited. Huai'er protected him in front of so many people!

The villagers' hearts skipped a beat. Is Gu Qinghuai angry?

If they had known this earlier, they would have kept their mouths shut.

Since they usually purchased wood ash and meat worms, a set of wooden tables and chairs were placed at the gate. Gu Qinghuai asked Gu Zhiyuan to move the wooden table and chairs out.

Qi Yuanshuo took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the table. Then he sat at the table, holding the pen, waiting to write down names.

Gu Qinghuai smiled as he looked at the villagers and said, "Go on, keep talking! If you think my father and second uncle are wrong, speak up!"

The villagers looked at each other and dared not say a word.

Who dares to say it? Everyone in the village knows that Gu Qinghuai is particularly vindictive.

If they offended her, they would have no chance to make money from her future endeavors.

Not to mention anything else, they earned several hundred coins just by selling wood ash and worms. In the past, they would not be able to earn this much money even if they worked hard all year round.

Some elderly people just refused to believe it and just as they were about to open their mouths, their sons and daughters-in-law covered their mouths tightly.

The son threatened him in a low voice: "If you dare to talk nonsense, don't look for me for your retirement in the future. If you offend Gu Qinghuai, I won't make any money, so how can I support you?"

The old man shut his mouth decisively.

Most people didn't dare to speak, only those who had already sinned against Gu Qinghuai were still whispering in a sarcastic tone.

For example, the families of Kuhuanai's eldest and second sons, Ding Honglian's family, Chen Xiuhua's family...

Tang Dahai's wife, Jin, and Tang Dajiang's wife, Liu, felt ashamed when they saw that Kuhuanai had gained a lot of weight in Gu Qinghuai's house and her stroke was almost cured.

Therefore, they will not miss any opportunity to bring down Gu Laosi's family.

Gu Qinghuai turned a deaf ear to these sarcastic remarks and continued to smile faintly.

While both sides were silent, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, "Hey, what's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Everyone turned around and saw Widow Liao leading a team of carriages and horses walking towards them.

The crowd immediately made way for a passage.

Three ox carts and a horse carriage were all filled to the brim.

The drivers were tall and rugged, with fierce looks.

Widow Liao hurriedly stepped forward and said to Gu Qinghuai with a flattering smile: "Xiao...Xiaohuai, this family said they came to look for you. I just happened to meet them and brought them here."

She had been looking for an opportunity to get along well with Gu Qinghuai, but she didn't expect to meet these people asking for directions as soon as she walked out of the village today.

She was so excited that she immediately and enthusiastically led the way for them.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Liao."

Widow Liao was so excited that she waved her hands repeatedly, "No...you're welcome, it's just a small thing."

The horse-drawn carriage and the ox-drawn cart stopped at the gate. The curtains of the carriages were opened and several people jumped out.

Gu Qinghuai immediately saw the tall and strong figure wearing a blue linen dress.

"Sister Cui?!" Gu Qinghuai exclaimed in surprise.

Cui Shishi also saw Gu Qinghuai, ran over quickly, took Gu Qinghuai's hand, and said, "Mrs. Gu San!"

Gu Qinghuai looked incredulous: "Why are you here?"

Cui Shishi laughed and said, "We have come to seek refuge with Miss Gu San!"

As soon as Cui Shishi appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone at the scene.

The truth is that this woman was too tall and strong. When she wore a linen skirt, she looked like an iron tower from top to bottom. Her face was full of flesh and she looked very fierce.

Cui Shishi

What surprised everyone even more was that Cui Shishi's voice was not rough at all, but gentle and even kind of pleasant to the ear.

Cui Shishi glanced at the scene and saw an old woman kneeling on the ground, surrounded by many villagers, so she asked, "Mrs. Gu San, what are you doing?"

Gu Qinghuai then told them about the relationship between Liu Damai and them, and how she had come to kneel down and cause trouble.

After listening to this, Cui Shishi bowed to Gu Heng, Zhao Ying and others.

When she saw Gu Heng's face, a look of surprise that was hard to conceal flashed in her eyes.
