The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 538 - Chapter 538 Chapter 538 Who is it

Chapter 538: Chapter 538 Who is it Chapter 538: Chapter 538 Who is it Mrs. Zhang’s household was thrown into chaos. After his marriage, Gu Changshun was not only forbidden from touching Wan Ruyan; he wasn’t even allowed to enter their house. Wan Ruyan had locked her bedroom door early and went to bed first. Gu Changshun, fearing that Wan Ruyan would set the house on fire, did not dare to kick the door down.

He had no choice but to squeeze into the same room as his brother, Gu Dabao.

As for the matter of Mrs. Han’s elopement, once Gu Tiezhu learned that his wife had run away and had taken all the valuables from the house, he took out his anger on the children.

Both kids were beaten and wailed loudly by Gu Tiezhu, especially his daughter Xiangxiang, who closely resembled Mrs. Han. Seeing his daughter, Gu Tiezhu’s anger was even more intensified.

He took a broom and lashed out at his children. After a violent beating, Xiangxiang’s body was covered in injuries without a single unharmed spot, and when Xiaoshan saw his sister being hit, he tried to protect her, which resulted in him getting injured all over as well. If it wasn’t for Mrs. An’s timely intervention, the two children might have been beaten half to death by Gu Tiezhu.

Gu Chengxiang was furious when he saw his injured grandchildren, wondering why the children had to suffer for Mrs. Han’s elopement. How could someone take their anger out on children?

Mrs. An had already reprimanded Gu Tiezhu and, still worried for the children, took them both away. Gu Chengxiang’s heart ached for his trembling grandchildren.

He then ordered Mrs. An to fetch ointment for the children, “Didn’t the wife of Jianghai give you a box of ointment last time? Hurry and put it on Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang.”

Mrs. An agreed, went to find the medication, and, upon finding the ointment, applied it to the grandchildren while cursing Gu Changshun for his brutal beating, “That good-for-nothing! Look what he did to the kids!”

Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang, terrified from the beating, were unable to speak at first and then began crying continuously.

Mrs. An consoled them, “Xiaoshan, be good; Xiangxiang, be brave. Grandma is hurting for you, I’ll protect you, don’t be afraid.”

Now, both children clung to Mrs. An as their pillar of strength, not leaving her side for even a step.

Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang were well aware of their son Gu Tiezhu’s temper. Giving the children back to him would likely mean that he would again take his anger out on them.

After some discussion, Mrs. An and her husband Gu Chengxiang decided to take Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang into their own home to raise. With the elderly couple’s supervision, Gu Tiezhu wouldn’t dare to come into their house to beat the children.

Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan had an irresponsible father and a vain mother, who ran off with another man. Fortunately, the children were lucky to have sensible and responsible grandparents in Mrs. An and Gu Chengxiang, ensuring that they were well cared for.

Mrs. Chu, who was also kind-hearted, pitied the children and looked after them from time to time. However, during the day, she was busy with her market stall business and did not have any spare time to take care of them. It was mainly Mrs. An who was in charge. The person spreading the rumors had not yet been found.

Gu Ya had not let up at all, making every effort to find out. The sooner the rumor monger was found, the earlier his daughter-in-law’s reputation could be cleared.

After much effort, Gu Ya finally found some clues. It appeared that the first person to have spread the news was one of the village women living near the old Gu Family house. Now that Gu Ya had narrowed down the suspects, things became easier to handle.

Meanwhile, the village head had sent a messenger saying they had found the person spreading the rumors. Su Yunjin was overjoyed and looked at the messenger, not waiting to ask eagerly.
