This was truly a pathetic statement. The laughter from next door became increasingly shrill, and Song Dadong also laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay, you're really sensible, hahahahahaha... It's getting late, so I won't disturb you and your sister-in-law!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Song Qin looked at his receding back, his eyes almost blazing with fire, and he couldn't help but hold the door frame tightly.

When his eyes fell on Xiangzhi, his expression suddenly changed to a tender one, and he stepped aside to welcome her in.

"It's getting late, go back to your room and get some rest. I've boiled some water for you to wash your feet."

Xiangzhi opened her mouth, but finally whispered, "I'm sorry."

Song Qin pulled the bolt and spoke with great difficulty.

"I know you're trying to survive, and it's been very hard for you. You don't have to apologize to me."

Xiangzhi's feet seemed to have taken root and she could no longer move at all.

After a moment, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Maybe she really was wrong.

He had misjudged Song Qin who treated him sincerely, and he felt even more sorry for the poor child who was separated from his mother when he was still an infancy.

Xiangzhi clenched her fists and thought to herself, after helping Song Dadong this time, she would live a good life with Song Qin and have a few more children and raise them well!

But what she didn't expect was that opportunity never waits for anyone, and God would not favor her, a mother with impure thoughts.

Early the next morning, Gu Changqing wanted to take the earliest ox cart back to town. He picked up the bag his mother had packed for him and before he even left the house, he was startled by the deafening crying outside the door.

Well, it's true that there are several tombs behind their house, but no matter what, they shouldn't offer sacrifices in front of his house, right?

Lin Qing in the next yard was also frightened. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Gu Sanmu rushed into the house in a panic, his face anxious: "Mom, please come out and take a look, Grandpa Youzu is dying!"

Lin Qing, who had been confused all day, only felt that the name Youzu sounded familiar. Looking at the two children, their expressions suddenly changed. Before they could react, they were dragged out of the door without saying anything.

As soon as she walked out of the main hall, she saw that her family's courtyard, which was originally a little empty, was now crowded with people. Some were carrying baskets, some were leaning on crutches, and some were carrying hoes. They were of all shapes and sizes. The only thing in common was that their expressions were full of anticipation of seeing something new.

Fortunately, Gu Sanmu had already surrounded the raked ground with tree branches, otherwise he would have been doomed.

Lin Qingxin said that there were really no entertainment activities in Songsi Village. When they saw something lively, they would put down their work and rush over without caring about what they were doing.

Someone in the crowd said, "Mrs. Gu, please check on Uncle Youzu. He's suddenly unconscious!"

Lin Qing thought to herself, if you feel unwell, go see a doctor. Why send her here?

Someone was kind enough to answer her questions.

Shen said loudly: "Youzu's daughter-in-law said that her father-in-law has been possessed by some evil spirit since he came back from going out with your Sanmu yesterday. He didn't even eat when he came home late at night. The meat buns he bought were... Hey, let's not talk about this.

"I rushed to the fields early this morning and was already exhausted at the door before I even left! I think your family has something to do with this!"

The woman next to Shen said, "Mrs. Shen is right. Mrs. Gu, you should quickly send someone who can run fast to the next village to ask for Doctor Hu. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"

Gu Sanmu was already worried about Song Youzu's fainting. When he heard that this was related to him, he was so nervous and scared that he almost cried out loud.

After a few weak excuses, he was completely drowned out by the noise of the onlookers.

"Mrs. Gu, please don't be distracted. If you delay saving our village's living god of wealth, it will be a capital crime!"

A deliberately raised voice in the crowd made everyone turn their heads to look over. Lin Ting heard that it was Xiangzhi who was speaking.

Lin Qing was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Does Xiangzhi always speak in this tone?

The smooth and natural sound of the clip is really beyond reach.

But what Lin Qing cared about more was the meaning of her words.

It sounds like he is thinking about himself, but in fact he is just trying to sow discord and cause chaos in the world.

However, when Lin Qing thought about who Song Youzu was, she thought to herself that she was right when she said that he was a living god of wealth.

Even though he knew that these people who were making trouble just wanted to make fun of him and definitely had no good intentions, he didn't want anything to happen to Song Youzu.

After all, potatoes, red amaranth, snake beans and the like still depend on him to grow!

"Uncles, aunts, and aunts, please make way!"

After Gu Ermiao came out of the main hall, he joined forces with his brothers to disperse the people who were gathered together, but they were all eager to watch the fun and would never listen to the younger generation's instructions.

Seeing the crowd getting more and more noisy, Gu Ermiao became more and more anxious.

Suddenly, I heard someone clapping behind me. I thought it was my mother who was going to take charge of the situation, but I didn't expect that the person who spoke was my eldest brother.

But after Gu Damao spoke a few words at the top of his lungs, he found that the villagers simply ignored him, a man with no background and no money to take the imperial examination.

It was not until Gu Changqing, who was outside the door, pushed through the crowd and came to his side that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Gu Damao took a deep breath and then said slowly, "Everyone, Grandpa Youzu's illness cannot be delayed. If you don't make room for us to take him to the hospital, if something goes wrong, even if you didn't mean to, I'm afraid no one will believe it if you tell others."

Gu Changqing also said loudly: "That's right. If the village head questions us, please don't blame us brothers for telling the truth."

Gu Sihe didn't play dumb like the other scholars and said bluntly, "That's right, our words don't carry much weight, but the village head is different! If he knew that you were bullying Grandpa Youzu like this, he would definitely not let any of you off!"

When everyone heard the brothers singing in unison, a look of shame appeared on their faces as if their little thoughts had been exposed. They turned half-way around in shock and fear to avoid their bright gazes.

When they turned away, some people became bolder again.

"The Gu family is truly remarkable. Even though Damao dropped out of school right after he started learning, he's still a semi-educated man. How could he have picked up these street scoundrels' threats?"

"Changqing is the one who's learned bad habits! Look at how good a kid he used to be, and now he's following this whole family into misbehaving!"

However, Shen didn't care about these rumors. Seeing that her words had no effect and no one agreed with her, she danced with anger.

"Hey, tell me, who would have thought that an honest kid like Sanmu would be involved in a murder case!"

Everyone thought that Shen was really outspoken.

Although Song Youzu looked to be in a bad condition, he was still breathing. How could he die in her mouth?

Shen continued, "Didn't you see how powerful Sanmu was that day? Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wu ran into him while they were picking wild vegetables in the mountains. I don't know what kind of disagreement they had with him, but he actually raised his fist and was about to hit them!"

Although everyone looked down on Shen's flamboyance, when they heard that Wu and Liu were almost beaten, they all pricked up their ears to hear the inside story.
