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

Fortunately, she couldn't do it. If she could, Gu Jingsheng's family would not be enough even if they died a thousand times!

Gu Lili originally thought that Gu Jingsheng would come back to harass them and settle accounts with them in the future.

Unexpectedly, they fooled themselves.

This saves Gu Lili from having to deal with him again!

The head of the village nodded and said, "I am just here to pass on a message. As for the outcome, I will not interfere!"

If Gu Jingsheng hadn't kept begging him, he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to say it.

He did something like this. Really, if it weren't for the fact that we grew up together, I wouldn't be able to say such a thing.

The village head and Gu Jingsheng are about the same age and have been playmates since childhood.

When Gu Shanniang was alive, when he was at the farm, everyone praised him.

Ever since he found Gu Chuanniang as his wife, he has become like a completely different person.

What the book says is true, marry a virtuous wife! The ancients were not deceiving me!

"By the way, now that the plague is gradually getting better, your house can almost be built. When do you plan to build it?" The head of the village did not continue the previous topic, but instead asked Gu Lili when she would build the house.

Gu Lili looked at the two shacks, thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa Lizheng, can I buy some wasteland and build a house?"

Gu Lili now wants to build a room specifically for processing maltose, as the place they live now is obviously not enough.

If possible, Gu Lili also plans to plant some fruit trees around the house.

But that’s all later. Let’s build the house first.

The village head pointed to the east end of the village and said, "No one has bought the wasteland over there yet, so we can build a house there, but it's a bit far from the village!"

Gu Lili thought about it and felt that the east end of the village was not bad either, not far from the sea and the stream.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to go fishing at night?

Gu Lili nodded and said, "I'll think about how to build a house later, and then come back to buy the land from you."

When the head of the village heard what he had said, he got up and prepared to go back.

Gu Lili quickly said, "Grandpa Lizheng, please stay and have dinner before leaving."

The head of the village waved his hands and refused, "Next time! I'm leaving first. By the way, your iron rod is quite useful. Putting it next to the bed can keep away thieves." The head of the village said, pointing at the iron rod.

"Well, I bought it to prevent thieves. I was in such a hurry to come back this morning that I forgot about it. Thank you, Grandpa Village Head." Gu Lili said with a smile.

After seeing off the village head, Gu Lili continued cooking.

After visiting Gu Lili's house, the village head went to Gu Jingsheng's house.

As soon as I entered Gu Jingsheng's house, I saw Niu Cuihua squatting in the yard eating chicken shit again, looking at the head of the village with a smile on her face.

The village head shook his head helplessly and walked towards the main hall of Gu Jingsheng's house.

"Gu Jingsheng, are you at home?" the head of the village shouted.

After hearing the words "Brother Jingsheng", the village head could no longer speak.

When Gu Jingsheng heard the head of the village's head's voice, he hurried out from the inner room.

From the time his grandson was crippled last night to the time his son was killed by a tiger today, Gu Jingsheng's successive blows made him seem to have aged dozens of years in one day, and his straight back also bent in one day.

When the head of the village saw him like this, he felt that there must be something hateful about every pitiful person!

Gu Jingsheng asked in a hoarse voice, "Village head, I wonder what Lili said!"

It’s no wonder that he was anxious. His wife fell ill after returning from the mountain, and kept muttering that Gu Shan was here to take their lives.

Gu Jingsheng thought about what had happened during this period of time. The series of misfortunes in his family must have been the boss's revenge.

Since marrying Gu Chuaniang, Gu Jingsheng rarely asked about Gu Shan.

Especially after having Gu Chuan, she almost treated him as a transparent person.

But Gu Shan was a filial child and never complained to me. Instead, he gave me all the money he earned.

Even if you go to the military camp, the money will be yours.

He just couldn't understand how such a filial child could take revenge on them like this after his death.

Doesn’t Gu Shan care about family affection at all?

Li Xihua, like Gu Shan, is a filial person, so why did she give birth to a disobedient child like Gu Lili!

They were beaten by the county magistrate time and again.

Gu Jingsheng has never reflected on his mistakes. Even when he bowed to Gu Lili, it was only because he was afraid of death.

"Lili said she couldn't do it. If it were your turn, I would tell you to just do good deeds and you wouldn't be afraid of this or that!" said the village head unhappily.

When Gu Jingsheng heard that Gu Lili actually refused, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He said angrily, "I am their grandfather, how could that damned girl Gu Lili be so cruel!"

When the village head heard this, he became furious.

He thought Gu Jingsheng asked him for help because he knew he was wrong.

I didn't expect that he would still be so unrepentant.

The village head left a message saying "take care of yourself" and went home angrily.

Gu Jingsheng looked at the head of the village with hatred, then turned around and went back into the house.

"Oh, oh, old man, am I going to die?" Old Mrs. Gu moaned while lying on the bed.

Ever since Gu Huanhuan glared at her in the morning, Mrs. Gu has been feeling uneasy.

She always felt that Gu Huanhuan was possessed by the ghost of Li Xihua.

When I closed my eyes, I could see the eyes of Lao Hu and Gu Huanhuan going back and forth in my mind.

It must be Gu Shan and Li Xihua, those two short-lived people, who came to seek revenge on me.

Old Man Gu said angrily, "Die, die, die! It would be better if our family were wiped out!"

Gu Jingsheng was filled with anger. Gu Shuwen was now half dead, and so was old lady Gu.

Niu Cuihua was quite lively, but she either ate chicken shit or dirt in the yard.

What a rotten family!

Old Madam Gu quickly got up and asked, "Old man, why do you say that? Oh, by the way, what did the head of the village say? Did that damn girl Gu Lili agree?"

She was really afraid that Gu Lili would let the tiger bite her to death.

She is now afraid to even go out, as she always feels that there are eyes watching her in the dark.

Gu Jingsheng said, "What kind of a thing did I raise! If I had known that Gu Shan would not care about family affection, I should have thrown him to death when he was born, and all these things would not have happened later!"

Old Mrs. Gu quickly covered Gu Jingsheng's mouth and looked around as if there was someone in the room.

"Old man, stop talking nonsense. Be careful that Gu Shan may come at night!" Old Mrs. Gu said nervously.

Gu Jingsheng looked at her, swallowed, looked around, and finally said nothing.

"Cluck cluck"

Both of them were startled by the laughter coming from outside.
