Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Swindling Money

After Gu Ya left, Su Yunjin had been waiting at home for him to return. During this time, Auntie Song paid a visit to bring Su Yunjin some tonic soup. Upon hearing that Gu Ya had gone to the Gu Family’s old residence, Auntie Song stayed to chat with Su Yunjin for a while. Butcher Yu, who sold pork in the town, wasn’t far from Gu Jianghai’s Bun Shop, and he had heard some of the events that transpired there. He had even run over to take a look.

However, by the time Butcher Yu arrived, Gu Jianghai had already finished fighting and, injured, had been taken to the herbal medicine shop. Su Yunjin learned from Auntie Song that she knew a bit about her younger brothers’ situation.

Su Yunjin quickly asked her, “Auntie, please tell me what exactly happened?” Su Yunjin inquired, and Auntie Song shared everything she knew.

“Third daughter-in-law, your uncle said it seemed like your fifth brother had a fight with your fourth brother. Reportedly, your fifth brother went crazy when he saw your fourth brother and started beating him up. At first, your fourth brother just dodged and didn’t fight back, but later, he started hitting back as your fifth brother pursued him,” relayed Auntie Song.

Could it be that the fifth brother fought with Gu Tiezhu? Su Yunjin was rather surprised. Hadn’t Gu Tiezhu disappeared without a trace after deceiving Gu Jianghai and his wife of their silver?

And how could he suddenly appear in the town?

And in front of Gu Jianghai’s Bun Shop?

With a confused expression, Su Yunjin listened as Auntie Song continued, “Initially, your fifth brother was getting the upper hand; your fourth brother was no match for him, getting pummeled with several punches and even tumbling on the ground. Just when it seemed like your fifth brother was about to tie up your fourth brother, the latter suddenly got help. Three or four men joined in and beat your fifth brother, who ended up injured while your fourth brother ran away.”

The fifth brother was injured?

It wasn’t serious, was it?

Both Su Yunjin and Gu Ya had only heard that Gu Jianghai had injured someone and hadn’t heard about Gu Jianghai being injured himself. Auntie Song also had only a partial understanding of the matter.

As Su Yunjin asked how severe Gu Jianghai’s injuries were, Auntie Song admitted she didn’t know either, “Third daughter-in-law, how badly is your fifth brother injured? I really can’t say.”

Since Auntie Song didn’t know, Su Yunjin didn’t press further, but Auntie Song asked Su Yunjin why Gu Jianghai had fought Gu Tiezhu.

On this matter, Su Yunjin was quite clear. Initially, Gu Tiezhu had deceived Gu Jianghai and his wife out of a substantial amount of silver, leaving Gu Jianghai infuriated. Right away, Gu Jianghai wanted to settle the score with Gu Tiezhu, but Gu Tiezhu had vanished for a long time and had never returned to the Gu Family’s old house.

After so long, seeing Gu Tiezhu again, Gu Jianghai undoubtedly unleashed the anger he had been harboring, and naturally, he chased down Gu Tiezhu to beat him.

Su Yunjin shared the reason for Gu Jianghai fighting Gu Tiezhu with Auntie Song, explaining that Gu Tiezhu had conned Gu Jianghai and his wife out of so much silver.

Auntie Song was also very angry.

Furiously, she kept cursing Gu Tiezhu for being no good.

Even conning his own brother’s money.

That’s outrageous.

After sending away Auntie Song, Gu Ya returned before long. The moment Gu Ya arrived, Su Yunjin eagerly inspected him, asking about Gu Jianghai’s condition, “My dear, how is it? How severe are fifth brother’s injuries?”

Gu Ya looked at his young wife, somewhat surprised.

“Yunjin, how did you know fifth brother was injured?” Gu Ya was unaware that Auntie Song had visited, nor did he know that his young wife had learned about Gu Tiezhu being the person who fought with Gu Jianghai.
