Chapter 271: Seeking Justice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Old Madam Gu heard Gu Xiaos words, her eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, froze for a moment.

W-What did you say? Who do you want to send to prison? Old Madam Gu stammered in disbelief.

Gu Xiao sneered. Of course its you and the old man. The two of you are only in your sixties. Youre not old enough to have your sentences reduced. Its very simple to send you to prison.

As she spoke, she exerted some force in her hand. The moment she let go of Old Madam Gus hand, the other party subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gu Xiao stopped looking at Old Madam Gu and turned to look at the villagers who were watching the commotion outside. Is the village chief here?

He should be here soon, someone in the crowd replied. Gu Xiao! Are you really going to send them to jail too? Can they go to jail too?

Thats right! Although they are not kind, they shouldnt be in jail, right?

When Gu Xiao heard this, she did not speak. She only smiled at the person who asked the question.

When Old Madam Gu heard that she was going to jail too, she was so frightened that she did not even have the courage to find trouble with Gu Xiao.

To them, things like going to jail were still very scary.

After a while, Gu Xiao saw the village chief from afar.

When the village chief heard that Gu Xiao had returned from the big city and was looking for trouble with the Gu family as soon as she returned, he could not sit still and hurriedly rushed over.

He glanced at Gu Cheng, who was still at Chu Ans feet, and Old Mr Gu, who was circling around Chu An but couldnt do anything to him. Then, he looked at Old Madam Gu, who was pale and in a daze at the side. He didnt know what she was thinking, but his gaze finally landed on Gu Xiao.

He looked at Gu Xiao awkwardly. Xiaoxiao, its fine if youre back, but why did you do such a thing the moment you came back?

He had seen it on television before and knew that Gu Xiaos current achievements were different. She had already opened a company and was a boss. If possible, he did not want to offend Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiaos expression was calm. Im here to seek justice. Ive vented my anger previously. Now, its time to get down to business.

She paused, and her gaze swept from Old Mr Gu to Old Madam Gu, then to the village and the villagers watching the commotion outside.

I dont know how much pain and suffering I suffered in the Gu family when I was young. What they did could already be considered child abuse. Everyone can see it for themselves. There were a few times when I almost died. Everyone should be able to testify.

After hearing Gu Xiaos words, everyone in the village had something to say.

Aunt Fu looked at Gu Xiao and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

However, before she could say anything, her hand was pulled by Uncle Li. She glanced at Uncle Li and her lips moved, but she did not say anything.

After all, they were from the same village. It was normal for them to protect each other.

In particular, the incident with Gu Shan and Xie Fang had already happened in their village. If Old Madam Gu and Old Mr Gu were to be imprisoned again, then the reputation of their village

They had already been implicated because of Gu Shan and Xie Fang. This time, they were unwilling to let Old Madam Gu and Old Gu go to jail.

Gu Xiao had already guessed this situation, so she was not in a hurry.

When I was young, I couldnt keep the evidence of Old Madam Gu and Old Gu abusing me, but 1 think the villagers still have some evidence. If someone can provide me with real and reliable evidence, Ill give you 100 yuan for every piece of evidence!

This 100 yuan might not be a big deal to Gu Xiao, but to many families in the village who were working on the farms, the temptation of 100 yuan was already very great.

Moreover they might have more than one piece of evidence.

Gu Xiao did not move, but the villagers began to get restless.

The village chief sensed that the villagers were tempted. He immediately turned around and gave the villagers a look to stop them.

So what if it was a hundred yuan?

If he really let Old Gu and Old Madam Gu go to jail, how could he still continue to be the village chief?!

Previously, after the incident with Gu Shan and Xie Fang, the other villages had already looked down on their village. Even a girl who had been married had been returned to their village.

If something happened again, what would happen to their village in the future?!
