”Jinsi, you've really given us face!”
As everyone talked at once, Su JinSe only smiled faintly and cupped her fist, ”Thank you for your love, Dad, Mom, and Li Zheng. I want to go to Uncle Gu's house and visit Auntie Gu. By the way, give me a stick of incense.”
”Then we'll go with you?”
”No need, I will go by myself. Little Sister, bring the villagers to sit at home.”
”Alright, sister, come back early!”
”Got it!”
Su Jin Se went to Gu Li's house by herself. Gu Li's house was at the end of the village, and it was a small thatched hut. Outside the courtyard, she heard the sound of coughing before she even entered.
”Auntie Gu …”
She pushed through the short wooden fence and entered. ”Who is it? Who called me?”
When Auntie Gu walked out and saw that it was Su Jin Se, she said joyfully, ”Jin Se? ”You …”
”Aunt, I won the match, thank you for your blessings, it was really effective. The lord has already washed our grievances, I have come to tell you that the person who killed Uncle Gu was Fan Daniu, the lord has already put him in jail, and we will execute him in the autumn.”
”What? Fan Daniu really killed my husband?”
Auntie Gu immediately hated him so much that her teeth itched, ”Fan Daniu who killed my husband with a thousand knives! You caused my husband's death! You will die a horrible death!”
He wanted to pull her up, but she refused, ”Heavens, thank you for opening your eyes. You've finally found the culprit who killed my husband. Husband, please rest in peace in the underworld!”
After she kowtowed three times, Su Jinther hurriedly helped her up, ”Aunt, don't be sad!”
Lady, come, sit in the house, I knew that good people will be rewarded. Actually, back then when the county magistrate said that you two sisters had killed my husband, I didn't believe him at all.
”Thank you for Aunty's trust. Fortunately, Uncle Gu's spirit in heaven can rest in peace now!”
”That's right, that's right. Come on, come on in!”
The room was very simple and crude. It could be seen that life in the Gu household had not been easy. Now that Uncle Gu was dead, it was even harder for Auntie Gu to recover from her illness.
Su Jin Se looked at the household deity rankings, took three incense sticks of time, and bowed towards them, ”Uncle Gu, don't worry. The person who harmed you, Fan Da Niu, has already been arrested. You can rest in peace!”
”Wuu, hubby, did you hear that? The person who harmed you, Fan Da Niu, has been captured. You can close your eyes!”
Auntie Gu knelt down and burned the incense with piety, but her eyes were filled with tears. She wiped them away, ”Jinsi, thank you!”
”Auntie, thank me for what, I said I would catch Uncle Gu's killer, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate would take the initiative, take good care of yourself, this is the gold spoon for the prize I got today, how much silver do I think you should sell it for, treat this properly?”
”I … I can't take that?”
Auntie Gu saw the golden spoon. It was worth a lot of money, so why wouldn't she take it?
”Take it. Uncle Gu is no longer here. You need money. I can help you with that, that's all.”
As long as someone was wronged, she would be the first to step forward. This kind of temperament was developed in her previous life, even if she was a country girl, her hobby of meddling in other people's business would not change.
