Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 291: Marrying the Mountain God 13

The next day, Gu Li got up very early and went to find her second uncle with her mother without even having breakfast.

Gu Li wanted to find a lawyer for Lian Yunshen, and this matter could only be handed over to several uncles who had lived in the town for many years.

Gu Li finished her explanation in a few simple words, and her second uncle hesitated, "Is Yun Shen really wronged?"

This time, Gu Li didn't need to speak, Lian's mother immediately became anxious, "Yun Shen has been studying in the town for many years. It can be said that he grew up under the noses of you uncles. Don't you know what kind of person he is? He has never even killed a chicken, how could he kill someone!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I believe it, of course I believe it!" said the second uncle, "I'll let the fourth son's family take care of it. He works in the academy and knows a lot of people in that field."

Gu Li took out two taels of silver from the Gu family from her bosom and said, "Second uncle, take this for emergency use. This is all I have right now."

Two taels of silver seemed like a lot for living in the village, but it was definitely not enough to hire a lawyer, but she couldn't afford more.

Lian's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She held Gu Li's hand and took out a piece of jade with auspicious clouds carved on it. "Mom has it!"

Even without even looking at it, the mother handed the jade pendant that she had worn for more than ten years to her second uncle, "This should be worth a lot of money, you can pawn it, you must pawn it!"

Gu Li didn't hesitate and kept the change.

On the way back to the village, my uncle didn't ask anything, but he whipped me much faster.

When we reached the entrance of the village, my uncle asked, "Do you want me to accompany you back?"

"No need, I've already delayed you for several days, you should go back soon."

"Okay, if you have something to say, send someone to give me a message!"

Qi Dashan's home was at the end of the village, near the foot of the mountain. Gu Li and Lian's mother didn't bother to go home first, and walked directly towards the end of the village.

"Ali, can you still call me mother from now on? I truly treat you as my own child." After Gu Li came out of the prison, he changed his name for her from 'mother' to 'Auntie Yu'.

This made Lian's mother feel a little uneasy.

Ever since she found out that Lian Yunshen was not the murderer, Gu Li felt that the relationship between her and Lian Yunshen might still change, so she unconsciously called her "Auntie Yu" again.

But now think about it, even if Lian Yunshen came out of prison, in the eyes of the villagers, she has long been the daughter-in-law of the Lian family.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, mother." Gu Li agreed readily.

"Hey."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking quietly when someone in front of them shouted, "Yun Shen's mother, where have you been? Something happened at your house, go back and check it out!"

The two looked at each other, neither of them understanding what could have happened in an empty house, but they didn't want to delay any longer, so they turned around and went home first.

Before I got home, I saw a group of people gathered at the door of Lian's house from afar.

The door of the courtyard was opened and people who came to watch the fun crowded into the yard.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hey, the Lian family is back, Yun Shen's mother is back!"

As they got closer, the conversations inside became clearer.

"Oh, I don't know which deity the Lian family has offended. A good scholar turned into a murderer overnight, and now the Wong Tai Sin has come to visit."

"I think Yun Shen's father is short-lived, and he won't live long in Yun Shen's place either. This family will be ruined sooner or later."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The old scholar died of illness."

"Hey, Huang Cuilan, you still want to speak up for the murderer at this time. Don't forget that the little beast from the Lian family not only killed people, but also chopped up Dashan's body!"

"This is called a dog that bites!"

"Well, wasn't Cuilan's kid introduced to the academy by that murderer? She must have said something good for him!"

------

Lian's mother trembled all over when she heard this. These people who were gossiping had benefited a lot from her son in the past.

Apart from anything else, over the years, which family in the village didn't ask her son to write the couplets for the New Year?

Never took a single penny from the villagers.

Gu Li didn't take all this to heart. She walked in front, blocking everyone's gaze from seeing Lian's mother.

"What are you all doing gathered in my yard?"

The crowd made way for a path, allowing one to see a pheasant with a broken neck placed at the door.

Gu Li pointed at the colorful pheasant on the ground and asked, "Whose is it?"

No one answered.

"Whoever brought it can take it away. I don't want it!"

A woman wearing a flowery headscarf walked to the front of the crowd, looked around, and then stretched her neck to look at Lian's mother behind Gu Li, "Ayu, this is the new wife you married for Yun Shen, right?"

"Yes, it's Gu Li from the Gu family in the neighboring village. She often came to my house when she was a child. You have also seen my eldest sister-in-law." Lian's mother quickly stepped forward, "Gu Li, this is Aunt Hongyun from the village chief's family."

"Aunt, what's going on?"

Aunt Hongyun didn't waste any more words. "It is said that this pheasant was sent by Wong Tai Sin. It kept knocking on your door with the chicken in its hand, but as more and more people came, it ran away!"

Gu Li was horrified, "A weasel brought a chicken to my door?"

She had encountered it once when she was at Gu's house, but she didn't expect it to chase her here.

An elderly person nearby immediately spit loudly, "You little kid, you can't be so careless. He's Wong Tai Sin, you can't be disrespectful!"

Gu Li didn't care about that and picked up the chicken on the ground and was about to throw it out of the yard, "For no reason, I don't want this!"

Before she reached the door, she ran into Gu Jixia and Fang's mother and daughter.

When the two men saw the pheasant in Gu Li's hand, they immediately pounced on it and raised their hands to grab it, "This is my family's. I knew that you stole the pheasant today."

Gu Li was confused.

"Hey, where are you from? Why are you here to steal things? And you keep saying it's yours. Do you think we are blind? Your chicken looks like this? It's a wild chicken!"

There were also people who knew Fang and whispered her identity in the back.

Fang grabbed the pheasant's wings, put her other hand on her waist and started to curse: "This pheasant was sent by Huangpizi, right? Humph, Huangpizi has sent chickens to my house many times, but not today. I was wondering where today's game had gone, and it turns out that you have robbed it. It's only the second day since you got married, why are you sending even the food from your mother's home to your husband's home? You have no conscience, I have raised you for so many years in vain! Why can't you just see your mother's home doing well!"

Once Fang started talking, she couldn't stop.

Gu Li was too lazy to pay attention to her. "I don't care what you want. I've already given you the chicken. Let's go!"

"What's your attitude? I'm your mother!"

"My father is Gu Jianbang. Did you remarry?"

"You -- you bastard, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
