Chapter 474 Why Are You Helping Her?
As dusk fell, I returned to the village and smelled the smell of cooking in every household.

Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Xiaoli, and Gu Beihe returned to the village.

Passing by the village chief's house, I saw Ms. Liu and several relatives coming out of the house with solemn expressions.

They should have met each other, so Gu Beihe could only nodded politely.

Liu was in no mood to pay attention to anyone and went home with the help of relatives.

After Shen Xiaoyu saw them walking away, he said to Gu Beihe, "Something must have happened to your fourth aunt, her face is so ugly."

Gu Beihe couldn't remember any specific things about his third uncle and his fourth uncle's family in his previous life. He only remembered that a serious flood occurred in Gujia Village and the entire village was submerged.

All his family members were dead before the flood.

They met Mrs. Zhao on the road, and Mrs. Zhao enthusiastically told the story of Zhou's arrest of He Xiu and Gu Si vividly.

"According to rural regulations, these two have to be dipped in the pig cage! Tsk tsk, what a crime! Your grandfather has been diligent and honest all his life, but he didn't expect such a bastard to come out!" Mrs. Zhao complained and looked at Gu Beihe with some embarrassment.

Gu Beihe said expressionlessly: "Our second wife has severed ties with them a long time ago. This matter will not bring shame to us."

Mrs. Zhao walked away in disbelief.

Although Shen Xiaoyu felt that He Xiu was not a good person, he helped her introduce Boss Qin. Now the business cooperation is relatively stable. The monthly income from selling pastries to Boss Qin is enough for their family of five to cover their daily expenses and can still save money. The rest is left to the stall for turnover.

If He Xiu was really immersed in a pig cage, she would still feel a little sad. After all, this is a human life, and you will die for messing around.
Shen Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and when he went to Huali County to set up a stall the next day, he took some time to go to the pastry shop and tell Boss Qin about it.

"Boss Qin, your cousin is in danger now. Only you can save her." Shen Xiaoyu advised.

Boss Qin looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, I'm not her cousin."

Shen Xiaoyu was surprised: "But He Xiu said you are her cousin, is it because he is in love?"

Boss Qin immediately raised his finger to his lips and looked inside the store: "My wife is inside, I can't help her with this matter."

He took out a tael of silver and handed it to Shen Xiaoyu: "This is all I can do."

Shen Xiaoyu was helpless and didn't know what to do with a few taels of silver.

She went to see Gu Beihe and asked him for his opinion.

Gu Beihe said: "It's better not to get involved in this kind of thing."

Shen Xiaoyu: "It's so cruel to watch He Xiu die like this. How about we do something to wait for He Xiu to be drowned and then rescue her?"

Gu Beihe looked at her curiously: "Why do you want to help her? Didn't she like to cause trouble for you before?"

Shen Xiaoyu: "It's a trivial matter to cause trouble to me, and the crime will not lead to death. And I heard that if your grandfather went to plead for mercy, Gu Si would not have to die, but He Xiu would have to drown. This is very unfair!"

When she heard what Mrs. Zhao said, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

Gu Si was imprisoned for a day. After discussion between the village chief and the village elders, Gu Si was released. He was fined ten taels and a fish pond was confiscated for the public use of the village.

But He Xiu was still locked in the firewood shed of the ancestral hall, waiting to choose a date for "execution".

I heard that she cried in the woodshed day and night until her voice became hoarse, but no one paid any attention to her.

Someone would bring her meals every day, but she was chained and couldn't escape.
