How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 22 just wants a definite answer.

"Okay." Gou Sheng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, Gousheng had transformed from a mischievous little boy into a serious old man.

Qian Laifu's gaze and expression towards Gousheng changed, and he grabbed Gousheng's hand. "Dad, Dad, you didn't see Chunhua down there, did you? You didn't see her, did you?"

The little dog glared at Qian Laifu. "What's the panic? If the Tang family only wanted Chunhua's life, they could have just kidnapped her. Why make such a fuss?"

Qian Laifu didn't have time to think about any of that right now; all he wanted was a definite answer. "Dad, you didn't see Chunhua down there, did you? You didn't, did you?"

"Didn't see it."

Qian Laifu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that I didn't see him, it's good that I didn't see him."

Xiao Gou Sheng glared at Qian Laifu again. "What's so good about it? If the Tang family really wanted to marry Chunhua as their daughter-in-law, they wouldn't have made a fake one."

Qian Laifu's breath caught in his throat again. "Dad, could you help me find Chunhua? I want to know where she is now?"

Gou Sheng also wanted to know where Chun Hua was now, but she didn't have the ability. "I can't. I've only managed to become a minor official, not the King of Hell."

Qian Laifu was a little disappointed. However, it was already good enough that his father had reminded them and helped them avoid the Tang family's deadly attack. "Father, do you think it was also a lie that Miss Tang was forced to jump off the mountain?"

Xiao Gou Sheng glanced at Qian Laifu. "Is that even a question? I heard from Xiao Gou Sheng that the girl from the Tang family jumped down with someone else, and that person probably knows martial arts."

"Hmm. Dad, why did the Tang family trick Chunhua away?"

"How would I know? I'm going to tell you a few things. First, continue begging at Longhua Temple during the day. Second, take your dog Sheng to the mass grave tonight. Third, even if Chunhua is killed by the Tang family, you'd better bear with it for now. You have a whole family behind you. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. We ordinary folks are the same."

"As long as we remember this grudge, we'll get our revenge someday. If we really can't get our revenge, we'll use the two thousand taels the Tang family gave us to hire an assassin to kill that old woman and that dead girl from the Tang family."

Qian Laifu gritted his teeth. "Fine. Dad, why do you want me to take Xiaogou Sheng to the mass grave? The mass grave is so scary! Xiaogou Sheng is still so small, what if he gets scared?" He loved his eldest granddaughter and his youngest granddaughter.

The little dog didn't want to go to the mass grave either. But...

Xiao Gou Sheng sighed. "I don't want you two to end up in a mass grave either. But you have neither money nor connections right now. How are you going to rescue Chunhua from the Tang family?"

“We…we have two thousand taels.”

Gou Sheng sighed again. "Two thousand taels can buy a martial arts master? Two thousand taels can make a martial arts master be devoted to you? The Tang family went to such great lengths and set up such a big scheme, they must have something big in mind. And if they have something big in mind, they must have invested a lot of manpower and resources."

"If you want to secretly rescue Chunhua from the Tang family, you'll need a master to help you."

"A master can not only help you save Chunhua, but also bewitch the Tang family."

"In the Tang family's mind, you are just peasants, incompetent and ignorant, and you would never be able to invite such a master. You would never imagine that they were lying to you."

"I sent you to the mass grave just so you could try your luck. If you happen to run into a martial arts master who's been tricked and is on his last breath, then pick him up."

"After you bring him back, treat him well. It would be best if he could survive, but if he doesn't, you can still learn something from him. The more you know, the more likely you are to come up with another solution."

Gou Sheng didn't want to buy people because firstly, they had no household registration; secondly, they needed to hide their whereabouts; thirdly, the grandmother and granddaughter were both very old and very young, and if the people they bought turned around and harmed them, they would be in big trouble; and fourthly, truly skilled people were often bought by others before they even reached the slave market.

Therefore, she had no choice but to try her luck at the mass grave.

