What could possibly make Gu Nanzhi say sothing like that?
Tang Chuxia understood.
Because what Zheng Daqing said was, after school today, one of his classmates was found by her parents at school, hoping she would agree to drop out and get married!
This kind of thing was not uncommon; after all, Zheng Daqing’s classmate was a girl.
Even decades later, this kind of thing still happened.
What made Gu Nanzhi and Tang Chuxia furious was because the classmate’s parents were willing to marry off their eldest daughter just because their son cried, not allowing the most promising person in the family to be a daughter.
Such outrageous behavior was, astonishingly, indulged by parents.
Even more chilling was the fact that the little brother, for the sake of so new clothes, was ready to sell his elder sister.
What Zheng Daqing saw was poverty driving the classmate’s parents to such extres, but what Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi saw was the maliciousness of human nature.
"Stop lanting. Because of the flood recently, many people have fallen ill. Surely so at your school are sick too. You should be careful and it’s best to wear a dical mask when you go out!"
At that ti, dical masks were made of gauze and were quite thick; fortunately, it was winter now, and wearing a mask didn’t feel suffocating.
But it still was sothing people disliked.
Zheng Daqing responded with an ’oh’, his mood still not lifted, but that also ant that Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi had no desire to look for Beihuai and Zheng Duoqing.
As long as there was no loss of life, it was fine.
Tang Chuxia didn’t stay for dinner but left with Gu Nanzhi instead.
Halfway there, as they talked about the destruction the flood had brought to the city, they ca upon a terrifying scene.
Tang Chuxia: ...
Gu Nanzhi scread, which wasn’t out of place since there were many others screaming.
Tang Chuxia instinctively pulled Gu Nanzhi behind her, to shield her from the grueso scene that could scare her.
She herself wasn’t much afraid; she had seen her fair share of bloody scenes.
"Is he dead?"
Gu Nanzhi was petrified, clutching Tang Chuxia’s arm, afraid to open her eyes.
Tang Chuxia was not sure if the person being chased was dead, but by the ti the police arrived, the person with the weapon had indeed maid the other, as they could no longer see the victim’s face.
Tang Chuxia had been previously unsettled by watching the execution at the trial eting, and was shocked by the store owner’s comnt about a man being chopped five tis before falling, but now she had witnessed a person being turned into a bloody ss.
No one dared to step forward to stop the woman, even though so tried; but the woman kept yelling, "Whoever cos over, I’ll go after them!"
Everyone was a commoner and naturally did not dare to risk their lives on a misguided attempt at kindness.
What was key was the wounds on the woman’s body were quite terrifying. The person she was dealing with on the ground was clearly a middle-aged man. As she waved her weapon, she shouted, "You want to kill for a ghost marriage, I’ll take you all to hell with !"
What is a ghost marriage?
Those who knew, knew.
That kind of malevolent thing, no one knows why so insisted on it.
Tang Chuxia had also wanted to kick the weapon out of the woman’s hand, but when she heard "ghost marriage" and saw the woman’s determined expression, she didn’t move.
Actually, by the ti Gu Nanzhi was frightened, the woman’s weapon had already destroyed half of the man’s head.
Later the woman nearly hacked the man into mince at until the police appeared and reprimanded her.
The woman looked around: "I know I will be shot, I’ve lived enough, you don’t need to waste bullets, I’ll do it myself!"
The woman briskly ended her own life.
All were terrified.
It happened to be after school, and there were many children on the streets, all of whom were greatly frightened by the scene.
The screams were incessant.
Police hurried to disperse the crowd and cordoned off the scene as best as they could.
Tang Chuxia saw that Gu Nanzhi had turned pale, so she helped her to sit down in a teahouse to rest.
They listened to the surrounding chatter.
The scene was bloody, but that didn’t deter these people from gossiping.
Even in such a short ti, they had already pieced together what had happened.
It turned out that the deranged woman was a student. Her parents had gone to her school to withdraw her so they could arrange for her to co ho, not expecting the student’s younger brother to accidentally let slip that they planned to force her into a spirit marriage.
The female student clearly knew what spirit marriage was and she went mad, seizing a weapon from a woman who was slaughtering chickens at the school gate, and then chased after her parents.
After dealing with her malevolent brother, when she was being beaten by her father, she had an emotional outburst and chased after her biological father in a frenzy.
In any case, the scene was particularly tragic.
After piecing together the truth, Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi felt a sense of familiarity.
"Could it be Daqing’s classmate?"
After Gu Nanzhi asked, Tang Chuxia nodded.
It was very likely that individual.
It was a pity, crushed by life into abandoning her own.
What had been rely a tragedy took a turn for the worse when the female student’s mother and brother also appeared at the scene as Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi were about to leave.
The female student’s mother went mad, pounding on her daughter.
If people hadn’t intervened, she probably would have thrown her daughter away.
The student’s brother was not insane, instead, he pointed at the student’s body and proudly said to his mother, "Isn’t this better? A direct spirit marriage, and we get more money this way!"
The student’s mother was stunned on the spot.
And that wasn’t the worst part. Even more horrifying was her son pointing at the body of his own father and continuing, "He can have one too, double the money!"
The student’s mother went mad right there.
As long as her brain wasn’t broken, she would know that the son she treasured like a gem was actually a demon who would never honor her.
That’s how this family ended up—with so dead, so mad.
It was sothing that made one sigh with emotion.
Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi, furious but helpless, could do nothing.
At tis like this, one could only be angry, completely unable to do anything.
There are always so scum living in this world.
The two of them finally made it ho and shared what they had witnessed with their family, naturally making everyone quite upset.
Gu Nanzhi was so frightened, she insisted on sleeping with Tang Chuxia, fearing she’d have nightmares if she slept alone that night.
When Gu Beihuai ca back, he found his own sister wrapped in Tang Chuxia’s arms, lying on his marital bed.
If a dark face could be described, then at that mont, his was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Gu Nanzhi, go back to your room to sleep!"
Gu Beihuai was really annoyed; he still rembered the plan for the day, how could he let Gu Nanzhi spoil it?
But facing his thick-skinned sister, "Brother, you can’t be so unreasonable, I am your own sister, do you have the heart to watch your own sister have nightmares?"
Gu Beihuai took deep breaths, seeking help by looking at Tang Chuxia, but Tang Chuxia refused to look at him.
If she helped Gu Beihuai at that mont, not to ntion whether they might lose their close friendship with Gu Nanzhi, the main thing was that she felt it was awkward to deliberately indulge in passion.
"Can’t you just think of it as looking after your little sister?" Tang Chuxia said, and then Gu Beihuai shouted, "I don’t want to look after her!!!"
