My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

It's so inhumane.

Gu Erniu quickly found his own water bucket.

Half the bucket of water was poured onto the man on the ground.

The water in the bucket was icy cold, and the man on the ground was awakened by the splashing water.

"Hey, who the hell threw cold water on me? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

Seeing the person on the ground wake up, Niu Cuihua was so scared that she quickly turned her face away.

Uncle Dazhu kicked the man on the ground fiercely and said angrily, "Where did this jerk come from to steal from our Gu Village!"

Perhaps it was Uncle Dazhu's voice that completely woke the man up, and only then did he realize that he had been tied up.

"Let me go now, I didn't do anything, why did you tie me up?" the man said, looking around.

He said he did nothing, and Gu Lili believed him.

After all, as soon as the man opened the door, she blinded him with pepper spray.

However, if I didn't have pepper spray, it might not be the case.

Niu Dali finally saw his sister in the crowd, "Sister, quickly call the people in your village to untie me."

Niu Cuihua was completely panicked at this moment, but still refused to admit that this was her brother, "Who is your sister? You recognized the wrong person."

Niu Dali was instantly furious. It was his sister who told him that these four bastards came from rich families.

You asked me to steal in the middle of the night, why do you not recognize me now?

Didn’t she say that her sons were all scholars and would become high-ranking officials in the future, and that everyone in Gu Village was afraid of her?

What's the matter with you lowering your head now!

He was about to curse, but was interrupted by a voice!

"Tsk, you said he's not your brother? You didn't even look at him, how do you know he was calling you?" Tiedan's mother said mercilessly.

Niu Cuihua glared at Tiedan's mother fiercely and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Tiedan's mother glared back without showing any weakness and said, "If you are unhappy, come and hit me!"

"Niu Cuihua, you actually don't recognize me as your brother!" Niu Dali couldn't help but curse, "Why don't you quickly call these bastards to help me untie the rope!"

Uncle Dazhu couldn't help but kick Niu Dali in the butt. "If you keep swearing, I'll beat you to death!"

Niu Dali looked at the seven or eight burly farmers around him staring at him, and wisely shut up.

This Niu Dali is a notorious lazy guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

The headman knocked the pipe in his hand heavily against the pillar. "Good boy Niu Cuihua, tell me why your brother is here!"

Gu Lili looked at Niu Cuihua coldly, afraid that this woman was eyeing the money in her hands.

Then he called his younger brother to steal in the middle of the night.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Niu Cuihua had to admit that this was her brother.

Niu Cuihua still argued stubbornly, "He is my brother, so what? As a relative, I came to see these four little bastards... What's wrong with being a kid?"

Gu Lili snorted coldly, "My brother and I have severed our relationship with your family a long time ago, so how can we be considered relatives? Besides, even if we are relatives, why would we come to see you in the middle of the night? I think you two have ulterior motives. Grandpa Lizheng, why don't you tie them up and send them to the county magistrate!"

"Yes, yes! I think Niu Cuihua clearly set her sights on the children's money and asked her brother to steal it!"

"Of course it was. Look at her painful expression when we separated that day!"

"How shameless! I gave half of the money to the four siblings, and they still acted like this!"

"..."

The neighbors around started talking about it.

The headman cleared his throat and said, "Dazhu, go and tell Shuangjiang to go and harness the cattle. I don't think Niu Cuihua is telling the truth, so send her to the county government office!"

When Niu Cuihua heard that the head of the village was going to send them to the county government office, she was completely panicked.

But he still said, "Li Zheng, my son is going to be a high-ranking official in the future. If you dare to send my brother and me to the county government, my son will definitely make you suffer when he becomes a high-ranking official!"

Tiedan's mother sneered, "Tsk, with a mother like you, I'm afraid your son won't be able to hold his head up high, so what's the point of being an official!"

"You damn bitch, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!" Niu Cuihua said, and rushed towards Tiedan's mother.

Tiedan's mother was not someone to be trifled with, and the two of them soon started fighting.

Tiedan's mother was stronger after all, and soon she had Niu Cuihua pressed under her, making her scream loudly.

When Tiedan's father saw his wife fighting with Niu Cuihua, he immediately became angry.

Niu Dali was also pinned down and beaten up, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Gu Lili was a little amused and helpless for a moment. She should have just sent the man to the county government office, but now a fight broke out, what should she do?

The people around saw the brother and sister being beaten, but did not try to stop them. Instead, they just watched the show.

If anyone is to blame, it's Niu Cuihua, who doesn't know how to behave as a human being.

"Stop it, stop hitting me!" A deep voice came from outside the yard.

Tiedan's parents stopped what they were doing and looked outside. The neighbors who were watching the fun also made way for them.

Gu Lili looked up and saw a young man in pure white scholar's robe. The white color perfectly set off the scholar's temperament.

Among a group of farmers, he stands out.

There is a bit of Niu Cuihua in his eyes and eyebrows. This is Gu Shuwen.

She is also thirteen years old, a few months younger than Gu Lili.

When Niu Cuihua saw her son coming, she pushed Tiedan's mother away and ran to her son to cry.

"Son! They all bully me!"

Because Gu Shuwen was an expert in fortune-telling and had a talent for studying, the second branch of the Gu family sent him to a private school in the neighboring Yangjiagou.

There was an old scholar in Yangjiagou. Because he had never passed the provincial examination, he opened a private school in his own home to teach.

The Gu family is far away from Yangjiagou. Gu Shuwen lives in the school. It is probably a day off today, so he appears here.

Gu Lili clasped her arms across her chest. She wanted to see what Gu Shuwen would do!

"Mother, how could you do such a thing!" Gu Shuwen angrily shook off Niu Cuihua's hand.

He knew what kind of person his mother was, and he had just heard a general idea from behind everyone.

He always knew that his mother was greedy for money, but he never thought that she would embezzle all of his uncle's pension.

Later, he took five taels of silver back, but he didn't expect that he would call his uncle to steal.

My uncle is not a good person either.

However, his mother did all this for his schooling, but that doesn't mean it's right.

"Shuwen, don't listen to what they say, I didn't..." Niu Cuihua's voice became smaller and smaller.

Although she is fierce, what she fears most is her own son.

At this time, Gu Shuwen also made up his mind about one thing.
