Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 308: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 36

"Ah! Uncle, let me go, I won't go!" Gu Xi tried desperately to break free from the restraints.

However, a girl who is not yet an adult can never break free from an adult man who works all year round, even if she is very strong.

Gu Yong was very sensible. He only held Gu Xi's wrist tightly with one hand, and they even kept a certain distance between them.

Seeing this, Li Xiuqin hurriedly pulled Gu Xuan to follow.

Gu Qian was a step slower. She did not choose to catch up immediately, but ran to her room and rummaged through a box.

She quickly found some papers, then ran out and caught up with them.

Along the way, Gu Xi was rolling on the ground and yelling "I'm not going!", attracting the curious onlookers around him.

A curious person saw this scene and immediately ran to Gu Ming's home to inform the two elders.

Fearing a bad influence, Li Xiuqin let go of Gu Xuan's hand and let him walk by himself, then stepped forward and held Gu Xi's other hand.

After Gu Qian arrived, she replaced Gu Yong, and the two women held Gu Xi and continued to move towards the village chief's house.

Even though it was two women holding him, they were actually much more powerful than Gu Yong being the only man holding him, and Gu Xi's struggles were much weaker.

Needless to say, Li Xiuqin has been working all year round and is as strong as some men; let alone Gu Qian, who has never stopped practicing martial arts since he came into this world and has very powerful hands.

Soon, the group arrived at the old village chief's house in a lively manner.

"Gu Yong, you're here! What... is going on?" Zhao Dali pointed at Gu Xi, who was being held by two women behind Gu Yong.

"Brother Dali, you will know in a moment. Is the village chief here?"

"Yes, I heard you were back, so come over. My father is waiting here!" Zhao Dali led several people in.

"Village chief, we are back."

At this time, the village chief, who already looked very old, smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met! Why did you suddenly come back?"

"It's because of some reasons. I'll tell you in detail later. We just wanted to come and see you today, but something happened just now, so..." Gu Yong said, pointing to Gu Xi behind him.

Seeing the direction Gu Yong was pointing, the village chief immediately sat up straight.

At first, he was only paying attention to Gu Yong, so he didn't see what was happening behind him. "What's going on?"

"It's like this..." Gu Yong slowly told the story word by word without any falsehood.

During this period, Gu Xi tried to interrupt several times, but was stopped by Gu Qian.

"Village chief, I thought I had done my best. Over the past eight years, she has taken a lot of things from my house, and I never said anything. But today, she came to my house and started to disrespect Xiuqin and Qianqian. She even said she would call the police to have us all arrested. I couldn't stand it."

At this time, Gu Xi finally seized the opportunity to speak.

"Village chief, it's not like that! I have never taken anything from their house!" Because he was stopped from speaking many times, Gu Xi almost shouted this time.

The sharp sound made the village chief feel uncomfortable.

"Girl from Gu Zhi's family, don't speak!" The village chief said this to Gu Xi in a very dignified manner, then turned to ask Gu Yong: "What do you think?"

"What I mean is that the things she has taken from my house over the years can be offset with the IOU. From now on, we have nothing to do with her and we don't owe each other anything."

Hearing this, the village chief lowered his head in thought.

In fact, this is no secret in the village.

Their village is so small that if you pay close attention you can tell who visits whom. If you make loud enough noises you can even hear the content of the conversation, not to mention that Gu Xi is a "celebrity" in their village.

This girl Gu Xi thought that no one knew what she did, but in fact, everyone knew it clearly.

He went there empty-handed and came back with things. Who wouldn't know this about neighbors?

Everyone thought that he was tolerant and didn't want to care because Gu Xi was his niece. In addition, the two elders never wanted Gu Yong's things, so it was natural for them to send them to Gu Xi.

Gu Yong's reputation in the village has been getting better and better over the years, not only due to the fact that they opened a store in Wu County, but also because he never cared about Gu Xi's behavior.

Who could have thought that Gu Xi was so ignorant as to offend his only future supporter.

Seeing this, Gu Xi began to get anxious.

She didn't expect the village chief to ask Gu Yong how to solve the problem. What did this mean? Was he going to help Gu Yong's family?

Thinking of this, she didn't care about the village chief telling her to shut up, "Village chief, how can you believe their empty words? They say they can offset it, but they have no evidence, and they don't want us to live!"

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei, who had just arrived at the village chief's house, happened to hear their granddaughter's offensive words and immediately broke out in a sweat.

They never thought that their granddaughter was so bold as to speak to the village chief like that.

At this time, the village chief was also a little unhappy. He was about to speak when he was interrupted again.

"I'm sorry, village chief. This kid is so tactless in his words. Please don't take it personally." As soon as Gu Ming walked in, he pulled Gu Xi to his side and separated them from Gu Qian and the others.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk about how to solve this problem." The village chief turned to Gu Yong and said, "You said that the girl from Gu Zhi's family took your things. Do you have any evidence?"

Hearing this, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin looked at Gu Qian in tacit understanding. Because they both knew that with their daughter's intelligence, she must have gone out to look for something after lagging behind them for a few steps.

Seeing their eyes, Gu Qian walked out calmly and took out a few pieces of paper she found before going out.

"Uncle Village Chief, this is the receipt for several relatively expensive items that Gu Xi took from our house. The most expensive one is a silver hairpin that my parents bought for me. It is worth seven taels of silver, and this silver hairpin... is currently being worn on Gu Xi's head."

Following the direction Gu Qian pointed, everyone subconsciously looked towards the top of Gu Xi's head.

When Gu Xi heard this, she suddenly remembered that the hairpin she was wearing on her head was the one she had stolen from Gu Qian's room during the Chinese New Year when she wasn't paying attention.

But she didn't think it was a silver hairpin at all. She didn't think Gu Qian's family could afford a silver hairpin. She just thought it was an ordinary hairpin, just made to look silver.

Otherwise she would definitely keep it well and not wear it out.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the silver hairpin on her head, she subconsciously covered it up, not wanting others to see it.

"Village chief, Xiuqin and I bought this silver hairpin at the Gold and Silver Pavilion in Wu County. Here is the receipt. If you ask us, we will know that we are not lying."

"Well, that's right. This thing can't be fake. I know the Gold and Silver Pavilion, and this stamp is correct." The village chief looked carefully at the receipt in his hand and nodded.

Hearing this, Gu Xi, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei, who were already very panicked, became even more panicked.

"Village...Village Chief..." Gu Ming spoke carefully, trying to interrupt them, but was stopped by the village chief.

"Don't talk yet. Let Qianqian finish her words."
