The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: The Dead Have Long Been So

Gu Xiaoqing softly explained with sympathy for Gu Youyou, "Eldest sister, the carriage knocked grandmother and elder sister-in-law down the mountain together. Grandmother protected elder sister-in-law and died, and elder sister-in-law was traumatized and has been out of her wits, constantly crying and causing a commotion. We are also holding a funeral here and were afraid of an accident, so we sent her back to the Lei Family."

Could it really be so?

Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile.

Grandmother could protect a granddaughter-in-law who had just been married into the family, yet she never showed such concern for her own granddaughter. The grandmother who was so selfish and greedy that she wouldn’t even spare a piece of candy for her grandchildren... Was she really that great?

"Aren’t you going to kneel and admit your fault quickly!"

As Gu Youyou was contemplating, Huang Xiangwen’s disgusting voice interrupted her thoughts.

Gu Youyou’s cold gaze swept over Huang Xiangwen, and finally rested on the coffin. She slipped her hand into her sleeve, felt an object, then smiled serenely and said in a calm tone, "I’ve made myself very clear, I will kneel, but I refuse to admit any wrongdoing."

Gu Youyou’s gaze inadvertently swept outside the door and saw a familiar silhouette in the dark; she then took her hand out of her sleeve again.

The person who came to pick her up had arrived, so she no longer needed to be afraid of her coarse aunts and uncles getting rough with her; the object she had hidden in her sleeve for defense was no longer necessary.

"Gu Youyou, I see that you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin! Let’s see if I dare to teach you a lesson on behalf of brother and sister-in-law!" Gu Wen rolled up his sleeves and approached her once again.

They were indeed planning to get rough with her, ha...

Gu Youyou showed no hint of fear on her face, but instead, she lowered her hand, gently tapped the coffin, and said, "Uncle, you really are the type who doesn’t cry until you see the coffin, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid that grandmother will get so angry that she’ll jump out of the coffin and slap you to death?"

"What did you say?"

She infuriated him, this sharp-tongued wretch.

Gu Youyou sneered and said, "Haven’t you heard the saying ’the dead are long gone; the living must strive on’? Haven’t you heard ’if a family is not at peace, it will not thrive’? And what about ’once buried, let them rest in peace’?"

All those fancy words, he could not read a single character and did not understand them, but he vaguely grasped the meaning. Was she saying it was his fault that their mother could not rest in peace?

"Because of you, mother had this accident, and yet you dare push the blame onto me in front of her?"

Gu Youyou ignored him and continued on with her previous words, "Now that grandmother’s bones are still warm, you are stirring up trouble in front of her coffin, attempting to create strife within the household. As an elder, how can you encourage mutual support and lead the Gu Family to prosperity and development, and how can you let grandmother rest in peace so that the family can be at ease?"

If Gu Youyou’s initial words only half made sense to him, he clearly understood this tirade.

Good for you, Gu Youyou, truly pinning the nonsense on his head.

Gu Wen’s nose was crooked with rage.

"You’re blaming me? You actually dare blame me? Everyone knows that you, Gu Youyou, are an ungrateful wretch. Everyone saw our mother meet a tragic end in the valley, and it was I, Gu Wen, who carried her back. You, this unfilial daughter of the Gu Family, actually have the nerve to lie shamelessly, saying it’s my fault that mother cannot rest in peace?

Do you believe I will beat you to death right here in front of mother, and when she reaches the underworld and meets your parents, she will herself explain your unfilial behavior to elder brother and sister-in-law. After hearing it, they will only applaud!"

Good for an applause!

"Right, hit her!"

"Right, beat her to death!"

"Beat her to death, brother and sister-in-law won’t blame you."

Gu Youyou let out a cold laugh and no longer wished to look at the people shouting to beat her. She simply felt a thorough chill settle in her heart.
