Chapter 199 Informing the Wei Family of Their Whereabouts

He glanced at Gu Lian; although he disliked the girl, he didn't embarrass her in public.

Gu Lianshan gave a light "hmm," which was enough to save face for the young girl.

Gu Lian was surprised to receive a response and breathed a sigh of relief before hiding behind Gu Tianbao.

I thought this would reduce my presence, but to my surprise, I was scolded by Ms. Feng.

“Where can’t you go, you little hussy! What are you doing coming into this house so early in the morning! Showing off that you have legs and can run and walk, huh? Just wait! I’ll break your legs later and see if you’ll still be showing off then.”

Gu Lian was bewildered after being scolded for no reason, and her eyes reddened.

She did nothing, just entered the house and called out "Second Uncle". Was she going to be scolded just for saying "Second Uncle"?

Gu Lian couldn't understand it, but she didn't dare to ask. She just obediently lowered her head and accepted it.

Little did she know that her personality only fueled Feng's arrogance, and she unleashed a torrent of foul language at the young girl.

Feng's scolding of Gu Lian wasn't really anything serious; it was just that she had nowhere to vent her anger. In addition, after discovering that her son knew about her past, she was extremely anxious and felt suffocated. She needed someone to take her anger out on.

There are only a few people in this house. She can't bear to scold her husband and grandson, and her second son, Gu Lianshan, is a scoundrel. If you scold him, he'll argue back.

Besides, now that this bastard knows about those things, she doesn't dare to curse him anymore, afraid that if she really pushes him too far, he'll bring up the past without a care.

After all that, only the timid Gu Lian was left, making her the easiest target for bullying. Of course, Madam Feng would seize the opportunity to give her a good scolding to vent her anger.

Gu Lian kept her head down, not saying a word, and tears fell from her eyes.

Gu Tianbao immediately became displeased: "Grandma! My second sister didn't do anything, why are you scolding her like that!"

Madam Feng's face darkened, and her gaze towards Gu Tianbao immediately turned unfriendly.

Gu Lianshan couldn't stand the old lady's unreasonable behavior and retorted, "You only know how to bully these young, weak-willed girls. If you're so capable, go and argue with my daughter! If she doesn't drive you crazy, I'll say my name backwards!"

These words left Madam Feng speechless, staring blankly.

Grandpa Gu glared at him: "You came to our house to cause trouble today, did your daughter go back and complain? Yesterday she threw a tantrum and insisted on hiring an oxcart to come back by herself! Now she has the nerve to complain!"

This is infuriating so early in the morning; it must be that brat Si Ya framing them again!

When asked about yesterday's events, Gu Lianshan didn't want to bring it up; he didn't want anyone to know that his daughter hadn't come home yesterday.

He glanced at Gu Tianbao and then changed the subject.

“None of you have the nerve to talk about my daughter! I’m not here today because of what happened yesterday. I’m here to see the old lady and also to tell you something.”

"That's rare! You always keep things from us, but today you suddenly remember to tell us something. It can't be anything good! Even if it were something good, you wouldn't think of your mother and me!"

Gu Lianshan pretended not to hear the old man's sarcastic remarks and continued, "A few days ago, I met a person in Bei'an City. That person was wearing... a woman's dress. My daughter also saw it and thought it looked like my sister-in-law's dress."

I wondered if my sister-in-law had been kidnapped, so I asked around and found out the kidnapper was from a village halfway up the mountain to the north, named Wang Er.

The room was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The faces of the two elders of the Gu family were so gloomy they could drip water, while Gu Tianbao's face was full of joy! Gu Lianshan glanced at the two elders of the Gu family, and his heart sank. This reaction probably meant they would not agree to go looking for the person.

He fixed his gaze on Gu Tianbao: "My second uncle has been thinking about this matter, and I don't know if your cousin was mistaken. But I think it's better to make an extra trip than to miss this opportunity, so I'll just let you know and find some people in the village to go with us to the mountainside village to look for it..."

"What are you looking for!"

Before Gu Lianshan could finish speaking, Feng Shi, with a ferocious expression, interrupted him.

"Your sister-in-law died in the mountains long ago! Her body was eaten by wild animals! This must be a lie told by that little whore Siya! She can't stand seeing our family doing well; she can't be at peace until we're laughed at by everyone!"

These words chilled Gu Tianbao, who had been beaming with joy, to the bone. He looked at Madam Feng with reddened eyes and tears welling up in his eyes.

Feng ignored him and stared intently at Gu Lianshan, insisting that Gu Tang had misjudged him!

Wei died long ago! Her remains have not been found!

Gu Lianshan's face darkened as well: "I know you wish for your sister-in-law to die in the mountains every day, but there's no need to keep bringing it up. This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm telling you this because I don't want to feel guilty about doing something wrong. As for whether or not to go looking for her, that's your family's business."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Second uncle!"

Gu Tianbao grabbed Gu Lianshan's clothes, looking at him with teary eyes: "What others say doesn't count! I'm going to find my mother!"

"Tianbao!" Madam Feng glared at him menacingly. "Grandma already said! Your mother died in the mountains long ago! What mother are you looking for? If you want your mother's love, we'll have your father remarry after the New Year!"

Listen! Listen!

Is this human language?

Gu Tianbao exploded: "Grandma, are you getting senile?! Why would I leave my own mother to go find her, waiting for my father to marry a stepmother? I may not be smart in school, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid!"

These words infuriated Madam Feng to the point of collapse.

Gu Tianbao ignored her and continued to pester Gu Lianshan: "Second Uncle! Could you help me find some people to guide me? I'll pay for it!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! There's no money left in the house for you to squander!" Old Master Gu tapped his leg with his cane, making Gu Tianbao's face change in pain, but he still insisted on going to look for someone.

Grandpa Gu was furious. His gaze towards Gu Tianbao was cold and gloomy, devoid of his usual kindness.

During the days that Madam Feng was away, Old Master Gu became more and more concerned about money. If he had kept all of Madam Feng's money in his own hands, he wouldn't have had such a hard time!

Now that Gu Tianbao is asking for money to find Wei Shi, this infuriates Old Master Gu!

Where would a child like him get the money? In the end, his family still has to pay for it.

If Wei Shi really didn't die, and was even kidnapped and kept in the village, then without a doubt, she must have been taken advantage of and made someone's wife.

What's the point of saving such a shameless woman? She shouldn't be alive! She should have just killed herself when she was kidnapped!

If they manage to save that person, what will become of their family's reputation? Will the eldest son ever be able to hold his head high again when he goes out to visit friends or study?

"Second son! Get out of here! This is none of your business! And you're not allowed to tell anyone!" Old Master Gu wanted to get rid of Gu Lianshan and cut off Gu Tianbao's hopes.

These words made Gu Tianbao unable to suppress his anger any longer.
