Chapter 1324. Gougou Complains
Gougou began his complaint without any pressure.
As soon as Gougou arrived, he quickly assessed the situation, seeing You Laoer and his group being locked in the ancestral hall!
In his previous life, he had spent eleven years in this village. Unlike Mengyu, who was only focused on escaping, he observed and understood the people of this village and what they did. Of course, this was also to help Mengyu escape.
Therefore, he could immediately tell that those locked in the ancestral hall were all human traffickers!
Moreover, he noticed the door to the ancestral hall was not closed. Those people desperately tried to squeeze out but couldn’t, only able to stare with hatred at his godmother.
This indicated that there was an Array set by his godmother inside the ancestral hall.
Don’t ask him how he knew about Arrays. He not only knew about Arrays, but also about cultivators. Of course, he learned all of this from the old witch who gave him the ring in his past life and lived halfway up the mountain.
His godmother was truly formidable in this life! Connecting the dots with the Hundred Treasure Bag given by her, it’s possible that his godmother was the cultivator the old witch mentioned!
Although cultivators are not supposed to interfere in mortal affairs, the old witch once said that avenging oneself or one’s loved ones doesn’t count as interfering in mortal matters.
Thus, he knew that no matter how he complained, it wouldn’t make things difficult for his godmother.
Additionally, in his past life, his godmother suffered a lot from Zhao Liuping because of him. Since his godmother had been reborn, she would naturally want to settle the scores, and he was giving her a reason to deal with the Zhong couple.
Upon hearing Gougou’s complaint, Mengyu arched her brow: "What, the clothes I gave to my godson, since when did they become stolen from the Zhong Family? Zhong Jiaxiang, I know you came with my godson, come out and explain."
As soon as Zhong Jiaxiang heard Mengyu’s words, his mouth turned bitter, and he could only turn around—then he realized his body could move.
His next instinct was to flee, but he immediately realized that if he ran, there would surely be harsher punishment waiting for him.
He thought for a moment and then stood still, pretending to be nonchalant: "Oh, I was wondering who gave my Gougou such nice clothes; so it was Miss Jiang.
My wife didn’t know and thought they were clothes I bought for Xiao Bao, so she made him take them off. I will go back and tell her that the clothes were bought by Miss Jiang for our Gougou, not stolen from our Xiao Bao, so she shouldn’t blame our Gougou anymore."
Every time he said "our Gougou," anyone who didn’t know better would think he was so good to this adopted son bought to fulfill his destiny.
Moreover, he was declaring sovereignty, wasn’t he? Gougou belonged to his family. If you wanted Gougou, you’d have to appease him and be more lenient about matters.
Mengyu straightforwardly bypassed his "our Gougou" and sternly said: "You’re Zhong Jiaxiang, right? My godson was kidnapped and sold to you. I don’t blame you for that. After all, it’s understandable that you’d want to adopt a child to bring prosperity when you were destined to be childless.
However, I heard that after benefiting from my godson, who brought you a son, you constantly mistreated him and even wanted to torment him to death to make way for your own son?"
As soon as Zhong Jiaxiang heard these words, his face went pale.
He now deeply regretted buying a boy instead of a girl back then.
However, at that time, he wasn’t sure if his wife could bear children and thought of buying a boy. If his wife couldn’t give birth, this bought boy would be his son, who would later take care of him.
After having his own son, he did think about selling the adopted son to prevent him from competing for inheritance with his biological son. But he heard people say that the biological son came because of the adopted son and if the adopted son left, he might take the biological son with him.
Therefore, he didn’t dare to sell the adopted son, but he didn’t want to raise a boy for nothing. After all, boys are different from girls; girls can be married off, but boys need to establish a career.
Thus, a malicious plan took form.