If we can't find it, we'll think of other ways.

Qian Laifu understood. His father wanted to use the debt of saving his life to get the other person to help them save Chunhua. "Dad, you must bless Gousheng!"

"Okay. Anything else?"

"Gone."

"Then I'm leaving. Remember, don't act impulsively."

Qian Laifu nodded. "Don't worry. I won't neglect my other children for Chunhua's sake." "That's good. By the way, I still have to work down there, so I can't be available whenever you call. If you encounter an emergency and don't know what to do, just ask Gousheng."

"Okay." Qian Laifu agreed immediately. He hadn't realized at all that the girl was fake today.

"I'm leaving."

"Yes. Dad, you must bless Gousheng."

"I understand." After saying that, Gousheng closed his eyes and collapsed onto the haystack.

After a while, Gou Sheng opened his eyes.

Qian Laifu tenderly stroked Gou Sheng's little black face. "Your great-grandfather told us to go and squat in the mass grave, you know that, right?"

"I understand. Grandpa, don't worry, I'm very brave."

Qian Laifu hugged his little granddaughter tenderly. "Your great-grandfather will protect you. By the way, how did you tell that girl wasn't your eldest cousin today? Grandpa couldn't tell at all."

The little dog, Sheng, hugged Qian Laifu's neck and rubbed his face against him. "Grandpa, don't blame yourself. You have to go to the fields and figure out how to feed us. How can you have time to watch over my older cousin?"

“I’m different. I grew up on my older cousin’s back, and I followed her around every day after I grew up. I know my older cousin’s every move very well.”

"It's difficult to impersonate another person. You not only have to imitate their face, but also their movements and expressions."

"If you want to pretend that no one can tell, you have to stay by the side of the person you want to pretend to be for at least a year or two."

"From the moment Madam Tang so readily said she wanted to marry my eldest cousin to her as her daughter-in-law, it's clear they didn't consider us a rival at all. They thought that as long as they gave us a reason, we would be blinded by their family's wealth."

"Since they don't consider us as opponents, they probably won't put too much effort into us."

“Since I didn’t put in much effort, it was easy to be exposed. Plus, I’m with my older cousin every day, so when I saw that person, I knew she wasn’t my older cousin.”

"Later, as she passed by me, I looked at her hands again. Her fingers were longer than my older cousin's. Although my older cousin is still growing, she couldn't possibly grow that fast. My older cousin has only been separated from us for a few months, right?"

"After she passed by me, I looked at her back again, and her back was different from my older cousin's. Her waist was more flexible than my older cousin's."

"At this point, I'm pretty sure she's not my older cousin."

"To be absolutely certain that she wasn't my older cousin, I rushed over to them again when they came down the mountain to ask for copper coins."

“I know my older cousin well, and she knows me well too. Although I've gotten darker and thinner, my voice hasn't changed. How could my older cousin not recognize me? Even if she didn't, she would be puzzled. But that person didn't react at all.”

"It's not that there's none at all, but she seems to think I'm dirty."

"Also, when I was hugging her leg and begging for coins, I touched her calf and looked at her feet. Her calf was very soft and her feet were very delicate."

“My older cousin often goes up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables and collect firewood. Her calves are not as hard as rocks, but they are very strong. It’s impossible for my older cousin’s calves to become so soft in just a few months. Unless she stays in bed all the time.”

"And then there are her feet. Her feet are so thin and small. My older cousin's feet aren't as pretty as hers."

After saying that, Gou Sheng looked at her grandfather and asked, "With so many strange things going on, could she be my older cousin?"

No.

Qian Laifu listened, completely stunned.

No wonder his father told him to listen to his granddaughter when he encountered an emergency and didn't know what to do.

His granddaughter is not only smart, but also very thoughtful. He will consult her about everything he encounters in the future.

If only his eldest granddaughter were half as smart as his youngest. "Gousheng, tell me, has your eldest cousin figured something out yet?"
