Chapter 166 Pretending
Everyone was startled by the two kicks, and after they came to their senses, they stared in horror at the two people who had just kicked them.
Gu Zhan and the others knew that the family at the entrance of the village, who lived alone and was a skilled hunter.
Scarface and his gang also knew that the local thugs often led their henchmen to collect protection money and eat and drink for free on the streets.
Although they knew both of them, this was the first time they had ever seen them so violent.
Not only them, but even Lin Cai was seeing the two of them move their feet so in perfect unison for the first time.
Li Guixiang, who had been kicked into the corner, cried out in pain, which drew everyone's attention to the corner.
Li Guixiang had already gotten up, but she could clearly feel that her body was in a lot of pain.
But she still didn't give up on smearing Lin Cai.
"Hey Lin, you still say you're not a jinx, you still say you're not a poisonous woman, then tell me what's going on with me now? I've only been here a short time and I've already been beaten up, and you still say it's none of your business?"
Lin Cai was speechless upon hearing this. Was this woman out of her mind?
I spent the whole morning running around here spouting nonsense, and now that I've been kicked out, I'm trying to pin the blame on myself?
Did she really think there was no one here?
Aunt Li, who had come to pay her respects to the old lady, heard this and stepped in through the door carrying her basket.
"Oh my, isn't this Guixiang? What are you doing sitting there all of a sudden?"
"Your mother-in-law's memorial tablet is right here, aren't you going to come over and kowtow twice?"
Aunt Li lit two incense sticks for the old lady, and then looked at Li Guixiang, who was still sitting there.
"Gui Xiang, Gui Xiang, look at what you're doing! There are so many people in this room, men and women, and you're just sitting there like that. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Your mother-in-law just passed away, and you're already behaving like this as a daughter-in-law. No wonder your Taurus family treats you that way!"
This statement leaves much to the imagination; those who had paid their respects to the old lady but were still alive had their eyes practically shining.
Their gossipy eyes were fixed on Li Guixiang, as if they could see the outcome just by staring at her.
Upon hearing this, Li Guixiang immediately glared at Aunt Li and said, "You old hag, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"What my Taurus does to me is none of your business. What does it have to do with you?"
"You can't even manage your own man, yet you're trying to manage someone else's. If I had your free time, I'd take care of my own man first..."
Li Guixiang's repeated references to her husband directly hit Li Da Niang's sore spot, and Li Da Niang immediately disregarded everything else.
"No matter what, my man is better than yours. Every day... your voice is so loud, you're not ashamed at all."
Once this was said, anyone with a shred of decency would be furious. Li Guixiang had completely forgotten about Lin Cai and pounced on Aunt Li.
"You old hag, who gave you the right to spout nonsense here? I'm going to kill you."
They started making a scene in the mourning hall. Gu Dachui silently walked out the door, and then with a loud bang, a kitchen knife was stuck directly into the table next to the main room.
The people inside the house heard the noise and looked over, only to see Gu Dachui standing there with a grim face and a kitchen knife in his hand.
"If you want to argue or fight, go outside and argue or fight. How well you fight is none of Gu Jia's business."
Gu Dachui's actions startled everyone in the room, and the two fighters stopped fighting.
But Gu Dachui didn't want to see Li Guixiang, so he held the kitchen knife and looked at her, saying, "I don't care what you're here for, but please leave now. You're not welcome in our house."
The cleaver in his hand, with its gleaming blade, looked as if it were about to strike at any moment.
Li Guixiang and Aunt Li were both frightened when they saw it: "That big hammer! Don't get excited, please don't get excited..."
"I'm leaving now. I just came to offer incense to the old lady, that's all. Don't worry, I'll leave right now, I definitely won't..."
As Aunt Li spoke, she picked up her basket and walked out. Li Guixiang, who was left behind, saw this and immediately chased after her.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay, but that she was afraid to. She didn't want to die yet, and she didn't want to lose her life here.
After witnessing this scene, everyone inside the house quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving only the family members behind.
Ershi walked over, took the knife from his older brother's hand, and placed it on the table next to him. He patted his older brother on the shoulder without saying a word.
Although they weren't very close to the old lady, they were still related by blood. It was heartbreaking to see her gone now, when she was perfectly healthy.
Lin Cai glanced at the coffin, then told Gu Dachui to go and pick up Xiao Chunhua and Sanhu this afternoon.
The old lady is gone. Those two little ones should come back no matter what, otherwise people will have something to say about them.
But what Lin Cai didn't expect was that Gu Xuewen was also coming back with her.
As soon as he returned, he rushed to the old lady's memorial tablet, crying, "Grandmother, what happened? Grandmother, I've only been gone for a little over half a month, why are you gone already?"
"Grandmother, my dear grandmother! You were always in good health, and you never got sick in all these years, but why... did you suddenly leave us?"
Every sentence he uttered was a lament about why the old lady had passed away, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear the underlying question in his voice: was there some kind of conspiracy at play?
All of this is implying that Lin Cai and the Gu family siblings did something to the old lady or were harsh on her.
Lin Bao couldn't bear to listen to what Gu Xuewen was saying, so he stepped forward and looked at Gu Xuewen, who was crying and wailing.
"Hey, you surnamed Gu, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Xuewen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued crying and howling. Lin Bao found his voice very annoying and kicked him.
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me? Are you pretending to be deaf here?"
Having been kicked, Gu Xuewen couldn't pretend he felt nothing. He then looked up at Lin Bao with a bewildered expression.
"Brother Lin, what did you just say to me?"
Lin Bao clicked his tongue when he heard this. Why did he hate reading so much?
Half of the reason is because of this. Look, look, the place is so small, and the distance isn't very far.
It wasn't noisy around here, so didn't this guy hear what he just said?
He's deliberately pretending to be deaf, fine, but he's also pretending to be innocent. Who does he think he is?
